CODE TO ADD SECTION 14-34, ESTABLISHING A MONTHLY ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION FEE
Minutes of City Council T-3 Page 210
M&C G-9454 cont.
Tuesday, January 7, 1992
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance amending
Chapter 14, "Garbage", of the Code of the City of Fort Worth, Texas (1986), as
amended, by adding a new Section 14-34, "Environmental Protection Fee", which
establishes a monthly environmental protection fee of fifty cents ($0.50) which
shall be added to the water bills of all customers in the City of Fort Worth.
DISCUSSION:
The increasing proliferation of federal and state environmental laws and
regulations have created an increasing financial burden for local governments,
including the City of Fort Worth.
One of the cost elements of these environment clean-up and protection measures
is the disposal of solid waste generated thereby. The Texas Health and Safety
Code Annotated Section 364.034 authorizes the imposition of a fee for solid
waste disposal services by a city. The attached ordinance would establish a
separate fee of fifty cents per month to be included on monthly water bills as
a separate line item entitled "Environmental Protection Fee".
It is estimated that this environmental protection fee will generate
approximately $449,344 annually. The fees collected shall be placed into the
general fund of the City of Fort Worth. It is estimated that the City of Fort
Worth has incurred the following costs for solid waste disposal services
connected with environmental clean-up and protection activities in the following
amounts for recent fiscal years:
211.
1989 $225,281
1990 $348,847
1991 $879,523
It is anticipated that the City's costs for the solid waste disposal services
for fiscal year 1991-92 will equal or exceed the costs incurred for recent
years. Therefore, the amount collected pursuant to this ordinance will only
partially defray the City's costs connected with the services.

payment to Maxim There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9459 from the City.Manager,
Engineers, Inc. and to as follows:
EmTech Environmental SUBJECT: PAYMENT TO MAXIM ENGINEERS, INC. AND EMTECH ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES,
Services INC. FOR THE EMERGENCY REMOVAL OF ASBESTOS WITHIN THE BOILER ROOM
AT THE FORT WORTH MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND HISTORY
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the following action:
1. To allow the City Manager, upon receipt of appropriate invoices, to
execute payment not to exceed $3,780.00 to Maxim Engineers, Inc. for air
monitor services, and $30,522.00 to EmTech Environmental Services for the
removal of asbestos containing material within the boiler room at the Fort
Worth Museum of Science and History.
DISCUSSION:
On September 5, 1991, the Environmental Management Office was requested to
develop a plan of action for the removal of asbestos containing material (ACM)
within the boiler room at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. The
removal of this material was required in that the existing boiler had cracked
and was in need of total replacement. Replacement of the museum boiler and re -
insulation of the room with non ACM is being financed through the usage of
museum funds. Since the removal of the existing ACM under Volume 40 Code of
Federal Regulations part 61.145 had not been anticipated by museum staff,
requests were made to the City to aid in the removal of the material.
In order to save time and thus protect the safety and welfare of the public and
employees, competitive bidding was waived. Following the sampling of the
material present and the receipt of analytical results, Maxim Engineers was
retained to develop specifications for the removal of the ACM. Following
receipt of the specifications by City staff, a copy was forwarded to EmTech
Environmental Services, Inc., for the removal process. Maxim was retained to
perform industrial hygiene work for the project. Both companies have previously
performed similar work and the City staff is familiar with their ability. All
costs have been reviewed and are believed to be fair. It is therefore
recommended that the aforementioned payments be approved.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Fiscal Services certifies that funds required for this
expenditure are available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of
the General Fund.

