DISCUSSION:
Arlington Heights Neighborhood Association, with the approval of
all abutting property owners, has requested that the City allow
physical closure of the subject streets, shown on the attached
maps.
The subject street rights-of-way, acquired by dedication, are open
on the ground and contain utility facilities. The utility
providers, responsible for maintenance of the utility facilities,
have requested that access be provided for the purpose of
maintaining these utility facilities.
It is the opinion of the Real Property Department that the interest
of the City in the subject streets described in this physical
closure request will be satisfied with a payment of a $1.00
consideration fee.
Reviewing City departments and private utility companies have
raised no objection to this request, provided that the subject
streets are physically closed and that access to the physically
closed portion of the streets is provided at all times to all
emergency and City maintenance vehicles for the purpose of
maintaining the streets and for emergency access.
The City Planning Commission has reviewed this request and
recommends that the subject streets be physically closed as
requested by the applicants.
Mr. Joe Bilardi, Director of the Development Department, appeared before the
City Council and advised the City Council that the request for the physical closure of
streets in the Chamberlain Arlington Heights Addition was generated by the homeowners
association to restrict non-resident vehicular traffic coming from the freeway frontage
road and in order for the Highway Department to be able to include the necessary
curbing to close off the streets.
On motion of Council Member Murrin, seconded by Council Member Chappell, the
recommendation, as contained in Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8217, was
adopted.
Council Member Murrin introduced a resolution and made a motion that it be
adopted. The motion was seconded by Council Member Chappell. The motion, carrying
with it the adoption of said resolution, prevailed by the following vote:

DISCUSSION:
The implementation of the latest purchasing procedures allowed the
various City departments greater flexibility in handling the
purchases of lower dollar repair services, those $250.00 or less.
However, it is not always practical nor dollar efficient to obtain
three competitive bids. For example, it is not practical to carry
a transmission to three vendors who would have to disassemble the
transmission to determine failed components and the repair cost.
Also, most vendors would assess a tear down and reassembly fee.
Therefore, the rotating vendor list was devised. The first job
would be assigned to the first vendor, the second to vendor number
(2) two, and so on until the list has been completed an then start
with number one again. The vendor list could change as qualified
local vendors request to be added and as vendors change operations
to delete some services or cease business operations. The
purchases of less than $50.00 will be paid by a P.I.P. form,
purchases of more than $50.00 but less than $250.00 per line will
be paid on a local purchase order (L.P.O.). The intent of the
rotating vendor list is to utilize multiple local vendors, expedite
repairs and maintain standard procedures on purchases of $250.00 or
less. However, occasionally the repair will exceed the $250.00
limit for the Local Purchase Order. When that occurs, the division
head will submit a requisition to the Purchasing Division
requesting a confirming purchase order be issued for the purchase.
The requesting department is responsible for following the list,
with an employee assigned to log the expenditures and assign the
next vendor. Their knowledge and expertise will be utilized to
determine the repairs and estimated cost. If the repairs are
extensive and would violate the intent of the procedure, the
requesting department will not use the vendor list but submit a
requisition to the Purchasing Division to obtain bids for the
purchase.- Since three bids are not taken for each purchase, it is
requested that the Council authorize the use of the rotating vendor
program for these purchases.
FINANCING:
Budgeted funds are sufficient to cover the anticipated expenditure
by each department participating in this agreement. All purchase
orders issued against this agreement will be reviewed by Purchasing
for sufficiency of funds prior to release.
It was the consensus of the City Council that the recommendation, as contained in Mayor
and Council Communication No. P-3702, be adopted.
There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. P-3703 from the City
Manager submitting a tabulation of bids received for a purchase agreement to supply

