INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
MAY 9, 1985
T0: S. Gillett - Asst. Director of Public Works
FROM: J. Ray - Purchasing Agent
SUBJECT: Sealed Bid 4/0097: Street Material
Advertised sealed bids 440097 were opened and read in City Council Chambers
May 6, 1985 at 4 p.m. Sealed bid invitations were mailed to nine area manufac-
turers and jobbers of liquified petroleum products with the following four re-
turning bid packages; (1) Gulf States Asphalt, (2) Shepler Equipment Co., Inc.,
(3) Wright Asphalt Products Co., and (4) Exxon Co., U.S.A.
Vendors were asked to submit pricing for (1) Cut Back Asphalt, (2) Emulsions,
and (3) Liquid Asphalt Cement. All respondents bid firm pricing for only 30 days
with "price in effect at time of delivery" prevailing after that period of time.
Low bid in Section I, Cut Back Asphalt, is Exxon Co., U.S.A. Prices averaged
5% higher than pricing under the current agreement. Exxon.Co., U.S.A. did not
submit a bid for Cut Back Asphalt in 55 gallon drums. Gulf States Asphalt Co.
is the only respondent for asphalt products in drums.
In Section II Gulf States Asphalt Co. is the only respondent for Emulsion
with pricing ranging from an increase of 23% on delivered emulsions to a 3%
decrease on Emulsion picked up in 55 gallon drums.
Low bid in Section III, Liquid Asphalt Cement, is Exxon Co., U.S.A. Prices
averaged 6% higher than pricing under the current agreement.
Sheplers Equipment Co., Inc. is recognized sole source for Catalytically
Blown Asphalt Joint and Crack Sealer in the Houston area. Sheplers Inc. sub-
mitted pricing of $.25 per pound for the material. This represents no increase
in the price currently being paid for this material.
Recommended bid awards for one year supply agreements on the aforementioned
materials are as follows:
1. Section I - Cut Back Asphalts - Exxon Co., U.S.A. - Low bid meeting
specifications
2. Section II - Emulsions - Gulf States Inc. - Sole source supplier
3. Section III - Liquid Asphalt Cement - Exxon Co., U.S.A. - Low bid
meeting specifications
4. Section IV - Catalytically Blown Asphalt - Shepler's Inc. - Sole
source supplier
In addition, I recommend awarding a one-year contract to Gulf States
Asphalt Co. for the supply of liquid asphalts and emulsions in 55 gal. drums.
I trust this recommendation will meet with your approval.

Dear Mr. Owen:
Anita L. DuPont
President
I recently met with your City Secretary, Cherie Black and her
Assistant, Laura Hall, regarding the reorganization of your city
files. After a brief discussion, it became apparent that there
are a number of things that must be discussed in more detail in
order to design and implement a system that will meat your needs.
The following are a few items that should be addressed before
progressing 'any further.
1. Do you want a decentralized or controlled filing system?
2. In either a decentralized or controlled system, it is nec-
essary to know how all the departments currently interface.
3. Will wo have access to all department files in order to
create a standardised system?
4. If you want a system that is controlled and secure, will
there be a central file room with a file clerk?
5. What capabilities do your various computer applications
currently offer?
6. Is there a current index of all files that are to be re-
organized?
7. How many of these files are currently managed on your
computers?
8. Are there samples of existing filing systems? tIt is pos-
sible that an existing method could be adjusted and c~xpandQd
to solve your current file Problems.)
• •
9. What nrs the parameters re®arding files folders, numeric versus
alpha codes; must we use ex i st:i ng supplies, wi l l new fol dears,
coded labels, etc. be ordered to accommodate a new system.
10. Is there a budget figure set for purchase of supply items?
fihould supplies be included in the estimate?
In order to get an~awers to theses questions, and in an effort to
expedite the time required to research your projects I would
appreciate an opportunity to visit with you in your office. If
after our meeting you wish mea to continue further research on
your project, I would like to meet with the appropriate depart-
ment heads as a group for further discussion.
