City Council Regular 8. b. Meeting Date: 02/23/2015 Information Subject Discussion on a Perched Water Surface Breach at 203 and 205 Viesca Street - Alejandro Garcia, Interim Public Works Director and Bob Parker, City Engineer Perched Water Surface Attachments 39

Subsurface Water Levels While groundwater does follow the general topography of the earth s surface, it does not rise or fall at the same levels, rather it will rise and fall at a gentler incline. Thus, as water accumulates the subsurface water depth will rise closer to the surface and may actually seep out onto the surface as streams and springs. In some cases groundwater may even rise to the level that it will cause water to form into small lakes and puddles over the surface of the ground. If your home is located in a valley, your chances of having subsurface groundwater drainage issues are higher. Still, ground water can be held in pockets very high in the earth s crust in what is called a perched water table, so even if you live on higher ground your soil may be saturated with ground water. A perched water table is a layer of water that lies above the normal subsurface groundwater in a given area. This occurs when a layer of soil or rock that is impermeable traps water at a higher level. This layer may be made of bedrock material or it may be compacted heavy clay soil which does not allow water to pass through its surface. 40

BACKGROUND:?A speed study was performed by AC Group LLC and this study proposed the speed limits as shown in the report. This report was presented to City Council for review and report was also reviewed by City of Del Rio Police Department. Their recommendations are included as an attachment with some discussions. Police Department concurs with the report recommendations except for three exceptions, also listed in their recommendation letter. DISCUSSION:?Approval for changing the speed limits as recommended by the report, and the Police Department, is necessary as this will set the most appropriate speed limits for the City of Del Rio. These changes will improve travel time, lower vehicle operating costs, maintain safety while diminishing the speed violations on these corridors. PROS:?Improve travel time, lower vehicle operating costs, maintain safety and lessen speed violations. This change will allow PD to exert more effort on other activities instead of devoting time and effort enforcing speeding violation. CONS:?None known as report states this will improve safety with less traffic citations being issued. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of an ordinance to approve the changes as recommended by the report and by the City of Del Rio Police Department. 135

Fiscal Impact FISCAL IMPACT: The City of Del Rio will continue to be impacted by the users since the 85% of users continue to use the higher limits. It is best to change the speed limits to lessen travel times of citizens, improve safety, and lessen the numbers of violations. This will allow PD more time for other police activities.

Change Order Instructions A. GENERAL INFORMATION This document was developed to provide a uniform format for handling contract changes that affect Contract Price or Contract Times. Changes that have been initiated by a Work Change Directive must be incorporated into a subsequent Change Order if they affect Price or Times. Changes that affect Contract Price or Contract Times should be promptly covered by a Change Order. The practice of accumulating Change Orders to reduce the administrative burden may lead to unnecessary disputes. If Milestones have been listed in the Agreement, any effect of a Change Order thereon should be addressed. For supplemental instructions and minor changes not involving a change in the Contract Price or Contract Times, a Field Order should be used. B. COMPLETING THE CHANGE ORDER FORM Engineer normally initiates the form, including a description of the changes involved and attachments based upon documents and proposals submitted by Contractor, or requests from Owner, or both. Once Engineer has completed and signed the form, all copies should be sent to Owner or Contractor for approval, depending on whether the Change Order is a true order to the Contractor or the formalization of a negotiated agreement for a previously performed change. After approval by one contracting party, all copies should be sent to the other party for approval. Engineer should make distribution of executed copies after approval by both parties. If a change only applies to price or to times, cross out the part of the tabulation that does not apply.

