GENERAL BUSINESS
1. Consider approving a contract for Towing Services - Impounding of Uninsured Vehicles.
Administration recommended the award of a contract to TNT Wrecker Service of Beaumont,
Texas.
On May 19, 2009, Council approved amending Section 26-41 of the Code of Ordinances to
allow for towing and impounding of vehicles that are not insured or otherwise covered for
financial responsibility in accordance with state law. The amendment is effective July 15,
2009.
To effectively implement the program, it was determined that the City would enter into a
management agreementwith a local towing company whereby the towing company would be
notified by Police Officers when it was determined that a vehicle was to be towed due to lack
of insurance. The towing company would be responsible for towing the vehicle, storing the
Page 2 of 11 Minutes-July 14,2009
vehicle, collecting related fees, releasing the vehicle once the owner had proof of financial
responsibility,and submitting a monthly report required by the City for monitoring the program.
Request for Proposals were solicited from fourteen (14) vendors for towing services for
impounding of uninsured vehicles and three (3) responses were received. Vendors were
requested to provide information on their experience with similar contracts, equipment,
personnel, data control software and the size of the auto storage facility. This information was
evaluated by a panel of City employees.
There is no cost to the City related to this contract.
Councilmember Beaulieu moved to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT THE CITY MANAGER BE AND
HE IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO EXECUTE A CONTRACT WITH TNT WRECKER SERVICE OF
BEAUMONT, TEXAS, FOR TOWING SERVICES/IMPOUNDING OF UNINSURED VEHICLES.

2. Consider approving a contract for the construction of a dog park to be located at Ida Reed
Park.
Administration recommended the award of a contract to U.S. Fence&Gate, Inc., of Orange,
Texas, in the amount of $53,378.
The City's first dog park will be located on the north side of Ida Reed Park at 2348 Louisiana
Street. The dog park will have an eight(8)foot vinyl-coated chain link fence surrounding it with
an eight(8)foot aluminum ornamental fence running along the north side of the park or parallel
to Interstate 10. The dog park will have two areas to separate large and small dogs. Staff has
worked with the local Neighborhood Association and dog owners in the development of the
park. Other improvements will include water stations and entry/exit transfer areas. The
department is considering the use of alternate surfaces and wood chip mulch as a base to
facilitate cleaning. The existing playground and a large play
area will remain available to neighborhood children.
Funds are available for this expenditure in the Capital Reserve Fund.
Councilmember Coleman made a motion to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT THE BID SUBMITTED

Resolution 09 - 206
Virginia Jordan, President of the Oaks Historic District Neighborhood Association,along with
other members of the Neighborhood Association, presented the City of Beaumont with a
$10,000 check for the Dog Park.
3. Consider authorizing the City Manager to enter into contracts for the purchase of homes and
the provision of relocation assistance for owners of houses flooded during Hurricane Ike in
conjunction with the approved Hazard Mitigation Grant Program's Acquisition and Demolition
Program.
Administration recommended approval.
As a result of Hurricane Ike, some homes located within the floodplain, east of Pine Street,
received flood damage. Because the City's floodplain land use ordinance requires that
homes in the floodplain that are substantially damaged be elevated prior to repair, many
residents have found elevating their homes and repairing them difficult if not impossible.
In order to provide relief to the residents and avoid future repetitive flooding of these homes,
the City applied for Hazard Mitigation funds to acquire and demolish these homes. The City
was successfully awarded this grant for acquisition and removal of sixteen (16) homes. To
date, we have inspected and secured appraisals for each of the sixteen (16) homes and
made purchase and relocation offers. Please note that the purchase offer amounts are based
on pre-storm appraisal values, less any proceeds from insurance and/or other disaster relief
assistance. The amount of relocation assistance is based on the grant formula and differs,
depending upon the resident's desire to secure rental housing or purchase a new home.
Address Owners Name Purchase Amount Relocation Amount
2950 Tailiaferro Henry Seale $45,000.00 $5,250.00
3490 Taliaferro Herbert & Shirley Grogan $44,050.89 $0.00

485 Manning Howard LeBlanc $35,000.00 $5,250.00
445 Manning Horace & Lilly Dean $5,000.00 $0.00
Total: $189,550.89 $19,750.00
FEMA Grant Amount(at 75%) $142,163.17 $14,812.50
Local CDBG Match Amount (at 25%) $47,387.72 $4,937.50
Page 4 of 11 Minutes-July 14,2009
This grant provides seventy-five percent(75%)of the costs,with a required twenty-five percent
(25%) local match, which will be paid through a reallocation of 2008 Program Year CDBG
demolition funds. It is expected that additional purchase contracts will be forthcoming as
offers are accepted by the homeowners. Once these properties are acquired, the City will
demolish these homes and deed restrict the properties, to prevent future flooding losses.
These costs will also be covered by the grant.
Funds this local match are available through the 2008 Program Year CDBG Budget.
Mayor Pro Tern Wright made a motion to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT THE CITY MANAGER BE
AND HE IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO EXECUTE CONTRACTS WITH THE OWNERS OF HOMES FLOODED
DURING HURRICANE IKE FOR THE PURCHASE OF THOSE HOMES AND THE PROVISION OF
RELOCATION ASSISTANCE THROUGH THE HAZARD MITIGATION GRANT PROGRAM'S ACQUISITION

