*************
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 4, purchase of rotary mowers.
Council Member Chesney said he was concerned that this proposal violates the Council
policy regarding the use of local businesses. He noted that the proposal was to award the bid to a
company from New Braunfels while four Corpus Christi companies had also submitted bids. City
Manager Garcia replied that there are state law provisions which specifically preclude the city from
eliminating non -local companies from submitting bids. In addition, there are regulations which
require the city to use the lowest bidder. City Attorney Bray said there was not a great deal of
flexibility on this type of contract. Mr. Chesney requested the state regulations on that issue.
Mr. Mike Barrera, Procurement & General Services Manager, said the Council policy
specifically refers to requests for proposals, which is a different process than bid invitations, which
are regulated by state statute. He said the majority of the purchases that his department makes are
under a bid structure, which require advertisements. Mayor Neal agreed that the Council needs to
be provided with that information. Council Member Kelly said he wants to know when the state law
supersedes the Council's policy. Council Member Scott said the Council has been very supportive
of local businesses in recent years. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes:
4. M2001-177
Motion approving the purchase of three 72 -inch self propelled rotary mowers from Jones
Equipment & Turf, Inc., New Braunfels, Texas in accordance with Bid Invitation No. BI -
0121 -01, based on low bid, for a total of $29,481. The mowers will be used by the
Wastewater Department. All items are replacements. Funds are available through the FY00-
01 Capital Outlay Fund.

The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero, Garrett,
Kelly, Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye."
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 5, advanced funding agreement. Responding to
Council Member Colmenero, Mr. Kevin Stowers, Assistant Director of Engineering Services, said
this expenditure does not affect the year 2000 funds. Mr. Angel Escobar, Director of Engineering
Services, said staff will be bringing other TXDOT-related projects to the Council in the near future.
City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
5.a. M2001-178

Mayor Neal referred to the presentations on the day's agenda. The first presentation was
made by the Arts and Cultural Commission (ACC) regarding the "percent -for -art" ordinance. Mr.
Ronnie Sepulveda, Multicultural Services Manager, introduced Dr. Linda Avila, ACC chairperson.
Using a computer presentation, Dr. Avila noted that the following upcoming projects fall
under that ordinance: convention center, street improvements, park and recreation renovations,
museum improvements, general improvement projects, seawall improvements, and the multipurpose
arena. Mr. Sepulveda said that upon review of the projects, the ACC recommended omitting the
street, park and recreation/museum and general improvement projects from the required allocation,
while retaining the convention center, arena and seawall projects.
Dr. Avila said the purpose of the percent -for -art ordinance, which was approved by the
Council in March 1987, is for the city to accept responsibility for expanding the opportunities for

the citizens to experience art in public places; to recognize the substantial economic benefits from
the provision of cultural amenities; and to encourage the inclusion of works of art in private
developments in the city. She discussed the role of the Arts and Cultural Commission and the city
with regard to the ordinance. She said the city is responsible for including the percent -for -art
allocation in all city construction projects over $50,000. Dr. Avila noted that currently there are 32
pieces in the city's art collection, 22 of which were paid for by the percent -for -art funds.
In addition to the construction cost criteria, Mr. Sepulveda said that qualifying construction
projects include new construction or remodeling of a building, parking facility, park, arterial street,
sidewalk, or any portion thereof. With regard to the arena and convention center projects, the ACC
suggested that the architectural firm and the development committee recommend the names of
specific artists which will be submitted to the Council for their final approval. He said the ACC also
discussed the seawall project and suggested that requests for proposals be issued to artists with
environmental art expertise; the Council will have final approval of the artist selection.
Council Member Kinnison said he was surprised that the 1.25% allocation from the budgets
of the new construction projects equated to a possible $1.4 million in funding. He said he has some
concerns about the Council making a commitment to the policy at that time because there is a
question about what will be the actual construction costs.
Mr. Sepulveda said there would be no funding taken away from the seawall project because
the monies are already included. Mr. Escobar confirmed that the seawall budget includes $1.5
million worth of architectural enhancements. Dr. Avila said there were many projects, such as major
street improvements, that were theoretically eligible for the art allocation but the ACC decided to
forego them in order to devote the monies to construction. A brief discussion ensued. Mr. Sepulveda
discussed the importance of hiring an artist soon enough so that he or she can work with the
architects in designing an art piece that works in conjunction with the project, particularly the arena
and the convention center.
Responding to Council Member Scott, Dr. Avila said the ACC members discussed
environmental art projects that could be incorporated into the seawall project at a low cost. She said
one of the commission members has talked to the arena architects about possible recommendations
of artists for that project.
In reply to Council Member Longoria, Mr. Dan Whitworth, Assistant Director of Park and
Recreation, said the Community Cultural Plan which the Council adopted in 1995 did not change
the 1987 ordinance (which is still in its original form), but public art and public space was one of the
issues that was discussed by the citizens involved in the process. Mr. Longoria agreed with Mr.
Kinnison that at this time there are still questions about exactly how much the arena will cost. He
said he understands the importance of public art while at the same time when funds are limited, they
have to be reasonable about what can be accomplished.
Council Member Colmenero said the Council needs to be responsive to the citizens'
intentions in approving the 2000 bond projects. He said he commends the artistic vision the ACC

