Athletic Business 1996 Architectural Showcase
Facility of Merit Award - NRHzO
Athletic Business Magazine's 9th Annual Showcase on Architecture featured 70 facilities
constructed throughout the United States and Canada within the past three years in their
June 1996 issue. This fall, each of the facilities profiled in the Architectural Showcase was
judged by a panel of leading sports, recreation and fitness facility architects, who chose
the top 10 projects to receive Athletic Business' coveted Facility of Merit Awards.
We are pleased to announce that NRHzO, the North Richland Hills Family Water Park, was
selected as one of the 10 Facility of Merit Award winners! An announcement and photo
spread will appear in the December issue of Athletic Business Magazine. The Facility of
Merit awards will be presented at an awards dinner, emceed by sportscaster Greg Gumbel,
December 13, 1996, at the Athletic Business Conference in Orlando, A video presentation
of NRHzO, along with the other winners, will be shown at the awards dinner.
.
Faéilities evaluated and judged included colleges/Universities, YMCA, h~spital fitness
centers, military recreation facilities, public recreation, municipal, private, health clubs, and
even professional and semi-professional sports facilities. Competition was tough, as
construction budgets for nominated projects were as high as $191 million. Some of the
projects nominated, that you may be familiar with, include The Ballpark in Arlington, the
Texas A & M University Student Recreation Center, and the FleetCenter (new home of the
Boston Celtics and Boston Bruins). NRHzO was one of three public/municipal facilities
selected out of the ten winners.
We would like to acknowledge our design team of Brinkley-Sargent Architects,
Councilman/Hunsaker Aquatics Consultants and Kendall Landscape, Inc. for their
outstanding architectural work. I would also like to recognize the efforts of our staff design
management team which included Bill Thornton and Monica Sue Walsh.
,It is a privilege to work with a Mayor and City Council that encourages quality design and
construction of "first class" facilities. It is with great pride that we share the news of this
prestigious award.

III. Discussion about Texas Teen Court Association Conference held in Bay City,
October 9-11, 1996. The City of North Richland Hills Teen Court was the proud recipient
of the association's "Spotlight Achievement Award." Part of the reason for this award is
the addition of innovative programs to the Teen Court program. (Please read about both
accomplishments in the November newsletter!) Additionally, Kristina picked up a great
deal of information. After she sorts through it, she will discuss interesting/pertinent
resources with the board.
IV. Discussion about the implementation of educational/behavioral programs within
Teen Court: Kristina discussed liability issues with the City Attorney, Rex McEntire, who
gave the go-ahead to begin signing teens up. Sign-up for the programs will begin in
January. The board decided that quadruple credit should be given for time spent in these
programs. However, no credit will be awarded (except for unusual circumstances) unless
each participant actually completes the entire program. Kristina will come up with a time-

Council Meeting Date: 11/11/96
Subject:
Consider establishing pool wastewater
discharge and lot grading regulations for
swimming pools.
Agenda Number: GN 96-135
Ordinance No. 2154
Attached is Ordinance Number 2154, which (1) establish regulations for the proper disposal of swimming
pool wastewater, and (2) requires pool contractors meet certain drainage and lot grading standards.
The City Council adopted swimming pool regulations in February 1995 which established standards for
the operation of public and semi-public pools, such as those at motels and health clubs. However,
current regulations for private swimming pools are inadequate and do not address proper disposal of
swimming pool wastewater or pools constructed with little or no drainage consideration. Over the past
several years, the City has relied on the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission's prohibition
against illegal discharges by requiring pool wastewater discharges only through lines connected to the
city sanitary sewer. Ft. Worth, Arlington, Piano, Dallas, Richardson, Carrollton and Irving are a few of
the area cities that require similar sanitary sewer connection in lieu of discharging pool wastewater to the
yard. Hurst allows homeowners to discharge pool water to the street. Ordinance 2154 establishes
regulations which are consistent with practices used in North Richland Hills over the past several years.
.
The proposed ordinance establishes new drainage and lot grading requirements for pool contractors.
The City Council adopted lot grading requirements for newly constructed houses in July 1995. However,
there are no similar requirements for pool contractors. Many drainage problems occur when swimming
pools are constructed close to a side or rear property line and drainage flows are changed when the
backfill is sloped all the way to the property line. The proposed ordinance will (1) require pool
contractors to submit a proposed drainage plan showing how the lot will drain as a prerequisite to
obtaining a building permit, and (2) prevent pool contractors from filling any property within two feet of a
side or rear property line. For special conditions, the regulations allow a drainage plan prepared by a
registered professional engineer to deviate from the established criteria.
If approved, staff will schedule a workshop for area pool contractors to explain the new regulations.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve Ordinance Number 2154.

