rs. Martha Lunday Mrs. Martha Lunday, representing the Transportation and Public Works Department,
e BH -0019 appeared before the City Council and advised the City Council that the report of the

Council Communication No. BH -0019, as follows:
SUBJECT: BENEFIT HEARING FOR THE ASSESSMENT PAVING OF FITZHUGH AVENUE FROM
BISHOP STREET TO CAMPBELL STREET, (PROJECT NO. 90-136072-00)
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 Fitzhugh Avenue from
Bishop Street to Campbell Street.
DTSMISSTON:
The Fort Worth Independent School District has made major improvements to the
D. McRae Elementary School, and improvements to Fitzhugh Avenue abutting the
school site are considered essential. Community Facilities Agreement
No. 16429 has been executed by the Fort Worth ISD, owner of 50% of the
adjacent property.
Although Fitzhugh Street is in a target area, it is not part of the 1986
Capital Improvement Program, and no CDBG funds are available to finance the
street construction.
Fitzhugh Avenue has been previously constructed to City standards; therefore,
property zoned and used for one- and two-family residences is not being
assessed except for missing curb, gutter, driveway approaches, and sidewalks.
On May 15, 1990 (M&C G-8597), 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 5.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
It is proposed to improve this segment of Fitzhugh Avenue by constructing
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 forty feet wide on a fifty-five foot right-of-way.
Six-inch thick concrete driveway approaches and four -inch thick concrete
sidewalks will be constructed where specified on the plans.

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 $24,878.44 (10%) for the property owners, $114,481.50 (45%)
for Fort Worth ISD and $112,983.58 (45%) 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.

H-0027 cont. 11 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 Sixth Avenue from
Seminary Drive to Drew Street.
DISCUSSION:
Sixth Avenue from Seminary Drive to Drew was added to the 1986 Capital
Improvement Program by City Council and financed with Council District No. 9
undesignated funds. The existing street consists of HMAC pavement in poor
condition with some curb and some gutter and has previously been constructed
to City Standards.
On May 22, 1990 (M&C G-8625), 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 9.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
It is proposed to improve this segment of Sixth Avenue by constructing
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 vary from thirty to thirty-nine feet wide on a variable
width right-of-way. Six-inch thick concrete driveway approaches and
four -inch thick concrete sidewalks will be constructed where shown on the
plans.
ASSESSMENTS:
This street has previously been constructed to City standards; therefore, in
accordance with the Assessment Paving Policy, properties zoned and used for
one- and two-family residences are not being assessed, except for missing
curb and driveway approaches which will be assessed at the prevailing
residential rates.
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
$6,410.75 (2%) for the property
owners
and $307,338.57 (98%)
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.
Council Member Chappell advised the City Council that a former Council Member
Estil Vance previously had made a commitment to the Rosemont area that there would not
be any assessments for single-family dwellings on Sixth and Butler Streets and
requested that he be allowed to eliminate from the assessment paving the single family
dwellings located on Sixth Avenue and West Butler Street in order to keep the
commitment of former Council Member Vance.
r. Robert Snoke Mr. Robert Snoke, 3826 Sixth Avenue, appeared before the City Council and

BH -0028 to Livingston Avenue from day to day and from time to time and especially to the
meeting of June 26, 1990, to give every interested citizen or person opportunity to be
heard, Mayor Bolen asked if there was anyone present desiring to be heard.
Mrs. Martha Lunday Mrs. Martha Lunday, representing the Transportation and Public Works Department,
re BH -0028 appeared before the City Council and advised the City Council that the report of the
City staff has been given; that the appraisal report of Mr. Robert Martin previously
has been presented to the City Council; that the appraiser is present and available for
questioning; and called attention of the City Council to Mayor and Council
Communication No. BH -0028, as follows:
SUBJECT: BENEFIT HEARING FOR THE ASSESSMENT PAVING OF W. BUTLER STREET FROM
McCART AVENUE TO LIVINGSTON AVENUE (PROJECT NO. 67-040203-00)
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 W. Butler Street from
McCart Avenue to Livingston.
DISCUSSION:
W. Butler Street was added to the 1986 Capital Improvement Program by City
Council and financed with Council District No. 9 undesignated funds. The
existing street consists of HMAC pavement in poor condition with some curb
and some gutter but not previously been constructed to City Standards.
Residential properties will be assessed at the prevailing residential rate.
On May 22, 1990 (M&C G-8624), 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 9.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
It is proposed to improve this segment of W. Butler Street by constructing
six-inch thick reinforced concrete pavement with seven-inch high attached
concrete curb over a six-inch lime stabilized subgrade so that the finished
roadway will be thirty-six feet wide on a sixty foot right-of-way. Six-inch
thick concrete driveway approaches will be constructed where specified on the
plans.
ASSESSMENTS:
This street has not previously been constructed to City standards; therefore,
in accordance with the Assessment Paving Policy, properties zoned and used
for one- and two-family residences are being assessed the prevailing
residential rate.
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 $53,752.04 (17%) for the property owners and $259,941.91
(83%) 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: REFUND OF TAX OVERPAYMENTS
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the accounts totaling $7,917.98 for refund listed
below be approved in accordance with Section 31.11 of the Texas Property Tax
Code.
DTSMISSTON!
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 usually 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.