members are promoting, particularly with the arena and convention center projects. Mr. Sepulveda
said that including a well-known artist's piece of art in the new projects will bring additional tourists
to Corpus Christi.
*************
The second presentation (Item 14) was the quarterly update on the airport reconstruction
project, which includes the terminal, commercial apron, and land side/roadway. Mr. Dave Hamrick,
Acting Director of Aviation, used a computer presentation to discuss the milestones that have
occurred in the three projects. In the terminal, the contractor has completed the north side flat -work
and next week they will begin the second level of construction. Regarding the commercial apron,
the Phase 1 bid award is on the day's agenda, while the city has received verbal notification of a
$1.95 million Federal Aviation Administration grant award for Phase 2. In addition, staff is preparing
for the release of 100% of the construction documents.
Mr. Hamrick said that with regard to the terminal project, currently change orders have been
maintained at 1.9% of the construction bid award of $16.5 million. He said staff expects to bring
proposed modifications to the Council by mid-June, such as two additional escalators and a new
public address system. The new terminal is scheduled for occupancy in May 2002. Mr. Hamrick also
responded to Council members' questions.
Mr. Doug Ellis, Project Manager with DMJM Aviation, used computer diagrams to further
illustrate the progress that has been made to date on the terminal construction, passenger loading
bridges and apron lighting, terminal apron improvements, lift station and sanitary sewer relocation,
and roadway and parking lot improvements. Mr. Richard Maxwell, the project architect, showed
photographs of the construction. Mr. Hamrick and Mr. Garcia responded to the Council.
Mayor Neal called for a brief recess. Upon reconvening, he opened discussion on Item 17
regarding the terminal apron improvements. There were no comments from the audience. City
Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
� 11
Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute a construction contract in
the amount of $1,141,497.80 with Bay, Ltd. for the Corpus Christi International Airport
Terminal Apron Improvements Phase 1 Project.
The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero, Garrett,
Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye'; Kelly absent.
*************
The third presentation (Item 15) was the quarterly update on the city's Risk Management
program. Mr. Jorge Cruz-Aedo, Director of Financial Services, explained that the city has four health
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
May 15, 2001
Page 10
insurance plans: Citicare, Citicare Q -Plus, Citicare Fire, and Public Safety Citicare. He said the city
serves as the program administrator, Entrust is the claims administrator, Spohn Health Network is
the network administrator, and Duran Insurance Brokerage is the advisor.
Mr. Cruz-Aedo discussed several financial aspects of the insurance program. He said the total
cash flows for all four plans from August 2000 through March 2001 are $9.9 million in contributions
and $9.4 million in health care costs, for a net income of $457,939. He also delineated the cash flows
of the four specific plans.
Responding to Council Member Kinnison, Mr. Cruz-Aedo said the actuary is taking a very
aggressive position on where he thinks the city will end up financially with the insurance plans. He
noted that normally, actuaries review at least 24 months of historical data, while the city has only
accumulated 22 months of data since it became self-insured. He agreed that the actual numbers are
not as bad as the actuary is projecting. City Manager Garcia added that the city is experiencing
positive results from changes that were made in the plan. Mr. Cruz-Aedo further described the
criteria that the actuary used for his analyses and his recommendations.
Mr. Cruz-Aedo noted that reserves are presently not being funded, while the industry
standard is 20% to 25% of claims costs. He explained that two or three plan participants reaching
the individual stop -loss cap would create a financial hardship for the plan. He said no plan or rate
adjustments have occurred for Citicare-Fire since August 1999 and for Public Safety Citicare since
March 2000, but costs for those two plans are trending upward. He said no program or plan changes
are being recommended for Citcare and Citicare Q -Plus at this time; however, staff needs to
negotiate some plan design changes with the police and fire unions that will help staff set rates that
can be implemented on August 1, 2001.
In reply to Mr. Kinnison, Deputy City Manager Noe said the city budget for FY2001-02 is
being prepared based on the current premium cost distribution between the employee and the city.
Council Member Kelly questioned the use of the actuary's figures to calculate costs since they vary
so much from the actual cash flow figures. Mr. Noe said staff is following the recommendation of
the city's outside auditors to utilize actuarial figures and he discussed the importance of building up
reserves in the health care plan. Mr. Kelly said it appears that staff can make a few more
administrative changes to save money but eventually the actual cost of health insurance is going to
outstrip the city's ability to economize, thereby impacting either the employees' costs or the level
of benefits or both.
Mr. Cruz-Aedo described the other Risk Management programs: workers' compensation
administration, general/auto liability administration, purchased insurance, and safety programs. He
said the estimated liability for workers' compensation claims is approximately $5 million and for
general/auto claims it is $8.5 million. Mr. Cruz-Aedo and Mr. Garcia further discussed workers'
compensation issues and the city's safety programs.
Responding to Council Member Garrett, Mr. Garcia and Mr. Noe said staff has been
providing the representatives of the fire and police unions with information about the city's health

insurance financial situation and they will provide copies of the actuarial studies. He said staff is
ready to begin the negotiations with the unions. With regard to Citicare, Mr. Cruz-Aedo said if there
are no plan changes, some increase will probably be required by August 1 st as part of the budget
process. In reply to Council Member Longoria, Mr. Cruz-Aedo described the safety program and
other plan issues.
Mayor Neal asked staff to consider making the insurance plan year coincide with the city's
fiscal year, which is August 1 -July 31. Mr. Garcia said that during their retreat the Council also
discussed the possibility of changing the city's fiscal year to coincide with the federal government's
fiscal year.
The fourth presentation (Item 16) was regarding the status of the Broadway Wastewater
Treatment Plant diversion project. In a computer presentation, Mr. Escobar described the Oso -
Greenwood implementation plan, which was approved by the Council in 1997. He said the plan
recommended eight phases to improve wastewater operations throughout the city, but more
specifically in the Oso -Greenwood implementation area. He said the recommendation of expanding
the Greenwood plant from 6 MGD (million gallons per day) to 8 MGD has been completed.
Mr. Escobar said the eight phases are as follows: Phase 1, Carolyn Heights area diversion to
Greenwood plant - in design; Phase 2, collection system for Sewer Planning Area 30 (Phase 1) -
complete; Phase 3, expansion of Greenwood plant from 8 MGD to 16 MGD - pending; Phase 4,
Broadway flows diversion/lift station/force main - preliminary design; Phase 5, Broadway plant
demolition and site clearance - pending diversion; Phase 6, regulated flow diversion force main from
Williams or Wooldridge lift station to Greenwood - future project; Phase 7, Greenwood expansion
from 16 MGD to 20 MGD - future project; and Phase 8, lift station and force main south of Oso
Creek - future project.
Mr. Escobar said since the approval of the 1997 plan, several circumstances have changed
which necessitate reviewing the plan's proposals. For instance, the 1997 plan anticipated diversion
amounts of 6 MGD while the preliminary design is calling for a capacity of 8 MGD; utilizing a dual
force main instead of a single one; and constructing a new Broadway lift station rather than making
improvements to the existing one. Consequently, the plan's original diversion cost estimate of $5.4
million has been increased to approximately $16.9 million. And the estimated cost of the Greenwood
plant expansion requirements to treat the additional Broadway flows went from $16.5 million in
1997 to $36 million to $42 million today. The total estimated cost of the diversion project was $22.4
million in 1997 and now it is $53 million to $59.9 million.
Mr. Escobar said that every year staff has updated the cost estimates in the capital
improvement plan (CIP), and the FY2000-01 CIP budgets $47.1 million for Phases 3, 4 and 5 of the
diversion project. He said other aspects of the project are the permit and right-of-way acquisitions,
contracts for design and construction, and CIP yearly funding limitations. He said the earliest
possible completion date is in mid -2008 while a more realistic date is late 2009 to close and

