improving DeCosta Avenue from Lawnwood to 750 feet south, in
Council District 8.
On September 26, 1989 (M&C G-8241), the City Council conducted a
benefit hearing for assessments for the proposed project. A

The 1986-88 CIP provides that, "The Council shall have the right to
&C G-8339 cont. abandon or modify a project if, in the Council's opinion,
conditions materially change so that the project as originally
proposed is unwise or unnecessary. In that event, the Council may
direct that the bond proceeds be expended for other projects within
the voted purpose of the bonds." The widening and paving of
DeCosta should be addressed through a standard Community Facilities
Agreement initiated by the adjacent property owners and funded from
new development bond funds. It is therefore proposed that DeCosta
be deleted from the reconstruction program.

DISCUSSION:
The 1986-88 Capital Improvement Program included funds for the
reconstruction of Bessie Street from Kentucky to E. Vickery and
Luxton Street from E. Vickery to Hattie.
In July, 1987, the Transportation and Public Works Department
received an assessment paving petition signed by 57% of the
property owners on Bessie Street from E. Vickery to Riverside
Drive. It is proposed that this section of Bessie be financed with
1986-88 CIP Undesignated Street Reconstruction Funds earmarked for
Council District No. 8.
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
This project consists of study, design, and preparation of
construction plans, specifications and contract documents for the
reconstruction of Bessie Street from Kentucky to E. Vickery, Bessie
from E. Vickery to Riverside, and Luxton from E. Vickery to Hattie.
New pavement, curb and gutter, driveway approaches, and storm
drainage inlets are planned.
In addition, a storm drainage evaluation of the watershed
intercepted by the Bessie and Luxton Street alignment will be
conducted.
The hourly rates and total fee have been reviewed by staff, and
they compare favorably to those listed in the Manual for
Professional Practices for General Engineering Services published
by the Texas Society of Professional Engineers, 1982 Edition. Any
authorized subcontract work will be charged at the actual cost of
the work plus a ten percent (10%) service charge. Staff is
proposing to utilize the firm of Garcia and Associates for
necessary engineering design services. Garcia and Associates has
proposed to perform the engineering, design, and plan preparation
necessary for construction of Bessie and Luxton Streets for a fee
based on hourly rates, with a maximum not -to -exceed fee of $40,000.
The estimated probable cost of construction is $529,000.