SUBJECT: PROPOSED CHANGES IN FRONT FOOT CHARGES FOR WATER AND SANITARY SEWER
CONNECTIONS
Minutes of City Council P-3 Page 274
TUESDAY, JUNE 26, 1990
M&C G-8694 cont. RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that:
2�J
r
1. The attached ordinance be adopted, to be effective July 1, 1990,
amending Section 35-58 of Chapter 35 of the Fort Worth City Code
increasing front foot charges for water service connections from $10.25
per front foot to $10.40 per front foot and increasing front foot
charges for sanitary sewer service connections from $8.75 per front foot
to $9.75 per front foot; and
2. The Water and Sanitary Sewer Installation Policy be amended to
incorporate these front foot charges and increase the charge per foot of
extensions constructed by City forces from $20.50 per foot to $20.80 per
foot for water facilities and to increase the charge for sanitary sewer
facilities from $17.50 per foot to $19.50 per foot, such charges to
become effective July 1, 1990, and to be incorporated into all developer
projects on which bids have not been received by that date.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed extension charges are the average contract cost per linear foot
of six and eight inch off-site and on-site water and sanitary sewer
facilities completed from June 1, 1989, through May 31, 1990. Proposed front
foot charges are one-half of the proposed extension charges. These proposed
charges have been compared with the current extension and front foot charges
as follows:
COMPUTATION OF PROPOSED CHARGES
CURRENT PROPOSED
EXTENSION EXTENSION PROPOSED
CHARGE CHARGE CURRENT FRONT FRONT FOOT
FACILITY PER FOOT PER FOOT FOOT CHARGE CHARGE
Water $20.50 $20.80 $10.25 $10.40
Sanitary Sewer $17.50 $19.50 $ 8.75 $ 9.75
Where extensions are made for developers or single customers, the charge per
foot of water and/or sewer extensions has been set as stated above under the
"proposed extension charge." Where connections are made to existing mains,
the front foot charge is calculated as one-half of the extension charge. On
this basis, the Community Facilities Policy should be amended to provide
water and sewer extension charges for facilities constructed.
The City's participation, approximately 20 percent, is in the added costs for
pipe sizes larger than that required to serve a development. These added
costs are not included in the above computation.
Similar recomputations and revisions of front foot and extension charges will
be made each six months, with the next charges to be based on completed
contract costs for the period of December 1, 1989, through November 30, 1990.
The next revision will take effect January 1, 1991.
It is necessary to provide for an orderly transition from the old front foot
charges and the old extension charges to be effective July 1, 1990. The
above recommendations have been prepared to meet that requirement.
On motion of Mayor Pro tempore Gilley, seconded by Council Member Chappell, the
recommendations, as contained in Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8694, were
adopted.
Introduced an Mayor Pro tempore Gilley introduced an ordinance and made a motion that it be
Ordinance adopted. The motion was seconded by Council Member Chappell. The motion, carrying
with it the adoption of said ordinance, prevailed by the following vote:
AYES: Mayor Bolen; Mayor Pro tempore Gilley; Council Members Zapata,

