MAY 20TH MAY 2026 AS MOTORCYCLE SAFETY AWARENESS MONTH AND ENCOURAGE ALL CITIZENS OF NACOGDOCHES TO REMAIN VIGILANT WHILE DRIVING AND TO SHOW RESPECT AND CONSIDERATION FOR ALL MOTORCYCLISTS ON OUR ROADWAYS.THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. YOU BET. CAN YOU SEND US A PHOTO? YEAH. THANK YOU. MAYOR JOHNSON, ON BEHALF OF ON BEHALF OF GYPSY MC INTERNATIONAL, WE DO HAVE ONE OF OUR OUR FUTURE MEMBERS HERE. OUR PROSPECT WAS ACTUALLY IN AN ACCIDENT OVER ON STALLINGS DRIVE A COUPLE BACK IN MARCH. HIS VEHICLE WAS TOTALED OUT BY A DISTRACTED DRIVER. AND WE JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR TONIGHT FOR BEING SO RESPONSIVE, BUT ALSO THE FIRST RESPONDERS THAT DID COME AND HELP HIM OUT. AND THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO IS JUST ASK IF PEOPLE WOULD BE MORE DILIGENT ABOUT UTILIZING CELL PHONES ON WHILE WHILE DRIVING. I JUST TOLD THEM TO, YOU KNOW.
OKAY, NEXT ITEM IS THE TEXAS POLICE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION PRESENTATION OF ACCREDITATION. I DON'T KNOW THAT I NEED THIS, BUT I'LL USE IT ANYWAY. I'LL TALK MOSTLY OUT TO YOU GUYS SINCE Y'ALL PROBABLY KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY, BUT I'M MIKE SKILLEN REPRESENTING THE TEXAS POLICE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION. I'M THE POLICE CHIEF IN IDAHO. I'M FORTUNATE ENOUGH HERE TODAY TO BE ABLE TO COME AND TALK ABOUT THE POLICE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION ACCREDITATION PROGRAM, AND THAT'S A PROGRAM WHERE DEPARTMENT INVITE THE THIRD PARTY IN THE THE ASSOCIATION COME IN AND LOOK AT EVERYTHING THEY DO AND MAKE SURE IT'S BEEN DONE, BEING DONE BY BEST PRACTICES ON ABOUT 180 POINTS. EVERYTHING FROM IS AS IMPORTANT
[00:05:03]
AS HOW DO YOU HANDLE PURSUITS? HOW DO YOU HANDLE USE OF FORCE OR COMPLAINTS TO. AS INNOCUOUS SAYS, ARE YOU GOING TO THE SCHOOL AND SEEING THE KIDS? ARE YOU PARTICIPATING IN THE PARADES OR DOING NON-LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY IN THE COMMUNITY TO BUILD THOSE, THOSE BONDS, IN THAT TRUST AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN? AND I CAN TELL YOU, IT'S NOT AN EASY PROCESS TO GET THE THE DESIGNATION. IT TAKES SOMEONE VERY DEDICATED, VERY DETAIL ORIENTED, VERY DRIVEN. AND THAT'S BEEN A PROGRAM MANAGER. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT OFFICER COY HARRY IS THE HARDEST WORKING OFFICER IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. IN FACT, JUNIOR PRUITT IS OUR PROGRAM MANAGER. WE BROUGHT HER. WE THINK SHE DESERVES THAT FOR FOR. WE JUST RECEIVED OURS ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. SO IT'S A VERY LONG PROCESS. IT TAKES ABOUT A YEAR TO GO THROUGH ALL THE PAPERWORK. THERE'S A LOT OF SUBMISSIONS. AND IT'S NOT JUST SAYING, YES, WE DO THIS. THEY'RE COPYING FILES, THEY'RE TAKING PICTURES, THEY'RE FINDING REPORTS, THEY'RE PUTTING EXAMPLES TOGETHER. AND IT TAKES A LONG TIME JUST TO DO ONE MUCH LESS THAN 180, A LOT OF TRAINING FOR THE DEPARTMENT. IT'S JUST A VERY, VERY DETAILED PROCESS.AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT THAT WE'RE ASKED TO DO. IT'S SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY BRINGS UPON THEMSELVES. WE ASK A THIRD PARTY TO COME IN AND LOOK AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT. WELL, AND I CAN I CAN ALSO ADD, THE LAST THING IS THAT THERE'S ABOUT 26,800 POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN THE STATE THAT ARE ABLE TO DO THIS. AND TO DATE, LESS THAN 10% HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACHIEVE THAT GOAL. THERE'S SOMEWHERE JUST UNDER 250. SO NOT ONLY CAN I TELL YOU THAT YOUR DEPARTMENT, YOU CAN BE VERY PROUD, HAS BEEN PARTICIPATING IN. THAT IS, THEY WERE AN EARLY ADOPTER. AGAIN, WE'RE CLOSE TO 250 IN THE PROGRAM, BUT THEY WERE THE 24TH DEPARTMENT TO ACHIEVE THIS STATUS WAY BACK IN 2010. SO WAY BACK IN 2010, THEY WANTED YOU ALL AND THE CITIZENS TO KNOW THAT THEY WERE DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT, THAT THEY ACHIEVED THE GOLD STANDARD, THAT THAT BEST PRACTICES RAN THROUGHOUT THE DEPARTMENT. SO THEY ACHIEVED IT IN 2010. AND