On June 23, 1987 (M&C C-10370), City Council approved a Community Facilities
Agreement, City Secretary Contract No. 15796, with the White Settlement
Independent School District (WSISD). This contract was subsequently amended by
M&C C-10481 approved by City Council on August 25, 1987. The amended contract,
City Secretary Contract No. 16260, provided for the installation of off-site
drainage improvements within George Markos Park at City expense. The contract
also provided for the installation of on-site drainage improvements on property
being developed by WSISD.
WSISD prepared plans and specifications for its on-site drainage improvements
which were subsequently approved by the City. WSISD requested that its on-site
project be included with the City's project as a separate unit when the City
advertised for bids for the improvements within George Markos Park. Furthermore,
WSISD agreed to prepay its share of the construction cost prior to contract
award by the City.
RECEIPT OF BIDS:
Bids for the joint project were received October 17, 1991, after being
advertised on September 26, 1991 and October 3, 1991, with sixty (60) working
days allotted for the Base Bid, forty-eight (48) working days for Alternative
No. 1, and thirty-six (36) working 'days for Alternative No. 2. It was the
staff's intention to award the contract to the overall low bidder for the two
units. The bids are tabulated as follows:

Since the combined low bid far exceeded the engineer's estimate of probable
cost, staff recommends that it would be in the overall best interest of the City
and WSISD to reject all bids and to readvertise the project with the stipulation
that the City reserves the right to award separate contracts to the individual
low bidders of Units I and II. WSISD supports this recommendation and has
indicated that it budgeted only $90,000.00 for its share of the project (Unit
I) and cannot afford to pay the $151,798.50 bid for Unit I by the combined low
bidder, Architectural Utilities, Inc. In addition, City funds set aside for Unit
II are not sufficient to cover the low bid for Unit II. Furthermore, staff will
direct WSISD's engineer to significantly modify the plans and specifications so
as to bring the cost of the two units within available funds.

CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A PETROLEUM CONTAMINATED SOIL
RECLAMATION FACILITY
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a
lease with Soil Purification of Texas, Inc., a Fort Worth firm, for a period of
10 years with two (2) five-year renewal options for the construction and
operation of a petroleum -contaminated soil reclamation facility on City owned
property.
DISCUSSION:
In an effort to establish a cost effective and environmentally sound method of
treating soils contaminated with petroleum products, staff developed a request
for proposal for the construction and operation of a thermal desorption unit.
Eight proposals were submitted and reviewed by a committee appointed by the
Director of the Environmental, Management Office.: The committee provided
recommendations from which Soil Purification of Texas, Inc., (SPTI) was formed
by joint venture of Emtech Environmental Services, Inc., of Fort Worth and Soil
Purification, Inc., of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Staff has negotiated with SPTI
to lease 2-1/2 - 3 acres of City property for 10 years with two (2) five year
options to renew for $1.2 million total or $60,000/year. The firm has agreed
to pay to the City an additional per tonnage fee for processing outside soils
as follows:
30,001 - 60,000 $2.00/ton
60,001 - 70,000 $2.50/ton
70,001 - 80,000 $3.00/ton
80,0001 and up $4.00/ton
The firm will process City soil contaminated with petroleum products at
$45.00/ton. The City will utilize its decontaminated material for fill or other
usage at no additional cost. In addition, the firm will sell treated material
from outside entities to the City for $2.00/ton.
The facility will be constructed in K -Heavy Industrial zoning located at 3000
Bolt Street. Existing facilities include a police substation, City tire shop
and Fire supply. In the opinion of staff, the facility is compatible with the
surrounding K -Heavy Industrial zoning. The firm must obtain a special exception
from the Zoning Board of Adjustment in order to operate the facility. Staff
believes this site will not have any negative impact on the surrounding property
or neighborhoods. Prior to construction, the firm will be required to obtain
any permits necessary from local, state and federal agencies (at no cost to the

DISCUSSION_
Diamond Hill Community Health Clinic, Inc., is a not-for-profit corporation
established to provide a neighborhood health clinic to serve the Diamond Hill
Target Area. A total of $400,000.00 was approved in the Year XVI Community
Development Block Grant budget for a community facility in the Diamond Hill
Area. The residents of Diamond Hill subsequently determined a need for a
primary health care facility in their area. The initial contract, in the amount
of $31,000.00, will be for an architectural study that will review the needs of
the proposed clinic, look at available buildings in the project area, and
develop comparative cost estimates for rehabilitation and renovation and for new
construction. The performance period will be November 1, 1991 through January
31, 1992.
Once this architectural work is completed, Council will be presented with a
second contract, in the amount of $369,000.00, for the actual rehabilitation and
renovation or construction of the health clinic, with a proposed contract period
of February 1, 1992 through July 31,;1992.
Diamond Hill Community Health Clinic, Inc., has applied for a Community Health
Center grant from the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services to furnish
the clinic and provide first year operating funds; a decision on this grant
should be made by the end of October, 1991. In addition, the Tarrant County
Commissioners Court has approved $329,789.00 in the 1991-1992 Hospital District
budget for a clinic in the northwest quadrant of Tarrant County. The service
area that the clinic will serve is currently being evaluated by the Texas
Department of Health for designation as -a medically underserved area due to a
health staff shortage, with a determination of these findings due in October,
1991.
The Community Development Council approved this project during their meeting of
October 14, 1991. The Community Development Council will review the results of
the architectural study prior to the presentation of the contract for
rehabilitation and renovation or new construction.
The project will be in Council DISTRICT 2.i
