the construction cost.
On February 20, 1990 (M&C G-8473), the City Council established March 20,
1990, as the date of the benefit hearing. Notices have been given in
accordance with Article 1105b, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes.
The project is located in Council District 9.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
It is proposed to improve this segment of Hawthorne Avenue by constructing
six-inch thick reinforced concrete pavement with a seven-inch high attached
concrete curb on a six-inch thick lime -stabilized subgrade so that the
finished roadway will be thirty feet wide on a sixty foot right-of-way.
Six-inch thick concrete driveway approaches will be constructed where shown
on the plans.

This street has previously been constructed to City standards and is located
in a CDBG Target Area; therefore, in accordance with the Assessment Paving
Policy, properties zoned and used for one- and two-family residences are not
being assessed.

Manager, as follows:
and certain patent
matters
SUBJECT: EMPLOYMENT OF OUTSIDE LEGAL COUNSEL TO ASSIST THE CITY ATTORNEY IN
CERTAIN PATENT MATTERS
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached Resolution increasing to $23,414.32 the total
authorized amount to be paid to Fel sman, Bradley and Gunter 'for legal
services -rendered to the City Attorney in connection with patent filings
and consultation concerning litigation over devices to measure and
collect stormwater runoff; and
2. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriations ordinance increasing
appropriations by $13,586.63 in General Fund 01, Non -Departmental
Account No. 90-55-00 and decreasing the unreserved, undesignated General
Fund 01 Fund balance by the same amount; and
3. Authorize the payment at this time of $11,086.63 to Felsman, Bradley and
Gunter for their services rendered and expenses incurred from
December 31, 1988, to January 31, 1990. The difference of $2,500.00
will be held in reserve pending final billing for completion of their
services rendered.
DISCUSSION•
On March 29, 1988, the City Council approved M&C G-7509 wherein it adopted a
resolution and a supplemental appropriation ordinance in the amount of $9,000
Minutes of City Council 0-3 Page 360
TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1990
M&C G-8525 cont. to pay for the assistance and services of a patent attorney, Mr. Bob Felsman,
to assist the City Attorney with the legal issues involved in the procurement
of patent rights for water runoff sampling devices which were created on City
time by City employees at City expense.
On December 31, 1988, the City received a statement in the amount of
$9,827.69 for Mr. Felsman's services from November 11, 1987, through
December 31, 1988. This exceeded by $827.69 the amount approved by Council.
The statement was reviewed by the City Attorney's staff, the charges were
found to be reasonable and payment was recommended.
Since the pursuit of patent rights on the initial device began, a second
device to measure and collect samples of storm water outflow was developed.
Because the initial appropriation for attorney fees did not contemplate the
discovery of the second device and attendant patent fees or the, costs of
litigation, an additional $10,000 was estimated to cover these expenses. On
February 14, 1989, the Council authorized the sum of $19,827.69 as the total
amount for attorney's fees incurred and anticipated to be incurred in regard
to the two patent applications (M&C No. G-7918). To date, only $9,827.69 has
actually been paid to Felsman, Bradley and Gunter, and the sum of $10,000.00
which was also appropriated but not expended has since "expired" with the
fiscal budget of 1988-1989.
Within the last thirty days, the U.S. Patent Office has sent written
confirmation that the first sampling device is patentable. Barring any
unforeseen problems, it appears that a U.S. Patent will be issued to the City
of Fort Worth. Although the second application has not yet been approved, it
appears that the second application should also be successful. The City
Manager's office recommends continued pursuit of both patent applications
because the devices should be marketable nationwide on a profitable basis
well above the development costs expected to be incurred.
FINANCING:
Upon adoption of the attached supplemental appropriations ordinance,
sufficient funds will be available in General Fund 01, Non -Departmental
Account No. 90-55-00, Consultant Fees. Expenditures will be made from Index
Code 328005. Thereafter, the General Fund 01 Unreserved, Undesignated fund
balance will be $27,108,122.