EVERY IT'S GOOD FOR FOUR YEARS. EVERY FOUR YEARS YOU HAVE TO GET REACCREDITED. AND THE REACCREDITATION PROCESS IS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT THAN ACCREDITATION, BECAUSE NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE TO SHOW YOU'RE DOING THESE THINGS, YOU HAVE TO SHOW. YOU CONTINUE TO DO THEM YEAR AFTER YEAR, BIANNUALLY. THE THINGS THAT ARE DONE ANNUALLY SEMIANNUALLY. AND SO THEY'VE DONE THAT FOR FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES. SO I AM VERY, VERY HAPPY, VERY PROUD, VERY HONORED TO BE HERE TODAY TO PRESENT TO THEM THEIR FOUR THREE ACCREDITATION SINCE 2010 THAT THEY JUST RECEIVED LAST MONTH. SO. AND OF COURSE, WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO POST THIS AS WELL. WOULD YOU MIND COMING COMING UP HERE WITH US, GINGER, YOU WANT TO COME UP? I THINK YOU DESERVE THAT FOR DOING US. RIGHT. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET SOMEBODY'S NUMBER. AND CHALLENGER SAID Y'ALL SAID THAT Y'ALL HAD THE BEST POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE STATE AND MAYBE THE NATION. AND AND BASED ON THIS, IT'S REALLY HARD TO ARGUE THAT. OKAY, NEXT ITEM IS THE ELECTIONS IN THE ADMINISTER OF STATEMENTS OF OATH OF

[00:15:16]
SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. NEXT ITEM. AGENDA ITEM EIGHT A[8.A. Consider approval of a Resolution creating a Chapter 380 Economic Development Program and authorizing an agreement by and between the City of Nacogdoches and Icon Cinema Nacogdoches, LLC regarding the renovation and operation of a movie theater at 3801 North Street. (Interim Director of Business Development) ]
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION CREATING A. CHAPTER 380 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF NACOGDOCHES AND ICON CINEMA NACOGDOCHES, LLC REGARDING THE RENOVATION AND OPERATION OF A MOVIE THEATER AT 3801 NORTH STREET. MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. JERRY BAKER, CITY ATTORNEY. I'M GOING TO ADDRESS THE LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE 380 AGREEMENT IN FRONT OF YOU, AND I'LL TURN IT OVER TO MARY FRANCES TO DISCUSS THE FINANCIAL ASPECTS OF IT. OKAY. SO AS I MENTIONED, WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IS A RESOLUTION AND A PROPOSED CHAPTER 3380, EXCUSE ME, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. AS YOU KNOW, FOR THE MOST PART, GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES GENERALLY CANNOT PROVIDE PRIVATE ENTITIES OR PERSONS OF PUBLIC MONEY WITHOUT CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS OR CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS BEING MET. ONE OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS OR ONE OF THOSE EXCEPTIONS THAT IS PROVIDED UNDER THE STATUTE IS UNDER CHAPTER SPECIFICALLY UNDER CHAPTER THREE, 80 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE. AND THE PURPOSE FOR THAT EXCEPTION IS TO PROVIDE FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. SO CHAPTER 380 PROVIDES THAT A A CITY MAY MAKE LOANS OR GRANTS OF PUBLIC FUNDS FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROMOTING LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND STIMULATING AND ENHANCING BUSINESS AND COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY WITHIN THE CITY. AND SO WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE YOU IS A PROPOSED 380 AGREEMENT, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, RELATED TO PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3801 NORTH STREET, WHICH, AS YOU MAY BE AWARE, IS THE OLD AMC THEATER USED TO BE CINEMARK AT ONE POINT, BUT I GUESS WHEN IT SHUT DOWN, IT WAS AMC. THE. THE TERMS OF THE 380 AGREEMENT THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU FOR CONSIDERATION IS THE STANDARD 380 AGREEMENT THAT YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE THAT'S BEEN PRESENTED. IT SETS FORTH THE REQUIREMENTS THAT THE DEVELOPER WOULD HAVE, AND IN THIS CASE, RENOVATING THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE AMOUNTS THAT WILL BE. SPENT OR EXPENDED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OR