Proposed amendments to the "AG" Agricultural District regulations
Recently staff was approached by an individual desiring to construct a "greenhouse" on
agriculturally-zoned property at 7308 Continental Boulevard. The purpose of the greenhouse
was to produce arugula, a salad green for use at area restaurants. The plant was to be grown
using "hydroponics", a method where no soil is used.
As staff researched the proposed use it became apparent that the Zoning Ordinance contained
some ambiguities, conflicts and inconsistencies with regard to uses permitted in the "AG"
Agricultural District. In an effort to remedy this situation, staff is seeking input from the Council
concerning the review and possible amendment of the Zoning Ordinance regarding the
Agricultural District. Staff suggests that a review of the Agricultural District by the Planning and
Zoning Commission be conducted with the idea of returning any recommendations on ordinance
amendments to the Council before the end of the year.

Presentation on Economic Development Web Site
www.nrhupclose.com
The Economic Development Department continues to work closely to identify opportunities
for development within North Richland Hills. As a result of continued interest from citizens
and potential investors in accessing data from the internet, the Department has been working
on a specific web site dedicated to economic development activities. The purpose of this
Pre-Council agenda item is to introduce the new Economic Development Web Site.
In cooperation with the Information Services Department, the Council of Governments, the
North Texas Data Exchange as well as data and information obtained in-house, staff has
recently launched a new comprehensive NRH economic development web site. The new
economic development web site will have easy links to the main NRH web site and is
designated as www.nrhupclose.com.
This web site is comprehensive and contains information on demographics, quality of life,
economic development .plans and programs, a complete listing of businesses and specific
information on all available buildings and sites. Staff looks forward in presenting this new
web site and wishes to thank the Information Services Department, the Council of
Governments and the North Texas Data Exchange for their cooperation to be able to pull all
this information together into a single web site.

Update on Quad Cities DFW Foundation
Representatives from the cities of Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Richland Hills and
Watauga, the school districts of BISD and Keller ISD and the Northeast Tarrant Chamber
continue to meet bi-monthly to promote our unique area that has been named Quad Cities
DFW. The Foundation Board includes 15 members made up of one appointed and one
elected member from each entity, plus one business person at-large. Larry Cunningham and
Frank Metts are the board representatives for the City of North Richland Hills. Bill Schopper
serves as the at-large member and current chairman on the Foundation Board.
The Foundation has no paid staff, but is housed in the Northeast Tarrant Chamber of
Commerce building. Bob Hamilton and the Economic Development Directors from each city
serve as volunteer staff for providing backup and resources to the Board. The Quad Cities
DFW Foundation is in its second year of operation and is funded by an annual fee from each
city and the chamber of $10,000 each. The Birdville School District provides $5,000 cash
and $5,000 in-kind services through advertisement at the Birdville Fine Arts and Athletic
Complex. Keller ISD contributes $2,500 annually, and private company donations
contributed include another $10,000. Quad Cities DFW is an organization separate from the
Chamber of Commerce with equal representation from all seven entities.
Bob Hamilton, President of the Northeast Tarrant Chamber of Commerce will be making a
brief presentation Monday night to update the North Richland Hills City Council on Quad
Cities DFW activities and will be showing a video of a recent Quad Cities Channel 8 Family
First event.
The Quad Cities DFW Foundation recently had a half day planning session and created a
strategic plan for the coming year. The major strategies of the plan include five specific
areas: Business Recruitment, MarketinQ, Transportation LobbvinQ, Multi-jurisdictional
Corridors, and Business Retention.
Staff will continue to provide periodic updates to the North Richland Hills City Council
regarding Foundation efforts.