There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. C-11874 from the City
Manager, as follows:
SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES TO CONVERT
MAINFRAME PAVER TO MICRO PAVER
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager
to execute a contract with Texas A&M Research Foundation to perform
Minutes of City Council N-3 Page 64
M&C C-11874 cont.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1989
the engineering services required to convert Mainframe PAVER to
Micro PAVER for a fee not to exceed $30,000.
DISCUSSION:
In August of 1985 Street Division initiated the PAVER Pavement
Management System (PMS). This is a mainframe based computer
program designed to hold and sort information concerning Fort
Worth's roadway infrastructure. The mainframe computer is
currently located in Kansas City, Missouri, and is operated by
Power Computing. In 1985, the system was operated from a computer
located in Seattle, Washington by the Boeing Company. It costs
approximately $30,000 a year to access this mainframe computer
through a timesharing network. In June of this year, Street
Division was notified that the mainframe timesharing charges would
increase by 40% effective July 1, 1989.
In 1985, when the PAVER program was first initiated, micro
computers did not have the capability to store the size of database
required for an infrastructure the size of Fort Worth's. Since
that time the mainframe PAVER programs have been re -written for
utilization on micro computers. Also personal computer technology
has expanded to a degree where it is possible to maintain a
database the size of Fort Worth's on a micro computer.
It is expected that the engineering services required to download
and configure current programs into a system compatible with micro
PAVER will cost approximately $30,000. Hardware required to run
micro PAVER and its associated programs will cost an additional
$12,500. These costs are equivalent to a one year expenditure for
timesharing charges based on the new rates. Micro PAVER and its
associated programs will be run by City of Fort Worth personnel.
SELECTION OF ENGINEER:
The PAVER Pavement Management System was developed by the United
States Army Corps of Engineers Research Laboratory. The rights to
the program for the public sector were purchased by the American
Public Works Association. In 1985 the City of Fort Worth
contracted with ERES Consultants, Incorporated of Champagne,
Illinois, to implement the PAVER (PMS) program in the City of Fort
Worth.
Individuals at Texas A&M Research Foundation were involved in the
development of the PAVER program, its transfer to the American
Public Works Association in the mainframe mode and the development
of micro PAVER. They worked with the City of Fort Worth in
implementing the PAVER operation. Since these individuals were
involved with the implementation of the PAVER system for the City
of Fort Worth, they are very familiar with our needs and
requirements. In May of this year the Texas A&M Research Foundation
submitted a proposal to provide all services required to convert
mainframe PAVER to micro PAVER for the City of Fort Worth. Street
Division believes it is in the best interest of the City of Fort
Worth to contract with the Texas A&M Research Foundation to affect
the conversion. '

Northpass Freeway (SH 170) from IH -35W westward across Eagle Mountain Lake to State
Highway 199, and the interrelationships between existing and proposed interchanges and
frontage roads along IH -35W; that the contract was not to exceed $352,399.00; that the
third study of the IH -35W Corridor, however, is requiring considerably more work than
either the City staff or the consultant had anticipated; that, during the course of the
study, the consultant's work has had to be revised many times to reflect new traffic
projections, modified ramp configurations, interchange relocations, alternative
interchange designs, comments from various State Highway Department offices, additional
public meetings, etc.; that the additional cost to complete the IH -35W schematic

vicinity of Litsey Road, will require the same degree of analyses that was undertaken
for the Alliance Boulevard, Nat Gibbs Road, and Eagle Parkway interchanges before the
City can make a recommendation to the State Highway Department; that, since Freese and
Nichols is performing the original analyses, that firm is in the best position to
extend the IH -35W schematic drawing to include the Litsey Road interchange; that Freese
and Nichols' proposal for this aspect of the study is $26,120.00 for a total cost of
$158,818.00; and recommending that the City Manager be authorized to execute an
amendment to City Secretary Contract No. 16264 with the firm of Freese and Nichols,
Inc., to perform additional engineering services in connection with the IH -35W
Corridor Studies for an additional fee not to exceed $158,818.00, bringing the total
fee to be paid under the contract to an amount not to exceed $511,217.00; and
recommending that a bond fund transfer in the amount of $1583,818.00 be authorized from

that the recommendations be adopted.
There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. C-11876 from the City
Manager stating that a contract with the consulting firm of Ned K. Burleson &
Associates, Inc., was awarded on March 1, 1988, by Mayor and Council Communication
No. C-18023 to undertake an environmental assessment of proposed highway related
improvements along IH -35W from State Highway 114 in Denton County to the proposed
Northpass Freeway (State Highway 170) in Tarrant County; that, subsequently, an
amendment to the contract was authorized by Mayor and Council Communication
No. C-11673, May 30, 1989, to reflect changes in the study criteria as furnished by the
State Department of Highways and Public Transportation; that the interchanges are
required to support the movement of vehicular traffic into and out of the Alliance
Airport and adjacent developments; that the environmental assessment report is
substantially complete; that the proposed new interchange will require the same degree
of analysis that was undertaken for the Alliance Boulevard and Eagle Parkway
interchanges in order for the City to be able to make a recommendation to the SDHPT;
that, inasmuch as Ned K. Burleson & Associates performed the basic environmental
analysis, and the firm is in the best position to extend the environmental assessment
to include the proposed new interchange, the consultant proposes to perform the
additional work for a lump sum fee of $16,080.00; and recommending that the City
Manager be authorized to execute an amendment to City Secretary Contract No. 16286, as
amended, with Ned K. Burleson & Associates, Inc., for additional services in connection
with the environmental assessment of highway improvements on IH -35W from State
Highway 114 to State Highway 170, increasing the consultant's fee by $15,080.00, and

Manager stating that efforts to reduce the number of tuberculosis cases have
intensified, increasing the number of field visits to 2,085 and home visits to 15,640
annually; that this increase in program activity has produced more records
necessitating an improved filing system; that the new system will be composed of
rotating file cabinets which will enable transition of the present records system to a
color -coded numerical filing system which will make possible an efficient transfer and
retrieval system for all records in the program; that Council approved the execution of
a Texas Department of Health Change No. 6, Attachment No. 09B on August 8, 1989; that
the budget shown on the Mayor and Council Communication was typed incorrectly; and
recommending that the City Manager be authorized to execute Texas Department of Health

