Initiating Department/Presenter: Public Works Presenter: Brent S. Sherrod, P.E., Director of Public Works Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the City Manager to approve the annual purchase of various automotive parts and equipment used in repair of City vehicles from NAPA Auto Parts, 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: The City utilizes the Fleet Division’s Warehouse to inventory frequently used parts for the service, repair and/or maintenance of fleet assets. As parts are needed, they are requested from the warehouse and the associated expense is transferred from warehouse inventory to the requesting department’s budget. As it would not be cost-effective for the City to attempt to inventory every conceivable part or item that is needed for daily operations in the Fleet shop, it is necessary to also utilize a 3rd party auto parts provider to supply auto parts as needed. Since 2008, the City has utilized NAPA Auto Parts, Huntsville as its provider for auto parts, first as low- bid responder to a City bid and since 2010 as an awarded vendor under multiple Purchasing Solutions Alliance (PSA) cooperative purchasing program, administered by the Brazos Valley Council of Governments (BVCOG), with which the City has a standing interlocal agreement and is a member in good standing. The cooperative contract meets all requirements of Texas Local Government Code Chapter 252 regarding competitive bidding by municipalities. This contract affords the City advantageous percentage discounts off product shelf pricing which exceed discounts experienced prior to 2010, when the City relied on in-house competitive bidding for its automotive parts supply. BVCOG recently completed its most recent competitive solicitation and formally awarded to NAPA Auto Parts (parent company Genuine Parts Company) on March 24, 2020, for an initial term expiring March 24, 2022, with three (3) one-year renewal options resulting in a contract expiration date of March 24, 2025. The pricing discounts for the current award are identical to those most recently awarded by City Council on April 7, 2015. There is no charge for delivery of product from NAPA to the City Fleet shop, with frequent multiple deliveries required on any given day. Public Works administration reports a significant level of satisfaction with the pricing structure and the quality of product and service performance experienced with NAPA Auto Parts, Huntsville, and recommends award of this as-needed purchase agreement pursuant to the PSA cooperative contract. The rolling average annual expenditure for the past three (3) years is approximately $113,000 (most recent 12-month period totaled approximately $125,000). 5/19/2020 Agenda Item: 2b CITY COUNCIL AGENDA Agenda Item #2b Previous Council Action: City Council approval of PSA membership April 20, 2010. City Council previously approved NAPA Auto Parts purchase agreement via PSA contract April 7, 2015. Financial Implications: ☒Item is budgeted: _101-389-54040 __ In the amount of $ _549,909__ Approvals: ☐City Attorney ☒Director of Finance ☒City Manager Associated Information: • PSA cooperative contract award letter. • Excerpt from NAPA Auto Parts response to co-op solicitation reflecting applicable discounts. 3991 East 29th St. Bryan, Texas 77802 Phone: 979.595.2801, Ext. 2035 www.psabuy.org March 24, 2020 Don Lachance Genuine Parts Company dba NAPA 2999 Wildwood Pkwy Atlanta, GA 30339 Dear Mr. Lachance, Purchasing Solutions Alliance (PSA), a cooperative purchasing program of the Brazos Valley Council of Governments (BVCOG) is pleased to announce that Genuine Parts Company dba NAPA has been awarded the contract for the following products and services, based on your proposal submitted to PSA in response to Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 20-201.  Products and Services Description: Automotive Parts and Services Notice is hereby given that Genuine Parts Company dba NAPA may commence with the publicity and marketing of the contract and sales of products and services effective March 24, 2020 under terms of our contract.

Initiating Department/Presenter: Finance Presenter: Steve Ritter, Director of Finance Recommended Motion: Consider a motion authorizing the City Manager to award a supply contract bid to Walker County Hardware for hardware and associated supply items. Strategic Initiative: Goal #6 - Finance - Provide a sustainable, efficient and fiscally sound government through conservative fiscal practices and resource management. Discussion: It is necessary for City personnel to purchase small/minor tools, repair materials and garden equipment as needed for daily operations throughout the fiscal year, which are generally needed quickly to expedite repairs and the like. For this reason, Purchasing staff conducted City Bid No. 20-06 to solicit bids for these supplies/materials. Five bids were received March 25, 2020, as reflected in the attached bid tabulation. Contract pricing is based on a percentage discount off shelf price in-store or online catalog price. Staff recommends a multiple award to each respondent in order to give City personnel maximum flexibility and comparable pricing options, but only Walker County Hardware is anticipated to exceed $50,000 in annual expenditure ($64,372 expended with them in past 12-month period) and thus require City Council approval. It is anticipated that the City will also issue/extend standing purchase orders to Home Depot, Fastenal and Sherwin Williams under existing cooperative purchasing contracts they currently hold, with each expenditure projected to be less than $50,000 annually. Additionally, if determined by Building Maintenance to be in City’s operational best interests, other purchase orders may be opened as needed with the other four (4) bid respondents to accommodate City needs: Wholesale Electric of Conroe, MSC Industrial Supply, Voss Lighting and Simba Industries, with respective estimated annual expenditures of less than $10,000 each. These are referenced for informational purposes and will not require City Council action. Previous Council Action: City Council award of supply contract to Walker County Hardware on March 6, 2018.

