RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends the award of a contract to various vendors at the unit costs

BACKGROUND
Bids were requested from ten(10)vendors for an annual contract for couplings, pipe fittings,
valves, fire hydrants and other related materials for use by the Water Utilities Department. The
materials are used in the repair and maintenance of existing water and sewer lines and installation
of new service lines in order to maintain adequate water and sewer service throughout the City.
Specifications required bidders to submit pricing for 184 line items, separated into fourteen(14)
specific sections. Bids were evaluated upon the lowest total price per section, on an all or none
basis. Only bidders submitting on every item within each section were considered. Pricing is to
remain firm for the term of the contract. Specifications also required all bids involving brass
materials to quote items that are certified to be NSF61 lead-free compliant and of domestic
manufacture. Total value of this contract represents approximately a nineteen percent(190/0)
increase over last year.
Five(5)vendors responded to the solicitation. Those listed below, and recommended for award
are the lowest responsible bidders meeting all city specifications.

City Attorney's Office
Date: April 1,2011
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Tyrone E. Cooper, City Attorney �
Subject: Munro Uniform Services, LLC vs CenterPoint Energy, Inc. and CenterPoint
Energy Resources Corp.
COMMENTS
Munro Uniform Services has filed with the City of Beaumont a complaint against
CenterPoint Energy, Inc. for your consideration. Munro's has asked for a hearing seeking a
determination of the Council as to its authority or lack thereof to decide the controversy presented.
CenterPoint, of course takes a contrary position. I have attached a copy of the complaint and the
reply submitted by CenterPoint.
The Texas Gas Utility Regulatory Act (GURA) gives original jurisdiction to the City to
resolve issues involving gas utility rates, operations and services. It states specifically at
Section 103.004 TX Utilities Code as follows:
Municipal Jurisdiction To provide fair, just, and reasonable rates and adequate
and efficient services, the governing body of a municipality has exclusive original
jurisdiction over the rates, operations, and services of a gas utility within the
municipality, subject to the limitations imposed by this subtitle, unless the
municipality surrenders its jurisdiction to the railroad commission under Section
103.003.
The City of Beaumont has not surrendered original jurisdiction in these matters.
The proceeding should allow both sides an opportunity to state their position giving the
council ample opportunity for questions and answers. The Mayor, of course, will be the
presiding official. If you have any questions as to the process please feel free to call. This is
not something you as a council have addressed in the past.

Dear Mr. Chalk:
The City of Beaumont is in receipt of the attached complaint filed by Munro Uniform
Services, LLC. Munro's has requested a hearing before the Beaumont City Council seeking an
order as to the jurisdiction of the Council to address the dispute contained in their letter of January
21, 2011.
Before the Council sets this matter for a hearing, it is proper to allow CenterPoint an
opportunity to respond to the complaint in writing, if it so chooses. Once the response is received,
or there is an indication that no response will be forthcoming, a hearing will be set before the
Beaumont City Council to receive whatever evidence or testimony either side wishes to present.
You will, of course, be notified well in advance of the time and place of the hearing.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Re: Munro Uniform Services,LLC v CenterPoint Energy,Yna and CenterPoint Energy
Resources Corp.
Dear Ms. Broussard:
Please accept this letter as Munro's Uniform Services, L,L.C.'s ("Munro's") formal
complaint against CenterPoint Energy, Inc. and CenterPoint Energy Resources Corp.
(Collectively "CenterPoint") for breach of contract, violations of the Deceptive Trade Practices-
Consumer Protection Act, negligent misrepresentation, fraudulent misrepresentation, fraudulent
inducement, fraud by nondisclosure, and unjust enrichment. Munro's requests a hearing before
the Beaumont City Council where the council can enter an order properly denying jurisdiction
over this dispute and this case can move forward in the 60`h District Court in Jefferson County.
Munro's is a uniform rental company based in Beaumont, Texas with its principal place
of business at 399 N. MLK Parkway, Beaumont, Texas 77701. CenterPoint is an energy
provider doing business in the City of Beaumont. CenterPoint can be served with notice of the
requested hearing through their registered agent, C T Corporation System, 350 N. St, Paul Street,
Dallas,Texas, 75201.
On or around March 2009, the president of Munro's conveyed his concerns about
exorbitant natural gas bills from CenterPoint and inquired as to whether anything could be done
to alleviate some of the financial hardship stemming from the bills. Centerpoint responded on or
around mid-April that if Munro's used enough natural gas to qualify for "Transportation
Services" it could seek a third party supplier at a significantly reduced price. Centerpoint
however, represented that after checking Munro's usage on the account, Munro's did not qualify.
Only after repeated phone calls and a lunch meeting between Munro's and a CenterPoint
representative on May 18, 2009, did CenterPoint inform Munro's that it would actually qualify
for the Transportation Services program.
HODUTIGATION:1037701.1
MEHAFFY WEBER

