ISSUE: Project Safe Neighborhood grant funding has been awarded to continue the Save Our Streets campaign. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Corpus Christi Police Department in conjunction with the Corpus Christi Crime Stoppers Association has continued the Save Our Streets campaign which began with PSN funds in 2007.

The goal of the grant is to continue a proactive law enforcement initiative designed to target gun violence by offering the citizens of Corpus Christi a new avenue to report firearm related problems and thereby provide law enforcement with information not readily available. FUNDING: The State provides $19,000 to support the advertising campaign for the Save our Streets campaign. There is no cash match.

ISSUES: Appropriation of the contributions for the RTA Special Projects Program is necessary before any expenditure of the funds can occur. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the ordinance as presented. Pete Anaya, Director — Engineering Services 361 -826 -3781 petea n Cad cctexas . com Attachments: Exhibit A - Additional Information Exhibit B — Notification of Additional Funding H:I HOMEIKEVIN51GENIRTA120101ApproOrdMemo .doc —35— ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BACKGROUND: RTA provides funding for general purpose street improvements and RTA special projects. The general purpose street improvement program funds are appropriated in the General Fund as part of the annual budget process. The amount of general purpose street improvement funds the RTA is providing for CY2010 is $1,082,656.00. The RTA special project funds are appropriated into the Street CIP Fund to ensure expenditures are made for RTA projects and the funds do not fall to the fund balance at the end of the fiscal year. The funding level is set each year by the negotiation between the City Manager and RTA Executive Director. The RTA is providing $500,000.00 for RTA special projects for CY2010. RTA had previously made $500,000.00 available for the RTA CY2009 special projects, but had verbally notified the City that they would not proceed with any 2009 special projects. Therefore, the funds were not appropriated at the time. RTA has informed the City that it wishes to now proceed with RTA special projects utilizing the 2009 special projects funds. Both the 2009 and 2010 proceeds must be appropriated to allow their expenditures on the projects selected by the RTA. AGREEMENTS: The format of the current agreement with the Street Improvement Fund began in 1999. The City and RTA operated under a 1985 agreement until 1991. The 1985 agreement provided for the RTA to pay the City an amount for certain transportation- related purposes. The amount paid was adjusted by the inflation rate each year. During December, 1991, the RTA Board established two funds to benefit all cities in the RTA service area. The 1991 Street Improvement Fund continued the payment for certain transportation - related purposes. The proceeds of the second fund (Transportation Assistance Fund) were used by the City of Corpus Christi to defray the cost of Emergency Medical transportation until 1999. AGREEMENT SUMMARY: The 1985 agreement was not terminated by the current inter -local agreement. The 1985 inter -local agreement remains in full force and effect should the current inter- local agreement not be renewed in the future. The agreement allows both the RTA and City to identify particular projects being funded through the Program well in advance, and enable the RTA to increase the overall amount available for the new Street Improvement Fund as part of its operating budget. The RTA General Manager and City Manager work together each year to develop a final list of projects to be funded by the RTA. RTA allocates a percentage of its sales tax receipts to fund the new Street Improvement Program. Other major points of the agreement are: • the RTA and City may enter into other agreements for street improvements or other transportation related projects of mutual interest outside the terms of this inter -local agreement; • the RTA may directly pay the City, reimburse the City, or to directly contract for project depending on whichever alternative is deemed most convenient or efficient; Exhibit A Page 1 of 2 -36- • the City will report to RTA within ninety (90) days following the end of each year of the agreement a brief report of funds received, fund expended for each project, and the status of any project not completed; • the term of the agreement is for one year, and is subject to automatic renewal; and • termination of the agreement is subject to notification to the other party ninety (90) days in advance of termination.

