The Heavy Equipment Building is a 1972 bond project designed to provide additional space to the garage operation for the maintenance of heavy equipment. The Park Building will provide space for the park maintenance crews and areas for small equipment repair and would allow the relocation of the present facility adjacent to South Bluff Park for the expansion of the Tennis Center. The Wastewater Building will house the wastewater maintenance personnel presently working in overcrowded conditions at the Broadway Plant and would allow the area at the plant to be used by Plant personnel and laboratory space. Mr. James K. Lontos, P.E., Assistant City Manager, opened bids on this project from the following firms: Beck & Son, Inc., Braselton Construction Company, CJB Construction Company, J. H. Chapman Construction Company, Dominy Enterprises, Ewing Construction Company, Lambert & Fondren, Inc., Salazar Construction Company, David Van Fleet Construction Company, Casey & Glass, Inc., South Texas Construction Company and J. M. Davidson Company. Mr. Lontos explained to the Council that the bids will be tabulated and the alternates will be considered when the bid is awarded. Mayor Jones expressed appreciation to the bidders and stated that the bids would be tabled for 48 hours, pursuant to the requirements of the City Charter, and referred to the staff for tabulation and recommendation. City Manager Ed Martin reminded the Council that the base bid is the primary consideration when awarding contracts. *0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0* Mayor Jones referred to the discussion that the Council had conducted on the water master plan and recalled that one of the Council Members had a question on the plan. Council Member Bob Gulley indicated that he would discuss the question he had with Mr. Lontos at a later time. utes ..gular Council Meeting January 19, 1983 Page 3 A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Turner that the Council confirm that the plan has been received, noted and forwarded to the Planning Commission for their consideration; seconded by Council Member Cliff Zarsky; and passed unanimously. *0*0*O*0*0*O*0*0*0*0* Mayor Jones referred to the consent agenda and called for consideration of the motions on the following items: 1. Bids be received February 8, 1983 for a modular quad -trace oscilloscope, 30 loop vehicle detector amplifiers and 25 electro -mechanical time switches for Traffic Engineering. The oscilloscope is needed for trouble -shooting electronic problems in traffic signal controllers and equipment. The amplifiers and time switches are regular maintenance items used in the repair of traffic signal equipment. All the items are included in the 1982-83 Budget. 2. Bids be received February 15, 1983 for six replacement 60 PTO hp Utility Tractors for the Street Division (3), Park Maintenance (2) and the Airport (1) to be used in power mowing and pulling compaction equipment. The tractors are included in the 1982-83 Budget. 3. Bids be received February 15, 1983 for fifteen replacement and three additional heavy duty trucks including five 1 -Ton (10,000 GVWR), twelve 2 -Ton (20,000 GVWR) and one 21 -Ton (23,000) GVWR for various City activities. All units are included in the 1982-83 Budget. The specifications provide for alternate bids for gasoline and diesel engines. 4. Bids be received February 15, 1983 for approximately 87 chinese tallow, 87 cottonwood, 20 live oak trees and 50 palms for use by the Park Division for landscape and replacement planting in various parks and for use at the Oso Golf Course. Mayor Jones commented that the City has its own nursery and asked the staff to provide a one page report on the use of the plants and trees that are grown at that location. Council Member Gulley expressed the opinion that the City should plant more Live Oak trees than Chinese Tallow trees because he feels that the Live Oaks are more permanent even though they are slower growing. Council Member Zarsky noted that the Cottonwood trees have a lot of leaf problems and debris associated with them. 5. Bids be received February 15, 1983 for a six months supply agreement for approximately 9,000' of 10" and 16" steel line pipe coated and wrapped. This pipe is used for natural gas transmission by the Gas Division. 6. Twelve months supply agreement for an estimated 1,095 pairs of safety toe boots and shoes be approved based on the best bid meeting specifications to International Shoe Corp., Hy -Test Division, Houston, Texas for $48,265.85. These are maintained in the City Warehouse and sold to employees through payroll deduction, as well as to the County as part of our cooperative purchasing effort. Six bid invitations were issued and three bids were received. Prices have increased approximately 6% since the previous contract of November, 1981. The apparent low bid from Lehigh of $46,890.25 did not meet specifications on "Cowboy Style" boots only. Their boot is not an equal to the Hy -Test boot as requested, in that the material and workmanship in the cut -away submitted by Lehigh does not equal the material and workmanship in the Hy -Test boot cut -away. .utes _gular Council Meeting January 19, 1983 Page 4 Mayor Jones inquired if employees have the option of purchasing safety toe boots and shoes from some other source. City Manager Martin explained that the City does not even require them to be worn now and, of course, they could purchase them at another location, but they're purchased and carried in the Warehouse just to allow employees to purchase through the payroll deduction plan. Mayor Pro