In the summer of 2018, Kayla Baez worked with our Parks and Rec team as a part time
Senior Recreation Leader. We were very fortunate to add her to the team full time in October
of that year, and we are very pleased to honor her this evening as our Employee of the Quarter.
In her role as a Recreation Specialist, Kayla wears many hats. Her main responsibility is
planning and delivering camp and other programming over the summer and holiday seasons.
This includes program development, marketing, registration administration, staff oversight, and
all of the other countless details that go into providing camps and programs to the community.
nd
Typically Kayla spends the bulk of the 2 quarter preparing for and running two Summer
camps (Breeze and Voyage). This task was uniquely complicated this year due to COVID-19.
Some of the specific innovations and extra steps Kayla took this year include:
Created 10 weeks of LP Rec At Home activities that were shared via social media. These
activities were well received by the community, looking for ways to stay engaged and
active during the pandemic.
COVID-19 meant no field trips for the camps. Kayla had to adjust schedules on the fly and
maintain communication with campers and parents. She reallocated field trip funds
towards other resources and equipment like individualized camper art supplies to keep
the kids entertained and safe.
Kayla created a safe and secure non-entry check-in/check-out process called KidCheck.
This process allowed parents to remain in their vehicles for drop off and pick up which
reduced groups gathering in the building.
She also implemented new training and sanitization process for all summer camp staff.
Even with the unexpected and complex challenges of leading summer camps this year,
Kayla maintained her typical positive attitude. Her camp staff love working with her and campers
experience. Described by her supervisor as driven, extremely creative, and unsatisfied with the
status quo, Kayla is a fantastic asset to the Parks and Rec department and the La Porte
community. Please join me in congratulating her as our Employee of the Quarter.

SUMMARY
Bids were opened on Thursday, June 25, 2020 for Bid #20019 - Roseberry Cure In
Place Pipe Sewer Rehabilitation project. The general scope of work consists of
rehabilitating approximately 1042 feet of deteriorating vitrified clay pipe sanitary
sewer pipe. There were fifty-seven (57) bidders notified of the bid opportunity, with
thirty-two (32) accessing the bid and five (5) bidders responding.
The low bid was submitted by Insituform Technologies, LLC in the amount of $78,950.00.
This bid is secured by a bid bond. Staff recommends approval of this bid with an added
project contingency of $7,895.00 (10%) for a total authorization of $86,845.00.
Benefits:
Rehabilitation of the aging sanitary sewer main will eliminate future leaks and
potential pipe failure. Structural pipe integrity will be improved by a Cure in
Place process. A resin-coated tube is inserted and once cured, strengthens the
host pipe. A cure-in-place trenchless process is chosen for this rehabilitation due
to the depth of the sewer line.
Liabilities:
The potential for pipe failure will likely increase if work is deferred for an extended
period of time.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
I move to award Bid #20019to Insituform Technologies, LLC and authorize the
City Manager to execute a contract with Insituform Technologies, LLC in the
amount of $78,950.00, and approve a project contingency of $7,850.00,for a total