freeze and senior tax exemptions. Mr. Sapp felt that if the focus had been on the
solution and not the problem the focus now would be on those senior and disabled
residents that neither a tax freeze or tax exemptions will help. Mr. Sapp stated that to
help those seniors additional available resources will have to be marshaled such as
volunteer efforts, city services and organized charities. Mr. Sapp stated he would be
happy to participate in such efforts.
Mr. Ken Jendel, 8017 Valley Drive, representing 10 individuals who acknowledged they
were present in the audience, advised it had come to their attention that a contract of
sales had been signed for the agriculturally zoned property located at 7308 Continental
Trail for the purpose of building a 5,000 square foot hydroponics greenhouse. Mr.
Jendel provided the Council with a packet of information relevant to the topic. Mr.
Jendel stated that such use is in violation of restrictions found in city ordinances and
that the commercial venture would affect property values and way of life. Mr. Jendel
expressed concerns with truck traffic, noise pollution and discharge of water and
chemicals into the neighborhood as a result of such a venture.
Mayor Trevino asked the City Manager to have Staff contact Mr. Jendel and for the City
Attorney to review the packet of information provided to Council.
Mr. Jeff Paul, 5125 Colorado Boulevard, asked those who supported the tax act of 2004
to come up with a plan to help the senior citizens in the community who do not own
property. Mr. Paul stated those who live in apartment units will not receive the benefit
of the senior tax freeze. Mr. Paul questioned what would be done to help those seniors
who have given to the community and do not own property.
Ms. Myrtis Byrd, 7312 Hialeah Circle, spoke on the senior tax freeze. Ms. Byrd stated
that the City is not losing money because Tarrant Appraisal District raises values every
year and that more support needed to be put towards Police and Fire Departments.

Mr. Dave Green, Director of Planning, presented the case summary and the
recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission. Applicant is proposing to
combine this tract with adjacent R-2 property and develop a 22-lot single family
subdivision. The existing zoning pattern in this property does not relate well to the
current street pattern. The tract of land is situated between an existing residentially
zoned tract and the Little Bear Creek Floodplain with less than 100 feet of frontage onto
North Tarrant Parkway. The configuration and insufficient street frontage is not
conducive to commercial development.
In response to questions from Council, the Public Works Director addressed the traffic
impact of the two streets coming out onto North Tarrant Parkway and future lighting on
North Tarrant Parkway.

2800 regulates the use, quantity and location of recreational vehicles in recreational
areas. Ordinance No. 2800 will permit recreational vehicles in residentially-zoned areas
under certain conditions. The proposed ordinance permits existing recreational
vehicles to remain parked or stored on residential lots as long as they do not violate
existing regulations and provides the following definitions and criteria:
· Definitions for recreational vehicles, front, side and rear yards, corner lot and
improved surface;
· Recreational vehicles shall not be used for living, sleeping, home occupation or
household purposes when parked on a residential lot;
· An exception is provided for those individuals that are not residents of the
property to use and park a recreational vehicle in the driveway or on an approved
surface for a period up to 16 consecutive days during a calendar year;
· One recreational vehicle may be stored or parked in the front yard of a residence
if located in the driveway or on an improved surface. The vehicle must be
situation at a right angle to the adjacent street. Existing recreational vehicles
meeting this criteria are permitted to remain;
· One recreational vehicle may be stored or parked in a side yard of a residence if
on an improved surface;
· Any number of recreational vehicles may be stored or parked in the rear yard of
a residence if located either on an improved surface or screened from public
view by a 6' solid fence;
· Recreational vehicles located in the rear yard of a residence are exempt from the
provisions of the Nuisance Ordinance regarding screening and paved surfaces.
The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of proposed Ordinance
No. 2800 on August 19, 2004.
Ordinance No. 2801 establishes criteria for the location of any vehicle (including
recreational vehicles), boats, trailers, campers or camper tops in residential areas and
includes the following:
· No vehicle, boat, trailer, camper or camper top more than 7' in height shall be
parked, placed, or stored in any public right-of-way between the back of the
street curb and a point 9 %' back from the curb. If there is no street curb, then a
point 9 %' back from the edge of the street pavement;
· Fifth wheel trailers may protrude into the 9 %' setback if the elevated part of the
trailer (gooseneck over the hitch) is elevated a minimum of 5' above the ground;
· Regulations do not apply to street construction, maintenance and repair
equipment, trucks, equipment and vehicles used by public service companies,
and moving vans in the process of loading or unloading;
· Repeals Section16-71 of the Code of Ordinances concerning the parking of
vehicles on public streets;