I look forward to meeting with you. Anita DuPont & Associates is

Re: File Reorganization - Centralized Filing System
City of La Porte
Dear Mrs. DuPont:
In response to your letter concerning the file reorganization
within our Municipality, the following answers indicate what topics
should be addressed in contemplating this rennovation.
1. Question: Do you want a decentralized or controlled filing
system?
Response: A centralized filing system would be most adequate
for the City's needs. The system will be security controlled
with, hopefully, a file clerk on duty to act as a records
management specialist.
2. Question: In either a decentralized or controlled system, it
is necessary to know how all the departments currently
interface.
Response: Your firm will be given time to interview each
department head as to their filing needs. Laura Hall and
Cherie Black will be available to assist you in interfacing
their needs to accommodate a central filing system.
3. Question: Will we have access to all department files in
order to create a standardized system?
Response: DuPont and Associates will have access to all
department files with the exceptions of possibly Public Works,
Fire Department and Police~Department. Those departments will
probably be interfaced at a later time.
•
Anita DuPont & Associates

•
4. Question: If you want a system that is controlled and secure,
will there be a central file room with a file clerk?
Response: There is currently a central file room and we
anticipate monies being available to add a file clerk to our
staff when the new system is completed.
5. Question: What capabilities do your various computer
applications currently offer?
Response: Our computer system currently offers a software
package for creating an automated filing system. All
departments are using this capability in creating and
maintaining their files. Files may be indexed by drawers,
folders, and documents within the folders. Our computer
coordinator will be happy to assist you in further researching
these capabilities.
6. Question: Is there a current index of all files that are to
be reorganized?
Response: There is no current system of indexing all files
that are to be reorganized.
7. Question: How many of these files are currently managed on
your computers?
Response: The only files managed on computer are "personal
files" developed by each department within the past 18 months.
The City does, however, have a comprehensive system within our
accounting, tax, and utility billing departments. Perhaps
your firm can acquire some ideas about the centralized filing
system through these departments.
8. Question: Are there samples of existing filing systems? (It
is possible that an existing method could be adjusted and
expanded to solve your current file problems.)
Response: We would be happy for you to view the current "on
line" computerized filing systems in each department such as
they are. Perhaps ideas could derived from viewing these
systems.
•
Anita DuPont & Associates
February 4, 1985, Page 3
9. Question: What are the parameters regarding file folders,
numeric versus alpha codes; must we use existing supplies,
will new folders, coded labels, etc. be ordered to accommodate
a new system?
Response: Proper supplies will be ordered to accommodate the
needs of your organization in creating a suitable filing
system. We do however, request that the existing lateral
filing cabinets be utilized.
10. Question: Is there a budget figure set for purchase of supply
items? Should supplies be included in the estimate?
Response: Supplies should not be included in the estimate of
the work involved in the actual centralized filing system
reorganization. All supplies will be ordered through the
City's purchasing department through the bid process. The
contract will be given to the lowest bidder who can meet the
specifications of the purchase.
We sincerely hope that these responses will be helpful in
researching alternatives for this project. We look forward to
working with your firm in the near future and feel confident that
your company offers experienced and talented administrative
specialists who will accommodate our needs.
Should you have questions concerning this information, please do
not hesitate to contact us. See you on February 13th!
Sincerely,
Laura L. Hall

Dear Mr. Owen:
Anita Dupont ~ Associates was contracted by Allied Bank of Texas to create
an archiving system for our Trust Department. Mrs. Dupont was responsible
for designing the system, writing the procedures and implementing the new
system. She also trained the Trust Department staff to use the new
system.
Mrs. Dupont was ideal for the task and spent considerable time getting
to know the Trust Department and determining the needs of the staff so
that the system would adequately meet our needs now and in the future.
Mrs. Dupont communicated and worked well with the people in the Trust
Department.