demolish the Broadway plant. Mr. Garcia said it is not just a question of closing the Broadway plant,
it also involves shifting that capacity to another plant which has much higher treatment standards.
In response to Council Member Colmenero, Mr. Escobar said that Item 18 on the day's
agenda is needed to meet the plant's daily operations, including the daily parameters for discharge.
He said the plant was built in the 1930s and despite renovations and additions, much of the
equipment is very old.
Responding to Council Member Scott, Mr. Escobar said that options to the 1997 diversion
plan are to construct a new covered plant at the Broadway plant site or at another location, or to
rehabilitate the existing facility. Mr. Foster Crowell, Wastewater Superintendent, added that the
Broadway plant utilizes an older treatment process while the city's other wastewater plants use a
more modern treatment process. However, the Broadway plant has been maintained to stay within
the required permit parameters. Mr. Garcia pointed out that many things have changed since the 1997
plan was approved and staff is recommending revisiting that plan.
Council Member Garrett asked what was the original purpose of the diversion project. Mr.
Escobar said that in 1997 the question was whether the city was going to build a southside
wastewater treatment plant or increase the capacity of the Oso plant. During that discussion, it was
pointed out that the city could save up to $900,000 a year in operation and maintenance costs by
closing the Broadway plant and diverting those flows to the Greenwood plant.
Mayor Neal said one of the issues that was not fully considered in the development of the
1997 plan was the problem of inflow and infiltration in the downtown area. In response to Council
Member Longoria, Mr. Escobar said the city owns an additional 40 acres south of the Greenwood
plant that is available for a future expansion.
The Mayor called for consideration of Item 18, engineering services for equipment at the
Broadway plant. There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the
Council for their votes as follows:
18. M2001-189
Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute an Amendment No. 3 to an
engineering services contract in the amount of $43,010 with Govind and Associates, Inc. for
the Broadway Wastewater Treatment Plant lift station and diversion to Greenwood
Wastewater Treatment Plant/Nueces River Delta (digester blowers and air diffusers
replacement project).
The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero, Garrett,
Kelly, Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye."

Miscellaneous Street Improvements.
The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero, Garrett,
Kelly, Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye."
*************
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 20, financial policies. Mr. Mark McDaniel, Director
of Management and Budget, said these policies are the same as those in effect the last three years,
although Section 4 has been modified because the five percent fund balance goal in the General Fund
is expected to be reached by the end of the current fiscal year. In addition, a new section has been
added to address the new Governmental Accounting Standards Board requirements of Statement 34,
which should maintain and strengthen the city's bond rating.
Council Member Kinnison said he was interested in finding out what other cities' fund
balance goals were, adding that five percent equates to about 2.6 weeks of operational funds. Mr.
McDaniel said the industry standard is between 10% to 15% depending on each city's circumstances.
Mr. Garcia said the city's budget has been stabilized and staff is recommending a rebuilding process.
There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes:
20. RESOLUTION NO. 024455

Mayor Neal deviated from the regular agenda and opened discussion on Item 25, Animal
Control Advisory Committee composition. There were no comments from the audience. City
Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
25. FIRST READING ORDINANCE
Ordinance amending the City Code of Ordinances, City of Corpus Christi, Chapter 2
Administration, Article IV Miscellaneous Boards, Commissions and Committees, Division

Kinnison, Longoria, and Noyola voting "Aye"; Chesney, Kelly, and Scott voting "No."
Mayor Neal called for a brief recess.
Mayor Neal called for petitions from the audience.
Ms. Rose Garza, a member of the Corpus Christi Metro Ministries Board, thanked the
Council for their preliminary award of funds to that organization during the public hearing last week
for the Consolidated Annual Action Plan. She said Metro Ministries' facilities are in dire need of
repair and they provide much-needed assistance to homeless people.

Mr. R.F. Hasker, 1813 Wallace, said there are many questions about where people will park
once the new arena is built. Council Member Longoria said there will be a presentation next week
about that project and it will show that there will be sufficient parking.
Mr. Jack Gordy, 310 Norton St., said some city facilities are not flying the proper size of
United States flags. He also asked how long the city intends to give the Regional Transportation
Authority to stop violating the city ordinance, state law, and federal law regarding advertisements
on bus benches in state rights-of-way.
Mr. J.E. O'Brien, 4130 Pompano, said if the Council's reason for moving the public
comment portion to 5:30 p.m. was to accommodate the working public, it should not be long before
the Council decides to begin their meetings at 5:30 p.m. as well. He said historically retreats have
always been referred to as "workshops," and he quoted from the City Charter regarding Council
workshops. He said that during the Council retreat held on May 7, 2001, the Council changed its
policy regarding public comment; therefore, it appears that the Council violated city policy and the
City Charter. He said the Council could correct that action by scheduling an agenda item to officially
change the Council policy regarding public comment.
Mr. Jose Marroquin, 2433 Allencrest, said he is against the elimination of the public access
cable channel because it would stifle his constitutional right of free speech. He said if that occurs,
he will boycott Time Warner and file a complaint. Council Member Noyola said he was wrong to
comment last week about possibly eliminating that channel, adding that it is not fair to punish all the
users of that channel because of comments made by one person. Council Member Longoria said the
comment last week was that the option of eliminating the channel exists but none of the Council
members indicated that they were going to take that action.
Mr. Joe De La Garza also referred to unwelcome comments made on a specific public access
cable channel program. He said he was told that the Felix Longoria Chapter of the American G.I.
Forum indicated that one individual would no longer represent the chapter. He said that chapter
should not be involved in politics and he objected to derogatory comments that were made about
people involved in volunteer church activities.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 22, Consolidated Annual Action Plan. There were
no comments from the audience.
Council Member Noyola referred to an alternate funding proposal that was tentatively
approved last week. He made a motion to change the funding amounts as follows: instead of
$100,000 going to the Manshiem project and $200,000 going to the Coastal Bend Community
Foundation (CBCF), $200,000 would go to the Manshiem project and $100,000 would go to the
CBCF. Council Member Longoria said there is a question whether the Ballet Nacional and CBCF
projects will be eligible for the funds, which will be determined by the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development. Council Member Chesney seconded Mr. Noyola's motion.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
May 15, 2001
Page 16
Mr. Longoria suggested that Mr. Noyola's motion instead target any funds that become
available through the possible ineligibility of the two projects he mentioned. Council Member
Kinnison pointed out that at this time the Manshiem project only needs $105,000.
Following additional discussion, Mr. Kinnison made a motion that the first $100,000 of any
reprogrammed or ineligible funds would go to the Manshiem project (thereby doing away with the
alternate motion adopted last week). Mr. Colmenero seconded Mr. Kinnison's motion. Mr. Noyola
and Mr. Chesney concurred with the alternate motion. Council Member Scott expressed support for
the Timon's Ministries project, which was not funded.
There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council and
Mr. Kinnison's motion to amend Item 22 passed unanimously. Responding to Mr. Longoria, Mr.
Norbert Hart, Director of Housing and Community Development, said the city is required to set aside
a minimum of 15% of the funding for Community Housing Development Organizations. Mr. Chapa
polled the Council for their votes as follows:
22.a. M2001-191
Motion adopting the FY2001 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency
Shelter Grants (ESG), and the Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) Programs.
The foregoing motion passed, as amended, by the following vote: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero,
Garrett, Kelly, Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye."
22.b. RESOLUTION NO. 024459
Resolution adopting the City of Corpus Christi Consolidated Annual Action Plan (AAP) for
Community Planning and Development Programs for FY2001; authorizing the City Manager
or his designee to submit the Consolidated/Annual Action Plan to the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development; and authorizing the City Manager or his designee to make
changes in the Consolidated/Annual Action Plan if required by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development.
The foregoing resolution passed, as amended, by the following vote: Neal, Chesney,
Colmenero, Garrett, Kelly, Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye."
Mayor Neal referred to a letter sent to the Council by Mr. Juan Valdez, President of the Rose
Shaw Special Emphasis School PTA. He said this action indicates that the Council supports that
organization and their project, as well as similar projects.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Items 23 and 24 regarding Packery Channel. City Manager
Garcia explained that the purpose of these proposals is to give the city flexibility to expedite the
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting

Packery Channel dredging project. Mr. Cruz-Aedo pointed out that while the amount of the bonds
will be $10.5 million, this reimbursement resolution is limited to $1.05 million. He said incidental
expenses for the project, such as those incurred under Item 24 (for $22,000) would initially come
from the General Fund until the monies are available in the tax increment financing (TIF) fund, at
which time the General Fund would be reimbursed.
Responding to Council Member Kinnison, City Attorney Bray said the TIF is a legal entity
which is governed by state law. He said the TIF board will develop the project plan and the ultimate
financing plan after they receive the final monetary figures from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
He added that since the city is the local sponsor of the project, bond counsel has advised that the city
should pass a reimbursement resolution.
Mr. Kinnison expressed concern about the city incurring other expenditures to be reimbursed
when the TIF has not yet approved a plan and does not have funding to make the reimbursement. Mr.
Garcia assured the Council that given the controversy and Council interest in Packery Channel, no
monies will be spent without Council approval, even amounts less than $15,000. In addition, there
will be a budget jointly prepared by the Corps and city staff which will have to be approved by the
Council.
City Secretary Chapa announced that Council Members Garrett and Kelly would abstain from
discussing or voting on Items 23 and 24.
Council Member Chesney asked if the monies will soon be available in the TIF in order to
reimburse the city for expenses incurred. Mr. Noe replied that a separate fund will be created to
account for the revenues from the TIF. He said the appraisal district has indicated that monies should
be available from the values of the properties in the TIF. Mr. Garcia added that whether or not the
bonds are issued, the monies will be accruing in the TIF now that the Council created that entity. Mr.
Chesney discussed the importance of being fiscally responsive to citizens.
Council Member Scott said this is not a tax increase. Property owners inside and outside the
TIF boundary will pay the same tax rate; the only difference is if property in the TIF increases in
valuation, that incremental amount will go to the TIF. Mr. Stowers said staff is anticipating only
having minor incidental expenses at this time in regard to Packery Channel. Mr. Scott noted that a
ground breaking ceremony was recently held for a $2.5 million development project inside the TIF
boundary.
Responding to Council Member Longoria, Mr. Garcia said staff told the Corps of Engineers
that the city wished to facilitate the pace of the Packery Channel project. The Corps replied that due
to their federal processes, it would be more expedient if the city was responsible for the title services.
Mr. Garcia added that the Packery Channel project is completely independent of what the developer
is doing. He said he believes that the bonds will be privately placed to the developer and if the
developer decides not to buy them, staff believes there will still be a market for the bonds, which will
be backed by the TIF revenues. A discussion ensued.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
May 15, 2001
Page 18
Mr. Chesney asked why the Council has to approve the $1.05 million reimbursement
resolution at this time. Mr. Cruz-Aedo said the IRS requires that the resolution include the full
amount of the potential bond sale, which is $10.5 million. He said staff limited the city's exposure
amount in the resolution to 10% of the bond amount, or $1.05 million. Mr. Garcia reiterated that
staff anticipates the amount spent will be significantly less than $1.05 million. Mayor Neal called
for public comment on Items 23 and 24.
Mr. Jack Gordy questioned why interest will not be charged on the $22,000 for the title
searches. Mr. Cruz-Aedo replied that interest is not charged when using general obligation bond
funds because both sources involve taxes.
Mr. R.F. Hasker said some Council members asked very good questions but the answers were
not very conclusive. He added that those questions should have been brought up before the TIF was
finalized. He asked if there is a limit as to how far the city will go with regard to Packery Channel.
Mr. Cruz-Aedo said that as previously stated, the resolution limits the amount to $1.05 million and
staff will bring every disbursement to the Council for their approval. Mr. Hasker also commented
on Item 24, questioning whether the city is doing the Corps' work by providing the title services.
City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
23. RESOLUTION NO. 024460
Resolution expressing official intent to reimburse costs of the Packery Channel
Improvements Project.
The foregoing resolution passed by the following vote: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero, Kinnison,

The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero, Kinnison,
Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye'; Garrett and Kelly abstaining.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 26, dog restraints.
Responding to Council Member Kelly, Dr. Nina Sisley, Director of Public Health, said there
are two different proposed amendments to the Code of Ordinances regarding tethering of dogs in
yards and in the back of trucks. She said the problem with tying a dog around a tree is that it gets

tangled up and cannot reach water, food or shelter. In addition, the Animal Control Division has
picked up dogs that have died from choking to death after being tied up. Mr. Kelly asked if the city's
existing ordinance regarding animal cruelty would be applicable. Dr. Sisley said an animal control
officer would have to actually witness the cruelty occurring in order for that ordinance to apply.
In reply to Council Member Colmenero, Dr. Sisley said the Animal Control Advisory
Committee members were the ones who brought these proposed amendments forward.
Council Member Chesney also asked about the animal cruelty ordinance. Mr. Jeff Beynon,
Animal Control Supervisor, said that state law requires there be a "culpable state of mind," meaning
that the city would have to prove that the cruelty was intentional. He said currently there is an effort
in the state legislature to have that phrase removed. Mr. Chesney expressed concern about over-
regulation by the government.
Council Member Kinnison asked if there was any documentation about incidents involving
dogs not being properly tethered in a truck. Mr. Beynon said that is difficult to document because
if an accident occurs from a dog being thrown or jumping from a truck, the owner often leaves the
scene because he is legally liable for that accident occurring. He said the Police Department is in
favor of this amendment for safety reasons and they will be enforcing it. He said a serious accident
occurred about four months ago when a dog went through the windshield of a car following a truck,
which resulted in a major accident. In addition, the owner of the dog left the scene.
Council Member Scott said he owns a dog but he is concerned about the continued intrusion
by the government in people's private lives. Council Member Longoria said the government
regulates many aspects of people's lives, such as how fast they can drive, and he does not feel this
is an intrusion but rather a way to protect animals.
In reply to another question from Mr. Colmenero, Mr. Beynon said the city already requires
that a dog be kept in a fenced yard or, if there is no fence, to be tied up. He said this amendment
would require that a dog be tethered in a different way --with a cable and a run. Dr. Sisley said many
dogs are tied up 24 hours a day.
Council Member Noyola asked how many reports the city has received of dogs dying from
being tied up. Mr. Beynon replied that Animal Control investigates five to 10 cases a week and about
live dogs a month die from thirst or choking. Mayor Neal called for public comment.
Ms. Susan Thiem, a member of the Animal Control Advisory Committee, said they are not
trying to impose on people's lifestyles. She said that as Mr. Beynon explained, the cruelty laws do
not apply in these cases and these amendments are an effort to prevent cruelty to dogs and prevent
accidents. She added that compared to other cities, Corpus Christi is far behind the times in its
treatment of animals.
City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
SUBJECT: S. Alameda, Santa Fe and Weber Road Rehabilitation Projects
Change Order — Wastewater Laterals on Santa Fe .
BACKGROUND: Eleven (11) sanitary sewer laterals cross the portion of Santa Fe being
rehabilitated. The construction plans and specifications provided for the sanitary sewer
laterals on Santa Fe to be cleaned, televised and lined. Six of the televised lines were
found to be in such poor condition that lining was not feasible and replacement with new
laterals is required. Replacement of the wastewater laterals is necessary to ensure that
failure under the rehabilitated section of Santa Fe does not occur.
Wastewater line cleaning and televising is required prior and during installation of in-situ
or slip liners. Televising for inspection prior to bidding the project would have resulted in
additional cleaning/televising costs and delay the project. It was not possible to determine
the condition of the lines until cleaning and televising was completed.
- PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION:
1. November 19. 1999 — Approval of engineering contract in the amount of $363,990
with RVE, Inc. for the South Alameda/Santa Fe/Weber Road Rehabilitation projects.
2. July 18, 2000 — Approval of Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $104,170 to the
engineering contract with RVE, Inc. for sanitary sewer lines associated with the
South Alameda/Santa Fe/Weber Road Rehabilitation projects.