. Repeals Ordinance Nos. 2751 and 2753 regarding the parking of vehicles in
residential areas.
The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of Ordinance No. 2801 on
August 19, 2004. Staff recommends an implementation date of January 1,2005 for
Section 1 of proposed Ordinance No. 2801.
Mr. Mike Curtis, Public Works Director, explained the reason for the 9 %' setback
requirement and presented scenarios of line of sight on typical residential streets.
Ms. JoAnn Stout, Neighborhood Services Director, reviewed the implementation
process. Because Ordinance No. 2800 will become part of the Zoning Ordinance any
existing recreational vehicle could be considered legally non-conforming and therefore
can remain. In order for Code Enforcement to know if the property is legally non-
conforming a registration process has been set in place. The registration process will
require each existing recreational vehicle owner to fill out a registration form if they
comply with Ordinance No. 2801. Ordinance No. 2800 allows all existing recreational
vehicles to remain as they are today while Ordinance No. 2801 is retroactive.
Allowances will be made for any vehicle taller than 7 feet to be 9 1/2' back of curb.
Mr. Staples, City Attorney explained that legal non-conforming means that if it is legal
today it will be legal tomorrow whether Council approves ordinance or not.
Ms. Stout advised that Staff is recommending that Council consider changing the
current enforcement date from October 1 to January 1 in order to allow citizens ample
time to register their vehicles. Ms. Stout advised no fees are associated with the
registration and that all properties that are legally non-conforming will be entered into a
database and will be mapped so code officers will have the information available as
they drive the neighborhoods. Any recreational vehicle after the passage of the
ordinance will have to comply with the entirety of Ordinance Nos. 2800 and 2801. Once
registration is received Code Enforcement will verify and confirm the location of the
recreational vehicles on the property. Any vehicle currently obstructing the 9 %' setback
restriction and taller than 7 feet will be asked to be relocated. Vehicles that protrude
into the sidewalk area will also be asked to be relocated.
Mr. Don Bowen, past Chair of Planning & Zoning Commission, briefed the Council on
the work of the Commission, their concerns, research, considerations, public hearings
held and citizen input received.
After questions and comments from the Council, Mayor Trevino called for those wishing
to speak in opposition to TR 2004-04, Ordinance No. 2800 or TR 2004-05, Ordinance
No. 2801 to come forward.
Mr. James Jenkins did not wish to speak but requested his opposition to Items 10 and
11 be recorded.

Subject: City ReQulations for Hours of Sale of Alcoholic Beveraoes - Agenda Number: GN ~OO4-O92
Ordinance No. 2805
As discussed during the last Pre-Council meeting, the recent approval of wine sales in our
City and changes made by the last legislature make it necessary to amend the City's
alcoholic beverage regulations. The proposed ordinance places limitations on hours of
sale for wine in accordance with state regulations and reflects changes made by the last
legislature to permissive regulation of late hour permits. The legislature amended the
Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code to limit on-premise sales of alcoholic beverages between
midnight and 2:00 a.m. in cities under 500,000 who pass ordinarjces allowing late hour
sales. The proposed ordinance will conform the city's hours of sale of beer for off-premise
consumption to the state standards.
Recommendation:
To approve Ordinance No. 2805.

Agenda Number: GN2004-095
CASE· SUMMARY:
In July of 2002, City Council approved Ordinance 2640 (amending Ordinance 2374, Sign

within the Freeway Overlay Zone or not associated with major retail/commercial
developments containing a minimum 200,000 square feet of total floor area. Staff has
consistently applied this ordinance, with approval of the City Attorney, since its passage in

No.6, the ordinancelÎmitation on pole signs and serves as a housekeeping measure to
clarify past and current application of the sign ordinance. This amendment will not affect
past or present sign ordinance interpretations.
The City Attorney has reviewed this amendment and supports its recommendation for
approval and adoption by City Council.