M&C G-8530 cont. f. the proposed apportionment of costs between the improvement
district and the City as a whole.
2. Direct the City Secretary to give notice of the public hearing in
accordance with the Public Improvement District Assessment Act,
V.T.C.A., Local Government Code Annotated, Section 372.001 et. seq., and
with the documents and information filed by the City Manager pursuant to
Paragraph 2 of the January 9, 1990, Council Resolution.
DISCUSSION:
On January 9, 1990, the City Council adopted M&C G-8405 and Resolution 1496.
This action authorized the Council to begin proceedings to consider the
establishment of Improvement District No. 3.
According to the Public Improvement District Assessment Act (V.T.C.A., Local
Government Code Annotated, Section 372.001 et.seq.), the City Council is not
authorized to consider establishment of the district until the Council has
held a public hearing regarding the matters listed above under la) through
lf).
Notice of the hearing must be published in the official newspaper of the City
and written notice must be mailed to property owners in the proposed
district.
After the hearing is adjourned, the City Council would be authorized to adopt
a resolution establishing the district.
The major issue for the proposed district is timing. The City Council is
being requested to hold the public hearing in order to show the property
owners response to their petition and continued interest in establishing a
public improvement district. However, there remains the issue of when the
district should be established.
Representatives from SENCA have requested that District No. 3 be established
effective on the earlier of:
a. The date on which the State Department of Highways and Public
Transportation (SDHPT) completes its appraisal of property within
the proposed district needed for right-of-way for the I-30 Vickery
Alternative project, or
b. Sixty (60) days after the date on which Judge Belew (Federal Court,
Northern District of Texas) signs an order releasing the SDHPT to
commence right-of-way appraisals.
This proposal was discussed with District Engineer J. R. Stone, who explained
that option "b" did not permit adequate time for the SDHPT to complete its
appraisals. He expressed support for option "a" and, in order to facilitate
the establishment of an improvement district utilizing this option, the SDHPT
District office is attempting to obtain permission from the FHWA to allow it
to expedite the appraisal process.
Minutes of City Council 0-3 Page 366
It is recommended by the City Manager that the City Council hold a public
hearing, and at a later time, adopt a resolution establishing the district
when the SDHPT completes its appraisal of property within the district for
the the I-30 Vickery Alternative project.

SUBJECT:, ALLIANCE AIRPORT, PHASE II CHANGE ORDER NO. 28 (T.L. JAMES AND
COMPANY)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Manager be authorized to execute Change Order
No. 28 to T.L. James and Company's contract for construction of Alliance
Airport, Phase II improvements in the amount of $64,431.90, increasing the
contract amount to $23,840,198.75 and 411 calender days.
DISCUSSION:
On October 25, 1988 (M&C C-11265), the City Council awarded a construction
contract to T.L. James and Company for Phase II paving, lighting, and
drainage improvements at Alliance Airport in the amount of $19,820,408.70.
This contract has been subsequently amended by Change Orders 1 through 27 so
that it currently stands at $23,775,766.85.
PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER NO. 28:
During the course of construction, it was discovered that some distances
between light bases exceeded FAA regulations. A total of 29 light bases
exceeded regulation distances. A total of 29 additional lights at a cost of
$16,122.55 was required to correct this condition. It was also discovered
that the foundation design for the light beacon tower was marginal, and this
design was changed to reflect 18 inch columns at a cost of $1,950.51. The
contractor submitted a claim for extra work for several locations where rock
was encountered in the subgrade. The City staff required that these
locations be undercut and the material replaced with high quality fill and
agrees that the claim in the amount of $36,476.84 is justified. In addition,
the contractor incurred additional insurance expense of $8,325 as a result of
the City/F.A.A. decision to open the airfield prior to completion of
construction operations. The City staff likewise agrees with this claim. An
edgelight revision at a cost of $577.00 was required due to the proximity to
the perimeter road which was designed after the airport construction began.
Minor revisions to the design of the pollution control pond hardware were
made after consultation with the contractor and design engineer at a cost of
$680. Valve boxes in the administration area were adjusted in the amount of
$300 to accommodate street construction. A total of 12 additional calender
days is proposed in this Change Order to compensate the contractor for delays
connected to the opening of the airport.

Approved Change Orders No. 1 through 27 3,955,358.15
Proposed Change Order No. 28 64,431.90
Proposed Contract Amount $23,840,198.75
Approval of Change Order No. 28, along with previously approved Change
Orders, will amount to a 20.3% increase in the original contract amount.
FINANCING•
The City believes that all of the work items involved in Change Order No. 28
are grant eligible and proposes to submit them for reimbursement under the
current grants. Although the total funds listed in the current grants has
been exceeded, the Federal Aviation Administration has authority under
Section 512 (b) of the Airport and Airway Safety and Capacity Expansion Act
of 1987 to increase existing grants up to 15 percent., They have indicated on
numerous occasions their plans to amend the existing grants subject to the
availability of funds. A letter dated September 8, 1989 from Jack Sasser,
F.A.A. Deputy Regional Administrator, spells out the authority and the
intention to consider amendments. Since the subject proposed Change Order is
within the limits of the amendment authority, the City would expect to be
fully reimbursed for these expenditures. A receivable would be created to
reflect this expectation.
