Therefore, we have scheduled a special Pre-Council session in the Council Chambers at 5:15 p.m. Monday night. Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission and Park & Recreation Board have also been invited to attend so they may also receive these results. A representative of Arcadia Realty Corporation will begin by reviewing the company's original plans and detailing the credentials of the two consultants. Representatives of Denver-based Leland Consulting Group will present the Audience Generation Study (dealing with the proposed "entertainment core" of lakes, an amphitheatre and recreation center). Arcadia officials will also summarize the high points of the Market Position Analysis (MPA), which was prepared to quantify the market for such a development. ZimmermanNolk officials will be unable to attend due to conflicting schedules. e An Executive Summary of the report will be sent to you prior to Monday's meeting. Since so much data is being delivered to you on Monday, staff wants to allow you additional time to digest this information and ask more questions. Staff also needs another two to three weeks to review this work plan. Therefore, we recommend scheduling a follow-up Work Session in a few weeks to discuss the MPA and Audience Generation Study in greater detail, allow you to question ZimmermanNolk's two principals face-to-face and hear staff comments. .. We look forward to the preview of this information on Monday night. We reQuest Council to first go to the Pre-Council room at 5:15 p.m. Monday to open the meeting and then to recess to the Council Chambers. Respectfully submitted, ~ Marty Wieder Director of Economic Development MBW e ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 98-77 - \ ~ V Date: April 22, 1998 Subject: Status of EPA Order - Sewer System Improvements The City has still not received an official letter from John Stacy, EPA Engineer, who met with us on February 10, 1998 to review our proposal for sewer system improvements. Mr. Stacy told us about a month ago that he would have a letter to us in a couple of weeks. Yesterday, Mr. Stacy called our offices and left a message that he had been busy and had a lot of "bad excuses" for not already sending the letter. He indicated that everything is still in accord with his comments to us on February 10, 1998, that the City would be able to have five years to complete the project improvements. Mr. Stacy again stated that he would have the administrative order out to us within two weeks and that the only change we would see on the order, from what was discussed with us is that the beginning date, would be June 1, 1998 instead of April 1, 1998. His telephone comments indicated that we could proceed with the work as we outlined in the February 10,1998 meeting. We will continue discussing the letter with him, until such time as we actually receive it, as it is very important that we have this in writing. As we see it, however, we can proceed and this should not hold us up. In some respects it could be helpful by having the five years e begin from June 1, 1998. I just wanted to keep you informed about this. No action is needed at this time. Respectfully submitted, ~~ingham' City Manager LJC/gp e ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS e e - MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS MARCH 26, 1998 - 7:30 p.m. 1. CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order by Chairman David Barfield at 7:30 p.m. 2. ROLL CALL PRESENT Chairman David Barfield Don Ferguson Paul Miller Don Bowen Richard Davis Mark Wood ABSENT Ted Nehring CITY STAFF Deputy City Manager Planning Director Recording Secretary Planner Asst. Director/PW Staff Engineer Building Official Randy Shiflet Barry LeBaron Valerie Taylor Christopher Baker Kevin Miller Julia Skare Ed Dryden 3. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES OF MARCH 12, 1998 APPROVED Mr. Miller, seconded by Mr. Wood moved to approve the minutes of March 12, 1998. The motion carried with a vote of 6 - O. Messrs. Miller, Ferguson, Wood, Bowen, Davis and Barfield were in favor of this motion. Page 1 - 3/26/98 e 4. PS 98-02 REQUEST OF EAST-WEST PARTNERS, INC., FOR A PRELIMINARY PLAT TO BE KNOWN AS LOTS 1 & 2, BLOCK 1, EAST-WEST PARTNERS ADDITION. (LOCATED IN THE 8600 BLOCK OF DAVIS BOULEVARD) APPROVED Mr. LeBaron explained that this is a 5.2 acre tract of land currently zoned C-1 Commercial. It is at the newly formed intersection of Davis Blvd. and Precinct Line Road. A water line extension to the property is the only issue associated with this preliminary plat. Additionally, staff recommends a shared drive approach on Davis Blvd. and Precinct Line Road as well. Mr. Davis made the motion to approve PS 98-02 subject to engineers comments and with the clarification that a common drive entrance at the southwest corner of Lot 2 and the southeast corner be a shared entrance and another shared entrance between Lots 1 & 2. e Mr. Ferguson seconded the motion and it carried 6 - O. Messrs. Davis, Ferguson, Barfield, Bowen, Wood and Miller were in favor of this request. 