RENOVATIONS, AS WELL AS THE ADDITION OF ANY PERSON PERSONALLY, PROPERTY, IN THIS CASE, FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING AS WELL. THE HIRING OF WHAT'S BEEN PROPOSED IS 20 EMPLOYEES AND OTHER TERMS. SHOULD THERE BE ANY ISSUES RELATED TO ANY OF THOSE THINGS. SO THOSE ARE, AS I MENTIONED, JUST THE STANDARD TERMS THAT YOU WOULD SEE ANY 380 AGREEMENT THAT YOU REVIEW BEFORE THE AGREEMENT ITSELF PROVIDES THAT THE DOCUMENTS FOR CONSTRUCTION AND PURCHASE OF THE EQUIPMENT BE PROVIDED TO THE CITY WITHIN 90 DAYS OF THE ISSUANCE OF THE CEO. IT ALSO INCLUDES REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE CITY OF UP TO $50,000 FOR ADA COMPLIANCE AND UPDATING THE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM THERE IN THE BUILDING. AND UNLIKE SOME OF THE OTHER 380 AGREEMENTS YOU'VE SEEN IN THE PAST, THIS IS A REIMBURSEMENT OF NOT OF AD VALOREM TAX, BUT OF SALES TAX.IT STILL REQUIRES THE THE PROPERTY OWNER TO PAY THOSE AD VALOREM TAXES TIMELY, AS WELL AS PROVIDE THE COMPLIANCE REPORT AS SET FORTH IN THE 380 AGREEMENT BY THE END OF JANUARY 31ST 31ST, IN ORDER TO GET THOSE REIMBURSEMENTS. SO AGAIN, THOSE ARE THE, YOU KNOW, THE STANDARD TERMS. I HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING JUST THE STANDARD TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT. OTHERWISE, I'LL JUST TURN IT OVER TO MARY FRANCES AT THIS TIME TO DISCUSS THE FINANCIALS. OKAY. I'M GOING TO GO BACKWARDS A LITTLE BIT. OKAY. COOL. MARY FRANCES BRADFORD, INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, HAD TO GET ALL THAT OUT. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, I CAN CINEMAS PROPOSING, AS JERRY MENTIONED, TO LEASE AND RENOVATE THE 3801 NORTH STREET, SUITE NUMBER SEVEN, PREVIOUSLY OCCUPIED BY AMC, WHICH CLOSED BACK ON NOVEMBER THE 26TH AND 2024, LEAVING US WITHOUT A MOVIE THEATER. AS WAS DESCRIBED, THEY PLANNED TO INVEST AT LEAST $800,000 IN CONSTRUCTION, INCLUDING NEW FIRE ALARM SYSTEM, AND BRINGING THE FACILITY UP INTO ADA COMPLIANCE, AS WELL AS $800,000 IN REPLACING THE
[00:20:04]
FURNITURE AND THE FIXTURE WITH HIRING OF THE 20 EMPLOYEES. THAT'S UP TO 20 EMPLOYEES AT THE BEGINNING. THEY WILL INCLUDE SOME PART TIME JOBS FOR COLLEGE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT FOR OUR STUDENTS. THEN ONCE THE 380 IS APPROVED, THEY INTEND TO HAVE THE PLANNING COMPLETED AND THEN THE RENOVATION START WITHIN 60 DAYS AND BEGIN OPERATIONS WITHIN A YEAR. ICON STARTED. IT WAS FOUNDED IN 2012 BY SAM AND JULIE SNELL AND THE CURRENT CEO, STETSON SNELL. SOMEWHERE IS ON THIS CALL HERE IS JOINING US TONIGHT. VIRTUALLY. THEY NOW OPERATE SEVEN LOCATIONS WITH TWO MORE OPENING THIS YEAR, OFFERING A PREMIUM EXPERIENCE AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE. AS JERRY MENTIONED, THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION WITHIN 90 DAYS OF THE CITY ISSUING THE CEO THAT WILL SHOW THE RECEIPTS AND PROOF OF PAYMENT, VERIFYING THE CONSTRUCTION, THE AMOUNT SPENT AND THE PURCHASE OF THE FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT. THERE ARE ALSO, AS MENTIONED, REQUESTING THE THE REIMBURSEMENT OF UP TO $50,000 FOR THE UPDATES TO INCLUDE THE FIRE ALARM AND THE ADA COMPLIANCE, AND THE SALES TAX REBATE IS ON THE SLIDING SCALE FOR THE TEN YEAR TERM. OKAY. YEAH, THERE WE GO. OKAY, SO YOU'LL SEE THIS. THIS IS THE SALES TAX REBATE SLIDING SCALE. SO YEARS ONE THROUGH THREE IS 100%. REBATE. YEARS FOUR AND FIVE IS 75% AND YEAR SIX THROUGH TEN, 50%. DOING A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH WITH THE COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE, I WAS ABLE TO FIND TWO OTHER 380 AGREEMENTS WITH HUTTO AND I THINK AMARILLO. THOSE WERE MUCH LARGER PROJECTS, BUT THEY WERE BOTH SALES TAX REBATES AS WELL.OKAY, SO THIS CHART SHOWS YOU THAT THIS IS THE SALES PROJECTIONS FROM THE PROFORMA THAT WE WERE ABLE TO ESTIMATE THE SALES TAX THAT WOULD BE GENERATED OVER THE TEN YEAR TERM. AND USING THAT SLIDING SCALE, YOU'LL SEE THAT THE CITY WOULD RECEIVE $234,381 IN TOTAL SALES TAX, AND THEN REBATE TO ICON THE 155 AND $6, AND THEN THE CITY WOULD KEEP $79,375.
