INFORMAL REPORTTO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
No.
IR 92-147
Date: November 23, 1992
Subject: BEDFORD-EULESS ROAD from Grapevine Highway to Airport Freeway;
Incentive for Early Completion
The completion of the subject project becomes more critical the closer we get to the actual
beginning of construction on the IH 820/SH 26/SH 1 21 Interchange project. Also, we would all
like the project to be started after this Christmas season and finished before the 1993 Christmas
season. In order to encourage the contractor to finish the project as rapidly as possible, staff and
the consulting engineer propose a $300 per day incentive clause in the contract. It would offer
$300 for each day the contractor finishes before the calendar day time he bid. There will be
allowance for an unusual amount of rain days. The contractor will have to completely finish the
project to qualify for the bonus/incentive pay. The incentive pay will be limited to a maximum of
$30,000.
The contract will also call for liquidated damages in the amount of $300 per day for time spent
over the bid time to reach substantial completion. Substantial completion will be defined as the
point in time which the contractor has all work on the paved surface including drive approaches
complete and open to traffic. Attached is a copy of the section of contract documents covering
these items for your review.
Staff would appreciate your guidance in the use of this incentive (bonus) pay provision in the
contract for the subject project.
Respectfully submitted,
GWD/smm

3.2.12 CONTRACT TIME. ~IOU.DATED DAMAGE$~ ANO~ONU~: Contract time shall be
counted in "Calendar Days·. It is understood and agreed that time is of the essence
in this Contractf therefore completion time for this Contract is hereby set to end
on November 3. 1993 based on a proposed work order date of January 7, 1993 and a
Contract coœpletion time of ~ Calendar Days. .It is further understood and agreed
that for each calendar day of delay beyond the completion date of this Contract.
(after due allowance for such extension of time as is provided herein and as
provided in Items 3.2.13 and 3.2.29). the Contractor shall pay to the Owner as
liquidated damages for each day of such delay the sum of S300.00, it being
understood between the parties hereto that such sum shall be treated as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, and the Owner may withhold from the Contractor's
compensation such sums as liquidated damages.
Should the Contractor "fully complete" the project in less than 300 Calendar Days,
Contractor shall receive a ~ in the amount of $300.00 times the difference
between 300 and the actual number of calendar days to full completion. However, in
no case shall the Contractor's Bonus exceed S30.0QQ. Should the Contractor fail to
have the project ·substantially complete'· at the end of 300 calendar days, the
Contractor shall be assessed liquidated damages in the amount of $300.00 times the
difference between the actual number of calendar days to substantial completion and
the 300 calendar days.
uFull Completion" required to earn any bonus shall mean finishing ill the work of
the Contract, including clean-up and all other operations, as opposed to lesser
degrees of completion based upon degree of usability.
"Substantial Completion" which is the condition at which liquidated damages cease to
be assessed for time overrun shall mean that all work w;thtn the areas of the
driving surfaces (from curb to curb). shall be fully completed, but incidental work,
beyond the curbs not requiring heavy machinery which might damage the curb or
pavement, need not be complete provided its condition does not prohibit or restrict
the movement of traffic on the completed driving surface of Bedford·Euless Road.
ITEM "4.02 EXTENSION OF TIME- and its modification under Ite~ 3.1.04(a) are hereby
further modified to provide that extensions of the fixed 300 Calendar Days
completion time may be effected only by the OWner's execution of a change order with
which the Contractor shall furnish full documentation of the basis for the change.
This item is also hereby conditioned that abnormal or extreme rainfall or other
precipitation will be considered as cause for extension of the contract time as
provided in Item 3.2.13, "Weather DelaysR. Similarly, other weather or
climatological extremes (freezing, heat, etc.) shall be considered as cause for
extension of contract time only during calendar months when such causes of delay
occur in excess of the average number of days based on DFW Airport records. The
Contractor shall also furnish daily ·On-site Observation Reports- and/or other
information to show that the abnormal or extreme weather conditions did actua11y
cause a delay in the work.
Delays which may be caused to the Contractor due to work by other utility companies
may be considered for extension of time, as covered in Item 3.2.29, ·Utility
Delays", only if no other work not directly in conflict with the utility relocation
operations can be performed on the Project. The Owner's decision on time extension
allowances is final.

