stated there was no truth to the rumor, and suggested Mr. Wells contact
Director of Public Works Mark Pavageaux after the meeting.

ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 2005-107 APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO AN ENGINEERING
SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH CARTER AND BURGESS, INC. RELATIVE TO THE LAKE AND SUMP
IMPROVEMENTS NORTH OF IH-635 AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.
Mayor
Phelps presented the following information.
The construction of sump and lake improvements north of I-635 within Tax
Increment Financing Reinvestment Zone No. 1 is budgeted in the amount of
$3,000,000. Development Agreement No. 4
for this project was approved by the City Council on September 22, 2003. The Agreement provides the conditions for
which American Realty Trust, Inc. and Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc.,
the collective developer of the property adjacent to the sumps and lake, will
advance funds and receive reimbursement from TIF revenues for the design and
construction of the improvements.
On
October 13, 2003, City Council approved an engineering services agreement with
Carter and Burgess, Inc. in the amount of $118,240 to perform hydrologic and
hydraulic analysis and to develop alternative configurations for the sump and
lake improvements. The services included surveying, preliminary street design,
and platting of the street rights-of-way.
On
April 19, 2004, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to include landscape
architectural services in the amount of $25,150 to develop a conceptual design
of lake amenities and bank treatments. Amendment No. 2 in the amount $10,000
was executed by the City Manager on June 20, 2005 for additional professional
services to evaluate alternative flood storage elevations and to refine
concepts for a plaza, pedestrian bridges, and a fountain.
Amendment
No. 3 is proposed to the engineering services agreement in an amount not to
exceed $24,800 for engineering services to revise the lake and sump
configuration, flood storage master plan, realign Knightsbridge Road, and
replat the Knightsbridge Road right-of-way. The revisions will increase the
amount of developable land. The final design of improvements and preparation of
construction plans and specifications will be performed under a separate
agreement.
As per
the terms of the Development Agreement, the developer previously advanced the
funds for the engineering services agreement including Amendments Nos. 1 and 2,
and has now advanced funds for Amendment No. 3.
The
City Engineer recommends approval of Resolution No. 2005-107 approving
Amendment No. 3 to the engineering services agreement with Carter and Burgess,
Inc. relative to sump and lake improvements north of I-635 in the amount not to
exceed $24,800.
Deputy
Mayor Pro Tem Robinson asked if this was converted from the above ground sump
to the below ground sump and if this is the project where the contractor
defaulted. City Engineer Jerry Murawski
replied that Amendment No. 3 is to the engineering services agreement with
Carter and Burgess, Inc., specifically, the configuration of the sump on the
west side. The sump is where storm
water is collected within the levees on the West Side and then conveyed by
pumps or pipes into the Elm Fork of the Trinity River.
There
being no further discussion, a motion by Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Robinson,
seconded by Councilwoman Smith, all voting “aye,” adopted Resolution No.
2005-107 approving Amendment No. 3 to the engineering services agreement with
Carter and Burgess, Inc. relative to sump and lake improvements north of I-635

D.3 CONSIDER
ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 2005-101 REJECTING ALL BIDS FOR MALLON PARK LAKE
IMPROVEMENTS AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.
Mayor
Phelps presented the following information.
Mallon Park lake improvements are budgeted in the 2004-05 Non-Bond
Capital Improvement Program Fund Budget in the amount of $200,000. The improvements consist of dredging the
lake, repairing a section of failed retaining wall, and installing improvements
to prevent additional wall failures.
Four
bids were received and opened on August 2, 2005. The lowest bid received was from Linder Construction Company,
Inc. in the amount of $285,845.00, which substantially exceeds the project
budget. After the bids were received,
staff initiated discussions with the four bidders and two other contractors to
ascertain the reasons the bids were so high and to determine if the
improvements can be redesigned to lower cost. After meeting with the bidders
and other contractors, staff has determined that lower bids can be expected by
changing the design of the improvements.
