INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor & Commission DATE: April 13, 1978
FROM: A. B. Steckman
SUBJECT: Contract Mowers
Lady & Gentlemen:
After reviewing all bids and equipment lists submitted April 3, 1978, I
feel the Commission -°should consider Robertson's Mowing Service at $ 4.00
per lot, with three tractors and three mowers, and Joe M. Furlow at $ 4.00
per lot, with five tractors and four mowers.
I feel two contractors could do a better job without rushing. I was unable
to contact the lowest bidder to get an equipment list, his bid was $ 3.80
per lot.
Respectfully
i s-ll�is
A.B. Steckman
Chief Inspector
Mr. Steckman withdrew this recommendation after talking with the
low bidder, W. L. Brown. The bid was awarded to Mr. Brown in the
amount of $3.80 per lot.

Dear Mrs. Cline and Gentlemen:
TELEPHONE
713 471.1888
Representatives of the City of La Porte, Southern Pacific
Transportation Company, and CBS Blasting Company, met at
10:30 A.M._ on Friday, April 7., 1978, at.City Hall, to -discuss
the extension of the-16th Street water and sewer lines.
It was agreed at the meeting that S.P. would put up $5,000.00,
and CBS would seek the approval of its Board of Directors, to
put up $5,000.00-for an estimated $10,000.00 engineering fee
to Busch, Hutchison and Associates, Inc., to prepare working
plans and specs and bid documents, for the project.
S.P. proposed to Custom Blasting that the two firms equally
share the overage, being the difference between the final cost
of the project, and the water and sewer connection fees pay-
able by the two companies, and, that upon refund over the
10-year period allowed by the agreement, that the first monies
go to CBS, and when it has been fully reimbursed, then future*
monies go to S.P:
Mr. Busch indicated that upon -authorization, he could finish
the plans and specs in about -four weeks, and that the contractor
should be allowed no=more-than 60-days-to complete the job, after
contract letting. I have asked Mrs.`Goyen to place the matter ---
on the agenda for the regular meeting of April 17, by which time
we should have approvals from the two firms, to go ahead with
the engineering work.
Yours /very truly, ,
Knox W. Askins

PROPOSED DRAINAGE DITCH IN NORTHEAST DEER PARK
The referenced ditch was discussed in a Master Drainage Plan For The City
Of Deer Park as prepared by Espey, Huston & Assoc Cates, Inc. for Bayshore
Engineers, Inc. The proposed di~tch, referred to as Proposed Channel No. B
106-07-00 in the Drainage Plan, was to be concrete -lined to provide adequate
flow capacity to convey the 100-year flood flow. The report also noted
that new bridges would be needed where the proposed channel crossed Underwood
Road and where the existing HCFCD No, B 106-05-00 crosses "L" Street. The
• outfall of the proposed channel is to be Bi'g Island Slough.
The Master Drainage Plan mentioned above did not discuss the effect the
proposed drainage channel would have on the upstream and downstream portions
of Big Island Slough. Big Island Slough, as tt exists today, drains a large
area including the Fairmont Park Subdivision of ha Porte. During heavy rain-
fall periods, ft is evident that Big Island Slough- is to desperate need of
cleaning and enlargement. A great deal of study would be necessary to determine
the extent of the improvements needed now as well as those that would be required
with the additional load of the proposed channel from Deer Park.
Without such. studies and plans to improve Big Island Slough, it is recommended
that alternate methods for dra tntng northeast Deer Park be explored.
Sincerely,
David A. Gorb'jn