There are only three possible venues for this dispute; the District Court, the Railroad
Commission, or the Beaumont City Council. This case was originally filed in the 60`h District
Court in Jefferson County on the 26"' of May 2010 because that was and is the proper venue for
this dispute. See Exhibit A. CenterPoint responded to the complaint and entered a Plea to the
Jurisdiction claiming that the Texas Railroad Commission, and not the District Court, was the
proper venue. See Exhibit B. Out of an abundance of caution, the case was non-suited and this
complaint filed to seek a proper determination of venue for this dispute. See Exhibit C.
The Railroad Commission is not the proper venue for this dispute because all of the
events giving rise to this claim occurred within the city limits of Beaumont. The Gas Utilities
Regulatory Act grants the Railroad Commission exclusive jurisdiction only in areas outside of a
municipality, or inside a municipality that surrenders its jurisdiction to the commission. Tex.
Util. Code § 1002.001. The City of Beaumont has not surrendered this jurisdiction and has
instead reserved the right to regulate the rates charged by Centerpoint Energy, its successors, and
assigns, within the city. Beaumont, Tex., Ord. No. 08-040, § 40, 5-13-08. The Railroad
Commission is therefore not the proper venue for this dispute.
The City of Beaumont is not the proper venue for this dispute because Munro's is seeking
damages from Centerpoint due to Centerpoint's deception, not a rate adjustment. Munro's is not
complaining about the equality of rates under Tex. Util. Code § 104.005 or the setting of rates
under Beaumont, Tex., Ord. No. 08-040, § 39, 5-13-08. Instead, this dispute revolves around
Munro's allegations of misrepresentation, fraud, and deceptive practices against CenterPoint as
alleged in the petition attached as Exhibit A.
Because these issues do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Railroad Commission, or the
City of Beaumont, Munro's requests a hearing before the Beaumont City Council where the
council can enter an order properly denying jurisdiction over this dispute and this case can move
forward in the 601h District Court in Jefferson County,
Sincerely,
Ernest W. Boyd