AND THE FUNDING SOURCES, OBVIOUSLY, THE SALES TAX REBATE WOULD COME OUT OF THE SALES TAX THAT'S BEING PAID TO THE CITY OVER THE TEN YEAR TERM, AND THEN THE ADA COMPLIANCE AND THE FIRE ALARM REIMBURSEMENT WOULD COME OUT OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GENERAL FUND, THE $50,000. SO A TOTAL OF $205,006. AND DURING THAT SAME TEN YEAR TERM, THEY WOULD HAVE PAID IN ABOUT $81,000 IN AD VALOREM TAXES AS WELL. SO THIS INVESTMENT IS NOT ONLY IN THE SOCIAL AND CULTURAL FABRIC OF OUR COMMUNITY, BUT IT KEEPS ENTERTAINMENT HERE LOCALLY. IT HELPS RETAIN DOLLARS THAT ARE ALREADY GOING OUTSIDE OF NACOGDOCHES OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, AND THE CINEMA WILL APPEAL TO STUDENTS AND FAMILIES AND A LONG TIME RESIDENTS, MAKING THIS A MUCH MORE DESIRABLE PLACE TO LIVE. IT'S BEYOND THE CULTURAL VALUE. IT ALSO GENERATES ECONOMIC GROWTH BY CREATING LOCAL JOBS AND SUPPORTING OUR LOCAL ECONOMY.
OKAY, SO NOW IF YOU WANT TO PUT HIM ON. SO NOW I'M GOING TO TURN IT ON TO STETSON SNELL.
AND HE'S GOING TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW AS THE CEO OF ALL THE RENOVATION PLANS THAT THEY HAVE FOR THE CINEMA. OKAY, KAREN. HELLO, EVERYBODY. HELLO. CAN EVERYBODY HEAR ME? YES. OH YEAH.
GREAT. WELL, THANK YOU FOR THAT NICE INTRODUCTION. AND WE COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED TO BE COMING INTO SUCH A GREAT COMMUNITY. SO THE PLAN FOR RENOVATION IS COMPLETELY, 100% ELECTRIC RECLINER CHAIRS. WE'RE GOING TO COMPLETELY UPDATE THE CONCESSION STAND, MOVING IT OVER AND ADDING OUR OWN SPECIAL TOUCH TO IT, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE UNLIMITED REFILLS ON POPCORN AND DRINKS, WHICH IS A HUGE HIT WITH ALL COMMUNITIES THAT WE'RE IN. IT'S ALL GRANITE COUNTERTOPS, ALL NEW FLOORING THROUGHOUT, ALL NEW PAINT. EVERY AUDITORIUM IS GETTING COMPLETELY REDONE WITH NEW CURTAINS, NEW FLOORING, SCREEN FRAMES. WE'RE BASICALLY TAKING IT DOWN TO THE STUDS AND AND STARTING FROM THERE FROM THOSE ROOMS, ADDING IN NEW LASER PROJECTORS, NEW AUDIO. SO, I MEAN, THIS IS GOING TO BE A FIRST CLASS FACILITY THAT COULD
[00:25:04]
RIVAL ANY THEATER IN DALLAS OR ANYWHERE LIKE THAT ONCE WE'RE DONE WITH IT. SO IT'S GOING TO REALLY BE A GREAT THING FOR THE COMMUNITY THERE. OKAY. I THINK THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION.ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH. MARY FRANCES, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO MAKE AN ESTIMATE OF HOW MANY HOURS YOU HAVE SPENT WORKING TO GET THIS MOVIE THEATER HERE TO NACOGDOCHES. WELL, I HAVE NO IDEA, BUT I DID MY VERY BEST TO TO DO ALL THE RESEARCH I COULD SO THAT I COULD PRESENT SOMETHING ABSOLUTELY TO THE CITY THAT WAS OF VALUE. AND WE'RE ABSOLUTELY THRILLED THAT THEY'RE COMING TO NACOGDOCHES. AND HOW MUCH ARE YOU VALUING THE UNLIMITED POPCORN? I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE I LOVE POPCORN. I'M GOING TO BE FIRST IN LINE. YES, PLEASE. OKAY. I'D LIKE TO MOVE THAT. WE APPROVE THE RESOLUTION FOR THIS WONDERFUL MOVIE THEATER AS OUTLINED IN ITEM EIGHT. A SECOND, MOTION A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, STETSON. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU EVERYBODY. I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU ALL IN PERSON WHEN I'M DOWN THERE WITH MY DESIGNER TO GET THIS THING ALL LINED OUT.
