RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends approval of a change order in the amount of$27,084. BACKGROUND Council awarded a contract on March 8, 2011 to Moore's Waterproofing in the amount of $387,260 for furnishing all labor, materials and equipment necessary to repair masonry and waterproof the exterior brick surface. The change order reflects additional costs and a credit for work at both buildings. The price quoted for the Jefferson Theatre included a price per square foot deduction for previously sealed brick. Most of the areas in question were located on the building's east side along the top perimeter. After crews installed scaffolding, they determined that approximately 5,052 sq. ft. did not require additional tuck pointing. This resulted in a credit of$15,156. The architect and contractor also recommended that the water repellant be upgraded. The masonry repellant recommended for the Jefferson Theatre resulted in an additional cost of$7,660. At the Municipal Court building, the specifications required that the contractor tuck point and seal only specific damaged areas on the building's south side. After closer inspection of the building, it was noted that the east, west and north sides of the building had been sealed using the mask grouting mortar process. This process involves the application of grouting mortar over the entire brick wall which forms a sealed bond between the existing brick and mortar. The south side of the building has experienced considerable water intrusion during heavy rain and wind events. Application of the mask grouting mortar will repair and seal the obvious damaged areas but also prevent future mortar failure on the building's south wall. The cost for the installation of this product is $34,580. Masonry Restoration June 7, 2011 Page 2 This change order increases the contract amount by 7%. BUDGETARYIMPACT The Hazard Mitigation Grant will provide 75%, or$25,935, of the funding for the masonry restoration at the Municipal Court Building. The remaining 25%, or$8,645, is available in the Capital Program. A credit in the amount of$7,496 for the Jefferson Theatre will be reflected in the Hurricane Rita Fund.

BACKGROUND Mike Albanese,representing 2325 Calder, LLC, has requested a specific use permit to allow a parking lot at 407 7th St. The parking lot is to serve a new pub/grill that will be located in the former Easy's Restaurant building at 2325 Calder. The Historic District regulations state that all off-street parking must be set back along street frontages not less than the required yard setbacks or as far back as the front of immediately adjacent buildings, whichever is greater. The property is zoned RCR-H. Twenty-five foot setbacks would be required along both Broadway and 7th St. The Planning Manager has discussed this requirement and the variance process with the current property owner. The applicant has stated that the additional parking is vital to the leasing of the former Easy's Restaurant building. A pub/restaurant at this location would be an important economic stimulus for the Old Town area. With the improvements on Calder Avenue now completed,this is the type of development that the City is anxious to see along this major entry into downtown. At a Joint Public Hearing held May 16, 2011,the Planning Commission voted 7:0 to approve a specific use permit to allow a parking lot in an RCR-H (Residential Conservation and Revitalization-H) District at 407 7th Street subject to the following conditions: • A 25' setback along Broadway and 7th St. shall be adhered to unless the Board of Adjustment approves variances to the minimum setback for parking lots • A minimum 6'wide landscape strip shall be installed along the Broadway and 7' St. frontages of the parking lot • The parking lot shall meet the interior landscaping requirements • An 8'tall wood screening fence shall be constructed along the north property line and with a modification to the landscaping requirement along the north property line(no 10' wide landscape strip).

RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends approval of a specific use permit to allow office/warehouses in a GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District on the west side of Eastex Freeway, approximately 527'north of Tram Road with a waiver of the sidewalk requirement along Eastex Freeway and Old Voth Road. BACKGROUND Mark W. Whiteley&Associates, Inc., representing the property owner Henry LaBrie,has applied for a specific use permit. Previously, Mr. LaBrie had received approval for three specific use permits allowing office/warehouses south of the subject property. It is his desire to continue with the same concept on the remainder of his property. The property extends north to Broad Oak Street. The current request includes an additional 32 buildings encompassing 96,000 sq. ft. of office/warehouse space. Tract I is to be built immediately with Tracts II -Tract VIII being built over time. Mr. LaBrie is requesting a waiver of the sidewalk requirement along Eastex Freeway and Old Voth Road. Tom Rowe,with Mark Whiteley&Assoc., states that the waiver request is due to the nature of the site and its location and because of the inability to engineer a sidewalk in this location that is safe for the public and that will not impede the drainage along Old Voth Road and Eastex Freeway. At a Joint Public Hearing held May 16, 2011, the Planning Commission voted 7:0 to approve a specific use permit to allow office/warehouses in a GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District on the west side of Eastex Freeway, approximately 527' north of Tram Road.with a waiver of the sidewalk requirement along Eastex Freeway and Old Voth Road.

RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends the approval of Change Order No. 1 in the amount of$100,567.65 for the Event Center Parking project. BACKGROUND Council approved a contract on January 25, 2011 to APAC-Texas, Inc. for furnishing all materials, equipment, labor and supplies to construct a parking lot to serve the Downtown Event Center and surrounding amenities. The parking lot is being constructed on properties purchased during the past five years. The contractor began excavating surface soils and discovered one underground fuel tank. As the project continued,the contractor was unable to compact the soil. This resulted in additional excavation and the discovery of a concrete basement from a large two story structure that was demolished several years ago. The concrete had to be excavated and removed. The cost for removing the fuel tank and concrete basement was $67,691.65. The original plans and specifications included an electrical transformer to be installed on the parking lot for operation of the parking lot lights and electrical receptacles only. The plans specified that the street lights from Crockett to MLK and Magnolia/Jefferson from Laurel to Bowie be powered from the Event Center building's electrical panel. The electrical engineer that designed the event center would not approve the additional power supply needed for the street lights unless another electrical panel was installed in the building. Installation of an additional panel required expanding the mechanical room and modification of the event center floor plan. However,the street lights can be powered from a larger transformer than originally specified located in the parking lot. The electrical contractor working with the contractor, C. F. Jordan, Change Order No. 1 - Event Center Parking June 7, 2011 Page 2 met with staff to determine the service size needed and provided the City with a change order request of$34,500 to provide two controller cabinets with foundations, underground conduit, a 480 volt panel and a 280 volt panel, and transformer. The service will be metered separately from the building, thus providing a separate and accurate utility usage for the building and the surrounding street lighting. The Landscape Architect, SWA, has recommended plant materials that require less maintenance but complimented the original design. This change resulted in a net credit of$1,624. This Change Order results in an increase of 10.33%. The original contract amount was $973,553.30. A copy of the Change Order is attached for your review.

Melton facility located at 3455 Sarah Street. RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends approval. BACKGROUND On June 8, 2010, City Council approved a one-year lease agreement with Jehovah Jireh Village CDC, Inc. for use of the L.L. Melton property on Sarah Street for the purpose of providing recreational, educational, social, and civic activities to the general public. This action was taken after the YMCA closed due to financial difficulties and control of the facility was assumed by the City. Jehovah Jireh Village CDC, Inc. has been pleased with the results of its efforts there and wants to continue its use of the facility. The Administration is recommending a two-year agreement with a one-year renewal option. The proposed agreement leaves the rent at $1,500 per year, but now makes the lessee responsible for all utility charges, including the water and sewer charges which were previously paid by the City. The City will continue to be responsible for grounds maintenance; maintenance of structural components, such as the roof, foundation, and walls; and for repairs to major building systems, such as electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Other provisions of the prior lease agreement will remain unchanged. On May 25, 2010, the City Council approved $100,000 in CDBG funds for repairs to the building that were identified after the City took control of the building. These repairs have been completed. A copy of the proposed lease agreement is attached. RESOLUTION NO. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT: THAT the City Manager be and he is hereby authorized to execute a two (2) year lease agreement, with an option to renew for an additional one(1)year term, with Jehovah Jireh Village CDC, Inc. (Lessee),for$1,500 per month for property located at 3455 Sarah Street, Beaumont, Texas.