4. Consider approving Change Order No. 2 forthe Rolfe Christopher Pavement Improvement
Project.
Administration recommended approval of Change Order No. 2 in the amount of$226,306.93
for widening the roadway pavement of Rolfe Christopher between Florida Avenue and the US
69, 96 & 287 Frontage Road.
When Rolfe Christopher Street was initially identified as a project in the FY 2004 Capital
Program,the proposed street cross section was four lanes(two lanes in each direction)with
left turn lanes and a median.Additionally, bike lanes would be installed on Rolfe Christopher
from Florida to East Virginia. During the development of the plans for the project,
representatives from Lamar University metwith the City to discuss the project. Based on those
discussions the street cross section was changed to two lanes (one lane in each direction)
with left turn lanes at certain intersections, bike lanes and a median.
Due to the high number of pedestrians that would be crossing and/or adjacent to Rolfe
Christopher, a traffic calming measure was instituted that would impact vehicle speeds.The
traffic calming method implemented on the project between Florida Avenue and US 69, 96,
&287 was eleven (11)foot traffic lanes.The recommended design guidelines for traffic lane
widths range from ten to twelve feet depending upon the type of roadway facility.Although the
eleven foot traffic lanes are within design guidelines, this lane width, coupled with curbs on
both sides, is perceived by the driver as being narrow which results in drivers reducing their
speed.
Page 5 of 11 Minutes-July 14,2009
After completion of the street and curb installation on the section of Rolfe Christopher between
Florida Avenue and US 69, 96 & 287, representatives from Lamar University drove this
section and felt that the roadway appeared to be too narrow.A request was made to the City
requesting that this section of the project be widened. Upon reviewing their request, it was
recommended and agreed upon to widen the traffic lanes in this section from eleven to
fourteen feet. It should be noted that the design of the project took into consideration the
potential widening of the street for additional traffic lanes in the future.
Change Order No. 2 will increase the estimated quantities for the saw cutting and removal of
existing concrete, roadway excavation, backfill embankment, block sodding, base course,
concrete pavement and curb, and pavement striping. This Change Order in the amount of
$226,306.93 will increase the contract amount to $5,917,405.51 .
Funds are available in the Capital Program.
Councilmember Pate made a motion to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT THE CITY MANAGER BE
AND HE IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO EXECUTE CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 IN THE AMOUNT OF
$226,306.93, THEREBY INCREASING THE CONTRACT AMOUNT TO $5,917,405.51 FOR THE
ROLPHE CHRISTOPHER PAVEMENT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT(SPUR 380-EAST VIRGINIA STREET,

5. Consider authorizing the City Manager to increase the Proposed Surface Water Treatment
Plant Improvement Phase I Project for "extra work".
Administration recommended approval of increasing the Proposed Surface Water Treatment
Plant Improvements Phase I Project by $209,871.72.
Improvements at the Water Treatment Plant include renovating the pulsators, and building new
chlorine and chemical feed facilities. The pulsators were originally sedimentation basins
constructed in 1948. During the 1980's, the basins were converted into the pulsators. The
project will repair the numerous cracks in the reinforced concrete walls and floors. The number
of cracks in the walls is more severe than previously determined during the design phase of
the project. The bid quantities on the project is set up for all three pulsators, however the
quantities were reached in the first pulsator. The project also includes miscellaneous
mechanical and electrical improvements including a building with provisions for two (2)
150OKW Caterpillar generators. The changes will improve the future operation, provide
emergency backup power, increase the efficiency of the Water Treatment Plant, and help the
City meet required State and Federal regulations.

7. Consider authorizing the award of contracts for Emergency Standby Products, Services and
Debris Removal.
Administration recommended the award of contracts to DRC Emergency Services of Mobile,
Alabama, Byrd Brothers Emergency Services of Wilson, North Carolina and Ceres
Environmental Services of Houston, Texas.
A pre-positioned emergency standby products, services and debris removal contract provides
the City with the resources needed in the event of a disaster. Seven (7) bids were received
and opened on Thursday, June 4, 2009 for the Emergency Standby Products, Services and
Debris Removal Contract to be utilized in the event of a disaster. Specifications allow the
contract to be awarded to one or more vendors as determined by the City on a primary,
secondary and tertiary basis. The contract will be awarded for a three(3)year term with the
possibility of three (3) one (1) year extensions.
Vendors were required to have performed at least five (5) debris removal and disposal
operations in excess of 1,000,000 cubic yards, and provide references for the communities
where these operations took place. Bidders were also asked to provide information outlining
their company's background,organizational chart, list of subcontractors,technical experience,
financial resources,training and professional experience, references and mobilization plans.
It was determined that the company offering the best value to the City was DRC Emergency
Services of Mobile, Alabama. They have an extensive background in disaster debris
management and the financial resources to insure that the emergency standby products and
subcontractors will be available to the City in the event of a disaster. DRC Emergency
Services is recommended as the City's primary Contractor.
Page 8 of 11 Minutes-July 14,2009
A secondary contract with Byrd Brothers Emergency Services of Wilson, North Carolina is
recommended and would be utilized in the event DRC Emergency Services could not provide
the requested products and services. This vendor also has the financial resources and
background to provide the products and services should it be required. In addition a contract
with a third vendor, Ceres Environmental Services of Houston,Texas is recommended in the
event additional disaster services are required.
The budgetary impact of awarding these contracts is contingent upon the occurrence of a
declared disaster and the degree of resources needed at that time.