Exhibit A
Page 1 of 4
BACKGROUND:
Bayfront Protection Structures:
Construction of the Bayfront Protection Structures began in 1939. The most
identifiable portion of these structures is the concrete steps and apron panels
(sidewalk). However, the Bayfront Protection Structures and other seawall or
bulkhead type structures also includes the L and T -heads, breakwaters, riprap, and
the earthen levy extending to the Harbor Bridge.
The structures incorporated into the Bayfront Protection include:
1. Vertical Bulkheads consisting of steel sheet pile main wall with reinforced
concrete caps;
2. Sloped Slabs on Grade with shallow steel sheet piles "cut-off' wall at the
lower edge;
3. Stepped Seawall Sections which are timber pile supported reinforced
concrete beam -and -slab structures with four transverse beams extending
from a top longitudinal girder (head beam) to a bottom steel sheet
pile/concrete cap (beam).
The seawall section beams are supported on creosote treated timber foundation
piles with the top surface of the slab being formed into steps conforming to the
slope of the seawall. Each section is headed at the top with a longitudinal beam for
the full length (40') of the section and ended at the bottom with a longitudinal pile
cap beam along a steel sheet pile wall. See Exhibit B-2. Three different designs
of these sections were used with a fourth modification without steps used at two
locations.
Additionally, two large pressure discharge storm drains are installed through the
seawall that are of a significant size that the integrity of the line upstream is a major
consideration during storm tides. Storm Drain Sluice Gates also are installed
through the seawall. Weepholes (filtered relief ports) were also installed in each
section of the seawall to help alleviate excessive hydrostatic pressure behind the
steel sheet piling.
Condition Assessments:
The more recent condition assessments of the Seawall include:
1. November, 1980 - A Study of the Structural Integrity of the Peoples Street T -
Head, Including the Necessity, if any, for Piling. Ogletree & Gunn, Inc.;
2. October, 1981 - Engineering Study & Recommendation for L -Head and T -
Head and Breakwater Improvements. Goldston Engineering;
3. July, 1985 - Report on Condition Survey & Inspection of the Corpus Christi
Seawall. Ogletree, Byrne, Welsh & Hubner Engineering; and
4. June, 1987 - Preliminary Review for the Proposed Improvements to Barge
Dock & Water Circulation Tunnels. Ogletree Engineering, Inc.
5. November, 1999 - Seawall Investigation Project Final Report. Shiner
Moseley and Associates, Inc.
The most recent study by Shiner Moseley included geotechnical testing and
analysis, a pile condition or capacity assessment, concrete compression testing,
laboratory tests of reinforcing steel, concrete petrography, inspection and
Exhibit A
Page 2 of 4
assessment of timber piles, assessment of anchor rod and turnbuckle conditions,
void detection, or use of new non-destructive investigation techniques (Ground
Penetrating Radar). (Concrete petrography is the process of conducting tests on
concrete samples (cores) to determine/verify the original concrete mix design,
water/cement ratios, and other physical concrete properties.) Additionally, it was
determined that an investigation of representative sidewalk panels would be
beneficial. Two panels were selected for further investigation based upon visual
inspection of cracking patterns and voiding under the apron panels (panels 205 &
206).
Assessment Findings:
The structure is over 60 years old. Marine structures of this type are typically
designed with a much shorter life and require major maintenance after 30 to 40
years. The seawall has performed very well, but has received only the most
minimal maintenance. Key findings were:
1. the overall protection system is intact, but is in need of reconstruction to
ensure its continued viability;
2. soil has been lost under the seawall creating voids along its entire length;
3. the rear timber piles examined were decayed from fungus attack with up to
half the pile diameter lost, and marine borers have damaged the front row of
pilings;
4. concrete was found to be of a very high quality, but corrosive salts are
penetrating through the concrete;
5. reinforcing steel is not yet experiencing general corrosion, but where cracks
allowed seawater to penetrate to the steel there was limited areas of
significant corrosion;
6. there are noticeably large cracks in almost all of the 40 -foot long concrete
panels that make up the seawall which appeared to have originated due to
temperature shortly after construction; and
7. sheet pilings that is supposed to seal and support the front of the seawall
were found to be deteriorated which weaken the wall and allow sand under
the seawall and sidewalk to leak out.
ENGINEERING CONTRACTS:
Shiner Moseley Contract: Two engineering contracts are recommended for award.
The City is contracting directly with Shiner Moseley and Associates, and Fugro
South, Inc. Shiner Moseley and Associates was selected through the City's RFP
process, and was deemed to be best qualified for the investigation project. The
scope of the investigation contract provided for a future amendment to address
design and construction phase services. Shiner Moseley is a local engineering firm
that is highly experienced with marine and coastal engineering.
The contract fee consists of basic design services in the amount of $298,700 and
additional services in the amount of $282,300 for a total design fee of $581,000.
The additional services are not part utilized in the computation of the basic design
fee. The negotiated basic service fee represents approximately 9% of the
anticipated construction costs for this phase. This percentage is higher than
negotiated for most City engineering contracts. Review indicated the engineering
fee percentage for most marine repair projects is in the 10.5% to 12% range.
Exhibit A
Page 3 of 4
Additional service fees are paid only when needed and utilized during the contract.
The additional service fees include architectural planning, permitting, pilot project
evaluation and computer wave modeling that is applicable to the entire project.
Extensive construction inspection/observation services are included in additional
services for this first reconstruction project. The results of the Pilot program are
anticipated to significantly reduce design fees for the remaining construction
contracts. A contract summary is attached. See Exhibit C-1.
Fugro South, Inc., Contract: Fugro South, Inc. was recommended by the design
engineer. Fugro South is a large national engineering testing firm that maintains a
highly qualified local office that was formerly Gulf Coast Testing. Fugro South has
extensive experience on similar projects. A contract summary is attached. See
Exhibit C-2.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The program originally called for a small pilot project to
reconstruct two to four panels to be followed by four additional larger construction projects.
The pilot program would permit the identification of the most effective materials and
methods for use on the future construction contract. The timing of the Arena project
required a modification of the work program. The modified work program includes the pilot
project and a substantial portion of Reconstruction Contract B-1. The modified work
program will ensure seawall construction in the Arena and Convention Center area is
complete in advance of important projects.
This phase of the project will result in the repair of up to 38 panels involving some 1520
linear feet of seawall. The project will start at the panel closest to the barge dock and
proceed away from the Convention Center ending at panel #193 which is located between
Power and Belden Street. The construction project will include:
1. new sheet pilings capable of carrying the increased weight of a future concrete
overlay of the concrete steps;
2. filling voids;
3. repairing or sealing cracks and expansion joints;
4. installing a new sidewalk;
5. conduit and pedestals for lighting.
PROJECT SCHEDULE: Construction is anticipated to start in April, 2002 with completion
by March, 2003. This will allow seawall construction in the vicinity of the arena and
convention center to be completed in advance those critical projects.
FUNDING: Funding is available from the additional 1/8 cent sales tax approved by voters
during the November, 2000 general election.
OTHER ISSUES:
U. S Corps of Engineers: The proposed design was reviewed by the U. S. Army
Corps of Engineers (COE). They have issued an opinion that concurs with the
design approach being followed.