The fall softball season has begun with 225 participants making 17

ITEM 5: RICHFIELD PARK PARKING LOT UPDATE
Mr. Browne presented the two Richfield Park parking lot preliminary
drawings to the Board for their review and comment. The Board
discussed the various options to the drawings.

approximately $225,000. The Committee agreed to continue to collect
information to form opinions to forward to the Board for
recommendations.
ITEM 7: "ROOM RENTAL POLICY" COMMITTEE REPORT
Ms. Walsh stated that the committee met on Tuesday, September 29, 1992
to evaluate the existing policy and make recommendations as needed.
There was discussion on the religious and political policy as well as
who will make the decision on which groups will be allowed use of the
facility. The City Attorney suggested eliminating Item 15 from the
policy and offer "due process" to religious/political groups with a
decision from the Community Services Director, or his designee, and
any grievance be presented to the City Manager's office within three
days from denial of use of city facilities. In the five years of the
Recreation Center there have been approximately 2,000 rentals and one
complaint.
Also discussed was a proposed fee increase "for profit" versus "non-
profit" groups from 5% to 25% from the total commission earned at any
one rental. The Committee felt that a 10% of commission fee would be
more fair. In addition, a change to limit "for profit" groups to meet
in the facility two times per month. This will keep city facilities
from being used as a "place of business". Non-profit groups will not
be limited on their number of rentals.
The policy will be brought back to the Board for review and
recommendation to Council after the City Attorney's office has
completed the change. Discussion was held.

ITEM 8: CITY/SCHOOL COOPERATIVE PLANNING COMMITTEE UPDATE
The City/School Cooperative Planning Committee met on September 15,
1992 and prepared the "Agreement to Share Facilities and Equipment
Between the Birdville ISD and the city of North Richland Hills". This
agreement is the direct result of an implementation recommendation
from the City's Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The agreement
addresses shared use of existing facilities and equipment and serves
as a "foundation" for future project planning, development, and
cooperative efforts.
On September 28, 1992, the City council and Birdville ISD Board of
Trustees joined at the Council meeting to adopt the attached agreement
and to continue to work together to find ways to more effectively and
efficiently serve our common constituencies. This historic
accomplishment is a direct result of our Park Master Plan and the
efforts of the Parks and Recreation Board and City council.
Mr. Browne commended the Board and the members of the Board who have
served on the city/School Cooperative Committee. The Department has
already begun working with BlSD on new programs.
An alternative drawing to the preliminary drawing of the Richland High
School Multi-Sports Complex was presented to the Board displaying the
possible site of the TU Electric Substation located north of the
property. Along with this substation, there is an utility easement
that was designated for a parking lot which might not be available for
parking due to changes in TU Electric's attitude towards the proposed
use.
Further discussion was held and no action was taken.
ITEM 9: CITY EMPLOYEES FEE POLICY FOR USE OF RECREATION FITNESS
CENTER
The Board was asked to consider a proposal which would allow City
employees usage of the fitness center at resident rates. Currently,
residents pay $28 per year and non-residents pay $80 per year.
Library services, with City Council approval, implemented a similar
policy allowing City employees full use of the Library based on
resident status.
The city employee use of the fitness center and gymnasium could
promote healthier and more fit employees which would benefit the City.
Discussion was held. Mr. Lambert made a motion to endorse this
concept and recommend that City council approve this proposal. Mr.
Davis seconded the motion. Vote was unanimous in favor of the motion.
ITEM 10: PARK LAND DONATION STATUS REPORT

debt on his property.) steps are being taken to transfer the property

for a Replat of Lots 1 and 32, Block G,
Richland Oaks Addition. This property is
located along Bedford-Euless Road, between
Nevada Trail and Eldorado Drive.
The City of North Richland Hills has purchased several lots along the
north side of Bedford-Euless Road for purposes of widening the Collector
Street to a five lane facility. Two of the lots are being replatted to
provide for additional right-of-way dedication with the balance of the
two lots remaining with the existing homes.
The two homes will be occupied as single family residential units. The
extra 30 feet of right-of-way being taken will push the twenty foot
side-yard building line back past the foundation on one of the homes by
2.8 feet. The location of the foundation has been shown on the plat to
acknowledge the II non-conformity II which will be approved with the
approval of the Replat. This procedure will prevent the need for future
owners of the home from having to obtain a side yard variance from the
Board of Adjustment.
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this Replat at their
October 22nd meeting and approved the Replat as presented.
RECOMM:ENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council hold the required public hearing

building line by 2.8 feet, and that Commission approval will essentially
give the variance that the Board of Adjustment would be giving. He
stated the Commission would be acknowledging them and recognizing
them, and it will avoid any confusion on future loan closings on this
property.