Stevens Water Treatment Plant Raw Water Influent Improvements (Project No. 86431 CIP No. WAWS 02) AGENDA ITEM: Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an Agreement for Geotechnical. Engineering Testing Services with Rock Engineering and Testing Laboratory, Inc. of Corpus Christi, Texas in the amount of $133,945.00 for O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant Raw Water Influent Improvements. (Water Supply CIP FY 2010) ISSUE: The O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant has hydraulic anomalies in the existing piping configuration that limit the hydraulic capacity of the plant to less than the treatment capacity of the plant. The most critical areas are located between the raw water junction box and the sedimentation basins. In addition to the hydraulic restrictions posed by the existing piping, the piping also makes it difficult to split incoming water flow between the two treatment trains. This project proposes to eliminate all constrictions the front end piping and allow a passive flow split between the two treatment trains. The proposed testing contract is to evaluate the soil and groundwater conditions at the site and to recommend types and depths of foundation and pavement systems suitable for the proposed project. The scope of the exploration and analysis will include the subsurface investigation, field and laboratory testing, engineering analysis and evaluation of the subsurface soils and foundation and pavement recommendations. The exploration and analysis of the subsurface conditions will be utilized to form a reasonable basis for the foundation and pavement designs. FUNDING: Funding is available from the Water Supply Capital Improvement Budget FY 2010. :_,3• JP JTO,41-. Gust- • Gonzalez, P.E.

Stevens Water Treatment Plant Raw Water Influent Improvements (Project No. 86431 CIP No. WAWS 02) GEOTECHNICAL TESTING CONTRACT DESCRIPTION: The proposed testing agreement is with Rock Engineering and Testing Laboratory, Inc. (RETL) of Corpus Christi in the amount of $133,945. The contract consists of the following: D Subsurface Field Investigation $112,080.00 • Laboratory Testing Program $11,720.00 • Geotechnical Engineering Review and Report $10,145.00 TOTAL: $133,945.00 The subsurface field investigation, to evaluate the engineering characteristics of the foundation bearing materials, will include reconnaissance of the project site, performing the test boring operations and obtaining disturbed split spoon soil samples and relatively undisturbed Shelby tube samples. Fourteen borings will be performed to maximum termination depths of 55 -feet within the O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant project site. In addition to the field investigation, a laboratory testing program will be conducted to determine additional pertinent engineering characteristics of the subsurface materials necessary in analyzing the behavior of the foundation and pavement systems for the proposed project. The laboratory testing program will include supplementary visual classification and water content tests on all samples. In addition, selected samples will be subjected to Atterberg limits tests, percent material finer than the #200 sieve, unconfined comprehensive strength tests and 1 -D Swell Potential. Upon completion of the drilling and laboratory testing, RETL will prepare a Geotechnical Engineering Report which will include foundation and pavement recommendations and various construction considerations /site improvement methods. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A hydraulic analysis has identified several bottlenecks which restrict flow to about 159 MGD ahead of the sedimentation basins and 133 MGD into the pre - sedimentation basin. This project will consist of hydraulic improvements at the raw water influent to increase the plant flow rate from 159 MGD to 200 MGD and increase the security and serviceability of the plant. The ONSWTP is currently rated at a treatment capacity of 167 MGD and is capable of being rated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to 200 MGD. Improvements will also be made to the pre - sedimentation basin allowing the entire plant flow to receive pre- setting and blending of the raw river water and lake sources. These improvements will enhance the performance of the treatment plant and increase the hydraulic capacity by 67 MGD. These improvements are also required for the chemical feed improvements, which will allow for more precise control of chemical dosing, resulting in substantial cost savings. The raw water influent improvements will allow for 100% blending of source waters for uniform treatment and increases in process efficiency, which will improve the quality of the finished water.

For materials inspection and testing, the firm must have available in- house equipment and employ qualified certified staff necessary to perform the work. Specifically for asphaltic concrete testing (which includes testing of asphaltic concrete material, base and subgrade), the firm must employ one professional engineer locally with a minimum of three years of experience in testing roadway construction materials and a minimum of one person locally with the proper Hot Mix Asphalt Specialist Certification (Level 1A minimum). As part of this requirement, the City has given each local geotechnical consulting firm 6 months from March 2010 to meet the local engineer and accreditation requirement. Rock Engineering and Testing Laboratory, Inc. meets the requirements. PROJECT BACKGROUND: The O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant is an aging facility that requires strategic capital improvement projects to enhance the operational readiness, code compliance, and implementation of new and improved technologies and processes. This project was identified in the City's Capital Improvement Plan to address the current hydraulic bottleneck that limits total plant capacity to 159 MGD (or less). FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of a construction contract to complete the project is required. This geotechnical testing agreement does not include construction materials testing. Approval of a construction materials testing agreement is required and will be addressed in the future with a separate contract. -47 — H:IHOME1KelIyO1GENIWATERIO.N.

REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of Planning Commission and Staffs Recommendation. STAFF SUMMARY: Background: By adoption of Ordinance 028283 in August 2009, with and effective annexation date of September 1, 2009, the City corrected a long standing boundary issue along the south shoreline of Nueces Bay. Originally, when the water along the shoreline was annexed in 1950 and 1969, the annexation ordinances described a shoreline as of the date of annexation. Over time, as the shoreline eroded, the city limit line moved away from the shoreline. The 2009 annexation ordinance changed the boundary description of the shoreline so that overtime the city boundary will remain on the physical shoreline. The 2009 Ordinance is also beneficial to clearly establishing the limits of Industrial District No. 1 as all of the land for industrial development in the district is now clearly bounded by the physical shoreline. Request: The City of Corpus Christi is requesting zoning to the "R-1B" One - family Dwelling District. Existing Land Uses: Water District (Submerged Land). Existing Zoning: No current zoning exists. Requested Zoning: The subject property is proposed to be zoned "R -1 B" One - family Dwelling District. The "R-1B" One - family Dwelling District allows for single family residential uses, churches, public and non - profit private schools, and water uses.

City Council Zoning Report Case #:0610 -05, City of Corpus Christi Page 2 • Request: The City of Corpus Christi is requesting zoning to the "R-1B" One - Family Dwelling District to adjust the discrepancy of the City limit line along the shoreline of Nueces Bay • Existing Land Uses: Water District (Submerged Land). • Existing Zoning: No current zoning exists. • Requested Zoning: The subject property is proposed to be zoned "R -1B" One- family Dwelling District. The "R -1B" One - Family Dwelling District allows for single family residential uses, churches, public and non -profit private schools, and water uses. • Background Information: Port of Corpus Christi and City Staff discovered several boundary issues or corrections that were corrected along the south shoreline of Nueces Bay between city limits and Industrial District No. 1. The annexation and disannexation corrected the south Nueces Bay Shoreline to become the city limit line. The 1950 and 1969 annexation ordinances along the south shoreline of Nueces Bay did not account for accretion and erosion of the shoreline. The 1950 annexation ordinance was based on a fixed boundary line across water and land areas. Shoreline areas not included in the 1950 annexation were annexed in 1969 with an annexation ordinance that specifically annexed the "present" shoreline. Both of these annexation ordinances created fixed boundaries that have since changed over time. Essentially, annexation and disannexation places water areas or submerged lands inside city limits and land for development in Industrial District No. 1. Several areas along the shoreline have eroded since the 1950 and 1969 annexations. These submerged lands, totaling 6.635 acres, were annexed by Ordinance 028283 with an effective date of September 1, 2009. • Comprehensive Plan Consistency: The adopted Future Land Use Plan designates the subject property for water uses; therefore, the proposed "R-1B" One - family Dwelling District is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Plat Status: The subject property is not platted. Planning Commission and Staff Recommendation: Planning Commission and Staff recommended approval of the Applicant's request to designate newly annexed submerged land along the south shoreline of Nueces Bay to the "R-1B" One - family Dwelling District consistent with annexation Ordinance 028283.

