INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
T0: Ja Owen, i Manager DATE: March 8, 1981+
FROM: r L. ector of Public Works
SUBJECT: C we ergency Rehabilitation
The attached report from Turner Collie & Braden is a summary of the work
completed on the Catlett sewer rehabilitation project. The report expresses
that problems were encountered that were not expected from the initial survey
of the project. Excess work and cost was also due to unseasonal rainfall
and Hurricane "Alicia".
The original estimate of cost from Turner Collie & Braden on the emergency
rehabilitation of the Catlett Sewer Main, was $125,000. At closing out of
the project account the actual amount spent on the rehabilitation was
$186,425.83. Engineering fees and on site inspection fees were $1+6,000 as
originally proposed.
If you should have any questions, please advise.

CATLETT LANE SEWER - EMERGENCY REHABILITATION
FOR THE CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS
TURNER COLLIE & BRADEN JOB NOS. 26-00021-010 & 011'
The Catlett Lane sewer consists of approximately 2,100 feet of 6-inch
and 8-inch concrete sewer pipe. The sewer line is located in aback lot
easement which is primarily 10 feet in width but necks down to 6 feet at
several locations. The back lot easement is heavily congested with utilities,
trees, bushes, fences, etc. It is also encroached upon by garages, fallout
shelters, and yard buildings. The history of the line consisted of pluggage,
failures, charging etc. almost as a daily occurrence.
The project goal was to repair the line with minimal impact upon local
residents. This was accomplished in a 72-working-day period which was plagued
by unseasonable rain, a hurricane, and excessively wet ground for 19 of those
days. On. seven more of those days it was also plagued by charging of the
Catlett Lane Sewer caused by pluggage in the Farrington Main and problems
with the subdivision lift station. The contractor also had to clean the
Farrington Main on eight occasions to remove blockage which had caused charging
of the Catlett Lane Sewer. The limited right-of-way, the congested easement,
and wet ;round conditions all contributed to the necessity to u:~~ hand labor
for excavation for entry pits, point repairs, and tap connections.
The first step of the project was to clean the lines. Numerous blockages
were encountered. These were later found to be caused primarily by dropped
service connections. After cleaning, the lines were television inspected.
Television inspection of the line from Valley Brook Drive to Piney Brook Drive
revealed a deteriorated line with heavy root intrusion. Replacement of this
approximately 1,100 foot section would have been very expensive because of the
limited access and possible damage to private property. The decision to slip
line this section with a 7-inch SDR 21 polyethylene liner pipe seemed to be
the only viable alternative. This was accomplished and all the service
connections reconnected.
The sewer line section from Piney Brook to Farrington was found to be
slip lined with 6-inch SDR polyethylene. Cleaning of this section incurred
only normal problems; however, television inspection found an obstacle at
every service connection. In addition, the television camera would catch
at reverse slope (dip) locations. All service connections on this section
-1-
• •
were excavated and reconnected to the liner. Many of these service connections
had slipped because they were installed with homemade saddles. Two sections
of sagged, bare polyethylene pipe were replaced. These were at apparent
old entry pit locations. All excavation had to be performed by hand labor
because of the wet soil conditions of the congested work areas.
After completion of repairs to the sections described above, all repair
locations were water tamped to speed consolidation of the backfill, fences
damaged by construction were repairetii or replaced, construction damaged areas
were sodded, and a general area clean-up was performed.
Difficulties Encountered During Construction
Which Affected The Cost of the Project
1. Rain delays and associated wet ground condition.
2. Congested narrow ROW.
3. Items 1 and 2 above necessitated the use of hand labor.
4. Charging problems associated with the Farrington Main and subdivision
lift station.
5. Almost every service connection had slipped into the sewer line and
required repair.
6. Dips in sewer line caught the television camera.
Special Considerations
1. Manhole No. 4 will always have approximately 6 inches of standing water
because of a bow in the sewer that exists downstream. The condition
was improved by point repairs which removed part of the bowed section.
2. Manholes No. 5 and No. 6 will always have standing water because the
flowlines of the outlet sewers of both manholes were originally
constructed several inches higher than the inlets.
Normal periodic maintenance will resolve the nuisance caused by these
two items.
Conclusion
Basically the project has been very successful. Minimum resident
complaints have been received about construction damage. Many residents
have volunteered their opinion of being satisfied by the results. The
contractor was responsive to the residents' requests and was considerate
in his approach to minimize damage during construction.