5. PS 98-03 REQUEST OF GREG CLIFTON FOR A SHORT FORM FINAL PLAT TO BE I KNOWN AS lOT 1, BLOCK 1, CLIFTON ADDITION. (LOCATED AT 8912 AMUNDSON ROAD) APPROVED Mr. LeBaron explained that the applicant owns 2.3 acres and has an existing house on it. He is proposing a remodel on it and it triggers the need for platting the property. The property is currently zoned AG Agricultural and the applicant has been advised a zoning change will be required. He is not opposed to this and will make application for this prior to going to City Council. Because this is an older home, sewer and street improvements are both significant. Amundson and Walter Street are both un-improved streets at this location. The sewer extension will cost $4,000 and the street improvements total $74,000, he is asking for a waiver but is not opposed to signing a covenant for e these improvements. Staff recommends that should the Commission Page 2 - 3/26/98 e recommend the applicant sign a covenant, the price of sidewalks be included in that amount. Mr. Ferguson moved to approve PS 98-03 requiring a covenant for $74,000 for street and sidewalk improvements. The applicant is required to install the sewer. Mr. Wood seconded the motion and it carried 6 - O. Messrs. Ferguson, Wood, Davis, Barfield, Bowen and Miller were in favor of this request. 6. PZ 98-03 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF ALLAN YOUNG FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR USED VEHICLE SALES ON LOT 1, BLOCK 1, CAllOWAY ADDITION. (LOCATED AT 7700 NE LOOP 820) ORDINANCE NO. 2293 WITHDRAWN e Mr. LeBaron explained that this is a single lot that for years was the site of a service station. Mr. Young has purchased this property, which is currently zoned C-2 Commercial, to operate it as a used vehicle sales lot, which requires a Special Use Permit. The applicant hopes to eventually construct a new building on the lot that will conform to General Motors requirements, so he has not submitted a site plan, since he is unsure at this time what will take place. Chairman Barfield opened the public hearing and asked the applicant to come forward. Mr. Alan Young presented this request. He explained that he purchased this property with the ultimate plan of making it a part of his total dealer operation. Mr. Young plans on taking on an additional franchise, a Pontiac franchise. This property would be the location for this. However, the actual acquisition of this franchise could be timely, so he would like to utilize it as used vehicle sales until he obtains this franchise. It was the general consensus of the Commission that granting this request would set a precedent for Grapevine Highway to become another "Belknap", which is not the direction they want to go. Responding to a question, Mr. Young stated that he was seeking additional signage and visibility. Mr. Davis suggested that Mr. Young use this lot for his new cars, which is allowed in this zoning district by right, and would allow the additional signage he e is seeking. Page 3 - 3/26/98 e Mr. Young stated he did not have a problem with this and asked if he could withdraw his request for a Special Use Permit and was informed that he could. Mr. Young requested his request be withdrawn. Mr. Davis made the motion to accept Mr. Young's withdrawal request and encourage staff to assist Mr. Young in getting his Certificate of Occupancy for this portion of his new car facility. Mr. Miller seconded the motion and it carried 6 - O. Messrs. Davis, Miller, Ferguson, Barfield, Bowen and Wood were in favor of this request. e 7. PZ 98-12 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AMENDING THE MASONRY REQUIREMENTS IN THE 11 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, 12 MEDIUM INDUSTRIAL AND U INSTITUTIONAL DISTRICTS, AND REVISING THE NOTATION IN THE REMAINING PORTION OF ARTICLE 6. ORDINANCE NO. 2258 APPROVED Mr. LeBaron stated that over the past several months much discussion has taken place regarding the masonry requirements and whether they should be applicable to all zoning districts and not just some of them. Staff has drafted