The reclassification of two of the bids changed the bid award recommendation and one of the bidder's intent to award letter was rescinded in order to award to a lower cost responsive bidder. Mr. Dale advised that there was a backlog of one thousand tickets for the mowing of the properties for the Code Compliance Department. Council Member Espino stated he wanted the Purchasing Department staff to visit with the bidder again to explain what procedures were in place to prevent a future reoccurrence of this magnitude and also stress to the bidder where the City was and because the next City Council meeting was not until July 12, 2011, the lots needed to be mowed. He further stated that because of the flaws in the process that he would not be able to support this item and that he understood that time was of the essence and the lots needed to be mowed. Council Member Hicks asked why the Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprises (M/WBE) requirement was waived for this item. Mr. Dale stated that this item was reviewed by the M/WBE Division which revealed that in the mowing contracts the companies do the work themselves and there was not much of an opportunity for M/WBE subcontracting. He added that the percentages for the requirement would be low and advised that the M/WBE Division no longer set goals and allowed the contractors to do the work themselves. Council Member Hicks stated that she would support this item but she shared the same concerns as Council Member Espino. She added that she believed there were a number of companies that do not need to be the subcontractor but could be the prime contractor who were considered an M/WBE company and challenged staff to work harder in ensuring there was more diversity when it came to these type of contracts. Mr. Dale stated that the Purchasing Division had modified their process pertaining to the letters of intent to ensure that the letters were not distributed to the bidders until they had been approved.

He stated that he wanted everyone to know that the motorcycle riders enjoyed riding and did not cause mischief, but rode together as a family, especially in his club, which was made up of honorably discharged military veterans. He further stated that Fort Worth was a town that they had chosen to come back to because they love the City. He pointed out that the club was Chapter Number 10 in the City and they were very proud of the Chapter. He requested that the City place more signage on the streets that advise motorists to be aware of motorcyclists. He expressed concerns for the motorcyclists and their safety when people were driving their cars and talking and texting on their cell phones. He stated that motorcyclists were very vulnerable to the other vehicles on the road because the motorcyclists did not have any protection around them like automobiles and trucks. He recounted an event that occurred on Highway 287 where one of their members was severely injured and was taken by an emergency helicopter to the hospital. He added that all of the motorcyclists had families and pointed out that he protected the American citizens oversees in combat and he was asking that the citizens do the same for the motorcyclists on the streets. Council Member Burdette stated that he was once a bicycle rider and knew exactly what Mr. Love was referring to and added that it was very important for a rider on a two - wheeled vehicle traveling on a busy street to watch the other persons' eyes to see what they were doing because they did not pay CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 14, 2011 PAGE 41 of 42 (XVII. CITIZEN PRESENTATIONS Continued) attention to the motorcyclist. He stated that he hoped that Mr. Love's points were well taken and that the Transportation and Public Works Department would look into the matter and put up signage. He advised that recently he had seen some messages on the Texas Department of Public Safety electronic highway signs about looking twice for motorcycles and he thought that was a great message to get out to all of the motorists.

He also expressed appreciation the group for attending the Council meeting. Mayor Moncrief stated that Mr. Love's point was well taken and pointed out that Fort Worth was blessed to be the ninth safest major city in the United States.