City of La Porte
Inter-Office Memorandum
T0: Jack Owen, City Manager DATE: March 1, 1984
FROM: Hodge, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Slid Waste Contract
The City of La Porte has recently annexed two (2) areas west of the
city, Spenwick and College View Municipal Utility Districts. Spenwick
MUD has been dissolved, and is presently receiving all city services.
College View MUD will be dissolved on March 27, 1984.
Spenwick MUD had no formal garbage collection contract before annexation.
However, College View MUD has a three (3) year contract with Bay Area
Disposal Service, cancelable only for failure to perform. The contract
period is from July 1, ]983 through June 30,.7986.
The Public Works. Department collected data in June 1983 and determined
that the annexation 'of these two (2) areas would .stretch the ability of
the Solid Waste Division to provide service to these areas. Rapid growth
in the western portion of the city and the ~ixtt!~endina closing of the
Harris County Landfil'7 will require an additional collection crew.
In order to a17ow time to budget for the additional crew and equipment,
and to shorten the contract period with Bay Area Disposal Service,~the
Public Works Department has negotiated a contract with Bay Area Disposal
Service fora one (1) year period beginning April 1;•1984 through March
31, 1985. The orginal contract price per month per residence was EIGHT
Dollars ($8.00) per months The negotiated price is EIGHT DOLLARS AND
FIFTY CENTS ($8.50) pe.r month per residence. The increase is due to the
shortening of the contract and the increased service the contractor will
have to provide to equal city service.
The contractor will carry the required liablity insurance and obtain
a ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR ($100,000) performance bond or post a
FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLAR ($15,000) cash bond. The city will provide
plastic bags to residents,~~and the contractor will be responsible for
all other costs, including 7andfi~ll fees. This contract will be for
College View and Spenwick. Although the city began collection in
Spenwick on January 31, 1984, the development occurring in new subdivisions
is rapidly expanding present routes to the limit. The contracting of
these two (2) areas for one (1) year will a71ow the Solid Waste Division
time to budget funds in October, purchase equipment;~~and reroute the entire
city from four routes to six routes.

Solid Waste Contract
I recommend that the City Council authorize the City~Manger:'to~~sign
a one (1) year contract with Bay Area DIsposa7 .Service for $8.50 per
month per residence to provide solid waste collection,~equal to the
city's service, for Spenwick and College View, beginning Apri~1 1, 'i984
through March 31, 1985.
If you should have any questions, please advise.

only normal problems; however, television inspection found an obstacle at
every service connection. In addition, the television camera would catch
at reverse slope (dip) locations. All service connections on this section
-1-
~ i
were excavated and reconnected to the liner. Many of these service connections
had slipped because they were installed with homemade saddles. Two sections
of sagged, bare polyethylene pipe were replaced. These were at apparent
old entry pit locations. All excavation had to be performed by hand labor
because of the wet soil conditions of the congested work areas.
After completion of repairs to the sections described above, all repair
locations were water tamped to speed consolidation of the backfill, fences
damaged by construction were repaired or replaced, construction damaged areas
were sodded, and a general area clean-up was performed.
Difficulties Encountered During Construction
Which Affected The Cost of the Project
1. Rain delays and associated wet ground condition.
2. Congested narrow ROW.
3. Items 1 and 2 above necessitated the use of hand labor.
~+. Charging problems associated with the Farrington Main and subdivision
lift station.
5. Almost every service connection had slipped into the sewer line and
required repair.
6. Dips in sewer line caught the television camera.
Special Considerations
1. Manhole No. 4 will always have approximately 6 inches of standing water
because of a bow in the sewer that exists downstream. The condition
was improved by point repairs which removed part of the bowed section.
2. Manholes No. 5 and No. 6 will always have standing water because the
flowlines of the outlet sewers of both manholes were originally
constructed several inches higher than the inlets.
Normal periodic maintenance will resolve the nuisance caused by these
two items.
Conclusion
Basically the project has been very successful. Minimum resident
complaints have been received about construction damage. Many residents
have volunteered their opinion of being satisfied by the results. The
contractor was responsive to the residents' requests and was considerate
in his approach to minimize damage during construction.

