Consider approving a change order to the Calder Avenue Drainage and Pavement Improvement Project-Phase III. Administration recommended approval of Change Order No. 1 in the amount of$94,928.00, for adding construction items and reducing construction item quantities to the Calder Avenue Drainage and Pavement Improvement Project - Phase III. The section of Calder Avenue from Main Street to Phelan Boulevard is a heavily-traveled roadway that provides access from downtown to the west end of the City.The current roadway is four lanes with a continuous left-turn lane to west of IH-10 and two lanes with a continue left- turn lane from west of IH-10 to West Lucas. The condition of existing pavement is poor and requires rehabilitation.This project will include the installation of storm sewer box culverts, water&sanitary sewer lines,concrete pavement,brick paver sidewalk,and traffic signals on Calder Avenue. Phase III of the Calder Project extends from IH-10 to Phelan Boulevard. During the construction: 1. The existing water line was located at a higher elevation. Approximately 425'of water line will be lowered to remove from the base of the proposed concrete pavement. 2. Three existing AT&T cable crossings were located at a lower elevation.36'of concrete box culvert will be modified to allow the cables to cross the concrete boxes, and the work will be reimbursed by AT&T. 3. The design specification forthe concrete boxes beyond TxDOT ROW was revised to match that of Calder Phase I & ll. A cost reduction of$20,000.00 is credited back to the City. The proposed extra work will increase the contract by 0.96%. The remaining funds are available through the Capital Program.

AYES: MAYOR AMES, MAYOR PRO TEM PATE, COUNCILMEMBERS COLEMAN, WRIGHT AND SAMUEL NAYS: NONE Minutes-December 14,2010 Page 6,3111 MOTION PASSED Resolution 10 - 325 5. Consider approving a change order to the Downtown Event Center Project. Administration recommended the approval of Change Order No.1 in the amount of$60,101. Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $60,101 includes costs associated with unforseen casing and concrete work,additional excavation and rough grading beyond the original scope of work,substitution of aluminum composite exterior building panels and an extension of the completion time by twenty-eight (28) days. The building foundation is supported by piers drilled to a depth of twenty-five feet. During the excavation, a strata of interior wet soil was discovered at depths of 15-18 ft. at several of the pier locations. To stabilize the soil,a steel casing was inserted for each pier. The extra cost is for the additional steel casing and concrete used for 200 building piers. The cost for this additional work is $22,612. Prior to the award of the bid, Drainage District 6 agreed to excavate and roughly grade the property east of the event center. During construction, it was determined that the elevations were not at the architect's designed elevations and additional soil removal and rough grading would be required to properly align the building with the site's amenities. The cost to survey, grade and remove more than 6,500 cubic yards of material is $72,489. A substitute exterior building panel has been recommended by the contractor and reviewed and approved by the architect. The alternate,Alucabond exterior panels are durable, resistant to UV rays,cost effective and are architecturally equal to the specified panels. The aluminum composite panels originally specified are more costly to install. The cost for the alternate panels resulted in a credit to the project of$35,000. Additionally,CF Jordan has requested an increase in the number of days for completion.The additional work included in this change order has delayed the project's completion by twenty- eight (28) days. If approved, the date of substantial completion is June 21, 2011. Funds for this change order are available in the Capital Program.

AYES: MAYOR AMES, MAYOR PRO TEM PATE, COUNCILMEMBERS COLEMAN, WRIGHT AND SAMUEL NAYS: NONE MOTION PASSED Minutes-December 14,2010 Page 7 of 12 Resolution 10 - 326 6. Consider authorizing the City Manager to execute a Development and Lease Agreement with the Beaumont Children's Museum. Administration recommended authorizing the City Manager to execute a Development and Lease Agreement with the Beaumont Children's Museum, a non-profit corporation, for property located on the corner of Neches and Crockett Streets. In 2007, BCM began seeking downtown locations for future development of a Children's Museum. Also, during this time,the City began developing a Master Plan for a sixteen (16) acre track of land located between Neches and MILK, bordered by Bonham and Crockett Streets. The former Oil City Brass Works Building located west of Neches at Crockett Street was purchased by the City and included in the sixteen(16)acre track. The City did not have plans to use the building which was slated for demolition when BCM requested that it be considered for the Children's Museum. BCM has agreed to renovate the Oil City Brass Building and possibly construct new buildings on the surrounding property as shown on Attachment A in the packet at its own expense for a Children's Museum. BCM has agreed to develop the property within six (6) years or the lease will be terminated. After development,the City agrees to accept the gift of the museum facilities and lease the facilities to BCM for a twenty-five (25) year period with an option to renew for an additional twenty-five (25) year period BCM will be responsible for all costs associated with the development of the property. During the lease term, BCM will be responsible for all facility operations, general building maintenance, utility costs, and personal and property liability insurance. During the lease term period, the City will be responsible for major maintenance, such as HVAC system, roofs,foundation, major plumbing repairs,exterior windows and the structural integrity of the facilities. The City is in the process of removing trash and debris from the building. The building will be secured and the exterior painted prior to the opening of the Event Center. Upon receipt of the renovated facilities, BCM agrees to pay the sum of $500 for the first twenty-five(25)year lease term. As rental for the twenty-five(25)year renewal term, BCM will pay the City $1,000. Cost for associated general maintenance currently in progress will be funded by the Capital Reserve Fund. No other costs will be borne by the City until the lease term begins. Mayor Pro Tern Pate made a motion to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT THE CITY MANAGER BE AND HE IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO EXECUTE A DEVELOPMENT AND LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THE BEAUMONT CHILDREN'S MUSEUM(BCM),A NON-PROFIT CORPORATION,FOR PROPERTY LOCATED Minutes-December 14,2010 Page 8 of 12 ON THE CORNER OF NECHES AND CROCKETT STREETS. Councilmember Wright seconded the motion. AYES: MAYOR AMES, MAYOR PRO TEM PATE, COUNCILMEMBERS COLEMAN, WRIGHT AND SAMUEL NAYS: NONE MOTION PASSED Resolution 10- 327 WORK SESSION Review and discuss a proposed three-foot safe passing ordinance to protect walkers, runners and cyclists on city roadways Lt. Mark Pierce discussed the three-foot safe passing ordinance to protect walkers, runners and cyclist on city roadways. Mark stated that many people are not familiar with what a safe passing ordinance is basically,what the ordinance does is to require that when safely and legally possible, drivers must provide at least three-feet of distance between their vehicle and cyclist, pedestrians,or other vulnerable road users. The ordinance will help the city be a pedestrian and a cycle friendly culture, it will help with the health and safety of its citizens, the image, and quality of life as well as help the economy. The penalty of violating this ordinance would be a Class C misdemeanor,subject to a maximum$500 fine. Around Texas and the country five Texas cities have passed this ordinance, they are Austin, Helotes, New Braunfels,San Antonio and El Paso,which adopted the ordinance on December 7,2010. 18 states have safe passing laws. This law can be enforced like any other traffic law, including laws that require motorist, to observe specific distances. No major enforcement initiative would be necessary. Officers would routinely make judgements of distance and speed to enforce the law as well as routinely make judgements of liability based on witness accounts and other evidence. The safe passing ordinance would not give cyclists or pedestrians permission to block traffic or break traffic laws, it would not establish a presumption of guilt for motor vehicle operators or pose an onerous enforcement burden. The purpose of the ordinance would be to establish a standard and specific safe passing distance, help officers establish neglect or endangerment,ensure a penalty can be assessed if fault is assigned and to establish a framework for education on safe passing and safety.