M&C G-8695 re There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8695 from the City
City of Fort Manager, as follows:
Worth Flexible
Benefit Plan SUBJECT: CITY OF FORT WORTH FLEXIBLE BENEFIT PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council approve the attached "City of Fort Worth
Flexible Benefit Plan" and authorize the City Manager to sign the document.
RArvapniiNn-
Reference is made to Informal Report No. 7419 to City Council Members,
subject: "Flex Premium Plan for Employees," dated October 3, 1989 and to
M&C G-8264, subject: Flex Premium Plan for Employees Premium Conversion
Program, dated October 10, 1989.
On October 10, 1989, the City Council approved the implementation of a
premium conversion program for eligible City employees as provided for under
Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States. Due to
concerns raised during the discussion relating to the payment of funds from
the Retirement Fund for retirees' health insurance and the qualification of
the Retirement Fund with IRS, considerable work has been done by the City's
legal staff and its outside counsel, Mr. Gary B. Lawson, to develop a plan
document that fully meets the requirements of Section 125 of the Internal
Revenue Code prior to implementing a program which converts the employee's
payment for health care from an after-tax dollar basis to the more favorable
pre-tax basis using a flexible benefit plan.
Employees will be given the opportunity to make their election to participate
or not to participate during July, with the implementation of the program
effective August 3, 1990. It is anticipated all affected employees who have
dependent coverage will want to participate in the premium conversion plan.
Under the flexible benefit plan, group medical insurance payroll deductions
for dependent coverage which are being deducted on an after-tax basis will be
deducted on a before -tax basis. This provision provides three significant
monetary benefits for affected employees: 1) overall value of their benefits
package improves; 2) taxable income is reduced; and 3) spendable income
(take-home pay) increases.
There are other provisions under Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code
which would currently permit a flexible benefit plan to also provide for the
establishment of separate flexible benefits accounts 1) to cover
out-of-pocket medical, visual, and dental care expenses, and 2) cover
dependent care expenses. Due to the complexity of these programs and the
need for a comprehensive educational program including one-on-one financial
counseling with each City employee, a recommendation on implementing these
other flexible benefits accounts will be brought back to the City Council at
a future time; the projected implementation date would be January, 1991. The
plan document would have to be slightly amended to include these additional
benefits.
Mr. Charlie
Mr. Charlie Shapard, Director of the Personnel Department, appeared before the
City Council and explained the flexible benefit plan which will allow for effected

employees who have dependent coverage to be deducted on an after-tax basis which will
result in a savings to the employee.
Council Member Chappell made a motion, seconded by Council Member Granger, that
the recommendation, as contained in Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8695, be
adopted. When the motion was put to a vote by the Mayor, it prevailed unanimously.

SUBJECT: AMENDED TAX ABATEMENT POLICY FOR INNER CITY AREAS
city areas
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution for the
purpose of taking the following action:
Amend the tax abatement policy for commercial/industrial projects to add the
following criteria and guidelines:
A. The minimum eligibility requirement for tax abatement consideration is
$1 million if a project locates within a census tract which hasat least
two of the following four criteria:
1. High unemployment (1+1/2 times the state rate).
2. 20% or more poverty.

IM&C G-8696 cont. II 3. Low Income (70% or more of the households have income at or below
80% of the city's median income).
4. Population loss equal to or greater than 20%.
B. If a street forms the border of a qualifying area meeting two of the
four criteria listed above, a project located on either side of the
border street would be eligible for consideration.
C. Abatement of a portion of the taxes would be considered for eligible
projects. The percentage of the abatement would be tied to the amount
of investment and the number of new jobs. The greater the investment
and the number of jobs, the greater the percentage of abatement.
RArvnP IIINn
It is proposed that the tax abatement policy be amended to encourage
development in blighted areas of the city which have had little or no new
investment. To identify areas needing revitalization, the criteria of
unemployment, poverty, low income and population loss were identified. Areas
which currently meet at least two of the four criteria include the near
south, southeast, northside, CBD, Como and Stop 6.
The criteria are based on the residents of an area. Except for the
unemployment data, the criteria are based on census data. The 1990 census
data are currently being collected, but not expected to be officially
reported until 1991.
The Tax Abatement Policy is used to evaluate potential tax abatement projects.
Only the City Council can approve a tax abatement agreement.
A revision to the tax abatement policy requires approval by at least
three-fourths of the Council.
Council Member Webber made a motion, seconded by Council Member McCray, that the
recommendations, as contained in Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8696, be
approved, as amended, by decreasing the minimum eligibility requirement for tax
abatement consideration to $500,000.00 if a project locates within a census track which
has at least two of the following for criteria:
1. High unemployment (1+1/2 times the state rate).
2. 20 percent or more poverty.
3. Low Income (70 percent or more of the households have income at or below
80 percent of the City's median income).
4. Population loss equal to or greater than 20 percent.
That a statement be added that the City Council reserves the right to
consider any project of less than $500,000.00 in increase value provided that
the project meets the criterias outlined above and is deemed to be in best
interest of the identified area in particular and the City in general.
M&C G-8696 adopted When the motion was put to a vote by the Mayor, it prevailed unanimously.

loans if offered.
USCRTMONt
In 1978 (M&C C-4148), the City of Fort Worth began a study of how best to
collect, treat and dispose of wastewater for the next 20 years. To assist in
funding the study, the City entered into an agreement with the EPA for the
funding of 75% of the eligible costs. The agreement required the City to
develop a facility plan in accordance with federal requirements. An approved
facility plan also was a prerequisite for additional federal funding of
future, more costly design and facility construction. A facility plan was
completed and approved in July, 1984, at an approximate cost of 1.5 million
dollars.
Since approval of the facility plan, several grants have been accepted from
the EPA for treatment plant improvements, including projects identified as
Phases I -A-1, I -B-1 through 3, and I -C-2 and 3. The projects that remain to
be constructed, as identified in the facility plan, are primarily related to
treatment plant expansion and major sewer line improvements.
The 1987 amendments to the Clean Water Act provide for a phase out of federal
grants for wastewater system construction. In lieu of federal grants, a
continuing wastewater system funding program consisting of low interest loans
was approved for implementation by the states. The State of Texas approved a
low interest program for wastewater systems in 1987 entitled the State Water
Pollution Control Revolving Fund. The program is administered by the Texas
Water Development Board (TWDB). The first year loan interest rate was 4%,
with the second year loan interest rate at 5.5%
The State will be considering approval of three Fort Worth wastewater system
projects totaling $25,582,000 at their July 1990 public hearing. The
anticipated interest rate is 6.0%, which is several basis points below the
market rate.
REQUESTED APPROVAL:
Three major wastewater system projects are planned for construction in FY
1990: Village Creek Wastewater Treatment System Improvements: Phase II -C
Expansion, Primary Treatment, and West Fork Collector, Segments 2 and 3.
These projects have been submitted to the TWDB for inclusion in the low
interest loan program. In order for these projects to be considered for
loans in FY 1991, approval of the attached Resolution requesting to be
included on the Texas Water Development Board Fiscal Year 1991 Intended Use
Plan, as certified by the Mayor, is required.

IM&C C-12386 cont. II RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute
a contract with M & D Construction Company for construction of site drainage
work at the Northside Police Sector Headquarters Horse Barns for $27,810.90.
DISCUSSION:
In July, 1989, a request was made by the Police Department to correct a
drainage problem at the existing horse barns at the Northside Police Sector
Headquarters. A preliminary estimate was made to provide drainage structures
for a cost of $20,000.
In August, 1989, a request was made by the Citizens Support Group for the
Fort Worth Police Mounted Patrol Unit to allow them to construct an
additional eight -horse barn at the site. This request further complicated
the site drainage. The design for the barn submitted by the support group
was unacceptable for a building permit.
The project was assigned to the Miscellaneous Architectural Projects
Architect for a redesign of the barn and a comprehensive design of the site
work needed to accommodate both the flooding problem at the existing barn and
the inclusion of the new stables.
Final plans of the barn were provided to the support group for their use in
March, 1990. The support group will finance the cost of construction of the
barn, but the site work is to be financed by the City.
Contract drawings for the site work were completed in April, 1990; and the
project was advertised for bids on April 26, and May 3, 1990. The estimate
for the work was $27,000.
RECEIPT OF BIDS:
Three contractors submitted bid proposals on May 10, 1990 as follows:
CONTRACTOR AMOUNT
M & D Construction Company $27,810.90

The low bid is above the estimate by $810.90 but within a reasonable range
for the work involved and is recommended to be accepted. M & D Construction
Company has complied with the City's policy on the participation of
disadvantaged business enterprises on City projects.

boards were approved by Council on June 27, 1989. In addition, contracts
with the Benbrook Water and Sewer Authority and Dalworthington Gardens were
subsequently approved by Council in August and October, 1989, respectively.
The Town of Haslet has had no previous water contract with the City of Fort
Worth; therefore, a metering station and water line had to be constructed in
order to provide them with water service. Haslet's portion of the costs of
the construction and installation of the improvements will be repaid over a
ten year period.
The wholesale water contract with Haslet is essentially the same as that
approved for other wholesale customers with minor modifications to recognize
Haslet as a new customer.

existing between the City and the developer, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of
Texas.
Therefore, it is necessary that the City Council cancel that certain document
identified as City Secretary Contract No. 17746 and declare it void and of no