Initiating Department/Presenter: Public Works Presenter: Brent Sherrod, P.E.; Public Works Director Recommended Motion: Move to approve BuyBoard Contract #555-18 for the rehabilitation and relining of twenty (20) manholes in the NB Davidson Watershed in the amount of $107,096.31. 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: The wastewater collection system is vital to the collection and treatment of the municipal wastewater. It is vital that the wastewater is collected and treated in an economical, effective, efficient, and safe manner. The scope of work provided in this project will allow the City to continue to improve the wastewater collection system to help meet our Mission Statement. There are twenty (20) brick manholes in the West Greenbriar area of Elkins lake, fifteen (15) of which at some point in the past were “piped through” with cured in place piping. The term “piped through” meaning that the pipe continues through the manholes with no access for cleaning or maintenance. According to TCEQ §217.55; Manholes and Related Structures; manholes with sewer lines six (6) to fifteen (15) inches may not be spaced farther than five hundred (500) feet apart. This code was written in regard to ensuring that sewer lines could be easily accessed, cleaned, and maintained. The “piped through” manholes do not allow for access every five hundred (500) feet thus placing the City of Huntsville out of compliance with TCEQ guidelines within this portion of the collection system. This created an issue in March of 2020, when crews spent nearly an entire day clearing a sewer line blockage due to limited access. An average sewer blockage usually takes under ten (10) minutes to correct once crews are on-site. All of the manholes that will be lined have active leaks in which groundwater is weeping into the manholes. This groundwater infiltration increases during rain events and results in an increased hydraulic loading on the NB Davidson Wastewater Treatment Plant, causing treatment costs to rise considering the infiltrating ground water must be pumped and treated the same as wastewater. Public Works staff evaluated available options to determine the best method to rehabilitate/repair the manholes. Most manholes need a cement lining over a high-pressure cleaned inner surface of the manhole to evenly cover the corroded surface. Over the cement lining an epoxy lining is needed to prevent future corrosion. Southern Trenchless provides the needed method of cure for the manholes and are part of the BuyBoard Cooperative Purchasing program. City staff has obtained BuyBoard cooperative contract pricing for the required services due to the historically advantageous pricing afforded by this cooperative purchasing program. The BuyBoard 5/19/2020 Agenda Item: 2d CITY COUNCIL AGENDA Agenda Item #2d contract will be utilized for the purchase of the required services in the amount of $107,096.31 from Southern Trenchless Solutions, to rehabilitate the twenty (20) manholes. The cooperative contract meets all requirements of the Local Government Code Chapter 252 regarding competitive bidding. Southern Trenchless Solutions is expected to mobilize for work within four (4) to six (6) weeks of notice to proceed and complete the manhole rehabilitation within approximately thirty (30) days.

The agreement calls for 2 types of economic development payments from the City; one, for development of jobs where the City would pay Weatherford $1,000 per job created with Walker County residents being in the jobs and two, providing a property tax rebate on increased values of certain Weatherford properties. The City has received the compliance records from Weatherford on the jobs creation provisions in the agreement and there are 88 jobs reported created for Walker County residents; therefore an $88,000 payment to Weathford is calculated. City staff has obtained information from Walker County Appraisal District on increased valuation of the Weatherford properties included in the Agreement and has calculated an amount of $4,193.15 for the property tax rebate. No budget was provided for in the original FY 19-20 Budget. It was unknown at the time of budgeting for FY 19-20 as to how many jobs Weatherford may create. Staff believes the Economic Development Fund is an appropriate Fund to use for these payments. The Fund was created in FY 2018 with an initial funding from General Fund of $760,000. The Fund as of March 31, 2020 has a Fund Balance of $794,145. There have not been any uses of monies from the Fund since its creation. The amount for $88,000 for jobs creation was discussed with the Finanace Committee at their April 21, 2020 meeting. The amount of $4,194 was not discussed with the Finance Committee as this resulted from a change in terminology in the contract using "calendar year" as opposed to "tax year" for this section of the agreement. These Budget Amendments relate to CIP projects that have been completed and which have some unused budget which is being requested to be placed in "Unallocated" in the applicable Fund. This has been standard practice. The budget in "Unallocated" is requested for use when other CIP projects within the same Fund are needing additional budget due to actual costs projected to exceed existing budget. Or, at times budget in Unallocated is requested for funding a new project. These budget amendments were discussed with the Finance Committee at their April 21, 2020 meeting.

