REGULAR AGENDA
1. Council to consider a resolution authorizing the purchase of one (1) digester blower,
motor, and skid for the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Currently, the Wastewater Treatment Plant has four (4) digester blowers (1,2,4, and 5).
The main function for the blowers is to supply a rate of continuous forced oxygenated air
to the digesters. Blower #5 has reached the lifetime expectancy and needs replacement
before it completely fails and results in reduced capacity to produce sludge cake at the
belt press.
The total pricing for the 150 HP Blower, Motor, and Skid is $69,583.00 and was obtained
from Atlas Copco Compressors, LLC, of Houston, the sole source provider of the blowers
used at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The quote and sole source letter are attached
for your reference.
Funds will come from the Capital Program.
Approval of the resolution.

RESOLUTION 23-338
3. Council to consider a resolution renewing a contract with TMT Utilities, Inc., for the
Citywide Emergency Water Main Repairs II.
On August 15, 2023, the City of Beaumont issued a Mandatory Water Restriction as
determined by Stage 3 of the Drought Contingency Plan due to the excessive heat and
lack of rain. The excessive heat and lack of rain has caused multiple water mains to burst,
causing blowouts throughout the city. The blowouts must be repaired immediately to
conserve the already limited water consumption deemed mandatory throughout the City,
along with maintaining adequate water pressure per state regulations for public health
and safety.
On September 26, 2023, by Resolution No. 23-269, the City Council awarded a contract
to TMT Utilities, Inc. for emergency water main repairs in the amount of $100,000 with an
option to renew one (1) time.
TMT Utilities, Inc. has completed the first $100,000 of work closing out the first contract.
Due to the fact that the number of outstanding water main repairs continues to be higher
than normal, staff recommended that the agreement be renewed and not to exceed
$100,000.
Funds will come from the Water Utilities Fund.
Approval of the resolution.
Councilmember Feldschau moved to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
HEREBY APPROVES THE RENEWAL OF THE CONTRACT WITH TMT UTILITIES, INC., OF HUNTSVILLE,
TEXAS, FOR THE CITYWIDE EMERGENCY WATER MAIN REPAIRS II IN THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED

4. Council to consider an ordinance authorizing implementation of the Qualified Zip Veterans
Pass Program.
Zip, formerly known as Beaumont Municipal Transit System, requests permission to
implement the Qualified Zip Veterans Pass Program for qualified veterans to receive free
fixed route and paratransit services. Similar to Houston Metro‘s program, a qualified
veteran under this program is a person who has a service-connected disability rating of
50% or more, or 40% or more due to the amputation of a lower extremity or received a
Medal of Valor (Air Force Cross, Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Navy
Cross or Purple Heart). Zip has a partnership with the Veterans Administration Office to
confirm such records should the program be implemented.
Any qualified Veteran will have their application processed within forty-eight (48) hours of
receipt to the Veterans Administrative Offices. The proposed program aligns with the
requirements of Harris County’s transit system, Metro.
The transit system is funded through a combination of rider fares, the General Fund as
well as grants from the Texas Department of Transportation and the Federal Transit
Administration.
Approval of the ordinance.
After discussion Councilmember Duiro asked that the fixed route and paratransit services
for Veterans not have any qualifications and that all Veterans can ride as long as they can
prove they were in the military. Councilmember Neild second that request. The item was
approved on the condition that staff come back with more information within thirty (30)
days.
Councilmember Durio moved to ADOPT AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED AN ORDINANCE

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) performed a traffic survey on US 69, 96, 287
and SH 347. The study indicated an excessive number of crashes compared to similar roadways
in Texas. A detailed crash analysis provided by TxDOT can be found in Exhibit 3. It is
anticipated that lowering the speed limit will reduce the number and severity of crashes.
The current ordinance for US 69, 96, 287 does not reflect the existing speed limit of the road or
the proposed speed limit by TxDOT. SH 347 is currently omitted from the ordinance.
City Staff and TxDOT propose that the speed zone boundaries and speed limits for these sections
of US 69, 96, 287 and SH 347 be amended under the schedule Chapter 20 Section 20.03.003 to
read as follows:

REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution setting a public hearing for the
creation of a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone
BACKGROUND
The City of Beaumont is in the process of creating a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ)
#1, for downtown Beaumont. A TIRZ is a special zone that is created to spur economic
development within an area. These zones help finance costs of redevelopment and promote
growth in areas that would otherwise not attract sufficient market development in a timely
manner. Taxes attributable to new improvements (tax increments) are set-aside in a fund to
finance public improvements within the boundaries of the zone. The Beaumont TIRZ #1 is being
proposed for the downtown area of the City. There are various steps in creating a TIRZ within a
city, and before a governing body votes to create a TIRZ, a public hearing has to be held, per the
State law. In order to hold a public hearing, notice must be given in a newspaper of general
circulation in the City of Beaumont no later than the 7th day before the date of the hearing. The
public hearing for the creation of the Zone is scheduled for December 5, 2023. The notice for the
public hearing will be published, as required, on Monday, November 27th.

