located locally and in close proximity.
Mrs. Menon, explained that the IT department is preparing for any future cyber events by replacing
internet firewalls, desktop anti-virus software and email protection systems. In order to combat the
increasing sophistication of attackers that seek to steal or encrypt data, the city needs to improve the
data protection solution currently in place. The city also needs to improve the current data recovery
solution and prepare for natural or man-made disasters. Freeit Data Protection recommends the
Rubrik device that will provide a single platform for both data protection and disaster recovery. The
Rubrik device will back up all our servers (including the older technology systems) and protect the
data from attackers by using a combination of encryption and cloud storage services. Rubrik adds
another layer of protection with the ability to detect and prevent ransomware attacks on data backups.
Gartner has identified Rubrik as a leader in Data Resiliency Solutions market. With the Rubrik device,
we would be able to retire the current Dell EMC and Commvault backup and recovery systems.

0.23 SQUARE FOOT AND 1 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING ENCROACHMENTS,
RESPECTIVELY, INTO THE BOYETT STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY LOCATED AT LOT 12,

RECORDED IN VOLUME 100, PAGE 440 OF THE OFFICIAL RECORDS OF BRAZOS

RIGHT-OF-WAY.
WHEREAS, the City of College Station, has received an application for a license to encroach
into a right-of-way;
WHEREAS, the City of College Station has enacted Ordinance No. 1645 regulating, controlling
and governing encroachments;
WHEREAS, in order for a license to be granted by the City Council of the City of College
Station, the Council must make certain findings of facts;
WHEREAS, after hearing the application of The Standard at College Station, LLC to encroach
into the right-of-way, the City Council of the City of College Station, finds the following facts:
1.That through no fault of the present property owner, a portion of the structure was
constructed in the right-of-way.
2.That there are no utilities which would be interfered with by the utilization of the
property in its present status.
3.That the structure intrudes into the right-of-way to such a degree that it is not
economically feasible to remove the part of the structure within the right-of-way.
4.That the land use in the neighborhood appears to be stable and the use to which
this property is being put is not likely to change within the foreseeable future and
is similar to the use to that of the neighborhood;
WHEREAS, the City Council after hearing the application and finding the specific facts as stated
above now concludes and finds that:
1.The fact that the structure was constructed within the right-of-way through no
fault of the present property owner and that it is not economically feasible to
remove the part of the structure within the right-of-way area does constitute
special circumstances and conditions affecting the property which if not take into
consideration would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his property.
2.The fact that the land use is not likely to change within the foreseeable future and
that it is not economically feasible to remove the part of the structure within the
right-of-way does provide a basis for granting the license necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of the substantial property right of the applicant.

Item No. 4.3.
Electric Single Phase Transformers from KBS Electric Distribution
Sponsor:Mary Ellen Leonard, Director of Fiscal Services
Reviewed By CBC:City Council
Agenda Caption:Presentation, discussion, and possible action on a bid award for the annual price
agreement of electric Single Phase Transformers, which will be maintained in electrical inventory and
expended as needed. The total recommended award is $358,770 for the purchase of Electric Single
Phase Transformers from KBS Electric Distribution.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends the award to the lowest responsible bidder which met the
specifications as follows:
KBS Electrical Distribution $358,770.00
Summary: On January 28, 2020, nine (9) sealed bids were received and opened for the Invitation to
Bid, 20-017 for the purchase of Electric Single Phase Transformers. Electric staff evaluated the bids
for compliance to the needed specifications and recommended awarding the contract to a single
vendor, KBS Electrical Distribution. The bids submitted by Wesco and Anixter had lower pricing but
did not meet the Single Phase Transformers requirements and were therefore not considered for this
award.
Upon Council approval, a blanket order will be issued to KBS Electrical Distribution for the period of
one year, with the option of two (2) one year renewals. The materials will be placed and maintained
in the Electrical inventory and expended as needed.
Budget & Financial Summary: Funds are budgeted and available in the Electrical Fund. Various
projects may be expenses as supplies are pulled from inventory and issued.
Reviewed & Approved by Legal: No

The PCCC owners approached the City in 2018 and requested the agreement be amended, to allow