She is reliable, cooperative, knowledgeable and effective. As a result
of her fine performance on the archiving system we subsequently
contracted Anita Dupont & Assoiciates to handle various other management
projects ranging from a complicated department relocation to designing and
implementing a sophisticated word processing system.
We find Mrs. Dupont handles any challenge with enthusiasm,
resourcefulness, honesty and industry. Allied Bank of Texas has found
Mrs. Dupont and her staff to be very qualified and highly recommend her.

We worked closely with Anita DuPont during the past
December and January for the purpose of both converting
our 126,000 current medical records files from a straight
numerical system to a terminal digit system, and of
moving the current and old files from our old facility
to the new one. Anita did a considerable amount of
research into the terminal digit system, and ascertained
it to be the appropriate system for us. This was a good
decision, and the system is working well. Anita also
planned the logistics of moving our files in such a way
as to insure no interruptions in the flow of charts
from Medical Records to the physicians. Anita completed
these jobs in a timely fashion.
In all of my dealings with Anita, I have found her to
be very professional and intelligent. She assesses
situations accurately and possesses good insight into
people, as well as, office procedures. I would highly
recommend utilizing Anita's consulting services.

CITY OF LA PORTS, TEXAS
CENTRALIZED FILING SYSTEM STUDY
APRIL 22, 1985
OBJECTIVE: To conduct a study to determine the problems
with the existing central filing system and
to make recommendations for the reorgan-
ization of that system and/or redesign of the
system.
OBJECTIVES ACCOMPLISHED BY:
Conducting interviews with department
representatives to determine how the files
are currently used; who uses them, how
many duplicate files are maintained in the
departments due to having inadequate
central files; how would they like to see
the system changed.
Researching the existing files to see how
they are set up and how accessible they
are. ..
Assemble data, prepare analysis, and make
appropriate recommendations.
GENERAL DATA: The following information was gathered as
a result of several meetings held with
Department Heads and with various other
representatives from each department in the
City of LaPorte. This data reflects comments
made by the participants in these meetings as
well as research done about the files:
Current general records are filed in your central file room in
order by category and then in alphabetical order by file.
The files stored in your vault are mixed media files stored by
category in specific areas of the vault and on open shelves.
i. e. Ordinances are filed in large binders in order by ordinance
number, the meeting minutes are filed in large books in
chronologic order and deeds and contracts are filed in boxes in
al habetical order by contract name or subject name. The method
P
in which contracts and deeds are filed is subject to
interpretation and many times it is necessary to look in several
places before locating the item. Additionally, they are not
necessarily in alphabetical order making it necessary to go
• •
Enclosure 1
Page 2
through several boxes of records before locating the item you
need. The Meeting Minutes are not cross-referenced making it
necessary to search through numerous minutes books to find the
reference material you require. The vault contains items that do
not Wend to be stored in a security area.
Current File Checkout: When someone wants a file from
central file, it is found pretty much by a "hunt and peck"
system. The person usually trys to go to the different file
areas and find the material themselves. If they are unsucessful
in finding it in the central files, they go to each department to
see if anyone has a duplicate file. If this search fails to
produce the file, they go to Cherie Black or Laura Hall who go
through each file individually until they find the missing
information.
~Du~ _l__i_~cate Files Within the Departments: There are numerous cases
~plicat~iles in the departments, they all feel
if they put their copy in central files they will not be
able to retrieve it. Only a few people use the current central
filing system because it is too time consuming and frustrating to
try to retrieve from it.
Cross-References: A number of your departments need. to
cross-re erence material from other departments. Even with the
new computer system you are putting in place, the files as they
are currently organized will not provide this flexibility.
I11-Defined Categories: There are, currently, no written
procedures for setting up files either iri the departments or in
central files. There are no guidelines for establishing
categories, what each category represents -- what files should go
in them.
~P~u~r~in Central Files: Many of the existing files are very
out 3ate~and shou~be purged and put in outside storage or
destroyed. This determination should be based on criterion set
forth in your City Charter and Home Rules and based on any other
official retention requirements that apply.