FROM: Kenneth R. Williams, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Angela Wright, Chief Technology Officer
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2023
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution for the approval of an agreement with
OpenGov, Inc. in San Jose, CA, for the procurement of the
OpenGov Budgeting and Planning software for $120,000.
BACKGROUND
Enlisting the services of OpenGov for the budgeting solution will grant the public, Council
members, and city staff access to periodic (external) and real-time (internal) updates via their
transparency platform. This platform includes customizable management dashboards that
facilitate the analysis of operational and funding requirements, ultimately enhancing resource
planning and allocation. Additionally, the budgeting solution offers the capability to seamlessly
integrate Capital Improvement Plans into the budget document, while ensuring precision and
minimizing the need for staff revisions by directly integrating with the City's Central Square
Financial System.
This software enables the City to pursue the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA)
Distinguished Budget Presentation Award and facilitates the transition to zero-based budgeting.
It streamlines and eliminates the manual processes currently involved in the budgeting
procedure.
The agreement is set to span four years, concluding on September 30, 2027, with the annual
costs outlined as follows:
• Year 1: $120,000 (comprising implementation services)
• Year 2: $97,146
• Year 3: $102,003
• Year 4: $107,103
The pricing for this solution was obtained through the State of Texas Department of Information
(DIR), which offers cities and political subdivisions the opportunity to procure information
technology at volume prices, in accordance with the procurement statutes of the State of Texas.

Capital Reserve.

Appendix A: Engagement Charter
A-1: Communication and Escalation Procedure
Active engagement throughout the implementation process is the foundation of a successful
deployment. To help assess progress, address questions, and minimize risk during the course of
deployment both parties agree to the following:
● Regular communication aligned to the agreed upon project plan and timing.
○ OpenGov expects our customers to raise questions or concerns as soon as they
arise. OpenGov will do the same, in order to be able to address items when known.
● Executive involvement
○ Executives may be called upon to clarify expectations and/or resolve confusion.
○ Executives may be needed to steer strategic items to maximize the value through
the deployment.
● Escalation Process:
○ OpenGov and Customer agree to raise concerns and follow the escalation process,
resource responsibility, and documentation in the event an escalation is needed to
support issues raised
● Identification of an issue impeding deployment progress, outcome or
capturing the value proposition, that is not acceptable.
● Customer or OpenGov Project Manager summarizes the problem statement
and impasse.
● Customer and OpenGov Project Managers jointly will outline solution,
acceptance or schedule Executive review.
● Resolution will be documented and signed off following Executive review.
● Phase Sign-Off
○ OpenGov requests sign-offs at various stages during the implementation of the
project. Once the Customer has signed-off, any additional changes requested by
Customer on that stage will require a paid change order for additional hours for
OpenGov to complete the requested changes.
A-2: Change Order Process
This SOW and related efforts are based on the information provided and gathered by OpenGov.
Customers acknowledge that changes to the scope may require additional effort or time,
resulting in additional cost. Any change to scope must be agreed to in writing or email, by both
Customer and OpenGov, and documented as such via a:
● Change Order - Work that is added to or deleted from the original scope of this SOW.
Depending on the magnitude of the change, it may or may not alter the original contract
amount or completion date and be paid for by Customer. Changes might include:
o Timeline for completion
o Sign off process
o Cost of change and Invoice timing

Phase Acceptance and Engagement Acceptance.
● Within five (5) business days of receipt, your Project Manager will either accept the
deliverable Material or provide OpenGov’sProjectManagerawrittenlistofrequested
revisions. If OpenGov receives no response from your Project Manager within five (5)
business days, then the deliverable Material will be deemed accepted. The process will
repeat for the requested revisions until acceptance.
● All acceptance milestones and associated review periods will be tracked on the project
plan.
● Both OpenGov and Customer recognize that failure to complete tasks and respond to open
issues may have a negative impact on the project.

may opt to put the project on an "On Hold" status. After the Customer has fulfilled its
obligations, Professional Services can be resumed and the project will be taken off the
"On-Hold" status.
● Putting a project “on Hold” may have several ramifications including, but not restricted, to
the following:

PREPARED BY: Bart Bartkowiak, Director of Public Works
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2023
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to
execute Change Order No. 1 to the contract with MK Constructors,
of Vidor, for the Jefferson Street Infrastructure Repair Project.
BACKGROUND
On August 15, 2023, by Resolution No. 23-226, City Council awarded a contract to MK
Constructors, of Vidor, in the amount of $327,285.00, for the Jefferson Street Infrastructure
Repair Project. This authorized work consisted of removing and replacing concrete pavement,
concrete curb and gutter, concrete sidewalk and ADA ramps, storm sewer lines, storm sewer and
sanitary sewer manholes and storm sewer inlets.
Proposed Change Order No. 1, in the amount of $22,768.00, is being requested to modify the
scope of work regarding the sanitary sewer manhole called out to be removed and replaced due
to two storm sewer lines being tied into it. After further inspection and evaluation of the
manhole, it was decided that the storm lines could be disconnected without causing damage to
the manhole and an effective patch could be made where the lines were disconnected. The
Contractor had already ordered and delivered the proposed manhole to the project site, so the
City will add it to the Water Utilities inventory for use at a future location. The Change Order
also includes additional sidewalk and sidewalk ramps. The Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) requires that the existing sidewalks that are connected to driveways disturbed during
construction must be removed and replaced to correct any grade or slope issues. No additional
days are requested to be added to the contract for the additional work.
If approved, Change Order No. 1 will result in a new contract amount of $350,053.00.
FUNDING SOURCE
Community Investment Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the resolution.

Scope of
Work
The Sanitary Sewer manhole called out in the plans to be removed and replaced due to two storm lines being tied in will be left in place.
After inspection by the Water Utilities inspector and conversation with MK Contractors, it was decided that the storm lines could be
removed without causing damage to the manhole and an effective patch could be made where the lines were tied in. MK Contractors will
then remove the brick riser (approx. 18 inches) and replace it with concrete risers to grade. The existing ring and cover will also be
replaced by MK Contractors. The fiberglass manhole has already been ordered by MK and was delivered to the site. This manhole will
become the City's to be used on another project and will need to be picked up from the site by the water/sewer department. This Change
Order is also needed to account for additional sidewalk and sidewalk ramps. Existing sidewalk that is tied into driveways that are being
disturbed during construction must be removed and replaced to correct grade issues in order to meet The Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA).

Re: Project WU0222-14 Collier’s Ferry Pump Station: Change Order No. 004
Dear Mrs. Villarreal,
Included with this letter is Change Order No. 004 for the Collier’s Ferry Pump Station project. This letter is to serve
as a narrative for the item(s) included in this Change Order with supporting documentation attached.
Item No. 1: Addition of Pine Street 48” Raw Water Line
The segment of the 48” Raw Water Line included in the Collier’s Ferry Pump Station project only goes up to
the Pine Street ROW. The upcoming Pine Street 48-Inch Raw Water Line project (City of Beaumont Bid No.
WU1023-01) connects to it and includes the remainder of the 48” Raw Water Line along the Pine Street
ROW to the Beaumont Water Treatment Plant. The Collier’s Ferry Pump Station Project also includes an
Elevated Access Road and road improvements to Pine Street. In order to not cause any delays, it was
decided that the segment of the 48” Raw Water line that goes under the Elevated Access Road and the
improvements to Pine Street be transferred to this project. Having that segment, which is an estimated 750
LF, of the 48” Raw Water Line moved to this project will mitigate any potential delays by not having to wait
for the other project to complete the 48” Raw Water Line.
Also included in this change order is an addition of an 18” RCP along the drainage ditch between Pine Street
and the Beaumont Country Club. This will alleviate any drainage issues that might arise after completion of
the road improvements. A Safety End Treatment, a manhole, and two inlets will also be included with the
18” RCP along with rip rap at the discharge end to mitigate any erosion that may be caused.
Due to long lead times of the required materials, mainly the Ductile Iron pipe & fittings, at this time Allco
cannot accurately predict what time extension will be required to complete this work. Allco reserves the
right to submit a subsequent request for additional calendar days once all materials have been received
and are ready to commence with the work associated with this Change Order.
Freese & Nichols, Inc. conducted an AACE Class 1 Cost Estimate (-10% to +15% accuracy) of the proposed
changes included and Allco’s proposal came in at 7.35% of Freese & Nichols, Inc.’s estimate.
Total Cost: $1,319,844.00 Additional Days: TBD
I hope the above narrative, along with the included supporting documentation, provides adequate information to
be able to process this Change Order in a timely fashion. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you need any
further explanation or backup documentation.
Sincerely,
Rami Abusheikh, P.E.