for up to 20 hours/week. The Engineer's Project Manager will visit the job site up to ten (10) hours
per week (average) during the construction process, which is assumed to be 11 months at this
time. The purpose of the site observations will be to observe the materials and techniques utilized
during the performance of the pilot program, as well as project observation for general
compliance with the plans and specifications. (Evaluation of the materials and techniques will
follow and a construction contract change order will be issued to the contractor for the preferred
materials or techniques.)
5. Coordination and Evaluation of and Petrographic Analysis. Cores will be taken (by others) before
the application of the material(s) used for chloride extraction. Near the end of the construction
phase of this contract, these cores will be evaluated petrographically (by others) for chloride
levels before and after treatment. At that time, Engineer will evaluate results and make
recommendations to City Engineer on the effectiveness of chloride extraction for this contract as
well as future phases of the project.
6. A pre -design underwater survey will be performed in the area of work under this contract.
Random probing (not continuous) at the toe of the existing sheet piling will be performed to look
for debris that might interfere with the advancement of the new sheet piling. In addition, a general
condition survey will be performed on the stormwater outfall penetrations with measurements
collected in sufficient detail to allow construction drawings to be developed. A complete 100 -
percent visual survey is not intended to be provided for all submerged surfaces. For the
manpower effort allocated for this task, it is assumed that this work will be carried out
concurrently with the crack mapping task.
7. Presentations/Public Meetings. Since this is a high profile project, several key meetings are
anticipated and limited public involvement will be important. Time has been allocated for 1 council
meeting, as well as coordination time with the City's media group to allow the press to conduct
live video during three key areas of work, and prepare short narratives to distribute to the press,
regarding the project status.
8. Warranty Phase. The following work will be performed via future contract amendments. Provide
a maintenance guaranty walk-through toward the end of the one-year period after acceptance
of the Project. Note any defects requiring contractor action to maintain, repair, fix, restore, patch,
or replace any improvement under the maintenance guaranty terms of the contract. Document
the condition and prepare a report for the City staff of the locations and conditions requiring
action, with its recommendation for the method or action to best correct defective conditions and
submit to City Staff. Complete the inspection and prepare the report no later than sixty (60) days
prior to the end of the maintenance guaranty period.
9. Architectural Allowance, Evaluation of Pilot Program, and Development of Wave Forces. An
architectural allowance ($1,500,000 in 1999$) was included in the entire Seawall Rehabilitation
project budget, as well as $750,000 (in 1999$) for lighting. For this contract, an allowance has
been included for architectural planning services that will allow for prioritizing the areas of the
Seawall that will have architectural treatments and development of conceptual cost estimates and
Exhibit C-1

Proposal for Geotechnical and Construction Materials Testing Services
Seawall Reconstruction Project — Pilot Program and Contract B-1
City of Corpus Christi Project No. 3169
Corpus Christi, Texas
Introduction
Fugro South, Inc. is pleased to submit this proposal as part of the negotiation process to provide
geotechnical and construction materials testing services for the above referenced project. The
original proposal (1601-2000-1083 dated December 11, 2000) was requested by Mr. Jeff
Massengill, P.E. with the Shiner, Moseley & Associates (SMA) on behalf of the City of Corpus
Christi during a meeting on December 6, 2000. During a meeting on May 8, 2001, Mr. Massengill,
P.E. requested that we provide a revised proposal based upon the revised scope of work as
outlined later in this proposal.
Fugro South, Inc. is a full service geotechnical and materials engineering company with extensive
experience on similar projects. We have been providing these services for over fifty years. Our
capabilities and experience enable us to provide you with many advantages during both the design
and construction phases of your project. This proposal provides a brief summary of the project
and then describes our proposed scope of work, cost, and terms, and anticipated schedule for
completing this study.
Project Description
We understand that the City of Corpus Christi plans to reconstruct the deteriorating Seawall along
Shoreline Drive in Corpus Christi, Texas. The first phase of the reconstruction project will involve
a pilot program and Contract B-1, which will encompass approximately 1500 If of seawall. The

City of Corpus Christi Proposal No. 1601-2000-1083 (revised)
pilot program was recommended in the report prepared by SMA, and by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers as a result of the peer review process that was utilized during the investigation phase
for this project. A preliminary geotechnical study was also performed by Bacon Engineering, Inc.
(AGRA File No. 8-729-000119) during the investigation phase of this project.
The pilot program and Contract B-1 will involve approximately 38 panels of the Seawall, located
between 1-37 and the Barge Dock. Tentatively, the pilot program and Contract B-1 will be
conducted in the vicinity of panels 193 to 231. The purpose of the pilot project is to test, refine,
and optimize materials and methods that will be utilized for reconstruction along the remainder
length of the Seawall (including Contract B-1), and to confirm opinions of probable cost that were
previously developed.
Fugro South, Inc. has been requested to provide construction materials testing services, and
geotechnical exploration and consultation to assist in the pilot program and Contract B-1. These
services have been divided into the following six (6) tasks:
1. Chloride Testing
2. Backfill Testing
3, Grout Testing
4. Concrete Testing
5. Geotechnical Study
6. Engineering Consultation
A description and scope of work for each task is provided in the following section. Our estimates
of cost and schedules for completion are also included. For budgeting purposes we have
assumed that the geotechnical study and construction materials testing be performed for all 38
panels of the pilot study and Contract B-1 However, the chloride testing will of concrete cores
taken from existing seawall panels will be restricted to panels within the area of the pilot study
only.
Chloride Testing
We understand that the City of Corpus Christi is considering treatment of the existing concrete
panels along the Seawall to reduce existing chloride levels within the concrete. Fugro South has
been requested to obtain 4 concrete cores (assume maximum 8 -inch thick) from 4 of the concrete
-2-
Exhibit C-2