Case No. 0610 -05 City of Corpus Christi: To consider zoning the recently annexed properties to the "R -1B" One - family Dwelling District The property to be zoned is approximately 5 tracts, totaling approximately 6.635 acres, of submerged land owned by the Port of Corpus Christi Authority, along the southern shoreline of Nueces Bay Mr. Dimas presented New Zoning item "c ", Case No. 0610 -05, stating the City is requested the zoning of 5 submerged tracts as part of the annexation process to the "R -1B" One - family Dwelling District. Mr. Dimas stated the "R -1B" District provides for single family residential uses and public uses with a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet, a 25 foot setback from street frontage, a density of 7.26 units per acre and a minimum lot width of 50 feet. Mr. Dimas stated staff recommends approval. In response to Commissioner Tamez, Mrs. Goode Macon stated the Commission's previous direction regarding submerged lands has been to zone to the "R -1B" One - family Dwelling District. In response to Commissioner Skrobarczyk, Mrs. Goode Macon stated common zoning practice is to downsize previously submerged land to keep the land in a holding pattern until a time when there are definite plans for the land and a change of zoning can take place. In response to Commissioner Skrobarczyk, Mr. Dimas stated the City acquired the lands through accretion and these lands fall within the City limits.

The existing station currently processes approximately 50 persons per hour through Customs and Border Protection. The renovated facility will allow the processing of between 200 and 250 persons per hour. This is being achieved by: • Increasing the number of processing stations; • Increasing the size of the Arrivals Primary Processing Area; • Improving the baggage claim facilities; and • Increasing the size of the secondary bag screening area. GRANT: The City has received an offer for FAA Grant # 3- 48- 0051 -46 -2010 in the amount of $2,802,051 for the rehabilitation of the Terminal Building to allow the re- configuration of the FIS Facility This grant will fund 95% of the project(s) cost with the Airport providing the 5% match. Appropriation of the grant proceeds is necessary to proceed with the project. BID STRUCTURE: The project was bid as a base bid with five additive alternates consisting of the: • Base Bid; • Additive Alternate No, 1 — two color tile pattern in lieu of one color tile; • Additive Alternate No. 2 — curvilinear acoustical ceiling pattern; • Additive Alternate No. 3 - wall art and acrylic panes at baggage claim area; • Additive Alternate No. 4 — perforated metal panels in two corridors; and • Additive Alternate No. 5 — mosaic tile wall art at curved exit corridor. BID INFORMATION: Bids from five (5) firms were received, and publicly opened on Wednesday, August 11, 2010. The total of the base bids ranged between $2,999,700.00 and $3,473,040.00. The bids for the Base Bid with Alternates 1 through 5 ranged from $2,967.535.00 to $3,581,061.00. The consultant's opinion of probable cost was $2,967,535.00. See Exhibit B. The two apparent low bids (base bid only) were submitted by Teal Construction, Inc. of Corpus Christi, Texas and FultonlCoastcon, Joint Venture of Corpus Christi, Texas. During the bid review process, both firms withdrew their bids due to a material error in the failure to include the required security and closed circuit television systems. Bidders are permitted by Texas Common Law to withdraw their bids in the event of a material Exhibit A nn _ Page 1 of 2 11: 1H NI DMMICEVINSIGEAIR_ restored120091mprovements1E0912 minalRehabilitation &RMAwdConstrBkgExhA.doc error. The next low bidder, KJM Commercial of Corpus Christi, failed to sign their proposal, which makes the proposal non-responsive, and does not represent a bona - fide offer. The number four proposal by Barcom Commercial, Inc. of Corpus Christi, Texas was determined to be complete and qualified. The FAA found their price proposal to be acceptable and has requested the City to expedite the award of the contract. FAA will provide 95% of the funding for the project. FUNDING: Funds are available from FAA Grants and Aviation Capital Reserve CIP funds. The grant process is complete, but the funds must be appropriated by Council. The project budget is attached. See Exhibit C. TIME OF COMPLETION: The contract provides for the work to be complete within 180 calendar days of notice to proceed. BOARD /COMMITTEE REVIEW: The Airport Board has reviewed the item and recommends approval. RECOMMENDATION: Aviation, Engineering and the project consultant have reviewed the bids and recommend award of the Base Bid to Barcom Commercial, Inc. of Corpus Christi. They are an established local contractor that has been in business for many years and successfully completed many commercial and City projects. FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: A proposal for the required engineering materials inspection, testing and laboratory services contract is in preparation. Council will be requested to authorize the execution of the contract if required. Council will be requested to authorize any change orders as may be required.
