REQUESTED ACTION: Council approval to award a contract for a licensed asbestos
consultant.
RECOMMENDATION

can conduct environmental surveys to determine the presence of asbestos containing materials and
monitor asbestos abatement projects to ensure that the abatement process meets all state and federal

If asbestos containing materials are present, an abatement is performed. City projects requiring
asbestos surveys include city owned buildings,two or more condemned residential structures located
in the same block, abandoned and hazardous commercial structures scheduled for demolition and
properties obtained for public use through right-of-way acquisition.A third party consultant provides
the environmental survey, scope of work, and monitoring of the abatement project to ensure
compliance with all Federal, State and local laws.
The proposals were reviewed and evaluated based on criteria set forth in the Request for Proposals.

A per hour price was requested for a consultant,inspector,inspector's assistant,project manager and
air monitoring technician. Burcham Environmental proposed several cost reducing measures in their
proposal. Burcham provided per hour pricing for an inspector but did not include pricing for an

consulting services.

REQUESTED ACTION: Council approval for fleet purchases through the State Cooperative

RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends authorization for the purchase of twenty(20)pursuit vehicles through
the State of Texas Cooperative Purchasing Program.
BACKGROUND
The cooperative purchasing program provides contracted prices on various types of vehicles to all state,
counties,school districts and municipal agencies within Texas. There is no charge or fee assessed to any
entity to participate in the purchasing program. Approximately 1,200 governmental entities participate
in the State's cooperative purchasing program.
The cooperative purchasing program is coordinated by the General Services Commission (GSC) in
accordance with state bidding statutes. Representatives from the GSC meet with major vehicle
manufacturers each year to discuss the model changes and features offered to major fleet consumers for
the upcoming year vehicle models. Specifications are developed and published in August for distribution
to governmental consumers and statewide vendors. The GSC solicits bids from vendors throughout the
state to furnish pricing on various types of vehicles. These vehicles include compact size cars,
intermediate size sedans,utility vehicles,police pursuit vehicles, %Z ton,%ton and 1 ton light and heavy
duty pickup trucks,vans(cargo and passenger)and medium duty cab and chassis. Specifications include
features such as 4, 6 and 8 cylinder engines, 2 and 4 wheel drive, automatic and manual transmissions,
air conditioning,ABS brake systems and AM/FM radios;these features are included in the base price of
the vehicle. Optional features such as tilt steering,cruise control,spotlights,headache racks,tool boxes,
grille guards and heavy duty bumpers are bid and offered for an additional cost.

Bids are open to any vehicle dealer on the State of Texas Bid List. Due to the volume of vehicles
requested by the State,generous concessions are offered to the dealer from the manufacturers. According
to a major manufacturer's regional representative, concessions are offered to any vendor when bidding
to a governmental entity but the amount varies subject to the number of vehicles to be purchased.
Bids are received and evaluated by the GSC. After bids are evaluated,a contracted price list is published
indicating the successful vendor for each type of vehicle and the prices of specific optional features.
Vehicles are selected from the published list and orders are submitted to GSC. Vendors generally deliver
the vehicles within 90 to 120 days.
The City's requested order includes twenty (20) full-size sedans, to be used in the Police and Fire
Departments.Standard optional equipment available for four(4)door sedans includes air conditioning,
power steering, power door locks, spotlight, rear defroster, AM/FM radio, cruise control and tilt

this evaluation,a recommendation is made to replace worn and obsolete vehicles that are no longer cost
effective to operate. Each of the vehicles recommended for purchase are replacement vehicles. The