this regulation, incorporating ideas that have been presented in past workshops. The 75% masonry/brick requirement would be applicable to all non-residential zoning districts. Additionally, the ordinance was drafted in such a way that if someone wanted to deviate from the 75% requirement, site plan approval would be required from the Planning & Zoning Commission as well as the City Council. Additionally, the wording and outline form in the remainder of the ordinance was confusing and had gotten difficult to amend and explain. The wording has been rearranged, without changing any of the regulations, to give it proper outline notations. Mr. LeBaron stated that a representative from the Dry-vit industry is present to give a brief presentation of alternate type stucco materials that staff often has to deal with. e Mr. Doug Johnson distributed a sample of the EIFS System synthetic finish that is on the market today. He explained that this product has been on the market in the United States for about 20 years, but in Europe for 50 years. He stated that this product holds up very well and is becoming more popular. Page 4 - 3/26/98 e The Dry-vit is the only system that has a 20-ounce mesh, so it is extremely sturdy and also acts as insulation, which decreases utilities, He stated that Hudiburg Chevrolet is a current customer, they are using this material on their new facility currently under construction. This material has a 3 - 4 year warranty; stucco only carries a one-year warranty, Responding to a question, Mr. Johnson stated that he would be glad to come back and make a full presentation should the Commissioners change their regulations. Chairman Barfield opened the public hearing and called for any proponents. Seeing none, he called for any opponents. Seeing none the public hearing was closed. Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Wood, moved to approve PZ 98-12 amending the masonry requirement in the 11, 12 and U districts. Mr. Davis stated that he is not in favor of amending the types of materials allowed - he wants brick or stone - only. e Mr. LeBaron stated that he wanted to draw the Commission's attention to page 3 of the proposed ordinance, Section 605 (b), which has always stated that "masonry construction shall consist of any combination of brick, tile, stone, concrete block, or precast or reinforced concrete materials or materials of equal characteristics. This requirement shall apply to all wall sections on all floors above the finish floor level of the foundation." He stated this is where the question comes into play and if the Commission is uncomfortable with that, then the language may need to be changed. Mr. Davis stated that he would amend his motion to include the removal of the words "materials of equal characteristics" from this paragraph now and the definition can be amended later. Mr. Wood asked how this would affect the portable buildings at schools, since they are in the U Institutional zoning districts. Mr. LeBaron stated that when looking at the table in the proposed ordinance, omissions have been identified and portable classrooms fall into this category. The Commissioners determined they would continue to "overlook" these portable classrooms until they become a problem. e Page 5 - 3/26/98 e e e Mr. Wood suggested the table in the ordinance be changed regarding accessory buildings in U Institutional zones be changed to shown N/A or show specific guidelines for these portable classrooms. Mr. Davis stated he would add the amendment regarding temporary portable classrooms in the U Institutional districts to his motion. Having a motion and second before them, the vote was 6 - O. Messrs. Davis, Wood, Ferguson, Barfield, Bowen & Miller were in favor of this request. 8. PZ 98-13 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF MARVIN SMITH FOR REZONING FROM AG AGRICULTURAL TO R-1 RESIDENTIAL ON A PORTION OF TRACT 2, A-311, J. CONDRA SURVEY. (LOCATED IN THE 7600 BLOCK OF DOUGLAS lANE) APPROVED Chairman Barfield opened the public hearing and asked the applicant to come forward. Marvin Smith presented his request stating that he plans to build a new home on this property in the future. Chairman Barfield called for additional proponents. Seeing none, he called for opponents. Seeing none the public hearing was closed. Mr. Wood, seconded by Mr. Miller, moved to approve PZ 98-13. The motion carried 6 - O. Messrs. Wood, Miller, Davis, Ferguson, Barfield and Bowen were in favor of this request. \ 9. STAFF COMMENTS There were none. 10. CITIZEN COMMENTS There were none. Page 6 - 3/26/98 e e e 11.

