Alexandra Authority
Ponders Injunction in
Building Controversy
The Alexandria Redevelopment

The Alexandria Redevelopment
and Housing Authority is con-
fronted with a new decision as
the current controversy over con-
Struction contracts enters its
seventh week.
BY January IL, authority men,
bers must make up their minds
whether to defend an Injunction
suit with which they already are
in apparent agreement.
A temporary injunction was
granted against the authority in
Alexandria Circuit Court Friday,
preventing it from giving the con-
tract for a 148-unit public hous-
ing project to the low bidder.
Victor r. Beauchamp, Inc, of
Washington.
But even before the injunction
was granted, the Alexandria
authority had decided it didn't
want to award the contract to
Beauchamp.
Housing Authority Criticized.
Attorneys for Beauchamp yes
terday said they wondered whether
the housing authority would at
tempt to defend the injunction.
They reiterated their criticism of
the housing authority's actions in
the controversy.
A spokesman for Beauchamp
said the contract should have been
awarded to that firm as the lowest
bidder as soon as bids were opened
November "a. Then the protesting
firm, Southern Iron Works Of
Alexandria, could have brought
legal action against the construc-
tion firm. The entire legal battle
would have been between Beau
champ and Southern Iron Works,
the Beauchamp lawyer said.
Instead, the complex battle has
gone this way: Southern Iron
Works, a non-union steel fabri-
Gator, protested award of any con-
tract for the housing project to
q union-Shop firm, such as Beau
champ. Southern claimed this
would violate Virginia's right to
work law and secondary boycott
provisions Of the Taft Hartley Act.
The Alexandria Housing Author
ity agreed, and decided the con-
tract should go to the second low
est bidder, Eugene Simpson & Bro.
of Alexandria. But the Public
Housing Administration rejected
this idea, insisting that the award
be made to the low bidder. PHA
must approve any contract award
by the Alexandria agency.
Still VIII Do Job.
The Beauchamp bid of $1,157,-
$40 was $62.50O below Simpsons.
Beauchamp officially Withdrew
that bid on Friday, but attorneys
said the firm still held itself ready
to do the job at the same price
provided the subcontractors would
let their bids stand.
PHA meanwhile has stated that
no bid but Beauchamp's will be
acceptable. PHA also has warned
that Alexandria stands to lose the
project unless the contract is
awarded promptly because funds
for such projects might be de-
pleted by jobs elsewhere In the
country.
PHA also is named in the in
junction suit, which was brought
by Southern Iron Works. The in
junction prevents PHA from TAX
ing any action on the bids through
January II. A PHA spokesman
said the matter had been turned
over to Justice Department at
torneys.
