CITY OF LA PORTE
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
T0: Jac en :.Manager DATE: September 7, 1983
FROM: Je Ho Director of Public Works ,
f.
SUBJECT: So Wa Disposal`
In September ,:'1982, the Cities of La Porte and Se~.brook, Te~as'entered.lntd'
an agreement with HDR Techserv Inc. for the development 'of a solid waste
disposal plan, i~rhich would identify dependable and economical disosa`1- ,
options for both the short and TtSng term. The study was commissioned when
the two cities faced the closing of the Harris County Landfill in La Porte,
due to close around the first of next year.
The .consultant determined that the earliest time at which the Cities would
be .able to begin their own disposal operation would be lade 198+ kith a
.city-owned landfill,-and as late as 1987 for a City resource facility.
Therefore, some short-term alternative will be necessary to dispose of all
solid waste generated by-the two cities. The solid waste can be divided
into two parts - (1) garbage, and (2) trash. Garbage must be disposed of
in a Type I landfill. gash can. be disposed of in a Type I'or Type IV
landfill. A Type IV is_for`brush and construction debxis only.
The most economical short term alternative will. be to dispose of garbage at
Hazelwood Landfill in .Baytown and trash at Huges Landfill in Houston, dust
south of Pasadena. .Both landfills are approximately equal distance from
La Porte, averaging twelve (12) miles one way.
Although Hazelwood Landfill (Type I)-will accept both garbage and trash
for disposal, Hughes Landfill (Type IV) has lower tipping fees and has
indicated that hs is willing to sign a three year fixed-price contract:.
The consultant has recommended that the most economical disposal alternative
for the two Cities is to use Hazelwood for disposal-of garbage and Hughes
for disposal .of trash. Because there are no landfills located .closer,
these two'landf-lls are the most cost, effective .due to transportation costs,
and three year contracts have been negotiated with the operators.
I recommend that the City sign a three year contract with Hazelwood Landfill
for disposal of garbage,,and a three year contract with Hughes Landfill for
the disposal of trash only.
If you should have any questions, please advise.

t ANALYSIS OF INSURANCE QUOTATIONS
' Overview:
The City of LaPorte retained RIMCO to prepare comprehensive insurance
specifications in order to obtain quotations for the property and
casualty insurance coverages of the City. The specifications were
prepared utilizing data available from the City and the present insur-
ance agency, and were based upon recommendations made in a risk manage-
1 meet survey prepared for the City of LaPorte. The City advertised that
it was bidding its insurance program and invited agents with an interest
to do so to obtain copies of the specifications. The insurance agents
' had six weeks in order to secure quotations from the insurance market-
place.
' The following insurance agencies quoted on the City's property and
casualty insurance program:
1. Ken Strum Insurance Agency
2. Cornelius & Associates, Inc.
3. Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. - Dallas
Also, the Texas Municipal League (TML) quoted on the Workers' Compensa-
tion, Comprehensive General Liability, Automobile Liability, Professional
Liability, Automobile Physical Damage, Property, and Equipment Floater
coverages. The TML was unable to obtain an Umbrella quote because the
' market was already committed to another agent. The TML uses the Mission
Insurance Company to provide Umbrella coverage; we would anticipate that
the cost would be competitive.
Procedures Used in Comparing Quotations:
' Following receipt of the specifications, RIMCO analyzed the various
quotes on behalf of the City. The four criteria used in analyzing the
quotes were: coverage, cost, service and financial solvency of the
insurance carriers. This report is a synopsis of our analysis.
The cost comparison, page 3, was prepared based on the following cover-
ages, limits, and. deductibles:
' 1. Automobile - $500,000 CSL, Comprehensive $50 deductible,
Collision on five fire trucks with $5,000 deductible, and
Fire, Theft and CAC coverage on five fire trucks.
' 2. General Liability - $500,000 CSL, Broad Form Comprehensive.
Liability Endorsement.
' Tillingh~ Rimco