SUMMARY
The City of La Porte entered into an agreement with Harris County on December 9,
2019, awarding the City of La Porte $3,472,757.00 for the Northside Neighborhood
Drainage Improvements Project. The award is funded through the Texas General Land
Program (CDBG-DR). The entirety of this grant award will be utilized towards
construction costs for the Northside Neighborhood Drainage Improvements Project,
which will be completed in phases to maximize awarded grant funds. Also, this project
was awarded $325,775.30 as part of 2015 CDBG-DR Program. Prior to receiving
notification of grant award, this project was funded within the fiscal year 2016-17
budget. The FY 2016-17 budgeted amount will be utilized to cover engineering related
costs.
The Request for Qualifications #19601 for Engineering Services for Grant Projects was
advertised on October 25, 2018, with a closing date of November 20, 2018. A total of
seventeen (17) firms submitted responses. The top four (4) firms, 5Engineering, LLC,
AECOM Technical Services Inc., Halff Associates, Inc., and Lockwood Andrews &
Newnam, Inc. were short-listed by the evaluation committee and are considered to be
the most qualified respondents for drainage related grant projects. At the July 8, 2019
City Council meeting, Council authorized the City Manager to execute a contract with
Lockwood Andrews & Newnam, Inc. (LAN) to provide preliminary engineering services
for the Northside Neighborhood Drainage Improvement Project.
The goal of the Northside Neighborhood Drainage Improvement Project is to improve
the functionality of the storm sewer system and increase the level of service in the
region. Lockwood, Andrews, & Newnam, Inc. prepared a preliminary engineering report
which evaluated design options and determined the most efficient flood reduction
approach. The preliminary engineering report was finalized on March 20, 2020,
providing design recommendations for the Northside Neighborhood Drainage
Improvement Project. Realizing the potential delays associated with TXGLO and Harris
County procurement requirements, the City requested to move all funding into
construction and opted to pay for soft costs using budgeted City funds. Thus, all
awarded funding will be utilized to pay for construction phase services. The
Authorization to Proceed with Phase 1 design was approved at the June 8, 2020 City
Council meeting.
As recommended by LAN within the preliminary engineering report, this project will be
completed in phases. Phase 1 is anticipated to provide for the construction of an outfall
stru
sewer boxes for a total estimated Phase 1 cost of $312,000.00. Phase 2 will include
the construction of a detention facility, in addition to the
storm sewer boxes, for a total estimated cost of $3,060,000.00 of Phase 2
improvements. The $325,775.30 and $3,472,757.00 grant allocations will be utilize on
the construction of Phase 1 and Phase 2 improvements, respectively.
The preliminary engineering report also includes a recommendation for Phase 3 for
reinforced concrete storm sewer system to reroute flows further downstream in effort
to expand the benefit area. However, at an estimated cost of $5,360,000, supplemental
Phase 3 improvements exceed the current project budget.
Staff has negotiated the attached scope of work for engineering service with Lockwood,
Andrews, & Newnam, Inc. The proposal includes: basic services for engineering
design, bidding, and construction phase services in the amount of $258,865.00;
additional services of surveying, geotechnical investigation, and subsurface utility
engineering for $111,698.00; and optional additional environmental services for
$24,420.00; for a total project cost of $394,983.00. This project obtained several
environmental clearances as part of the grant application process, if the environmental
clearances are acceptable to the permitting entities during design, there is a potential
that the optional environmental services are not utilized.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
I move to authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services
agreement with Lockwood, Andrews, & Newnam, Inc.for the Northside
Neighborhood Drainage Improvement Project, for a total authorization of
$394,983.00.
Approved for the City Council meeting agenda

SUE Quality Level- D, B & A Investigation
Phase II
Dear Mr. Barton:
RODS Subsurface Utility Engineering (RODS SUE) is pleased to submit this proposal for Subsurface Utility
Engineering services for the Northside Drainage Improvements project for the City of La Porte, Texas.
Scope & Limits
We understand the scope of work to consist of providing Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) Quality Level-D, B & A
services. This includes:
SUE Quality Level D (QL-D) involves performing utility research, including contacting the utility companies
to request the existing utility records, and drawing the information obtained into a utility base map.
SUE Quality Level B (QL-B) involves the designation, recording, and marking of the horizontal location of the
existing utility facilities using non-destructive surface geophysical techniques, per APWA color
standards. When data is reliable, cover shots indicating top of utility will be included at every 100 feet.
Limitations of designation include signal bleed over due to congested utilities or utilities made of non-
conductive material such as PVC or concrete. Survey of QL-B Utility Designation will be performed by
others. RODS SUE will perform final QA/QC of QL-B deliverable to incorporate information from QL-D
Records Research and ensure completeness & accuracy of surveyed data.
SUE Quality Level-A (QL-A) Test Holes: Excavation of 8 QL-A Test Holes via non-destructive vacuum
excavation. In order to perform the field work, the following will also be completed: contact Texas One
Call agency to notify of digging intent and perform on-site field inspection and designate the desired
utility to determine exact location. Air-vacuum excavation will be utilized to determine orientation, depth,
material and general condition of the intended utility. Survey of QL-A Test Holes location and elevation
will be performed by others.
Phase II is as depicted on Attachment-B Project Vicinity Map.
Schedule
Fieldwork will begin within 15 business days of notice to proceed and deliverables will be submitted within 7
business days of completed fieldwork.