Mr. Kevin Stowers, P.E. May 10, 2001
City of Corpus Christi Proposal No. 1601-2000-1083 (revised)
panels to be repaired in the pilot program. The concrete cores will then be tested for chloride
concentrations at intervals of 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4 -inches from the bottom of the cores. Two of the
concrete cores from each panel will be collected and tested prior to treatment, and the remaining 2
cores from each panel will be collected and tested approximately 6 months after treatment. Upon
completion of concrete coring, Fugro South will backfill the core holes using non -shrink grout.
Our proposed scope of work for this task consists of the following:
• mobilize the necessary equipment and personnel to the project site to collect 4 samples
from each panel (assume 4 panels will require coring) by coring through the concrete
(assume maximum 8 -inch thick); Sampling will be performed using two separate
mobilizations, one prior to treatment and one at a subsequent date to be determined by
the Client;
• grout each core hole after sample collection with non -shrink grout;
• test each core sample for chloride concentrations at intervals of 1, 2, 3, and 4 inches
from the bottom of each sample; and
• provide a data report presenting the results of the chloride concentration tests.
Additional consultation for interpretation of chloride concentration test results, both before and
after application of chloride extraction product, has been included in our estimate (assume 8
hours).
Backfill Testing
We understand that the process for the Seawall reconstruction will include backfill on both sides of
a newly installed sheetpile wall at the rear of the structure. Fugro South has been requested to
provide construction material testing services to monitor placement of material behind the
sheetpile wall. These services should include qualifying potential backfill materials, determining
compaction requirements for qualified materials, and testing backfill materials in-place to discern
compliance with project specifications.
Our proposed scope of work for this task consists of the following:
• perform 8 qualification tests (Atterberg Limits and Percent Material Finer than #200
Sieve) on samples of material submitted for use as potential backfill;
• perform 8 Standard Proctor tests on qualified materials to determine moisture -
compaction requirements; and

conduct in-place density tests (assume 125 tests total; 8 lifts and 1 test per lift per 100
If or a minimum of 2 tests per lift) on compacted subgrade (assume minimum of 2 tests
per call out and no standby time waiting on-site).
Grout Testing
We understand that a grouting specialist will be subcontracted by others to inject grout beneath
the existing concrete panels to fill areas containing voids. Fugro South has been requested to
provide construction materials testing services during the grouting procedures to test grout
strengths for compliance with construction specifications.
Our proposed scope of work for this task consists of the following:
• cast one set of 6 grout cubes for each day grout injection is performed (assume 40
days of grouting; 40 sets of 6 grout cubes); and
• perform 7-, 14-, and 28 -day compressive strength tests on grout cubes and present test
results in a written report.
Concrete Testing
We understand that concrete will be placed at the front and back of each panel, and for the
sidewalk replacement behind the Seawall panels. Fugro South has been requested to provide
construction materials testing services to monitor placement of concrete during this contract.
Our proposed scope of work for this task consists of the following:
• cast 2 sets of 4 cylinders (front and back) per panel (38 panels), and 1 set of 4
cylinders per every 2 panels for the replacement sidewalk behind the panels (total of
about 95 sets of 4 cylinders); and
• perform 7-, 14-, and 28 -day compressive strength tests (one hold cylinder) for each set
of concrete cylinders and present test results in a written report.
Geotechnical Study
As part of Contract B-1, we have been requested to perform 14 soil borings along the existing
seawall between panels 193 and 231. Of the 14 soil borings, 7 will be performed in the water in
front of the seawall to a depth of approximately 30 ft below the mudline and 7 will be performed
through the concrete sidewalk behind the seawall to a depth of approximately 65 ft below grade.
Coring of concrete will be required at each of the 8 land boring locations.

Exhibit C-2
Page 4 of 1C
Mr. Kevin Stowers, P.E. May 10, 2001
City of Corpus Christi Proposal No. 1601-2000-1083 (revised)
In addition, we have been requested to perform 2 soil borings near the existing concrete bulkhead
adjacent to the Art Museum of South Texas. One soil boring will be performed in the water to a
depth of about 40 ft below the mudline. The second soil boring will be performed behind the
bulkhead using hand augering techniques to a depth of about 10 ft.
The land borings will be performed with a truck mounted drilling rig. It is our understanding that
portions of the concrete sidewalk have experienced some under -mining, which has created voids
under the slabs. As a precaution against failure of the sidewalk slabs during the drilling process,
timber pads will be used under the stabilization supports of the drilling rig to reduce point load
stresses. However, even with precautions, damage to the existing sidewalk slabs may occur.
Repair of any such damages are beyond the scope of this proposal.
The water borings will be performed with a truck mounted drilling rig secured to a spud barge with
45 -ft spuds to anchor the barge during drilling. A tug will remain with the barge during drilling
operations to move the drilling rig between boring locations, as well as for safety purposes.
Our proposed scope of work for this task consists of the following:
1. Field Work
• core through the concrete sidewalk behind the seawall to allow access to the
subsurface soils.
• perform 16 borings, as discussed above, at the locations selected by SMA.
• sample continuously in the borings to a depth of 10 ft, and at 5 ft intervals thereafter;
• record estimates of cohesive soil shear strength using a hand-held penetrometer or
Torvane;
• measure depth of water to the mudline at water boring locations;
• estimate groundwater levels in land borings using open boreholes before backfilling;
and
• backfill land borings with cuttings removed from the boreholes and patch coreholes
through sidewalk with concrete.
2. Lab Testing
• soil classification tests including but not limited to: natural moisture contents, liquid and
plastic limits, and grain -size analyses (if required); and

Mr. Kevin Stowers, P.E.
City of Corpus Christi
May 10, 2001
Proposal No. 1601-2000-1083 (revised)
• strength tests including unconfined compression and/or unconsolidated undrained
triaxial tests.
Engineering Consultation
Fugro South has been asked to provide geotechnical engineering consultation during the pilot
program and Contract B-1 for the Seawall reconstruction using subsurface information obtained
from our above outlined geotechnical study as well as existing subsurface information provided in
the Investigation Phase report prepared by Bacon Engineering.
Our proposed scope of work for this task consists of the following:
• providing estimates of axial capacity for the existing timber piles and for the proposed
continuous sheetpile walls to be installed for the Seawall reconstruction;
• providing soil parameters to assist in the design of proposed continuous sheetpile walls
and timber piles; and
• providing geotechnical recommendations to assist in relieving hydrostatic pressure
build-up behind the continuous rear sheetpile anchor wall, and between the front and
rear sheetpile wall.
We have also made allowance for both geotechnical and construction materials consultation and
attendance at project meetings prior to and during construction of the pilot program and Contract
B-1.
Cost and Terms
• Services to be performed in accordance with our "General Conditions for Technical
Services" Schedule 40.01, Rev.1 (May 2000), and this proposal.
• We estimate the cost for the geotechnical and construction materials testing services
for this project will be about $79,602. This estimate is based upon the scope of work
described previously in this proposal, and the special conditions and/or assumptions
outlined in the following section. Invoicing for our services will be on a unit cost basis in
accordance with the fee schedule indicated on the attached cost estimate (Attachment
1). However, we will not exceed the estimated cost without prior notification and
approval by Client.
• This proposal estimate will remain valid for a period of 90 days.
• All final reporting will be submitted in triplicate.