600.07 - Protection
of Utilities
The locations of utilities are not shown on the plans. The
CONTRACTOR shall inspect the route of the
construction during the bidding period to check the location of such
utilities, and possibility of any conflict.
Whenever existing utilities present obstructions to grade and
alignment of pipes or appurtenances, the
CONTRACTOR will notify the ENGINEER, who without delay,
will determine whenever existing
improvements are to be relocated or grade and alignment of pipe to
be changed. When necessary to move
services, poles, guy wires, pipe lines, or other obstructions, the

SPECIFICATIONS
CONTRACTOR shall prepare the site furthermore by establishing
drainage along the route if necessary,
filling up holes, and generally leveling the site and or the route. The
purpose is to keep the surface water
away from the trench for pipe. It will also benefit the CONTRACTOR
since soil conditions will improve and
therefore the progress of the pipe laying.
600.10 - Protection of Street
and Drainage
The CONTRACTOR shall make all attempts to keep streets and
drainage open. Streets should be kept
as clean as possible and mud scraped often as required and dust
watered down if asked by the City.
Drainage ditches shall be kept open and if filled by the
CONTRACTOR, they shall be reopened before the
crew leaves the site at the end of a working day.
If in the opinion of the ENGINEER the street needs to be closed,
the CONTRACTOR shall inform the
Public Works Department, Transportation Division and the residents
being affected at least forty-eight (48)
hours in advance. Attempts should be made to give temporary
access to the residents of the blocking
being affected. CONTRACTOR should attempt to minimize the
duration of street closing by proper planning
of the work and arranging for all the required material, equipment,
and personnel. However, since the
safety of the public is more important than the inconveniences
imposed on, the CONTRACTOR should keep
a closed street unpassable to through traffic and not open it until it
is safe for through traffic.
If sections of the original pavement or surface are removed by the
CONTRACTOR, the trench shall be
filled according to the provisions of "ITEM 600.19 and 20". Fill the
top layer of the street with limestone
temporarily until the street is ready for surface replacement in
agreement with "ITEM 600.20 and 21", until
the street is ready for final replacement of the surface,
CONTRACTOR should keep the street passable for
the local residents.
The Street Division of the City of Beaumont makes the final
inspection of pavements, streets, shoulders,
drainage ditches, and structures related to their department.
CONTRACTOR shall correct any problem

and Alignment
It is the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to provide centerline
stakes and cuts at each stake and to
protect such stakes and control the alignment and grade. The
CONTRACTOR may use any device such as
level, transit or laser beam instrument to control the pipe laying.
If the pipe alignment and grade is
incorrect, it shall be taken out.
600.13 - Trench
Excavation
The ground shall be excavated by the open trench method to the
required depth, width, line and grade
as given by the ENGINEER. The trench walls shall be vertical to a
point not less then 12 inches above the
top of the pipe. For all pipes the sides of the trench below the top of
the pipe shall be less than 6 inches
nor more than 8 inches from the side of the pipe for sizes 12 inches
and less, and the pipe outside diameter
plus 24 inches maximum trench width for pipe sizes 15 inches and
larger. If the trench is excavated below
the proper grade, it shall be refilled to grade with selected backfill
material and thoroughly rammed without
extra compensation, unless the extra excavation was ordered by the
ENGINEER. In case of a cave-in and
if the trench width is larger than the maximum allowed, selected
backfill material shall be placed on sides
of the pipe up to the undisturbed wall and compacted.
In sewer construction, use 3" of washed sand for final
grading/bedding. In sewer and water
construction, bell holes must be excavated before pipe placement.
600.14 - Locating
Intersecting Pipes
The CONTRACTOR shall make attempts to locate intersecting
lines ahead of pipe laying. They shall
locate and excavate in advance service lines, sewers, and water
lines which will be tied into the system
under construction. Any pipe line or gas line, underground power
lines, fiberoptic and telephone cables
shall be located with proper notification.

and Bracing
The CONTRACTOR shall provide sheeting and bracing necessary
for the protection of the work and
employees. In the event the soil conditions are such that the
CONTRACTOR should desire to leave such
sheeting in place, they shall secure the permission of the ENGINEER
to do so. Any cost of such sheeting
and bracing shall be included in the unit price of laying pipe.
600.16 - De-
watering

tamping. In using water tamping, the
balance of the trench above the 6" height above the top of pipe shall
be filled with the loose fine material
in even layers not exceeding eighteen (18") inches in thickness of
loose material and immediately flooded
to complete saturation and left undisturbed for three (3) days.
The trench shall then be refilled and flooded again using poles to
insure penetration of water to the

