Mrs. Martha Lunday, representing the Department of Transportation and Public
Mrs. Martha Lunday Works, appeared before the City Council and advised the City Council that the report of
re BH -0024 the independent appraisal performed by Mr. Robert Martin has been previously presented
to the City Council and called attention of the City Council to Mayor and Council
Communication No. BH -0024, as follows:
SUBJECT: BENEFIT HEARING FOR THE ASSESSMENT PAVING OF NORTH CRUMP STREET
FROM LONG AVENUE TO 29TH STREET (PROJECT NO. 67-040157-00)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt an ordinance closing the
benefit hearing and levying assessments as proposed, acknowledging that in
each case the abutting property is specially benefited by enhanced value in
excess of the amount assessed for the improvement of North Crump Street from
Long Avenue to 29th Street.
DISCUSSION:
The 1986 Capital Improvement Program approved in March, 1986, included funds
for the improvement of North Crump Street from Long Avenue to 29th Street.
The existing street consists of HMAC pavement in poor condition with some
curb and some gutter. It is located in the Diamond Hill Target Area, and
Community Development Block Grant funds will finance 30 percent of the
construction cost.
On May 15, 1990 (M&C G-8601), the City Council established June 12, 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 2.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
It is proposed to improve this segment of North Crump Street by constructing
six-inch thick reinforced concrete pavement with a seven-inch high integral
concrete curb on a six-inch thick lime stabilized subgrade so that the
finished roadway will be twenty-eight feet wide on a fifty foot right-of-way.
Six-inch thick concrete driveway approaches and four -inch thick concrete
sidewalks will be constructed where specified on the plans.
ASSESSMENTS:
This street has not 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.
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 City Engineer's estimate and the advice of the
independent appraiser, the cost of the construction has been computed at

SUBJECT: BENEFIT HEARING FOR THE ASSESSMENT PAVING OF FARON STREET FROM
WELLESLEY AVENUE TO LOVELL AVENUE (PROJECT NO. 67-040195-00)
II RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt an ordinance closing the
benefit hearing and levying assessments as proposed, acknowledging that in
each case the abutting property is specially benefited by enhanced value in
excess of the amount assessed for the improvement of Faron Street from
Wellesley Avenue to Lovell Avenue.
DISCUSSION:
The 1986 Capital Improvement Program approved in March, 1986, included funds
for the improvement of Faron Street from Wellesley Avenue to Lovell Avenue.
The existing street consists of HMAC pavement in poor condition with no curb
and no gutter. It is located in the Como Target Area, and Community
Development Block Grant funds will finance 30 percent of the construction
cost.
On May 22, 1990 (M&C G-8623), the City Council established June 19, 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 7.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
It is proposed to improve this segment of Faron Street 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 twenty-eight feet wide on a sixty foot width
right-of-way. Six-inch thick concrete driveway approaches and four -inch
thick concrete sidewalks will be constructed where specified on the plans.
II AC0TSC.MFNT_9-
This street has not 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.
An independent appraiser has advised the staff as to the amount of
enhancement to property values that will result from the proposed
improvements. Based on standard City policy, the City Engineer's estimate,
and the advice of the independent appraiser, the cost of the construction has
been computed at $37,730.50 (15%) for the property owners and $215,712.80
(85%) for the City of Fort Worth at large.
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.

