We make a particular and special effort at the time the required appraisals are made to reassure occupants of properties being appraised that there is no reason for them to be upset and that no immediate relocation will be necessary. As you probably know, it is to the advantage of tenants in a case such as this to remain on the premises until we can legally assist in their reloca- tion by paying their moving expenses and otherwise assist them. I am enclosing a copy of the notice to occupants of the area which is a Federal requirement, and we think a good and fair one. You will notice that it urges people not to move until they have consulted our representative about relocation. We have talked with our appraiser whom we employed to make this ap- praisal and he tells us that he did his best to reassure the tenants in your property that there would be no immediate change and no reason for them to contemplate moving. However, he did have to identify himself as an appraiser in order to carry out his work. With all the public hearings and public discussions which have been conducted con- cerning the use of this area as a school-park complex for the City, as well as the notice referred to above, we expect that there is general knowledge in the neighborhood that eventually some of this property will be acquired. We presume and hope that the improvements which you made on your property three years ago enhanced its value in an amount which can be’ recognized in the appraisals so that you will recover the addi- tional investment which you made.

Mr. Waller of your office, with whom I have recently talked, confirmed the fact that one of our representatives (since I am a taxpayer) made the colossal error of mentioning to some of the tenants at this address that he was there to appraise the property which would eventually be turned over to some city sreleet, Since that time, the tenants have eee teat ta and I have now a vacant 12-unit apartment building in an area that is high in vandalism. I am paying my taxes and my insurance as prescribed by law. Please tell me to whom I can appeal in an attempt to arrive at some act of justice involving this piece of property. y experience with the Atlanta Housing Authority, through the years, has been most gratifying and fair; and I am sure that somewhere in the inte mental structure of the city some mistake has been made. roximately three years ago I = hone casas ie the city, through its many tors, to to staedard” citing specific improvements to . anée. ty seat of which was between three and five thousand dollars.

