(3.2): Mary Ellen Leonard, Finance Director, provided a brief overview of Rates and Charges in

(3.6): Councilmember Maloney made a statement regarding the new traffic signal at the

(3.7): Aubrey Nettles, Economic Development Manager, explained that this property located
within the boundaries of the Interlocal Agreement, the District will develop and dedicate parks to
the City through the standard development dedication process. Additionally, the District will

Page 8 of 288
WKSHP031121 Minutes Page 3
(3.9): Aubrey Nettles, Economic Development Manager, stated that College Station Downtown
Residential, LLC, has filed a petition requesting consent to the annexation of 33.342 acres of land
into Rock Prairie Management District No. 2. Pursuant to Sect. 3909.110 and 3909.111 Texas
Special District Laws Code and Subchapter J, Chapter 49 Texas Water Code, the District must
obtain City approval for the annexation of land and subsequent issuance of bond indebtedness;
therefore, the District has come to the City for consent.
(3.14): Jeff Capps, Interim City Manager, explained that on March 2, 2021, Texas Governor Greg
Abbott issued Executive Order GA-34, which provided that while individuals are strongly
encouraged to wear face coverings over the nose and mouth wherever it is not feasible to maintain
six feet of social distancing from another person not in the same household, no person may be
required by any jurisdiction to wear or to mandate the wearing of a face covering. This goes into
effect at 12:01 a.m. on March 10, 2021. In order to not be in conflict with GA-34, staff
recommends that Council repeal Ordinance No. 2020-4197.
5. Workshop Agenda
5.1 Presentation, discussion, and possible action on the public input gathered on the proposed
Restricted Occupancy Overlay ordinance.
Alyssa Halle-Schramm, Planning and Development, stated that City Council requested that City
staff draft a Restricted Occupancy Overlay (ROO) ordinance and associated handbook that would
allow single-family property owners the option to request an overlay zoning restricting occupancy
to no more than two unrelated persons in their subdivision. The Council asked for a process that
mirrored the City’s Neighborhood Conservation Overlay ordinance and handbook, as well as used
the City of Bryan’s Residential-Neighborhood Conservation zoning district as a base. Ms. Halle-
Schramm explained that staff conducted research, drafted an ordinance and handbook, and
presented these during workshop sessions of the Planning & Zoning Commission on June 18,
2020, and City Council on June 25, 2020. The Council requested additional public input on a few
key items so that everyone impacted and particularly neighborhoods, the real estate and
development community, and university students could provide meaningful input. Staff began that
process in August 2020 and quickly identified there were substantial concerns regarding the City’s
definition of “related’ and how it affected the determination of a “family.”
In response to citizen concern and Council direction, staff paused the ROO public input process
and overhauled the definitions to address their restrictive nature and modernize them in accordance
with legal precedent. The updated definitions, which substantially revised “family” and removed
“related,” were adopted by the City Council on December 10, 2020. With the new “family”
definition in place, staff launched the ROO public input process. Staff hosted three public input
meetings that were specifically tailored to the aforementioned groups, including February 8 for the
real estate and development community, February 22 for university students, and February 23 for
neighborhood organizations. Staff also hosted an online poll from February 9 through 26.
At approximately 6:23 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened for Citizens Comments.
Jeff Leatherwood, College Station, came before Council representing a group to express that they
are not in support of the proposed ROO and how disappointed they are that this matter is before
council again. Mr. Leatherwood stated that the ROO is not in the best interest of the community
and its supporters are misrepresenting facts to gain support. He stated that passing this ROO would
Page 9 of 288
WKSHP031121 Minutes Page 4
take rights away from current and future property owners and still fail to make property more
affordable or address concerns surrounding student housing.
Donald Deere, College Station, came before Council representing a group to express their concerns
on a potential ROO which could remove existing rights and harm the financial interests of owners
in the process. If an ordinance was put into effect it should follow the structure and not the owner,
thus allowing grandfathering until the structure was substantially changed. He believes the
structure determines the use and largely helps determine the character of the neighborhood.
Fred Dupriest, College Station, came before Council representing a group to express support for
the proposed ROO and particularly the 50% +1 option for implementation. He stated that at higher
thresholds it becomes very difficult for the protections of a potential ROO to be enacted and by
his estimations only 15-18% of the 560 subdivisions are likely to obtain protection. Also, he
believes rentals in neighborhoods harm homeowners by artificially raising home prices and taxes,
and has a disproportionate effect on lower income home owners.
Charles Coats, College Station, stated that he is not in support of the ROO. He works with Habitat
of Humanity and believes that there should be an exception for owner occupied rentals.
Sherry Frisk, College Station, stated that she has been a longtime resident who believes that to
preserve neighborhoods and history the ROO could help with those.
David Higdon, College Station, stated that he has lived in 7 cities in the last 40 years and he has
seen bad communities and good communities. He believes that to protect neighborhoods the
proposed ROO should be moved forward.
Robert McGeachin, College Station, stated he is a former student who lived in a rental home and
eventually bought into the city. He believes that the nature of home rental has changed over time
and the ROO could help restore or preserve neighborhoods.
Diana Wood, College Station, stated that she is in support of the ROO as it helps protect
communities and prevents the home from being turned into a rent generating business.
Andra Wisian, College Station, stated that she owns a home which she bought for her children to
attend college but now rents it. She believes the ROO is unnecessary and intrusive on individuals
and property owners rights.
Richard Woodward, College Station, stated that he supports the ROO and adopting this proposed
ordinance will have minimal negative impact on rental property values.
Kathleen Harrison, College Station, stated that she is not in support of the ROO. She explained
that she bought a home for her college student and this will not achieve its goal of protecting
neighborhoods if adopted.
Patricia McDermott, College Station, explained that she has lived in College Station since 1976
but has been in Southside since 1999. Southside is now 75% student population and she is
requesting that council help by enacting a ROO as tool for neighborhoods.
Aundrea Ellis, College Station, came before council in support of the proposed ROO as she
believes it would bring integrity back to a peaceful neighborhood and to remove the havoc that the
rental properties have caused.
Page 10 of 288
WKSHP031121 Minutes Page 5
Linda Lee, College Station, stated that she is in support of the proposed ROO and explained that
while she has been waiting on her home to be built, she is living in a rental home. She stated that
many of the rental homes around her have been a problem with noise, traffic, safety of children
and the amount of trash.
Elianor Vessali, College Station, stated that she does not support the ROO and the rent-by-the-
room model forwarded by many supporters has been overstated in its use. This ordinance is based
on false logic and a desire to impose special interest group standards on property owners.
Margrit Moores, College Station, stated that a ROO will help stop the cancer that is eating away
at local family neighborhoods. She also stated if you do not live in this situation every day you
cannot understand what families are going through with the commercial rent model in
neighborhoods.
Virgia Thomas, College Station, stated that she is in support of the proposed ROO and suggested
that investors come and live in her neighborhood for a while and see what is happening. Ms.
Thomas explained that because of the traffic, noise, trash, drugs, and the overcrowding her elderly
mother and mother in law cannot even walk down the sidewalks.
There being no comments, the Citizens Comments was closed at 7:49 p.m.
A majority of Council directed staff to bring this item back as a regular agenda item at a special
Council meeting and include a draft ordinance incorporating the required petition percentage of
property owners in support of the ROO at 50% plus 1 and include a legacy clause regarding
substantial structural alterations, demolition, and lots divided.