A review of site maps and surveys provided to BIO-WEST on April 16, 2020(attached) indicates that any
proposed detention basinmay potentially impact either theordinary high water mark (OHWM) of Harris
County Flood Control District (HCFCD) Drainage Unit #F216-00-00 (Little Cedar Bayou), a potentially
perennialtributary, or other waters of the U.S., including wetlands in the project area, which may be subject
to regulation by the United States Army Corpsof Engineers (USACE) under the Clean Water Act (CWA).
For the purposes of this cost estimate, BIO-WEST assumes that the project site will be limited to allimpacts
directly related to one potential detention basin; therefore, BIO-WEST will assess up to threeacresfor one
detention basis siteto aid in siting and constructing the proposed outfall structure to comply with current
USACE guidelines.
For efficiency, BIO-WEST has included an optional subtask to delineate all 10 detention basin locations
(totaling 27 additionalacres) in order to assist the City and LAN in citing a detention basin location that
potentially avoids all permitting requirements.
SCOPE OF WORK
To facilitate the understanding of the proposedservices, the project has been divided into fourtasks:
Waters of the U.S. Delineation
Cultural Resource Desktop Assessment
Threatened and Endangered Species Assessment
Permitting and Coordination

Task 1: Waters of the U.S. Delineation
BIO-WEST proposes to evaluate one detention basin location (as directed by LAN and the City)for the
presence of potential jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including wetlands, and other waterbodies as defined
in Section 404 of the CWA and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA). Our evaluation will be
designed to identify the presence or absence of potentially jurisdictional waters of the U.S., document site
conditions, and where possible, provide guidance for avoidance of jurisdictional watersat one detention
basin location. Our methods will include:
Review of recent aerial photography and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute Topographic
Quadrangle maps of the property to evaluate the potential for waters of the U.S.
Review of Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) soil survey maps and hydric soils lists
Field reconnaissance of the property for identification of wetlands and other water bodies
Use of a Trimble® Global Positioning System (GPS) device with sub-meter accuracy to mark each
sampling location and the extent of any waters of the U.S., including wetland, within the proposed
property boundaries per USACE Galveston District Standards
Our delineation will identify and document the presence of waters of the U.S. and include a delineation of
these resources as specified in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Manual), the
2010 Regional Supplement to the USACE Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain
Region – Version 2.0 (Supplement), RegulatoryGuidance Letter 05-05– Ordinary High Water Mark
(OHWM) Identification, and other applicable industry guidance and standards. BIO-WEST will draft a
delineation report that includes the following:
Brief introduction, methodology, and results
BIO-WEST’s professional opinion regarding jurisdiction of any delineated features
A waters of the U.S. delineation map
A USGS topographic map
A Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) map
A National Wetland inventory (NWI) map
A Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) soil maps
Historical aerial photographs and topographic maps
Property photographs documenting site conditions
Geographic Information System (GIS)-based dataset for client’s use
All findings would be preliminary and would be based on BIO-WEST’s professional experience with
similar projects under similar circumstances. Only the USACE can make the final jurisdictional
determination of the property. This effort is not intended to act as a forensic or atypical delineation.
BIO-WEST will submit the delineation report to LANfor review and comment. Once comments are
incorporated, BIO-WEST will draft a final version for LAN. Once the report is complete and the dataset is
received by LAN, BIO-WEST will coordinate with LANduring one in-person meeting at LAN’s offices to
discuss the results and potential options.

