Trj dagli's What is it.
While the people assemble to express their views upon the late transactions of the County Commissioners, selling the E. & C. R.'R. stock and the awardingof a contract to erect a Court House building, it may be of interest to the public to hear what the Architect has to say about letting work to the lowest bidder, or by the selection of a contractor to do a first class job, confiding in his integrity to make only a reasonable margin for his trouble and cares.
When the work is to be let to the lowest responsible bidder it implies that there may be such proposals emanating from persons irresponsible. What that responsibility is I have never seen clearly defined. However, the supposition is that the responsibility is meant, not the ability of a contractor to do a first-class job, but his facilities to give any amount of sureties and bond to stand for him in case he does the work wrong.
In practice, such a responsibility is a dead letter. The lowest responsible bidder may do his very best, and spend every effort to produce a good job and yet entirely fail. It is very hard to strike such a man. The cause ofhis failure lies in the fact that the lowest bidder is seldom the best builder, lacks mechanical skill and mental ability to carry a work through with that completeness and perfection which belongs only to an intelligent and well balanced mind.
If it so happens that the lowest responsible bidder be a weak, second-rate man, and selects sub-contractors of his own type, all the bonds and securities in the world cannot prevent the work to resemble the master. Man stamps his own work with the labor ofhis intelligence. If, on the other hand, the lowest bidder be an intelligent, square contractor, who aims to do right, aud happens to find out that he does a work for which he receives no remuneratioB, we witness the strange spectacle of one of Nature's noble sons, toiling for another man, or for the State, while himself does not earn a farthing for his family.
If such intelligent lowest bidder has the misfortune to have selected inferior nub-contractors the case is worse still he has to stand as the god-father for the short comings and imbecility of others has to be the responsible man in and out constantly in hot water for every ailment the building passes through during its erection, and not unfrequently does he experience a deficit at the end.
Such results soon spread disgust among the better class of mechanics and if the lowest responsible bidding be carried on stubbornly by architects who understand to bring building competition down to the lowest. scrafch, the inevitable result will be that the cream of mechanics invariably must be excluded from all participation in important works to leave room for inferiority and mediocracy lowering at once the standard of mechanics throughout the community. It is ati utter impossibility for a boss to do a good job for the rates of a cheap one hence they come to the conclusion what they will give you for your mocey, if you cut us down by severe competition.
The public generally courts the lowest bidder it flatters the mind. We admit, that two offers beingequal in quality and in quantity, the lowest bid is the best. But this rule is seldom applicable in all branches engaged upon a building. An experienced architect will come nearest in succeeding to make an approximation ef the lowest bidding fallacy. But, as we stated above, the better he succeeds he better he kills good mechanical skill. Bosses soon avoid him and insinuate to the people that there isn't much use for an architect that they will get up that little sketch and save that per cent, for professional service^, and then the people who build get up a competition among builders, upon each showing his own plan, his own specification, and in that way the intelligent mechanic attempts to escape the demoralizing influeuce of a systematic' Jowest bidding under the control and management of an architect, for, when a builder proposes on his own sketch and specification, the lowest bidder has vauished, although the illusion remains in the minds of the people. Ignorance is bliss.
As I believe that the people of our Republic should manage all business in a strict democratic sense, all men should stand on equal footing, I think it wroug to favor only the smart and intelligent the inferior mechanic also must have a chauce. But I protest against giving it all to him I protest against any system which will run down intellect, skill and ability, and bring to the surface nothing but ill-coucealed defects, barely varty nished over the entire social body.
Almost every intelligent and wealthy citizen who considers his brains a whole world to himself, is emphatically opposed to the lowest bidders to do his building, because thwir mind strikes them as the sight of
JV
thirty-four year old horse
doing service in an express wagon. The wealthy man did not get rich by being the lowest bidder. As a general thing he becomes ich by doing his work thoroughly as a good mechanic, with all necessary pains and intelligence,. and claiming pay for it. Such minds have a dislike of all mediocrities and hate to surround themselves with matter- and men to do their building, not ooming up to the standard of their mind.
After a litttle thought it is easy to understand why Legislators do not pass any law compelling public officers to let work by public competition to the lowest bidder. In the absence of any statute we must, infer that it was a patent fact with them that public competition is no protection at all against the perpetration of
swindles, if the men in charge of a trust are bent upon preying upon tho public treasury. Hence the couclusion, that tViat- form of proceeding amounts to nothing, and is oftentimes but a mantle to cover wicked dealings.
As an architect, I have come to the couclusion long ago, not to force views of letting upon any pers wlo intends 'o build. It is all indifferent whether it I to the lowest bidder or by selection. In all cases I act as an agent whose duty it is to guard the interest of the private cit zen, the public or State. In every case I bend mjr work to suit the circumstances, hence I haudle jobs, in which the entire set of plans, elevations, sections, details, and a hundred pages of specifira ion'-, and a hundred yards of detail drawings are used before auy contract is let.
In other cases, I have carried important buiklings through completion without auy specification at all, while some are erected with duplicates of every line and word of the full drawings aud specifications.
And finally, in one building at the completion, there was nothing left but a wort
111
ess set of drawings and specifications which were as the building was not.
I have no knowledge that tiny fault was found by ray employers in ttie manner the above works were carried on. It shows only, provided one acts right, that the manner of proceeding are of little consequence.
In all important structures, the notion to strictly adhere to the original plans and specifications without anticipating changes, i« wrong. As' an architect is the foreman of the contractors and the mechanics, and as it is his brains which builds, and as the world is constantly on the move, he may find out to-morrow, how to improve the thoughts of to-day. It is a mistake to run himself in a track, to spin his way as a machine, to serve the puplic. Therefore are the buildings in which the architects are constantly in the harness during the execution of the works the best made and arranged buildings.
The proceedings of the County Commissioners in letting the contract of works to Mr. Thomas B. Snapp, and appointing an architect to give full professional services, is a decided improvement upon letting the works to the lowest responsible bidder, and slicing it out to Peter and Paul, a little at a time.
It is often a surprise to see how a'building let in separate contracts will-run beyond estimates. As to letting in a lump to the lowest bidders, our best contractors have many times expressed their disgust of it, as they cut figures so low that they cannot afford to do the work right, being under the necessity to employ second-rate sub-contractors to secure the job.
Experience has proven that outsiders cannot compete with home mechanics, hence they are out of the question.
The Commissioners in appointing an architect to the works put an agent in office to see that Mr. Thomas Snapp furnishes first-class work and materials for the value of the contract sum. Any imputations to the contrary are "simply rediculous, and emanate from over-excited brains.
J. A. VKYDAGH, Architect.
The World does not Contain a medical preparation which has obtained a more wide-spread and deserved popularity than the MEXICANMUSTANG LINIMENT. Since its introduction to public notice more tjian twenty years ago, it has been constantly used for every kind of disease or injury to man or beast which can be affected by a local application, and so far as its proprietors are aware, it has not failed in a single instance. After so long and successful a term of probation, who will have the hardihood to deny its pre-eminent claims to popular esteem.