MEMO TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Kevin B. Miller, P.E.
Assistant Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: PS92-22; RICHLAND OAKS ADDITION; Block G, Lots 1 R & 32R; Replat
I have reviewed the subject documents submitted to this office on September 8 and offer
the following comments.
1. The City has obtained a Global Positioning System (GPS) Horizontal Control Survey.
This survey was accomplished to create an accurate base map for the Geographical
Information System. City policy requires that all new plats be tied by survey to the
GPS. This will allow the City to keep the GIS up-to-date. The Public Works
Department has written descriptions for all of the GPS Benchmarks located around
the City. This plat should therefor include the NAD83 Texas State Plane
Coordinates for at least two property corners. The coordinates should be
determined by a survey tied to the City's GPS monuments.
2. The bearing and distance for the new right-of-way line needs to be clearly shown.
3. The title block should be revised as shown.
4. The telephone numbers for the Owner (581-5500) should be added to the Plat.
5. The appropriate signatures should be added to the Owner's Acknowledgment and
Dedication. In addition the Surveyor's seal and signature should be added to the
plat.
6. The street intersections will require Sidewalk and Utility Easements as defined in
the Design Manual. The easements should be clearly indicated.
7. Building Setback lines should be added for the lots adjacent to this plat. These lots
are currently zoned R-1 which requires 20 foot side building lines. This may cause
a building encroachment on lot 1 R. The actual buildings need to be located on a
topographical exhibit.
8. Lot 1 R fronts on both Bedford Euless Road and Eldorado Drive. Access is currently
from Bedford Euless Road. Since this is a minor Arterial, a request has been made

to move the driveway approach to Eldorado Drive. Both locations are
noncompliant, however Public Works would prefer the access to come from a
residential street. 80th access' should not be allowed simultaneously, either now
or in the future. A note to this affect needs to be added to the plat.
9. The Zoning Ordinance requires sidewalks adjacent to all public streets. The
sidewalks need to be added to the construction plans.
10. The Master Drainage Plan does not indicate the need for additional drainage
improvements. Calculations were performed with the design of Bedford Euless
Road.

Request of Redbud Capital Inc. for Final
plat. of woodland TerIace. Tlli~ lJ.Lopel: ty i~genda Number:
located on the west side of Precinct Line
Road, just south of Nob Hill Drive.
PS 92-29
Redbud Capital has submitted a Final Plat of a 6.427 acre tract of land
located on the west side of Precinct Line Road, south of the Woodland
Oaks subdivision. This plat is the Woodland Terrace Addition. The
preliminary plat of this addition was approved by the Planning and
Zoning Commission on August 13, 1992. The property is zoned R-2 Single
Family Residential and all lots meet the minimum criteria of this zoning
district.
This property is adjacent to Precinct Line Road which is proposed for
widening by the Texas Department of Transportation. Additional right-
of-way has been included with the proposed plat. All water, sewer,
street and drainage facilities will be installed at the owner1s expense.
During the review of the Final Plat by the Planning and Zoning
Commission, the following comments were recommended for consideration:
* The developer will be required to escrow sufficient funds to cover
the costs associated with the future sidewalk construction. The
developer has agreed to escrow these funds with the City (approximately
$8.00 per linear foot).
* The developer has agreed to slgn a covenant to cover the costs of
relocating an existing six inch water line along Precinct Line Road and
have the covenant run for seven years on the two lots fronting on
Precinct Line Road.
The developer has agreed to all engineering comments.
This Final Plat was considered at the Planning and Zoning Commission at
their November 12th meeting and recommended approval as presented and
with the above additional comments.
RECO~ENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the recommendation of
the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Mr. ody stated he agreed completely. He stated that at some point, a
chang 's necessary in order to not create new problems. He stated the
problem ould have to be worked out between City Staff and Mr.
Perkins. r. Moody stated the Commission is not qualified to make a
decision on at particular point.
Mr. Perkins st ad that the line is in, and that adding another line would
not do much g for the City. He stated that an additional line would
increase the cost the developer. He requested that this plat be
postponed from se ing it to Council until something could be worked
out with staff.