Task 2: Cultural Resource Desktop Assessment
BIO-WEST will contract with a qualified archeological consulting firm to conduct a detailed cultural
resources background research and prepare documentation for compliance with Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act (NRHP) and Texas State Historic Preservation Office (SPHO) standardsfor the
entire 30-acre site that includes all 10 detention basin locations. All phases of this work will be supervised
by an archaeologist that meets Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for
Archeology as set forth in 36 CFR 61. Background research will include a file search at the Texas Historical
Commission (THC) and review of historic references, documents, and maps.
BIO-WESTand our subconsultantwill conduct a site file review and desktop-level geoarchaeological
assessment prior to any fieldwork mobilization in an effort to determine whether or not an archaeological
field/pedestrian survey is required for the project. BIO-WESTand our subconsultantwilltheprepare a
coordination letter with a background and literature review, a site file search, appropriate mapping, historic
aerial photographs, project plans, and relevant exhibits to support a recommendation that field survey not
be required. Upon approval by LAN, the coordination letter will be submitted to the THC. If the THC
concurs with this recommendation, no further cultural resources management consulting needs should be
required for the project unless design changes warrant additional assessment, saving time and budget.
If the THC determines that pedestrian surveys are required, BIO-WEST can complete this scope of work
under a separate cost proposal.
Task 3: Threatened and Endangered Species Assessment
BIO-WEST will assessthe entire 30-acre site that includes all 10 detention basin locationswith regard to
T&E species and their potential habitat. BIO-WEST will provide effects determinations for both state and
federally-listed species based on background research, including, but not limited to, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Conservation (IPaC) tool, USFWS Environmental
Conservation Online System (ECOS) mapper, and Texas Parks and Wildlife (TPWD) Natural Diversity
Database (NDD). BIO-WEST will also assess and provide recommendations with regard to the Bald and
Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA), the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), and Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation. Representative photographs will be taken to document existing T&E habitats within
the project area.
Based on BIO-WEST’s extensive experience, existing relationships with regional TPWD and USFWS staff,
and past experience with similar projects on similar landscapes, it is our opinion that the property has an
extremely low probability of affected federally or state-listed threatened or endangered species. BIO-WEST
proposes informal, verbal coordination with USFWS and/orTPWD, only if required based on the results
of field surveys.If formal consultations, a Biological Assessment (BA), and/or Biological Opinion (BO)
are required from the USFWS, BIO-WEST can provide this scope under a separate proposal and cost
estimate.

Task 4: USACE Permitting
Based on project descriptions as of the date of this proposal, the project may fall under aNationwide Permit
(NWP). BIO-WEST proposes to draft a permit application pursuant of USACE guidelines and Section 404
of the CWA and Section 10 of the RHA for all proposed impacts to potentially jurisdictional waters of the
U.S., including wetlands. If the project impacts are below certain impact thresholds, the project can be
permitted under anNWP.
BIO-WEST will prepare a permit application for submittal to the USACE. Prior to preparing the
application, BIO-WEST will coordinate with LAN to obtain all engineering information in order to create
figures depicting proposed layouts and impacts. BIO-WEST cannot complete the permit application
without this information. Anticipated timelines for the completion of the project are contingent on project
plans and engineering drawings being relayed to BIO-WEST in a timely manner. BIO-WEST will utilize
ENG Form 6082 and attach the following to the permit application:
Applicant and Applicant’s Agent Name and Contact Information
Detailed Project Description
Detailed Project Location Information
Detailed Description of Proposed Impacts
Request for an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD)
Threatened and Endangered Species Assessment
Cultural Resources Assessments
Figures and Exhibits Depicting All Proposed Impacts
Once the permit application is complete, BIO-WEST will forward an electronic copy to LAN and the end
client for review and comment. Following incorporation of comments, BIO-WEST will submit a completed
application to the USACE for review. BIO-WEST understands that LAN will be named an additional agent.
BIO-WEST will act as the primary agent and advocate for the end client throughout the permitting process
and keep LAN “in the loop” during all coordination with the USACE.
BIO-WEST will coordinate the application through the permitting process. While BIO-WEST cannot
guarantee approval of theapplication, BIO-WEST will utilize its best professional judgement and the
standard and care utilized by similar companies completing similar work in the USACE Galveston District.
BIO-WEST maintains an excellent reputation with the USACE Galveston Districtand will utilize this
reputation to further each application to the desired outcome. The project permitting schedule will be based
on the following factors that are outside of BIO-WEST’s control:
Manpower and workload allocation at the USACE
Morale, leadership changes, or employee retention at the USACE
Force Majeure or other Acts of God
Financial, personnel, and/or political instabilities at the USACE
Should any of these factors influence the permit schedule, BIO-WEST will notify LAN in writing and
coordinate a plan of action. BIO-WEST shall not be held liable or at fault if any of these factors, or any
other factor outside of BIO-WEST’s direct control, adversely affects the project schedule.