Council Meeting Date: Sep. 27, 2004
Subject: Consideration of the Award of a Contract to Par FloorinQ. Agenda Number: PU 2004-037
LP in the Amount of $79,560 for Carpet Replacement
The 2003/04 approved CIP budget includes appropriated funds for the replacement of carpet
at the Municipal Library. The carpet is 17 years old and is the original carpet that was
installed when the building was purchased by the City. The carpet in the public service areas
of the library has become badly faded, stained and soiled from heavy use. Some sections of
the carpet have been destroyed by water damage, especially in the Children's Room and the
Employment Information Center. Replacement of the carpet is considered essential in order
to provide a clean, healthy and welcoming environment for the public. Although the Library is
intended to be replaced in the future, it is thought that it will take a minimum of three (3) years
to be constructed; therefore justifying the replacement cost of a mid grade carpet.
Proposals were recently solicited for replacement of the carpet in all areas of the Library, but
were broken down into three distinct sections: Main Library, Children's Library and Offices
and Work Areas. The proposal totals and budget resources are as follows:
The Invironmentalists
Par Flooring, LP
Flooring Tectonics, Inc.
$104,835
$115,520
$121,272
,,"--,
----------------------
Original project budget
$81,527
After the proposals were turned in and it was determined that we would have difficulty
accomplishing the project within budget, Staff determined we could probably reduce the costs
through at least two methods. One way was to have the work done during the day time hours
rather than through the night. Originally Staff intended to have the carpet replaced after hours
to minimize the service disruption to the Library patrons. In order to accomplish the daytime
installation, the Library would have to be closed for several days. We believe that given
sufficient notice to the Library users, this will be acceptable. Staff also realized that to keep
the project within budget we would need to scale back the areas to be re-carpeted. It was
determined that the public areas were the most important for aesthetic and quality of service
reasons. These public areas include the Main Library and the Children's Library. The Staff
offices and work areas have been removed from the proposed project.

Negotiations were first conducted with representatives of The Invironmentalists, who
submitted the lowest initial proposal. After failing to reach a satisfactory agreement with
that company for the changes needed by the City, negotiations were open'ed with Par
Flooring who submitted the second leading proposal. Par Flooring was successful in
revising their proposal to come within the project budget. They were able to do this by
excluding the non-public areas and adjusting their price to do the work during normal
working hours. Under their revised proposal, Par Flooring agrees to re-carpet the
public areas of the Library, during regular business hours, for a total contract price
of $79,560.
The Library will be closed for approximately 3 days during the process to permit the work
to be done. Library users will have at least 30 days notice in advance of the closing.
Telephone and online services will be maintained throughout the process. It is expected
that the work will be accomplished in the later part of October.
Recommendation: To award a contract for the Library carpet replacement project to Par
Flooring, LP in the amount of $79,560.

Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $93,228.52 for the
North Tarrant Parkway (Davis Boulevard to Precinct Line Road)
Street Improvement Project
This CIP project consisted of the construction of North Tarrant Parkway as a 6 lane divided
roadway. The length of the project was approximately 1,500 feet and included drainage
improvements and street lighting in accordance to the City's standards.
The project was awarded by Council on January 28, 2002, PW 2002-002 for
$4,573,433.01. The contractor's total earnings on the project are $4,534,192.43, which is
$39,240.58 under the contract amount. The cost savings are primarify due to unused
contingency funds.
The project however was not completed within the time allotted by the contract. Staff is
recommending that liquidated damages be assessed on the project.
The contractual completion date was December 25, 2002. Based upon daily inspection
records, the project was substantially completed 30 days beyond the contractual
completion date.
Staff recommends that a total of 30 days liquidated damages be assessed at $500 per day
for a total of $15,000. The contractor is aware of staff's recommendation and is in
agreement.
Recommendation: Approve final payment to J.L. Bertram Construction, Inc. in the amount
of $108,228.52 less $15,000 in liquidated damages for a total final payment of $93,228.52.

Glenann Drainage Improvement Project
This project consisted of the construction of storm drainage improvements in Main Street
from Walkers Branch to Chilton Drive and storm drainage improvements in Glenann Drive
and Sherri Lane. The project was constructed to prevent flooding of homes.
The project was awarded by Council on October 13, 2003, PW 2003-115, for
$1,180,209.69 to Hall-Albert Construction Company. Final payment will make the
contractor's total earnings on the project $1,107,973.24, which is $72,236.45 under the
contract amount. The cost savings are attributable to reductions in the quantities of certain
pay items due to modifications of the design resulting from field conditions and unused
miscellaneous funds. The project was completed within the allotted contract time.
Recommendation: To approve final payment in the amount of $64,084.80 to Hall-Albert
Construction Company.

