INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
Date: March 27, 1989
Subject: Southwestern Bell IITexas Firstll
No. IR 89-19
For several years this City has been involved in a consortium of cities
in connection with the league of Municipalities Utility Regulation. The
program (Texas First) presented by Southwestern Bell is not perceived by
our Utility Regulation Attorneys as being in the best interest of the
ratepayers in these cities. I am attaching hereto the most recent
correspondence I have received from Don Butler's office. Mr. Butlerls
firm represents all of the TML member cities who are involved in the rate
case before the Public Utility Commission.
Respectfully submitted,
Rex McEntire
Attorney

POINTS REGARDING "TEXAS FIRST"
1. "Texas First It is an effort on the part of Southwestern Bell
to avoid a rate decrease. The Company was unsuccessful in
its legal efforts to thwart the Public Utili ty Commission
inquiry into the reasonableness of Southwestern Bell's rates.
Apparently, the Company believes that a massive lobbying and
PR effort will accomplish that which its legal arguments
could not.
2. The PUC Staff estimates that Southwestern Bell is presently
overcollecting at least $90 million per annum. Most other
observers think--that a thorough scrutiny of Southwestern
Bell's rates will indicate a much larger overcollection.
3. At best, Southwestern Bell's proposal must be considered
simply its offer to settle a contested case. Like any other
settlement offer, it should not 'be accepted without a
complete evaluation to ensure that the result will be fair
and reasonable. Thus far, no informa tion has been provided
which would permit a proper evaluation, making it premature
to accept Southwestern Bell's settlement offer.
4. Southwestern Bell's rates were last set assuming that the
Company would pay income taxes at the rate of 46% rather than
at the currently authorized 34%. Additionally, capital costs
have decreased significantly since the last case. While most
other jurisdictions have responded to the tax rate decrease,
Texas ratepayers have yet to benefit.
5. While the PUC is tardy in its response to the income tax rate
change, it should be supported now tha tit has ini tia ted
such inquiry. We are in no position to complain about high
rates set by the PUC if we are a party to undermining or
failing to support their efforts to reduce rates.
6. "Texas First" offers a ra te reduction only to Sou thwestern
Bell's customers on two-party lines and long distance com-
panies such as AT&T, MCr and Sprint. There is no requirement
that such reduction to long distance companies will be passed
on to ultimate ratepayers. By contrast, the pue is expected'
to take favorable action on a 12.7% ·decrease to business and
residential local exchange telèphone customers of General
Telephone. Obviously, Southwestern Bell wishes to avoid the
same result.
7. Certain aspects of the "Texas First" plan have merit.
However, those aspects reflect what Southwestern Bell should
be doing to meet its obliga tion to provide service as a
- 1 -
I
Ie
I
I
I
I
I
I
I

I
I

I

I
public utility. Doing what is supposed to be done anyway
should not be used by Southwestern Bell as a means of
avoiding having its rates set according to proper principles
of public utility ratemaking.
8. As a part of the inquiry ini tiated by the Public utili ty
Commission, those beneficL~l aspects of "Texas First," can be
urged but without prejudice to setting proper rates. This
would ensure a rate reduction if one is warranted and that
local economies would see the intended benefit of the reduc-
tion in the federal income tax rate from 46% to 34%.
9. The addi tional capi tal investments proposed by Sou thwestern
Bell in its "Texas First" plan are not gifts to the public.
Southwestern Bell has the obligation as a public utili ty
enjoying a monopoly position to make prudent investments
necessary to provide first class telephone service to this
state. Further, its rates include a reasonable return on
such investments.·· Most other businesses in today' s economy
would be delighted to make such investments if they had the
same assurance of a return as Southwestern Bell.
, ,
10. Southwestern Bell cites the reasonableness of its local
exchange rates in Texas as an argument in support of "Texas
First" and against any further reduction. Such rates do not
include federal subscriber line charges, the hoped for state
access charges which the Company is seeking to obtain through
another proceeding at the PUC, touchtone or other services
which most customers utilize. Further, if such local
exchange rates are reasonable, it is not so much the doing of
Southwestern Bell as it is the efforts of other parties at
the Public utility Commission because Southwestern Bell
fought mightily against the local exchange rates now in
effect.
11. "Texas First" contemplates near non-regulation of
Southwestern Bell's rates in Texas. By law, regulation of a
monopoly's prices is intended to act as a substitute for the
competi tion which exi sts in free enterprise endeavors. The
Company would be able to enjoy a 16%, after tax, return on
its equity investment. Any earnings over such amount would
be spli t wi th the customers. Thus, if the Company were to
make 24% on its equity investment, 4% would be returned to
customers leaving Southwestern Bell with a 20% return which
is far in excess of a reasonable level for any public utility
or similarly situated business. .
12. Future rate setting for Southwestern Bell would be a win-win
situation for the Company, but not its ratepayers. Whil~, as
pointed out above, the Company would split any excess
earnings with customers, it would not share the losses
equally. The Company's proposal provides that if earnings
fall below the stipulated range, it would have the right to
- 2 -
I
Ie
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
Ie
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
Ie
I
file a rate case to recover the full amount of such
deficiency from its customers.
13. Contrary to the Company's contentions, the regulatory process
does not preclude it from recovering earnings on new invest-
ments. Indeed, the regulatory process provides public
utili ties wi th an assurance which businesses in the
competitive arena do not enjoy. By law, the Company's rates
include a reasonable return on any prudent investment which
it makes.
14. In its PR material, Southwestern Bell cites its fear that
California will make greater telecommunications advances than
Texas. Yet, California regulation has ordered over $900
million in rate reductions for Pacific Bell since 1984. See
attached Wall street Journal Article.
15. "Texas First" opens the door for piecemeal ratemaking. The
Company would be allowed to seek rate increases for rates
other than "basic local exchange ra tes" of up to 2!% of its
gross revenues outside the context. of a major rate case.
Ordinary ratepayers cannot effectively participate in a
multitude of fragmented rate proceedings. Does this prove ~
better opportuni ty to impose some form of local measured
service on an "optional" basis?