Project currently ongoing is with the firm of Spiess Construction Co., Inc. - Alejandro Garcia, Interim Public Works Director SUMMARY: Texas Water Development Board has provided funds and the initial Budget Summary for project 73639 has funds for Construction, Basic Engineering, Special Services, Fiscal Services, Other, and Contingencies but insufficient funds were set aside for the necessary Testing in the initial budget. Funds were requested and TWDB concurred that funds in the amount not to exceed $50,000.00 could be budgeted for this line item of "Testing". The current Revised Budget dated 2/5/2015 does indicate the sum now currently allowed under the heading of "Testing" highlighted in yellow is the $50,000.00 requested by staff. These monies will fund the Independent Laboratory Testing. BACKGROUND: Project No. 73639 - Collection System Reconstruction is for the wastewater project contracted with the firm of Spiess Construction Co., Inc. Project is ongoing and testing by an Independent Testing Laboratory has been conducted by on-call firms that respond and provide necessary quality control testing periodically and the invoices are funded internally using City of Del Rio funds from Enterprise or Reserves funds. Now the firm selected will continue the testing using the contract now funded with the TWDB funds. DISCUSSION: Project No. 73639 is currently approximately 50% complete and another 6-7 months of work remain to be completed. Further, it is possible that City of Del Rio funds previously used can be reimbursed from this amount and also, any continuing tested shall use these funds. Testing by an Independent Testing Laboratory is necessary in order to assure quality and acceptability of work. PROS: 166

Use of an Independent Testing Laboratory funded with these monies allows a firm to be under contract and on-board to quickly to respond to calls for testing and for unique situations requiring prompt response. As is the situation now, it is necessary to find and contact firms that can do the testing and the firms must accommodate City of Del Rio requests. Firms normally have contracts such as at other cities like Eagle Pass or elsewhere and their contracted requirements take precedence over City of Del Rio requests.. CONS: Lack of this Independent Testing Laboratory delays response times to perform the testing timely. Also, City of Del Rio funds must be used in lieu of the funds provided by the TWDB RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends issuance of this RFQ to obtain the services of an Independent Testing Laboratory for the continued inspection and testing of ongoing work on the wastewater project. Fiscal Impact FISCAL IMPACT: Funds from the Texas Water Development Board loan in the amount not to exceed $50,000.00 will be used for obtaining services of an Independent Testing Laboratory.

Local Ordinances and Texas Local Government Code requires the appointment of the Chief of Police position by the City Manager with confirmation by the City Council. BACKGROUND: The search for a new Chief of Police began in November 2014. The search yielded twelve (12) applicants. The selection was narrowed to one applicant whose qualifications and experience met the type of individual needed to lead the Del Rio Police Department. DISCUSSION: Chief Bullard proudly served in the United States Army from 1965-1968, where he was honorably discharged at the rank of Sergeant. Soon after, he began a career with the Texas Department of Public Safety. His career spanned 30 years, and included the positions of Trooper, Sergeant, Lieutenant and his final position of Captain where he directly supervised the work in the Criminal Law Enforcement Division and functioned as a District Commander for an assigned zone. In 1998, he accepted the Chief of Police position for the City of Ingleside. In 1999, Akal Security brought him to Del Rio, where he served as Lead Court Security Officer, supervising court security officers providing security for Federal District Judges, Federal Magistrate Judges, and the Federal Court House. From 2005 until his retirement in 2009, Chief Bullard served as Chief of Police for the City of Del Rio, Texas. In 2010, he began a career with Val Verde County, serving as Chief Deputy assigned to administration. On October 2014, the City of Del Rio requested his services as Interim Chief of Police, a position he has held since. Chief Bullard graduated from Abilene Christian University in 1978, where he obtained a Bachelor's of Business Administration. He graduated from the FBI National Academy in 1984. He holds a Master Peace Officer Certificate from TCOLE. PROS: Waylon J. Bullard is an excellent selection for Chief of Police. His experience and knowledge will be invaluable not only to the Del Rio Police Department, but also to the citizens who the department serves. 170

CONS: None RECOMMENDATION: Administration is recommending the confirmation of Waylon J. Bullard to the position of Chief of Police. Fiscal Impact FISCAL IMPACT: There is no additional fiscal impact to the City of Del Rio. The Chief of Police position is a regular budgeted position.
