Interlocal agreement with Harris County
SUMMARY
Pursuant to the Texas Transportation Code Ann. §545.3051, all vehicle tows where the vehicle owner
does not or will not give permission for the vehicle to be moved from the roadway (hereafter "freeway
non-consent tows") require a law enforcement agency to authorize the tows.
The Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) and Harris County, acting for the Harris County Sheriff's
Office (HCSO), entered into an interlocal agreement dated August 13, 2014, to (1) contribute funding to
HCSO Motorist Assist Program and (2) provide staffing to conduct freeway
the operations of the
surveillance at Houston TransStar.
The City of La Porte and Harris County wish to enter into this interlocal agreement so that HCSO
personnel may authorize freeway non-consent tows from certain freeways within the La Porte city limits
in Harris County, to include the main lanes, shoulders, exit ramps, entrance ramps, direct connectors,
and the County-managed lanes of the major freeways. Freeway frontage roads are not included in this
agreement.
The City will not incur any costs for this program and all invoices will be handled directly through the
HCSO and reimbursed by H-GAC.
The program will be administered by HCSO, at Transtar, through their Tow and Go Program. It is
designed make freeways safer and assist stranded motorists.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
Move to authorize the City Manager to enter into an interlocal agreement with Harris County
for freeway non-consent tows.

About
What is Tow and Go?
The Gulf Coast Regional Tow and Go Program was developed to keep
motorists safe and traffic moving through no-cost, quick clearance of
vehicle breakdowns on camera-monitored sections of the freeway. Each
tow is authorized by law enforcement and is provided by Tow and Go
responders who are required to meet strict performance standards.
Why it is Important
clearance of these vehicles by tow operators contracted to serve specific
segments of the freeway can make a big difference in keeping freeways
moving.
Of the approximately 3,600 vehicles towed in May 2018 within the Tow and Go
service area, more than half qualified for no-cost tows. Even better, the
clearance time for those tows were five minutes less than the average
clearance time before the program was initiated.
Because so many people travel regularly to Houston from outside the city
limits, the Gulf Coast Regional Tow and Go Program is expected to expand to
not only Harris County but neighboring counties as well, replacing existing
clearance programs like SafeClear.
Motorist Guidelines
The Motorist Guidelines below provide important details of when vehicles are
eligible for no-cost towing and the services provided. These guidelines are
also given to motorists by Tow and Go operators at the scene of an incident.
Remember, if your vehicle is involved in a crash and is still operational, Texas
state law requires you move it completely off the freeway to a safe location.
Download Guidelines
Safety First
Safety is at the center of the Tow and Go Program. Each tow operator
contracted to perform the quick clearance service has not only met strict
selection standards, they also have completed roadway safety and traffic
incident management training. Law enforcement officers authorize every
response to calls received by the Tow and Go dispatch desk. Freeway
monitoring cameras allow them to view incidents in real time from their
location in the Houston TranStar traffic center. Law enforcement officers are
also responsible for monitoring the programès tow operators, who are
required to drive trucks and wear identification branded with the official Tow
and Go logo.
Operations & Funding
The Houston-Galveston Area Council manages the Gulf Coast Regional Tow
and Go Program through funding provided by the Federal Highway
Administration and the Texas Department of Transportation. Initial
participants in the program include the City of Houston, Harris County, and
Media Center
Members of the media are invited to visit the Tow and Go Media
Center for the latest press release and helpful digital assets.

SUMMARY
The GLO-CDR has allocated
and MOD Amendments No. 1 and 2 from the 2015 Floods CDBG-DR funds for infrastructure that failed
to function during the declaration period and improvements that principally benefit those of low and
moderate income areas. To access the funding allocated to the City of La Porte, the GLO required
submission of a Non--housing projects to
repair or mitigate damage that occurred during the Presidentially-declared Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) 4223-DR-TX (2015 Memorial Day) and FEMA 4245-DR-TX (2015
Halloween) disasters. The Northside Neighborhood Drainage Improvement Project (also referred to as
th
the 6 Street Drainage Improvements from Madison to Main), within the Little Cedar Bayou (F216)
Watershed, was awarded funding effective March 9, 2019, with a termination date of August 5, 2021.
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. Based on a previous study, further
drainage analysis was necessary to develop the most efficient flood reduction efforts. Given the
anticipated scope of proposed improvements and the potential for additional grant funding to supplement
the anticipated construction cost, this project will be completed in phases, with this phase providing for
the identification of improvements necessary to mitigate flooding and design and construction of the
necessary ultimate outfall structure.
RFQ #19601 for Engineering Services for Grant Projects was advertised on October 25, 2018, with a
closing date of November 20, 2018. Seventeen (17) firms submitted responses. The top four 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. Lockwood, Andrews, & Newnam, Inc. submitted a
proposal for preliminary engineering services for the Northside Neighborhood Drainage Improvement
Project in the amount of $59,530.00.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with Lockwood Andrews &
Newnam, Inc. to provide preliminary engineering services for the Northside Neighborhood Drainage
Improvement Project in the amount of $59,530.00.

Re: Northside Neighborhood Drainage Improvement Project - Preliminary Engineering
Report
Dear Mr. Wingate,
Per your request, Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc. has prepared a general scope and fee
schedule for the Northside Neighborhood Drainage Improvement Project Preliminary
Engineering Report. The effort described in Exhibit A will include the proposed scope of
services to complete the overall analysis for the area. In general, the tasks include an analysis,
improvement evaluation, and construction cost estimates.
The goal of the Northside Neighborhood Drainage Improvement Project is to improve the
functionality of the stormwater system and increase the storm water level of service in the
region. Based on previous studies, this project will revise and implement proposed
improvements to the area and reduce the overall flood risk. This effort is focused on developing
a regional improvement plan.
We propose to complete the total contract for an amount of $59,530.00. Exhibit B provides a
detailed man hour estimate of the fees associated with the basic services tasks. This project will
be utilizing grants award to the City as part of the 2015 Floods CDBG-DR Allocation. It is
anticipated that the preliminary engineering report can be completed within five months of
notice-to-proceed.
We are prepared to begin this task immediately and look forward to supporting the City of La
Porte on this important project. Please feel free to contact me at 713-821-0366 or by email at

SUMMARY
Staff is working diligently to put together a Proposed FY 2019-20 Budget for City Council
consideration. In doing so, staff has compiled all of the proposed capital improvement projects
budget retreat.
If all projects are officially approved with the budget in August, the total General CIP funding
will total $12,787,890. This would require a general fund balance draw down of $7.6 million to
fund all of those identified projects. This would be a significant draw down of the fund balance.
This item is placed on the agenda to allow for discussion of those currently identified projects.
An option would be to prioritize these projects and allocate funding for them over the next three
years avoid such a significant draw down.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
Move to fund all previously identified projects in FY 2019-20.
Move to direct staff to revise the listing of projects for funding in FY 2019-20.