GOLF COURSE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT ONLY
Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated this item was the recommendation of the Ad Hoc
Committee. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated construction of a golf course was
different from the construction of a building in that the contract

1, 2 and 3 of the recommended construction procedures for the golf course.

apply to.
Mr. Tucker stated the average contract amount was $600,000.
Councilwoman Spurlock stated that she would like to receive a monthly
report from the Ad Hoc Committee.
Councilman Metts stated that 25% of a contract could amount to a large
amount.
Mr. Sanford advised that number 3 of the procedure would control the
amount.
Councilman Metts stated he would also like to receive a monthly report.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis amended his motion to include approval of number 2,
with the addition of "25% of each individual contract ". Councilman Metts
seconded the motion.
Councilman Welch asked the amount of money this would total.
Mr. Tucker stated that by State Law you could not exceed 25% without
readvertising and rebidding.

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
~ Council Meeting Date: 3-27-89
Agenda Number: GN 89-16
During Fiscal Year 1987-88, with the opening of the renovated
Police Department, the City began housing detainees from the
Immigration and Nationalization Service (I.N.S.). The 1988-89
Operating Budget was predicated on housing these prisoners for an
estimated 3,428 man days.
Upon the closing of the Tarrant County jail, the City began
housing prisoners for the City of Fort Worth Police Department in
addition to that which was budgeted for I.N.S.. The total man
days as of February 28, 1989 amounted to 6,122.
The increased volume of prisoners held in our jail requires
additional services by several departments (i.e. Police,
Municipal Court and Building Maintenance). Since the increased
volume was not anticipated during budget preparation, the current
revenue and expenditure budgets should be adjusted accordingly.
Based on an estimated volume of sixty prisoners per day, the
following adjustments are proposed:
Proposed expenditure adjustment:
Police Department - includes
overtime, 'food and misc.
supplies
Municipal Court - includes
JUdicial cost of arraign-
ments
Building Maintenance - includes
repair and maintenance of
jail area and the upgrading of
appliances to industrial quality

The revenue adjustment is conservative as it proposes revenues
only to the extent of expenditures. If the total man days
required by other agencies meets the estimated sixty per day,
approximately $230,000 in additional revenues would be available.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that the following items be approved by the City
Council:
1. Increase the Police Department budget by $90,000 (account number
01-80-07-1070 and 01-80-07-2900).
2. Increase the Municipal Court budget by $5,000 (account number
01-40-01-1080.
3. Increase the Building Maintenance budget by $33,000 (account
number 06-01-02-3020 and 06-01-02-6400).
4. Increase Detention Fee revenue budget by $128,000 (account number
01-00-00-4375).

Approval of Miscellaneous Paving &
Dralnage .lIIprovements 19~~ - change Order Ì'JO. 5
Agenda Number: PW 89-14
The proposed Change Order No. 5 is for removing and replacing the existing sanitary
sewer services on Mackey Drive fran Victoria Avenue to Ri viera Drive. The existing
sewer service pipe has been found to be made of "orangeberg". This type of pipe is made
from a paper material and deteriorates over time. The question with "orangeberg" pipe
is not will it fail, but rather when will it fail.
The staff's concern is that if we do not replace these 34 services before we reconstruct
Mackey Drive that the property owners will be back tearing out the new pavement in the
near future replacing these services one at a time and patching the street as they go.

