O0089 Zone Case No. 2383-C (4801 Erskine Street) Request of Randy
Egenbacher (for North Loop Properties) for zoning change from AM to C -
2A on 2.72 acres out of Tract G, Physician's Surgicenter of Lubbock
Addition.
ORDINANCE NO. 2007-O0089
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 7084 AND THE
OFFICIAL MAP OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK MAKING THE FOLLOWING
CHANGES: ZONE CASE NO. 2383-C; A ZONING CHANGE FROM AM TO C -2A
ZONING ON 2.72 ACRES OUT OF TRACT G, PHYSICIAN'S SURGICENTER OF
LUBBOCK ADDITION, LUBBOCK, TEXAS; PROVIDING A PENALTY; SUBJECT
TO CONDITIONS; PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE AND PROVIDING FOR
PUBLICATION.
City Council held a public hearing and considered the first reading of the
ordinance amendment on August 23, 2007. The applicant is requesting that a
portion of the area zoned as Apartment Medical (AM) adjacent to Erskine
Street between North Utica and North Vale be rezoned Commercial 2-A (C2 -A)
to provide light commercial services to the medical area.
Adjacent land uses:
N
Residential
S
Zoned AM
E
Zoned AM
W
Zoned AM
The request is not entirely consistent with the current Comprehensive Land Use
Plan for the area because there is a large presence of medical and apartment
zoning within the 200 acre triangle, and the current plan illustrates commercial
at Slide Road and Erskine Street and along Loop 289 frontage. The Planning
Regular City Council Meeting
September 13, 2007
Commission recommendation to City Council contains language that indicates
the case represents a minor change to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan
amendment adopted as the "master plan" for the area. No citizens appeared at
the meeting.
The applicant notes an interest of the developing medical community to have a
small area of light commercial on Erskine Street in the immediate vicinity to
provide retail to serve the adjacent medical related development. The primary
issue for the request is the existence of residential across Erskine Street to the
north. Erskine Street is in the process of being developed as a full thoroughfare
and the two residential lots across Erskine Street.
The applicant has requested to be tied to a proposed site plan, with the ability to
make minor building location adjustments as actual plans are developed for the
strip center. With the deep 103 -foot parking on the front, and AM on three
sides, there should be no perceptible land use disruption to the area that the
current AM zoning would not cause. The important factor is the areas to the
south, east and west are zoned AM and not residential.
With the proposed two curb cuts on Erskine Street, one primary in the center
and smaller drive on the west end, the impact on traffic should be minimal. The
center will have a curb return onto North Utica Avenue for customers to get
back into the medical area or to get to Erskine Street at a controlled
intersection.
Staff supports the recommendation of the Planning Commission subject to the
following condition:
1. Tied to the proposed site plan with the ability to adjust building locations in
a very minor manner as the final plans are drawn.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.
The staff supports the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
5.3. Ordinance Amendment 2nd Reading - Zoning: Ordinance No. 2007-O0090
Zone Case No. 3018-A (north of Glenna Goodacre Boulevard and east of
Avenue X) Request by McDougal Construction (for McCanton Woods LC)
for zoning change to amend the conditions and site plan from Ordinance
No. 2004-00111 on Proposed Tract 5A, Overton Park Addition..
ORDINANCE NO. 2007-O0090
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 7084 AND THE
OFFICIAL MAP OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK MAKING THE FOLLOWING
CHANGES: ZONE CASE NO. 3018-A; A ZONING CHANGE AMENDING THE
CONDITIONS AND SITE PLAN FROM ORDINANCE 2004-00111 ON PROPOSED
TRACT 5A, OVERTON PARK ADDITION, LUBBOCK, TEXAS; PROVIDING A
PENALTY; SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS; PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE AND
PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
City Council held a public hearing and considered the first reading of the
ordinance amendment on August 23, 2007. The existing site (Tract 5, Overton
Park) is zoned Apartment (A-3) Specific Use for an apartment project different
from the proposed project. With the Specific Use Permit, the zoning is tied to a
site plan. The proposed site plan for Tract 5A needs to be changed for the new
project and a future zone case will be requested to adjust the proposed land use
on what will be replatted as Tract 5B. The objective of the structure is to mirror
the style, materials, and architecture of the current Centre on University without
the commercial component. All of the use will be multi -family (apartments).
Adjacent land uses:
N Vacant, zoned A-3 Specific Use
S Vacant
E Vacant
W Commercial
Regular City Council Meeting
September 13, 2007
The project meets the amended Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the Overton
North rehabilitation and zoning policy.
The Planning Commission recommended the case subject to the following
conditions:
1. A decrease in setback from 15 feet to 10 feet on 6th and 8th Streets and to
14 feet on Avenue X.
2. The proposed site plan.
3. The proposed trash enclosures shall be within a solid enclosure on three