Tem Turner questioned the necessity for the City to purchase boots to be sold to the employees, expressing the opinion that the business should be given to a local firm so that a large surplus would not have to be carried in the Warehouse. City Manager Martin informed Mrs. Turner that the City does not carry that many pairs in the Warehouse; they are purchased in small lots; and the staff likes to have them available to encourage employees to purchase them. He stated that he did not think that they could be purchased locally with time payments. Mr. Martin continued by stating that the staff is studying the possibility of having a mobile unit to sell shoes to go to the various job sites for the purpose of selling shoes, also through the payroll deduction plan. Council Member Dumphy concurred with the recommendation for the purchase of the shoes in order to encourage employees to wear them for safety. He expressed the opinion that th City should continue to supply them through the payroll deduction plan. 7. Twelve months supply agreement for 61 items of janitorial supply items including paper supplies, cleaners, disinfectants, hand soap, cans and buckets, garbage can liners, brooms and mops to be used by all Divisions be approved based on low and best bids meeting specifications: Gulf Coast Paper Corpus Christi Lot I Paper Supplies Lot VI Plastic garbage cans, covers, mop buckets & wringers Lot VII Plastic can liners Sub Total Century Paper Corpus Christi Lot II Cleaners, Deodorants & Detergents Lot V Metal Garbage Cans & lids, dust pans Lot VIII Brooms, Mops & handles Lot IX Miscellaneous supplies, sponges, squeeges, sprayer bottles, etc. Sub Total King Custom Chemicals Kingsville, Texas Lot III Pine Scent disinfectant & liquid soap Sub Total 45,983.28 2,179.50 4,372.00 52,534.78 14,632.75 3,180.38 8,500.68 660.76 26,974.57 4,200.00 4,200.00 utes _..:gular Council Meeting January 19, 1983 Page 5 Bandcroft Paper Corpus Christi Lot IV Oil Dry Sweep Compound 821.20 Sub Total 821.20 GRAND TOTAL $84,530.55 Eighteen bid invitations were issued and 16 bids were received. Prices have increased approximately 12% on paper supplies, 4% on cleaners, deodorants, detergents, disinfectants, liquid hand soap and oil dry sweep compound; 17% on brooms, brushes, mops and handles and 9% on sponges, squeeges and bottles and sprayers. Price comparison on galvanized garbage cans show no change. Prices have decreased 8% on plastic cans and covers and 40% on plastic can liners. The apparent low bids of $14,434.16 on Lot II by C. C. Janitor and $519.30 by Gulf Coast Paper on Lot IV are not recommended because the products bid have proven unsatisfactorily in the past. Mayor Pro Tem Turner stated that this is apparently a large amount of money and inquired if there is any way the City can reduce this figure for these supplies. City Manager Martin explained that this is a supply agreement and it is much less expensive to purchase in large lots such as this for the entire City. Mayor Pro Tem Turner urged that expenses be reduced if possible on all types of materials used by the City, including stationery, envelopes, etc. 8. Twelve months supply agreement for 504 bronze service saddles to be used by the Water Division be approved based on low total bid to Coastal Pipe & Supply, Brownsville, Texas for $9,572.41. Ten bid invitations were issued and seven bids were received. Prices have increased approximately 11% since the previous contract of May, 1981. 9. 120' of corrugated pipe with couplings be purchased from Texas Corrugators, Inc., San Antonio, Texas based on low bid for $5,340.00.

A contract for the purchase and installation of a spray paint booth for Traffic Engineering with Nueces Equipment and Supply, Corpus Christi, for the total amount of $10,807.20 be approved, based on low bid. Five bid invitations were issued and three bids were received. The booth is included in the 1982-83 Budget and will allow all weather spraying of traffic and street name signs since it removes harmful vapors. Currently, spraying must be done outside due to the vapors. 11. Contracts for preparation and painting of the Sidbury and Lichenstein historical houses be approved with Frank Crawford Painting Company, Corpus Christi, based on low bid of $7,375.00. Fourteen bid invitations were issued and five bids were received. The painting is included in the 1982-83 Budget. Council Member Zarsky inquired about the condition of the surface of these houses and Council Member Dumphy stated that they are in very bad condition in that the paint is peeling. Assistant City Manager Tom Utter further explained that these houses have not been repainted since 1978. .utes _.,:gular Council Meeting January 19, 1983 Page 6 Mayor Pro Tem Turner inquired about the source of the funds required for this painting, and City Manager Martin replied that the money will come from the General Fund. Mayor Pro Tem Turner suggested that the Tourist Bureau Fund be considered for this expense and Mr. Martin agreed that legally the funds could be obtained from that fund. 12. A public hearing be held February 9, 1983, relative to the closure of Lewis Street from Tompkins Street to Shely Street and from Kosar Street to Price Street, the closure of approximately 80% of Tompkins Street from Ayers Street to Naples Street, and the closure of Price Street from Naples Street to Lewis Street. Price and Lewis (North of Kosar) Streets currently are dedicated streets on the Del Mar campus, and the Tompkins and Lewis (South of Kosar) street closures are requested by the college as part of their expansion program.
