Administrative Reports Director of Public Works Steve Gillett reported on an adjusted budget for materials testing services for McClelland Engineers, who will provide soils and materials testing for the Fairmont Parkway relief trunk sewer and the main treatment plant expansion. The trunk sewer was overestimated and the main treatment plant expansion was underestimated. The revised budget will be $4,000 for the trunk sewer and $20,000 for the treatment plant expansion. The updated projection reflects a total reduction of $7000 over the original estimate. Fire Chief Joe Sease addressed Council regarding the relocation of the Emergency Medical Services division. They have outgrown their facility. A committee, comprised of Chief Sease, Assistant Fire Chief Champ Dunham, and Police Chief Charles Smith, has investigated several options, and have concluded that the most optimum solution would be to incorporate the EMS facility with the new fire training facility. At the conclusion of the presentation, Council indicated that they had no objections to this, and for staff to pursue that route.

TO PROVIDE ENGINEERING SERVICES The City Council, at the March 23, 1987 meeting, approved an additional $8,000 for HDR Techserv, Inc. to continue to assist the City in obtaining a sanitary landfill permit. At that time, it was felt that the City was close to addressing the concerns of parties in opposition. Since that time, additional effort has been required of HDR, and the issues involved in the permit application continue to be a matter of discussion in the attempt to address the opposition of the permit. HDR Techserv, Inc. has submitted charges exceeding the authorized amount of $93,600 by $3,163.18. In addition, HDR estimates that additional effort required to attend and testify at a public hearing on the permit application (estimated to last four (4) days) will cost an additional $6,400. HDR Techserv, Inc. has submitted a Request for Additional Authorization in the amount of $9,600, increasing the total authorization of this project from $93,600 to $103,200. I recommend that the City Council authorize the additional $8,600 needed. SG/lw //~~ /~ HDR Techsen, Inc.

Under the terms of our agreement we are not to exceed the previously authorized $93,600 without authorization. Although we recently received authorization from you for an additional $8,000 increase, through discussions with City staff there appears to have been a miscommunication as to the quantity of work remaining on the project. Therefore, to allow us to continue to support the City in preparation for the upcoming public hearing, we propose to be paid for additional services at our standard rate of 2.5 times actual salary cost with expenses charged at a rate of 1.1 times actual invoice cost. At the present time, it is impossible to accurately estimate the total work effort and associated fee amount which will be required for said services. However, due to the preparatory effort we have expended and the closeness of the date for the public hearing, we expect additional expenditures to be approximately $6,400. Therefore, we request an increase in the fee cap by $9,600. If this proposal meets with your approval, please indicate in the provided blanks below an estimated fee not to be exceeded, sign both copies and return one to us.

The requeslt was in response to the concern with obtaining easements through privately owned property west of 17th Street, as shown on the~~;original approved plans for this project. The plans were rea,ised to .route the line down 16th Street to Fairmont Parkway, and t~ihe contractor is nearing completion. At the time of this request, City Staff raised quesf,ions about the amount of time and effort needed to change the route. Requests were made to Turner Collie & Braden to provide additional backup material to support the request. Since that time, due in part to various changes in both City and TC&B staff, the matter has been neglected. After a meeting between City staff and TC&B on April' 27, 1986, TC&B submitted further documentation to support the ;time and effort expended to calculate its proposed fee. Numerous meetings including three with the affected property owner, the route surveyor, the railroad, and various pipeline companies were necessary to reroute the project.. Also included were engineer and draftsman manhours necessary to redesign and revisejcontraet drawings. • Page Two Request for Additional Authorization Fairmont Parkway Relief Sanitary Sewer Revisions between 16th Street and Lift Station ~~29 Approximately 96 manhours were necessary to complete the revisions.

The following represents the approved budget for these services. Fairmont Parkway Relief Trunk Sewer $ 20,000 - Main Treatment Plant Expansion 11,000-- TOTAL BUDGET $ 31,000 The approved budget was based on projections submitted by McClelland Engineers in their proposal, calculated from contract drawings and specifications. Since that time, it has become apparent that McClelland Engineers greatly overestimated the amount of work necessary for the Trunk Main project, and underestimated the amount necessary for the plant expansion. Expenditures to date are as follows: Fairmont Parkway Relief Trunk Sewer $ 1,784 Main Treatment Plant Expansion 12,168 TOTAL TO DATE $ 13,952. Page Two Materials Testing Services June 1, 1987 • The following is a representation of a reduced realistic budget for both projects. Fairmont Parkway Relief Trunk Sewer $ 4,000 Main Treatment Plant Expansion 20,000 TOTAL $ 24,000 The updated projection reflects a total reduction of $7,000 over the original estimate. Because this is a professional service based on unit prices approved by Council, no Council action is necessary. However, Council should be provided an update on this matter through an administrative report at the next council meeting.