City Council considered the first reading of the ordinance, on August 23, 2007.
The ordinance abandons and closes a 20 -foot wide north and south alley in
Block 226, Original Town of Lubbock, located north of 19th Street and west of
Avenue L. David Alderson owns the entire block except the southwest corner
owned by Advanced Electronics. All utility companies and the property owners
are in agreement with the alley closure. The alley area will be used for parking.
Since the requestor of the closure is not the original dedicator of the alley, there
will be a charge for the closure. The total area of the alley being closed is 6,120
square feet and will remain as an access and underground utility easement. The
Right -of -Way Department has determined a value of $2 per square foot based
on adjacent property land values.
The total amount due to the City is $6,120 based on an assessment of $12,240 x
50% easement valuation.
FISCAL IMPACT
$6,120 revenue.
Staff recommended approval of the second reading of this ordinance.

engineering firm for the project. The ordinance abandons and closes all
drainage, utility, garbage collection, and guy wire easements located just west
of Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and south of East 24th Street in the
Coronado Addition Tract A. The closures allow the Lubbock Housing

The headworks located at the Southeast Water Reclamation Plant (SEWRP)
consist of a lift station, mechanical bar screens, and grit removal system. The
mechanical bar screen removes rags and large debris that enter with the raw
wastewater. The process protects infrastructure and the ability to pump water to
additional treatment facilities. The SEWRP has two mechanical bar screens that
are used daily to remove material. During high rainfalls and high influent flow
into the plant, both of the screens are needed. One of the screen's rake and drive
track recently failed. Without both bar screens there is a potential for raw
wastewater to backup and flow into the Blackwater Draw east of the SEWRP
creating potential risk to the health and safety of the public.
Staff, working in conjunction with Black and Veatch, have evaluated and
redesigned the headworks facility to provide a more efficient and effective
facility. The design includes fine screen mechanical bar screens and a
refurbished mechanical bar screen to use when other equipment is down for
maintenance or repairs.
This agenda item is for an emergency purchase to refurbish and overhaul the
mechanical bar screen due to failure at the headworks at the SEWRP. The
refurbishment is being done with Vulcan parts, which is the manufacturer of the
equipment. Vulcan's representative, BW Services of Wichita Falls, Texas, is
providing the service.

A total of $850,000 was appropriated in Capital Improvement Project No.

This project involves the relocation of the two primary discharge mains from
Pump Station 7, which delivers water to the southwestern part of Lubbock.
Water production from the pump station had to use an alternate discharge main
to meet the demands of the service area. This severely constricted the capability
of the pump station to meet the water consumption demands of the service area.
An emergency situation arose that warranted the issuance of a water use
restriction at a higher stage. The restriction caused concern about whether the
system could supply sufficient water for fire fighting if a major fire event were
to occur in the service area. Water restrictions also caused a major impact on
some Lubbock businesses. City staff directed Utility Contractors of America
(UCA) to complete this project ahead of the contracted schedule using all
available means.
The Change Order No. 4 covers the expenses incurred by UCA in order to
complete the project in a timely fashion. The Change Order also includes
materials and labor to redesign the pipeline to avoid conflicts with a fiber optic
duct bank, indicated as abandoned on original plans. The expenses included
performance of work utilizing two additional groups of construction crews
outside the normal contracted work hours, contracting additional services from
welders to complete the project ahead of schedule, and utilizing additional
fittings and appurtenances.
FISCAL IMPACT
The following recommendation is for Change Order No. 4 for a total of
$111,101. The percent of value for this change order is 4.93% of the total
contract amount. The Change Order brings the new contract total to $2,553,237.

The contract amendment involves additional engineering services to complete
the plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for Erskine Street from
Frankford Avenue to Salem Avenue and Slide Road from North Loop 289 to
Erskine Street paving and drainage improvements.
The original agreement include advance planning of the Northwest Passage
project. Tasks included public involvement, route studies, preparation of design
schematics, environmental assessments, and preparation of preliminary
estimates. Advance planning included all of the proposed individual projects
making up the Northwest Passage project, including:
• Erskine Street from Frankford Avenue .o Salem Avenue
• Slide Road from North Loop 289 to Erskine Street
• Slide Road from 4th Street to North Loop 289
• Slide Road from Erskine Street to Clovis Hwy. (U.S. 84)
• Loop 289 from SW of 4th Street to NE of Quaker Avenue
• Loop 289 interchange at 4th Street
• Loop 289 interchange at Quaker Avenue and Erskine Street
• New grade separation at Slide Road and North Loop 289
Amendment No. 1 provided additional services for the advance planning and
authorized detailed engineering for PS&E on Erskine Street from Frankford
Avenue to Salem Avenue and on Slide Road from North Loop 289 to Erskine
Street.

Amendment No. 2 provided a time extension (due to the review time required
by the Texas Department of Transportation and Federal Highway
Administration) for the advance planning.
Amendment No. 3 provides for additional services needed to complete PS&E
for Erskine Street and Slide Road engineering services authorized by
Amendment No. 1.
Due to drainage issues, the scope of work has expanded from the original
negotiated work tasks. The drainage issues included subsurface drainage storm
sewers, surface drainage problems, and playa lake design concerns.
Compensation is requested by HNTB corporation for the following services:
Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) Investigations: The work will be
performed by a subconsultant, Gorrondona and Associates. The SUE was not
originally in the scope for design work. However, the need to increase the size
of the storm sewer has evolved during the design process, and HNTB
recommended that the SUE be performed. There are many potential conflicts
with water, sanitary sewer, and other underground utilities related to the design
location and depth of the proposed storm sewer. Even though there is no
guarantee that all possible underground conflicts can be identified, the SUE will
reduce the risk of having conflicts which could result in delays and potential
claims from a contractor once construction has commenced. The Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT) recently utilized the services of the
subconsultant to perform a SUE on Phase 3B of the Marsha Sharp Freeway and
was satisfied with the results of the investigation.
Updated Utility Location & Relocation Mapping and Plans: Based on the
results of the SUE investigation, the consultant will provide updated utility
layout sheets. Prior to paving, the consultant will work with the Water Utilities
Engineering Department to incorporate new location and relocation plans for
water and sanitary sewer lines into the construction plans. The water and
sanitary sewer lines will be bid as part of the paving construction project.
Design Surveys for Roadway Design: Additional surveying required to obtain
floor elevations of adjacent structures to Erskine Street that were not included
in the original scope of work.
Surveys for Right -of -Way (ROW)/ Map & Deed Preparation: At the property
owner's request, the alignment of the storm sewer outfall line into Playa Lake
No. 51, located on the NE corner of Loop 289 and Quaker Avenue, was revised
for development purposes, thus creating additional storm sewer and
construction easement surveys, parcel map, and deed preparation requirements
that were not included in the original scope of work. Also, at the property
owner's request at Playa Lake No. 47, located at North Loop 289 and Slide
Road, the cut and fill for Slide Road will include fill on the uphill side of Slide
Road so that earth moving equipment will not have to cross the newly
constructed portion of Slide Road. The fill operation is consistent with other
City projects constructed through playa lakes, but was not anticipated when the
original scope of work was negotiated. This resulted in additional surveying
map and deed preparation for the cut area of the playa lake, and the fill
easement area obtained from the property owner. An additional drainage
easement for the design of Slide Road, not identified during the original scope
of the project, will require additional surveying, parcel map, and deed
preparation.
Drainage: (1) The Erskine StreetlFrankford Avenue intersection was identified
as an existing drainage problem, with the intent of reconstructing the
intersection with concrete paving and correcting the current drainage problems.
However, when the original engineering agreement was negotiated, it was not
known that a significant amount of design and construction work would be
required northward on Frankford Avenue (FM 2528). The additional proposed
scope of work includes analyzing the ability to re -grade the existing ditches
northward on Frankford Avenue approximately one half mile and preparing
plans for construction. Contingent on TxDOT approval. The grading could
result in deeper ditches with steeper slopes which may exceed TxDOT
Regular City Council Meeting
September 13, 2007
standards. If TxDOT does not approve the re -grading, existing plans will have
to be modified to remove the intersection reconstruction.
Drainage: (2) PS&E for the proposed box culvert northward from Erskine
Street along the Loop 289 frontage road is beyond the original scope of work.
Upon analysis, it was determined a larger storm sewer box would be required,
and the outfall would need to extend to Playa Lake No. 51.
Traffic Control: With the additional length of storm sewer, additional traffic
control plans are required for construction along and crossing the frontage road
and Quaker Avenue.
Project Management/Quality Assurance: The engineer estimates three
additional months of work to complete project meetings, progress meetings,
reports, internal meetings, sub -consultant coordination, communication with the
City, and quality assurance measures on the expanded work items.
Task S-1 PS&E Modifications to Eliminate Frankford Avenue Intersection with
Erskine Street Reconstruction: If it is determined that the intersection will not
be reconstructed, Modified Amendment No. 3 will be authorized to- delete the
intersection reconstruction and modify several portions of the plans sheets,
including Index, Typical Sections, Demolition, Traffic Control, Layout Sheets,
Plan & Profile Sheets, Intersection Detail and Grading Sheets, Utility,
Illumination, Signing and Marking, Quantities and Estimate Sheets, and others.
FISCAL IMPACT
Amendment No. 3 compensation is $171,281, for a total lump sum
compensation for PS&E services for Erskine Street and Slide Road of
$1,419,561. Should Modified Amendment No. 3 be authorized, compensation
will be $191,727, for a total lump sum compensation of $1,440,007 for PS&E
services.

The project is the first phase in the development of a three-plex designed Little
League Baseball Field at Maxey Park to be used by Southwest Little League.
Construction will include two baseball fields, irrigation, two press boxes, a
concession stand, lighting, fencing, and ADA accessible parking. This will
establish a tournament grade facility.
The fields will increase the quality of life by providing physical activities,
especially for children. A modern Little League Baseball facility will contribute
to community appearance.
The project was approved by Ordinance No. 2006-00008 January 31, 2006, and
funded FY 2006 Certificates of Obligation. The complex will be located on
27th Street and Nashville Avenue. The facilities are slated to open during the
2008 ball season.
Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043(d-1) provides that a contract for
certain types of construction projects may be awarded using the competitive
sealed proposal procedure prescribed by Section 271.116 of the Texas Local
Government Code. Using the competitive sealed proposal procedure is intended
to help local governments attract contractors who otherwise may not have an
interest in participating on the basis of low bid and gives us the ability to bring
the project in within budget with the contractor who offers the best value. This
is compared to an ITB that limits us to basing contract award on the lowest bid,
which may be over budget requiring us either to search for additional funds or
start the bid process all over.
Selection criteria used in this RFP includes 30% price, 40% contractor
qualifications, statement of qualifications, resume and references of job
superintendent, 10%, safety record questionnaire and 20% construction time.
The following general contractors submitted proposals and were evaluated and
ranked in relation to the published selection criteria as follows:
• W.R. Construction of Lubbock, Texas proposed a project cost of
$1,999,394 for the base bid and additive option of $394,247 with the time
for completion of 180 days and scored 467.
• Craig Wallace Construction of Lubbock, Texas proposed a project cost of
$2,030,909 for the base bid and additive option of $358,885 with the time
for completion of 180 days and scored 408.
• Robinson Landscape & Construction of Snyder, Texas proposed a project

In January 2006, Ms. Rosas of 2103 Wausau Avenue petitioned the Water
Utilities Department to construct a water distribution line to her residence. Ms.
Rosas's home, along with two other residences (2101 & 2105 Wausau Avenue),
received notice that the nearby property owner who was providing well water to
their homes was discontinuing water service. Well water service was terminated
in August 2006. Since the residents are south of the Hanna Addition, a 500 foot
water distribution line will need to be constructed from 19th Street to this area.
It took seven months for Ms. Rosas to provide the information necessary to
ifl process the application for service. By July 11, 2006, the Community
Development (CD) Department had completed the work necessary to qualify
Ms. Rosas for assistance and the Water Utilities Department had prepared the
water pro rata contract information for the line extension. When the City
informed Ms. Rosas the amount that she would need to pay for the deposit and
for the pro rata charge for the line extension, she indicated that she could not
afford to pay. The City assisted Ms. Rosas in evaluating the feasibility of
installing a domestic water well on her property. However, concerns about
groundwater quality and the inadequate size of her property prevented this
alternative.
Upon careful review of this unusual situation as well as considering the length
of time that Ms. Rosas has been without water, staff considers this situation a
health and safety issue. Ms. Rosas is hand carrying water from a nearby
residence. She then boils the water before using it. In addition, fire protection
may not be adequate in this area.
Based on the site specific circumstances, staff recommended that the City pay
for the extension to Ms. Rosas' property, and that Ms. Rosa pay for the pro rata
for the width of her property according to Section 28-163. The water
distribution line could also serve two other residences. Each of the residences
will be responsible for the pro -rata charges along the front footage of their
property, but would not pay for the installation of the entire water distribution
line.

$16,670 includes the construction of the 500 -foot water line from 19th Street
