Brothers and Dravo Basic Materials Inc. submitting bids.

site and picked up at the plant. The asphalt based products are to be
used by the Street Division for maintenance operations.

Sole bidder on Hot Mix - Cold Laid material was Dravo Basic Materials,
Inc. at $28.00 per ton delivered and $31.25 picked up. These prices indi-
cate an 11% increase over the current price being paid to Dravo for this material.

Sealed Bid 110111 - Flexible--i}..{se (Crushed Limestone)
Advertised, sealed bids#Olll for the Annual Supply Agreement for flexible
base material were opened and read in City Council Chambers August 12, 1985 at
4 p.m. Sealed bid invitations were mailed to eleven area limestone distributors
with the following four submitting bids; (1) J. W. Gibson Trucking Co., (2) Parker
Brothers, (3) Gulf Coast Limestone, and (4) Dravo Basic Materials.
Vendors were asked to submit delivered and F.O.B. plant pricing on crushed
limestone meeting Texas Highway Dept. specifications #248 - Type A, Grade 2.
This material is used by all City of La Porte crews for various maintenance pur-
poses.
Low bid meeting specifications was submitted by Parker Brothers, Inc. in
the amount of $8.80 per ton picked up and $11.47 per ton delivered. This pric-
ing is 2% lower than pricing under the current contract.
I recommend that the City of La Porte award the 1985-86 annual supply agree-
ment for flexible base to Parker Brothers, Inc. on the basis of low bid meeting
specifications. I also recommend the City of La Porte award a contingency con-
tract to second low bidder Gulf Coast Limestone should Parker Brothers be unable
to perform during the life of the contract.
I trust you will concur with this recommendation.

Bid #0109 - Aggr4~tf1;;:' Surface
FROM:
J. Ray
SUBJECT:
Sealed
Treatment
Advertised, sealed bids #0109 for the annual supply agreement to
furnish Aggregate for Surface Treatment were opened and read in City
Council Chambers August 12, 1985 at 4 p.m. Sealed bid invitations were
mailed to three suppliers of this material with Parker Brothers and Dravo
Basic Materials Inc. returning bids.
Bid specifications were based upon the 1982 Texas Highway Dept. speci-
fications for Item #304 in the following grades: (1) PE-2, (2) PE-3, and
(3) PE-4. This material is currently used by the Street Division for
maintenance and reconstruction of surface courses within the corporate limits
of La Porte, Texas.
Low bid meeting specifications was submitted by Whites Mines in all
three of the aforementioned categories; (1) PE-2 = $23.68 ton delivered,
(2) PE-3 = $23.68 ton delivered, and (3) PE-4 = $24.58 ton delivered.
Prices quoted for PE-2 and PE-3 average 3% higher than prices under the
current contract and prices for PE-4 average 7% higher than prices under
the current contract. The price increases noted are attributed to in-
crease in rail transportation costs and lack of competition for these
grades of material.
I recommend the City of La Porte sign a one-year supply agreement
with Whites Mines for the supply of Aggregate for Surface Treatment in
accordance with quoted State Highway Department Specifications. I trust
this recommendation will meet with your approval.

SUBJECT: Sealed Bid #0112 - ReinfQ~d C:ncrete Pipe & Miscellaneous Supplies
Advertised, sealed bids #0112 for the annual Reinforced Concrete Pipe
Supply Agreement were opened and read in City Council Chambers August 19, 1985
at 4 p.m. Sealed bid invitations were mailed to seven area pipe manufacturers
with the following four returning bids; (1) Hydro Conduit Corp. (2) Jerry
McKinley Concrete Pipe Co. (Monroe Ferrell), (3) South Houston Concrete Pipe,
and (4) Whites Supply' Inc.
Bidders were asked to submit fixed prlclng on various diameter rein-
forced concrete pipe to be used in the City of La Porte's ongoing drainage
program. Also included in the bid were various inlet saddles, catch basins,
and concrete bricks.
Low total bid meeting specifications was submitted by Whites Supply Co.
of Bay town , Texas. Prices remained the same as pricing under the current
1984-85 contract except for the price on 60" R.C.P. which increased 6%. I
recommend the City of La Porte award a one-year supply agreement to Utility
Supply Inc. on the basis of low total bid meeting specifications.
I trust this recommendation will meet with your approval.

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT: . Mobile Home Park User Fee
DATE:
August 7, 1985
Ordinance #811 was passed on Jan. 16, 1969 by the City
Commissio~, and included a $2.00 per month user fee for each
unit in ~he city. I am unable to find any council discussion
of the or;dinance. However, it was stated in the minutes of the
Jan. 6, 1969 meeting by the mayor that a work session would be
held to study the ordinance, but I am unable to obtain the
minutes of this meeting or to find any other discussion about
the ordinance.
Subsequent to this, Ordinance #887 was passed on August
23, 19711. This ordinance amended chapter 14, article 11 of
ordinanc~ #811 by raising the fee from $2.00 to $3.00 per month
for each :mobile home unit. This ordinance also appeared to
engender' Ii tt1e discussion. Al though a comment was made by
John D. Lawler, President of the Oak Park Mobile Home Park,
duirng the August 9, 1971 meeting; and during this same meeting
further action on the ordinance was postponed for further
study, I can find no evidence of this study or of any
additional opposition.
In addition to the payment of the $3.00 user fee, mobile
home own~rs are required to pay the following taxes: water and
sewer, school, city and county, flood control, and port
authority. The total revenue derived from these sources during
the past,fiscal year was approximately $8000.00. These taxes
are either paid separately or are included in the price paid on
the lot.:

SUBJ: Mobile Home Resident Park Fee
DATE: July 11, 1985
In the Fiscal Budget Year 1984-85 the city began ad valorem tax
collections for mobile homes as a result of the State Property
Tax Code changes. This taxation includes mobile homes residing
in mobile home parks. These mobile home owners are granted the
same exemptions as your other homeowners and are treated in the
same manner as all other taxpayers.

Since August 23, 1971 ,the city has been collecting a monthly
$3.00 resident service fee for mobile home park residents, as
designat~d by city ordinance 887. The Fiscal Year 1983-84
annual revenues received for this fee was $19,211. This brings
the ~ity now to a point of double charges to these residents
for residing within the city limits. With consideration of
this; I would recommend the city remove the present $3.00
monthly fee charged as required by ordinance 887. This would
provide a equitable fee structure for these residents and
enhance appeal to prospective mobile home residents to the
city. As this will require City Council action, I await
your recommendation.
