The Honorable Thomas R. Byrne
and Members of the Coun�il
of t23e City of Saint Panl
Gentleanen:
For the past thr�e years the City has had a contr�et
with Minnesota Tnvestigators, Inc. to provide inwestigating
services for the Office of the Corporation Co�nsel. The con-
tract providea that it shall be automatically rer�ewed eaeh year
on M�y 1 unless either party ��rves the other with aotic� of
c�ncellation in writiag at l�ast 3� da�� prior to the end of th�
contract term.
The �ervice� of Minnesota Inve�tig�tors l�ave been genera�lly
satisfactory. Howe�er, there would �ppear to be some areas per-
taining to the man�er in which i�w��tig�tions are handled and the
reports and acco�tiag pertaising thereto which ahonld be chaaged.
Therefore, S am requesting that the Couneil authorize th� cancel-
lation of the contract in order that new speeifications �ay be
drawn to better handl� th�se investigations. �he coatraet wo�ld
thea be awarded by competitive biddiag.
Th� present eontsact proviales for a fee of $6.�0 per �an
hour of inv�stigatioa, and for thi� reason, I hestita�e to cancel -
the contract. Realistically, however, it doe� not :eem pc�ssible
that a professional job could be aceomplished at such a low rate
in wiew of the tremeadous inflation that has taken pla�e during
the past few years.
If the Couneil chooses to act on this, it is nece��ary that
it b� done immediately, since the notice of cancellation m�ast be
served before April 1.
�ery truly yo�rs,
� `�
