Agenda Item #1c
Item/Subject: Consider the approval of a City uniform rental and cleaning services for a term of two
(2) years plus one (1) two-year renewal.
Initiating Department/Presenter: Public Works
Presenter: Brent S. Sherrod, P.E., Director of Public Works
Recommended Motion: Move to approve the award of City uniform rental and cleaning services to
Cintas at the unit prices as highlighted in the attached tabulation for a term of two (2) years plus one
(1) two-year renewal.
Strategic Initiative: Goal #1 - City Appearance - Provide policies, amenities, and events that enhance
the City’s already beautiful and historic natural environment.
Discussion: The City of Huntsville typically provides City crews with work uniforms, primarily for safety
and identification purposes. The uniforms are sturdy and intended to provide safety for employees
working in or around potentially harmful environments (i.e., City Water & Wastewater (WW) plants),
and to provide a means for citizen recognition of these employees as City personnel while performing
services in the community (i.e., water meter reads/replacements, Water/WW repairs). Currently, the
City provides uniform rental/cleaning services for approximately 90 City employees, with current
annual uniform expenditure of approximately $50,000 within Public Works and Parks Departments.
The City issued Bid No. 20-02 for a term agreement to provide for the uniform rentals and associated
cleaning services. Bid specifications provide for 12 pairs of jean/denim pants and 12 button-down or
polo style shirts, with weekly cleaning/garment delivery. The 12 garment sets per employee provides
for a weekly supply of clean uniforms plus two spares, in the event an employee is required for weekend
duty.
The bid notice was published in the City’s newspaper of record and posted on the City website in
accordance with Purchasing policy, in addition to direct email notices provided to interested parties.
Only one (1) bid response was received as reflected in the attached bid tabulation, that being from
Cintas, the City’s current uniform provider. A second bidder, a participant in the City’s previous uniform
bid, intended to bid but delivered its response late and to an incorrect location, rendering the bid non-
responsive and thus was unopened. While only one bid response was received, staff believes the Cintas
bid to be highly competitive, as all unit costs bid are identical to, or in the case of polo shirts, lower
than, that awarded by City Council to Cintas in May 2015 as the lowest-bidder in the previous uniform
solicitation. The jackets referenced in bid tabulation are not included in standard uniform but may be
purchased by employees at their own expense if they wish; however, the City provides a more reflective
and weatherproof jacket for field personnel which are purchased from another vendor.
The bid specifications also included rental and cleaning services for building entry mats (currently used
at Library, City Hall and Solid Waste) – the unit prices bid by Cintas for mat rentals are also identical to
that awarded by City Council in May 2015.

Agenda Item #1d
Item/Subject: Consider authorizing the award of a bid for the purchase and installation of a flexible
liner for the Spring Lake Water Plant backwash tank.
Initiating Department/Presenter: Public Works
Presenter: Brent S. Sherrod, P.E., Public Works Director
Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the award of a bid to AmTech Coatings LLC in the amount
of $60,000 for the purchase and installation of a flexible liner for the Spring Lake WP backwash tank.
Strategic Initiative: Goal #4 - Infrastructure - Ensure the quality of the City utilities, transportation and
physical structures so that the City’s core services can be provided in an effective and efficient manner.
Discussion: City Purchasing staff opened a bid on December 23, 2019 for the purchase and installation
of a flexible liner for the Spring Lake WP 35,000-gallon concrete backwash tank. One bid was received
from AmTech Coatings LLC in the above-referenced amount of $60,000. The bid notice was published
in the City’s newspaper of record in accordance with Purchasing policy and Texas statute, and posted
on the City website and external bidding platforms.
The backwash tank was constructed in 2008 and the exterior walls have developed cracks which allow
seepage of water from the tank, cracks which are increasing in severity over time. It is believed that
the cracks are primarily attributable to the original construction quality and to the shifting nature of
the fine sand soil upon which the tank sits. While the tank leaks do not pose any danger to the
surrounding environment, the resultant erosion is detrimental to the integrity of the concrete and
continued leakage could result in the tank not passing the required annual inspection by the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). For this reason, Public Works and Purchasing staff
developed a bid for a liner which will seal the tank, and which is flexible to allow the liner to “move”
with the tank as the supporting soil shifts over time.
The product bid by AmTech appears to be particularly well-suited to this application, and Public Works
management personnel have verified references for the company with the consensus opinion being
that AmTech offers a high-quality product and very reliable installation. The liner is warranted against
defective materials or workmanship for seven (7) years. AmTech Coatings LLC is recommended by
Public Works management staff for this award as Public Works management believes that installation
of this liner will improve the tank to its best condition since construction and will substantially enhance
the tank’s useful life.

Item/Subject: Consider adopting Ordinance No. 2020-14 amending Speed Zones on State Highway 75
in the City of Huntsville City limit to establish a School Zone adjacent to Classical Academy of Huntsville.
First Reading
Initiating Department/Presenter: Engineering
Presenter: Y. S. “Ram” Ramachandra, City Engineer
Recommended Motion: First reading-no action required
Should the Council take action to waive the two reading requirement: Move to adopt Ordinance No.
2020-14 amending Speed Zones on State Highway 75 in the City of Huntsville City limits to establish a
School Zone adjacent to Classical Academy of Huntsville.
Strategic Initiative: Goal #4 - Infrastructure - Ensure the quality of the City utilities, transportation and
physical structures so that the City’s core services can be provided in an effective and efficient manner.
Discussion: Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has approached the City with a proposal to
amend the existing Speed Zone Ordinance for State Highway 75 within the City limit.
Existing Speed Zone Ordinance, Ordinance No. 2011-15, was adopted in January 2011. Only amendment
that is being proposed to the existing Speed Zone Ordinance is to establish a School Zone adjacent to
the newly commissioned Classical Academy of Huntsville on State Highway 75 South (7174 State Hwy
75 South). Length of the school zone segment will be approximately 2,200 linear feet, as shown in the
attached Location Map. Existing posted limit is fifty (50) miles per hour. The School Zone speed limit
will be thirty-five (35) for the hours assigned through sign and/or flashing beacons.
Other than establishing a new School Zone as stated above, there will be no other changes to the
existing posted speed limits along State Hwy 75 in the City Limits.
TxDOT will install and maintain the Speed Zone signs and flashing beacons at this location upon City
Council’s adoption of the proposed Ordinance No. 2020-14, which officially recognizes the proposed
school Zone for enforcement purposes.
Previous Council Action: The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2011-15 establishing speed zones
along State Hwy 75 within the City Limits.

Ram,
Attached is a speed zone strip map showing a proposed school zone for SH 75 and a copy of the existing speed zone
ordinance approved for SH 75 in Huntsville. I can have my crews assemble and install school zone flashers. I can’t
activate them until the City approves the speed zoning.
I’ve also attached a KMZ file showing where we propose to place the signs.
If you agree with the proposed school zone, what do you need to go to Council to get it approved?

Agenda Item #3b
Item/Subject: Consider authorizing the City Manager to amend a lease agreement with Sealark
Investments, LLC for an oil, gas, and mineral lease covering lands situated in Walker County, Texas.
Initiating Department/Presenter: Community & Economic Development
Presenter: Aron Kulhavy, City Manager
Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the City Manager to amend a lease agreement with
Sealark Investments, LLC for an oil, gas, and mineral lease covering lands situated in Walker County,
Texas to extend the primary term for two years.
Strategic Initiative: Goal #5 - Finance - Provide a sustainable, efficient and fiscally sound government
through conservative fiscal practices and resource management.
Discussion: The City of Huntsville entered into an oil, gas, and mineral lease for property located at the
northeast corner of the City of Huntsville transfer station property in November of 2017. The company
who leased the property, Sealark Investments, has not begun drilling operations at the site and has
requested an additional two-year extension on the lease. For consideration of the extension, Sealark is
proposing a payment of $50/acre for a 2-year period, or about $1,600 for the entire lease area. This
negotiated payment is comparable with the bonus payment the City received at the beginning of the
lease which was $50/acre per year. This extension was reviewed by the legal counsel who assisted with
the original lease and they are comfortable with the language in the extension and the financial
consideration.
Below is language from the original lease that provides additional information on the overall estimated
compensation for the City and additional information on the overall drilling operation.
The City has been approached by Searlark Investments, a company interested in pursuing an oil and gas
lease covering the City’s mineral interest in 32 acres located at the northwest corner of the transfer
station. Sealark intends to drill a gas well on the property immediately north of the City’s transfer station
to tap into a projected pocket of natural gas under several properties in the area. The gas well will not
be located on City property and the City’s property will not be disturbed during the erection of the well.
In exchange for the oil and gas lease, Sealark will provide a $150/acre bonus and a 3/16th royalty.
In addition to the mineral lease, Sealark wishes to acquire an easement for a pipeline parallel to Moffett
Springs Road, provided the gas well is successful. This pipeline easement will be located in an existing
easement for a gas line located along the western edge of the transfer station property. In exchange for
the pipeline easement, Sealark will pay the City $50 per linear rod (about $12,000). Sealark will also
need a 50’ by 50’ meter site located on the transfer station property and will compensate the City $2,500
for this site.
Staff met with Sealark to discuss the lease and potential concerns with the transfer station being the
site of the closed City landfill. Staff let Sealark know of the potential hazards in locating on the property
and both sides agreed to let Sealark assume all responsibilities for permitting and approval from the
1/21/2020
Agenda Item: 3b
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
Agenda Item #3b
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for any work to be completed on the transfer station
site.
Previous Council Action: The City of Huntsville approved an oil and gas lease for the property in
October 2017. The City of Huntsville previously leased 50 acres that included the subject property in
2005 for oil and gas. The previous lease expired due to lack of use.
Financial Implications:
☒Item is estimated to generate additional revenue: Oil and gas bonus: $1,600 @ $50/acre
If an economic well is drilled, COH would receive the following
Pipeline ROW: $12,000 at $50/rod
Meter Site: $2500.00
Based on proposed unit size, COH would have about a 6.05% Unit Royalty Interest.
If well produces .50MMCF/day
0.5MMCF/day x$ 2.75 gas price = $41,250 x 0.0605 = $2,495/month for COH
If the well's reserves are 1.0BCF (1 billion cubic feet), thru the life of the well, COH's total production
revenue could approach $175,000.