Adjournment 7:30 Approved Recorder ~:'J' ; INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL N IR 98-76 o. . ,\ i'l ~~ Date: ¡J, Subject: V April 27, 1998 Rufe Snow Drive from IH 820 to Mid-Cities Boulevard; Traffic Control Plan The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) recently completed the review and approval of the environmental assessment for Rufe Snow Drive from IH 820 to Mid-Cities Boulevard. TxDOT has given the City's engineer authorization to begin final design of the project. The City's engineer is currently developing the traffic control plan (construction sequencing) for the project. The engineer preliminarily designed the most economical traffic control plan and presented it to staff. Although the plan presented was the most economical and provided the shortest project duration, it did not address a major concern expressed by many of the property owners during the public meetings. The property owners want to minimize the duration of construction at the major intersections, as well as the construction duration in front of their specific property. The plan presented provides the shortest total construction time, but does not provide the shortest construction time in front of each individual property. Two reasonable traffic control plans are summarized below: Traffic Control Plan #1 : . This is the plan presented by the engineer. It consists of three major phases (see Exhibit 1). Phase 1 is to begin construction at Mid-Cities Boulevard, constructing the east side first from Mid- Cities Boulevard to IH 820. The new pavement being constructed in this phase is shown in red on Exhibit 1. During Phase I, the traffic lanes will be reduced from five to four lanes and is indicated in green on Exhibit 1. Phase II consists of shifting the traffic to the east side (shown in green) while the new pavement is constructed on the west side (shown in red). Phase III consists of shifting the traffic to the outside lanes (shown in green) while the new pavement is constructed for the center lanes. Traffic Control Plan #2: This plan will be similar to Traffic Control Plan #1. The three phases shown in Exhibit 1 are exactly the same for both traffic control plans, The difference in the two plans are the limits of construction for each phase. In Traffic Control Plan #2 the project is divided into a north section and a south section (see Exhibit 2). The north section limits would be from Mid-Cities Boulevard to just south of Trinidad Drive. The south section begins just south of Trinidad Drive and continues to IH 820. The north section would be constructed first (Phases I, II and III), and then the south section, By dividing the project into the two sections, the length of construction for the intersections and in front of each property will be reduced. . ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS . . . Staff is planning to proceed with Traffic Control Plan #2 in order to help minimize the effect of the project on adjacent property owners.

During the last legislative session, the legislature changed the time period for conducting the canvass. The Election Code now states the canvass can not be any earlier than the third day or later than the sixth day after Election Day. The City Council will therefore need to conduct the canvass no earlier than Tuesday, May 5, and no later than Friday, May 8. Staff is requesting Council direction on the date to canvass this year's election.

We then developed an implementation plan and strategies for these priorities. Attached is a copy of the implementation plan and projected timetables to complete these. Also, attached is a copy of Lyle Sumek's report from the Goals Meeting. We would like to review the implementation plan at Pre-Council.

Tommy Brown - Mayor ATTEST: e Patricia Hutson - City Secretary / V CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department Planning & Inspections Council Meeting Date: 4/27/98 SubjectPublic Hearing to Consider the Request of Russ Garrison Agenda Number: PS 98-15 of Pipeline Road Church of Christ for a Thoroughfare Plan Amendment to Delete Simmons Drive North of Mid-Cities Blvd. Ordinance No. 2297 Pipeline Church of Christ is proposing to plat and develop 17 acres of property north of Mid-Cities Boulevard and east of Cardinal Lane for a new church facility. The currently adopted Master Thoroughfare Plan indicates an extension of Simmons Drive from Mid-Cities Blvd. north to Main Street. The proposed Simmons Drive extension is indicated to be a C-2-U and will be bisecting the proposed church property, making it extremely difficult to develop in the intended manner. The Planning Department and the Public Works are not opposed to the removal of Simmons Drive from the Thoroughfare Plan at this location because it is not proposed to directly align with Simmons Drive south of Mid-Cities Boulevard (see attached copy of the thoroughfare plan at this location). The Planning Department's opinion of the request is that it would have no significant adverse affect on the overall transportation network of the City because both Cardinal Lane and Martin Drive are existing and could be improved to handle any additional traffic flow resulting from future development in the area. Additionally, even if the proposed Arcadia development does get constructed on the south side of Mid-Cities Boulevard, Simmons Drive would be of little benefit. The improvement of portions of Cardinal Lane and Martin Drive would satisfy any additional traffic demands generated by the Arcadia development. The segment of Simmons Drive between Martin Dr. and Main St. will remain on the thoroughfare plan since the pavement already exists. Staff has notified those property owners directly affected by the proposed Master Thoroughfare Plan amendment. In reviewing the Thoroughfare Plan for the entire City, it appears as if the removal of Simmons Drive would have negligible negative impact on traffic patterns, access, and mobility for the citizens of NRH. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this at their April 9, 1998 meeting and recommended approval to delete this portion of Simmons Drive from the Master Thoroughfare Plan. RECOMMENDA TION: It is recommended that the City Council hold the required public hearing and consider the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission.

