5. PUBLIC COMMENT
Ms. Connie Ratisseau requested to speak before the Council regarding drainage and asked how many
homes are being removed from the area that was flooded in Harvey and how much money will be saved
doing as a result.
Mr. David Allen requested to speak before the Council regarding the SMITH-MUNDT Act, which
prohibited Americangovernment funds from being used for propaganda on the American people and how.
it has been removed; thus, he encouraged everyone to be weary and thoughtful about the information and
propaganda they hear in the media.
6. WORK SESSION TOPICS
A. Receive and discuss an update regarding the Drainage Update.
Deputy Director of Engineering Samantha Haritos presented the item and showed the Council a map with
the Ciry's existing flood control projects, which including Blackhawk Terracing, Whitcomb Detention
Basin and Terracing, GCCDD's Three Detentions Ponds on City buyout lots, the Frenchman's Creek
acquisition, the Forest Bend Detention, and FM 1959 Detention.
Ms. Haritos noted that the Frenchman's Creek Green Space Project is moving along, and she thanked the
Fire Marshals' Office for taking the lead in the property acquisitions related to this project. She stated
that this project is a Community Block Development (CDBG) Grant from Hurricane Harvey Disaster

Recovery and noted that the monies have been used for the City to purchase Buildings 4 and 5 and on the
County side, Buildings 2 and 3 closed at the end of November 2022. Ms. Haritos also noted that the
owners of Building 1 have decided to sell which is great news and their expecting to close towards the
end of December 2022 or January 2023. Once this happens the Homeowner's Association will transfer
the title over to the City of Friendswood for the green space and then this project will be closed. However,
there are still some components that need to happen like the demolition of the buildings, hydro -mulching,
and the transfer of the title for the last building. Staff is hoping that this project will wrap up towards the
end of Spring 2023, which will mark the first Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery -
Hunicane Harvey Grant to close.
As it relates to the Forest Bend Project, this is also a Community Development Block Grant Disaster
Recovery - Hurricane Harvey Grant, and at this point in time, about 1100 cubic yards of material have
been excavated from Ponds B and C, the installation of sidewalks are in progress, the electrical has been
completed for the lighting, the gate and fence submittal was recently approved, and staff is waiting on
additional funding in the amount of $320,000 from the General Land Office (GLO). Ms. Haritos stated
that the latest information staff has on the additional funding is that Harris County is expecting to receive
an amendment sometime in January 2023 or February 2023, once that happens the City will have to revise
some of the paperwork for the money to be transferred over to the City.
As it relates to the three detention ponds along Cowart's Creek, located at 301 and 310 W. Castlewood
and 2 Queens Lane, at this point the fieldwork has been done, and a geotechnical engineer went out to
study the area and there is now an initial design concept. She noted that two of the ponds are potentially
going to be around 10 acre-feet, and the third one will be smaller, probably around five acre-feet in order
to accommodate the existing disc golf course. Ms. Haritos further noted that the staff should receive the
geotechnical report in the next couple of weeks; however, the hydraulics will continue to be in progress a
little longer.
Ms. Haritos stated that the FM 1959 Detention Basin Project is actually made up of three projects that
were included in the interlocal agreement, one to the north, which is the FM 1959 Project, and two to the
south related to the Whitcomb Terracing and Detention Project.
Ms. Haritos noted that this is going to be somewhere between 1,000 and 1,800 acre-feet of an offline
detention pond. She anticipated that the pond will probably be closer to a thousand acre-feet in size but
noted that staff will not know the actual size until a year from now. Ms. Haritos noted that at this time,
the interlocal agreement between all parties has been executed. The McDonough Engineering Corporation
was selected for this project and approved by the Harris County Commissioner's Court on November 15,
2022. McDonough Engineering has started the preliminary engineering work and will hold a kickoff
meeting with all parties in December 2022 or January 2023. Additionally, an engineering study related
to the Wildlife Hazard Site mitigation has been completed, and staff is working on obtaining a copy so
they can look at it, but there were still some small pieces that were pending completion. The Federal
Aviation Administration requires projects that are within a 5-mile radius of an airport to ensure that there
will be no impact to the bird pathways that could cause damage to air traffic.
City Manager Morad Kabiri noted that for this interlocal agreement, the Harris County Flood Control
District has been designated as the lead agency managing these projects; however, the City has some input,
and while some of these requirements may seem ludicrous, they remain a requirement and must be done.