The city will receive a pumper truck and associated equipment as well as two ATVs. This requested budget amendment will put budget in place to cover the costs per the settlement agreement. This Budget Amendment was discussed with the Finance Committee at their May 5, 2020 meeting. Additional budget is needed for various project segment additions and changes. $31K for 240 linear feet of 8" waterline along Ave. J and $51K for 400 linear feet of 8" waterline along 17th St both of which relate to improving water pressue for fire flow at the Lowman Studen Center. $93K to supplement the original budget to meet project bid prices (approx. $53K on actual bid pricing and $40K to maintain contingency during construction for unforseen items). The balance in Unallocated Budget for Water CIP R&R Fund will be $295,590 after this use if approved. This Budget Amendment was discussed with the Finance Committee at their May 5, 2020 meeting. (Note: numbers in bold are corrected since it was presented to Fin. Cmte. on May 5th after finding a tabulation error. But, the Budget Amendment amount has remained unchanged.)

S. “Ram” Ramachandra, City Engineer Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the City Manager to award the construction contract in the amount of $358,862 to Underground Construction Solutions for the construction of FY 2018-2019 Miscellaneous Waterline Replacement Project (No. 19-10-06). 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: The subject project consists of replacing deteriorated waterline segments at the following locations: A) Right-of-Way from Normal Park to Avenue Q - Replace 8” waterline B) 17th Street (University Avenue to Avenue J) – Replace 8” waterline C) 15th Street (Avenue J to Avenue I) – Replace 12” waterline D) 17th Street (Sam Houston Avenue to University Avenue) – Replace 6” with 8” waterline While items A through C are part of the originally planned and budgeted segments for replacement, item D was subsequently included in the design for replacement. This was done for the reason of a request from SHSU to improve flow and water pressure for the University campus by removing a bottleneck in the system through the upsizing of this line. Larger benefit of simultaneous replacement of segment D will be that the City need not mobilize a separate construction project in the location. A location map is attached to the agenda item. Items A through D above were included in the Base Bid. Items C and D were bid as Deduct Alternate 1 and Deduct Alternate 2 respectively. This arrangement provided flexibility to award the project construction to the extent funding is available.

S. “Ram” Ramachandra, City Engineer Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the City Manager to award the construction contract in the amount of $156,105 to Underground Construction Solutions for the construction of Sam Houston Avenue and Ave J Waterline Replacement Project (No. 19-10-06.1). 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: The subject project consists of replacing deteriorated waterline segments at the following locations: A) Sam Houston Ave. (near Fire Station #2 to Avenue I) – Replace 10” waterline with 12” waterline B) Avenue J (from 17th Street to SHSU Lowman Student Center) – Replace 8” line While item A is part of the originally planned and budgeted segment for replacement, item B was subsequently included in the design for replacement. This was done for the reason of a request from SHSU to improve flow and water pressure for the University campus. This segment B is also very old cast iron line and determined to be in a deteriorated condition. Simultaneous replacement of segment B will eliminate mobilizing separate replacement construction. A location map is attached to the agenda item. Sam Houston Avenue waterline segment was bid as Based Bid and Avenue J waterline segment was bid as Add Alternate 1. This provided the flexibility of awarding the construction contract to only Sam Houston Avenue should bids were to come much higher the funding availability.