Re: 3-382, CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS,
MAIN STREET STORM DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS,
CONTRACTOR'S ESTIMATE NO. 11 & FINAL
For your action, we enclose Contractor's Estimate No. ]] (Final) for the referenced project. Your
representative, Scott Walker, has verified the acceptability of the field conditions and completed
construction quantities. The attached Contractor's Affidavit of Final Payment and Release was
executed in accordance with the requirements ofItem 3.2.29 of the project's Contract Documents.
We recommend that the City of North Richland Hills accept the project as satisfactorily completed and
issue final payment in the amount of $64,084.80 to Hall-Albert Construction Company, 201 N.E.
29th Street, Fort Worth, Texas 76106. The enclosed Construction Project Status Report and
Breakdown of Payments present a summary of the project for your consideration.
The project's Maintenance Bond requires the Contactor to maintain and keep in good repair the work
constructed and/or the equipment and materials furnished by him under this contract for a 2-yearperiod.
The provisions of the Bond commence on the date of final payment by the City.
The final Contract cost of$l, 107,973.24 results in a $72,236.45 savings from the original Contract cost
of $1,180,209.69; the latter cost was approved by Council action on October 13, 2003. Although the
Final Estimate indicates that the Contractor exceeded the Contract time, the project was substantially
completed prior to the scheduled completion date - we do not recommend the assessment ofliquidated
damages.
Please call me if you have any questions or require additional infonnation in this regard.

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
Department: City ManaQer's Office
Council Meeting Date: 9/27/2004
Subject: AuthorizinQ SiQnature for 2005 CAPP Electric Services
Resolution No. 2004-065
Agenda Number: GN 2004-093
Electric .deregulation began January 1, 2002 as a result of legislation that was passed in
1999. As 2002 approached, the City had a choice to continue to purchase electricity from
TXU or to join with a group of cities to try and purchase power at cheaper rates using
economies of scale. The City of North Richland Hills met with various coalition groups
regarding deregulated electric service and in May of 2001, it was determined that Cities
Aggregation Power Project (CAAP) would offer the best opportunity to save money when
purchasing electricity. CAAP seeks bids for electricity based on the estimated total
kilowatt hours to be used by its members. An energy consultant is used to evaluate the
bids as well as negotiate pricing and contract terms for CAPP members.
For the 'past three years, many cities in Texas have banded together through CAPP to
purchas'e their electricity under the electric deregulation rules. For the 2005 year, about 80
entities are joining together for this purchase. This represents the fourth year for the City
of North Richland Hills to participate in CAPP and achieve electrical savings by such
participation.
To allow for the CAPP member cities to act promptly and enter into power contracts under
the most favorable terms, CAPP is asking each city to pass a resolution designating an
individual to enter into a power contract on behalf of the City. The proposed Resolution
authorizes the City Manager or his designee to sign a contract when the prices become
available, hopefully in October or November.
Recommendation:
To approve Resolution No. 2004-065authorizing'the~CityManager or his designee to sign
a contract when the prices become available.