Inter-local Agreement for Solid Waste Grant Funds for Mobile ~q
Subject: Collection Unit for Household Hazardous Waste & Resolution No. 96~genda No: GN 96-137
The attached Interlocal Agreement allows the City of North Richland Hills to enter into an agreement for the
disbursement of funds to purchase the Mobile Unit for Household Hazardous Waste Collection to be
available for use by the following cities: Haltom City, Grapevine, Richland Hills, Southlake, Keller, Bedford,
Euless, Colleyville and the un-incorporated areas of Tarrant County.
As provided for in IR96-87, North Richland Hills applied for and received a grant from the Texas Natural
Resource Conservation Commission through the North Central Texas Council of Governments for a unit to
provide local collection of household hazardous waste several times each year in the individual cities rather
than one yearly collection day. This type of collection will be more feasible with the opening of the
Household Hazardous Materials Collection Center by the City of Fort Worth in the winter of 1997.
The Interlocal Agreement provides for a time line to design and write specifications for the unit and supplies
to operate it, follow proper city purchasing procedures, develop an interlocal agreement among the
participating cities, and schedule use of the unit throughout the year.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution No. 96-69 and authorize the Mayor to enter into
the required inter-local agreement for purchase of a Mobile Collection Unit for Household Hazardous Waste
Collection.

Council Meeting Date: 11/11/96
Subject Authorize Purchase of IBM Operating System
Software Upgrade
Agenda Number: PU 96-87
In the 1996/97 approved budget, Council appropriated funds for the upgrade of the AS/400
computer operating software for City HaU, Police Department and the RS/6000 used for the
Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The current versions of these operating systems
will not be supported by IBM after December 31, 1996.
Although we will be replacing the AS/400 systems within 12 months, this upgrade is
essential as it includes new communication software for attachment to our local and wide
area network plan.
This software is only available from IBM, and the cost of these software upgrades are as
follows:
IBM AS/400 - Police Department
IBM AS/400 - City Hall
RS/6000 - GIS
$7,225
6,783
2.063
$16,071
The prices offered by IBM for these upgrades are State of Texas contract pricing.
Fundina Source:
16-01-02-3445
16-01-06-3445
$14,008
$ 2,063
Recommendation: It is recommended City Council authorize the purchase of the AS/400
and the RS/6000 operating software upgrade from IBM in the amount of $16,071.

Council Meeting Date: 11/11/96
Subject: Award Bid for Annual Supply of Utility Bills
and Envelopes
Agenda Number: PU 96-88
In the 1996/97 approved budget, Council appropriated funds for the purchase of utility bills,
envelopes and courtesy envelopes. Formal bids were solicited for an annual supply and
the results are outlined below.
Nationwide Papers
$ 9,939 (Incomplete bid)
F.J. Business Forms
$15.446
Worth Business Forms
--
''':'.'!. ....::
Bums Graphics
$22,736
The specifications requested vendors print 252,000 bills and 504,000 envelopes for North
Richland Hills and 112,000 bills and 224,000 envelopes for Watauga. Since the City has
no storage space for this order, the specifications required the successful bidder to
warehouse the bills and envelopes and deliver on an as need basis. The bid submitted by
F.J. Business Forms was a complete bid, but the bills and envelopes would be stored in
Dewey, Oklahoma and would take approximately one week to receive a delivery. Because
of unforseen problems, Staff feels it would be more beneficial to have the bills and
envelopes stored at a closer location where a delivery can be made within one hour after
an order is placed.
The bid submitted by Nationwide Papers was not a complete bid and did not meet the
minimum specifications. Worth Business Forms met all the specifications and general
conditions of the bid and can have the order completed in four weeks.
Recommendation: It is recommended City Council award the bid for an annual supply of
utility bills and envelopes to Worth Business Forms in the amount of $15,921.

