The bid tabulation is as follows : 2 Tractors 2 Flail Mowers Rotary Tractor International Harvester 23,598 No Bid No Bid Hyco Equipment 24,786 No Bid No Bid Oil City Tractors 23,850 4,222 30,708 Fogle Equipment No Bid No Bid 33,700 Nome Implement 20,950 No Bid No Bid Seabreeze Equipment 27,990 3,530 No Bid Alamo Group No Bid 3,196 21,400 Audilet Tractors No Bid 4,750 No Bid In the staff analysis of the items bid, the apparent low bid of Nome Equipment for the two tractors did not meet minimum specifications with respect to horsepower and weight requirements. Therefore, the bid of International Harvester for $23,598.00 is recommended for purchase. The bid of the Alamo Group for 2 flail mowers for $3,196 is also recommended. With respect to the tractor with the extendable articulating arm, a long and detailed bid analysis has been done by staff in the Parks Department. The apparent low bid of the Alamo Group does not meet specificaions in 13 separate areas, several of which are crucial to the application for which this tractor will be used, the mowing of drainage ditches and street right of way. Therefore, the bid of Oil City Tractors for $30,708.00 is recommended. Bids were also requested on six rotary mowers. However, some problems were noted in the specifications and the item will be re-bid. It is recommended that the resolution be approved.

Fire Protection Station #10, 3855 Washington Boulevard ZONE CHANGE: ANALYSIS Predominant surrounding land use is single family and multi- family residential. s •- The request is contrary to land use principles which state that commercial uses should locate at major intersections and not originate in mie-block. - The request will generate additional zone changes in order that adverse effects on adjacent residential uses can be made com- patible. The change to GC-MD will constitute "spot" zoning since it will grant a benefit solely to the applicant, create an incompatible land use in a residential area, and will not be in accordance with the comprehensive plan. The subject use is in a Community Development Strategy Area. Previous similar locations have demonstrated that lounges are detrimental to continued revitalization of neighborhoods while actual neighborhood uses are beneficial . PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends denial of the request for GC-MD based on: the request is contrary to land use principles which state that commercial uses should locate at major intersections and not originate in mid-block; the change to GC-MD will constitute spot zoning.

The Planning"Department has prepared a preliminary plan for improve- ments to the park system over a 10 to 15 year period. This plan is intended to serve as a mid-range "bridge" between the 5 year plans contained in the Park and Open Space Element and Recovery Action Program and the long-range, "full development" plan shown in the Park and Open Space Elements Policies and Proposals. The proposals are divided into three major categories: Park Rehabili- tation, Continued Development of Existing Sites, and New Parks; Acquisition and Development.

This plan is intended to serve as a mid-range "bridge" between the 5-7year plans contained in the Park and Open Space Element and Recovery Action Program and the long-range, "full development" plan shown in the Park and Open Space Element' s Policies and Proposals Diagram. The projects listed have been identified through the on-going comprehensive planning process and reflect the results of techni- cal analyses and input from citizens. It should be noted that cost estimates for most projects are based on past experiences with similar projects and are subject to change pending detailed, itemized estimates for each project. Land costs, in most cases, are based on an estimated cost range for acquisition of new sites in developing areas provided by the Engineering Department in 1981 and should be considered to be very rough, preliminary approxima- tions . The proposals are divided into three major categories : Park Rehabilitation, Continued Development of Existing Sites, and New Parks : Acquisition and Development. Exhibits 1 through 3 show a preliminary phased development schedule. Exhibits 4 through 6 show the locations of proposed projects. Exhibit 7 summarizes costs by type of project. A. Park Rehabilitation. 1. Neighborhood Parks. The parks listed have deficient faci- lities dating back 30 years or more and should be upgraded to provide safer facilities with greater "user appeal. " The creative play systems proposed for several of the sites consist of wood-form play equipment, pea-gravel or similar play surfaces, curvilinear sidewalks (optional) , earth berms (optional) , park benches, trash receptacles , water fountains (optional) and shelters (optional) . These systems "lia-range Park System Development Plan age 2 usually replace metal play equipment set over asphalt pads . Each system is designed based upon site conditions and neighborhood needs by a registered professional land- scape architect. Tennis courts at several sites are warped or cracked severely due to adverse soil conditions. These are to be replaced by properly engineered, new courts. Lights are not recommended for neighborhood park tennis courts. Several sites have poor drainage which allows water to stand for several days after hard rains, reducing the recreational utility of the parks. Grading, filling, and minor ditching are proposed to solve this problem. The following neighborhood park improvements are proposed: a.

Rehabilitation of Central and Alice Keith Parks, which are both community parks serving several neighborhoods, is proposed. A creative play system will be installed at Alice Keith this summer. The Central Park Community Center was renovated in 1981. A basketball pavilion was also built at Central Park in 1981. a.

It contains approximately one-half of the total system's acreage. Most of the park was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s . The attached Master Plan (Exhibit 8) itemizes the proposed $2 , 000 , 000 renovation budget. B. Continued Development of Existing Sites. Several major properties are undeveloped (Woodlands) or only partially developed (Klein, Zaharias , Riverfront, Athletic Complex) . The new Beaumont Art Museum site should be considered as a possible City recreational site although improvements are limited to passive recreation by agreement with the County. This site was originally proposed as a community park. Rogers Park is undersized for a community park and should be expanded. a.

New Parks - Acquisition and Development. 1. Neighborhood Parks. New neighborhood parks are needed to serve recreation-deficient existing neighborhoods and developing areas . Acquisition of land in developing areas prior to land cost escalation could reduce long-term acqui- sition costs. The following general budget estimate was used to obtain the $250 ,000 per park figure shown. Land Acquisition (5 to 10 acres) $ 60 , 000 Playground System 50 , 000 Sitework 50, 000 Tennis Courts 35, 000 Wading Pool 20, 000 Other Facilities - determined by neighborhood needs 35 , 000 $250 , 000 Proposed Sites: a.

New community parks of 20 to 40 acres serving clusters of 3 to 6 neighborhoods are proposed for the park-deficient developed area around Hebert High School and the newly developing Willow Creek planned community. A swimming pool is proposed at the Hebert area site to replace the Alice Keith pool. This park could be named after Dr. Martin Luther King if desired by the surrounding residents . a.

Regional Parks. The proposed Collier' s Ferry Park was originally proposed in 1953 . The park would consist of several hundred acres of Neches River floodplain north of the old City landfill. Most development would be concen- tratel along the river. Major features would include hiking trails, an access road, picnic areas , RV camping, tent camping, boat docks , restaurants (private sector) , a sports area, and nature trails or boardwalks. The estimated cost shown below is a very general estimate as no detailed cost studies have been done for this type of facility. a. Collier' s Ferry Park $4, 750 , 000 4 . Recreational Trail System. The Park and Open Space Plan proposes use of drainageways , canals, street rights-of-way, and other linear land configurations as "open space corridors. " A system of up to 36 miles of recreational trails in open space corridors is proposed. Land acquisition is not required since all corridors would be publicly owned rights- of-way or easements . a. 36 miles of trails at $15, 000 per mile $ 540 , 000 EXHIBIT 1 PARK REHABILITATION Pr!- orny �r u�ect �,ost By rriscal Year Before Beyond PROJECT TITLE Total 1984-85 1985-86 1986-87 1987-88 1988-89 84-88 88-89 A.
