(Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: Request by Entex for Increase in Residential and Small Commercial
Gas Rates
On September 28, 1984, Entex filed for an increase in its residential and
small commercial rates within the City of Beaumont. The proposed increase
Will generate approximately $1,577,944 in additional revenues to the company,
an increase of approximately 9.6 percent over current annual revenues.
The City Council has original jurisdiction over these rates. In the past,
Entex has requested a rate increase on an annual basis. Based on the size of
this requested increase, it is recommended that a consultant be retained to
examine and analyze this request. To that end, we will request proposals
from qualified rate consultants and recommend the hiring of a consultant to
you in the future.
This resolution would authorize suspending the effective date of the rate in-
crease in order to give staff time to review the request. Further, a public
hearing would be set for Tuesday, November 13, 1984. All reasonable costs in
connection with review of the proposed rate increase will be assessed to Entex
and eventually paid by the rate payers.
It is recommended that this resolution be approved.

Subject: Final Payment for Prince Street Outfall
On January 3, 1984, the City of Beaumont awarded a contract to Bella Company
in the amount of $166,187.57 for construction of the Prince Street Outfall
extension. This project, the second of a three-phase project, extended a pre-
viously-constructed 72-inch storm sewer along Prince Street to the west side
of Magnolia. When the entire system is complete, it will not only serve as an
outfall for Concord Street, but will also relieve flooding in the areas ad-
jacent to Prince Street. The final cost of $165,988.51 is $199.06 (0.12
percent) under the bid price. The contractor completed the project in 29 of
the anticipated 30 working days on or about May 31, 1984. Acceptance and
final payment were delayed pending receipt of supplemental
plemental paychecks pursuant to the Davis-Bacon Act, since this oissaafederally-
funded project. These items have been received and approved.
Bella Company exceeded the City's Minority Business Enterprise requirements
by utilizing Gatlin Asphalt Company to provide a total of approximately
$25,700 in materials and labor, or 15.5 percent of the total project amount.
All monies for this project came from the Community Development Block Grant
program. No funds from the City of Beaumont were used.
The Engineering Division has inspected the project and it was found to have
been satisfactorily constructed according to the plans and specifications.
It is recommended that this resolution be approved, and final payment made
to the contractor in the amount of $8,299.43.

Subject: St. Elizabeth/Gaylynn - IH-10/11th Street Engineering Services
The St. Elizabeth/Gaylynn Drainage Improvement Project includes additional
storm sewers and larger catch basins to relieve flooding in over 230 acres
in the vicinity of St. Elizabeth Hospital and Gaylynn Center. The IH-10/
11th Street Project includes similar improvements over 350 acres in the
vicinity of the IH-10 and 11th Street intersection. The similar nature of
the improvements, their close physical relationships, and their relatively
small size make them logical projects for combination and assignment to a
single engineering firm.
Nine local engineering firms have submitted proposals for necessary services
for these projects. The review of the proposals includes hydraulic and con-
struction knowledge, work load, and personnel to identify firms with adequate
resources to perform the work. Recent work performed for the City is also

`subject: Minglewood, 23rd Street North, and 5th Street Engineering Services
The Minglewood Drainage Improvement Project consists of enlarging and adding
Inlets to reduce drainage constraints in the Minglewood subdivision. The
23rd Street North Project will examine work in the vicinity of Taft and Lucas
to connect the 23rd Street Ditch to Drainage District 6 Ditch No. 103. The
5th Street Project includes storm sewer improvements to relieve flooding in
the vicinity of Blanchette, Bolivar and Corley between 5th and San Jacinto.
The projects are combined for consideration in a single engineering services
agreement due to their relatively small sizes.
Eight proposals were received for the Minglewood and 5th Street Projects.
Nine proposals were received for the 23rd Street North Project. The review
of the proposals includes hydraulic and construction knowledge, work load,
and personnel to identify firms with adequate resources to perform the work.
Recent work performed for the City is also reviewed in order to distribute
work in an equitable manner among qualified firms. The following firms pro-
vided proposals and appear to be best qualified to perform the services:

A pre-bid conference to discuss the project with prospective bidders was held
September 12, 1984. Bids were received for project construction on Monday,
September 17, 1984. Eight bids ranging from a low of $153,601 to a high bid
of $214,115 were received. The bids received are listed below:
A.W. Busby Contracting, Inc. $153,601.00
Russ Miller Construction Co. 169,050.20
Bella Co. 170,017.00
Gatlin and Sons , Inc. 179,614.75
Williams Brothers Construction Co. 183,287.00
Mason Construction 202,112. 10
Trotti and Thomson Co. 212,232.25
Baytown Construction Co. 214,115.00
The original estimate was based on scarifying and recompacting the existing
material , adding 3 inches of base material and compacting, then adding
1-1/2 inches of asphaltic concrete. To avoid changes in grade which might
cause drainage problems , the second alternative rehabilitation standard was
used. This is to scarify the existing material , lime stabilize to a 6-inch
depth, compact, and add 1-1/2 inches of asphaltic concrete. This , coupled
with very competitive bidding, accounts for the large difference in cost esti-
uate and bid price.
A. W. Busby Contracting, Inc. will meet their Minority Business Enterprise
obligation by subcontracting the pipe laying and shell driveways operation
with James Holmes Enterprises. The MBE participation is estimated to consti-
tute 11 percent of the contract amount.
No monies from City funds have been used on this contract.
It is recommended that this resolution be approved.

Subject: Gulf States Utilities Company Rate Increase Request
Gulf States Utilities Company presently has a case pending before the Public
Utilities Commission to establish a fuel adjustment factor substantially re-
lated to the expiration of their long-term gas purchase contract with the
Exxon Corporation. This so-called Step "II" case could have a substantial
Effect on electric utility rates in Beaumont.
We believe that the City should participate with other cities in this area
in the presentation of testimony before the Public Utilities Commission con-
cerning the setting of this fuel factor. To that end, we are requesting a
resolution be passed authorizing the City of Beaumont to pay a proportionate
share related to the employment of Don Butler, an Austin attorney who
specializes in rate matters, and R. W. Beck and Company, the rate consultants
who presented testimony on the fuel related portions of Gulf States ' recently-
completed rate case.
In the past, consultants have been hired and paid for by individual cities
and the city who hired the consultant was responsible for obtaining reimburse-
ment from Gulf States Utilities. In this case, we are proposing that each
city pay a proportionate share of the total expenses prorated on a customer
basis. A resolution similar to the one proposed here has been passed by Port
Arthur, Nederland, Groves, Port Neches and Orange. The City's share of all
rate case expenses may be recovered from Gulf States Utilities.
It is recommended that this resolution be approved.

Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: Stacy Smith v. The City of Beaumont, Docket No. E-118206
This lawsuit is the result of an auto collision in April , 1983, involving a
Beaumont police vehicle and a private vehicle operated by Stacy Smith. The
police vehicle was on an emergency call and Ms. Smith's vehicle entered an
intersection on a green light. The impact of the collision caused the police
vehicle to strike Bruce Wiggins Sporting Goods Store causing damage to the
structure. The amount of the damage to the store, which was paid by Employers
Casualty Company, the City's insurer, was $5,367.77. The estimated damage to
the police vehicle was $4,183.76.
Stacy Smith subsequently filed suit against the City of Beaumont for the
damages suffered by her as a result of the officer's alleged negligence.
The City of Beaumont, of course, filed counterclaim to recover for the pro-
perty damage sustained by the city of Beaumont and the monies paid to Bruce
Wiggins in satisfaction of its damages. Since the filing of these suits, it
appeared that Ms. Smith has agreed to settle her personal injury claim against
t,he City and her insurance carrier has offered to settle the City's counter-
claim for the $5,000 limit of her insurance coverage. We believe the policy
limit of $5,000 is all that can be realized from the City' s counterclaim be-
cause Stacy Smith appears to be individually judgment-proof beyond the
coverage of her insurance.
If we accept the offer tendered, the $5,000 would be divided pro rata as
between Employers Casualty Company and the City of Beaumont. The City's
share is $2,190. 16, leaving $2,809.84 to Employers Casualty to be applied
toward the Bruce Wiggins expense. In order to accept an offer for less than
the full amount of the actual damages, it would be necessary for the City to
execute a release for the amount of the claim in excess of the settlement
amount.
It is recommended that this resolution authorizing settlement of the lawsuit
for $5,000 be approved.