SUBJECT: BENEFIT HEARING FOR THE ASSESSMENT PAVING OF MEACHAM BOULEVARD FROM
800' WEST OF THE BURLINGTON NORTHERN RAILROAD TO MARK IV PARKWAY
(PROJECT NO. 30-023191-00)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt an ordinance closing the
benefit hearing and levying assessments as proposed, acknowledging that in
each case the abutting property is specially benefited by enhanced value in
excess of the amount assessed for the improvement of Meacham Boulevard from
800' W. of the Burlington Northern Railroad to Mark IV Parkway.
DISCUSSION:
Meacham Boulevard is included in the City's Master Thoroughfare Plan as a
six -lane divided roadway from Blue Mound Road (FM 156) to Interstate 35W. A
divided roadway has been constructed from I -35W west 760 feet. The north
half of the facility has been constructed from that point to Mark IV Parkway;
and the south half, from Blue Mound Road to the railroad. The 1982 Capital
Improvement Program included funds for an overpass spanning the railroad
tracks. On June 13, 1989 (M&C's C-11685 and C-11694), the City Council
Minutes of City Council P-3 Page 210
A.1
TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1990
BH -0026 cont.
approved community facilities agreements with owners of property adjoining
.the section of Meacham Boulevard between Mark IV Parkway and the east
overpass approach; these agreements provided for the dedication of
right-of-way necessary for the construction of the remaining link in the
roadway.
Unopened streets within undeveloped land are not usually constructed on an
assessment basis; however, the roadway and overpass are needed for traffic
circulation in the area. The adjacent property owners do not plan to develop
their land at this time. The community facilities agreements therefore
provide for the streets to be constructed on the assessment basis, with the
property owners paying out their share of the cost with interest over a
period of time.
The Burlington Northern Railroad tracks are within the city limits of the
1 City of Saginaw; on April 17, 1990, the Saginaw City Council approved
Resolution No. 90-9 granting to the City of Fort Worth the right to construct
the bridge, to maintain it, and to enforce traffic and safety laws in its
use, all solely at the expense of the City of Fort Worth.
On May 22, 1990 (M&C G-8628), the City Council established June 19, 1990, as
the date of the benefit hearing. Notices have been given in accordance with
Article 11O5b, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes.
The project is located in Council District 2.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
Meacham Boulevard from approximately 800 feet west of the Burlington Northern
Railroad tracks to Mark IV Parkway will be paved with seven-inch thick
reinforced concrete with seven-inch high attached concrete curb on a base of
two-inch hot -mix asphaltic concrete over a six-inch thick lime stabilized
subgrade. The bridge will have a four -lane divided concrete roadway. The
bridge approaches and the roadway from the bridge to Deen Road will vary from
a divided four -lane to a divided six -lane facility on a variable width
right-of-way. The roadway from Deen Road to Mark IV Parkway will be the
north side of a future six -lane divided facility on a 120 -foot right-of-way.
Drainage structures and six-inch thick concrete driveway approaches will be
constructed as shown on the plans.
ASSESSMENTS:
This street has not previously been constructed to City standards. All
adjacent properties are zoned commercial.
Based on standard City policy, and the low bid prices, the cost of the
construction has been computed at $472,530.16 (12%) for the property owners
and $3,580,291.39 (88%) for the City of Fort Worth at large.
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.
There being no one else present desiring to be heard in connection with the
benefit hearing for the assessment paving of Meacham Boulevard from 800 feet west of

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the accounts totalling $1,157.26 for refund listed
below be approved in accordance with Section 31.11 of the Texas Property Tax
Code.
DISCUSSION:
The Texas Property Tax Code requires that a taxpayer must request a refund
for tax overpayment within three years of that payment. An overpayment or
erroneous payment is a payment in excess of the amount of liability shown on
the tax roll and results primarily from a double payment (commonly by a
mortgage company and the owner). Section 31.11 of the Property Tax Code
further requires approval by the governing body before refunding overpayments
or erroneous payments in instances where the refund exceeds $500.00. The
Revenue Collection Division of the Finance Department has verified that the
following erroneous payment or overpayments were made and recommends refund.

M&C G-8673 cont.
06 i v
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached policy, under
which limited cable television franchises may be granted in Fort Worth.
DISCUSSION:
After receiving several inquiries from businesses desiring to provide cable
television services to areas of Fort Worth not served by Sammons
Communications, staff has develped a policy under the terms of which firms
desiring to provide this service could be granted a limited franchise.
Chapter 8 of the City Code mandates that all providers of cable television
service to members of the public must gain a franchise and pay a franchise
fee as compensation for use of the city streets, easements and rights of way.
It is contemplated that the limited cable television franchise will be used
when a for-profit business desires to provide cable television service to
locations which are not owned by that business. The policy provides for city
approval of plans and specifications for construction of the limited cable
television system, and for payment of an application and a franchise fee.
The franchise fee will be based on the number of locations on the particular
system which are wired to receive the cable television transmission. The
application fee of $500 will defray the costs of the various city departments
involved in the review of plans, inspection of construction, monitoring of
the franchise operation and collection of the franchise fee.
Asst. CMO Ruth Assistant City Manager Ruth Ann McKinney appeared before the City Council and
Ann McKinney re advised the City Council that a franchise policy for cable television already is in
M&C G-8673 effect but that a procedure is necessary to permit application for a franchise
agreement and requested that the City Council adopt the Limited Cable Television
Franchise Application.
City Attorney Adkins advised the City Council that Council Member McCray owns
three shares of stock in Sammons Cable and that he had advised Council Member McCray
that this would not prevent him from voting on this issue.
Council Member Garrison made a motion, seconded by Council Member Granger, that
the recommendation be adopted. When the motion was put to a vote by the Mayor, it
prevailed unanimously.

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF ACCESS PERMIT FOR OFF -AIRPORT ACCESS AT FORT WORTH
ALLIANCE AIRPORT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Alliance Airport
Access Permit.
nTCrllggTnN-
On May 17, 1988, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 10113, under the
terms of which the owners of land adjacent to Fort Worth Alliance Airport may
gain access to the airport from their off -airport property. The ordinance
provides that the City, through the Aviation Director (now, the Director of
Airport Systems) will grant an Access Permit to owners of off -airport
property who abide by the terms of the ordinance and pay the appropriate
access fee. The Access Permit may be revoked if the terms of the ordinance
or the Access Permit are violated.
The attached Access Permit form, effectuating the terms of the ordinance,
will be used for each owner who is eligible to gain access, after meeting all
of the qualifications of the ordinance.
City Manager Ivory advised the City Council that the form for Alliance Airport
Access Permit is an organic document that will be used to provide access and is for
Alliance Airport only and advised Council that the through -the -fence operation. at
Meacham Field is a separate issue from the Alliance Airport Access Permit.
Mr. Bob Burke, Director of Airport Systems, appeared before the City Council and
advised City Council that the access permit strictly involves Alliance Airport and that
the Alliance Airport Access Permit is a part of the Alliance Airport contractual
obligation that the City has to Alliance.
Council Member Garrison made a motion, seconded by Council Member Webber, that the
recommendation, as contained in Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8677, be adopted.

DISCUSSION:
During the later part of 1988, a Pre -application for Federal Assistance was
submitted to FAA for the funding of critical projects at Meacham Airport.
This blanket pre -application comprised forty-one projects totaling
$15,481,174. The cost to the City, should all of these projects eventually
be funded, would total $1,548,119.
Meacham Airport has not received a federal grant since 1985. FAA has refused
to provide grant assistance for Meacham Airport until the City provided
adequate personnel and financial resources for the operation and maintenance
of the airport.
Project Numbers 2, 3a, 3b, 3c, and 3d, which provide for the repair,
replacement of the VASI System, and reconstruction, crack sealing, seal coat
application, and re -stripping of Runway 16R/34L, and Taxiways E, Q, and P
were to be included in the FY 90-91 Budget. They were removed since funds
from the Capital Reserve had been allocated to complete these projects during
the present fiscal year. Since the entire amount allocated ($650,000) was
not needed, the allocation was reduced by $275,000.
Project Numbers 6 and 9 (Runway 16L/34R blast pad reconstruction and taxiway
and run up area reconstruction and widening) are critical to relieve airport
congestion and provide for the anticipated operations by Page AvJet of wide
body aircraft (747's). The FAA was asked to move these projects for funding
in the present FY or during FY 91. In return, the City will have to complete
Projects 2, 3a, 3b, 3c and 3d and complete the plans and specifications for
Project Numbers 6 and 9. Any expended funds for Projects 6 and 9 are
eligible for reimbursement in a future grant.
Since Projects 2, 3a, 3b, 3c and 3d, as well as funds to prepare plans and
specifications for 6 and 9, were removed from next year's budget, and because
it appears that sufficient funds may not be available to reinstate these
projects in the upcoming fiscal year, a withdrawal of the allocation from the
capital reserve will set these projects back three years, preclude federal
funding of critical projects for Meacham and impact Page AvJet's proposed
operations significantly.
FINANCING:
Sufficient funds are available in the cash balance in the Capital Projects
Reserve Fund 10, Project No. 010001-00, Unspecified, for transfer. After
approval and completion of Recommendation 1, sufficient funds will be
available in Aviation Improvements - Capital Projects 7 and 24, Project
No. 043788-00, Crack Seal Rwy 16R/34L ($237,500), Project No. 04789-00,
Replace VASI System ($71,500), and Project No. 043790-00, Engineering Rwy
16L/34R ($30,000). The cash balance remaining in Capital Projects Fund 10,
Project No. 010001-00, Unspecified, will be $1,451,408 after this transfer.

It is recommended that the City Council take the following action:

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council take the following action:
Minutes of City Council P-3 Page 222
C G-8679 cont.
1. Hold a public hearing concerning designation of the Fort Worth Tax
Abatement Reinvestment Zone No. 3; and
2. Adopt the attached ordinance which designates the Fort Worth Tax
Abatement and Reinvestment Zone No. 3 pursuant to Property Redevelopment
and Tax Abatement Act, V.T.C.A., Tax Code, Sections 312.001 through
312.209, as amended.
RArvnPniIND
On March 10, 1989, the City Council adopted a Resolution stating that the
City of Fort Worth elected to become eligible to participate in tax abatement.
On August 1, 1989, the Council established guidelines and criteria governing
tax abatement agreements by the City for Qualified Commercial/Industrial
Projects. On June 5, 1990, the City Council amended the policy statement
regarding commercial/industrial projects.
Consideration of this issue as a part of today's agenda serves as a Public
Hearing on the designation of a reinvestment zone as required by the Property
Redevelopment and Tax Abatement Act.
Notice of this public hearing was published in the newspaper and delivered to
the presiding officer of the governing body of each affected taxing unit at
least 7 days prior to this meeting as required by State law.
The proposed area meets the criteria for the designation of a reinvestment
zone, as required by the Code, in that the area is reasonably likely, as a
result of the designation, to contribute to the retention or expansion of
primary employment or to attract major investment in the zone that would be a
benefit to the property and that would contribute to the economic development
of the City. In addition, the improvements sought in the zone are feasible
and practical and would be a benefit to the land to be included in the zone
and to the City after any tax abatement agreements which may be entered in
accordance with state law have expired.
The designation of a reinvestment zone expires after 5 years and may be
renewed for periods not to exceed 5 years.
State law requires a city to designate a zone prior to entering into tax
abatement.

TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1990
On October 17, 1989 (M&C C-11935), the City Council authorized the separation
of Weiler Boulevard from Meadowbrook Drive to accelerate the reconstruction
of Weiler Boulevard.
DISCUSSION:
Meadowbrook Drive goes through two distinct areas, residential and
commercial. The commercial area (east section of Meadowbrook Drive) has
extensive utility adjustments that will be required and the majority of
right-of-way and easements have yet to be obtained. In addition, Texas
Utilities has shown great concern about the retaining wall adjacent to the
high tension power towers at the far east end of the project. For this
reason, it is felt that additional study and structural design will be needed
beyond the standard requirements.
Therefore, the reconstruction of the west section of Meadowbrook Drive from
Watson to Stark (through the residential area) could be accelerated if the
project were separated into two separate projects.
Yandell & Hiller has agreed to prepare separate sets of plans, specifications
and bidding documents covering each project, rather than a single set
covering both sections, and perform the additional studies and design work
for a fee not to exceed $8,100. This will raise the maximum fee from
$72,250.00 to $80,350. The staff considers this fee to be fair and
reasonable for the work involved.
PROJECT FINANCING:
Sufficient funds are available for transfer from Street Improvements Fund 67,
Project No. 095901-00, Engineering Unspecified. Upon approval and completion
of Recommendation No. 1, sufficient funds will be available in Street

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Manager be authorized to execute Change Order
No. 29 to T.L. James and Company's contract for construction of Alliance
Airport, Phase II improvements in the amount of $23,988.42, and Change Order
No. 30 in the amount of $8,360.74, increasing the total contract amount to
$23,872,547.91.
DTSCUSSION:
On October 25, 1988 (M&C C-11265), the City Council awarded a construction
contract to T.L. James & 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 28 so that
it currently stands at $23,840,198.75.
PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER NO. 29:
The decision to extend the runway and build the counterpoise at the north end
of the field necessitated additional fencing in the area amounting to
$5,769.60.
In addition, the decision to revise the loop road required additional
quantities of excavation, paving and conduit costing $32,160.45. However,
there were also deducts for certain fence items so that the net cost for the
Change is $23,988.42.
PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER NO. 30:
The decision to open the airport on December 15, 1989, while construction was
still underway, caused additional costs to be incurred for barricades to
incomplete taxiways, and for work on temporarily displaced thresholds
amounting to $1,345.28. Also, a design change was made to provide a backup
power source to the airfield lighting system. Although this cost $3,226 to
hookup, it allowed a very expensive backup generator to be eliminated from
the project. As a result of very heavy rains during May, the retaining wall
supporting the counterpoise structure was damaged. The contractor was
ordered to take emergency protective measures to prevent additional damage at
a cost of $3,023.06. An additional drop inlet was also added at a cost of
$1,882.40 and modifications to the joint system in the electrical vault were

for placing 50 light cans too low, and for using 3/8 inch plate covers on 43
lights in lieu of 3/4 inch covers in the amounts of $1,800 and $516
respectively. The net for the entire change order is $8,360.74.

Grainger, Jennings and Lilac Streets.
RArvapn11Nn
On May 16, 1989 (M&C C-11645), the City Council awarded a contract in the
amount of $651,233.36 to Walt Williams Construction Company, Inc., to
reconstruct College, Grainger, Jennings and Lilac Streets. This contract was
assigned City Secretary Contract No. 17127.
PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER NO. 1:
During the excavation of College Avenue, it was found that some sections of
the street were constructed on top of old trolley tracks. The line and grade
of the new street requires the removal of these tracks, which amount to 2,127
square yards for a cost of $19,143.00. The contractor will also be required
to reconstruct 150 square feet of concrete steps at a cost of $2,250.00.
Further, it was found that utility adjustments substantially exceed the
estimated amount of work on this project and an additional $4,000 is
required. The contractor has agreed to do all the additional work for a
total of $25,393.00 and 20 additional working days. Engineering staff has
reviewed these proposed changes and find the cost to be reasonable and
proper.
PROJECT COST:
Original Contract Price: $651,233.36
Proposed Change Order No. 1: 25,393.00
Proposed Contract Cost: $676,626.36
This change order would result in a 3.90% increase in the contract amount.

SUBJECT: LEGAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT FOR TOXICITY REDUCTION EVALUATION (TRE)
Mathews, P.C.
- VILLAGE CREEK WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM WITH LLOYD, GOSSELINK,
FOWLER, BLEVINS, AND MATHEWS, P.C.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter
into an agreement with Lloyd, Gosselink, Fowler, Blevins & Mathews, P.C.
(LGFBM) for legal assistance related to a TRE being performed on the Village
Creek Wastewater Treatment System, for a fee not to exceed $10,000.00.
BACKGROUND:
To achieve the Clean Water Act requirement of no discharge of toxic
substances in toxic amounts, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
ordered the City to biomonitor its wastewater discharge to the West Fork of
the Trinity River. The monitoring started in January, 1989, and was
performed on a monthly basis for one year. The results indicated periodic
chronic toxicity to sensitive test organisms. Because of this, the EPA
issued the City another order in December, 1989, requiring the source of
toxicity be determined by conducting a TRE within a two-year period and to
continue monthly biomonitoring tests.
NEED FOR LEGAL ASSISTANCE:
A TRE is a formal, detailed study used to determine the source of toxicity in
a prescribed manner. A TRE protocol to determine acute toxicity has been
developed by EPA, while none has been developed for chronic toxicity. Upon
investigation, no municipal wastewater system in the country could be found
that has conducted a TRE based on chronic toxicity. Because neither previous
experience nor a test protocol could be found, it is questionable whether EPA
can legally require a TRE to be developed or conducted through an order for
information.
Another important factor to evaluate is the inclusion of a toxicity
limitation in a federal wastewater discharge permit. EPA staff has indicated
that a permit limitation on toxicity would be included after a TRE is
completed. Such a permit limitation would pose significant legal liability
issues since not all discharges to the sewerage system that may cause
toxicity can be regulated or controlled (i.e., residential discharge), and
any permit violation would subject the City to a significant fine.
It would be prudent for the City to investigate the legal implications of a
TRE and toxicity removal before EPA requires a toxicity limit in a permit.
To accomplish this, it is proposed to retain the firm of LGFBM whose staff
has expertise in wastewater toxicity and discharge permit issues.
COST:
Legal assistance would be requested on an as -needed basis. LGFBM would bill
for work at an hourly rate of $170.00 for the attorney in charge, $145.00 for
the assisting attorney, and $50.00 for briefing clerk and paralegal time.
The estimated maximum fee for assistance is $10,000.00.
FINANCING:
Sufficient funds for payment of services are available in Water and Sewer
Operating Fund No. 45, Account No. 70-50-02, Wastewater Treatment. The
expenditures will be made from Index Code 384164.

nTCrIICCTnN-
Meacham Boulevard is included in the City's Master Thoroughfare Plan as a
six -lane divided roadway from Blue Mound Road -(FM 156) to Interstate 35W. A
divided roadway has been constructed from I -35W west 760 feet. The north
half of the facility has been constructed from that point to Mark IV Parkway;
and the south half, from Blue Mound Road to the railroad. The 1982 Capital
Improvement Program included funds for an overpass spanning the railroad
tracks. On June 13, 1989 (M&C's C-11685 and C-11694), the City Council
approved community facilities agreements with owners of property adjoining
the section of Meacham Boulevard between Mark IV Parkway and the east
overpass approach; these agreements provided for the dedication of
right-of-way necessary for the construction of the remaining link in the
roadway.
The Burlington Northern Railroad tracks are within the city limits of the
City of Saginaw; on April 17, 1990, the Saginaw City Council approved
Resolution No. 90-9 granting to the City of Fort Worth the right to construct
the bridge, to maintain it, and to enforce traffic and safety laws in its
use, all solely at the expense of the City of Fort Worth.
On June 19, 1990, the City Council conducted a benefit hearing and levied
assessments for this project.
This project is located in Council District 2.

PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
Meacham Boulevard from approximately 800 feet west of the Burlington Northern
Railroad tracks to Mark IV Parkway will be paved with seven-inch thick
reinforced concrete with seven-inch high attached concrete curb on a base of
two-inch hot -mix asphaltic concrete over a six-inch thick lime stabilized
subgrade. The bridge will have a four -lane divided concrete roadway. The
bridge approaches and the roadway from the bridge to Deen Road will vary from
a divided four -lane to a divided six -lane facility on a variable width
right-of-way. The roadway from Deen Road to Mark IV Parkway will be the
north side of a future six -lane divided facility on a 120 -foot right-of-way.
Drainage structures and six-inch thick concrete driveway approaches will be
constructed as shown on the plans.

Staff's evaluation of the three low bids indicates it would be in the City's
best interest to accept the Alternate No. 2 bid in the amount of
$3,859,830.05 and 180 working days, as submitted by Austin Bridge Company.
This recommendation is based on the amount of liquidated damages as specified
in the contract ($630 per day), and the premium which would be paid by
utilizing Alternate No. 2 versus the number of working days which would be
saved ($41.67 per day).
The low bidders are in compliance with the City's DBE policy.
FINANCING:
Sale of the bonds voted in 1982 for the Meacham Boulevard paving and overpass
has been delayed until the fall of 1990 in order to reduce the debt service
requirements for the 1990-91 fiscal year. Funds voted for other projects are
being temporarily transferred to the Meacham Boulevard account and will be
restored in the fall after the bonds have been sold.

The 1986 Capital Improvement Program approved in March, 1986, included funds
for the improvement of Oleander Street from Evans Avenue to Mansfield Avenue,
but, in response to neighborhood input, the limits were subsequently reduced
to approximately 375 ft. east of Stone Street because of the existence of a
creek, a grade differential and two residences in the path of the proposed
roadway at Mansfield Avenue. The existing street consists of HMAC pavement
in poor condition with some curb and some gutter. It is located in the
Southeast Target Area, and Community Development Block Grant funds will
finance 30 percent of the construction cost consistent with established
policy.
On June 12, 1990, the City Council conducted a benefit hearing and levied
assessments for this project.
This project is located in Council District 8.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
It is proposed to improve Oleander Street, from Evans Avenue to approximately
375 feet east of Stone Street, by constructing a six-inch thick reinforced
concrete pavement with seven-inch high attached concrete curb on a six-inch
thick lime stabilized subgrade, so that the finished roadway will be
twenty-eight feet wide 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.
In addition to the proposed street improvements, the Water Department
determined that their existing water and sewer facilities in Oleander Street
needed upgrading.