CATLETT LANE SEWER - EMERGENCY REHABILITATION

TURNER COLLIE & BRADEN JOB NOS. 26-00021-010 & O11
The Catlett Lane sewer consists of approximately 2,lOG feet of 6-inch
and 8-inch concrete sewer pipe. The sewer line is located in aback lot
easement which is primarily 10 feet in width but necks down to 6 feet at
several locations. The back lot easement is heavily congested with ur.ilities,
trees, bushes, fences, etc. It is also encroached upon by garages, fallout
shelters, and yard buildings. The history of the line consisted of pluggage,
failures, charging etc. almost as a daily occurrence.
The project goal was to repair the line with minimal impact upon local
residents. This was accomplished in a 72-working-day period which was plagued
by unseasonable rain, a hurricane, and excessively wet ground for 19 of those
days. On seven more of those days it was also plagued by charging of the
Catlett Lane Sewer caused by pluggage in the Farrington Main and problems
with the subdivision lift station. The contractor also had to •c lean the
Farrington Main on eight occasions to remove blockage which had caused charging
of the Catlett Lane Sewer. The limited right-of-way, the congested easement,
and wet •~cround conditions all contributed to the necessity to use hand labor
for excavation for entry pits, point repairs, and tap connections.
The first step of the project was to clean the lines. Numerous blockages
were encountered. These were later found to be caused primarily by dropped
service connections. After cleaning, the lines were television inspected.
Television inspection of the line from Valley Brook Drive to Piney Brook Drive
revealed a deteriorated line with heavy root intrusion. Replacement of this
approximatelyy 1,100 foot section would have been very expensive because of the
limited access and possible damage to private property. The decision to slip
line this section with a 7-inch SDR 21 polyethylene liner pipe seemed to be
the only viable alternative. This was accomplished and all the service
connections reconnected.

Television inspection of the line from Valley Brook Drive to Piney Brook Drive
revealed a deteriorated line with heavy root intrusion. Replacement of this
approximately 1,100 foot section would have been very expensive because of the
limited access and possible damage to private property. The decision to slip
line this section with a 7-inch SDR 21 polyethylene liner pipe seemed to be
the only viable alternative. This was accomplished and all the service
connections reconnected.
The sewer line section from Piney Brook to Farrington was found to be
slip lined with 6-inch SDR polyethylene. Cleaning of this section incurred
only normal problems; however, television inspection found an obstacle at
every service connection. In addition, the television camera would catch
at reverse slope (dip) locations. All service connections on this section
-1-
•
were excavated and reconnected to the liner. Many of these service connections
had slipped because they were installed with homemade saddles. Two sections
of sagged, bare polyethylene pipe were replaced. These were at apparent
old entry pit locations. All excavation had to be performed by hand labor
because of the wet soil conditions of the congested work areas.
After completion of repairs to the sections described above, all repair
locations were water tamped to speed consolidation of the backfill, fences
damaged by construction were repaired or replaced, construction damaged areas
were sodded, and a general area clean-up was performed.
Difficulties Encountered During Construction
Which Affected The Cost of the Project
1. Rain delays and associated wet ground condition.
2. Congested narrow ROW.
3. Items 1 and 2 above necessitated the use of hand labor.
4. Charging problems associated with the Farrington Main and subdivision
lift station.
5. Almost every service connection had slipped into the sewer line and
required repair.
6. Dips in sewer line caught the television camera.
Special Considerations
1. Manhole No. 4 will always have approximately 6 inches of standing water
because of a bow in the sewer that exists downstream. The condition
was improved by point repairs which removed part of the bowed section.
2. Manholes No. 5 and No. 6 will always have standing water because the
flowlines of the outlet sewers of both manholes were originally
constructed several inches higher than the inlets.
Normal periodic maintenance will resolve the nuisance caused by these
two items.
Conclusion
Basically the project has been very successful. Minimum resident
complaints have been received about construction damage. Many residents
have volunteered their opinion of being satisfied by the results. The
contractor was responsive to the residents' requests and was considerate
in his approach to minimize damage during construction.