Mr. LeBaron stated that the mmission might want to schedule a

Mr. LeBaron stated if the issue is resolv here, it would go straight on
to Council.
Vice-Chairman Barfield stated they would b lad to table it if Mr.
Perkins wanted to bring it back up at the next ommission meeting.
Mr. Perkins stated that if they made a recomme

issue, and as long as the plat did not go to Council earlier an
December 14th.
Mr. Wilson made the motion to approve PS 92-17 subject to e ineering
comments: that the side building line on Lot 32 of Block 2 be ch ged to

Vice-Chairman Barfield stated there are two items that need to be
addressed: the sidewalk along Precinct Line Road, and the water line
that would need to be relocated if Precinct Line Road is widened. He
stated in the first meeting, they determined that the water line was
installed according to the way that Precinct Line Road was designed
several years ago. He stated the water line is now in the wrong location.
Vice-Chairman Barfield stated rather than move the line now, the
developer agreed to either escrow funds or sign a covenant. He stated
City Staff has recommended that the covenant apply to all lots, but the
developer has requested that the covenant only affect the two corner
lots.
Mr. Wilson asked if the sidewalk were built now, would it connect to the
north or the south.
Mr. Perkins stated that the sidewalk would not connect to the one on the
north. and the property to the south is currently undeveloped.
Vice-Chairman Barfield stated that if the sidewalk were put in now. when
Precinct Line Road is widened. the sidewalk would be removed. He
stated it would probably be a waste of money at this time. He stated
they would be better served if funds were escrowed for the sidewalk. He
stated it is his opinion that if the covenant for the water line is tied to all
lots, it would be a nightmare every time title changed hands. He stated if
it applies to the two end lots, it puts the burden on the developer to clear
the covenant when he sell those two lots.
Mr. Wilson asked if the covenant is tied to the two end lots, will it make
those two lots more expensive and difficult to sell.
Mr. Perkins stated that the two end lots probably would not be as
expensive as some of the ones at the back of the subdivision. He stated
the development costs would probably be spread out over aU the lots.
Vice-Chairman Barfield asked Mr. Perkins if he was agreeable to escrow
the funds for the sidewalk, and to sign a covenant for the water line on
the two end lots.
Mr. Perkins stated his preference would be for the covenant to apply to
the two end lots, and that the covenant run for 5-7 years due to the
improvements on Precinct Line Road. Mr. Perkins made some general
comments about how other cities handle sidewalks next to masonry
walls.
Mr. Bowen made the motion to approve PS 92-29 with the following
stipulations: that the water line covenant be against the two end lots and
extend for seven years, and that the developer escrow funds for the
sidewalk. The motion was seconded by Mr. Moody, and the motion
carried 6-0.
Vice-Chairman Barfield stated there is a microphone problem at the
center podium, and that anyone wishing to speak should use the one
over on the right side of the Commission.

MEMO TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Kevin B. Miller, P.E.
Assistant Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: PS 92-29; WOODLAND TERRACE; Block 1, Lots 1-24; Final Plat and
Construction Plans
I have reviewed the subject documents submitted to this office on September 28 and offer
the following comrnents.
1 . The title block should be revised as shown.
2. The appropriate signatures should be added to the Owner's Acknowledgment and
Dedication. In addition the Surveyor's signature needs to be added to the plat.
3. The attached easement dedication needs to be incorporated into the closing
paragraph after the Metes and Bounds description.
4. The water line serving this subdivision needs to be connected to the existing water
line from the west. The easement adjacent to Lot 1 2 needs to be increased to 20
feet. This will allow the water and sewer lines to share the same easement.
5. This addition is not currently defined by block number. The phrase, "BLOCK 1"
needs to be added to the plat.
6. The Zoning Ordinance requires sidewalks adjacent to all public streets. Sidewalks
not adjacent to masonry walls may be constructed with the improvement of each
individual lot. Precinct Line Road is classified as an Arterial thoroughfare. The
current Zoning Ordinance requires a masonry wall along arterial streets. The
masonry wall will be required as a part of the construction documents. The
sidewalk adjacent to the wall must be constructed as the wall is constructed.
7. The masonry wall may create a sight barrier. This needs to be considered as a part
of the construction plans. An appropriate distance from Winslow Court must be
maintained to provide safe egress from the subdivision. This will most likely require
a greater visibility easement than currently provided.

