Agenda Item #1b
Item/Subject: Consider authorizing the City Manager to enter into a contract for the rehabilitation of
sanitary sewer manholes in the RC-04 Basin, a sub-basin of the Robinson Creek Watershed – Project No.
20-10-07.
Initiating Department/Presenter: Engineering
Presenter: Y. S. “Ram” Ramachandra, City Engineer
Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract for the
rehabilitation of sanitary sewer manholes in the RC-04 Basin, a sub-basin of the Robinson Creek
Watershed – Project No. 20-10-07.
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: During the 2016 citywide Wastewater Collection System Condition and Capacity Assessment
Study (2016 Wastewater System Study), it was revealed that a sub-basin of Robinson Creek Watershed,
named the RC-04 Basin, was contributing to excessive infiltration and inflow (I & I) to the sewer system
that flows to the Robinson Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Excessive I & I to the
wastewater system will adversely affect the treatment efficiency of the WWTP and could be to the
extent the discharge from the WWTP not meeting the regulatory compliances. One of the main reasons
for excessive I & I is due to manhole corrosion. These manholes can be rehabilitated by applying
protective coatings that are effective against corrosion and extends the life of the manholes.
Rehabilitation of deteriorated concrete manholes along the 21” trunk sewer main in RC-04 (location
map attached) will help in reducing I & I and provides additional 20 to 25 years of life expectancy.
Protective coatings will be achieved by applying two linings. First, a cement lining over a high-pressure
cleaned inner surface of the manhole will be applied to evenly cover the corroded surface. Over the
cement lining, an epoxy lining will be applied to prevent future corrosion. This method of rehabilitation
of sewer manholes in the City has been used in before. Southern Trenchless Solutions, of La Feria,
Texas, provides the needed method of cure for the manholes and has successfully worked on City
projects previously. Southern Trenchless Solutions is a participant in the Texas Association of School
Boards (TASB) BuyBoard Cooperative Purchasing program.
City staff has obtained Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) BuyBoard cooperative contract pricing
for the required services due to the historically advantageous pricing afforded by this cooperative
purchasing program. The TASB BuyBoard contract will be utilized for the purchase of the required
services in the amount of $183,644.88 from Southern Trenchless Solutions, to rehabilitate 35 manholes.
The cooperative contract meets all requirements of the Local Government Code Chapter 252 regarding
competitive bidding by Texas municipalities.
Some manholes require other minor repair work such as bottom bench rebuild, and it is included in
attached scope of work.

Agenda Item #2a
Item/Subject: FIRST READING - Consider Ordinance 2020-30 for the dis-annexation of approximately
147.33 acres located on the east side of FM 1791, near the intersection of SH 30 and FM 1791, and
known as “Parcel 15” in the attached exhibit, first reading.
Initiating Department/Presenter: Development Services
Presenter: Aron Kulhavy, City Manager
Recommended Motion: First reading.
Should the Council wish to take action on this item, an appropriate motion would be: Move to
suspend the two reading requirements of section 4.12 of the Charter and approve Ordinance 2020-30
for the dis-annexation of approximately 147.33 acres located on the east side of FM 1791, near the
intersection of SH 30 and FM 1791, and known as “Parcel 15” in the attached exhibit.
Strategic Initiative: Goal #3 - Economic Development - Promote and enhance a strong and diverse
economy.
Discussion: On October 1, 2019, City Council passed ordinance 2019-47 that completed the annexation
of an approximately 1,082-acre area of land which included approximately 147.33 acres owned by Over
and Under Properties, LLC.
During the course of the annexation proceedings property owners, including Over and Under
Properties, LLC, that had agricultural, timber or wildlife exemptions were offered annexation
agreements that would effectively keep their property from being annexed for 45 year or until such
time that the exemption became invalid due to subdivision or development the property.
Over and Under Properties, LLC declined the annexation agreement and filed suit in the 12th District
Court of Walker County, challenging the validity of the annexation. This led to multiple meetings
between City representatives, the property owner, and the firm representing them in the suit, with the
intent to negotiate an amicable agreement that would result in the owner dismissing the suit and
entering into a settlement agreement.
After several months, the terms of an agreement were reached between the City and Over and Under
Properties LLC, and on June 17, 2020, the agreement was executed. One of the conditions of the
agreement is for the City to dis-annex the 147.33-acre property within 30 days after the effective date
of the agreement.
This ordinance will accomplish the dis-annexation to comply with the condition of the agreement. Since
the date of the second reading will be outside of the 30 days after the effective date of the settlement
agreement, staff recommends waiving the two reading requirements of this ordinance and approving
the ordinance at the first reading.