As requested by the City, the bids have been checked for completeness and accuracy. After reviewing the bids, Underground Construction Solutions is the lowest responsive/responsible bidder with a total Base Bid of $125,410.00 and a Total Base Bid + Alternative 1 of $156,105.00. The bid bond for Underground Construction Solutions has been reviewed and checked. We have found that they have performed this type of work previously and should be capable of completing this project. We contacted references for Underground Construction Solutions and received positive feedback. We also contacted the Owner of Underground Construction Solutions for a question & answer type conversation regarding the scope of the project. One bid is recommended to be rejected due to not having the proper bid sheets (Addendum #1 bid sheets). As stated in Section 4 of the Special Instructions to Bidders, “each bid must be submitted on the prescribed form.” This project may be awarded either for base bid only or base bid plus alternate #1. It is our recommendation that the project be awarded to Underground Construction Solutions for the amount of $125,410.00 (Base Bid without alternate) or $156,105.00 (Base bid + Alternate #1). If you should have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, Tory Miller, P.E.

Signed, Sealed and dated this 27th day of April, 2020 Agenda Item #4a Item/Subject: Consider authorizing the City Manager to enter into an amendment to the Chapter 380 Agreement with Weatherford U.S., L.P. Initiating Department/Presenter: City Manager Presenter: Aron Kulhavy, City Manager Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the City Manager to enter into an amendment to the Chapter 380 Agreement with Weatherford U.S., L.P. Strategic Initiative: Goal #3 - Economic Development - Promote and enhance a strong and diverse economy. Discussion: In September of 2018, the City entered into an agreement with Weatherford U.S., L.P for the addition of jobs and capital investment to their facility here in Huntsville. In summary, in exchange for Weatherford investing $4 million in upgrades to facilities, $20 million in machinery and equipment, creating 150 new jobs, retaining 110 existing jobs, and annexing the remainder of their property into the City limits, the City waived permit fees, provided a grant equivalent to the new property taxes generated from the project on a sliding scale over a 15-year period, and a cash grant for jobs equivalent to $1,000 per Walker County resident up to $150,000. Weatherford has submitted their first annual report as required under the agreement. This report indicated there were 88 new jobs created for Walker County residents resulting in an $88,000 payment from the City. As the City and Weatherford were reviewing the annual report, a couple of minor changes were determined necessary in the original agreement. The first change, in section 3.1.3, clarifies that payments shall be made on the tax rebate for the calendar year on the attached schedule and not the tax year. The second change, in section 3.2, changes the dates of the payments from 2023 until 2034 to comply with section 3.1.3 of the agreement and eliminates some conflicting language with other provisions in the agreement. Staff has met with representatives from Weatherford and they concur with the proposed changes to the agreement. Previous Council Action: Weatherford was granted this Chapter 380 agreement in September of 2018. Financial Implications: There is no financial impact associated with this amendment.

Initiating Department/Presenter: City Manager Presenter: Aron Kulhavy, City Manager Recommended Motion: Staff recommends Council take no action on this item. Should the Council wish to direct the City Manager to remove the tree, a proper motion would be to direct the City Manager to remove the tree at the Wynne Home. Strategic Initiative: Goal #1 - City Appearance - Provide policies, amenities, and events that enhance the City’s already beautiful and historic natural environment. Discussion: Marianito Bitara has submitted a request for the City to remove a tree, or a portion of a tree at the Wynne Home. Bitara claims the tree is leaning towards his house located just north of the Wynne Home, located at 1003 Avenue O. Upon receipt of the original request to remove the tree, staff visited the site to look at the feasibility of removing the tree in question. While the tree can be removed for under $1,000, doing so would require damaging the gardens at the Wynne Home or accessing Bitara’s property and likely damaging a shallow water line under his unpaved driveway. While the tree cannot be easily removed, City staff looked at the condition of the tree. The tree is leaning to the northeast, away from Bitara’s property and is in good health. Bitara also has the option to remove the branch of the tree over his property line at his own expense. As the tree does not pose an imminent threat to the property, staff recommends that the tree remain, and staff will continue to monitor this tree in the future. This item was discussed in more detail in the weekend update from April 24, 2020. A copy of this memo is attached along with a location map and picture depicting the tree. Previous Council Action: The Council has not taken any action on this item. Financial Implications: ☒Item is budgeted: There are adequate funds in park maintenance to cover the expense of the removal of the tree.

This main branch is leaning towards my mother's house; its center of gravity clearly predisposes this to hit the house, specifically my son's bedroom. Part of this tree had been cut by the city before. But over time, the remaining branch has grown and has become a safety risk. The stump of the previously cut part is now rotting, and thus its twin half is at risk of getting diseased as well. Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser.
