BACKGROUND Bids were requested for an annual contract to provide hazardous waste cleanup and disposal services on an as required basis for the City. The majority of these services are used for cleanup following traffic accidents on City streets and freeway systems. In instances where hazardous material is in need of clean-up and the City of Beaumont is not the responsible party, the City bills the responsible party the costs incurred for the clean-up. Six(6)vendors were notified and one response was received. Specifications requested unit pricing for a number of services, labor, equipment, and disposal charges associated with routine clean-up activity. Texas Environmental Resources, Inc., has held this contract for a number of years. Actual expenses for this contract are highly variable and are dependent primarily on the number and extent of incidents requiring clean-up services. We estimate,based on past years' expenses, the total annual expense will be approximately$55,000 for the twelve(12)month term of the contract. FUNDING SOURCE If the City is the responsible party related to the incident, funding is provided from the responsible department's operating budget. The City bills the responsible party when the clean- up is due to an incident such as a traffic accident or spill. RECOMMENDATION Approval of resolution.

PREPARED BY: Patrick Donart, Public Works Director MEETING DATE: March 27,2012 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution approving Change Order No. 2 from McInnis Construction, Inc. in the amount of $29,836.89 for the renovation of the R. C. Miller Library. BACKGROUND A contract in the amount of$588,650 was awarded to McInnis Construction, Inc. on February 7, 2012. Change Order No. 2 includes the relocation of electrical conduit and modifications to the electrical service. The electrical design was based on the original architect's plans developed in 1982. It was discovered that changes were made during the original construction that were not reflected on the plans. The service had to be modified when McInnis attempted to install conduit as per the current renovation design. This resulted in relocation of electrical conduit and modifications that will provide easier switch access to library staff. Also,included in this change order is the removal of the upper clerestory glass installed during the last room addition to the library. The removal of the tinted glass will provide more natural light in the reading area. The contractor has requested an additional twenty-six days for completion extending the date of substantial completion to July 23, 2012. This change order does not increase the total contract amount as it will be deducted from the contingency fund in the contract. FUNDING SOURCE R. C. Miller Community Fund.

BACKGROUND The 800 MHz radio system consists of software and hardware for four simulcast tower sites in Jefferson County,two repeater tower sites in Hardin County and an 800 MHz SmartZone trunked radio system from Motorola. The City of Beaumont and Jefferson County have been working together on this shared 800 MHz radio system since 2004 and have been sharing the annual costs for its management and maintenance. This arrangement was formalized in April, 2008 by an Interlocal Agreement with Jefferson County. Since 2008 we have expanded the simulcast system in Jefferson County from eleven(11)to twenty-one(2 1)channels and added two repeater tower sites in Hardin County through expansion of our agreement by including the cities of Groves,Nederland, Port Arthur, Port Neches and Hardin County. We have also reduced the per radio maintenance costs and improved regional interoperability by adding the Port of Beaumont, Lamar University's Police Department,Acadian Ambulance and many other agencies to the system. The City of Orange is upgrading their 800 MHz system and has determined that a unified and integrated radio communications system would improve the ability of public safety and public service agencies to communicate and cooperate with each other. Therefore they have requested to join the Southeast Texas Regional Radio System. Adding the City of Orange to the system will expand coverage into Orange County and will allow for seamless communications if an event crosses county lines. FUNDING SOURCE Not applicable.

This year will be particularly chalk as the CDBG allocation has been reduced by approximately 200/6 from last year and the HOME budget has been reduced by approximately 40%from last year However,the Emergency Services Grant is once again available and will provide$143,199 in funding to serve the homeless Population. Of particular concern is the reduction in administrative funds from$400,110 to $304,995,a reduction of 23%. Part of this reduction can be absorbed as we continue to cut costs and con dow to use unspent administrative finds in past program years. However,if this trend conti nres,it will be difficult to maintain the delivery of services at current levels. This is particularly true as all of the ARRA-based programs are coming to a close. Please note that the Minor Repair and Rehabilitation Housing-Programs are not included in this year's budget as$380,000 is still available in prior program years. In addition,the Hurricane Dee Disaster Recovery Program is continuing to serve to repair and replace many housing units within the city.As most of the Hurricane Ike Disaster Recovery-Demolition funk were reallocated due to program restrictions, this Draft budget increases the demolition line hear to$200,000. This will allow the clearing of approximately one hundred(100)substandard structures. Once the Preliminary Budget is finalized,we will present it to the Community Developmeflt Advisory Committee(CDAC)on March 20,2012 and then submit it to City Council on March 27h. This will be followed by applicant presentations to City Council on April Y4 and City Council adoption of the Final Budget on May 1". if you have any questions or comma,please do not hesitate to contact me. 2