8. Street Lighting is required by section 1-06 of the Design Manual. Additional street
lights required by current ordinances need to be coordinated with Public Works and
TU Electric. A street lighting plan must be submitted and approved by the City. A
copy of the signed agreement with TU Electric must be received by Public Works
prior to the City accepting the construction. The cost for installation of any
additional street lights will be paid by the developer directly to TU Electric.
9. The Public Works Department requested that the 12 inch water line be relocated
during the Preliminary Plat review. The Planning and Zoning Commission previously
elected to allow the Developer to sign a covenant for a portion of the cost to
relocate the 12 inch water line. Public Works is not opposed to the covenant.
Public Works strongly recommends that the covenant encumber illllots in the
subdivision. If the money were to be escrowed, the cost would be equitably
applied by the Developer to all lots. In addition, the Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended that the covenant be limited to 5 years. The City has
not previously limited covenants to a specific period of time. It would appear that if
a Developer is responsible for improvements, that responsibility should not diminish
over time.
10. There are comments regarding the engineering and construction plans which have
been recorded on a set of blueline construction plans. The plans have been
returned to the Engineer for revision. The comments contained herein do not
purport to relinquish the design engineer of his responsibility to provide adequate,
accurate and buildable construction plans. The City's eventual approval of the
construction plans will not signify acceptance of responsibility by the City of North
Richland Hills for the engineering in the bid documents. The marked-up blue lines
should be returned with the next submittal.

TNP File No. PET92129
Dear Barry:
We have received Kevin Miller's review dated October 21, 1992 of
the Final Plat for the above referenced subdivision. Generally, we
will comply with the comments in the letter. The plat has been
revised to reflect the needed changes and 18 copies accompany this
letter to you. The construction plans are in the process of being
revised and will be forwarded when they are complete.
Our specific response to the comments are as follows:
1. The title block has been revised as requested.
2. The signatures will be added to the plat as required.
3. The easement language has been incorporated into the
dedication.
4. The plans will be revised to show connection of the water line
to the existing line to the west.
5. "Block 1" has been added to the plat.
6. A masonry wall will be added to the construction plans. We
note, however, that Precinct Line Road will be reconstructed
relatively soon, and since our sidewalk will not connect to
sidewalks either to the north or the south, it is requested that
the requirement to construct the sidewalk along Precinct Line Road
be waived.
~
7. A 20 foot by 60 foot sight easement has been added to the
plans to allow for construction of the masonry wall in such a way
as to provide for greater visibility along Precinct Line Road.

SUBJECT: PS 92-30; RICHLAND OAKS ADDITION;
Lots 1 R & 2R, Block A; Replat
I have reviewed the subject documents submitted to this ottice on October 5, 1992, and'
offer the tollowing comments.
1 · The' plat needs to be revised as a replat rather than an amended plat. This means
that the dedication, calls and phantom lines need to be revised.
2. The title block should be revised as shown.
3. The appropriate signatures should be added to the owner's acknowledgment and
dedication. In addition the surveyor's seal and signature should be added to the
plat.
4. The 25 foot front building setback lines need to be added to the plat.
5. All utility easements required along the State highway right-at-way need to be .
dedicated by separate instrument with the filing information shown on the plat.
6. The Texas Department of Transportation (TDOT) has presented the City with an
exhibit which indicates the need for a right-of-way dedication along the southern
portion of Lots 1 Rand 2R. The City does not normally require the dedication of
right-of-way for TDOT unless we have been presented with the necessary
documents prior to a plat submittal. The TDOT is currently obtaining right-at-way
tor the upcoming interchange project. Since the process ot right-of-way acquisition
has begun and the City has received the required parcel map, it appears that the
City should now require the necessary dedication.

7. The Zoning Ordinance requires sidewalks adjacent to all public streets. Sidewalks
not adjacent to masonry walls may be constructed with the improvement of each
individual lot.
8. Due to the minimum driveway and street entrance spacing allowed on arterial
streets, only one driveway approach will be allowed along State Highway 1 21. The
driveway must be located within the 37 foot access easement. This approach
(existing) will require a TDOT permit if revised in the future.
9. There are easements on this plat which are inadequately defined as to the beginning
and ending points. There are other drafting revisions which have been noted on the
drawing. These changes need to be made and the corrected plat submitted to
Public Works for further review. The marked-up blue lines need to be returned with
the next submittal.

