The Developer will obtain all necessary permits and approvals from the City and all other governmental officials and agencies having jurisdiction (including the approvals required under the La Porte Agreement), provide supervision of all phases of construction of the Public Improvements, provide periodic reports as requested and required by the La Porte Authority of such construction to the La Porte Board with copies to the City, and cause the construction to be performed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications. 4.2 Design of the Public Improvements. Prior to the commencement of construction or implementation of the Public Improvements, the Plans and Specifications must be submitted to and approved by the City and all other regulatory authorities having jurisdiction. Once the City has approved the Plans and Specifications, no changes thereto can be made without the express written approval of the City, the Zone Board, and the La Porte Authority. Both Port Crossing and Lakes at Fairmont Greens have taken bids in anticipation of securing final approval from the City, Harris County Infrastructure, Harris County Flood Control and TxDOT. Unfortunately, neither project has received full 100% approval although each is close. Since the Board/Authority is meeting to approve the annual budget on September 13, I decided to place the approval of bids on the agenda on a "conditional basis". If the Board/Authority approves conditionally, then this might save some time when the other agencies have acted. For Item 4: Port Crossing recommended conditions are: • Approval of plans and specifications by o Harris County Infrastructure o Harris County Flood Control o City of La Porte o TxDOT Permit • Meeting terms of the City of La Porte SCUP, approved General Plan, Development Agreement and approval of covenants and restrictions • See letter dated August 3, 2003 and email response NOTE: Also depending on TxDOT and City review of traffic impact analysis for SH146 feeder road, the developer may be required at a later date to dedicate and install acceleration/deceleration lanes and/or traffic control devices. For Item 5: Lakes @ Fairmont Greens Section I the recommended conditions are: • Approval of plans and specifications by o Harris County Flood Control o City of La Porte • Terms/conditions of letter dated July 10, 2006 and email dated August 28/September 5 • The SCUP and General Plan • For the offsite work delivery of easements for installation of sewer and drainage improvements (future) PORT CROSSING LAND, L.P. 3330 S.

C?.—Y 7.r;,�,i„iaGER Date: July 21, 2006 Re: Bids for Port Crossing Infrastructure Contract (TIRZ No. 1) Dear David & John: We requested and received bids on June 14, 2006 for the above referenced project. One addendum was included in the bid. On June 27, 2006, we requested and received bid clarifications from each contractor including, specifically, bids for 10-inch reinforced concrete pavement as requested by Harris County. In total, we received three (3) complete bid packages from Angel Brothers Enterprises, - Ltd., Durwood Greene Construction, L.P., and Harris Construction Company, Ltd. A fourth company, W.T. Byler, LP, submitted a bid on June 14, 2006, however, they were not competitive and chose not to submit a bid on June 27, 2006. The low bidder for the project is Angel Brothers Enterprises, Ltd. and we hereby recommend them for approval by the Board of Directors of the TIRZ. Angel Brothers Enterprises has a great reputation and long history of quality projects in the area. Attached for your review are the original bid package, prepared by Goldston Engineering, Inc., Addendum # 1, and the request for bid clarifications dated June 23, 2006. Also attached are the original bids, a bid summary, bid clarifications, and a revised bid summary. Our construction plans and master plat have been re -submitted to the City of La Porte and Harris County for final review. We anticipate approval within the next week or two and expect very few changes that would affect our bids. We would like to request a TIRZ Board meeting on or around August 2, 2006, if possible, to review and approve the attached bids and authorize execution of a contract with the low bidder. We are anxious to begin construction at the earliest possible date. Please call me with any questions you may have or if you need any additional information.

Sam Houston Pkwy. East Houston, TX 77047 Re: Construction Drawings & Specifications For Port Crossing and Review of Bids By the TIRZ #1/Redevelopment Authority Dear Mr. Plank: Per Article 4.2 of the TIRZ #1/Redevelopment Authority Reimbursement Agreement, the City and other appropriate jurisdictions are to approve the construction plans and specifications. As you know the submittal and review process for these drawings has been very fluid, often with corrections and comments being incorporated "on the fly." It is my understanding that the drawings and specifications are close to final approval by the City and other agencies involved in the review. Prior to submittal of bids to TIRZ #1/Redevelopment Authority the following approvals must be received. *City of La Porte *Harris County Flood Control District *TxDOT *Harris County Infrastructure After final approvals are received we will ask for confirmation of the bids since they pre -date final approval of the plans. Once the approvals and bid confirmation is received, we will confirm a date for a meeting of the TIRZ #1/Redevelopment Authority. We will need at least one week for time to prepare and post an agenda. Additionally, there are some outstanding peripheral issues related to the SCUP, covenants, and City of La Porte Development Agreement. To address these items, please contact Wayne Sabo, Director of Planning. JJ/ml c: Hilda Scott, P.E., Goldston Engineering, Inc. David Hawes, TIRZ Consultant. .

Currently, we have approvals and/or permits from TxDOT regarding the waterline crossing at SH 146 and the two roadway connections at Export Drive and Wharton Weems Blvd. We are also conducting a Warrant Study for the Wharton Weems Blvd./SH 146 intersection to determine the need for full signalization and the potential need for acceleration and deceleration lanes. Harris County engineering/permits had no comments on our last set of plans. Precinct Two is also up to date on our progress. Harris County Flood Control District is simply waiting for a letter from the City of La Porte regarding the long-term maintenance of the detention ponds and drainage channel within Port Crossing. This is required because we are abandoning the current 100-foot drainage easement as part of the Port Crossing master plat and replacing it with a regional detention pond. We have inserted language in our Development Agreement and CCRs to assure the City that we will be responsible for all maintenance as a developer and, ultimately, a commercial property owners association. If you need any further assurances regarding the long-term maintenance, please let us know and we will accommodate. Regarding the SCUP, Development Agreement, and CCRs, I believe we have made all the changes that were agreed to with Clark Askins and Wayne Sabo and are ready to proceed. If any additional changes are required, we are more than happy to review and make any reasonable changes necessary. Rodney Slaton is meeting with Goldston Engineering today to review the final changes to the plans. We anticipate resubmitting the plans to the City for review on Monday. We will keep you and your staff abreast of our progess and notify you when the plans have been approved by the appropriate jurisdictions. Thank you again for your assistance in these matters.

JJ 9/8/2006 AGENDA ITEM 6: DISCUSS TIRZ GUIDELINES ORIGINALLY ADOPTED BY THE CITY At the time of creation of the TIRZ there were some political concerns/issues relating to what we should do or shouldn't do for development in the TIRZ (some of this attributable to the first developer/applicant). This resulted in a policy that is hard to administer and may/may not be fair to other developments on the horizon (Retreat at Bay Forest/The Preserve at Taylor Bayou). Most cities with a TIRZ have adopted straight percentage participation for infrastructure. Although the guidelines were approved by City Council I felt it appropriate to review with the Board/Authority and receive any input/direction. Discussion will be expanded and examples will be provided at the meeting.