E ui ment: The equipment you currently have, with some minor
a justmerit~s, will accommodate any new system you might use.
For the most part, the employees I interviewed don't know what is
in the central file room and additionally, they find the existing
• •
Enclosure 1
Page 3
system inadequate, ambiguous, outdated and too much trouble•
to use.
A Central File Room should serve the needs of all the departments
and it should be organized such that the files are filed in a
logical sequence in a functional and efficient system so that
retrieval can be accomplished by anyone.
ANALYSIS:
After reviewing the comments from your employees and based on my
own observations, you do not currently have a Centeral Files ---
you have a central storage area (both in your central file room
and in your vault). There are numerous files that should be in
the Central files so they can be shared. i.e. City Fire
Marshall's Reports would be of value to the Public Works
Department so that they could review the list of businesses for
reviewing their own permits, water useage, etc. Also, access to
fire reports would be helpful to Public Works in compiling their
water consumption reports (with the time and location of the fire
they could compare the water used during the fire against the
water consumed at that location for the month). Project reports
should be issued names and numbers from a central listing so that
when they progress through all the different departments they are
always identified in the same way. i.e. If engineering starts a
project, it is given a name and a number; but when it progresses
over to another department, it is given a different name and a
new number --- thus eliminating any way to cross-reference the
material at a later time if you do not krsow all the different
names and numbers.
Procedures should be used City wide to instruct the departments
how their basic files should be set up and indexed in the
computer so that whether a file is in the central files are in
departmental files they can be accessible as needed.
The procedure should be written to allow the necessary latitude
for creating files specific to a department and to accommodate
the necessary confidentiality factor.
Your vault is currently used as a storage area, not a security
file room. In addition to the records which should be stored in
the vault, it is used as a storage room for old equipment, boxes
of unidentified files, old records from areas that were annexed
by LaPorte, and public domain files that are stored there because
no one seems to know where else to put them.
All of your existing records, whether in central files or in the
• •
Enclosure 1
Page 4
vault, should be purged; current data kept in central files and
legitimate files that need to be secured should be kept in~the
vault; all other files should be archived in outside storage or
destroyed. Permanent files should be filmed with the film being
kept in-house and the records going to outside storage or film
the records and destroy the hard copy. Filming is particularly
necessary in the case of the very old records dating back to the
1800's, after the records have been filmed the original documents
should be stored in a controlled environment and if at all
possible should be displayed for their public historical value.
A central file system needs to be designed which will provide an
efficient and accessible method for storing your immediate past
year and your current year in-house, then an archive system
should be created to adequately organize your old records so that
they can be indexed and stored in an accessible and controlled
outside storage area
The City of LaPorte appears to be suffering from the normal
strains experienced due to very fast growth. You need to do some
serious evaluation of how you want to use a central file room.
You then need to have a system designed and set up that is
productive and time efficient and that will meet your current and
future needs. If your system were more streamlined and updated,
it would be easier for your employees to locate the files and
would prevent costly employee time misuse.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
EQUIPMENT:
Use lateral files or open lateral shelving.
Use legal size lateral end tab file folders and file pockets
Use color coded numerals, alphas and color bars.
REDESIGNED FILE SYSTEM:
Redefine and if necessary change categories to make them
more logical and more appropriate for your needs. Standard-
ize central and departmental file categories as much as
possible. Specifically list and define the files that
should appear under each category.
Go through each file and read it --- combine, purge, store,
or destroy appropriate files. Reorganize under correct
category.
• •
Enclosure 1
Page 5
Use a simple direct numeric system, i.e. 1 through 20,000.
By numbering your files in direct numeric sequence, you can
always add to the end of your files instead of having to
allow expansion in the middle or constantly rearranging
the shelves and drawers.
When appropriate, use color coded bars to designate the file
category or perhaps the cross-reference for the file.
Index the files in your computer or word processor and have
an alpha and a numeric print-out for easy location of files.