Mr. Kabiri also noted that staff is working closely with the State of Texas to secure an additional 10
million dollars in grant funds to help supplement those projects.
Ms. Haritos stated that staff is working with the project manager from Hants County Flood Control
District to discuss the official name for this project, that all the partnering entities can agree on. Ms.
Haritos then went over the following payment schedule table for this project:
Ms. Huitos stated that she wanted to go over the fmancials is because Engineering worked with the
Finance Department to review potential financial impacts to the City's budget as it related to the debt
service and tax rate for this project.
Mayor Foreman asked what the total cost of the project is if the City of Friendswood is paying 8 million
dollars for the FM 1959 project, and how much is each entity contributing. Ms. Haritos noted that if all
three projects go into effect, it is 60 million dollars with the FM 1959 Project being around 32 to 38 million
with Galveston County putting in 7.5 million, Harris County Flood Control District putting in over 13
million, and Galveston County Consolidated Drainage District putting in 3.75 million.
Ms. Haritos also noted that staff had some very preliminary modeling done on this item and noted that if
there was a seventeen -hundred -acre-foot detention pond constructed in this area, it would remove 40
homes from the 100-year floodplain. Mr. Kabiri expanded on Ms. Harito's comments and noted that the
100-year floodplain she was referring to is the Atlas 14, 100-year floodplain, which is the equivalent of
the 500-year flood during the Hurricane Harvey timefiame.
Mr. Kabiri also stated that in 2019 when the City went out for a bond election, the intent was to offer seed
money that would allow for the City to partner with other entities to accomplish the greater flood
mitigation effort and goal. Staff knew this type of mitigation was going to be a multi -year endeavor and
would ultimately be a multi -bond election endeavor. The 52 million that was authorized by the voters was
not going to fix the City's flooding issues in perpetuity; therefore, these are incremental improvements
that will continually need to be pursued, and hopefully, along the way the City will continue to have the
success of getting other partners on board, but it will continue to be an ongoing effort.
Ms. Haritos stated that Finance made the following assumptions when looking at the impacts to the tax or
the estimated debt service tax rate impact:
the bonds would be issued in February of 2023;
there would be a 30-year maturity stmcture;
the interest late was assumed at 4.75%; and
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
December 5, 2022
Page 5 of 19
• then there would be taxable assessed value growth of 3% between 23 to 24, 2% from 2025 to 26,
1 % from 2027 to 28, and zero -percent growth thereafter.
Ms. Haritos stated that Finance noted that the markets are pretty volatile right now, so the information
provided will probably not be the same moving forward. But generally, the impact noted in the yellow
column is the tax rate per $100 of assessed value, and down at the bottom, you can see the tax rate increase
is 0.015 per hundred, so it would be a 1,5 cents added to the tax rate or if the City doesn't want to adjust
the tax rate, then $700,000 dollars would need to be moved from the General Fund to pay the principal
and interest payments for the $30 million bond issuance.

Ms. Haritos also noted that staff has not looked at the resulting operation and maintenance costs for• these
projects and how that will also impact the City's tax rate; i.e., mowing, and other types of maintenance.
Mr. Kabiri further stated that this item is something that staff highlighted last month when discussing this
interlocal agreement, and obviously, as the tax rate is the function of the values on the ground, if the values
do what they have in the last few years, the City is not going to see a penny and a half increase in the debt
service, but will most likely be something a lot less than that. However, regardless, these projects will
impact the City's tax rate because additional funds will have to go towards paying the mortgage payments
for the issued debt.
Councilmember Scott stated that while he will not be on the Council for the next budget cycle, would
prefer that the debt service be paid out of the General Fund even if it cuts into the City's operational
expenditures.

Mr. Kabiri, responded to a question from Councilmember Hanks regarding the additional operational costs
for the projects stated that the City of Friendswood has been designated as the operator and maintainer
moving forward for each of the ponds in questions, and this will impact the City's budget, how much, at
this time is unknown.
Moving on to the next item, Ms. Haritos stated that staff had heard back from the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) about the Soundwall at FM 2351. She stated that they thought that if they remove
some of the lower portions of the wall it will help mitigate some of the water that pools at this location;
however, their Engineering Department is still working through the details to see if it can be accomplished
without damaging the integrity of the wall. Councilmember Scott stated that he is happy to hear that this
is finally moving forward as the wall acts as a dam and keeps water from moving down stream, which
was very evident during Hurricane Harvey. He noted that he felt that many of the homes in that area that
flooded during Hurricane Harvey might have been spared had that wall not been there to back the water
up.
With no further comments, Mayor Foreman thanked Ms. Haritos for the report and commended the
Engineering Department for their hard work on all of these very important projects.
7. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
A. Present an update Council candidate application and packet.
City Manager Morad Kabiri presented the item and stated that the council candidate packet has been
posted on the City's website as State law stipulates that candidate filing information be available by
December 19th. So, for anyone interested in that information, they can visit the City's website at
www.friendswood.com.
B. Present an update the new water meter interface for residents.
City Manager Morad Kabiri presented the item and stated that the City's automated water meter effort is
ongoing and about 95% of the meters have been changed out throughout the community. Mr. Kabiri also
noted that the City had been running a pilot program since mid -October, allowing employees and
Councilmembers that live in Friendswood to access a web portal to review their water consumption in real
time. This portal will be available to the public soon, so they can sign-up for their account and set
consumption alerts that can help identify water leaks and other issues.
C. Present an update regarding the Texas EMS Educator of the Year Award.
City Manager Morad Kabiri presented the item and stated that he wanted to congratulate Assistant EMS
Chief in the Volunteer Fire Department, Roy Hunter, who he was recognized by the State of Texas as the
Educator of the Year at the Annual Texas EMS Conference.