3. Describe the experience of the firm in the last thirty-six (36) months in performing consulting services in
similar size and scope
In 2003, ACS began an in-house software project to incorporate the many years of experience into a streamlined
web and mobile solution. This solution provides the flexibility to allow the customer to implement and manage
any meter reading demand from one location. Because of the years of involvement in the utility’s process of
gathering meter reading data from the field, ACS gained valuable knowledge regarding accurate field data
acquisition and its expedition to the billing system, effective reporting and verification of misread or unread
accounts, and, the need to provide secure access to information by the client. While ACS grooms our service and
meter reading technicians to be the most capable and experienced in the water industry, the powerful software
mobile solution produced by ACS now controls the work flow of each ACS meter reader to produce the highest
accuracy and reliability of data provided to the utility that is found in the industry today.
ACS has documented experience with utilities throughout the US, Canada and Central America and is project
managing many others at the present time. Customers such as Atascadero Mutual Water has been using the
ACS contract meter reading services since the late 1970s, whereas clients such as Sacramento County and Paso
Robles, CA have used the services provided by ACS since the 1980s and 90s. Currently over 50 utilities
Page 39 of 288
5
(representing over 10 million meters annually read) across the country are using the ACS Contract Meter
Reading service and the Cloud SST meter reading product. Over 30 additional utilities are using the ACS Cloud
SST meter reading product in their primary read gathering process.