Loop 820 North Richland Hills, TX 76180 RE: Public Hearing Request for Amendment to Thoroughfare Plan Dear Calyton: The Pipeline Road Church of Christ has entered into a contract for the purchase of approximately 18 acres of property at the 7000 block of Mid-Cities Blvd. Critical to the development of this property by the Church would be consideration by the P & Z Commission and City Council of amending the thoroughfare plan for the deletion of the Proposed Simmons Drive extension to Mid-Cites Blvd. We are very respectful of the due consideration that the P & Z Commission must take on all amendments and revisions to the Thoroughfare plan. We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss these issues and request a scheduled Public Hearing for this purpose. We believe, that with consideration, it can be shown that the proposed extension will not provide the residents of North Richland Hills with any improved access which does not already exist with Martin/Cardinal Drive to the west of the property. It is noted that the construction of Mid-Cities Blvd. provided a median cut and tumlanes at the Cardinal to Mid-Cities intersection and this intersection would be within 500-600 feet of the proposed Simmons extension.

Department: Economic Development Council Meeting Date: 4/27/98 G N 98-50 Subject: Presentation of Conceptual Financial Plan to Create Agenda Number: a Richland Plaza Tax Increment Financing District On February 23, Council approved the revision of the Mackey Creek Channel Improvements and passed a resolution expressing the City's intent to create a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District in and around the Richland Plaza shopping center development. Such a district was proposed by staff to help fund the approximately $900,000 more than the original improvements as passed in the 1985 Bond Election. Chapter 311 of the Texas Tax Code states that a City may initiate the creation of a TIF District if the area's present condition "substantially impairs City growth" or has "substandard or deteriorating, faulty layout, unsanitary or unsafe conditions that endanger life". Upon creation of a TIF district, the existing tax value in the designated district would be temporarily frozen--with all additional improvements dedicated to paying off the Mackey Creek north channel improvements. The project would be debt financed, with the life of the TIF proceeding until the bonds were retired. While we will approach all five taxing entities to help share the burden of paying for these improvements, the City will assume bond oversight and accountability. ince the last discussion with Council, staff has worked with representatives of First Southwest Company to prepare the attached conceptualized financial plan for your review and comment--as stipulated by State law. With your acceptance of this conceptualized plan, we will go to work on a formal financing plan and a project plan, which will later be presented to the other taxing jurisdictions. Following a series of public meetings and formal votes to participate in the TIF zone, you will then appoint a TIF District Board with representation from each taxing entity. RECOMMENDA TION It is the recommendation of City staff that Council accept the Richland Plaza TIF District conceptualized financial plan and authorize preparation of a formal financing plan and project plan.

The Captured Assessed Valuation is the real property which is added to the tax base after Zone is created. The Captured Assessed Valuation does not include nersonal nronertv. The Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone has no taxing powers; however, participating political subdivisions' tax revenues generated on the Captured Assessed Valuation are diverted to the Tax Increment Fund. Tax increment revenues can only be used for the benefit of the property within the Zone, including paying for capital improvements and paying debt service on bonds issued for improvements, A Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone has a defined period of existence which is generally related to the term of debt. Once the Zone is abolished, the tax revenues are no longer diverted to the Tax Increment Fund. The City creates the Zone and is the issuer of debt. Other participating political subdivisions allow their tax revenues to be diverted to the Tax Increment Fund and have representation on the TIRZ Board. I '- I I I I I I I .

According to these Guidelines & Criteria, the City may grant property tax abatements of up to 500% of investment by a business in eligible property for manufacturing, research, regional distribution, regional service, regional entertainment/tourism or regional retail facilities, as well as for the equipment and facilities used in other basic industry. In 1997, Council members informally agreed to limit future abatements to no more than 50% of the value of new improvements in a single year. Yet as presently written, the Guidelines & Criteria allow up to 100% of value in a single year. Thus, staff is proposing an amendment to resolve this difference. Also, NRH may have the opportunity to add a number of new major entertainment facilities in the coming months--and in the process, attract more sales tax revenues to the City. Yet the Guidelines & Criteria's definition for "Regional EntertainmentITourism Facility" reads as follows: ~). "Regional EntertainmenUTourism Facility" means buildings and structures, including fixed machinery and equipment, used or to be used to provide entertainment and/or tourism related services, from which a majority of revenues generated by activity at the facility are derived from outside Tarrant County (my emphasis). If the Council was to amend the Guidelines and Criteria to state that a majority of revenues generated by activity at the facility "are derived from outside North Richland Hills"--as is stated in the definition for "Regional Retail Facility"--it may help our City's chances of attracting these major entertainment attractions over one of our adjoining Cities. To help ensure that such investments are substantial, however, it is necessary to recommend that such investments be not less than five million ($5,000,OOO)--as is also required for regional retail facilities. RECOMMENDATION It is the recommendation of City staff that Council adopt Resolution 98-21-·A Resolution Amending Guidelines and Criteria For Granting Tax Abatement in Reinvestment Zones Created in the City of North Richland Hills.