A. Consider awarding the Blackhawk Facility Renovation Project kCSP 2022-11) to Construction
Masters of Houston, Inc.
A motion
was
made by Councilmember Griffon and
seconded
by Councilmember Rockey to remove the
item from
the
table for discussion and consideration.
The vote
was the following:
Ayes: Mayor• Mike Foreman, Councilmember Trish Hanks, Councilmember Steve Rockey,
Councilmember Sally Branson, Councilmember Robert J. Griffon, Councilmember John
Scott and Mayor Pro Tern Brent Erenwert,
Nays: None.
The item passed unanimously.
Director of Engineering 7i1 Arias presented the item and stated that since the last Council meeting, staff
has compiled some information regarding the selection process for the Blackhawk Facility Renovation
Project. He stated that as previously noted, the top two responses for this item were Construction Masters
of Houston whose office is located in Pearland as the top -rated company and the second -rated response
was TUCON, LLC doing business as Unbehagen Construction whose offices are located in League City,
Mr. Arias gave a quick overview of the scoring criteria used by the selection committee, which was
composed of three city personnel who office in the Blackhawk Facility with each ranking performed
independently:
Selection:
An contract awarded pursuant to this CSP is to be anazdedbastd on prrnision of"Best Galue"' to the City, within 30 da}•s after

Mr. Arias noted that as it related to the cost proposal, they were ranked on the base bid amount only and
the alternates were not considered in the grading. He noted that there was only a difference of $1,081
between the two companies:
➢ Unbelagen, Tucon LLC - $3,724,119.00

The next item looked at was their ability to meet the City's schedule. The committee reviewed the
information provided, the subcontractor qualifications and work history. Mr. Arias noted that the main
difference between the two submittals was that Construction Masters provided the City with a list of
subcontractors showing prior work history along with the related project, while Unbehagen failed to
specify its projects.

The next item considered is a big one, and related to their quality assurance program, and safety record.
One of the things that staff noted was their Experience Modification Rating (EMR), which Unbehagen
stated that they did not qualify for, and which Construction Master did. Additionally, following items
were listed for each company:

➢ Provided EMR letter.
City Manager Morad Kabiri added to Mr. Arias' comments and stated that any time rehabilitation effort
is undertaken, there are always, unforeseen items because structure that was built several years ago,
ultimately adds a layer of complexity to a project when walls start coming down. Similar to what is
happening in the Public Safety Building, Blackhawk has a critical function that is operating 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week, and cannot stop its operations to accommodate a construction project; therefore, the
contractor's ability to handle this remodel while allowing for the operations to continue and stay on target
for its deliverables is critical.
Councihnembel• Griffon stated that both proposals had contingencies built into them, about 7.5%, and in
the standard operating agreement for Construction Masters, there is a contractor's contingency and an
owner's contingency, 7.5% each, who is the owner per the agreement? Mr. Kabiri noted that the ownernoted in the agreement is the City of Friendswood, so the owner's contingency belongs to the City, and
said contingencies must get approved by the City Engineer and the City Manager, which helps limit the
need for change orders.
Councihnember• Griffon asked if all change orders will be brought to the Council for approval. Mr. Kabiri
responded that all change orders that exceed the contract amount will be brought back to the Council for
approval.
Mr. Arias then noted that the last item used to rank the submittals related to their current workload and
both companies showed that they could handle this project. Lastly, Mr. Arias noted that there was some
discussion at the last meeting about staff having interviews with the submitters and noted that staff did not
meet with any of the submitters and all of them were treated the same.
With no further comments, a motion was made by Mayor Foreman and seconded by Councilmember Scott
to awarding the Blackhawk Facility Renovation Project (CSP 2022-17) to Construction Masters of
Houston, Inc. The vote was the following:

Nays: None.
The item passed unanimously.
B. Consider ratifying the Agreement and Change Order No.l with Pavecon Ltd. Co., for emergency
repairs required on Bay Area Boulevard.
This item approves a Professional Services Agreement for HDR Engineering, Inc., to perform engineering
services related to the Blackhawk Boulevard Reconstruction Phase II-B Project. Recently, City staff
discovered that three portions of Bay Area Boulevard were severely sunken and posed a risk to vehicles
travelling on the roadway. The problem areas were located adjacent to and near parts of Bay Area
Boulevard which have been repaired in the past two years to address similar issues. Repairs were
undertaken on a continual basis and staff budgeted a portion of street funds in anticipation of future repairs.
However, the drought of summer 2022 affected the roads more than expected, leading to City staff
reducing northbound Bay Area to a single lane and requiring repairs on an emergency basis.
Pavecon Ltd. Co. ("Pavecon") provided a proposal through the TIPS purchasing cooperative to remove
and replace 7" of concrete roadway in three areas impacting both lanes of the northbound portion of Bay
Area Boulevard. The City entered into an emergency Standard Agreement for Contracting Services with
Pavecon for $322,285. The agreement included labor and materials to remove and replace the concrete
roadway in the damaged locations, as well as the replacement of pre-existing damaged guardrails.
The original bid included the use of cement -stabilized sand for leveling, which is the method that has been
specified for concrete repairs in the annual road maintenance program due to a quicker turn -around time.
After excavation of the roadway, it was discovered that the subgrade was not adequate for re -use and was
going to require stabilization in order to provide a good foundation for the future road. A change order
was subsequently issued to Pavecon Ltd. Co. for lime stabilization for $78,250. The change order includes
labor and materials associated with stabilizing the subgrade under the concrete roadway and an additional
month of rental of traffic control to account for the extended time needed to perform the additional work.
A motion was made by Councilmember Hanks and seconded by Councilmember Rockey to ratify the
Agreement and Change Order No.1 with Pavecon Ltd. Co., for emergency repairs required on Bay Area
Boulevard. The vote was the following:
Ayes: Mayor Mike Foreman, Councilmember Trish Hanks, Councilmember Steve Rockey,
Councilmember Sally Branson, Councilmember Robert J. Griffon, Councilmember John
Scott and Mayor Pro Tem Brent Erenwert,
Nays: None.
The item passed unanimously.

C. Consider authorizing an End User Agreement with PM Construction & Rehab, LLC, through
the Houston -Galveston Area Council's Contract #TP07-18 for the Sanitary Sewer Evaluation
Survey, Phase IV Project, which will execute identified sewer main line and sewer manhole
rehabilitation repairs.
This item authorizes an End User Agreement with PM Construction & Rehab, LLC, through the Houston -
Galveston Area Council's Contract #TP07-18 for the Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Survey, Phase IV Project,
which will execute identified sewer main line and sewer manhole rehabilitation repairs in an amount not
to exceed $1,368,118.75.
The Sanitary Sewer System Assessment Phased Study Reports and follow-up flow monitoring/leak-
detection process have assisted and continue to assist the City in identifying a significant amount of
potential inflow and infiltration ("I&I") sources within surveyed basins of the City of Friendswood. The
I&I sources range from failing manholes, broken and/or faulty sewer mains, missing/broken sewer
cleanouts, direct tie-ins, and more.
As part of our long-range sanitary sewer assessment and rehabilitation program, Public Works has
prepared Phase IV (Construction & Rehabilitation) based on the findings of Phase II, which was part of
an assessment phase. The Phase II Study Report outlines the recommended rehabilitation to assist in
reducing sewer inflows to basin FM-08.
As the funds for this proposed project are being provided through prior approved bonds, the Public Works
Department and Finance Department coordinated together to confirm the City's ability to use the H-GAC
cooperative purchase program for the project. Upon such confirmation and consistent with our practice
regarding annual Sewer Rehab CIP process, Public Works immediately coordinated with the H-GAC-
appioved contractor PM Construction & Rehab, LLC ("PM Construction") to review the proposed scope
of work. PM Construction presented its pricing for the proposed outlined scope of work based on H-GAC
Contract #TP07-18: The H-GAC Contract #TP07-18 has been integrated within the End User Agreement
between City and Contractor in an amount not to exceed $1,368,118.75.
A motion was made by Councilmember Rockey and seconded by Councilmember Branson to authorize
an End User Agreement with PM Construction & Rehab, LLC, through the Houston -Galveston Area
Council's Contract #TP0748 for the Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Survey, Phase IV Project, which will
execute identified sewer main line and sewer manhole rehabilitation repairs. The vote was the following:
Ayes: Mayor Mike Foreman, Councilmember Trish Hanks, Councilmember Steve Rockey,
Councilmember Sally Branson, Councilmember Robert J. Griffon, Councilmember John
Scott and Mayor Pro Tem Brent Erenwert.