This fixed fee cost includes allexpenses incurred by BIO-WEST during the performance of this scope of
work. Project costs will not exceed the proposed budget without prior approval from LAN. For project
budgeting purposes, BIO-WEST will bill LANmonthly for work completed prior to thebillingdate.
BIO-WEST can complete Tasks 1-3 of this scope of work within three weeks of receiving notice to proceed
and a signed work order.Task 4 of this scope of work will require an additional two weeksto complete.
The permitting timeline is at the discretion of the USACE Galveston District. BIO-WEST estimates that an
NWP will take approximately 3 to 6 monthsfor approval.
ASSUMPTIONS
This proposal was completed under the following assumptions:
BIO-WEST will utilize the project site exhibits provided via email by LANonApril 17, 2020.
Project site access will be provided during normal business hours.
No weather-related delay days areassumed. Any delays due to weather or lack of access may result
in additional mobilization costs or field days.
Ifanyresults and findings indicate the need for further study beyond the scope of work specifically
enumerated herein, BIO-WEST will notify LANof the conditions of concern and recommendations
for revised services, and additional costs and request a change order.
Since it includes field surveys, Task 1 is limited to one, three-acre detention site.
BIO-WEST has provided an optional subtask to delineate an additional 27 acres during the same
field survey effort to assist LAN and the City in citing a detention basin that potentially avoi
Tasks 2 and 3 do not include any field surveys.
Since they are desktop only level reviews, Tasks 2 and 3 includeup to 30 acres in the project area
to account for all 10 potential sites.
If the project description should change or be altered in such a way as to meet different permitting
requirements (Regional General Permit, Standard Individual Permit, etc.), BIO-WEST reserves the
right to alter this proposal as deemed necessary to meet the changing demands of the project.

To address the issues following three options were discussed with City of La Porte:
Option 1:
Thisis a low-cost, quickimprovement which includes the following:
Traffic calming measures in terms of speed humps or speed tables to reduce vehicular
speeds at multiple locations. This will eliminate some parking spots.
High visibility crosswalks (pavement markings) along with pedestrian crossing signs at
multiple designated locations. This will eliminate some parking spots.
Shrubs along the periphery of parking to discourage pedestrian crossing at random
locations.
Any other improvements in coordination with City
Option 2:
This is a mid-cost and may include some of the improvements from Option 1 and additionally
the following:
Review the option to change the parking lot to angular parking and if necessary,provide
guidance on additional parking lot
Adjustment of ADA parking spaces and ramps.
Install solar powered flashing beacons on pedestrian signs at cross walks
Option 3:
CONSOR team member Asakura Robinson will provide the items as mentioned in the following
scope. This is a high-cost improvement and CONSOR will manage the coordination with City of
La Porte and provide safety, feasibility, probable traffic concerns and general civil guidance for
this and the total fee includes this additional effort.
