George Watkins, in conjunction with The La Porte Rotary Club, once again hosted an
impressive and very successful Fourth of July Parade. This annual tradition has grown
throughout the years and this year, awards were given to the best floats.
Over 16 floats competed,

3rd Place First Assembly of God/White Team - .
Most Original Float went to the First Assembly of God/Red Team- .
We hope to see these floats back next year, even bigger and better!
We also give heartfelt thanks to George Watkins, who has invested so much of his personal
th
time and effort into making the July 4 Parade something the citizens of La Porte are very
proud of. Thank you, George, and thanks to everyone in connection with the event. It is
something we look forward to every year, and are very proud to have in our City.
LPPD K-9 Lodka Retirement
Lodka, a Belgian Malinois, joined the ranks of the LPPD in 2009. Since then, the K-9 team
quantities of both narcotics and their cash-related proceeds. Over the last seven years, the
duo has also competed exceptionally in several State and regional drug-dog competitions,
competition. Lodka and Arenivas consistently placed in the top 10 of all K-9 teams
st
represented at the annual NNDDA training conferences, with a 1 place national win in
2010.
While the police department would love to have the team remain active indefinitely, Lodka,
now 10 years old, will now live with Arenivas as a retiree. In April of 2013, Lodka was
diagnosed with a degenerative arthritic condition in the right elbow, as well as both hip
joints. Lodka was allowed to continue her K-9 duties, but was restricted to drug interdiction
and barred from activities involving running, such as suspect tracking. At the time the
years. With the assistance of specialized treatment and medication, the prediction of a 2-
year remaining work life was extended an additional year.
Although Lodka remains of major value to her partner Arenivas, fighting crime is no longer
feasible for the canine. As such, the City has officially retired Lodka and the Arenivas
residence will serve s hardest workers
in history.
Both the La Porte Police Department and her entire community are in debt to Lodka.
Please join me in congratulating Lodka on her retirement and thanking the K-9 Team of
Lodka and Arenivas for their many years of dedicated service.

INTRODUCTION
TWE understands the importance of this project to your company and the special needs associated with
construction of a project of this type. Of particular importance is for the overall project team to be comprised of
experienced professionals working together toward a common objective. This objective is to obtain a quality
project, meeting the intent of the project specifications, as well as completion on schedule and within budget.
From our laboratory facility, we will provide experienced engineering technicians to perform the on-site testing
and inspection services. Additionally, we meet the requirements of ASTM E-
and Testing Agencies for Concrete, Steel and Bitu
of the testing laboratory.
WORK PLAN
Senior Professional Engineers, experienced in their respective disciplines. Our assigned Project Manager will
provide communication, service direction, and overall project coordination. It is presumed that the contractor and
ready-mixed concrete producer will be encouraged to provide their own formalized quality control program
separate and apart from our acceptance inspection/testing program stated herein.
We anticipate providing the majority of the required testing services for this particular project on a Call-Out
basis. The anticipated services required on this project are as follows:
A. In-Place Soil Compaction (nuclear method)
B. Cast In-Place Concrete Inspection/Testing
All reports of materials tests and inspection services provided will be issued to appropriate members of the project
team. In the event individual reports indicate potential problems or items of non-conformance to the project
specifications, you will be contacted as soon as possible.

COST ESTIMATE & GENERAL NOTES
In this section of the proposal you will find our cost estimate. Additional services or tests requested and not
specifically addressed in Section III of this proposal will be invoiced per the standard fees set forth in our 2016 Fee
Schedule.
Based on information provided to us at this time and an estimated construction schedule, we have established
what we believe is the most realistic cost estimate for this project. Please remember that the units stated are only
an estimate. Due to factors beyond our control such as weather, unforeseen conditions, subcontractor expertise,
subcontractor scheduling, etc., the cost of our services may vary from the estimated amount.
We estimate the cost of the construction materials testing for our proposed Scope of Services will be $6,455.00 as
detailed in the following section, although all services will be invoiced on a time and materials basis.
A minimum 4-hour labor equivalent charge is applicable for all field testing and inspection services. Overtime rates
for field personnel are applicable for all hours worked in excess of 8 hours per day, weekends, and holidays and are
assessed at 1.5 times the standard rates. All field hours will be charged portal to portal from our laboratory
facility. All sample pick-ups will be charged travel time from portal to portal and will include associated vehicle
charges. Engineering consultation and evaluation in connection with any laboratory testing service will be charged
at a rate of approximately one hour for each 20 hours of field work performed.
Our prices include copies of the reports distributed via e-mail in accordance with your instructions. Additional
copies can be mailed at $0.50 per page. Direct expenses incurred in connection with the project will be invoiced at
cost plus 15% for handling. Travel and lodging expenses for out of town assignments will be invoiced at cost plus
15% or $150.00 per day, whichever is greater. Our terms are net 30 days upon receipt of invoice. Invoices will be
submitted on a monthly basis.