City of Corpus Christi Proposal No. 1601-2000-1063 (revised)
Special Conditions and/or Assumptions. Several assumptions have been made in developing
our cost estimate and include:
• A total of 38 panels will be reconstructed during the pilot program and Contract B-1;
• No permits are required to perform the field operations;
• Only one project mobilization/demobilization effort will be required for the barge;
• Fugro will subcontract a third party barge and tugboat to transport our drilling
equipment to the job site and between boring locations;
• The loading, transport, and unloading of the drilling equipment and supplies to and from
the job site using the barge will take a maximum of three (3) hours each day;
• We will not encounter overhead and/or underground obstructions;
• Removal of drill cuttings and borehole fluids and broom sweeping will be sufficient
clean-up at each of the land boring location;
• Truck mounted drilling rig will be allowed on the sidewalk behind the seawall to perform
drilling operations;
• No traffic control necessary to perform borings along sidewalk behind seawall;
• Field work will be performed in Modified Level D personal protective equipment (rubber
boots, rubber gloves, etc.); and
• Fugro will notify Texas One -Call of our field activities prior to arrival of our drill crew.
Barge Work. We have assumed that on-site delays and drilling interruptions beyond our control
(e.g. ship traffic, weather, etc.) will not occur during the execution of our field work. Where borings
are disrupted during the drilling process, either due to weather or ship traffic, we will reposition the
drilling rig at a location between 5 and 20 ft from the original boring location. After repositioning,
we will advance a new boring to the termination depth of the disrupted boring, and then continue
our sampling procedures to the required depth below the mudline.
If poor weather interrupts our drilling operations, the full barge rental fee, the hourly rate for drilling
and sampling performed up to the time of interruption, per diem charges, and vehicle charge will
apply. For each additional day that drilling is not performed after an interruption due to weather
conditions, a standby rate of $700 per day will be assessed in order to maintain rental rights to the
barge, and prevent remobilization costs. This fee includes standby for the barge, as well as per
diem for the drilling crew and technician during the poor weather interval.
Where interruptions are temporary, and repositioning is feasible in the same day to continue
drilling, a standby rate of $150 per hour will apply during the interval of the interruption. All

interruptions and the duration of the interruptions will be clearly noted on our daily field reports for
this project. We will notify SMA and the City of these interruptions as they occur in order to reduce
any confusion over cost and schedule.
Schedule of Work
• Coring for chloride testing to take approximately 3 to 4 days for each mobilization;
Chloride testing to take approximately 4 to 6 weeks to complete all tests for each
mobilization.
• Drilling on land to begin within approximately 1 week of authorization and take
approximately 5 to 7 days to complete;
• Drilling in the water to begin within approximately 1 week of authorization (dependent
upon barge availability) and take approximately 7 days to complete;
• Results of geotechnical analyses to be reported on interim basis as they become
available. A final report can be issued 2 to 3 weeks after completion of fieldwork.
Closing
We appreciate the opportunity to prepare this proposal for the City of Corpus Christi. For further

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: Dog Restraints
AGENDA ITEM:
DATE: May 4, 2001
A. Amending the City Code of Ordinances, City of Corpus Christi Chapter 6, Animal Control, Article
I in general, Section 6-2 Definitions and Article IV Care and Keeping of Animals by adding new
Section 6-39, Regarding the restraint of a dog by means of a tether; Providing for severance;
Providing for an effective date; and providing for publication.
B. Amending the City Code of Ordinances, City of Corpus Christi Chapter 53, Traffic, Article I in
general, by adding new Section 53-16, regarding the restraint of a dog in an unenclosed motor
vehicle; providing for severance; providing for an effective date; and providing for publication.
ISSUE: Animal Control staff receive a large number of complaints regarding dogs that are
tied up by a rope or chain on the owner's property. The dogs get tangled up while being
restrained and in many cases, cannot reach food, water, or shelter. This is a cruel and
inhumane treatment, which requires a lot of staff time to properly investigate. The Animal
Control Advisory Committee has met to discuss this issue and unanimously supports changes
to the ordinance prohibiting restraint by a rope or chain. Where a property owner does not
have a substantial, secure fence to enclose the yard to restrain the animal, a tethering system
would be required. The tether will be a rope, chain, or the like, suspended no more than seven
(7) feet from ground level from which the animal is securely fastened limiting its range of
movement without being tangled up. The tether must be at least ten (10) feet in length,
equipped with a swivel device at both ends, and attached to a pulley or trolley mounted on the
cable which is also at least ten (10) feet in length. This system allows the dog a good range of
motion within the required five (5) feet of the owner's property line. The tether will not weigh
more than 1/8 of the dog's body weight, be attached to a properly fitting harness or collar,
which is not of a choke type, be tangle -free, and be located to prevent entanglement with other
objects. The tether will allow the dog convenient access to food, water and shelter adequate
for protection from the elements.
Another issue brought up and discussed by the Animal Control Advisory Committee was the
total lack of restraint of dogs in unenclosed motor vehicles. Several of the members have
personally observed unrestrained animals desperately trying to maintain balance while being
tossed around at high speeds. On several occasions animals have fallen out sustaining injury
and creating a hazard to other motorists. The Animal Control Advisory Committee
unanimously recommends a tethering system by which the dog is fastened to an unenclosed
motor vehicle to limit the range of movement. The proposed ordinance change will require the
use of a tethering system while transporting the dog in an unenclosed vehicle, including but not
limited to convertibles, pickups and flatbed trucks. The animal may be transported
unrestrained if the vehicle has side and tail racks to a height of forty-six (46) inches or the
animal is confined inside a locked container or cage secured to the vehicle to prevent jostling
and to prevent the animal from being thrown from the vehicle. Should a tethering system be
required, the dog will be cross tethered by a minimum of two (2) tethers, with one tether each
being affixed to the opposite side of the vehicle and both tethers being attached to the collar or
harness of the dog to prevent the dog from being thrown, jumping, or falling from the vehicle.
Staff has discussed this matter with the Corpus Christi Police Department and has gained full
support for future traffic enforcement.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of the ordinance changes.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends, upon the unanimous approval of the Animal
Control Advisory Committee that the ordinance changes be approved to support more humane
treatment of dogs and promote public safety.
