AUTHORIZATION FOR EMERGENCY BID OF WATER PIPE AND APPURTENANCES FOR RELOCATION AT
DIXIE FARM ROAD AND FM 518
City Manager Ron Wicker explained that the State has recently made some changes on
the FM 518 widening project, at the intersection of Dixie Farm Road and FM 518 that
require relocation of one of our water lines. We are asking for authorization to
have an emergency bid for water pipe and appurtenances for this location so that we
can do the relocation project as quickly as possible and not hold up the contractor
any longer than is necessary.
It was moved by Councilmember Wolff, seconded by Councilmember Tetens, that the Staff
be authorized to take emergency bids for water pipe and appurtenances for relocation
of water line at Dixie Farm Road and FM 518.
Motion passed 3 to 0.

Mayor Reid advised that in September, 1986, the citizens of Brookside, Manvel,
Missouri City and Pearland voted to form the Brazos Bend Water Authority. Since
that time, the members of the Authority have been working with the Texas Water
Development Board and recently have received a grant from that Board requiring a
matching share of the cost from the participating cities. Each city's proportionate
share is based on the 1980 census, with Pearland's share being 41916. The Resolution
will reaffirm the City's participation in the Phase One Grant Contract.
Resolution No. R88-16 was read in its entirety by Councilmember Roberts.
It was moved by Councilmember Roberts, seconded by Councilmember Tetens, that

Mayor Reid commented about the history and concept of the Brazos Bend Water Authority
answering questions from the Council concerning the future activities of the
Authority. He discussed the possibility of the City's participation level to be
lower after the 1990 census and the possibility of area M.U.D. districts
participating and sharing the cost of this project.

HIGRWAYS AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION FOR CITY PARTICIPATIQNT IN FM 518 WiDENIM
City Manager Ron Wicker explained that on March 11, 1988, the City entered into an
agreement with the State for the City's proportionate share in the widening of FM 518
from the Presbyterian Church to 0.2 miles west of the Galveston County line. The
State estimated the City's cost for the construction of storm sewers and curb and
gutter to be $2,277,231.55 and the escrow agreement provided for the City to pay
their share of the cost in four payments. When bids were opened on this project, it
was determined the cost of the City's participation would be close to $3,000,000.00.
We have, since that time, met on several occasions with the State and discussed the
possibility of keeping our cost at what was originally estimated. The Resolution
tonight for approval of a supplemental agreement with the State provides that the
City's share of the cost will be in the fixed amount of the original estimate and the
State will pay all costs in excess of this amount. Mr. Wicker said he would highly
recommend approval of the supplemental agreement and, within the next few days, we
will be making our second payment to the State in the amount of $569,307.89.
Resolution No. R88-17 was read in its entirety by Councilmember Wolff.