RESOLUTION NO. 98- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS AMENDING GUIDELINES & CRITERIA FOR GRANTING TAX ABATEMENT IN REINVESTMENT ZONES CREATED IN THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS. WHEREAS, the North Richland Hills City Council has previously adopted a set of "Guidelines & Criteria" for granting tax abatement in reinvestment zones created within the City of North Richland Hills, Texas; and WHEREAS, the adopted "Guidelines & Criteria" authorize abatements for approved manufacturing, research, regional distribution, regional service, regional entertainment/tourism, regional retail, regional health care or other basic industry facilities; and WHEREAS, the "Guidelines & Criteria" presently allow the value of an abatement to total 100 percent of the value of eligible property improvements in a single year; and . WHEREAS, the North Richland Hills City Council has taken an informal position in the past year of limiting the value of future abatements to not exceed 50 percent of value of eligible property in a single year; and WHEREAS, the present "Guidelines & Criteria" definitions for regional retail and regional entertainment/tourism facilities differ as to geographic source of a majority of revenues and amount of minimum investment required for abatement qualification; and WHEREAS, both regional retail and regional entertainment/tourism facilities can generate large amounts of sales tax revenues for the City. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the North Richland Hills City Council does hereby amend the "Guidelines & Criteria" for granting tax abatement in reinvestment zones created within the City of North Richland Hills, Texas, as follows (items changed or amended are underlined): Section 1, DEFINITIONS: (n) "Regional EntertainmentITourism Facility" means buildings and structures, including fixed machinery and equipment, used or to be used to provide entertainment and/or tourism-related services, from which a majority of revenues generated by activity at the facility are derived from outside North Richland Hills. Section 2, ABATEMENT AUTHORIZED, (I) Economic Qualification, (1) and (3) to read . as follows: . . (1) For a new facility (with the exception of a regional retail or regional entertainment/tourism facility), be reasonably expected to invest not more than three million dollars ($3,000,000) in the facility (including both eligible and ineligible property) within three years from commencement of construction and be expected to create employment for not less than 10 persons associated with production of goods and services as the authorized facility on a full-time permanent basis in the City of North Richland Hills. (3) For regional retail and regional entertainment/tourism facilities, be reasonably expect to invest not less than five million ($5,000,000) in the facility (including both eligible and ineligible property) with three years from the commencement of construction and be expected to create employment for not less than 10 persons associated with the production of goods and services at the authorized facility on a full-time, permanent basis in the City of North Richland Hills.

Since 1992 the City has been replacing the old standard meters with Badger telemetric meters at a rate of approximately 1,800 per year. At the February 23, 1998 meeting, Council approved Ordinance No. 2281 authorizing a one-year plan that will complete the city-wide conversion to telemetric meters. The Ordinance also authorized inclusion of funds for the purchase and installation of approximately 9,500 telemetric meters in the 1998 bond sale (GN 98-25). In order to speedup the conversion process as well as generate additional revenue by having more efficient water meters installed, formal bids were solicited for an outside company to complete the installation of these meters. Three bids were requested with one bid submitted by ProSource Group, Inc. in the amount of $274,339. The budget for this project is $316,240. Because of the technology involved the specifications requested bidders have experience installing Trace/Badger radio frequency pit water meters. They are the only local company with this type of experience. ProSource Group met all the specifications and general conditions of the bid . and can complete the installation in 180 working days. The references checked stated the company is very responsive, knowledgeable and is completing the project within the required time line. The City will enter into a contract immediately upon approval of this bid with ProSource Group. The specifications and contract will require the contractor to document each meter that is installed and to thoroughly test each new installation to insure the meter was installed and works correctly. The installations will also be inspected by City crews. The contractor will be paid monthly only for the number of meters that have been correctly installed. The contract also includes liquidated damages of $100 per day for each day past the 180-day project completion time.