THAT'LL BE GREAT. WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU SOON. AND THE POPCORN. YEAH, YEAH, YOU
[8.B. Consider approval of a contract by and between the City of Nacogdoches and B&B General Contractors for the 2026 Curb and Valley Gutter Project (CIP Project TR-24 201) in the amount of $313,725.00. (Director of Public Works/City Engineer)]
GOT IT. THANK YOU. ALL. OKAY. NEXT ITEM EIGHT A CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT BOND BETWEEN THE CITY OF NACOGDOCHES AND B&B GENERAL CONTRACTORS FOR THE 2026 CARBON VALLEY GUTTER PROJECT. CIP PROJECT TR 24-201 IN THE AMOUNT OF $313,725. MR. OPPERMAN, MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL KATE SOLOMON, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS, CITY ENGINEER I CANNOT IN FACT PROMISE FREE POPCORN AND DRINKS, BUT I CAN, I CAN I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT WE'LL HAVE BETTER ROADS. SO IF THAT'S ANY CONSOLATION, THAT'S OKAY. WE'LL WORK ON THE ROADS ON MY END. SO THIS THIS ITEM IS TO CONSIDER A PROJECT THAT WE'VE RECENTLY BID FOR CURBING VALLEY GUTTER WORK. WE ARE CURRENTLY IN DESIGN ON OUR NEXT COUPLE OF PAVING PROJECTS UTILIZING OUR BOND FUNDS. AND SO BEFORE WE DO THAT, IF YOU REMEMBER, WE GENERALLY LIKE TO GET OUR CURBS AND GUTTERS IN PLACE BEFORE WE START PAVING SO THAT IT'S ALL KIND OF FIXED UP AND READY TO GO WHEN THE PAVING IS DONE. SO JUST AS A REMINDER, CURB AND VALLEY GUTTER WORK IS IMPORTANT FOR KEEPING DRAINAGE MOVING ALONG THESE STREETS. WATER AND ASPHALT ARE MORTAL ENEMIES. AND SO WHEN WATER GETS TRAPPED ON STREETS DUE TO FAILING CURB OR INTERSECTIONS THAT DON'T ALLOW WATER TO CROSS THEM WITH CONCRETE VALLEY GUTTERS OR OTHER METHODS, IT JUST TEARS UP THE STREETS THAT MUCH QUICKER. SO WE TRY TO WE TRY TO GET ALL THESE STREETS FIXED UP AS BEST WE CAN SO THAT WE HOPEFULLY DON'T HAVE TO TOUCH THEM FOR A WHILE. SO WE'VE GOT IN THE CURRENT PROJECT, 29 VALLEY GUTTERS IN ABOUT 500FT OF CURBING GUTTER REPLACEMENT THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED ON ON A COUPLE OF DOZEN STREETS. AND SO THESE, AGAIN, ARE GOING TO BE AHEAD OF THE NEXT COUPLE OF PAVING PROJECTS. WE DID RECEIVE BIDS ON APRIL 21ST. WE HAD FOUR CONTRACTORS GOT REALLY GOOD BIDS ON IT. THE BOTTOM TWO BEAT MY ESTIMATES BY A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS. SO I WAS REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THAT. LOVE TO BE THE SECOND LOW BIDDER ON MY OWN PROJECT. SO BAB GENERAL CONTRACTORS WAS THE LOW BIDDER IN THE AMOUNT OF $313,725, AND THEY ARE OUT OF LUFKIN. WE HAVE NOT DEALT WITH THEM BEFORE, BUT WE KNOW WHO THEY ARE. WE'VE YOU KNOW, WE'VE HEARD GOOD THINGS ABOUT THEM. I DOUBLE CHECKED WITH SOME OF THEIR REFERENCES THAT THEY'VE DONE WORK FOR RECENTLY. THEY WERE VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AS BEING ABLE TO DO THIS KIND OF CONCRETE WORK. SO WE FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF, OF PRODUCING THIS WORK FOR US. WELL, SO WE DO RECOMMEND THE AWARD OF THE LOW BID IN THE AMOUNT OF $313,725.AGAIN, THIS WILL BE FUNDED OUT OF OUR STREET BOND PROGRAM. SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. HOW MANY NACOGDOCHES COMPANIES APPLIED FOR THIS. WELL, COX JONES IS OUT OF NACOGDOCHES. THE QUESTION I ALWAYS GET IS IS THERE A LOCAL PREFERENCE
[00:30:02]
ALLOWABLE? THE ANSWER IS YES. IF THE PROJECT IS LESS THAN $100,000. SO ABOVE THAT, WE ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO GO WITH THE LOWEST RESPONSIBLE BIDDER. AND SO UNFORTUNATELY, THERE'S NOT MUCH NOT MUCH MORE THAT WE CAN DO ON THAT FRONT. BUT ACCORDING TO THE THE REFERENCES THAT I'VE GOTTEN, B AND B SHOULD BE A, A GOOD CONTRACTOR TO WORK WITH. SO I'VE BEEN IMPRESSED WITH HOW THE ROADS LOOK WHEN YOU DO THE CURB AND GUTTER FIRST, AND THEN YOU DO THE ROAD AFTERWARDS. I JUST I'M WONDERING, DOES IT SAVE MONEY TO DO IT THAT WAY TOO? OR. I'VE JUST BEEN SO IMPRESSED WITH HOW IT'S WORKED OUT. WELL