RESOLUTION NO. 2004-065
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS,
TEXAS AUTHORIZING THE CITIES AGGREGATION POWER
PROJECT, INC. TO NEGOTIATE AN ELECTRIC SUPPLY
AGREEMENT FOR DELIVERIES OF ELECTRICITY EFFECTIVE
JANUARY 1, 2005; AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR HIS
DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE A CONTRACTWITHCAPP FOR THE
CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS' 2005 ELECTRICTY NEEDS;
AND COMMITTING TO BUDGET FOR ENERGY PURCHASES IN
2005 AND TO HONOR THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS'
COMMITMENTS TO PURCHASE POWER FOR ITS ELECTRICAL
NEEDS IN 2005 THROUGH CAPPo
WHEREAS, the City of North Richland Hills, Texas (City) is a member of
Cities Aggregation Power Project, Inc. (CAPP), a nonprofit political subdivision
corporation dedicated to securing electric power for its more than 80 members in
the competitive retail market; and
WHEREAS, CAPP negotiated favorable contract terms and reasonable
commodity price for delivered electricity in 2002, 2003, and 2004 resulting in
significant savings off of the Price to Beat (PTB) rate for its members; and
WHEREAS, preliminary information provided to the CAPP Board indicates
that entering into a wholesale power contract, as distinct from a retail contract,
effective January 1, 2005, may provide the greatest potential for savings for
CAPP members over the regulated PTB rate; and
WHEREAS, potential wholesale power providers desire to execute a
contract with one, and only one, entity rather than have unique contracts for each
CAPP member; and
WHEREAS, CAPP believes that the pricing opportunity window for
favorable 2005 deliveries under either a wholesale or retail agreement will be
short-lived (in the September to mid-November time period) and that CAPP must
be able to commit contractually to prices within a 24-hour period in order to lock-
in favorable prices regardless of whether CAPP continues its historic practice of
retail agreements or enters the wholesale market; and
WHEREAS, experiences in contracting for 2002-2004 demonstrated that
Retail Electric Providers demand immediate response to an offer and may
penalize delay with higher prices; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary for the City to contract for a supply of
electricity for 2005 or at least partially revert to PTB rates; and
WHEREAS, CAPP's current delivered energy prices provide savings when
measured against t~e PTB rate, and PTB rates will likely continue to remain
higher than prices CAPP can achieve on behalf of the City; and
WHEREAS, wholesale suppliers demand assurance that CAPP will pay
for all contracted load; and
WEHREAS, the City of North Richland Hills needs to assure CAPP that it
will budget for energy purchases in 2005 and honor its commitments to purchase
power for its electrical needs in 2005 through CAPP.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NORTH RICH LAND HILLS, TEXAS:
1. That the CAPP Board and its consultants and advisors will evaluate
for the City wholesale power supply contract options for 2005 as compared to a
retail electric delivery contract for 2005 and, if feasible, 2006.
2. That the City Manager or his designee is hereby authorized to sign an
electric power agreement pursuant to the contract approved and recommended
by the CAPP Board of Directors.
3. That the City will budget and approve funds necessary to pay
electricity costs proportionate to the City's load under the supply agreement
(whether wholesale or retail) arranged by CAPPo
4. That a copy of the resolution shall be sent to Mary Bunkley with the
City Attorney's office in Arlington and Geoffrey M. Gay, legal counsel to CAPPo
PASSED this 2¡th day of September, 2004 by the City Council of the City
of North Richland Hills, Texas.

The City of North Richland Hills outsourced the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) billing and
collection function to Southwest General Services (SGS) in October 1999. The initial term of the
contract was for a period of thirty-six (36) months with an option to renew for two (2) one (1) - year
terms. The option to renew was executed for both years and will be exhausted as of September 30,
2004. The contract guaranteed SGS would achieve a 56% collection rate on the gross amount
billable or suffer a penalty of 25% of the current month's commission fee. The commission fee paid to
SGS was 10% of the gross amount collected.
Requests for proposal were sent out seeking services including:
1. Billing and collection of Emergency Medical Services using the necessary billing forms providing
all required reports of activity to the City and reporting agencies.
2. The ability of the successful contractor to receive North Richland Hills' EMS billing database in
an electronic format that is compatible with the Contractor's billing system at the contractor's
cost.
3. Must be knowledgeable of and abide by billing requirements for Medicare, Medicaid and
Worker's Compensation patients, and hold the City harmless for contractor error.
4. Collection methods that comply with all applieabl'e Federal, State, and Local laws.
5. The ability to collect accounts that are delinquent before and after the contract takes affect.
6. A contract period of 36 months with two one-year options to renew.
7. A guaranteed collection rate.
8. A commission based on percentage of dollars collected.
Requests for proposals were sent to seven potential companies. Three companies responded with
proposals. The following criteria were used to evaluate the proposals:
a. completeness of the proposal to all required items
b. cost evaluation
c. experience of personnel who will be working the NRH accounts
d. proven ability of the Contractor to perform the services required
e. procedures used in accounts receivable management and collection of delinquemt