RE: Complaint of Munro Uniform Services, LLC against CenterPoint Energy, Inc. and
CenterPoint Energy Resources Corp.
Dear Ms. Broussard:
I am Associate General Counsel to CenterPoint Energy, Inc. and CenterPoint Energy
Resources Corp., d/b/a CenterPoint Energy Entex ("CenterPoint") and am responding to the
complaint against CenterPoint by Munro Uniform Services, LLC ("Munro") filed with the City
of Beaumont on or about January 21, 2011 ("the Complaint"). The Complaint alleges breach of
contract and various theories of fraud relating to CenterPoint's natural gas sales and
transportation service to Munro in the City of Beaumont. This service was performed pursuant
to rate tariffs and regulations subject to the Gas Utilities Regulatory Act as codified in Title 3,
Subtitle A of the Texas Utilities Code ("GURA"). Nevertheless, Munro requests that the City
enter an order denying that it has jurisdiction under GURA over Munro's claims against
CenterPoint.
However,the Complaint's allegations center on the administration of the company's rates
and services as those terms are defined in the GURA. Munro's invocation of common law
theories is actually an attempt to artfully plead around and deprive the City and the Railroad
Commission of their exclusive jurisdiction over those rates and services granted under the
GURA. In fact, to the extent Munro seeks a declaration that CenterPoint has not complied with
its tariffs and regulations, the City has jurisdiction over the Complaint pursuant to Tex. Utilities
RE: Complaint of Munro Uniform Services,LLC against CenterPoint Energy and CERC
Page 2
Code Section 104.001(b) for purposes of determining whether it subjected Munro to an
unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage concerning its rates and services as prohibited under
Utilities Code Section 104.004, If, on the other hand, Munro is seeking a refund of overcharges
based on a misapplication of rates or inequality of rates and services, the Railroad Commission,
rather than the City, would have exclusive jurisdiction over the Complaint pursuant to Tex.
Utilities Code Section 104.005. These remedies in the GURA are clear and exclusive and may
not be sidestepped by a plea for common law damages.
In the end, CenterPoint believes the facts will show that it did not incorrectly charge
Munro for service under its rates within the meaning of Section 104.005 of GURA such that
Munro would be entitled to a refund. CenterPoint also did not unfairly prejudice or disadvantage
Munro in the application of its rates and services in violation of GURA Section 104.004. On the
contrary, CenterPoint treated Munro the same as similarly situated persons subject to its large
volume rate schedule and rate schedules for transportation service. Thus, CenterPoint believes
that the City should accept jurisdiction over Munro's Complaint and then dismiss it.
Summary of Applicable Tariffs
Prior to August 1, 2009, Munro received natural gas service pursuant to CenterPoint's
General Service - Large Volume Rate Schedule No. GSLV-597-A on file with the City. At no
time does Munro allege that it was improperly charged for its service under that rate.
CenterPoint also offered two rates that allowed third parties to transport gas on its Beaumont
distribution system to commercial consumers. Rate Schedule T-65 applied to delivery points
where consumption exceeded 50 MCF per day and was in effect during the entire relevant
period. On April 1, 2009, Rate Schedule T-75 became available for sales volumes in excess of
25 MCF per day. The gravamen of the Complaint is that CenterPoint had an unspecified duty to
inform Munro of the potential availability of alternate gas supply service under its T-75
transportation tariff prior to May 18, 2009. As a result, Munro believes that it paid more for its
natural gas service than it ordinarily would have paid under the relevant tariffs of CenterPoint.
However, Munro fundamentally misunderstands the purpose and operation of the
transportation service available under Rate Schedule T-75. The rate is available only to
"Shippers" that acquire capacity for transportation and delivery of natural to "End-use
Customers" as those terms are defined under the General Terms applicable to the rate. Pursuant
to those General Terms, only those persons or entities that have executed a Transportation
Service Agreement acquiring capacity from the company can be "Shippers" under the tariff.
Munro would be classified as an End-Use Customer, which is defined as the person or entity
receiving gas redelivered by the company for the account of the Shipper. While an End-use
Customer could theoretically acquire capacity under the tariff and become a Shipper as well, the
RE: Complaint of Munro Uniform Services,LLC against CenterPoint Energy and CERC
Page 3
tariff was designed to serve gas marketing companies that would sell and then transport gas via
the tariff to End-use Customers such as Munro. Indeed, no end-use customer has acquired
capacity under the T-75 tariff since it became effective.
The General Terms applicable to the T-75 rate schedule establish a number of
prerequisites to service under the tariff. First and foremost, shippers must execute a
Transportation Service Agreement and their credit must be approved for the amount of capacity
sought to be acquired. Even after the Shipper is so qualified, it cannot begin transporting gas
under the tariff until it submits an Exhibit A requesting transportation service to a specified End-
Use Customer. This request must be submitted no less than 30 days before commencement of
service by the Shipper. At that point, it may begin nominating gas for sale to an End-use
Customer, but only for the next calendar month. Thus, the commencement of a valid sale and
transportation of gas under the tariff often takes more than one month.
Facts
The Complaint alleges that Munro started to inquire about alternatives to its Large
Volume Rate service beginning in March, 2009. Munro's gas purchases were clearly below the
50 MCF per day necessary to qualify for service by a supplier under the T- 65 transportation rate
and the T-75 rate would not become effective until April 1. At no time did Munro evince any
interest in becoming a shipper in its own right. Thus, if Munro had known about the new
transportation program in March, it still could not have received gas deliveries under the tariff
until May 1, 2009 at the earliest. Even this scenario assumes that Munro would have been able
to immediately identify, negotiate and sign an acceptable supply contract with a gas marketer
before April 1, 2009. If not, gas could not have flowed to them under the tariff until the
beginning of a later calendar month.
In fact, Munro did not immediately move to an alternate supplier after CenterPoint
informed it of the availability of the T-75 rate on May 18, 2009 precisely because it was
dissatisfied with the two gas marketers that were utilizing the rate at the time. Instead, it elected
to solicit other potential suppliers to enter the market so it could take advantage of as strong a
bidding process for its gas load from as many potential shippers as possible. As a result, it did
not select a new supplier until June of 2009 and thus delayed their use of transportation service
to August 1, 2009.
Conclusion
When examined in light of these facts, it is clear that CenterPoint did not subject Munro
to an unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage in the administration of its rates or services and
applied its tariffs in a non-discriminatory fashion. The T-75 rate was not effective at the time
RE: Complaint of Munro Uniform Services,LLC against CenterPoint Energy and CERC
Page 4
Munro claims to have inquired about an alternate supplier in March of 2009. Moreover, the
General Terms of the tariff would have inevitably delayed Munro's transition to alternate
supplier for at least 30 days and possibly almost two months. Finally, Munro's claims of unfair
prejudice in the administration of the T-75 program are belied by their voluntary delay in
utilizing the program to August 1,2009 after they learned of it.
As a result, CenterPoint submits that it never overcharged Munro under either its Large
Volume rate tariff or its T-75 transportation tariff and applied those tariffs and the applicable
rules and regulations thereunder to Munro in a reasonably non-prejudicial manner. Since
CenterPoint has established that it did not violate the GURA with respect to Munro, we
respectfully request that the City accept jurisdiction over the Munro's Complaint as provided in
GURA Section 104.001 and that it then be dismissed on the merits.
We appreciate the City's attention to this issue. If you have any questions about our
position, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned counsel at the letterhead address or the
telephone number given below my signature.
Very Truly Yours,
