Re:
Construction of Soccer Association Concession/Restroom Building
----,.-':."
Historv
On August 12, 1996, the City of La Porte entered into an agreement with the La
Porte Youth Soccer Association to construct a concession/restroom facility at Northwest
Park. The Association provided $35,000 toward construction and the City pledged $20,000
. toward the. building for a total budget of $55;000. The City provided plans and
specifications for a structure that, based on estimates from a local builder, would be within
budget.
After plan approval by the Association, the City took the project out for bid. When
the bids were opened on 1 December 1997, the only bidder, Derk Hannsen Construction
submitted a bid for $92,000 for construction of the building ($37,OOO over projected
budget). The company who had given the $55,000 estimate declined to bid ()n the project,
citing difficulties in obtaining the required bonds.
PIODosal
The Soccer Association President, Randy Sayers, has proposed an alternate
method of funding the building. As an employee of Morehouse Construction, Inc., Mr.
Sayers has received permission from his company to:
1. propose some minor changes in design of the building and have tlhem stamped
by the appropriate professional (Le. cinderblock construction rather than brick
fa~ade, and relocation of interior walls).
2. prepare cost estimates which show that the building can be built felr +/- $50,000.
by Morehouse Construction, Inc.
3. develop an agreement between the Soccer Association and Morehouse
Construction, Inc. to construct a building meeting the new plans and
specifications at Northwest Park on behalf of the City and the Association for an
amount not to exceed $50,000.
In order to make this proposal work, the City would:
1. give back the $35,000 plus interest of $3,277 (through 28 February 1998), as
was stipulated in the original agreement
2. develop a new agreement with the Soccer Association to provide lip to $15,000
e
--
Council soccer building, page 2
to the association upon completion of the building, meeting approved plans and
specifications. After construction and acceptance of the building by the City, the
Soccer Association would d~ the building to the City. The agreement would
include performance and payment bonds and other considerations, as required,
to provide a structure that will meet the needs of the Soccer Association at
Northwest Park.
3. r~quire prior approval of the agreement between the Soccer Association and
Morehouse Construction, Inc.
4. provide periodic inspections to assure that the structure meets necessary
building code obligations.
5.. provide some minimal utility and site work for the project
Benefits
The primary benefit of the proposal is that it provides a structure that, when
completed, will:.1.)...belong to the City of La Porte, 2) meet the present and future needs of
the La Porte Youth Soccer Association, and 3) is within the original proposed budget In
essence, this 'proposal represents a very substantial $35,000 + gift to the City of La Porte
by the association. Granted, they will also benefit from the project, but the end result is
that the City gets a $50,000 building for $15,000 with the same protections and
assurances as would be the case if we had been able to award a contract to Harmsen
Construction, but at a substantial cost savings to the City.
Summary
In order to proceed, it is necessary to develop and modify the aforementioned
construction agreement between the City and the Association, as well as modification of
the existing opeta~ng agreement with the Association to include operation of the restroom
and concession facility. The proposal has been reviewed with Mr. Askins and he is
comfortable with it from a legal standpoint. Mr. Askins is currently reviewing those
documents and preparing the necessary changes, as well as preparing to approve the .
agreement between the Assodation and Morehouse Construction, Inc. when it is drawn
up. Morehouse Construction, Inc. is preparing the plan and specification changes as
described above. Upon completion of the requiSite information and documentation, and.
upon approval by the Soccer Association Board, the modified operating agreement and
th~ new construction agreement will be presented to Council for approval, probably at the
April 13th meeting.
If you have additional questions or if I can be of assistance, please do not hesitate
to give me a call.

Agreement Between Owner and Architect
Summary & Recommendation
To provide qualified professional assistance for the development of Seabreeze Park, staff sent out a Request for
Qualifications to Architectural firms with a demonstrated ability in the area of park development and
construction. Staff identified a top respondent; the firm of Randall - Porterfield Architects, Inc., located in
Clear Lake Shores.
Staff has negotiate.d an agreement which outlines the architectural services required for this park project. Under
this agreement, Randall-Porterfield will provide professional architectural services pertaining to development of
a Master Park Site Plan, and final design and construction contract documents. The Architect will be guided by
the "Development Report and Recommendation to Council" by the Seabreeze Citizens Development
Committee. The preliminary cost estimate for the anticipated improvements is $475,000.
The Agreement with Randall-Porterfield establishes a lump sum fee in the amount of $42,750 which includes the
Architect's basic services for design of the total park improvements anticipated by the "Development Report",
plus additional services for securing permits from the Texas General Land Office and the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers.
Currently, there is $198,158 available for the design and construction of the park. $42,750 would be used to
design the facilities with the remainder ($155,408) being used for construction. Additional facilities will be

XXX Report __ Resolution --.- Ordinance
Exhibits: Report from Louis Rigby, Director of Administrative Services
SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
On March 7,1998, a police patrol unit was involved in an accident at the intersection of West G Street and South
8th Street. Damage to the patrol car is estimated at $5t696. The unit is a 1993 Chevrolet Caprice with 98,957
miles, and is scheduled for replacement in the upcoming budget year. The vehicle will be fully funded in the
Motor Pool Fund in September 98.
The vendor for this ye:ar's patrol car replacement has offered a new vehicle that meets specifications for a total
cost of $20,298. This is $200 higher than the bid approved by Council on November 24,1997, and represents the
cost to meet the City's requirement that all patrol vehicles be keyed alike. Because the vehicle was not ordered
from the factory, the additional cost is required to change the steering column locks.
The City is pursuing a claim against the driver of the other car, and may recoup damages. Because of the
unforeseen damages to public property, the City Council may declare the purchase an emergency and exempt the
purchase from sealed bid.
Action Required by Council: Declare an emergency and authorize the purchase of a police patrol vehicle
from Philpott Ford in the amount of $20,298.

SUBJECT:
Police Vehicle Replacement
On March 7, 1998, one of our patrol officers was en route to a disturbance call at the
Kettle Restaurant. A vehicle was stopped at the stop sign at G Street and South 81h,
then proceeded into the intersection without yielding the right of way to the patrol car.
The officer swerved to miss the other vehicle and went into the ditch, damaging the
patrol car. The other vehicle was not damaged and there were no injuries.
The Equipment Services Division of Public Works got estimates to repair the patrol car
and they range from $3,980 to $5,696. The lower amount did not include any repairs to
the frame whic:h the other two, comparabl~ quotes did. The damaged unit, number 53-
59, is a 1993 Chevrolet Caprice. It is scheduled to be replaced in the 1998-1999 budget
year and will be fully funded in September of this year. At that time, there will be
$22,447 set aside to replace this vehicle.
I spoke to Jeff Litchfield, Steve Gillett, and Bobby Powell and all agree on the following
course of action. Rather than repair a damaged vehicle with 98,957 miles, which is
scheduled for replacement in the next budget year, we propose that we purchase a new
model this year.
Susan Kelley called Philpott Ford, the dealer who was awarded the bid for patrol cars,
and found that they have extra vehicles which closely match our specifications. The
cost of the new car would be $20,298, which is $200 higher than the bid approved by
Council on November 24, 1997. The dealer claims the additional cost is associated with
our requirement that all police vehicles are keyed alike, and to meet this specification,
after factory, costs more.
We can exempt this item from sealed bid due to unforeseen damage to public property,
and place it on the agenda for the Council meeting of April 13lh, with you approval. If
you need additional information, please call.
