Summary & Recommendation
As part of the FY 96-97 Budget for Capital Improvement Projects, City Council approved
$100,000 for the installation of three diHerent water line extensions. One project begins at
Baypark Road on Fairmont Parkway, and ends at Driftwood. Another project is one block
south of FairmOllt Parkway and connects existing water lines from 16th Street to 18th Street.
The third project replaces about 400 feet of undersized water line along Texas Avenue just
north of Fairmont Parkway. Design and engineering were performed on this project
utilizing City staff. On August 15, 1997, the City received competitive bids from three
qualified utility contractors (see attached Bid Tabulation). The low bid was submitted by
Johnny Wehba Backhoe Service of La Porte in the amount of $90,774.60.
Staff has reviewed the bids submitted and determined the low bid from Johnny Wehba
Backhoe Service is within the budgeted amount and Johnny Wehba Backhoe Service is
qualified to perform this work. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City
Manager to execu.te a contract with Johnny Wehba Backhoe Service in the amount of
$90,774.60 for construction of the various water line extensions. In addition, it is
recommended that $9,225.40 (rem~ining budgeted amount) be set aside as contingency for a
total of $100,000 for the project.
Action Required by Council:
Consider approving an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with
Johnny Wehba Backhoe Service in the amount of $90,774.60 for construction of the water
lines and further authorizing $9,225.40 to be set aside for contingency.

Exhibits: Recap of Repair Estimates on Vehicle # 87-05
SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
On July 8, 1997, Dump Truck No. 87-05 was involved in an accident
at Hwy 146 and Barbour's Cut Blvd. Extensive damage was done to the
unit. The unit is a 1997 International Dump Truck purchased in the
1996/97 Budget Year at a cost of $38,547.00.
Competitive bids for this type of repair fall under the general
exemption from municipal purchasing statutes "due to procurement
necessary due to unforeseen damage to public machinery, equipment or
other propertyU". For this reason, estimates for repairs were requested
from four (4) area repair shops with three (3) returning estimates and
one (1) No bid. Several other repair shops were contacted and declined
to give estimates. The lowest estimate was submitted by Bayou City Ford
in the amount of $18,720.59.
Staff recommends Bayou City Ford be authorized to repair the unit.
All estimates do not include any hidden damage found during repairs.
For this reason, it is recommended a total amount authorized for
repairs be set at $20,000. Funds for repairs are budgeted in the
Equipment Services FY 96/97 Operating Budget.
Action Required by Council: Authorize repairs on unit 87-5 to Bayou
City Ford in the amount not to exceed $20,000.