Herrera, Cit~j Manager ~,~, R T' ` '~c.w e SUBJECT: EMS/Fire Facility ~+, 1987 :o~.~c. ~~Yr~ SCC.~~v~ ~, i~w~l A need currently exists to relocate the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division of the City of La Porte. The Division is now located in a temporary facility in the 1000 block of South 8th Street. The facility provides very poor living and working conditions for the EMS personnel who must work 24-hour shifts. As you are aware, the number of La Porte EMS personnel has grown from eight (8) full-time employees to fifteen (15) within the last year. They are housed in a building which is approximately 1500 sq. ft. Several alternatives to the present facility have been investigated. The most cost-effective and service responsive solution is a new EMS facility located on City owned property known as the Fire Training property. This location decision is made on long-term benefits, to be derived, coupled with fiscal reasoning. It would be in the City's best financial interest to spend a little more money now than what was budgeted. Economic conditions are favorable for construction costs associated with labor and materials for building a new facility. Further, developing our own building allows the •City to retain funds it currently pays for rent ($8U5.00 month). In addition, by building on our own piece of property, the City keeps from taking another piece of property off of the tax rolls. Compared to the facility needs, the funds available for this project are extremely limited ($100,000.00). In all likelihood the cost to relocate our EMS Division will cost more than what was budgeted. To resolve the anticipated shortfall, staff is preparing some creative financing other than tapping into the General Fund directly. Before staff proceeds further with this project, we will come to the City Council for further direction. • • EMS/Fire Facility Page 2 of 2 Since we will need to derive the maximum benefit from each dollar spent, I recommend retaining through negotiation the services of an architect experienced in the design of municipal service facilities. An architect will provide four (4) important quality control elements needed to insure that our tax dollar is wisely spent. 1. That a maximum useful floor space is obtained. 2. That a cost effective structure is designed with regards to a heating and ventilation system. 3. That appropriate building finishes are of specifications for commercial grade. 4. Building will be architecturally designed for future expansion and growth in an orderly and documented manner. Attached please find an in-house proposal on the present and long-term EMS needs prepared jointly by the City's Fire Department along with the City's Police Department. RTH/jb Attachment: (1) • REPORT AND PROPOSAL ON PRESENT AND LONG TERM NEEDS OF EMERGENCY ~1EDICAL SERVICES DIVISION PREPARED for ROBERT HERRERA CITY P~'~AGER CITY OF LA PORTS, TEXAS C PREPARED by FIRE CIiIEF JOE SEASE POLICE CHIEF CIiARLES SPiITH ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF JOHN C. DUNHAM SUBMITTED by JOHN DUNIiAM ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF FEBRUAP.Y 10, 1937 ~. This report and proposal is a combined effort of the Fire and Police Departments staff to offer potential solutions for future housing of the Emergency Medical Services Division. GOALS A.ND 013JECTIVES The goals and objectives are to identify the present and long term needs of the Emergency Medical Services Division of the City of La Porte, and to offer possible solutions for those needs. The Emergency Medical Services Division (EMS), of the City of La Porte, is currently housed in a small, crowded, temporary facility in the 1000 block of South Eighth Street. The facility has no means for housing the three (3) ambulances inside, out of the weather, and very poor living quarters for the personnel who work twenty-four (24) hour shifts. C_ Information provided to me from Police Chief Smith is that there has been a search for options to solve the problems of the Emergency Medical Services Division since January 5, 1987. ALTERPJATIVES DISCUSSED ARE AS FOLLOtJS 1. Purchasing an older home and remodeling it to convert it to the necessary needs. This could involve extensive remodeling which could exceed the budgeted amount of $100,000 and not solve the long term problem. 2. The new Fire Station II building and site coas discussed.- Due to the non-availability of space on the site, and the increased travel distance and response time because of the location of the site, it was found to be unsuitable. ~ ~ .- C C 3. The soon to be vacated Fire Station II located on Hillridge in Fairmont Park was discussed. "his alternative vas discarded because of; lack of room for expansion, longer response times, primarily residential area, and not enough room to house all three ambulances inside out of the weather. 4. Existing commercial type unoccupied buildings in town were investigated. Problems encountered were the costs involved in renovating or remodeling to suit the needs, adequate ingress and egress for ambulances, and increased response times due to non-centralized locations. 5. Property presently owned by the City was examined and found that there was only one piece of property that fit the criteria set forth for the project. CRITERIA FOR SELECTING SUITABLE LOCATION AND STRUCTURE TO ROUSE THE ErIS C 1. Centralized location in the City to provide quick access to the three (3) major areas of town, via major streets and freeways. 2. Accessible to utility needs. 3. Preferably on land already owned by the City., 4. The structure should fulfill the present and long term needs, by allowing for building expansion, for apparatus and equipment, and necessary personnel. • The Fire Department staff has been discussing and dracaing various layouts of buildings and types of construction to come in around the $100,00 budget. The City recently purchased a five (S) acre parcel of land north of Public ~•:orks, to build the Fire Training Facility. 1Je feel there would be ample land to allocate a portion of the southwest corner of the property on which to construct the Emergency Medical Services Station. This will allow all the money budgeted to go into the structure and utilities by not having to purchase land. The utility and street improvements to the area could benefit the Fire Training Field, the EPSS Station, and the impound yard east of the Public ~Jorks Center. C The preliminary layout ideas for a structure include a four bay station of approximately 4000 square feet, located and designed in such a manner to allow for expansion in several directions, with ample storage space, dormitory and kitchen facilities, and office. SUP'Il~IARY The committee consisting of myself, Fire Chief Joe Sease, and Police Chief Charles Smith, assigned to investigate this project, presently feel the best solution to remedy the needs of the Emergency Medical Services Division, is to proceed caith the idea of constructing a new EPZS Station on a portion of the property near the Public TJorks Center for the the Fire Training Facility, as this is in the best interest of the City of La Porte. espectfully submitted; J hn C.