THANK YOU. WE HAVE DONE IT BOTH WAYS IN THE PAST AND LAST YEAR WE TRIED IT THIS WAY MAINLY DUE TO THE THE TIMING. WE WERE DOING IT AT A TIME OF YEAR WHEN WE'RE NOT PAVING. SO WE WEREN'T PUTTING IT IN WITH A PAVING PROJECT.AND SO WHAT WE FOUND WAS ACTUALLY THAT WE GOT A LOT BETTER PRICING, I THINK, BECAUSE IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, PAVING CONTRACTORS AREN'T GENERALLY DOING THIS WORK, BUT THEY DO SUB IT OUT. AND SO WHEN WE DO IT THIS WAY, GENERALLY, IT SEEMS TO ME THE SUBS THAT WOULD BE WORKING FOR A PAVING CONTRACTOR ARE THE ONES DIRECTLY BIDDING IT. AND SO WE CUT OUT SOME OF THAT OVERHEAD. AND SO I'VE BEEN PLEASED WITH THE PROJECT COSTS THAT WE'VE GOTTEN DOING THEM SEPARATELY. WELL THANK YOU FOR BEING CREATIVE ENOUGH TO THINK ABOUT THIS. APPRECIATE IT. MY PLEASURE. WHAT KIND OF MOVIES ARE YOU GOING TO SHOW? PROBABLY MORE OF THOSE, THOSE NEED FOR SPEED MOVIES OR FAST AND FURIOUS OR WHATEVER THEY ARE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT ABOUT BUT I DON'T WANT THEM TO BE TOO FAST ON THESE STREETS. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO STRIKE NORTH STREET OR ANYTHING, ARE YOU? WE WILL HAVE WE WILL HAVE STRIPING THAT OCCURS ON SOME OF THESE STREETS, SAY, AT INTERSECTIONS WHERE THERE'S CROSSWALKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THAT'S KIND OF THE THE STRAIGHT, THE STRIPING THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. SO. YOU READY FOR ANOTHER MOTION? YES, MA'AM. OKAY. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE CONTRACT AS OUTLINED IN ITEM EIGHT B. I'LL SECOND WE HAVE A MOTION. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. MOTION
[8.C. Consider selection of the submission by Tetra Tech in response to solicitation RFQ 26 10-112 for design of the Water and Wastewater System SCADA Replacements and Upgrades (CIP Projects WA-25-602 and WW-24-601). (Asst. Director of PW/Asst. City Engineer)]
CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. NEXT ITEM ITEM EIGHT C CONSIDER SELECTION OF A SUBMISSION OF OF THE SUBMISSION BY TETRA TECH IN RESPONSE TO THE SOLICITATION. FRQ 26 DASH TEN DASH 112 FOR DESIGN OF THE WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEM. SCADA REPLACEMENTS AND UPGRADES. CIP PROJECTS WA25-602 AND WW-24 601. MISTER MAYOR, COUNCIL, HOW ARE Y'ALL DOING THIS EVENING? THERE'S A LOT OF LETTERS IN THERE. SO AS AS WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST, WE HAVE GONE OUT FOR RFQS. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE BRING TO COUNCIL STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SELECTION, AND THEN IN DUE TIME, WE'LL BRING A CONTRACT TO YOU AFTER NEGOTIATIONS HAVE TAKEN PLACE.SO THIS IS FOR OUR OVERALL SCADA SYSTEM FOR THE WATER AND WASTEWATER, WHICH IS SCADA STANDS FOR SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITION. SO THAT BASICALLY IS EVERYTHING OUT IN THE FIELD. CONTROLLERS, COMMUNICATION DEVICES. IT BRINGS THAT BACK TO A CENTRAL HUB. WE HAD A WONDERFUL TURNOUT FOR SUBMISSIONS. 11 FIRMS SUBMITTED ON THIS RFQ ALL SUPER QUALIFIED. WE MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT ON A SCORING STANDPOINT. OUR SCORING TEAM WAS MADE UP OF ENGINEERING PLANNING, GIS AND IT. SO IT WAS IN OUR WATER AND WASTEWATER OPERATOR OPERATORS AS WELL. SO THAT WAS A BROAD BREADTH OF FOLKS TO COME AND TAKE A LOOK AT ALL 11 SUBMISSIONS, AND MOST OF THEM WERE QUITE DETAILED. IT TOOK A LITTLE WHILE TO GET TO THEM ALL, BUT IN THE END, THERE WERE FOUR FIRMS THAT SCORED HIGH. TOO HARD TO SAY. YOU ARE THE MOST QUALIFIED AT THIS TIME. SO WE TOOK A SECOND STEP AND BROUGHT THESE 11 FIRMS IN FOR IN-PERSON, FOUR FIRMS IN FOR IN-PERSON INTERVIEWS, GOT TO MEET THE TEAMS THAT WERE DOING THE WORK, GOT TO ASK SOME ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, HOW THEY WOULD APPROACH THE PROJECT, GOT A FEEL FOR HOW THEY DESIGN THEIR HOW THEIR COMPONENTS. THEY LIKE COMMISSIONING STYLE.