Sunbelt Distributors, Inc. City of North Richland Hills/NRH20 By: By: Title: Larry J. Cunningham, City Manager By: By: Title: Rex L. McEntire, Attorney for the City Date: Date: 5 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: I nformation Services Council Meeting Date: 4/27/98 Subject: Rescind Bid Award For Fiber Optics Construction Agenda Number: ,PU 98-37 Staff is greatly concerned about the performance of Matson Builders, who was awarded the bid for fiber optics construction at the February 23, 1998 Council meeting. Staff believes it to be in the best interest of the City to rescind the award and re-bid the project based on the following information. Mr. Bruce Schremp of Technology Decisions Incorporated (TDI) who was hired by the City for professional assistance with this project is also in concurrence that the City should re-bid the project. The RFP outlined, in detail, the responsibilities of the successful Bidder are to build a "turn-key" fiber optic network using any combination of aerial or buried fiber. The requirements included the design, engineering, construction as well as obtaining all permits for the project. From February 23 to this writing, Matson has performed minimal work on the project and construction has not started. Attached is a list of chronological events supporting this decision. Key points to consider are: 1. Matson was awarded the bid for $405,406.79 on February 23, 1998; 2. Matson has declined to sign a contract with the City; 3. TU Electric has stated that Matson did not seek permission from TU to attach fiber to TU's utility poles within North Richland Hills; 4. TU Electric has declined the City's written request to attach our fiber to their poles within North Richland Hills; 5. Matson has submitted a counter offer in the amount of $518,947.37, an increase of $113,540.58 to install a total underground solution. In summary, Staff and TDI believe that Matson has not performed in an acceptable manner for a cohesive professional business relationship on a project of this magnitude. Matson has also attempted to shift major responsibilities for this project to the City. Recommendation: Council reject the latest counter offer from Matson Builders, rescind the award to Matson and allow staff to re-bid the fiber optics project.

Estimated 6-8 weeks to complete - April 9, 1998. * Matson faxed new price quote to City of $518,947.37 ($113,540.58 increase) to design and install totally underground solution - April 10, 1998 * City receives official correspondence from Bruce Schremp of TDI on April 13, 1998, stating that Matson has not complied with the requirements of the RFP to coordinate with the appropriate public utilities and has not been forthright with the City or TDI thus causing considerable delay in the project. TDI recommends the City not pay the additional charges and that Matson should install the fiber underground for the originally negotiated price of $405,407 or the City should re- bid the project. * Official correspondence received from TU Electric stating that their records do not reflect any request from Matson for make-ready cost or line assessments _ April 14, 1998. City sends second request to TU Electric regarding allowing City to place fiber on TU's poles - April 14, 1998. TU sends official correspondence to City stating" TU Electric's present policy is to allow only those entities described in the 1996 Federal Communications Act on our poles." - April 16, 1998. CITY OF N@RTH RICHLAND HILLS . Inf~rmation Services Department April 22, 1998 Mr. Paul Albini Matson Builders 21330 IH 35 Kyle, TX 78640 Dear Mr. Albini: The City of North Richland Hills advertised for a turn-key fiber optic solution under Proposal #97-765. Section "D." of the proposal states that "bidders are reminded that the selected Vendor is responsible for all design and engineering, Right-of-Way coordination, materials acquisition, construction and installation, testing, and both warranty and maintenance. This is a turn-key project and requires end-to-end connectivity including all building entrance facilities." Matson Builders submitted a written proposal to the City on December 8, 1997. Matson also submitted a best and final offer on January 21, 1998, in the amount of $405,406.79. The City awarded the bid to Matson on February 23, 1998. . '" As it appeared that very little work was being accomplished on this project, the City requested a meeting with Matson on April 6, 1998 to discuss progress being made by Matson. From this meeting, we understand from your employee Jimmy Martin, that Matson has placed this project on hold. At this time, the City of North Richland Hills is seeking official notification from Matson Builders regarding whether or not Matson intends to complete the fiber optic project. The City of North Richland Hills awarded the bid in good faith to Matson to install a "turn- key" fiber optic network as outlined in the proposal. Matson made no exceptions to any components of the RFP. Barry Mosher, a Matson employee at the time, also met with the City and Bruce Schremp of TDI in best and final offer meetings. Matson was asked repeatedly if they had obtained permission from TU Electric to place fiber on TU's poles within North Richland Hills. Mr. Mosher's response was yes they had. This is verified by Bruce Schremp of TDI and myself. The City has received official notification from TU Electric that Matson has, at no time, requested the placement of fiber within the City of North Richland Hills. The City has also received notification from TU Electric that the City's request to place fiber on TU utility poles will not be honored. . P.O. Box 820609· North Rich/and Hills, Texas. 