Re: Recommendation for Award of Contract
Miscellaneous Overland Relief Projects
Dear Mike:
·
Bids for the above project were received and opened in the city
hall on October 22, 1996. The low bidder was Yoko Construction,
Inc. of Dallas, Texas. Their bid was $136,426.50 with a con-
struction time of 120 calendar days. This bid was within budget
and in line with the Engineer's Opinion of Probable Cost. The
bid was not skewed or heavily weighted toward any item of con-
struction or part of the job.
Yoko Construction is a new company with only three other jobs to
their credit. They have a sister company, Yoko Trucking, Inc.
which has the same stockholders (Diane and Javier Alonzo) and a
13 year established track record. I have checked with references
provided by the bidder for all three construction jobs and a
random selection of the references for Yoko Trucking,
Two of the construction references reported that the work was
satisfactory and timely and that they would have no problem using
Yoko again, The third reference said that, while his project was
still in progress, he was satisfied so far. The trucking refer-
ences include some companies with whom Yoko is now in competi-
tion. The references were nevertheless universally glowing with
comments like "they do what they say they're going to do", "easy
to work with", "honest" and "a premium service at a bargain
price."
·
I have examined Yoko Trucking's financial statement and it shows
a surplus of current assets over current liabilities. They are
also making a net income of approximately $19,000 per month for
the period January through August 1996. Retained earnings are
$156,570.00 as of August 31, 1996.

Mr. Mike Curtis
November 4, 1996 - Page 2 of 2
The most current financial statement available for Yoko Construc-
tion was for July 1996. A current financial statement for Yoko
Construction is not yet available, but I have talked with their
accountant (Ron Blumka, CPA, Blumka & Co, P.C.) who said that he
was working on it. He says that Yoko Construction has shown an
operating profit since July 1996, but is still in a net loss
position (approximately $12,000 as of July 31, 1996) because of
start-up costs. He said that it was his opinion that Yoko
Construction's current balance sheet was reasonable for a new
company and pointed out that the Alonzo's have adequate income
from Yoko Trucking to support any short term loss.
I have talked with their bonding agent, Kathy R. Zacharek of
International Surety & Casualty Company. Yoko Construction's
bonding limit is $750,000.00 with $350,000.00± available. She
has certified that her company will provide bonds for this job.
Her company performed financial and personal background checks on
the Alonzo and their businesses before agreeing to bond their
work. Yoko Construction, Inc. and Yoko Trucking, Inc. are cross
indemnified on the bonds, making the assets of both parties
available, if necessary, to the bonding company. To the city, it
also means that the contractor has a strong interest in perform-
ing since all of his assets are at risk if he fails to perform.
Based on their low bid and upon my investigations as detailed
above, it is my recommendation that this contract be awarded to
Yoko Construction, Inc. in the amount of $136,426.50.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call.
Sincerely,
HANNON ENGINEERING, INC.

incurred on this project. The two year period of maintenance will begin on this date, and
therefore, will terminate on October 31, 1998. The maintenance obligation includes repair of
concrete pavement cracking, and failure of any concrete structures constructed by the

and repair of sanitary sewer system malfunctions.

City Secretary Council Meeting Date:
Payment of Annual Membership Dues to NCTCOG Agenda Number:
for FIscal year 1996/97 In the amount of $::>, l::>::>.UU
11/11/96
PAY 96-12
Subject:
In the past the payment of the City's membership dues to North Central Texas Council of Governments
did not need to be submitted to Council for approval. Because the dues for fiscal year 1996/97 are over
$5,000, Council approval is required. The dues are based upon the estimated 1996 population of 51,550
at $.10 per capita.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council authorize the payment of the annual membership dues to the North
Central Texas Council of Governments for the period October 1, 1996 through September 30, 1997 in the
amount of $5,155.00.