The Catlett Lane sewer consists of approximately 2,lOG feet of 6-inch
and 8-inch concrete sewer pipe. The sewer line is located in aback lot
easement which is primarily 10 feet in width but necks down to 6 feet at
several locations. The back lot easement is heavily congested with u~ilities,
trees, bushes, fences, etc. It is als:~ encroached upon by garages, fallout
shelters, and yard buildings. The history of the line consisted of. pluggage,
failures, charging etc. almost as a daily occurrence.
The project goal was to repair the line with minimal impact upon local
residents. This was accomplished in a 72-working-day period which was plagued
by unseasonable rain, a hurricane, and excessively wet ground for 19 of those
days. On seven more of those days it was also plagued by charging of the
Catlett Lane Sewer caused by pluggage in the Farrington Main and problems
with the subdivision lift station. The contractor also had to clean the
Farrington Main on eight occasions to remove blockage which had caused charging
of the Catlett Lane Sewer. The limited right-of-way, the congested easement,
and wet -round conditions all contributed to the necessity to use hand labor
for excavation for entry pits, point repairs, and tap connections.

Farrington Main on eight occasions to remove blockage which had caused charging
of the Catlett Lane Sewer. The limited right-of-way, the congested easement,
and wet ~*,round conditions all contributed to the necessity to use hand labor
for excavation for entry pits, point repairs, and tap connections.
The first step of the project was to clean the lines. Numerous blockages
were encountered. These were later found to be caused primarily by dropped
service connections. After cleaning, the lines were television inspected.
Television inspection of the line from Valley Brook Drive to Piney Brook Drive
revealed a deteriorated line with heavy root intrusion. Replacement of this
approximately 1,100 foot section would have been very expensive because of the
limited access and possible damage to private property. The decision to slip
line this section with a 7-inch SDR 21 polyethylene liner pipe seemed to be
the only viable alternative. This was accomplished and all the service
connections reconnected. '
The sewer line section from Piney Brook to Farrington was found to be
slip lined with 6-inch SDR polyethylene. Cleaning of this section incurred
only normal problems; however, television inspection found an obstacle at
every service connection. In addition, the television camera would catch
at reverse slope (dip) locations. All service connections on this section
-1-
._. • ~ •
were excavated and reconnected to the liner. Many of these service connections
had slipped because they were installed with homemade saddles. Two sections
of sagged, bare polyethylene pipe were replaced. These were at apparent
old entry pit locations. All excavation had to be performed by hand labor
because of the wet soil conditions of the congested work areas.
After completion of repairs to the sections described above, all repair
locations were water tamped to speed consolidation of the backfill, fences
damaged by construction were repaired or replaced, construction damaged areas
were sodded, and a general area clean-up was performed.
Difficulties Encountered During Construction
Which Affected The Cost of the Project
1. Rain delays and associated wet ground condition.
2. Congested narrow ROW.
3. Items 1 and 2 above necessitated the use of hand labor.
1+. Charging problems associated with the Farrington Main and subdivision
lift station.
5. Almost every service connection had slipped into the sewer line and
required repair.
6. Dips in sewer line caught the television camera.
Special Considerations
1. Manhole No. 4 will always have approximately 6 inches of standing water
because of a bow in the sewer that exists downstream. The condition
was improved by point repairs which removed part of the bowed section.
2. Manholes No. 5 and No. 6 will always have standing water because the
flowlines of the outlet sewers of both manholes were originally
constructed several inches higher than the inlets.
Normal periodic maintenance will resolve the nuisance caused by these
two items.
Conclusion
Basically the project has been very successful. Minimum resident
complaints have been received about construction damage. Many residents
have volunteered their opinion of being satisfied by the results. The
contractor was responsive to the residents' requests and was considerate
in his approach to minimize damage during construction.

The Catlett Lane sewer consists of approximately 2,100 feet of 6-inch
and 8-inch concrete sewer pipe. The sewer line is located in aback lot
easement which is primarily 10 feet in width but necks down to 6 feet at
several locations. The back lot easement is heavily congested with u.;ilities,
trees, bushes, fences, etc. It is also encroached upon by garages, fallout
shelters, and yard buildings. The history of the line consisted of pluggage,
failures, charging etc. almost as a daily occurrence.
The project goal was to repair the line with minimal impact upon local
residents. This was accomplished in a 72-working-day period which was plagued
by unseasonable rain, a hurricane, and excessively wet ground for 19 of those