•
3. Umbrella Liability - $10,000,000 limits.
4. Property - All Risk coverage, $10,000 limit for Burglary and
' Robbery and $50,000 limit for Extra Expense coverage.
5. Workers' Compensation - Statutory Limits.
fi. Equipment Floater - Blanket basis, all risk coverage.
In reviewing these cost comparisons, it should be kept in mind that
' these are all estimates utilizing the exposure data (e.g., payrolls,
building values, etc.} provided in the specifications. In addition,
several of the quotations indicated that dividends will be paid on
certain lines of coverage. Legally, these dividends cannot be guaran-
' teed, and they may differ somewhat from the percentages used in the
quotations. However, historical dividend-paying information on the
various companies was requested, which provides an indication of what
' will happen in the future. Finally, the Workers' Compensation and
Automobile Liability quote's are based on last year's (1982-83} experi-
ence modifiers, which, of course, will be updated this year. The new
' modifiers were not available when the specifications were released.
However, since all proposals used the same modifiers, we believe that
the comparison of these various quotations is-valid and equitable.

' OPTIONAL COVERAGE
Throughout the specifications, we requested cost quotes on optional
coverages. In many cases, these coverages were already included in the
pricing structure used by Arthur J. Gallagher anal the Texas Municipal
League. This is because both of these entities have identified munici-
palities as a target market and have developed programs specifically for
this industry group. Of the optional coverages not included in the
premium indicated on the Price Comparison, we recommend that the fol-
lowing options be accepted by the City of LaPorte:
1. Automobile, nonownership coverage: TML cost - $134; Gallagher -
included.
' 2. Automobile, yard only physical damage: TML cost - $5,000;
Gallagher - not quoted.
' 3. Property, Flood coverage excess of the N.F.I.P.: TML cost -
$1,750; Gallagher cost - $2,500 (also includes earthquake
coverage).
4. Property, Transit coverage for personal property: TML cost -
included; Gallagher cost - $600.

' RECOMMENDATION
' Based on a review of the price and coverage analysis, we eliminated all
proposals from further consideration except the TML and Arthur J.
Gallagher (with Workers' Compensation continuing with the TML), Based
on a review of the proposals and our past experience with these organi-
zation, we believe that both are financially stable and capable of
providing the needed service levels. However, a note of caution should
be mentioned. The TML has awarded the service contract for the Workers'
' Compensation program to new service providers effective 10/1/83. We are
familiar with the new service providers and have discussed the motiva-
tions and expected implications of this change with the TML management
officers. It is reasonable to expect a certain amount of transition
difficulties to arise, but we have no reason to believe that any transi-
tion difficulties would be of a magnitude to justify the rejection of
' the TML proposal.
If the Gallagher program combined with the TML Workers' Compensation
program was accepted, the anticipated premium would be $19,400 more than
' if the entire TML proposal is accepted. It is our opinion that while
there are coverage differences between these two proposals, they both
provide very broad coverage. In our professional opinion, there are no
coverage reasons to justify acceptance of the higher bid.
After review of these proposals and preparation of this analysis, RIMCO
recommends acceptance of the TML proposal.

Advertised sealed bid i~0002 for the purchase of "Cold. Mix Limestone Rock
Asphalt Pavement - Grades A-D" were opened and read in the Council Chambers
• May 9, 1983 at 4:00 PM. Sealed Bids were received from the following
vendors: (1) Whites Mines

Cold mix will be purchased on as as needed basis for the stockpile located
the Public Works Service Center. Low bid was submitted by Azrock Industries
in the amount of $24.63 per ton on orders of over 1000 toss and $25.99
per ton on orders of less than 1000 tons. Azrock Industsies Inc. will
offer a one year contract with a fixed price for ninety days. Any increase
or decrease is pricing after this period of time will be based on fluctuations
in the price of flux oil in the spot market. The City of La Porte must
receive thirty days written notice of any proposed increases with proper
documentation of the increased cost of raw material.
Azrock Industries 1983 bid price reflects a $.58 per ton decrease (2X) _
from the present contract price of th~,s material. The City of La Pontes'
present contract will expire on May 30. 1983.
I hereby recommend accepting the low bid from Azrock Industries for the