(ii) the Bonds has the meaning stated in
Treas. Reg. S 1.148-3.
(b) Not to Cause Interest to Become Taxable. The City shall
not use, permit the use of, or omit to use Gross Proceeds or any
other amounts (or any property the acquisition, construction, or

Gross Proceeds) in a manner which, if made or omitted,
respectively, would cause the interest on any Bond to become
includable in the gross income, as defined in section 61 of the
Code, of the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes.
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until
the City shall have received a written opinion of counsel
nationally recognized in the field of municipal bond law to the
effect that failure to comply with such covenant will not adversely
affect the exclusion of interest on any Bond from gross income for
federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 103 of the Code,
the City shall comply with each of the specific covenants in this
paragraph.
(c) No Private Use or Private PaYments. The Bonds are being
issued to finance the Project and, except as permitted by section
141 of the Code and the regulations and rulings thereunder, the
Project shall at all times prior to the last maturity of the Bonds:
(i) be exclusively owned, operated and maintained
by the City, and the City shall not use or permit the use
of such Gross Proceeds or any property acquired,
constructed, or improved with such Gross Proceeds in any
activity carried on by any person or entity other than a
state or local government, unless such use is solely as
a member of the general public, and
(ii) the City shall not directly or indirectly
impose or accept any charge or other payment for use of
Gross Proceeds of the Bonds or for any property acquired,

such Gross Proceeds pending application for their
intended purposes.
(d) No Private Loan. Except to the extent permitted by
section 141 of the Code and the regulations and rulings thereunder,
the City shall not use Gross Proceeds of the Bonds to make or
finance loans to any person or entity other than a state or local
government. For purposes of the foregoing covenant, such Gross
Proceeds are considered to be "loaned" to a person or entity if (i)
property acquired, constructed, or improved with such Gross
Proceeds is sold or leased to such person or entity in a
transaction which creates a debt for federal income tax purposes,
(ii) capacity in or service from such property is committed to such
person or entity under a take-or-pay, output, or similar contract

or arrangement, or (iii) indirect benefits, or burdens and benefits
of ownership, of such Gross Proceeds or any property acquired,
constructed, or improved with such Gross Proceeds are otherwise
transferred in a transaction which is the economic equivalent of a
loan.
(e) Not to Invest at Higher Yield. Except to the extent
permi tted by section 148 of the Code and the regulations and
rulings thereunder, the City shall not, at any time prior to the
final stated Maturity of the Bonds, directly or indirectly invest
Gross Proceeds of the Bonds in any Investme~t (or use such Gross
Proceeds to replace money so invested), if as a result of such
investment the Yield of all Investments allocated to such Gross
Proceeds whether then held or previously disposed of, exceeds the
Yield of the Bonds.
(f) Not Federallv Guaranteed. Except to the extent permitted
by section 149 (b) of the Code and the regulations and rulings
thereunder, the City shall not take or omit to take any action
which would cause the Bonds to be federally guaranteed within the
meaning of section 149 (b) of the Code and the regulations and
rulings thereunder.
(g) Payment of Rebatable Arbitraae. Except to the extent
otherwise provided in section 148(f) of the Code and the
regulations and rulings thereunder,
(i) The City shall account for all Gross Proceeds
of the Bonds (including all receipts, expenditures, and
investments thereof) on their respective books of account
separately and apart from all other funds (and receipts,
expenditures, and investments thereof) and shall maintain
all records of such accounting with other public records
relating to the Project until six years after the final
Computation Date. The City may, however, to the extent
permitted by section 148(f) of the Code and the
regulations thereunder, commingle Gross Proceeds of the
Bonds with other money of the City, provided that the
ci ty separately accounts for each receipt and expenditure
of such Gross Proceeds and the obliqations acquired
therewith.
(11) Not less frequently than each Computation Date,
the City shall either (aa) cause to be calculated by a
nationally recognized accounting or financial advisory
firm or (bb) calculate and cause its calculations to be
verified by a nationally recognized accounting or
financial advisory firm, in either case in accordance
with rules set forth in section 148(f) of the Code and
Treas. Reg. S 1. 148-2 and rulings thereunder, the

