DISCUSSION:
Oft On March 30, 2004, (M&C G-14319) the City Council adopted the proposed six year implementation
0", schedule for the 2004 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). $1,881,000 was allocated for Reserve Park Site
Development in Proposition 2, with $150,000 allocated for Post Oak Village Park development.
The Post Oak Village Reserve Park Development project was initiated in early June 2004. In late June
2004, the Parks and Community Services Department (PACSD)was contacted by Post Oak East
Apartment, L.P. on their intent to develop multi-family housing adjacent to Post Oak Village Park.
In compliance with the 2000 City Park Dedication Policy, the multi-family development generated a
Neighborhood Park Fee in the amount of$155,639.88. 50% credit was applied to private open space
improvement within the development as allowed by the Park Dedication Policy, leaving a fee balance of
,.►. $77,819.94. PACS staff and the developer agree to apply the remaining fee balance towards development
of Post Oak Village Park. The developer obtained park design services from Schrickel, Rollins and
Associates, Inc., in December 2004 in the amount of$24,700. This amount was deducted from the
Neighborhood Park Fee, leaving a fee balance of$53,119.94, which was to be combined with the project
budget amount of$150,000, increasing the total available construction and contingency budget to
"" $203,119.94.
„ In January 2005, PACS staff advertised for public input and upon receipt of comments, proceeded with
coordinating preparation of final design and construction document preparation with Schrickel, Rollins and
Associates, Inc. Plans were completed and the project advertised for bid on August 25 and September 1,
AW1 2005. However, the low bidder failed to comply with the MANBE Ordinance and the City Council rejected
bids on November 1, 2005, (M&C G-14984). The project was re-advertised on November 3 and November
10, 2005. On December 1, 2005, the following bids were received:

3.04 EARTH EMBANKMENT ,
A. Earth embankment is defined as embankment composed of suitable materials removed
in unclassified excavation and/or imported fill. The construction of embankment
includes preparing the area on which fill is to be placed and the depositing,
conditioning, and compaction of fill material.
B. General: Except as otherwise required by the plans, all embankment shall be
constructed in layers approximately parallel to the finished grade of the graded area, and
each layer shall be so constructed as to provide a uniform slope as shown on the grading
plan. Embankments shall be constructed to correspond to the general shape of the
typical sections shown on the plans, and each section of the embankment shall
correspond to the detailed section or slopes established by the drawings. After
completion of the graded area, embankment shall be continuously maintained to its
finished section and grade until the project is accepted.
C. Preparation: Prior to placing any embankment, all preparatory operations will have
been completed on the excavation sources and areas over which the embankment is to Ask
be placed. The subgrade shall be proof rolled to detect soft spots, which if exist, should
be reworked. Proof rolling shall be performed using a heavy pneumatc tired roller,
loaded dump truck, or similar piece of equipment weighing approximately twenty five "`
(25)tons except as otherwise specified for tree protection and areas inaccessible to .»
vehicular compactors. Stump holes or other small excavations in the limits of the
embankments shall be backfilled with suitable material and thoroughly tamped by
approved methods before commencing embankment construction. The surface of the
ground, including plowed, loosened ground, or surfaces roughened by small washes or
otherwise, shall be restored to approximately its original slope by blading or other ,
methods, and, where indicated on the plans or required by the Owner, the ground
surface,thus prepared, shall be compacted by sprinkling and rolling.

D. Scarification: The surface of all areas and slopes over which fill is to be placed, other
than rock, shall be scarified to a depth of approximately six(6") inches to provide a
Ak bond between the existing surface and the proposed embankment. Scarification shall be
accomplished by plowing, discing, or other approved means. Prior to fill placement,the
loosened material shall be adjusted to the proper moisture content and recompacted to
the density specified herein for fill.
E. Benching: Scarification is normally adequate for sloping surfaces. However, in certain
cases where fill is to be placed against hillsides or existing embankment with slopes
greater than 4:1, the Owner may direct the Contractor to key the fill material to the
existing slopes by benching. A minimum of two feet(2')normal to the slope shall be
removed and recompacted to insure that the new work is constructed on a firm
foundation free of loose or disturbed material.
F. Depositing: Fill material shall be placed in horizontal layers or lifts, evenly spread,not
to exceed eight(8") inches in loose depth before conditioning and compaction. Unless
otherwise permitted, each layer of fill material shall cover the length and width of the
area to be filled and shall be conditioned and compacted before the next higher layer of
fill is placed. Adequate drainage shall be maintained at all times.
Ak G. Watering: At the time of compaction,the moisture content of fill material shall be such
that the specified compaction will be obtained, and the fill will be firm, hard, and
unyielding. Fill material which contains excessive moisture shall not be compacted
until it is dry enough to obtain the specified compaction.
.mow.
H. Compacting: Each layer of earth fill shall be compacted by approved tamping or
sheepsfoot rollers, pneumatic tire rollers, or other mechanical means acceptable to the
Owner. Hand-directed compaction equipment shall be used in areas inaccessible to
,ft vehicular compactors.
I. Grading: Embankments shall be constructed in proper sequence and at proper
` densities for their respective functions. All embankment serves in one capacity