shelters, and yard buildings. The history of the line consisted of pluggage,
failures, charging etc. almost as a daily occurrence.
The project goal was to repair the line with minimal impact upon local
residents. This was accomplished in a 72-working-day period which was plagued
by unseasonable rain, a hurricane, and excessively wet ground for 19 of those
days. On seven more of those days it was also plagued by charging of the
Catlett Lane Sewer caused by pluggage in the Farrington Main and problems
with the subdivision lift station. The contractor also had to clean the
Farrington Main on eight occasions to remove blockage which had caused charging
of the Catlett Lane Sewer. The limited right-of-way, the congested easement,
and wet •=sound conditions all contributed to the necessity to use hand labor
for excavation for entry pits, point repairs, and tap connections.
The first step of the project was to clean the lines. Numerous blockages
were encountered. These were later found to be caused primarily by dropped
service connections. After cleaning, the lines were television inspected.
Television inspection of the line from Valley Brook Drive to Piney Brook Drive
revealed a deteriorated line with heavy root intrusion. .Replacement of this
approximately 1,100 foot section would have been very expensive because of the
limited access and possible damage to private property. The decision to slip
line this section with a 7-inch SDR 21 polyethylene liner pipe seemed to be
the only viable alternative. This was accomplished and all the service
connections reconnected.
The sewer line section from Piney Brook to Farrington was found to be
slip lined with 6-inch SDR polyethylene. Cleaning of this section incurred
only normal problems; however, television inspection found an obstacle at
every service connection. In addition, the television camera would catch
at reverse slope (dip) locations. All service connections on this section
a
a
-1-
were excavated and reconnected to the liner. Many of these service connections
had slipped because they were installed with homemade saddles. Two sections
of sagged, bare polyethylene pipe were replaced. These were at apparent
old entry pit locations. All excavation had to be performed by hand labor
because of the wet soil conditions of the congested work areas.
After completion of repairs to the sections described above, all repair
locations were water tamped to speed consolidation of the backfill, fences
damaged by construction were repaired or replaced, construction damaged areas
were sodded, and a general area clean-up was performed.
Difficulties Encountered During Construction
Which Affected The Cost of the Pro.iect
1. Rain delays and associated wet ground condition.
2. Congested narrow ROW.
3. Items 1 and 2 above necessitated the use of hand labor.
4. Charging problems associated with the Farrington Main and subdivision
lift station.
5. Almost every service connection had slipped into the sewer line and
required repair.
6. Dips in sewer line caught i:he television camera.
Special Considerations
1. Manhole No. 4 will always have approximately 6 inches of standing water
because of a bow in the sewer that exists downstream. The condition
was improved by point repairs which removed part of the bowed section.
2. Manholes No. 5 and No. 6 will always have standing water because the
flowlines of the outlet sewers of both manholes were originally
constructed several inches higher than the inlets.
Normal periodic maintenance will resolve the nuisance caused by these
two items.
Conclusion
Basically the project has been very successful. Minimum resident
complaints have been received about construction damage. Many residents
have volunteered their opinion of being satisfied by the results. The
contractor was responsive to the residents' requests and was considerate
in his approach to minimize damage during construction.

of Public Works
Beginning in August of 1980, the Public Works Department has been engaged in
an intensive street construction program to pave unimproved streets and to
reconstruct deteriorated. streets. In addition, two (2) paving projects
were contracted to private companies for road construction on unimproved streets.
From August 1980 to February 1984, approximately 35,600 linear feet, or 6.74
miles of street were reconstructed by City crews. This represents 102 city
blocks, using 350 linear feet per block. Estimated total material cost for
this program is $616,130, or $6.49 per square yard.
In the same period, approximately 21,000 linear feet, or 3.98 miles of
new street was constructed by City crews. This represents 60 city blocks.
Estimated total material cost for this program is $363,446, or $6.49 per
square yard.
Paving projects for unimproved streets were performed by contract during this
period. Approximately 45,900 linear feet, or 8.69 miles, representing 131
city blocks were constructed at a total cost of $1,980,688, or $16.18 per
square yard. This cost includes engineering fees.
Thirty five (35) streets remain on the unpaved street list assigned priorities
by City Council. Using contract and force account labor, ten to fifteen of
these streets should be paved this budget year. Reconstruction of streets wil]_
be based on street surveys underway at this time, together with extensive
patching and sealcoating.
If you should have any questions, please advise.