City of La Porte, Texas
HEAD START FACILITY EXISTING
TRAFFIC & STORAGE CONDITIONS
BACKGROUND:
st
The Head Start Program, a Division of Harris County Education, is located on 1Street in
La Porte (See Exhibit 1). The school incorporated a breakfast program for the children
that are enrolled in the school a few years ago and recently promoted it in hopes of
increasing enrollment. The school did experience an increase in enrollment and as a result
have experienced issues with traffic congestion during the morning and afternoon drop-
off times. The school requires the children to be signed in and out, thus requiring parents or
designated individuals to park and drop-off/pick-up the children. The current facility parking
onsite capacity is inadequate to accommodate the number of vehicles that travel to and
st
from the facility, so the number of vehicles that park on 1Street and H Street has
increased.
1st Street is a narrow two-way street that is mostly open ditch roadway with no shoulder.
When a vehicle parks on a narrow street, the two-way movement is very limited which causes
congestion issues that needs to be mitigated to improve traffic functionality and pedestrian
safety.
Head Start reached out to city staff requesting assistance with traffic congestion. City staff has
investigated the site and determined that some interim measures would help, but would not
solve the parking and pedestrian conflict concerns. City staff implemented the following
measures:
School Zone
Temporary One Way
No Parking Zone
Before taking additional measures city staff believed it necessary to do a traffic analysis to
determine what other measures should be implemented to improve traffic flow & reduce
pedestrian/vehicle conflicts.
CONSIDERATIONS:
1 - ONE WAY STREET CONVERSION
Converting two-way streets to one-way streets can help reduce cut-through traffic when there
is a dominant direction in traffic flow and improve pedestrian safety.
ADVANTAGES
Reduces high volume of non-local traffic that uses the street as a shortcut
Improves safety by creating more travel space for vehicles and pedestrians so they
don’t have to share space
Simplifies the traffic pattern in one direction to improve safety for very
young pedestrians
Increased street space per lane may create less need for new pedestrian sidewalk
facilities
DISADVANTAGES
Residents may be inconvenienced by the one-way flow
The cut-through traffic may be diverted to parallel streets
Drivers unfamiliar with the conversion may disregard the one-way sign and drive
into oncoming traffic
Existing property owners and uses may change over time that diminishes the
usefulness of the one-way conversion (Head Start Facility moves out, new property
owners with conflicting needs move in, etc.)
ELIGIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS
Review and consideration by the City Police and Fire Departments
The city should seek a high approval percentage from adjacent property
owners (90% or as agreed by city officials)
Review and consideration by City Council
2 - MAINTAIN EXISTING TWO WAY STREET TRAFFIC PATTERN
Two way streets provide residents with more access to and from the facilities adjacent to
the street.
ADVANTAGES
Maintains a familiar traffic pattern for drivers
Maintains the highest accessibility and convenience for all residents
DISADVANTAGES
Drivers have less space to maneuver
Difficult to provide safe pedestrian routes due to more space occupied by vehicles
Pedestrian safety may be lessened with young distracted pedestrians being forced
to navigate across vehicular traffic from two directions
Cut through traffic is more likely which will increase congestion
Traffic moves slower on a narrow street with movements in two directions
More pedestrian sidewalk accommodations may be required since there is less
street space per driving lane
ELIGIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS
None - Existing conditions
3-ADDITIONAL PARKING
Additional storage/parking capacity should be looked at in either of the two considerations
above. Approximately fifty-six potential off-street parking spots have been identified (See
Exhibit 1 & 2) which could dramatically improve the safety and congestion issues related to
the Head Start Facility. It appears that the additional fifty-six parking spots would likely more
than double the existing parking accommodations currently offered by the facility. However,
it appears that 19 new parking spaces are adjacent to private property which will also
need to be taken into consideration (See Exhibit 3-Parcel Map).
4-PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY
Interactions of pedestrians with traffic are a major consideration in street and sidewalk planning
and design. The vehicular traffic in congested city areas can make it difficult to provide adequate
accommodations for pedestrians. Yet provisions should be made, because pedestrians are the
lifeblood of the city’s commercial areas. In general, the most successful commercial areas are
those that provide the most comfort and pleasure for pedestrians. Pedestrian facilities include
sidewalks, crosswalks, traffic control features, and ramps for persons with mobility impairments.
A pedestrian’s age is an important factor that may explain behavior that leads to collisions
between motor vehicles and pedestrians. Very young pedestrians are often careless in traffic
from either ignorance or exuberance, whereas older pedestrians are more sensitive to their
surroundings. Pedestrian collisions can also be related to the lack of sidewalks, which may force
pedestrians to share the traveled way with motorists.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Finding a solution to the traffic congestion and pedestrian safety concerns in an area where
there is limited space for vehicular and pedestrian interaction is always difficult. However,
there are ways to balance this with solutions that would help alleviate the concerns and
mitigate traffic congestion. To address the considerations taken into account with this
analysis, the following options are recommended:
1.Create parking improvements that satisfy the existing parking needs and provide adequate
pedestrian facilities (sidewalks and traffic control markings) to provide safe access to the
site. Since the City has already reached out to the Head Start Program group to initiate a
partnership in the improvements, this option rates as a higher preference because the
preliminary notion is that there would be little to no cost to the City for providing the
improvements. . The preliminary cost estimate for the parking improvements is
approximately $160,000 (See Attachment A).
st
2.Create a One-Way section on 1 Street between Fairmont Parkway and H Street in the
northbound direction. Direct costs to the City would be signage and pavement markings.
Indirect costs would require police patrol to ensure compliance with the implementation.
3. Maintain the existing two-way street condition. Status Quo – no added
costs
However, the best option is to create satisfactory parking and pedestrian access
improvements to meet the facility needs in conjunction with a one-way street conversion
which will reduce high volume of non-local traffic, improve safety by creating more travel
space, and simplify the traffic pattern to improve safety for young pedestrians.
