21 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA May 3, 2016 ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing award of bid to Trinity Hughes, LLC in the amount of $278, for the renovation of the City Council Chambers and related areas. INITIATING DEPT: Information Technology and Facilities COMMENTARY: City staff worked with Harper Perkins Architects, Inc. to develop specifications for the City Council Chambers Renovation Project. This project is needed to address accessibility issues outlined in the American s with Disability Act (ADA), improve sound and production quality, and to modernize the look of the Chambers. The RFP was published on March 27 and sealed bids were opened on April 19. Two bids were received for the renovation. The bids were from M&F Litteken and Trinity Hughes Construction, with Trinity Hughes being the low bidder. Trinity was also the only bidder that could complete the construction within the 60-day window. The low bid from Trinity Hughes came in $110,000 above the estimate provided by the architects. The primary reason for the cost difference is because the original bid specification only included 1215 sq. ft. and the total for the remodel ended up being 1650 sq. ft., when including the 1 st floor restrooms that have a few ADA issues that must be addressed. This item alone accounts for roughly $60,000 of the overage. There was also $15,000 additional cost for the floor preparation to address the floor leaching issues on the first floor. The electrical work came in roughly $30,000 higher than expected because of additional plugs on the dais and to accommodate LED lighting. There is also a $20,000 contingency included. This construction contract only completes one phase of the Chambers renovation. A second contract for the production and sound systems will be submitted to Council at one of the next two meetings. The estimate for this second contract is approximately $195,000. There will also be an additional $30,000 spent on seating and fixtures. The estimated total cost of a complete remodel will be around $500,500. This project is being funded from our Public Education and Government Channel (PEG) funds received from Time Warner Cable. These funds can only be used for capital expenses related to the Public Education and Government Channel. Even though the cost of this project is higher than expected, the total funds will be available by November The current balance is $400,000 and the next three quarterly payments from Time Warner will bring this balance up to over $500,000 by November. Approval of this resolution is recommended. PAGE 1 OF 3 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.A

24 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA May 3, 2016 ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the Wichita Falls Independent School District (WFISD) for public improvements related to the construction of the Career and Technical Education (CTE) Building. INITIATING DEPT: Public Works COMMENTARY: The WFISD recently chose to construct the new CTE building on Hatton Road, just east of Hwy 281. As part of the construction of the new building, under the current development ordinances, the WFISD is required to widen Hatton Road, extend Brewster Street, and install a new 8 sewer line. Due to the condition of the existing roadway and the need to accommodate additional development for the area, the City of Wichita Falls believes it to be in the best interest of the public to combine the City s maintenance responsibilities of the streets with the construction of the building. City staff also considers it to be in the best interest of the public to participate in up-sizing the required sewer line to a 15 line to allow it to be extended to accommodate future development in the area. Timing for this project is critical for the WFISD, and both parties will benefit by combining each party s responsibilities into one contract. This will remove any conflicts which could arise from having several separate contractors on site and it will ensure the off-site improvements are constructed at the most appropriate time for the opening of the new building. The conditions of this MOU details each party s responsibility related to the street rehab and the sewer collection system improvements. It also specifies the amount of funds to be contributed to the project by the City. The City s portion of the work for the street improvements will be funded through our annual Street Rehab Program and the sewer line upgrade will be funded through the Annual Utility Improvement Program. Staff has discussed the conditions of this MOU with the WFISD and the document has been reviewed by both entities legal departments. The WFISD approved the MOU at its board meeting on April 18, 2016; therefore, staff recommends approval today.