of the Bonds until six years after the final Computation
Date.
(iii) As additional consideration for the
issuance of the Bonds by the initial purchasers thereof
and the loan represented thereby, and in order to induce
such purchase by measures designed to result in the
excludability of the interest thereon from the gross
income of the owners thereof for federal income tax
purposes, the City shall remit to the Corporation for
payment to the United states the amount described in
paragraph (g) (ii) above and the amount described in
paragraph (g) (iv) below, at the times, in the
installments, to the place, in the manner, and
accompanied by such forms or other information as is or
may be required by section 148 (f) of the Code and
Treas. Reg. SS 1.148-1 through 1.148-9 and rulings
thereunder.
(iv) The City shall exercise reasonable diligence to
assure that no errors are made in the calculations
required by paragraph (g) (ii) and, if such error is made,
to discover and promptly to correct such error within a
reasonable amount of time thereafter, including the
amount remitted to the Corporation for payment to the
united states of any Correction Amount as described in
Treas. Reg. S 1.148-1(c) (2) and any penalty under Treas.
Reg. S 1. 148 -1 ( c) (3) (i i) (B) .
(v) The City shall not, at any time prior to the
earlier of the Stated Maturity or final payment of the
Bonds, enter into any transaction that reduces the amount
required to be paid to the united states pursuant to this
subparagraph (9) because such transaction results in a
smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted
if the transaction had been at arm's length and had the
Yield of the Bonds not been relevant to either party.
5. Modifications. This Agreement shall not be changed
orally, and no executory agreement shall be effective to waive,
change, modify or discharge this Agreement in whole or in part
unless such executory agreement is in writing and is signed by the
parties against whom enforcement of any waiver, change,

Approval Of Bid For Richfield Park Parking Lot
The attached transmittal letter from Knowlton-English-Flowers,
Inc. summarizes the Bids received on November 19, 1992 for the
Richfield Park parking lot.
The low asphalt paving bidder was J. L. Bertrom Construction
in the amount of $283,669.33. The low concrete paving bidder
was Austin Bridge and Road Company, Inc. in the amount of
$339,442.10.
staff concurs with the attached Knowlton-English-Flowers
recommendation that the contract be awarded to the low concrete
paving bidder, Austin Bridge and Road Company, Inc., in light of
the superior performance, longevity and low maintenance costs
of concrete pavement.
Funds are available from the Parks and Recreation Sales Tax
"Pay As You Go" projects budget. The original budget estimate
for the Richfield Park parking lot project was $200,000. This
figure was estimated without the benefit of a professional
engineering analysis due to the short time frame between the
sales tax election and the annual budget retreat. That budget
estimate was also based on a lessor number of parking spaces and
did not include median removal and sidewalk improvements. The
total funding available this year for "Pay As You Go" projects is
$1,107,043. Due to the importance and high priority of this
project it is recommended that the budget be increased from
$200,000 to $350,000 for this item. A revised "Pay As You Go"
budget for 1992-93 will be presented for council review in the
very near future to reflect this change and other staff
recommendations. All bids were based on an established
completion date of March 15, 1993.

Richfield Parl(ing Lot Bid Tabulations and Recommendation of Contract A ward
Both contractors have completed other public works projects in the City of North Richland
Hills and we have no objections to either company. We understand that both bids are within
the budgeted amount available for this project. Because of the good prices associated with
the concrete paving proposal, we would reconlmend contract award to the low concrete
alternate bidder, Austin Bridge & Road Company. The superior performance, life
expectancy, and low maintenance costs of the concrete pavement make this alternate the
better choice.
The total amount bid includes additive alternates for curb and guttered islands, pavement
markings, and extra width sidewalks. The following is a breakdown summary of the
basebids and additive alternates for the two low bidders:
:-:-.AUSTINBRIDGE. J.L. BERTRAM
·····.(CONCRETE) (ASPHAL T)
Pavement Basebid $322,936.80 $265,231.44
Islands 293.20 351.47
Pavement Markings 7,327.00 7,374.02
Extra Width Sidewalk 8,885.10 10,712.40
TOTAL AMOUNT BID $339,442.10 $283,669.33
An additional alternate was included in the proposal for "Electro-Chemical" Soil Stabilization
in lieu of the traditional lime stabilization process. The bids were generally higher with the
Electro-Chemical stabilization process than the lime subgrade stabilization, therefore, we are
not recommending use of the Electro-Chemical process in this project.
Based on the bids received, if asphalt paving is desired, then we would recommend contract
award to J.L. Bertram, Inc., in the amount of $283,669.33, or if concret.e paving is desired,
then we would recommend award to Austin Bridge 311d Road Company, Inc. in the amount
of $339,442.10. All bids were based on an established completion date of l\farch 15, 1993.
We will be available at the November 23, 1992, Council meeting to answer any questions
you l11ay have concerning this project.