SO BASED ON THE ACCUMULATION OF INDEPENDENT SCORING AND THE IN-PERSON INTERVIEWS, STAFF FOUND THAT TETRA TECH WAS THE MOST QUALIFIED FIRM TO BEGIN THIS PROJECT. FOR US, IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG TERM PROJECT. IT'S GOING TO BE 2 TO 3 YEARS TO GET EVERYTHING IN PLACE, YOU
[00:35:04]
KNOW, DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED AND THEN AND THEN PUT IN PLACE. WE WILL BE HAVING PRIORITY AREAS AS WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. BUT THERE IS NO AT THIS POINT, THERE IS NO WHERE'S THE REMOTE? ARE YOU DOING IT FOR ME? OH, THANKS. WE'RE GOING TO BACK UP FOR A MINUTE. WE TALKED ABOUT THAT DEFINITION. WE DID THAT. BUT WHAT I WANT TO MAKE POINT OF HERE IS WE HAVE A A PRETTY IN-DEPTH WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEM, RIGHT? SO YOU GOT THINGS SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE CITY. YOU HAVE CENTRAL HUBS AT THE WASTEWATER PLANT AND AT THE SURFACE WATER PLANT AND AT SEVERAL PUMP STATIONS AROUND TOWN. BUT WE HAVE QUITE A FEW REMOTE, REMOTE, REMOTE SITES THAT NEED TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO THE CENTRAL HUB SO OUR OPERATORS CAN SEE WHEN THERE'S A FAULT, SEE WHEN SOMETHING'S NOT OPERATING, SEE WHEN TANKS ARE FULL OR NOT FULL.THOSE WELLS ARE RUNNING, NOT RUNNING. SO IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF OUR OVERALL INFRASTRUCTURE THAT HAS NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED. AND WE'RE EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD IN THIS DIRECTION. A LOT OF OUR STUFF IS OBSOLETE. END OF LIFE HAS RUN OUT ON IT, AND IT'S TIME. SO BUT I DO HAVE A MEMBER OF TETRA TECH IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ANY. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF TETRA TECH, WE CAN BRING THEM UP. IF YOU WANT SOME MORE INFORMATION FROM THEM. THEY'RE MORE THAN HAPPY TO, TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT WHAT THEY DO AND, AND WHAT THEY CAN PROVIDE FOR THE CITY, IF YOU LIKE, IF YOU LIKE. I'M GOOD. I LIKE YOU LIKE, YEAH, I'LL BRING THEM UP. ALRIGHT. WHICH ONE? PHILIP. OH, BOTH OF YOU. COME ON. WELL THERE'S TWO PHILLIPS. OH THAT'S TRUE. GO AHEAD. IN LAYMAN'S LANGUAGE, CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING. SO I'LL BE ABLE TO TALK TO MY CONSTITUENTS ABOUT IT. I'LL DO MY BEST. OKAY.
