<br />• <br />Interoffice <br />~ MEMORANDUM <br />Subject: City of LaPorte <br /> <br />Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation <br />Date/Time: June ~'6, 1983, 11:00 a.m. <br />Place: Texas Department of Water Resources (TDWR) Offices <br />Participants: Emory Long - <br />Don Nelson - <br />Becky Motal <br />Jack Owens - <br />Jerry Hodge <br />Neil Bishop <br />Min Chu - TC <br />Frank. Marino <br />TDWR <br />TDWR <br />- TDtn~R <br />City of LaPorte <br />- City of LaPorte <br />- TC&B <br />&B <br />- TC&B <br />Discussion: <br />• 1. The TDWR did not see any problem with the City of LaPorte <br />issuing separate contracts for cleaning and television <br />inspection of the sewers in the rehabilitation project <br />or for emergency repairs to the Catlett Lane sewer. <br />2. The EPA award amount will not be increased because of <br />any of the extenuating circumstances of the LaPorte <br />project. There is approximately $166,000 remaining in <br />the grant. <br />• <br />3. The TDWR stated that as long as remaining items for the <br />rehabilitation project had eligible cost equal to the <br />remaining .grant, the City of LaPorte could receive all <br />remaining grant money. The estimate of remaining eligible <br />cost for the project is over a half million dollars. <br />4. The effects of separate contracts for the project on bonding <br />is not the concern of the EPA or TDWR. The City of:LaPorte <br />should have its lawyer review the effects of separate con- <br />tracts on bonding. <br />5. Since LaPorte has a population less than 25,000, the appli- <br />cable 1978 procurement regulations provide the City of <br />LaPorte the option to negotiate directly for a new engineer. <br />TurnerCollie~Br~den Inc. <br />