Manager, as follows:
SUBJECT: ENGINEERING CONTRACT WITH ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGERS, INC.
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CITY'S UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK
PROGRAM
Minutes of City Council N-3 Page 66
M&C C111879ccont.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1989
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the transfer of $346,000 from the Capital Projects
Reserve Fund 10, Project No. 010001-00 Unspecified, to
Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund 35, Project
No. 021100-00, Underground Storage Tanks; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute an engineering contract
with Environmental Managers, Inc. (EMI), a local firm, for the
development of the City's Underground Storage Tank Program for
a cost not to exceed $346,000.
NEED FOR A CONSULTING FIRM:
The attached I.R. was presented to Council on March 7, 1989
outlining the requirements which the Texas Water Commission (TWC)
and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have adopted addressing
Underground Storage Tanks (USTs). Because of the extent and
complexity of complying with the regulations, it was recommended to
and supported by Council that staff develop a request for proposal
(RFP) to obtain an outside engineering and consulting firm with
extensive knowledge and experience in USTs. On August 22, 1989
staff recommended an engineering firm which, based on staff's
review, submitted the proposal which best met the needs of the City.
However, Council denied the recommendation and instructed staff to
begin negations with the second firm. Based on these negations
staff has concluded the firm of Environmental Managers, Inc. (EMI)
can provide an UST program which will enable the City to comply
with the EPA and TWC regulations.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Under this contract EMI will assist the City as well as the Fort
Worth Transportation Authority in developing an Underground Storage
Tank Management Program for the 120 USTs located at 56 sites. The
scope of work will include tank inventories, soil resistivity,
development of a compliance plan, preparation of general
specifications and contract documents, and oversight of tank
remediation. In general the scope of work consists of two phases.
Phase I cost will not exceed $175,000.
Phase II involves the oversight and implementation of the tank
remediation program. The cost of Phase II shall be on the basis of
actual time -related cost equal to the total number of hours worked
on the project by each employee, multiplied by the billing rate for
each employee. The exact cost of Phase II cannot be determined at
this time. Therefore, staff is requesting an allowance of $171,000
be included in this contract.
As a result of the adoption of H.B. 1588 during the Regular Session
of the 71st Legislature, the City will most likely be able to
recover some of the costs associated with this project. This bill,
which became effective September 1, 1989, created a petroleum
storage tank remediation fund by requiring each operator of a bulk
petroleum facility to collect a fee on the removal of a petroleum
product from a bulk facility storage tank for delivery directly
into a cargo tank or a barge being transported to another location

part of the I-35 improvements, improved East Seminary Drive from
I -35W to Evans Avenue and created an additional lane on the south
side of East Seminary Drive which extends approximately 260 feet
east of Evans Avenue. The improvement by the SDHPT is an 8"
concrete pavement that is relatively new and will not be replaced.
The SDHPT also constructed new concrete curbing and three driveway
approaches within the 260 foot limit. Since these improvements are
in place and will remain so, and there was no City cost sharing
involved, the property owners for Southland Terrace Addition,
Block DR, Block 4R, Lots A and 2, were credited with those
improvements and were assessed only for the proposed improvements
to these properties under the City's standard policy. As a result,
the paving rate per foot was reduced from $51.00/FF to $7.65/FF for
Block DR and Block 4R, Lot A, and to $15.81 for 107 linear feet of
Block 4R, Lot 2.
On August 15, 1989 (M&C G-8164), the City Council awarded the
construction contract and established September 19, 1989, as the
date of the benefit hearing. Notices have been given in accordance
with Article 1105b, V.A.C.S.
This project is located in Council District No. 8.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
STREET LIMITS WIDTH/FEET ROW WIDTH/FEET

PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
It is proposed to improve East Seminary Drive by constructing a 7"
thick reinforced concrete pavement with a 7" high attached concrete
curb on a 6" cement stabilized subgrade so that the finished
roadway width will be variable on a variable right-of-way. Six
inch thick concrete driveway approaches and four inch thick
concrete sidewalks will be constructed where shown on the plans.
Appropriate storm drainage facilities will also be installed as
part of the project.
ASSFSSMFNTS
An independent appraiser has advised the staff as to the amount of
enhancement to property values that will result from the proposed
improvements.
The independent appraisal substantiates that, as a result of the
proposed construction, each parcel of adjacent property will be
enhanced in value by an amount equal to or greater than the
proposed assessment.
Based on standard city policy, the low bid prices, and the advice
of the independent appraiser, the cost to the property owners for
their share of the construction has been computed at $285,077.53
(44%) and the cost to the City for Fort Worth, at $359,062.47
(56%).
Mrs. Martha Lunday, representing the Department of Transportation and Public
Works, appeared before the City Council and gave a staff report and requested that the