MACKEY CREEK, PHASE II, CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS
BID TABULATION
Bids were received on March 16, 1989, for the referenced project. This
project includes concrete channel liner construction on Mackey Creek from
Harmonson to Rufe Snow Drive. Construction of a new box culvert on Rufe Snow
is included. Also included are water and sewer utility improvements to serve
the proposed new fire station on Rufe Snow located on Mackey Creek. A summary
tabulation of the low bidders is presented below. Bids were received from a
total of six (6) contractors.
The base bid and alternate bid amounts for the low bidders is shown below.
The base bid includes construction of the Rufe Snow box culvert in one
section, which requires shutting down Rufe Snow to through traffic in the
vicinity of the culvert. The alternate bid includes the extra cost to the
contractor to construct the Rufe Snow culvert in two sections, thus
maintaining two·way traffic on Rufe Snow across the culvert at all times. The
order shown below is based on the Base Bid plus the alternate.

BUDGETS
All three low bidders are below the budgets available for this project. The
$80,000 paving budget noted above is from the Rufe Snow Paving account
(No. 13-13-87) which is part of the total paving budget for Rufe Snow. The
drainage budget of $747,391 is from accounts 13-22-86 and 13-22-87. The water
and sewer budgets of $15,036.18 and $41,536.18, respectively, are from account
no. 02-09-85.
CIRCLE 'C'
Circle 'c' Construction Company is the low bidder if the additive alternate
for constructing the Rufe Snow box culvert in two sections is selected.
Circle 'c' has recently completed a water line project for North Richland
Hills. That project was finished on time and about $34,000 under the budget.
Ye understand that Circle 'C' may subcontract out the concrete work on this
project to another contractor. Ye have no information on the experience or
qualifications of this subcontractor.
VALT YILLIAMS
If Rufe Snow is permitted to be shut down in the vicinity of the box culvert
during construction, then Yalt Yilliams is the low bidder. The difference in
Circle 'C's base bid plus' alternate ($425,319.60) and Yalt Yilliams base bid
($408,028.04) is $17,291.56. This is the savings if Rufe Snow can be shut
down for 2 or 3 months during construction of the box culvert. During
construction of the box culvert, traffic would be routed around Rufe Snow to
Glenview, Flory Street, and Harmonson Road. Valt Villiams Company specializes
.in concrete work and has completed many similar projects in the area. This
contractor bid 180 calendar days compared to Circle 'C's 270 days, and M & D's
240 days. Liquidated damages is $250 per day, therefore, the difference in
the time of 90 days translates into $22,500.
M & D CONSTRUCTION COMPANY
The second low bidder, based on the additive alternate, is M & D Construction
Company, and if for some reason the low bidder, Circle'C', is not acceptable,
and the 240 days bid is not a factor, then M & D would be the low bidder if
Rufe Snow is to remain open to traffic and the box culvert constructed in two
sections. Ve would note that M & D is doing the culvert work on Vatauga Road
for Austin Paving Company. The Vatauga Road culverts are being constucted in
two sections to keep traffic on that thoroughfare open at all times. M & D
also has constructed several other culverts and channels in North Richland
Hills and the Dallas-Fort Yorth area.

SUMMARY
Ve would defer recommendation of award to the Public Yorks Department at this
time until additional information can be gathered regarding the low bidder's
qualifications for performing this work. Circle 'c' has performed very well
on water and sewer utility projects in the past, but we have no knowledge of
their concrete construction capabilities. Both Valt Villiams and M & D
Companies specialize in concrete construction and we would not hesitate to
recommend either of these contractors.
Ve will be present at the March 27, 1989, Council meeting to answer any
questions you may have concerning this project.

Re:
3-235, CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
MISC. TRAFFIC SIGNALIZATION INSTALLATIONS
CONTRACTOR'S FINAL PAY ESTIMATE NO. 10
Enclosed is one copy of Contractor's Final Pay Estimate No. 10, dated
March 13, 1989, made payable to Sharrock Electric, Inc., in the amount of
$35,236.88, for materials furnished and work performed on the referenced
project as of January 31, 1989.
This project includes traffic signalization installations at:
Holiday Lane and Lola Drive
Rufe Snow and Starnes Road
Smithfield Road and Starnes
Smithfield Road and Chapman
RufeSnow and Meadowlakes Drive
Also included were school flashers at various locations throughout the
City. Change Order No. 1 included additional school crossing flashers.
The quantities and conditions of the project have been verified on-site by
your representative, Mr. S.L. Zuckman, as indicated by his signature on
the estimate, and we have checked the item extensions and additions.
Final Contractor earnings total $312,917.00, which is $1,646.20 over the
contract amount of $311,270.80. See the attached "Construction Project
Status Report" which accounts for the differences in,as-built and
estimated contract quantities and amounts. The scheduled completion date
was August 27, 1988, however, completion of the project was delayed due to
the requirement that Starnes Road be completed before installation of the
signalization at Starnes and Smithfield Road. Also, additional school
flashers were added by Change Order to the project which extended the
final completion date.
The two year maintenance bond begins on this date, and therefore, will
expire on March 20, 1991, in accordance with the provisions of Item
3.2.11(b) of the Specifications.
Ve recommend that this final payment, in amount of $35,236.88, be made to
Sharrock Electric, Inc., 714 V.· Davis Street, Dallas, Texas 75208.