42 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA May 3, 2016 ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Interlocal Agreements with regional public transportation providers receiving Federal Transit Administration support for the purchase of fuel, and amending the budget accordingly INITIATING DEPT: Aviation, Traffic, & Transportation COMMENTARY: The working relationship between the City s FallsRide system and the region s public transportation services has become a vital link to those traveling in and out of Wichita Falls to access medical care and other services. In fact, a person traveling into Wichita Falls from one of the surrounding counties can travel seamlessly from destination to destination. In many cases, these regional transportation services are faced with budgetary demands that limit their ability to provide additional services to their customers. Uncertainty in fuel pricing is always a concern for these regional providers. As a result, this resolution proposes that regional transportation providers, who are supported with Federal Transit Administration funding, be allowed to purchase fuel directly from the City s Fleet Maintenance Division. It is estimated that the regional providers will purchase approximately 30,000 gallons of fuel per year. The City will markup the fuel $0.15 per gallon above the wholesale purchase price to offset administrative expenses and fuel equipment maintenance. This service will allow regional transportation providers to have 24 hour/7 day per week access to the Fleet Division s fuel facilities. Once a month, each transportation provider will be billed for their fuel consumption. This agreement does not require the regional provider to exclusively purchase fuel from the City of Wichita Falls. As a result, each public transportation providers that enters the agreement can shop for the best price available to meet their needs. Subsequently, the Interlocal agreement gives the provider the option to buy fuel from the City of Wichita Falls if it is in their best interest to do so. One of the stipulations of the agreement is that these public transportation providers cannot fuel their personal vehicles. At approximately $2.00/gallon, it is estimated that Transit will expend an additional $60,000 on fuel related to this program with an increase of revenue of $64,500. Approval of this resolution will amend the budget accordingly. Staff recommends approval of this resolution.

47 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA May 3, 2016 ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City Manager to apply for and accept a Bus and Bus Facilities Section 5339 Grant from the Federal Transit Administration to purchase four (4) 35-Foot, Low-Floor Transit Buses INITIATING DEPT: Aviation, Traffic, & Transportation COMMENTARY: On March 29, 2016, Wichita Falls Transit Administration staff received Federal notification of a Federal Transit Administration s (FTA) funding opportunity entitled Bus and Bus Facilities Section 5339 program. The Bus and Bus Facilities program is a $211 million initiative that will make funds available to public transit providers to finance capital projects to replace, rehabilitate, and purchase buses and related equipment. Costs will be shared at the following ratio: 80% FTA and 20% local contribution. Staff recommends that four additional buses be purchased for the following route expansion goals: Eastside, Central, Connector, and Sheppard/Downtown. The purchase of these buses will allow the City to add a second bus on the Eastside, Central and Connector routes, thus providing service every thirty minutes to these routes. In addition, it will allow the creation of an eighth route that will provide direct service from Sheppard to the Airport and to Downtown. The projected price of a new 35-foot, low-floor bus is now $430,000. Subsequently, the total cost of this project will be $1,720,000. Selected projects will be identified by the FTA this summer. If awarded a Bus and Bus Facilities grant, staff will begin the bid process to select a potential vendor to supply four 35-foot, low-floor buses. It is also anticipated that the successful bidder would be formally selected by the end of this year. Given staff s experience with low-floor buses previously purchased, it is further anticipated that the City of Wichita Falls would not receive delivery of the buses until early Therefore, staff requests the support of City Council via this resolution to pursue and apply for this funding with the amount requested of $1,720,000 or 100% of the total project cost. While typically an 80/20 program, local funding for this project, if approved by the FTA, in the amount of $344,000 will be obtained through Transportation Development Credits supplied by the Texas Department of Transportation.

50 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA May 3, 2016 ITEM/SUBJECT: Appointment to Veteran Advisory Council INITIATING DEPT: City Clerk COMMENTARY: There are several vacancies on the Veterans Advisory Council. Councilor Ingle recommends appointing Jason Traylor to fill one of the vacancies. Below is his recommendation: Tracy, I am requesting that at the next council meeting we make a resolution to add Mr. Jason Traylor to the VAC, term to expire 5 years from 31 Dec or 31 July... what ever the date from when we started the VAC. He is also on the board of the WF police academy Association. So he's actively involved already and ready to go. Plus he works out here on base with me, so we can talk whenever we have some free time. He's going to be working on the "Wichita Falls Veteran friendly business" designation. It'll be a sticker that identifies businesses as veteran friendly, meaning they give some type to good deal to veterans.. We're working on a plan to design the sticker, ensure the business understands the expectations of giving a benefit to military /veterans, some type of incentives to the business (PSAs), and keeping/ maintaining a roster of those businesses. I talked to Henry Florsheim about it and he'll support it, but he didn't want the chamber to be directly involved. I think in the long run this will be another feather in the cap of WF and be something we can brag about. Let me know if you have any questions. I plan to keep council in the loop, as well as legal and the chamber, so that when we finally launch this program, we don't step on anyone's toes or ruffle feathers. Tim All applications will be forwarded via separate .
