TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Dr. Hani J. Tohme, Water Utilities Director
MEETING DATE: February 10, 2009
REQUESTED ACTION: Council approval of a resolution authorizing the City
Manager to increase the Proposed Surface Water Treatment
Plant Improvements Phase I Project for"extra work".
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends approval of increasing the Proposed Surface Water Treatment
Plant Improvements Phase I Project by$26,195.75. The proposed changes to the contract will
increase the pulsator concrete and crack repairs in excess of bid quantities in Pulsator#2
including labor and materials. The proposed changes will increase the contract time by 10
calendar days. The additional days including approved rain days increases the total contract time
to 530 calendar days. The proposed extra work will represent an increase of 0.33% of the original
contract amount and and a total increase of 3.30% of the original contract.
BACKGROUND
This project is the construction phase of the improvements at the Water Treatment Plant
including 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 will include miscellaneous mechanical and electrical improvements including a
building with provisions for two (2) 150OKW Caterpillar generators. The generators were pre-
purchased by the City due to the long lead delivery time and were delivered in January 2009. 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.

structures necessary for the implementation of fair competition, ETI's transition to

REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a request for a specific use permit to
allow for the temporary parking and hookup of RV's in an
RM-H(Residential Multiple Family Dwelling-Highest
Density) District at 2350 North Major Drive.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends denial.
BACKGROUND
Joe Self,representing the Jehovah's Witness Church,has applied for the specific use permit.
The Beaumont Relief Center Oversight Group of the Jehovah's Witness Church is a temporary
relief effort working under the direction of the Texas Disaster Relief Committee of Jehovah's
Witness. This group has determined that there is an immediate need for assistance for church
members in repairing their homes after Hurricane Ike.
Most of the activity will occur on weekends and will primarily take place at the back of the
church. Activities will include the placement of the RV's, cooking for the volunteers,religious
services and an administrative office to coordinate the repair activities. The temporary staging of
building materials will be located off-site. Materials needed for the day will be picked up and
then distributed to the construction site.
The church states that approximately ten RV's will be located on the property. The parking of
these RV's will be located on the property until June, 2009. While the parking of the trailers will
be temporary,the church would like to permanently install the water, sanitary sewer and
electrical lines for the RV's. The Planning Manager has informed the church that a specific use
permit would be required again if there is ever a need to temporarily park RV's for hurricane
repairs.
At a Joint Public Hearing held January 26, 2009,the Planning Commission voted 3:3 for a
specific use permit to allow for the temporary parking and hookup of RV's in an RM-H
(Residential Multiple Family Dwelling-Highest Density)District at 2350 North Major Drive
subject to the following conditions:
1. A 30'wide landscape strip or an 8'tall wood screening fence and a 10'wide
landscape strip shall be installed along the east(rear)property line.

Beaumont,Texas 77704-3827
Mr. Richardson;
As was discussed, during the most recent meeting of the City Council our letter dated February 2, 2009
may have caused some unintended confusion.We would like to take this opportunity,by way of this
letter,to clearly define our request.
Our love for God and neighbor compels us help those who have experienced damage to their homes
from disasters such as Hurricane Ike. As you are aware in the past we have operated a relief center in
Beaumont to help those who were victims of Hurricane Rita. Once again,with Hurricane Ike affecting so
many in our community we would like to offer humanitarian relief to those in need.We have been
working with City leaders all throughout South East Texas to address community concerns. Please find
below a summary of our request:
Plan 1—Fully Operational Relief Center—2350 N.Major Dr.
• Special Use Permit to temporarily park 10 RV trailers on the back of the property to house
volunteers from all over Texas coming to help in the Beaumont area
• Temporary kitchen trailer to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for the volunteers
• Small office trailer to organize the work
• Storage Container
• The building on site will be used for the relief workers to receive worship services and
assignments.
We understand that the concerns of the surrounding homeowners must be weighed by the City Council
and we too were at the planning board meeting and listened intently to those concerns.After this
meeting we feel that we could address all their concerns with the following self imposed restrictions:
• Move all RV's at least 30'from any neighbor's fence.
• Impose a 9pm curfew on the site for any noise.
• There will be no tents or bon-fires on site.
If the Council was to reject the request as outlined above,we would ask that an alternate option be
considered.
Plan 2— Reduced Relief Center
• All aspects of the relief center mentioned in Plan 1 remain intact except the following;
• Eliminate the installation and set-up of a temporary area for parking the RVs.
Because this would tend to make the Relief Center less efficient, our preference would be the primary
request. But, if necessary,we could work within the restrictions you may place on us.We know you too
are concerned for all of those affected by hurricane Ike and will do all you can to assist. It is our sincere
hope that you will see fit to grant us the opportunity to bring relief to those suffering with effects of the
storm.
Sincerely
e D Self