Those changes include providing alternative designs for the improvements
to prevent additional wall failures and reducing the depth of the dredging from
eight feet to six feet. Staff recommends rejection of all the bids, redesign of
the improvements, and rebidding the project.
There
being no discussion, a motion by Mayor Pro Tem Bird, seconded by Councilwoman
Smith, all voting “aye,” adopted Resolution No. 2005-101, rejecting all bids
for Mallon Park Lake Improvements.
D.4 CONSIDER
APPOINTMENTS TO THE SCHOOL-COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMITTEE, THE COMMUNITY WATCH
COMMITTEE AND THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.
Mayor
Phelps stated the School-Community Relations Committee, the Community Watch
Committee and the Parks and Recreation Board would be brought back to the
September 19th City Council meeting.
D.5 DISCUSS
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ISSUES AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.
In
response to the national emergency created by Hurricane Katrina, the City of
Farmers Branch is involved and active in several areas of responsibility.
A total
of six City staff members are either in or bound for the region, or standing
by, to assist in rescue and recovery efforts. Firefighter/paramedic Dennis
Gross was activated with the Texas Task Force 1 Team for deployment to
Louisiana in advance of the hurricane’s projected landfall. On Monday, August
29, he advised that he was staged just north of New Orleans. Since that time,
four additional members of the Farmers Branch Fire Department are responding today
to the region in response to FEMA’s emergency call. They are Battalion Chief
Michael Lafon and Paramedic ESOs Ron Morrison, Jerry Cromer and Eric Hurley.
Also, Traffic Engineering employee Mark Gorton has been called to stand by for
Air National Guard duty in the area.
It is
expected that these members of the City staff will be gone for at least 30
days.
An emergency preparedness staff meeting was held at City
Hall on Friday, September 2 in order to gauge the City’s readiness to assist in
relief efforts. On Saturday morning, Assistant City Manager Mary Jane Stevenson
responded to a call from Dallas County District 1 Commissioner Maurine Dickey
to meet at Carrollton City Hall. Commissioner Dickey wanted to be briefed by
cities in her district on issues of current emergency response and
preparedness.
City staff has also been working with Farmers Branch
hotels. Farmers Branch hotels were housing hurricane evacuees in approximately
60 rooms. Staff has provided the hotels with contact information for C-FB ISD
in anticipation of education needs for children and is disseminating
information to interested individuals on relief efforts by Senior Adult
Services and the Metrocrest Social Service Center. A business on Valley View
Lane has acted as a collection center for the North Texas Food Bank through
this past weekend and is still collecting relief supplies today.
Other organized efforts have been initiated by Rotary and
other churches and community organizations that will be looking for volunteers
in the recovery effort. In addition,
several employees may need to take leave to go and assist immediate family
members in disaster recovery when that time is appropriate.
On
Thursday, September 1, the Dallas Chapter of the Salvation Army put out a call
for bottled water, baby food, diapers and other personal items to help supply
evacuees in the D/FW area. In response, City employees donated approximately
$850 in a matter of hours that was used to purchase those necessities that were
delivered to the Salvation Army that afternoon. City employees making the delivery reported waiting in a traffic
line for more than 30 minutes before being able to drop off the supplies.
In an
effort to assist those that may be looking for a way to help, the City’s web
site has links to FEMA, as well as other agencies, where a comprehensive list
of relief agencies may be found.
Farmers
Branch City staff and citizens obviously care greatly about the human toll of
this disaster and those persons who have had their lives so terribly affected. There are many means of providing assistance
that are being evaluated for use in the near and more distant future as
recovery will take months, and perhaps years.
Staff
recommends approval of Ordinance No. 2832 authorizing the City Manager or her designee
to be able to authorize emergency expenditures not to exceed $50,000 for
response to Hurricane Katrina until December 5, 2005.
A
motion by Councilwoman Smith, seconded by Councilman Moses, all voting “aye,”
approved the following captioned Ordinance No. 2832.