Satterfield Executive Director Atlanta Housing Authority 324 Hurt Building Atlanta, Georgia Re: University Center, Urban Redevelopment Area, Parcel 733 Project Ga. R-ll, Bid Proposal Dear Mr. Satterfield: I represent Mr. R. C. Cunningham II of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma who submitted a bid to the Atlanta Housing Authority in conform- ity with the invitation for bid provided in connection with Parcel 73, Project Georgia R-ll, styled University Center, Urban Redevelopment Area. The bids were opened on April 12, 1967, at which time Mr. Cunningham was present, together with a number of his associates, and at that time no comment was made with respect to the propriety of the bid insofar as it conformed, or did not confirm, technically, to the invitation. In this connection may I respectfully point out that paragraph 1 of the attachment to the letter dated March 31, 1967 from Mr. John T. Hopkins, Real Estate Officer, the attachment being a memo from Mr. Lester H. Persells, Director of Redevelopment, providing in part that "... proposals will be inspected for conformance with the terms of the ‘Invitation for Proposals.’'“ May I further call to your at- tention the provisions of paragraph 10, on page 3, of the invi- tation for proposals which indicates, again in part, that "The Agency reserves the right to reject any and all Proposals and to waive any and all irregularities that appear in any Proposal." Mr. Persells' letter of April 21, 1967 indicated that Mr. Cunning- ham's proposal was rejected because of “non-conformance with the terms and conditions as set out in the ‘Invitation for Proposals', Paragraph 1 which states, ‘Three copies of each Proposal shall be Page Two Mr. M. B. Satterfield May 5, 1967 submitted on the form of ‘Redeveloper's Proposal’ prepared by the Agency and attached hereto.'" Upon receipt of this letter, we contacted your office and subse~ guently spoke to Mr. Persells, and I spoke to Mr. Byron Attridge. I was informed by Mr. Attridge. on May 4th that the Authority had considered our request for reconsideration unfavorably. It would then appear necessary that we inspect the reason for the rejection as stated, and attempt to determine whether the indicated non- conformance is of such substantial nature as to preclude consid- eration of my clients proposal on its merits. The redevelopment proposal referred to is contained in the package of Disposition Documents which relates not only to the proposal stage, but ap- parently to the entire transaction. Certain ambiguities are ap- parent in the listing of requirements, starting on page 1, which resulted in the actual form of proposal not being submitted with the remaining documents. The documents actually submitted were: (1) a proposal bid in the amount of $3,700; (2) a site plan, to- gether with floor plans and elevations; (3) a narrative descrip- tion of the development; (4) a rendering of the project; (5) the redevelopers statement for public disclosure; and (6) the rede- velopers statement of qualifications and financial responsibility. The redevelopers proposal referred to in the first full paragraph thereof states that the redeveloper “offers to purchase all that tract or parcel of land lying and being in land lot 84 of the 14th District of Fulton County, Georgia, being a part of the University Center, Urban Redevelopment Area and being more particularly des~ LS MOG Al 2ADAL et! Ler OQ fie OF] YL AGLeenvelL ‘©, JL BDC = ion of Las bmitted herewith, and by reference made & part hereof..." Logic would seem to dictate that the wording contained in the redevelopers proposal could be interpreted to mean that such proposal is to be submitted only after the Authority had accepted a particular bid, at which time the proposal would be attached to the agreement for disposition of land and submitted as a package, together with the remaining formal documents to the parties. A Page Three Mr. M. B. Satterfield literal interpretation of the language in the redevelopers pro- posal would seemingly preclude its submission at the time the redeveloper transmitted his bid to the Authority. May we then examine the remainder of the proposal to ascertain whether, in fact, the redeveloper has complied with the substan- tive portions of that document; paragraph 1, for example, that a site plan and floor plans, together with type list, elevations, and a narrative description, are to be submitted. This was done. In the same paragraph 1, the redeveloper must set out the actual cost of the improvements. This item was covered under part B, on page 4, of the redevelopers statement for public disclosure. Paragraph 2 requires the deposit of a proposal bond in the amount ef $3,700. This was done. Paragraph 3 requires the submission of the redevelopers statement for public disclosure and the redevelopers statement of qualifi- eations and financial responsibility. These items were submitted with my client's bid. In conclusion, I submit that my client substantially conformed with all conditions precedent to the submission of his bid, and I further submit that, with respect to the reason for rejection set out in Mr. Persells' letter of April 21, 1967, that there was, ‘and is, a latent ambiguity in the bid documents which could reason- ably be interpreted to mean that the actual proposal was not to be submitted with the bid. I further submit for your consideration that all bidding was done on the basis of developing the entire txact of land, the purchase of which was established, not only in the formal bid documents, but also in the brochure involving bids, copy enclosed, and that no where in my client's submission is it noted that his offer related to either a lesser price for the land, or was to be deemed an offer to purchase anything but the full tract of land involved. Page Four Mr. M. B. Satterfield May 5, 1967 in general, may I say that my client is well known in the build- ing ef projects insured by the Federal Housing Administration, and has evidenced a desire and ability to provide the type of housing which, as indicated in your brochure, is one of the great needs of Atianta at this time. I trust you will see fit to favor us with further consideration in this matter, and give us the opportunity te present this case to you on its merits.

Your action to pass a resolution to waive irregularities in the Rosen proposal, was within the discretionary powers of the authority and was st in the invitation for bids. However, to exercise this power should have been limited to a situation where there were no other quali- fied proposals submitted, Further, to exercise this power in this instance shows partiality and discrimination against the other biders. Every Re- developer was aware of the bid requirements and should have been required to fully comply. Those that did not comply should have been disqualified from competition. 2. Some city officials stated that “to give the contract for Rockdale to the "Negro" group would have meant outsiders wouldn't have bid on the cme res because most professional advice favored the “White” group's take exception to this type of thinking. In the firet place, the ied. And since our plan was second best, (in your opinion) it should have received the contract on Rockdale. Secondly, how are you ever wong ny encourage locat participation under the circumstances of in- 4, If your lawyers were of the opinion that it was important to open the bids on Rockdale in room 824 because the invitation for bid called fortthis action, then they should also share our opinion that every other requirement of th&t document be complied with. Gentlemen, the words competitive bid means to give all interested parties the same opportunities to comply with the rules and then judge them im- partially. It does not mean passing special resolutions that apply to some groups; nor does it mean drawing special contracts. Your re-consideration of your decision on Rockdale is hereby requested, Very truly yours, . JOHNSON-RIGHARDSON & ASSOCIATES SeSer J. CG. Johnson President ICI/w CC: Edwin Le.

In addition, the Atlanta newspapers devoted considerable space to acknowledging and reporting this development.