76182-0609 7301 Northeast Loop 820 ·817-581·5757 . FAX 817-656-7545 . Page 2 The City has several major computer projects that are dependent upon the completion of this fiber optic network. One of these activities is the Public Safety project which will connect our 911 Police Dispatch facility to the Fire Department and surrounding facilities. Other public safety systems such as the Police Auto Impound and Property and Evidence are also affected. Payroll, Accounting, Purchasing, Fleet as well as connections to local area networks also depend on this fiber link. The non-performance exhibited by Matson has resulted in unnecessary and significant delays and consequently, several such projects are behind schedule. Any further delays will be costly to the City as alternate methods of transporting data will be required. The City has already had to install an ISDN line for access to the existing Police computer system because of these delays. . It is the City's position that Matson should complete the fiber optic project, underground, at the agreed upon price of $405,406.79 per the official proposal submitted by Matson and that a signed copy of the contract be executed and delivered to our office by 10:00 a.m. CDT on Friday, April 24, 1998. Additionally, a copy of this same contract should be faxed to 817-656-7545 by 4:00 p.m. CDT on Thursday, April 23, 1998. Finally, an official faxed notification from Matson needs to be received by this office no '. later than 4:00 p.m. CDT on Thursday, April 23, 1998 as to the intentions of Matson. The City would appreciate Matson's full cooperation in this matter. 1\ Re pectfully, fJ~ Mr. Terry. D.

The company has lost a significant number of their key staff, undergone a reduction in force, and the annual report of its independent auditors indicate there is "substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern." No contract has been executed with ETC to date. Recommendation: Staff recommends the City proactively protect its interests and rescind approval to negotiate with ETC and grant approval to negotiate services with Phoenix Group Services. .

The list of proposed improvements is shown below: 1. Shelter on the north side of the golf course, 2. Erosion control at Holes #3, #9, and #10, 3. Dredging at Holes #3 and #5. 4. Additional bunker at Hole #8. 5. Concrete maintenance road, 6. Creek clean-up at Holes #14 and #15. 7. Teaching shelter. 8. Construct new Hole at #14. Currently, $281,925 has been expended on the improvements indicated in #2 above and on erosion improvements made to Hole #11. Some of the improvements and repairs made could have been completed at a lower cost, if they had been done two or three years .earlier. Because of this, the City Manager suggested that the Iron Horse Golf Course have a Master Plan developed to prioritize the remaining improvements and to identify potential future problems. City staff has been assisting Iron Horse Golf Course staff in selecting an engineering firm to develop a Master Drainage/Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan. The selection process consisted of obtaining names of engineering/architecture firms from other golf courses and people in the golfing industry. In addition, staff contacted firms that they felt qualified for this study. A list of eleven firms was developed and is shown below. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Change Order No. 1 consists of replacing a badly cracked and deteriorating 12- inch sanitary sewer main running north of Harwood Road across the Silverado Addition. The contractor for the developer of the Silverado Addition property uncovered the 12-inch sewer main in four locations to construct manholes for connecting proposed sewer lines. When he exposed the main, we found the vitrified clay pipe cracked longitudinally on top, side, and bottom. Also, it seems to be cracked at the connection joints that were uncovered. The attached pictures depict the pipe's condition in all four locations where it was exposed. The main is also outside of the existing 10-foot wide easement the majority of its length. It is staff's recommendation the entire 1,129 feet of 12-inch sewer main from the north curb of Harwood Road north to the manhole at the north property line of Lot 1, Block 1, Silverado Addition be replaced. The new line will be placed in the existing sanitary sewer easement. The cost for Change Order No. 1 is $44,031 with an increase in the original bid time of 14 days. With approval of the change order, the new contract amount will be $597,830.75. The use of a change order to an existing City project allows the work to be completed without causing a substantial delay for the developer. A second quote for this work by the utility contractor for the Silverado development was 11 % higher than the proposed change order price. Sufficient funds are available for this project in Unspecified Utility Fund Balance. Recommendation: Staff recommends Council approve Change Order NO.1 in the amount of $44,031 with a calendar day extension of 14 days and appropriation of funds as indicated above.
