City Manager Charles Nickerson explained that on January 16, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized the City Manager to enter into a contract with Routh Wrecker Service to provide towing services for the City of Little Rock. (See Resolution No. 9,606.) Staff provided information to Routh and has been trying to get a signed contract since that time, but has been unable to get any kind of contract signed. He directed Staff to notify Routh Wrecker Service that if the signed contract was not received by 5:00 o'clock P.M. of this date (February 6, 1996) he would recommend to the Board of Directors dispensing with that contract and awarding an emergency contract and go out for bids. He did receive an initialed contract from Routh by 5:00 o'clock. Mr. Routh agreed in principle but wanted his attorney to review the contract before actually signing it. However, his attorney would not be available to do so for a couple of days. Mr. Nickerson said that the contract had been signed past the deadline, so apparently the provisions were acceptable. Mr. Nickerson said he still had concerns, but the contract had been signed. City Attorney Tom Carpenter explained the issues that held up the signing of the contract. Mr. Robert Newcomb, Attorney for Routh Wrecker Service, explained that the final draft of the contract was received by Mr. Routh at 3:15 o'clock P.M. Mr. Newcomb was in court and could not review the contract until after 5:30 P.M., but Mr. Routh did initial it before the 5:00 o'clock deadline. Mr. Ron Routh said there were never any major problems - just some things that needed to be ironed out before the contract was signed. Mr. Carpenter responded to questions by Director Adcock regarding when vehicles would be towed to the City of Little Rock Impoundment Lot. Mr. Jeff Jenkins, owner of Asher Wrecker Service, and the other bidder for the contract, spoke in opposition to the contract with Routh Wrecker Service. The Board of Directors generally felt the contract was in order. Following the lengthy discussion, no action was taken by the Board of Directors.