SO FIRST OF ALL, I'M I'M PHILIP LOO. THIS IS PHILIP TOPIC. WE ARE WITH TETRA TECH. IN LAYMAN'S TERMS, WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE IS HELP TO FIX AN INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS THAT IS AGING, THAT IS KIND OF ON ITS ON ITS LAST LEGS. WE'RE TRYING TO UPGRADE THE EXISTING SYSTEM AND REALLY ALLOW OPERATIONS TO, TO WORK MORE EFFICIENTLY. AND SO THAT BASICALLY MEANS OPERATIONS IS, IS ABLE TO BETTER MONITOR AND BETTER CONTROL THE EXISTING WATER AND WASTEWATER OPERATIONS SO THAT THE CITY CAN ENJOY A MORE, A MORE EFFICIENT WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM. SO THAT'S, THAT'S EFFECTIVELY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH, UPGRADING. DOES IT INTERFERE WITH THE SYSTEM CURRENTLY OPERATING OR IS THERE DOWNTIME OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? OR. SO TO BE TO BE HONEST, THERE WILL BE SOME EXPECTED DOWNTIME, BUT THE INTENT HERE IS TO PLAN AND MAKE SURE THAT ANY OF THAT INTERRUPTION, ANY OF THAT SERVICE IS, IS MITIGATED AND MINIMIZED SO THAT IT DOES NOT CAUSE ANY DISRUPTIONS TO THE CITY AT LARGE. YOU CAN DO IT WHEN PEOPLE AREN'T REALLY TAPPING INTO THE SYSTEM THAT MUCH. WHEN IS THAT? LIKE 3 A.M. OR AND MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON, BELIEVE IT OR NOT. OH, OKAY. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WHEN ARE PEOPLE USING THEIR WASHERS, YOU KNOW, WASHING MACHINES THE MOST? WHEN ARE THEY WASHING DISHES? WHEN ARE THEY SHOWERING, THAT SORT OF THING. SO YOU NOTICE WHEN YOUR WASTEWATER FLOWS ARE LOWER, IT MEANS AN HOUR OR TWO BEFORE THE USE OF THE WATER WAS DOWN A LITTLE BIT. OKAY. SO IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST OBSERVATION OF SEEING WHEN AND WHERE AND WHEN HE DOES THE SWITCH OVERS BECAUSE HE DOES THEM. WHAT THEY LOOK FOR IS WAYS TO SUPPLANT OR SUPPLEMENT THE SYSTEM WITH, SAY, ANOTHER. WELL, WHILE THEY OH, OKAY. SO SOMETHING ELSE COVERS FOR IT. YEAH. WELL, YEAH. RIGHT. JASON TO FIGURE ALL THAT STUFF OUT. COOL. YEAH. WHERE ARE Y'ALL FROM? HOUSTON. HOUSTON. OKAY. LISA'S NOT DALLAS. LET ME LET ME GO OILERS. SO I WOULD ASSUME AS THEY'RE DESIGNING THE ARCHITECTURE AND ALSO WORKING WITH IT AND DENNIS WITH THEY'RE FULLY AWARE THAT A LOT OF PEER CITIES OVER TIME HAVE BEEN HACK ATTEMPTS. I'LL JUST PUT IT I WAS GOING TO ASK ABOUT THAT. THOSE FOLKS, THOSE THOSE PEER TYPES, NON PEER TYPES. SO SINCE WE HAVE NO PEERS HERE, SO THEY WILL BE LOOKING, I'M SURE AT AND I'D LIKE THEM TO SPEAK TO IT WITHOUT TRADE SECRETS OBVIOUSLY, AND ALSO WITHOUT SECURITY SECRETS, MAKING SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH REDUNDANCY AND THAT OUR CURRENT. I WOULD HOPE, AN UPGRADE OVER OUR CURRENT SYSTEM IN TERMS OF VULNERABILITY VULNERABILITIES. SO GREAT POINT. YEAH. NO, THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S A THAT'S A VERY GOOD POINT. YOU MAKE THE GOAL. I STRETCH THE TERM

EFFICIENCY, RIGHT? BUT REALLY, I GUESS A BETTER TERM TO USE IS RESILIENCY TO BECAUSE AT, AT, AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU WANT CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE LIKE YOUR WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT TO BE UP AND RUNNING AND OVERALL VERY, VERY RELIABLE. RIGHT? SO WE HAVE A TEAM THAT SPECIALIZES IN, YOU KNOW, CYBERSECURITY AND NETWORK ISSUES AND MAKING SURE THAT YOUR AUTOMATION SYSTEM WORKS IN THOSE CAPACITIES. SO WE WILL BE UTILIZING THAT TEAM AS WELL ON THIS SYSTEM DESIGN. SO THANK YOU. I'M HAPPY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. DO YOU NEED A MOTION FOR THAT. YES YES YOU HAVE TO. YEAH. KATHLEEN YOU GO AHEAD AND MAKE THE MOTION AGAIN. YOU MADE THEM ALL NIGHT. SO GO AHEAD. I'LL LET YOU DO IT. NO YOU GO AHEAD. I'LL DO IT. OKAY. BRAD. MOVE THAT. WE APPROVE A SUBMISSION BY TETRA TECH IN RESPONSE TO SOLICITATION. RFQ 2610 DASH 112 FOR DESIGN OF THE WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEM.SCADA REPLACEMENTS AND UPGRADE CIP PROJECTS.