Attn.: Mr. Dennis Horvath, Assistant City Mgr.
Re.: Cremation System for Animal Care and Control
Bid # 92-275
Dear Mr. Horvath:
In reference to the bid in question I am writing you pursuant recent telephone conversations I have
had with Pam Burney and Donnas Enos. In follow-up to our bid and upon being informed of the
various offerings I learned that our bid was the "high bid" on the project. While it was easy to
discount the lowest bid at $6800.00 as obviously not complying with the specifications, I was
somewhat alarmed at the difference in pricing between our offering and that of Industrial
Equipment and Engineering, particularly in light of the fact that they had no listed deviations or
exceptions.
Upon further inquiry regarding the Industrial bid it was discovered that, although they listed no
"EXCEPTIONS" as required in Section III, there were indeed deviations from the specifications,
specifically with regards to dimensions. Although I have not been afforded the opportunity to
review the bid packages for other possible discrepancies, I questioned specifically the dimensions
of the Industrial offering as I was aware that the limitations of the specification required special
consideration on our part in order to comply. The deviation in question is, according to the
submitted specification data, the Industrial unit did not meet the requirements of Section III, 3:
"The casing shall not exceed 59" wide, 144" long and 96" high."
The dimensional requirements of paragraph 3. of the specification in conjunction with the
minimum chamber dimensions set forth in paragraph 9., resulted in additional design and
construction costs in order to comply and were reflected in our pricing. I realize now, from my
conversation yesterday with Donna Enos, that the size difference may not be a significant factor
relative to the unit fitting into the area. However, this fact was not made evident in the bid
documents. Section III Paragraph 3, states explicitly "The casing shall not exceed 59"
wide, 144" long and 96" high.", and because the requirements are possible to meet, we saw
no reason to take exception to the spec. I would ask that consideration be given of the fact that our
bid was influenced by the requirements of the specifications and our efforts to meet those
requirements withQut exception, since the nature of the requirement suggested that space was a
critical factor relative to the equipment fitting into the facility. If it is detennined that the premium
for meeting the specifications is not justifiable, then I would request that, in all fairness, it so be
stated and "BFO's" (best & final offers)be requested and accepted on your part relative to these
conditions.

Re: 3-341, CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
BURSEY ROAD PAVING AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
TABULA TION OF BIDS
Bids were received on November 13, 1992, for the referenced project, and proposals were
submitted from six (6) general contractors. A detailed tabulation is attached for your
information. The following is a summary of the bids:
!NO.! BIDDER I ASPHALT I DAYS I CONCRETE. I DAYS I
1 . APAC-TEXAS, Inc. $1,617,228.64 310 $1,937,941.72 310
2. J. L. Bertram Const. 1,637,317.87 360 1,678, 176.24 360
3. Austin Bridge & Road 1,691,854.87 380 1,828,826.15 340
4. Sunmount Corporation 1,823,811.85 280 NO BID N/A
5. Brown & Root, Inc. 1,856,689.31 270 1,985,537.79 300
6. Architectural Util. 2,039,601.15 300 2,239,311.90 285
The low bidder for the Asphalt Street Alternate is APAC-TEXAS in the total amount of
$1,617,228.64, and the low bidder for the Concrete Street Alternate is J.L. Bertram
Constnlction Co. in the amount of $1,678,176.24.
Both contractors have completed other public works projects in the City of North Richland
Hills and we have no objections to either company. Both bids are very close to the budgeted
amount for this project. Because of the extremely competitive bid of the concrete street
alternate, we would recommend contract award to the low concrete alternate bidder, J.L.
Bertram. The superior performance, life expectancy, and low maintenance costs of the
concrete pavement make this alternate the better choice.
The total amount bid includes storm drainage, water and sanitary sewer improvements in
addition to the pavement work. The following is a breakdown summary of these items for
the two low bidders:
1901 CENTRAL DR., SUITE 550. BEDFORD, TEXAS 76021 .817/283-6211 . METRO 817/267-3367. FAX 817/354-4389

TOTAL CONCRETE ALT. 2 1,937,941.72 1,678,176.24
The Cities of Watauga and Keller have agreed to participate in the cost of the Rufe Snow
intersection and the off-site Rufe Snow Storm drain since these improvements benefit these
cities as well as North Richland Hills. The estimated cost to reconstruct the intersection with
asphalt based on APAC's bid would be $28,374.80, and J.L. Bertram's concrete intersection
cost would be $37,540.32. As tabulated above, the off-site storm drainage cost would be
$199,371.50, based on APAC's bid, and $190,236.38, if J.L. Bertram is awarded the
contract. The cost of the intersection improvements would be split based on 1/2 to Keller
and 1/4 each to North Richland Hills and Watauga. The storm drain costs would be split
equally three ways. The following is a summary of the cost split based on contract quantities
and unit prices bid:
