Regular City Council Meeting
June 14, 2007
The request is for a change of zoning from Residential-1 (R-1) to Apartment
Medical (AM) in an area that is within the Medical Policy District as
established by the Comprehensive land Use Plan.
Adjacent land uses:
N — medical and residential
S — medical and residential
E — residential
W — medical
The proposal is among a growing number of rezoning requests along the 24th
Street corridor; the two parcels on the south side of 24th Street and one on the
north of 24th Street to the west are developed as medical. About ten yeazs ago,
the Planning Commission expanded the area south of 19th Street between
Indiana Avenue and Quaker Avenue to the alley south of 24th Street as a
"policy area" that is defined on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as an area in
transition from residential to medical use. Much of the property north of about
22nd Street is already zoned AM. Most of the owners of parcels south of 22nd
Street that have been proposed for redevelopment have asked to change from R-
1 to AM zoning only when a project is eminent. The existing R-1 is left alone
until a project is proposed. The former policy district went to 23rd Street.
The request is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and will
comply with the zoning code when construction is proposed.
The proposal should have no more than the anticipated impact on the
thoroughfare system.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.
The staff supports the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
5.2. Zone Case No. 3054-A (122nd Street and east of Indiana Avenue)
Ordinance 2nd Reading - Zoning: Ordinance No. 2007-00051 request of
Nolan Greak (for Nolan Greak Self-Directed Profit Sharing Plan) for a
zoning change from T to IHC on the east 592.41 feet of Tract A; east 155
feet of Lots 8, 9, 11, and 13; east 185 feet of Lot 14; all of Lots 15, 16, 17,
18, 19, 20, and 21; Huntington Business Park Addition, and to consider an
ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO. 2007-O0051
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 7084 AND THE
OFFICIAL MAP OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK MAKING THE FOLLOWING
CHANGES: ZONE CASE NO. 3054-A; A ZONING CHANGE FROM T TO IHC
ZONING ON THE EAST 592.41 FEET OF TRACT A; EAST 155 FEET OF LOTS 8, 9,
11, AND 13; EAST 185 FEET OF LOT 14; ALL OF LOTS 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, AND
21; HLTNTINGTON BUSINESS PARK ADDITION, LUBBOCK, TEXAS; PROVIDING
A PENALTY; PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR
PUBLICATION.
This is a request to complete Interstate Commercial (IHC) zoning on the
balance of a subdivision that was annexed in 2002 and was zoned IHC. In 2005,
the east portion of the subdivision was annexed and this zone change will
complete the City Council's commitment to the business park developer to zone
the area with a level of zoning is compatible with the majority of the businesses
occupying the area and allow vacant parcels to continue development with
construction permits. Some of the occupants are businesses that will become
nonconforming because the businesses do not comply with all of the IHC
standards, but they were constructed or were under substantial construction
when the annexations were proposed.
Adjacent land uses:
N — vacant
Regular City Council Meeting
June 14, 200?
S — vacant
E — vacant
W — commercial
The addendum for the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the annexed areas has
not been completed. As the addendum is completed, this subdivision will be
illustrated as "commercial" to complete City Council's commitment adequate
zoning.
�,,.,, The proposal will have little additional impact on the thoroughfare system.
The Planning Commission recommended approval by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.
Staff supports the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
5.3. Zone Case No. 2995-D (6210 82nd Street) Ordinance 2nd Reading -
Zoning: Ordi.nance No. 2007-00052 request of Tierra West LLC (for
Discount Tire) for a zoning change from C-2 to C-3 on approximately
1.004 acres (43,750 square feet) of unplatted land out of the southern part
of Section 29, Block AK, and to consider an ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO. 2007-O0052
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 7084 AND THE
OFFICIAL MAP OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK MAKING THE FOLLOWING
CHANGES: ZONE CASE NO. 2995-D; A ZONING CHANGE FROM C-2 TO C-3
ZONING ON APPROXIMATELY 1.004 ACRES (43,750 SQUARE FEET) OF
UNPLATTED LAND OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PART OF SECTION 29, BLOCK AK,
LUBBOCK, TEXAS; PROVIDING A PENALTY; SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS;
PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
r,,, The applicant needs Commercial-3 (C-3) zoning versus the current
Commercial-2 (C-2) zoning to accommodate the proposed use of a Discount
Tire store.
Adjacent land uses:
N — vacant
S — commercial
E — commercial
W — vacant
The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan that
illustrates "commercial" in the area along 82nd Street. The applicant will
comply with zoning policy when the facility is constructed.
Discount Tire intends to build a store very similar to the recently constructed
Discount Tire store at 82nd Street and Avenue X. Building elevations and a site
plan are a part of the conditions proposed by staff and are included in backup.
The store at 82nd Street and Avenue X provides a visual of what the new store
will look like.
The project should have little impact on the thoroughfare system.
The Planning Commission recommended approval with the following
requirement:
"` 1. Tied to the building elevation and site plan as presented.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.
Staff supports the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
5.4. Zone Case No. 3081 (1801 Main Street) Ordinance 2nd Reading - Zoning:
Ordinance No. 00053 request of John A. Sellers (for I& S Investments)
for a zoning change from R-3 to GO Specific Use, for reduced parking and
a 3-story office building with a basement on Lots 1& 2, Block 120,
Overton Addition, and to consider an ordinance.
Regular City Council Meeting
June 14, 2007
ORDINANCE NO. 2007-O0053
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 7084 AND THE
OFFICIAL MAP OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK MAKING THE FOLLOWING
CHANGES: ZONE CASE NO. 3081; A ZONING CHANGE FROM R-3 TO GO
SPECIFIC USE FOR REDUCED PARKING AND A 3-STORY OFFICE BUILDING
WITH A BASEMENT ON LOTS 1& 2, BLOCK 120, OVERTON ADDITION,
LUBBOCK, TEXAS; SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS; PROVIDING A PENALTY,
PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
The applicants have requested the ability to construct an office building at the
corner of Main Street and Avenue R. The request is submitted as Specific Use
to deal with two issues not found in the ordinary development standards of the
Garden Office (GO) District. First, the structure will be three stories in height;
and second, the amount of parking provided is less than the 1/200 normal GO
requirement.
Adjacent land uses:
N- vacant, will be commercial
S— commercial and a residence on Broadway
E — commercial
W —vacant
The existing zoning for these two parcels is R-3, which in 1975 was converted
to A-2, a heavy apartment district. The proposal is in concert with the amended
Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the Overton North area with Main Street
being a mixture of high density residential and offices.
As noted, the case is filed as Specific Use because of two deviations from the
Garden Office requirements:
• The structure is three stories, GO normally allows a maximum of two.
• The parking is proposed as 29 spaces not including the basement, which will
be used for storage, mechanical equipment, and as a storm shelter.
If the project was on Broadway (across the alley) after Broadway is zoned CB-
1, which was constructed specifically for Broadway during the construction of
the four new CBD districts, the parking ratio would be 1/300 versus the GO
ratio of 1/200. Then, only the third story would be the topic of the Specific Use
Permit.
Otherwise the project will meet the development requirements of the Garden
Office District and will provide a new, attractive anchor on the east end of Main
Street at the entrance to the redeveloped North Overton area. Several adjacent
residents reviewed the file prior to the Commission meeting and seemed
pleased with the proposal.
The project will have little impact on the thoroughfare system. The location is
one-half block north of Broadway and one block west of Avenue Q.
The Planning Commission recommended the request with the following
condition:
1. Tied to the site plan and proposed building elevation.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.
Staff supports the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
5.5. Zone Case No. 2374-E (1615 74th Street and 1719 South Loop 289)
Ordinance 2nd Reading - Zoning: Ordinance No. 2007-00054 request of
Darrell Mann (for Greasewood Holdings, LLC) for a zoning change from
A-2, A-1, and C-4 to A-1 on 8.302 Acres of unplatted land out of Block E,
Section 4, and to consider an ordinance.
Regular City Council Meeting
June 14, 2007
ORDINANCE NO. 2007-O0054
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 7084 AND THE
OFFICIAL MAP OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK MAKING THE FOLLOWING
CHANGES: ZONE CASE NO. 2374-E; A ZONING CHANGE FROM A-2, A-1 AND C-
4 TO A-1 ZONING ON 8.302 ACRES OF UNPLATTED LAND OUT OF BLOCK E,
SECTION 4, LUBBOCK, TEXAS; PROVIDING A PENALTY; SUBJECT TO
CONDITIONS; PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE AND PROVIDING FOR
PUBLICATION.
The applicant is seeking to amend the zoning on a parcel that has a mixture of
Commercial-4 (C-4) with conditions, Apartment-2 (A-2) with conditions (for a
church), and Apartment-1 (A-1) with conditions (limited to duplex
construction).
Adjacent land uses:
N — commercial
S — residential
E — commercial
W — residential
The project is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the west
portion of the parcel that is already zoned A-1 and A-2. The east portion south
of 74th Street, and east to Avenue P for approximately 900 feet, is zoned C-4
commercial that backs up to the single family to the south. That relationship
does not meet the criteria now established by the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan with heavy commercial abutting single family, with no buffer. As noted,
the area along south of 74th Street (south of the two RV dealers on Loop 289)
and some vacant property has the C-4 designation. The balance of about 400
feet along the south side portion is currently zoned A-1 with a condition
� limiting the area to quadraplexes. A parcel that fronts Loop 289 west of Avenue
S is zoned A-2limited to church use.
With regard to zoning policy, the project will meet A-1 development standards
when constructed. The one standazd required when A-1 is adjacent to single
family is that any 2-story structure in A-1 must meet a 50-foot setback from the
south property line, which in this case is a requirement for a drainage easement
occupies that 50 feet. The applicants can use the 50 feet for parking. One letter
of opposition indicated a concern for a reduction of property value, and that
resident may not be aware of the 900 feet of heavy commercial that exists
today. Another letter of support was in direct contrast to the opposition,
illustrating the variety of opinion that can exist on any proposed project.
The project should have little impact on the thoroughfare system with direct
access to Avenue P as a collector and Loop 289 on Avenue S.
The Planning commission recommended the request with one condition:
1. The screening fence on the west along Avenue S and on the south shall be a
brick pier with wooden insert fence, with no curb cuts on Avenue S.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.

Staff supports the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
5.6. Zone Case No. 3050-A (3814 130th Street) Ordinance 2nd Reading -
Zoning: Ordinance No. 2007-00055 request of ADC, Inc. (for First
Presbyterian Church) for a zoning change from GO, R-2 Specific Use & R-
1 Specific Use to A-2 limited to church and church related uses on
proposed Tract A, First Presbyterian Addition, and to consider an
ordinance.

ORDINANCE NO. 2007-O0055
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 7084 AND THE
OFFICIAL MAP OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK MAKING THE FOLLOWING
CHANGES: ZONE CASE NO. 3050-A; A ZONING CHANGE FROM GO, R-2
SPECIFIC USE AND R-1 SPECIFIC USE TO A-2 LIMITED TO CHURCH AND
CHURCH RELATED USES ON PROPOSED TRACT A, FIRST PRESBYTERIAN
ADDITION, LUBBOCK, TEXAS; SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS; PROVIDING A
PENALTY, PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE AND PROVIDING FOR
PUBLICATION.
The applicant is the First Presbyterian Church, and the proposal will limit the
zoning to church and church related use. The original application indicated a
request for C-2. Staff inquired with the applicant and the response was unclear
regarding why C-2 is listed on the application. The case is amended to A-2
limited to the church use.
Adjacent land uses:
N — vacant
S — vacant
E — vacant
W — vacant
The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan where policy
for church locations requires they be located on the perimeter of neighborhoods
adjacent to thoroughfares for easy ingress and egress.
When developed, the church will meet the development requirements for A-2.
The project will have little impact on the thoroughfare system; TxDOT governs
the allowance for driveways along F.M. 1585.
The Planning Commission recommended the request with the following
condition:
1. The use of the parcel is limited to church and church related uses.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.
Staff supports the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
5.7. Ordinance Amendment 2nd Reading - Water Utilities: Ordinance No.
2007-00056 amending Chapter 6 of the Code of Ordinances to include
specific direcNons on the proper installation of backflow devices to address
quality control concerns.
ORDINANCE NO. 2007-O0056
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 6 OF THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS, BY ADDING NEW
SECTIONS 6-82, 6-100.1, 6-100.2 AND 6-100.3, WITH REGARD TO THE ADDITION
OF LOCAL PROVISIONS AFFECTING THE 2000 INTERNATIONAL PLUMBING
AND RESIDENTIAL CODES AND RELATING TO BACKFLOW PREVENTION AND
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A BACKFLOW PREVENTION DEVICE TESTING
PROGRAM CONFORMING TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE TEXAS
COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY; PROVIDING A SAVINGS
CLAUSE; PROVIDING A PENALTY CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR
PUBLICATION.
Backflow and cross connection is the process by which a public drinking water
supply can become contaminated or polluted due to customers on the system
who fail to install the proper backflow and cross connection prevention
assemblies. These customers typically work with hazardous material such as
blood, medical waste, chemicals, and other hazards that, if found in the public
Regular City Council Meeting
June 14, 2007
water supply, would be hazardous and potentially fatal to other customers on
the system.
This ordinance was adopted two years ago and during this time there have been
many questions from backflow installers regarding the proper installation of
backflow prevention assemblies. A section has been added to this ordinance to
address installation concerns. In addition, according to State regulations,
backflow testers may be registered to test within the city in which they work,
however, no criteria exists from the state to establish the policies and
'" procedures for registration. This criteria is established by the City. This
ordinance establishes the criteria for policies and procedures.
These changes amend Chapter Section 6-82, Section 6-100.1, Section 6-100.2,
and Section 6-100.3 of the Code of Ordinances and include specific directions
on the proper installation of backflow devices and address quality control
concerns of backflow device testers and installers.
This ordinance is mandated by the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality. The Model Codes and Construction Advisory Committee and the
Lubbock Water Advisory Board recommended approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.
Staff recommended approval of the second reading of this ordinance.

This project involves the construction of a new outfall line for Reservoir No. 3
at the Hancock Land Application Site. The current outfall line is leaking at a
backflow prevention valve and has elevated the risk of a complete reservoir
failure. T'he current configuration can drain the reservoir if the backflow
prevention valve completely fails. A new design will prevent future liability
and fulfill the present function of the outfall line.
Regular City Council Meeting
June 14, 2007
The new system will include 164 feet of new 12-inch water main that will be
connected to a water delivery system outside the reservoir. The new water main
will deliver water over the reservoir dam to a concrete channel system capable
of dissipating the energy and preventing future erosion of the dam. The
concrete channel system will be connected to the water main and will be
constructed to the present edge of water in the reservoir. The construction of the
entire system will consist of an open cut trench for the water main and the
forming of the concrete structure. Once the new outfall line is completed, the
contractor will plug the existing line to remediate the current leak.
Selection criteria published in the Request for Proposals included price (50%),
resumes and references (10%), recommendations to reduce project cost (10%),
insurance claims and litigation (5%), construction time (15%) list of
subcontractors (5%), and construction phasing (5%).

This ordinance was read for the first time at the May 11, 2007, City Council
meeting as a consent agenda item. This ordinance abandons and closes the
north 165-foot portion of the 20-foot alley located in Block 113, Overton
Addition just south of 7th Street between Avenue Q and Avenue R. The alley is
being closed for development purposes and will remain a temporary utility
easement. In the re-platting process a utility and public access easement will be
dedicated to replace this easement closure. Since the requestor of this closure is
not the original dedicator there will be a charge for the alley closure. The total
alley area being closed is 3,300 square feet and in the re-plat the owner is
dedicating 4,826 square feet of street dedication and a 4,777 square foot utility
easement. Therefore, there will not be a charge for this alley portion closure.
All utility companies are in agreement with this alley portion closure.

The contract with Texas Tech University (TTU) for transit services is for a one-
year period beginning September 1, 2007, and ending on August 31, 2008. TTU
will pay the City $44.65 per bus per hour and includes a fuel cost adjustment
above or below $2.40 per gallon. The price per hour covers full cost recovery
for the City. Citibus has made some operational changes to make the Texas
Tech University service on campus more efficient, such as operating a reduced
number of buses while maintaining the same number of service hours.
Citibus has had a contract with TTU since 1968, and the fuel cost adjustment
provision was added to the contract in 1981. Pursuant to the TTU contract,
Citibus does not collect fares from its passengers.
The TTU Board of Regents will consider approval of the contract during their
August meeting. The TTU Board of Regents requests that the City execute the
�,,,,, contract first.
' FISCAL IMPACT
Any funds spent on maintenance are reimbursed by the Federal Transit
Administration at 80%, or approximately $400,000, since the Texas Tech
University service is on a breakeven option. The additional funds are used to
pay for system expenses which otherwise would have to be paid by the City.
Citibus anticipates receiving $2,294,874 from TTU in FY 2008. The approval
of this contract will result in no additional cost to the City.
Citibus recommended approval of this resolution.

This item is a result of contract negotiations beginning January 2006 with the
three airlines currently serving Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport.
Once executed, this agreement becomes effective October 1, 2006 for a five-

M_� �Y�71 � lu_i_7T� 1
The actual fiscal impact is difficult to determine due to changes that can occur
in the airline industry. During the first year, it is estimated that the new
agreement will result in approximately $172,000 of additional revenue. The Air
Freight Companies pay 125% of the airline landing fee and will produce
approximately $44,000 of additional revenue in the first year. All revenue from
this agreement will remain in the Airport Fund to fund operations related to the

Since the inception of Lubbock Economic Development Alliance (LEDA), its
primary governing statute, Tex. Rev. C. Stat., Article 5190.6 (the "Act") has
continued to undergo significant changes and amendments with almost every
legislative session. T'hese statutory modifications have caused the LEDA Board
of Directors to review its By-Laws to maintain compliance with its corporate
purpose as mandated by the Act.
It was determined by the LEDA Board of Directors that Article VII and Article
IX of the By-Laws should be amended to provide more flexibility and provide
for the expanded purpose of the Act as stated in recent amendments.
The Act, as amended, has redefined the term "project" to require the support of
Section 4A development corporations to incept projects that result in the
"creation and retention of primary jobs." Not all projects contain this
requirement. Article VII was amended to reflect this change.
Article IX was amended to require a performance agreement that at a minimum,
includes the provisions that are required in the Act.
On January 22, 2007, LEDA's Board of Directors unanimously approved these
amendments to Article VII and Article IX of the By-Laws.

paid by the developer of the public improvements or, to the extent permitted by
law, from assessments levied on property owners in the PID. Therefore, this

Subchapter H, Section 271 of the Local Government Code provides for
alternative project delivery methods for certain projects. For projects involving
the conshuction of a facility, Subchapter H permits a municipality to use any of
the following methods that provides the best value for the municipality:
1. Competitive Sealed Proposals
2. Competitive Bidding
3. Construction Manager-At-Risk
4. Construction Manager-Agent
5. Design-Build
6. Job Order Contracts
"Facility" is defined in the statute as buildings the design and construction of
which are governed by accepted building codes. The term does not include: (A)
highways, roads, streets, bridges, utilities, water supply projects, water plants,
wastewater plants, water and wastewater distribution or conveyance facilities,
wharves, docks, airport runways and taxiways, drainage projects, or related
types of projects associated with civil engineering construction; or (B)
buildings or structures that are incidental to projects that are primarily civil
engineering construction projects.
The project being considered for Competitive Sealed Proposals is described as
the construction of the Northwest Little League Complex and Southwest Little
League Complex. One complex will be located at North University and
Marshall Avenue on the south side of Llano Estacado Lake. The project
includes the construction of three regulation little league fields, concession,
restrooms, press boxes, fences, lighting, turf, irrigation, parking, sidewalks and
bleachers. The other will be located at Maxey Park, 26th Street and Nashville
Avenue, on the east side of the lake. The project includes the construction of
two regulation little league fields, concession, restrooms, press boxes, fences,
lighting, turf, irrigation, parking, sidewalks and bleachers.
Section 271.114 of the Local Government Code requires that the governing
body of a municipality that is considering a construction contract using a
method other than competitive bidding must determine which delivery method
provides the best value for the City. Resolution No. 2002-R0543 authorizes the
City Manager to determine which alternate construction contract method will
provide the best value for any construction project not anticipated to exceed $1
million in total cost.
The estimated cost of constructing the Little League complexes is
approximately $2 million,
As required by statute, staff is asking City Council to authorize and direct City
staff to use the Competitive Sealed Proposals delivery method for the
Northwest Little League Complex and Southwest Little League Complex as the
method providing the best value for the City of Lubbock. The following
information is provided to help City Council determine which delivery method
provides the best value for the City.
1. Competitive Sealed Proposals. In selecting a contractor for conshuction,
rehabilitation, alteration, or repair services for a facility through competitive
sealed proposals, the City must select or designate an engineer or architect
to prepare construction documents for the project. The City must provide or
contract for, independently of the contractor, the inspection services, the
testing of construction materials engineering, and the verification testing
services necessary for acceptance of the facility by the City.
A request for competitive sealed proposals includes construction documents,
selection criteria, estimated budget, project scope, schedule, and other
information that contractors may require to respond to the request. The City
must state in the request for proposals the selection criteria that will be used in
selecting the successful offeror.
Regular City Council Meeting
June 14, 2007
The City must receive, publicly open, and read aloud the names of the offerors
and, if any are required to be stated, all prices stated in each proposal. Not later
than the 45th day after the date of opening the proposals, the City must evaluate
and rank each proposal submitted in relation to the published selection criteria.
The City must select the offeror that offers the best value for the City based on
the published selection criteria and on its ranking evaluation. The City must
first attempt to negotiate a contract with the selected offeror. The City and its
engineer or architect may discuss with the selected offeror options for a scope
,...., or time modification and any price change associated with the modification. If
the City is unable to negotiate a contract with the selected offeror, the City
must, formally and in writing, end negotiations with that offeror and proceed to
the next offeror in the order of the selection ranking until a contract is reached
or all proposals are rejected.
In determining best value for the City, the City is not restricted to considering
price alone, but may consider any other factor stated in the selection criteria.
2. Competitive Bidding. The municipality must award a competitively bid
contract at the bid amount to the bidder offering the best value to the City
according to the established selection criteria. Competitive bidding is the
process of selecting a general contractor where contractors compete for the
same project by submitting public bids to the municipality. Each contractor
is given the same set of plans and specifications. The estimating departrnent
of each contractor solicits subcontractor bids for work they do not perform
with their own forces. All bids aze assembled and a bid amount is arrived at
and submitted to the municipality. A specific "lump sum" price is
determined through competitive bidding by two or more general
contractors. The work is usually awarded to the lowest responsible bidder
who then manages the construction project. An outside architectural firm
will need to be employed by the owner under a separate contract to prepare
complete plans and specifications, called the "bid documents". The plans
�^"' will show the scope of work desired, and the specifications will spell out the
� level of quality desired.
This procurement method will generally require more time during the design
and pricing stage than the other types would require. Ample time needs to be
allowed for architect selection, preparation of preliminary design drawings,
preparation of development design drawings, then preparation of final
construction drawings and specifications (the "bid documents"). After plans
have been finalized and approved by the City, bids are solicited from a list of
contractors. The contractors are then given approximately three weeks to
prepare their construction cost estimates and bids.
If the lowest bid received is within the construction budget, then a"lump sum"
contract can be awarded, and conshuction can begin. But if the lowest bid is
over budget, the City may have to enter a"value engineering" stage to make
deductive cost changes to the scope of work and re-bid the construction phase
until the project's cost is within budget. This may take several more weeks of
difficult decision making until the City is able to re-bid and get the project
within budget.
3. Construction Manager-At-Risk. A construction manager-at-risk is a sole
proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or other legal entity that assumes
the risk for construction, rehabilitation, alteration, or repair of a facility at
A- the contracted price as a general contractor and provides consultation to the
City regarding construction during and after the design of the facility.
Before or concurrently with selecting a construction manager-at-risk, the
City must select or designate an engineer or architect who must prepare the
construction documents for the project. The City's engineer, architect, or
construction manager-agent for a project may not serve, alone or in
combination with another, as the construction manager-at-risk unless the
engineer or architect is hired to serve as the construction manager-at-risk
under a separate or concurrent procurement conducted in accordance with
this subchapter. The City must provide or contract for, independently of the
construction manager-at-risk, the inspection services, the testing of
^*V9
Regular City Council Meeting
June 14, 2007
construction materials engineering, and the verification testing services
necessary for acceptance of the facility by the City. The City must select
those services for which it contracts in accordance with Section 2254.004,
Government Code.
The City must select the construction manager-at-risk in either a one-step or
two-step process. The City must prepare a request for proposals, in the case of a
one-step process, or a request for qualifications, in the case of a two-step
process, that includes general information on the project site, project scope,
schedule, selection criteria, estimated budget, and the time and place for receipt
of proposals or qualifications, as applicable, and other information that may
assist the City in its selection of a construction manager-at-risk. The City must
state the selection criteria in the request for proposals or qualifications, as
applicable. The selection criteria may include the offeror's experience, past
performance, safety record, proposed personnel and methodology, and other
appropriate factors that demonstrate the capability of the construction manager-
at-risk. If a one-step process is used, the City may request, as part of the
offeror's proposal, proposed fees and prices for fulfilling the general conditions.
If a two-step process is used, the City may not request fees or prices in step one.
In step two, the City may request that five or fewer offerors, selected solely on
the basis of qualifications, provide additional information, including the
construction manager-at-risk's proposed fee and its price for fulfilling the
general conditions. At each step, the City must receive, publicly open, and read
aloud the names of the offerors. At the appropriate step, the City must also read
aloud the fees and prices, if any, stated in each proposal as the proposal is
opened. Not later than the 45th day after the date of opening the proposals, the
City must evaluate and rank each proposal submitted in relation to the criteria
set forth in the request for proposals.
The City must select the offeror that submits the proposal that ofFers the best
value for the City based on the published selection criteria and on its ranking
evaluation. The City must first attempt to negotiate a contract with the selected
offeror. If the City is unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with the
selected offeror, the City must, formally and in writing, end negotiations with
that offeror and proceed to negotiate with the next offeror in the order of the
selection ranking until a contract is reached or negotiations with all ranked
offerors end. A construction manager-at-risk must publicly advertise and
receive bids or proposals from trade contractors or subcontractors for the
performance of all major elements of the work other than the minor work that
may be included in the general conditions. A construction manager-at-risk may
seek to perform portions of the work itself if the construction manager-at-risk
submits its bid or proposal for those portions of the work in the same manner as
all other trade contractors or subcontractors and if the City determines that the
construction manager-at-risk's bid or proposal provides the best value for the
City.
The construction manager-at-risk and the City or its representative must review
all trade contractor or subcontractor bids or proposals in a manner that does not
disclose the contents of the bid or proposal during the selection process to a
person not employed by the construction manager-at-risk, engineer, architect, or
City. All bids or proposals must be made public after the award of the contract
or not later than the seventh day after the date of final selection of bids or
proposals, whichever is later. If the construction manager-at-risk reviews,
evaluates, and recommended to the City a bid or proposal from a trade
contractor or subcontractor but the City requires another bid or proposal to be
accepted, the City must compensate the construction manager-at-risk by a
change in price, time, or guaranteed maximum cost for any additional cost and
risk that the construction manager-at-risk may incur because of the City's
requirement that another bid or proposal be accepted. If a selected trade
contractor or subcontractor defaults in the performance of its work or fails to
execute a subcontract after being selected in accordance with this section, the
construction manager-at-risk may, without advertising, fulfill the contract
requirements itself or select a replacement trade contractor or subcontractor to
fulfill the contract requirements.
Regular City Council Meeting
Ju.ne 14, 2007
If a fixed contract amount or guaranteed maximum price has not been
determined at the time the contract is awarded, the penal sums of the
performance and payment bonds delivered to the City must each be in an
amount equal to the project budget, as specified in the request for
qualifications. The construction manager must deliver the bonds not later than
the lOth day after the date the construction manager executes the contract
unless the construction manager furnishes a bid bond or other financial security
acceptable to the City to ensure that the construction manager will furnish the
r... required performance and payment bonds when a guaranteed maximum price is
� established.
4. Construction Manager-Agent. A construction manager-agent is a sole
proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or other legal entity that provides
consultation to the City regarding construction, rehabilitation, alteration, or
repair of the facility. A City using the construction manager-agent method
may, under the contract between the City and the construction manager-
agent, require the construction manager-agent to provide administrative
personnel, equipment necessary to perform duties under this section, and
on-site management and other services specified in the contract. A
constxuction manager-agent represents the City in a fiduciary capacity.
Before or concurrently with selecting a construction manager-agent, the City
must select or designate an engineer or architect who must prepare the
construction documents for the project. The City's engineer or architect may not
serve, alone or in combination with another person, as the construction
manager-agent unless the engineer or architect is hired to serve as the
construction manager-agent u.nder a separate or concurrent procurement. This
does not prohibit the City's engineer or architect from providing customary
construction phase services under the engineer's or architect's original
professional service agreement in accordance with applicable licensing laws. A
City must select a construction manager-agent on the basis of demonstrated
competence and qualifications in the same manner as provided for the selection
of engineers or architects under Section 2254.004, Government Code. A City
using the construction manager-agent method must procure, in accordance with
applicable law, a general contractor, trade contractors, or subcontractors who
will serve as the prime contractor for their specific portion of the work. The
City or the construction manager-agent must procure in accordance with
Section 2254.004, Government Code, all of the testing of construction materials
engineering, the inspection services, and the verification testing services
necessary for acceptance of the facility by the City.
5. Design-Build. The City must select or designate an engineer or architect
independent of the design-build firm to act as its representative for the
duration of tlze work on the facility. If the City's engineer or architect is not
a full-time employee of the City, the City must select the engineer or
architect on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications as
provided by Section 2254.004, Government Code.
The City must prepare a request for qualifications that includes general
information on the project site, project scope, budget, special systems, selection
criteria, and other information that may assist potential design-build firms in
submitting proposals for the project. The City must also prepare a design
criteria package that includes more detailed information on the project. If the
� preparation of the design criteria package requires engineering or architectural
services that constitute the practice of engineering within the meaning of The
Texas Engineering Practice Act (Article 3271 a, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes)
or the practice of architecture within the meaning of Chapter 478, Acts of the
45th Legislature, Regular Session, 1937 (Article 249a, Vernon's Texas Civil
Statutes), those services must be provided in accordance with the applicable
law. The City must evaluate statements of qualifications and select a design-
build firm in two phases: (1) In phase one, the City must prepare a request for
qualifications and evaluate each offeror's experience, technical competence, and
capability to perform, the past performance of the offeror's team and members
of the team, and other appropriate factors submitted by the team or firm in
���
Regular City Council Meeting
June 14, 2007
response to the request for qualifications, except that cost-related or price-
related evaluation factors are not permitted. Each offeror must certify to the
City that each engineer or architect that is a member of its team was selected
based on demonstrated competence and qualifications in the manner provided
by Section 2254.004, Government Code. The City must qualify a maximum of
five offerors to submit additional information and, if the City chooses, to
interview for final selection. (2) In phase two, the City must evaluate the
information submitted by the offerors on the basis of the selection criteria stated
in the request for qualifications and the results of an interview. The City may
request additional information regarding demonstrated competence and
qualifications, considerations of the safety and long-term durability of the
project, the feasibility of implementing the project as proposed, the ability of
the offeror to meet schedules, costing methodology, or other factors as
appropriate.
The City may not require offerors to submit detailed engineering or
architectural designs as part of the proposal. The City must rank each proposal
submitted on the basis of the criteria set forth in the request for qualifications.
The City must select the design-build firm that submits the proposal offering
the best value for the City on the basis of the published selection criteria and on
its ranking evaluations. The City must first attempt to negotiate a contract with
the selected offeror. If the City is unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract
with the selected offeror, the City must, formally and in writing, end
negotiations with that offeror and proceed to negotiate with the next offeror in
the order of the selection ranking until a contract is reached or negotiations with
all ranked offerors end. Following selection of a design-build firm, that firm's
engineers or architects must complete the design, submitting all design
elements for review and determination of scope compliance to the City or the
City's engineer or architect before or concurrently with construction. The City
must provide or contract for, independently of the design-build firm, the
inspection services, the testing of construction materials engineering, and the
verification testing services necessary for acceptance of the facility by the City.
The City must select those services for which it contracts in accordance with
Section 2254.004, Government Code. The design-build firm must supply a
signed and sealed set of construction documents for the project to the City at
the conclusion of construction. A payment or performance bond is not required
for, and may not provide coverage for, the portion of a design-build contract
under this section that includes design services only. If a fixed contract amount
or guaranteed maximum price has not been determined at the time a design-
build contract is awarded, the penal sums of the performance and payment
bonds delivered to the City must each be in an amount equal to the project
budget, as specified in the design criteria package. The design-build firm must
deliver the bonds not later than the l Oth day after the date the design-build firm
executes the contract unless the design-build firm furnishes a bid bond or other
financial security acceptable to the City to ensure that the design-build firm will
furnish the required performance and payment bonds when a guaranteed
maximum price is established.
6. Job Order Contracts. A City may award job order contracts for the minor
construction, repair, rehabilitation, or alteration of a facility if the work is of
a recurring nature but the delivery times are indefinite and indefinite
quantities and orders are awarded substantially on the basis of predescribed
and prepriced tasks. The City may establish contractual unit prices for a job
order contract by: (1) specifying one or more published construction unit
price books and the applicable divisions or line items; or (2) providing a list
of work items and requiring the offerors to bid or propose one or more
coefficients or multipliers to be applied to the price book or work items as
the price proposal.
The City must advertise for, receive, and publicly open sealed proposals for job
order contracts. The City may require offerors to submit additional information
besides rates, including experience, past performance, and proposed personnel
and methodology. The City may award job order contracts to one or more job
order contractors in connection with each solicitation of bids or proposals.
��7
---a»...._ .. .� ._..,»...,.............b
June 14, 2007
An order for a job or project under the job order contract must be signed by the
City's representative and the contractor. The order may be a fixed price, lump-
sum contract based substantially on contractual unit pricing applied to
estimated quantities or may be a unit price order based on the quantities and
line times delivered. The contractor must provide payment and performance
bonds, if required by law, based on the amount or estimated amount of any
order. The base term of a job order contract is for the period and with any
renewal options that the City sets forth in the request for proposals. If the City
fails to advertise that term, the base term may not exceed two years and is not
renewable without further advertisement and solicitation of proposals. If a job
order contract or an order issued under the contract requires engineering or
architectural services that constitute the practice of engineering, those services
must be provided in accordance with applicable law.

Tiburon proprietary Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) application software is
used in conjunction with the City's computer aided dispatching (CAD) system.
CAD electronically tracks and logs emergency calls and related activity in a
real-time environment. The AVL system provides real-time tracking of all
equipped public safety vehicles. The tracking displays the physical location of
each vehicle on a GPS mapping system. AVL color codes each vehicle on the
map showing their status (available, en route, and on scene).
AVL technology benefits public and officer safety. Public safety is enhanced
by identifying the emergency vehicle that is closest to major scenes and
assigning the closest unit. Officer safety is enhanced by identifying the location
of each emergency vehicle and sending rapid assistance if required by
emergency personnel.

Avenue P north of 82nd Street is designated as a collector street. Paving
improvements on Avenue P have been constructed in a number of small
sections as development has occurred. As a result, there are numerous leave
outs in the paving adjacent to undeveloped areas. The inconsistency in the
paving is a hazard to traffic, and the roadway is inadequate to serve Roberts
Elementary School at 80th Street and Avenue P, which is planned to open in
August 2007. This project includes curb and gutter, asphalt paving, and
construction of a concrete dip section to complete the full width street.

r-� 6.10. Certificates of Obligation Issuance Ordinance - lst and Only Reading -
Finance: Consider an ordinance providing for the issuance of City of
Lubbock, Texas, Tax and Waterworks System Surplus Revenue
Certificates of Obligation, Taxable Series 2007 in an amount not to exceed
$12 million; levying a tax and pledging surplus waterworks system
revenues in payment thereof; approving the official statement; approving
execution of a purchase contract; and enacting other provisions relating
thereto.
This item was continued until the June 26, 2007 City Council meeti.ng.
On April 26, 2007, the City Council approved the first step in the issuance
process of City of Lubbock, Texas, Tax and Waterworks System Surplus
Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Taxable Series 2007. Resolution No. 2007-
R0175 was approved for the purpose of allowing the reimbursement of bond-
funded construction costs expected to be incurred prior to the issuance of
bonds. On May 11, 2007, City Council approved and authorized the publication
of a notice of intention to issue the certificates of obligation. The notices were
published on May 16, 2007, and again on May 23, 2007.
Today, the City Council is asked to approve the bond ordinance as a
"parameters ordinance", which delegates authority to the City's Chief Financial
Officer (CFO) to authorize the timing, terms, and interest rates of the bond
,►— issuance. The ordinance designates certain parameters to which the CFO must
conform while executing the bond sale, and expires after a 60 day period. T'his
designated authority will allow the City to attain the most attractive rates or
terms by timing the issuance under the best market conditions. In accordance
with Section 7.1(a) of the Ordinance, the following conditions with respect to
the Bonds must be satisfied in order for the Authorized Officer to act on behalf
of the City in selling and delivering the Bonds to the Underwriter:
(a) the price to be paid for the Bonds shall be not less than 95% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds;
�1�
Regular City Council Meeting
June 14, 2007
(b) the Bonds shall not bear interest at a rate greater than the maximum rate
allowed by Chapter 1204, Texas Government Code, as amended;
(c) the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds authorized to be issued for the
purposes described in Section 3.1 shall not exceed the maximum amount
authorized in Section 3.1;
(d) the maximum maturity for the Bonds shall not exceed forty years; and
(e) the Bonds to be issued, prior to delivery, must have been rated by a
nationally recognized rating agency for municipal securities in one of the
four highest rating categories for long term obligations.
At a future Council meeting, the Council will be asked to approve a resolution
which authorizes the Mayor to execute a Design-Build Agreement between
Garfield Traub Development, LLC., Turner Lee Lewis, and the City of
Lubbock to design and construct a conference/civic center adjacent to a
separately-owned upscale hotel located on Tract 7, Overton Park. The proceeds
of this issue will provide the City's participation in the conference/civic center.
These certificates will not be sold until that contract has been executed and
approved by the City Council.
On the date of execution, the City will sell these certificates on a negotiated
basis. The City and RBC Capital Markets, the City's Financial Advisor, will
negotiate a purchase price for the certificates with the City's chosen
underwriter, Morgan Stanley.
Senate Bill 1759 of the 77th Legislative Session amends Subchapter B, Chapter
1201, of the Texas Government Code under Section 1201.028(3) allowing the
authorization of a public security with only one reading of the ordinance.
Therefore, this will be the only reading of this ordinance that authorizes the
issuance of these certificates. The ordinance provided in the agenda backup
excludes certain information that is unknown as of the printing of the backup
material. Examples of this information include: annual principal & interest
amounts and maturity dates. Once the negotiations have concluded, the
information will be completed and a revised ordinance will be made available
to the Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The ordinance authorizes the bonds not to exceed $12 million. The amount of
the debt issuance will be approximately $11.7 million, which provides $11.4
million in construction proceeds and approximately $0.3 million in associated
bond issuance costs.
The debt service payrnents on these obligations are funded from hotel/motel tax
collections related to the hotel, contractual payments from the owners of the
Hotel, and North Overton Tax Increment Financing Reinvestment Zone
revenues.
The annual debt service payments will be approximately $1 million.
Staff recommended approval of the first reading of this ordinance.
Motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Gilbreath, seconded by Council Member
Jones to continue this item until the June 26, 2007 Regular City Council
meeting. Motion carried: 7 Ayes, 0 Nays.

The telephone notification system that was originally purchased for the Police
Department from Dialogic Communication Corporation (DCC) is outdated and
in need of replacement and upgrade. Upgrading the equipment to DCC NXT
Communicator and GeoCast will make the system web-based, login controlled,
and accessible through the Internet and the City's intranet. Mass notification
capability will be upgraded to as many as 60,000 notifications per hour to all
current forms of electronic communication (land phones, cell phones, alpha
pagers, blackberries, e-mail, etc.). The system makes notifications based on 9-
� 1-1 calling data, and the upgrade will provide a link to the City's Internet
website allowing citizens with no data in the 9-1-1 database, such as cell
phones, to register their communication devices with the system. This
important upgrade will help notify citizens of all types of emergency situations
and general information in a rapid and communication-compatible manner
based on the citizen's location or group and type of communication device.
Authorized communications, police, fire, and emergency management
personnel will be able to log in from any Internet-ready site and activate a mass
notification based on pre-built groups or geographically based groups.
This purchase will be made through Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC)
contract number EC07-05. H-GAC is a regional planning commission created
under Acts of the 59th Legislature, Regular Session, 1965, recodified as Texas
Local Government Code, Chapter 391. The H-GAC program was established
pursuant to the Texas Interlocal Cooperation Act that allows governmental and
qualifying non-profit entities to use the Act to obtain commonly needed
products and services. H-GAC purchases conform to the requirements of Texas
competitive bid statutes.

00057 granting a franchise to West Texas Gas, Inc. to conduct a gas utility
business and to occupy the public streets and right-of-way.
West Texas Gas of Midland, Texas is interested in obtaining a franchise from
the City to operate a retail natural gas system in the new developments of
Lubbock. West Texas Gas serves approximately 35,000 customers in 24
incorporated municipalities, the largest of which has approximately 2,800
r-- meters. They also have a wholesale gas marketing business where they supply
approximately 50 municipalities with wholesale gas. West Texas Gas is
expanding their business and desires to serve new developments in the Lubbock
metropolitan area. The Proposed Tariff for Gas Services for the West Texas
Gas Distribution Systems is provided and is essentially the same as Atmos
Energy.
This ordinance allows West Texas Gas to use the City's right-of-ways for
purposes of operating a gas utility company. West Texas Gas will pay a
franchise fee of 5% of its total annual gross revenues from its sale of natural gas
within the City of Lubbock. The term of the franchise is for a period of 15
years.
First reading of this franchise ordinance was on May 24, 2007. From
discussions during first reading of the ordinance, Section 1.2(c)(1) on page 2
clarifies the definition of gross revenues not subject to the franchise fee. The
new definition states, "Gross revenues shall not include: (1) the revenue of any
affiliate or subsidiary of West Texas Gas operating solely outside the corporate
limits of the City or is not operating a Gas System." In addition, the term
"receipts" is changed to "revenue" in Section 4.1(a) on page 3. West Texas Gas
is in agreement with these changes to the franchise ordinance. The revised
franchise ordinance is provided.

Five percent of West Texas Gas gross revenue for services within the corporate
limits of Lubbock. 60% of the future revenue will go to the General Fund with

A minimum impact is expected for the short term because the area is
uninhabited and current use is agricultural and oil production. The well and
storage site are remote from any existing residential development. The closest
residential area is over 1,000 feet to the west.
Although the land area surrounding and including this lease is designated as
residential on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, no subdivision activity has
ever been proposed. At least nine existing wells are in the immediate area. The
South Plains Food Bank is to the south at Martin Luther King Boulevard and
Loop 289. With no known prospects for development in this square mile, few
long-term negative impacts are anticipated.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.

No hydrocarbon lubricant, or waste oil, shall be used to free-up the hole during
drilling until after the first series of surface casing has been set to 400 feet or

reaches a depth of 400 feet. The permittee shall notify the Lubbock office of the
Texas Railroad Commission for the intended dates for casing the well.