TUESDAY, JUNE 26, 1990
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the assessment of a fee of $10 for participants in the Teen
Court program to cover administrative costs;
2. Approve the attached supplemental appropriations ordinance increasing
estimated receipts by $936 in the General Fund 01 and appropriations by
the same amount in the General Fund 01, Municipal Court, Account
No. 38-10-00 from increased revenues, for the period from July 1, 1990
through September 30, 1991; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Fort Worth Teen
Court, Inc., from July 1, 1990 through September 30, 1991, to make
available Teen Court to juveniles appearing before Fort Worth Municipal
Court.
DISCUSSION:
In 1987, the Junior League of Fort Worth presented a proposal to the City
Council to implement a teen court program. They agreed to fund staffing and
administrative costs, if the City would provide office facilities and a
courtroom. Teen Court is a voluntary alternative to the Municipal Court for
teenagers (less than 17 years of age) through which hours of community
service and jury terms are assessed. After receiving City Council approval,
Fort Worth Teen Court, Inc. began operation October 5, 1987.
Since its inception, about 600 defendants have participated in the program,
involving about 1,000 offenses. About 32,000 hours have been assessed, with
an average of 57 per defendant. Only about 90 participants have dropped out
of the program. The Chief Judge views this program as extremely beneficial,
given the age of the defendants.
FUNDING PROPOSAL:
The Junior League has been the primary funding source for Teen Court since
October 5, 1990. A recent change in State law allows Municipal Courts to
assess a fee of up to $10 from persons who request to participate in a teen
court program to cover administrative costs. The $10 fee is a maximum and it
can be waived or reduced at the judge's discretion. Fort Worth Teen Court,
Inc. had requested that the City begin assessing this fee, effective July 1,
1990, and making the revenue generated available to offset the cost of
operating the Teen Court.
The Teen Court Executive Director, Chief Judge and Director of Court Services
has reviewed the level of activity of the Teen Court and have estimated that
about $936 will be generated for the remainder of the 1989-90 fiscal year,
assuming the fee is implemented on July 1, 1990.. In order to credit the
revenue to Teen Court, it will be necessary for City Council to approve a
supplemental appropriation of $936 for Municipal Court. At the end of each
month, a tabulation will be made of the actual amount collected and a check
will be sent to Teen Court.
The 1990-91 proposed budget will include $3,500 as a revenue estimate from
fees and an offsetting amount for Teen Court expenditures. I.f the fees
collected exceed the amount budgeted, the City Council will be asked to
approve an additional appropriation for Municipal Court. If the fees
collected are less than $3,500, Teen Court will receive the amount actually
collected.
Attached is a copy of the agreement with Fort Worth Teen Court, Inc. and a
supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing Municipal Court expenditures
by $936 for the remainder of this fiscal year.
Implementation of this administrative fee was recommended by the City Council
Court Committee during its meeting on April 24, 1990.
FINANCING:
Upon adoption of the supplemental appropriations ordinance, sufficient funds
will be available in General Fund 01, Municipal Court Department, Account
No. 38-10-00. The expenditure will be made from Index Code 214767.

M&C C-12393 cont. 4. Authorize the City Manager to execute Change Order No. 2 to City
Secretary Contact No. 17649 with T. J. Lambrecht & Co. in the amount of
$883,476.89 providing for additional waste excavation of various
classes, additional onsite borrow material for class III earthfill,
additional pumping of contaminated storm water, and additional clearing
and grubbing.
DISCUSSION:
On January 30, 1990 (M&C C-12134), the City Council awarded a construction
contract to T. J. Lambrecht & Co. in the amount.of $4,807,417.67 for
modifications to the landfill site. This contract was amended on April 3,
1990 (M&C C-12266) to provide for the excavation of additional waste material
discovered during construction in the amount of $646,500.
As construction has progressed, additional pockets of debris and previously
landfilled waste have been discovered in the floodplain of Village Creek.
These volumes, amounting to about 67,000 cubic yards, must be excavated and
re -landfilled to comply with the terms of the landfill permit. In addition,
these volumes, together with the volumes provided for in change order no. 1,
cause a shortfall in the fill material available onsite which quantities must
be increased to fill the excavated areas.
The extensive rains in April and May have greatly increased the volume of
contaminated water which must be handled during construction. The contractor
has proposed to handle the additional water for $4,137.09.
Some additional clearing and grubbing to accommodate a relocated access road
is necessary due to the design changes after bidding. This additional charge
will amount to $1,945.80. The total of all additional excavation items
amounts to $501,612.00 at already established unit prices. The total of all
earthfill and borrow items amounts to .$375,782. The total proposed change
order amount is $883,476.89.
Although the amount of this change order will cause the normal 25% limit on
change orders to be exceeded, the Department of Law has rendered a legal
opinion that the statutory limitation does not apply to this type of contract
because it is "a procurement necessary to preserve and protect the public
health and safety of the municipality's residents." (Tx. Loc. Govt. Code,
Section 252.022)
