Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 030227 -1, approving Change Order No. 3 and final payment to
D & W Contractors, Inc., and accepting the 2001 Municipal Street Rehabilitation project.
Proposed Ordinance No. 030227 -1 approves Change Order No. 3 and final payment in the amount of
$32,185.66 to D & W Contractors, Inc., and accepts the 2001 Municipal Street Rehabilitation project.
The project consisted of the rehabilitation of seven local streets: Chandler, Mayhaw, Northwood,
Oakmont, Woodcrest, Lindberg, and Deanne. The type of rehabilitation ranged from hot mix asphalt
overlay to complete reinforced concrete pavement replacement, and also included minor repairs and
replacement of some inlets, curb and gutter, sidewalks, wheelchair ramps, and water lines. The contract
was in the original amount of $635,964.60. There were two prior change orders totaling $6,692.30 for
minor water line adjustments and tree removal. These change orders adjusted the contract amount to
$642,656.90 and were approved administratively. Change Order No. 3 is a balancing change order and
increases the final contract amount by $1,056.36 to $643,713.26, which represents a 0.16% cost increase.
This increase is mainly due to the final adjustment of quantities on various bid items in the contract. The
contractor finished the project in the allotted time and the workmanship was satisfactory.
Council Member Murray moved adoption of the proposed ordinance. Council Member Sheley seconded
the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council Members Anderson, Godwin, Mundinger, Murray, and Sheley.

final payment of $27,350.47 to PM Construction, and accepts the Craigmont Phase I and School Courts
Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation project. The contract was awarded to PM Construction in the original
amount of $449,476.93 and the contract duration was 90 calendar days. Change Order Nos. 1, 2, and 3
increased the contract amount by 25% and the duration by 30 calendar days for an amended contract
amount of $561,846.16 and an amended duration of 120 calendar days. These changes were made in
order to capitalize on competitive pricing. Change Order No. 4 is a balancing change order and reduces
the final contract amount by $14,836.76 to $547,009.40, which represents a 2.64% cost savings. The cost
savings was largely due to an adjustment of final quantities on various bid items. Change Order No. 4
also increases the project duration by 26 days to allow for rain days and holidays, which makes the final
contract duration 146 calendar days. The contractor finished the project in the allotted time and the
workmanship was satisfactory.

project for Kingsbend Subdivision.
Proposed Ordinance No. 030227 -3 changes the 2002 -2003 fiscal year budget to provide for inflow and
infiltration rehabilitation project for Kingsbend Subdivision. Funding is available in the current year
budget for a Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Study (SSES) in the amount of $1,200,000. The intent of the
SSES was to conduct a system wide study. Upon completion of the study, work would begin to repair the
problems with the sanitary sewer collection system. At this time, staff recommends that the more prudent
use of available funding is to begin making repairs to the sanitary sewer system. This action reprograms
the funding from the study to the repairs in Kingsbend Subdivision.

MINUTES OF THE WORK SESSION
OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN
February 27, 2003
The City Council of the City of Baytown, Texas, met in work session on February 27, 2003, at 4:35
p.m. in the Hullum Conference Room of Baytown City Hall, 2401 Market Street, Baytown, Texas,
with the following in attendance:
Coleman Godwin

Absent: Mercedes Renteria III
Council Member
The meeting was opened with a quorum present after which the following business was conducted:
Mayor Alfaro announced that the first item on the agenda would be delayed until Council Member
Anderson arrived and that the second agenda item would be considered first.
Discuss wastewater infrastructure issues and financing options.
City Manager Gary Jackson said that the wastewater system was very complex, extending from the
private line to the collection system, to the treatment plants and finally discharging the treated
effluent. It is expensive, intensive and complex, consisting of many miles and millions of dollars of
infrastructure. The components of the system may not be separated. A fourth wastewater treatment
plant is needed and it will take years to plan, bid and construct the facility and the collection lines
serving the facility.
Council Member Anderson arrived at 4:41 p.m.
Fred Pack, Director of Public Works, repeated the concerns about inflow and infiltration (I & I),
with 200 miles of deteriorating concrete pipe. Half of the I & I comes from private lines. I & I
leads to compliance issues, health concerns, exfiltration and bypassing. These are violations of state
and federal law. Recently emphasis in enforcement has shifted to the collection system. I & I in the
collection system overburdens the treatment plants. There is no room to expand the Central or East
treatment plants. The West plant has extra capacity and room to expand. Staff is working to
develop a plan without state intervention.
Gregory Stubbs, Director of Planning and Development Services, reported an increase in
permitting. As compared to 1993, the permits issued in 2002 have doubled. Single family and
commercial permits have tripled. Development causes stress on the system.
Page 2 of 3
Minutes of the Work Session — February 27, 2003
Bill Pedersen, Director of Engineering, stated that a land use plan was under development. The
land use plan is necessary to develop a capital recovery fee, or impact fee. This fee will be assessed
to developers based on the impact of the development on the capital improvements that serve the
development. After approval of the land use plan, a capital improvements plan must be developed.
Then public hearings will be held to establish the impact fees. Many projects have been approved
during the last year. Many improvements to the system have been done in recent years.
Mr. Jackson discussed the financial aspects of the infrastructure issues. The bond committee
approved $29,450,000 in projects. Baytown Area Water Authority has agreed to pay the full cost of
the second supply line to the City, saving $3,470,000 from being expended. In the 2002 -2003 fiscal
year budget, utility projects were expanded or included to increase the funding by $10,215,000.
Expanded or additional projects are now proposed in the amount of $10,832,000 to be funded
through the Texas Water Development Board and by reprogramming funding for the sanitary sewer
evaluation study to the Kingsbend sewer project. The purpose is to complete a five -year program.
This program will not address all the needs of the system, but it will allow the City time to develop
the master plan and a fifteen -year program. The fifteen -year program will be aggressive. The
system is funded through an enterprise fund. In theory it is self - supporting through the rates
charged for the water and sewer service. The base rates have not been increased. Improvement
projects have been based on increases in the 1,000 gallon rates. Wet seasons cut into sales of water
and prevent the fund from paying for the financing of the capital improvements. Currently
proposals for a rate study are being evaluated. It is staff s intention to bring a recommendation for a
rate study to Council in the near future.
Discuss realignment options for Raccoon Drive.
Mayor Alfaro stated that the options appear straight - forward. The district representative was
content with the proposal.
Update on racial profiling law and discuss the 2002 report.
Mr. Jackson commended Chief Jones and Captain Parker for their work putting together the report.
Police Chief Byron Jones stated that the report was mandated by the state legislature. Information
was required to be collected in two tiers. The first tier included race or ethnicity, whether the
person was arrested or detained, whether the person was searched and if the search was with the
person's consent. The data was collected in 2002 and must be reported to City Council by March 1,
2003. The second tier data is more involved, but is not required if each patrol unit is equipped with
a video camera.
The significant problem in preparing the report is to determine what to compare the information to.
A comparison is not required, but the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officers Standards
and Education will provide a comparison format for 2003. Certain groups urge comparison to the
Fair Roads Standard, derived from census data and households with vehicles. Other groups urge
comparison to census data, while others urge comparison to zip codes. Each comparison has its
strong and weak points. The Department decided to compare to all the standards. The information
was developed by the cooperative efforts of the Police Department, Municipal Court and
Information Technology Services. Chief Jones then reviewed the comparisons.