may be specified in the plans:
10. Straw or Hay Mulch Seeding. The seed or seed mixture
in the quantity specified shall be
uniformly distributed over the areas shown on plans or where
directed by the Engineer. If the
sowing of seed is by hand, rather than by mechanical
methods, the seed shall be sown in two
directions at right angles to each other. If mechanical
equipment is used, all varieties of seed as
well as fertilizer may be distributed at the same time, provided
that each component is uniformly
applied at the specified rate. When seed and fertilizer are to be
distributed as a water slurry, the
mixture shall be applied to the area to be seeded within 30
minutes after all components are placed
in the equipment. Upon completion of planting of seed,
straw or hay mulch shall be spread
uniformly over the seeded area at the rate of approximately 1½
to 21 tons of hay or 2 to 2½ tons
of straw per acre. A mulching machine approved by the
Engineer shall be equipped to inject a
tacking agent into the straw or hay uniformly as it leaves the
equipment at a rate of 0.05 to 0.10
gallon of tacking agent per square yard of mulched area. If the
straw or hay and tacking agent are
placed by hand, then the rate of application for the tacking agent
shall be approximately 0.15 gallon
per square yard.

mulch at the specified rates. Mixing
and distributing shall be in such a manner so that thoroughly wet
mulch material will be distributed
at a uniform rate to provide the coverages specified. Soil
stabilizer/tacking agent shall be added
to the mixture at the specified rates.
Broadcast Seeding. The seed or seed mixture in the
quantity specified shall be uniformly
distributed over the areas shown on plans or where directed by
the Engineer. If the sowing of seed
is by hand, rather than by mechanical methods, the seed shall
be sown in two directions at right
angles to each other. If mechanical equipment is used, all
varieties of seed as well as fertilizer may
be distributed at the same time, provided that each component is
uniformly applied at the specified
rate. When seed and fertilizer are to be distributed as a water
slurry, the mixture shall be applied
to the area to be seeded within 30 minutes after all components
are placed in the equipment. After
planting, the planted area shall be rolled with a corrugated
roller of the “Cultipacker” type. All
rolling of the slope areas shall be on the contour.
14. Required Coverage. Germination and establishment of a
good stand of Bermuda grass will be
required in order to qualify any Seeding as “Acceptable Work.”
Substantial bare spots and ruts
designed by the Engineer will be reseeded and fertilized as
required to achieve germination.
Isolated bare spots measuring 2 feet in diameter or less will
be considered as acceptable work.
These requirements will be adhered to assuming normal
weather conditions. In the event of
abnormal flooding conditions, these requirements will be
applied to areas above measured high-
water marks.

Procedure
The CONTRACTOR, after back-filling or partial back-filling all
newly laid pipe, shall slowly fill the
lines with water expelling all air. The CONTRACTOR shall use all
available outlets to accomplish this, such
as hydrants, air relief valves and taps when specified. Should
additional taps be needed to vent air from
high points in the line, the same shall be installed by and at the
expense of the CONTRACTOR. The
CONTRACTOR shall install certified gauges on the line tested at
spacing not to exceed 2000 feet and at the
end of the test section.
The water under pressure (10 to 50 psi), shall be allowed to
stand for not less than 24 hours to
allow for absorption before applying a pressure test.
During this period, the bulkheads, valves, and
connections shall be examined for leaks.
A test pressure of not less than 180 psi shall be applied to valve or
bulkhead sections by a dedicated
hydrostatic test pump, 300 psi liquid filled guage, and water meter.
The CONTRACTOR shall furnish, install and operate at
their own expense the necessary

PREPARED BY: Bart Bartkowiak, Director of Public Works
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2023
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution renewing a contract with SETEX
Construction Corp., for the Citywide Emergency Water Main
Repairs III.
BACKGROUND
On August 15, 2023, the City of Beaumont issued a Mandatory Water Restriction as determined
by Stage 3 of the Drought Contingency Plan due to the excessive heat and lack of rain. The
excessive heat and lack of rain has caused multiple water mains to burst, causing blowouts
throughout the City. The blowouts must be repaired immediately to conserve the already limited
water consumption deemed mandatory throughout the City, along with maintaining adequate
water pressure per state regulations for public health and safety.
On October 17, 2023, by Resolution No. 23-303, City Council awarded a contract to SETEX
Construction Corp., for the Citywide Emergency Water Main Repairs III in the amount of
$100,000 with an option to renew one (1) time.
SETEX Construction Corp., has completed the first $100,000 of work closing out the first
contract. Due to the fact that the number of outstanding water main repairs continues to be higher
than normal, staff recommends that the agreement be renewed, not to exceed $100,000.