purchase from Tel-
as follows•
Star, Inc.
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF A FUEL MONITOR/FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FROM TEL -STAR,
INC.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the purchase of a fuel
monitor/fuel management system from Tel -Star, Inc., for the bid price of
$139,500.00; plus, $64,396.00 for a five-year term maintenance contract on both
hardware and software. Maintenance contract to commence following the two-year
warranty period and to be paid in annual increments of $12,879.20 upon
commencement.
BID TABULATION:
CHENCO Bid is non-responsive. Maintenance is available only on a time
and materials basis at the then prevailing rates. Mainframe
connection is uncertain. Required equipment was bid as optional,
extra cost, items. Additional site cost, future expansion, is
prohibitively high.
Seven year price is: $ 94,653.00
WARD Bid is non-responsive. Access device encoding was required, it is
stated as available but not bid. Bid request was for turnkey
system, WARD requires progress billing. Physical tank monitor
connection is not bid and left open ended. Software maintenance
beyond the warranty period is not specified.
Seven year price is $196,594.00
This assumes a 7.5% annual maintenance contract increase.
Seven year price is $202,621.00
This assumes a 10% annual maintenance contract increase. This is the maximum
annual increase specified in the bid.
STOVALL Bid is non-responsive. Mainframe interface is not addressed.
Tank monitor interface is not available, not bid. Will be
available later as an add-on. Maintenance is extremely high.
There is no cap on annual maintenance increases. Setup and
training is bid but training is not spelled out.
Seven year price is: .$321,415.00
This assumes no increase in annual maintenance contracts.
TEL -STAR Response is complete..
Seven year price is: $203,000.00
TRAK Response is complete. In addition to high initial costs, the cost
of adding new sites is prohibitively high under this system...
Seven year cost is: $280,901.00
The bid was mailed to thirteen potential bidders and was advertised in the Fort
Worth Star -Telegram on July 18 and 25, 1991.
DISCUSSION:
The current fuel monitor/fuel management system is obsolete. The original
vendor is out of business. It is difficult and expensive to find parts and to
maintain. The system is unresponsive to our current needs and cannot be
upgraded or modified.
The new fuel monitor/fuel management system from Tel -Star, Inc. is a PC-based
system with individual controls on each pump. Therefore, if one of the pumps
goes down, the rest of the fueling site remains operational. Under the current
system, if one of the pumps fails, the entire fueling site becomes non -

operational until the system is repaired. Another advantage to the Tel -Star
system is its expendability to currently off-line sites at a reasonable cost.
For approximately $3,000 per site, the fuel management system can be expanded
to an additional 99 sites. In addition, because the system is PC-based, it can
be maintained and repaired by the City once the warranty and maintenance
contract periods have expired.
Finally, one of the bid requirements for the new system was the placing of all
computer codes in escrow for the City of Fort Worth. This was done to insure
that, if necessary, we could take over the maintenance and upgrading of the
software in the event of non-compliance, or disappearance, of the vendor. This
will protect the City from obsolescence of the system whether the vendor
maintains it or we maintain it ourselves. The selected 'system is based on
current, extremely widespread, technology. These systems (PC's) are not going
to disappear.
The firm Tel -Star has complied with the City's DBE policy.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Fiscal Services certifies that funds required for this contract
are available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Equipment
Services Operating Fund.
It was the consensus of the City Council that the recommendation, as contained in Mayor and
Council Communication No. P-5412, be adopted.

Annexation of Certain as follows:
Tracts of Land for
the Green Oaks Boule- SUBJECT: ANNEXATVON OF CERTAIN TRACTS OF LAND FOR THE GREEN OAKS BOULEVARD
vard P.A.S.S. Project P.A.S.S. PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:
1. It is recommended that the City Council find that the inclusion of these
tracts for the Green Oaks Boulevard PASS Project into the corporate limits
of the City of Fort Worth will cause the unincorporated area shown on
Exhibit "A" attached hereto, to be entirely surrounded by the City of Fort
Worth, and that the surrounding of said unincorporated areas is, and is
hereby found to be, in the public interest, and
2. It is also recommended that the City Council approve the attached
annexation timetable in order to annex the subject tracts in compliance
with the requirements of Section 43.052 of the Local Governmental Code of
the State of Texas.
DISCUSSION:
Mr. Gary Santerre, Director, Transportation and Public Works, acting on behalf
of the City of Fort Worth, has requested annexation of several tracts of land
south of Meadowbrook Drive and east of Cooks Lane. These tracts will be
utilized as right-of-way for the proposed Green Oaks Boulevard Arterial Street
Project. The total area being considered for annexation is approximately 23.36
acres. All tracts are owned by the City of Fort Worth as rights-of-way. All
properties are currently within the exclusive ETJ of the City of Fort Worth and
no common boundary adjustments with other cities is required. There are no
residences located on the subject tracts.
The annexation of these tracts for the Green Oaks Boulevard PASS Project will
cause certain unincorporated areas to be entirely surrounded by the City of Fort
Worth, but will not include these unincorporated areas within the City. Section
43.057 of the Local Government Code specifically provides that:
"If a proposed annexation would cause an area to be entirely surrounded
by the annexing municipality but would not include the area within the
municipality, the governing body of the municipality must find, before
completing the annexation, that surrounding the area is in the public
interest."
The City staff has investigated the proposed annexation and recommends that
surrounding the above described areas is in the public interest. The
Development Review Committee recommended approval of this proposed annexation
on October 24, 1991. The Plan Commission recommended approval of the annexation
request on October 30, 1991.
Location: The subject tracts are situated south of Meadowbrook Drive, east of
Cooks Lane and north of E. Lancaster (Highway 80). If annexed, the tracts would
become a part of City Council DISTRICT 4.

as contained in Mayor and Council Communication No. L-10802, was adopted.
