FROM: Beryl A. Nor
Assistant City Attorney
DATE: Ma.rch 19, 1982
RE: Resolution requesting payment to General Security
Services Corporation
This lawsuit arises out of a contract which Planning and Economic
Development entered into on beha.lf of the City with General
Security Services Corporation to provide guard services at the
old Gillette Hospital site in 1980. The City utilized General
Security (aka Midwest Patrol) from the time we took over Gillette
Hospital in 1979 until the contract was terminated by us effective
August l, 1980.
The lawsuit was brought seeking $8,484.00, plus legal interest
from August 1980 for twenty-four hour guard services in June
and July 1980. 'I'he contract was in effect during those months
but the City withheld payment based on poor per�ormance of the
contract and vandalism to the hospital during the time Midwest
Patrol was providin� guard services. Investi gation of the lawsuit
revealed that the City cannot prove any actual monetary loss
due to the damage to the building nor can we prove that the
damages occurred within June and July of 1980. We do have evidence
of some poor performance of the contract based upon discovered
acts of some of the guards , however, this is poorly documented.
If we went to trial, there is no question but that it would be
found tha.t we owe most of the money claimed. Therefore, this
office recommends payment of $7 ,000 in settlement of this suit
to avoid the costs of trial and possibility of judgment in excess
of $10,000.