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
The Finance Department, Fire Department (EMS Division) and City Managers Office evaluated the three
proposals and options that were received. Staff also met with the company representatives of the
proposal judged the best by all departments.
The proposal which successfully met all of the requirements is SGS located in Dallas, Texas. SGS has
been in the business of delivering comprehensive eMS Billing and COllection Solutions to public and
private ambulance services for over twenty years. SGS is proposing a program that would allow for the
continuing improvement of the emergency billing and collection system that has provided the City of
North Richland Hills with increased revenues each yEilar for the past five (5) years.
The proposal from SGS will guarantee a 61 % (up from the current 56%) Collection Rate measured at
the end of a 6-month collection period. If the 61 % level is not reached the City will deduct 25% from the
proposed commission. This penalty will apply to every month in which the guaranteed rate is not
achieved.
SGS proposed two options. The first option proposas a commission rate of 6% (down from the current
10%). This option is based on the City's current method of collecting and transmitting billing data which
does not include the use of mobile data computers.
SGS also included an option in which they will prøvide a mobile data computer (MDC) system. The
system will include five (5) laptop computers, five (5) docking stations, five (5) printers, software
licensing, training and support and maintenance for five years. The value of this system based on prices
researched by the NRH Information Services Department could be as high as $91,500. The commission
rates proposed by SGS for the mobile data system option are 9% for the first three years and 7.5% for
years four and five if the contract is extended.
Both of these options were analyzed by City staff (see attached spreadsheets). The first spreadsheet
analysis compares SGS option 1 and SGS option. 2 which includes the estimated value of the MDC
system as described above. Based on the proposed contract guaranteed collection of 61 % and the
commissions as stated above, the mobile data computer option provides a slightly better overall value
for the first three years (about $40,000 more) as well as the five year total (about $23,000).
The second spreadsheet analysis compares the same two options using an estimated actual collection
percentage (65%) which is based on SGS' actual performance over the past year. This is slightly higher
than SGS proposed guaranteed collection percentage (61%). Option 2, which includes the MDC system,
also assumes a higher collection rate of 70% beginning in year 2 and continuing through 5. This
assumption is based on the assertion by SGS that the MDC technology will improve collections by as
much as 10%. The illustration uses a more cons~rvative increase of 5% in years 2 through year 5.
Based on these assumptions, net collections over five years would be about $100,000 greater under the
MDC option. The overall value including the MDC system would be about $191,000 higher than option 1
over five years. Staff recommends the MDC option.
Over the past five years SGS has been an invaluable source of knowlédge and experience in the billing
and collection of EMS revenue. Their staff maintains a highly professional relationship with both the
City's employees and the users of this service. Through their expertise and the vigilant efforts of City
staff, the City of North Richland Hills has increased EMS revenues every year for the past five years.
Recommendation
To approve Resolution No. 2004-066 awarding the Emergency Medical Service billing and collection
contract, MDC Option, to Southwest General Services, Inc. and authorizing the City Manager to sign the
contract.

Tank Repaint and Rehabilitation Projectto N.G. Painting, L.P. '
in the Amount of $264,900.00
The Booth-Calloway Ground $torage Tank Repaint and Rehabilitation project consists of the
repair and repainting of the existing 2 million gallon ground storage tank and booster pump
station located at Conn Drive and Booth-Calloway Road. Site cleanup is also part of the total
scope of work planned for this project. The repair work for the booster pump station is
complete. The two remaining portions of this project consist of the repair and repainting of the
2 million gallon tank and the site cleanup. The portion of the project being recommended for
award of bid is the repair and painting of the tank. The site cleanup and the installation of an
emergency power source (generator discussed during July 2004 Council Budget Work
Session) is not anticipated to begin until after the tank portion is completed.
The existing water tank has not been painted in approximately 20 years. Generally, water
tanks need to be painted once every 12 to 15 years. The existing paint is in such poor
condition that the inspector for the Texas Commi$sion on Environmental Quality (TCEQ)
noted their concerns about the painted surface of the water tank in one of their inspections.
Bids for the tank repair and painting portion were received on August 12, 2004. Six
contractors submitted bids. The bid results are shown below.