TAB D – Methodology Technical Approach and Understanding of the Scope of the Project
1. Proposals must include a narrative description of the Firms’ plan for accomplishing the work and
services to be provided to the City.
ACS will continue to make use of the powerful ACS Cloud Smart Server Technology meter reading system that
was originally implemented at the City of College Station during the first term contract. The mobile handheld
and web-based software guides the meter reader throughout the day’s work flow process and strictly ensures
accountability, accuracy and reliability in the meter reading data captured and returned to the client. Scheduled
routes and cycles prepared by the City and regularly assigned to the ACS meter readers will be read daily with an
urgency and awareness of required read and completion schedules to ensure timely billing. Meter reading
exception, field problems, maintenance issues during the day that are observed or encountered by the ACS
meter reader will be noted and communicated through codes, photos, notes to the web server or in the case of
very serious issues, direct to the ACS Supervisor.
Alexander’s Outline of the Number of Personnel for this Contract
ACS will use the following personnel to complete the daily read portions as scheduled and assigned through the
City’s route planning:
1 Regional Manager (Mike Lakes)
1 Supervisor (Matt Sotello)
1 Jr. Supervisor (Jose Garza)
8 Meter Readers
Alexander’s Products used in Our Solution
Hand Tools Including:
Pliers for lifting Lids
Handhelds for recording meter readings (ACS uses an Ultra-Rugged Android based Smart phone from Kyocera
using a Verizon M2M connection)
Metal Detectors
VersaProbe Touch Read Wands (as required)
Software Including:
Cloud Smart Server Technology Meter Reading System
The ability of ACS to provide superior performance in meter reading data collection through experienced and
conscientious field personnel is enhanced greatly by the use of the ACS Cloud Smart Server Technology meter
reading product. Since the Cloud SST product is web based, constant communication and notification can be
provided to client management via email and text message regarding the status of read and the various unread
and misread conditions coming from the field.
Page 44 of 288
10
All field data is made live on the client’s secure database portion of the Cloud Smart Server from the first read to
the last. Data is provided in “real-time since ACS crews use wireless rugged handheld technology in the field to
transfer data to the web server. This simple solution allows for our Supervisors to respond to early reading
exceptions as they occur. Mis-reads, unreads and problem meters can be quickly addressed as the information
is passed from the field to the ACS Supervisor electronically.
The web-based reports populate from the beginning of the read cycle and become complete upon the last
meter read in the cycle. Cloud SST comes with dozens of standard reports, yet customized reporting is available
by request of each ACS client.
When a reading cycle is complete, an email or text message can be sent to an authorized customer manager or
staff member at the City of College Station. There are many automated notifications that are triggered by
different reading events, and all reports can be accessed from the client’s Cloud SST web site. This allows for the
most efficient sharing of data possible between client’s key personnel, supervisors and managers.
The ACS Cloud SST meter reading product has been interfaced seamlessly to the City of College Station’s billing
system (by virtue of the previous contract term) and will remain in the upcoming contract. Because this
interface is currently set and running, there will be no requirement to alter any of the existing interface formats
for the upload and download files as related to the City of College Station’s billing system.
As a result of the implementation and use of the ACS Cloud meter reading system many operational benefits are
achieved because of ACS personnel and ACS’ latest developed software and handheld technology, and, intuitive
meter reading concepts. Through implementation and use of features provided by the Cloud SST product and
experience of the ACS meter reading crew at College Station a number of high-level efficiency and successes
help improve meter reading operations at the City of College Station:
• Consistent and Uninterrupted Meter Reading – ACS’ experienced and professional meter readers provide
consistently high-quality service in gathering and providing meter reads daily for the City of College Station,
TX. Meter readers are trained and managed in an extremely effective manner by capable ACS managers and
field supervisors. This will continue going forward.
• Timely Billing – The City of College Station is assured timely billing results through a successful program of,
fast wireless communications, real time read management, and efficient reread processing. Using the Cloud
SST wireless from field Handheld to Web Server, data is provided to the Utility on-time for each billing
requirement.
• Accuracy – Continued use of the Programmed Meter ID match and the Certified Photo features in the Cloud
SST meter reading product ensures greater accuracy and reduces re-read requirements that has resulted in
greater than 99.8% accuracy for every client.
• Cost Efficiency – The implementation of the Cloud SST meter reading product and ACS experienced meter
crews eliminate inefficient and redundant administrative costs, as well as costs associated with capital
assets and human resources management.
Page 45 of 288
11
• Accountability – The Certified Read Photo and GPS location taken at problem meters, as well as the Meter
ID Lock feature eliminates rereads and provides irrefutable proof to the City that the ACS meter reader was
at the correct meter and that the read was accurate.
• Reports and Compatibility – The City of College Station has a secure gateway through the CSST portal to
access reports, read status and history, and, along with a seamless interface to existing mainframe and
billing products.
• Re-Routing – An optional feature of the Cloud SST is a rerouting methodology in the Cloud SST product that
assists clients in reducing reading costs while obtaining 99.8% or greater accuracy. ACS takes existing routes,
and, independent and without disruption of the billing order, organizes them for the fastest, most accurate
path to obtaining the reads.
• Customer Service – The meter readers deployed by ACS at the City of College Station are trained and
experienced to notice existing or potential problems in the meter reading environment. They are trained to
provide valuable Customer Service communication in reporting these problems (through codes, photos and
notes on the handheld) which are transmitted back with each reading and problem meter.
• Certified Reads – The ACS meter readers will continue to collect information regarding critical reads at the
meter with irrefutable verification based upon Photo, GPS coordinates, Date, Time and ID Match. The Photo,
GPS Coordinates, Date and Time are provided to the City of College Station staff via the web-server based
software.
• Regular ACS Supervisor to College Station Personnel Contact – The ACS field supervisor and customer
project leader are in contact regularly through the process of our meter reader’s daily service to the client.
Contact is made regularly at frequencies of 2 to 3 times each week or whenever needed. Work processes,
field issues, new policy and adjusted direction from the utility are part of the discussions that occur between
the two managers.
2. Proposals must indicate a clear understanding of the scope of work, including a
detailed project plan for this engagement outlying major tasks and responsibilities, time
frames, and staff assigned for each category of the scope of work identified above.
Alexander’s Contract Services understands the City’s need to accurately and in timely manner have all
the water and electric meter reads performed each month. The reading process should be based
upon the timing schedule provided by the City for each route and cycle within the system. It is
important also that exceptions to standard reading and conditions found in the field which are
associated with the meter or property are reported by the ACS meter reader immediately (either
through notes, comments or photos taken at the meter, or, in extreme cases, through direct calls
through Supervisors who will then work with the City of reported issues).
Alexander’s also understands the importance throughout this contract of adherence to contract
terms and requirements, as well as, respect for the City, private properties and residences. All care
will be taken to ensure that ACS meter readers are consistently trained in safety measures in the
field, proper read processes for both water and electric meters, importance of highlighted read
Page 46 of 288
12
processes such as “Rush Week” read activities, exception reporting and proper personal conduct
while in the field.
Alexander’s meter readers and managers focus on ensuring that the current College Station billing
schedule for meter reads is strictly adhered to. ACS ensures that all reads will be provided in the
MVRS data format as requested by the City of College Station and is provided in a regular and timely
manner.
ACS meter readers and field management understand the need to make use of the VersaProbe for
some of the water meters and are prepared to do so along with manually entered reads. Reading
codes provided by the City are used by the ACS meter readers with an emphasis on ensuring
exception reporting from the meter is paramount along with the reading as is outlined in the
requirements of the reading contract. With these understandings in mind and others required by
contract, but not listed, Alexander’s proposes the following project plan for the new contract:

ABOUT THIS MODEL PROGRAM
Every California employer must establish, implement and maintain a written Injury and Illness Prevention
(IIP) Program and a copy must be maintained at each worksite or at a central worksite if the employer has
non-fixed worksites. The requirements for establishing, implementing and maintaining an effective written
Injury and Illness Prevention Program are contained in Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations,
Section 3203 (T8 CCR 3203) and consist of the following eight elements:
Responsibility
Compliance
Communication
Hazard Assessment
Accident/Exposure Investigation
Hazard Correction
Training and Instruction
Recordkeeping
This model program has been prepared for use by employers in industries which have been determined by
Cal/OSHA to be non-high hazard. You are not required to use this program. However, any employer in an
industry which has been determined by Cal/OSHA as being non-high hazard who adopts, posts, and
implements this model program in good faith is not subject to assessment of a civil penalty for a first
violation of T8 CCR 3203.
Proper use of this model program requires the IIP Program administrator of Alexander’s Contract Services,
Inc. to carefully review the requirements for each of the eight IIP Program elements found in this model
program, fill in the appropriate blank spaces and check those items that are applicable to the workplace.
The recordkeeping section requires that the IIP Program administrator select and implement the category
appropriate for your establishment. Sample forms for hazard assessment and correction,
accident/exposure investigation, and worker training and instruction are provided with this model
program.

Heat Illness Prevention
Program
Reference Standard
California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 3395
Purpose
The purpose of the Heat Illness Prevention Program is to meet the requirements set forth in the
Standard and to serve as a required supplement of the Injury and Illness Prevention (IIP)
Program. This program establishes procedures and provides information to ensure that
employees are knowledgeable in the prevention and recognition of heat stress to ensure their
own safety and the safety of others.
Definitions
Acclimatization: The temporary adaptation of the body to work in the heat that occurs
gradually when a person is exposed to it. Acclimatization peaks in most people within 4 to 14
days of regular work for at least 2 hours per day in the heat.
Heat Illness: Refers to a serious medical condition resulting from the body’s inability to cope
with a particular heat load and includes heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
Environmental Risk Factors for Heat Illness: Working conditions that create the possibility
that heat illness could occur include air temperature, relative humidity, radiant heat from the
sun and other sources, conductive heat sources such as the ground, air movement, workload
severity and duration, protective clothing and personal protective equipment worn by workers.
Personal Risk Factors for Heat Illness: Risk factors, such as an individual’s age, degree of
acclimatization, health, water consumption, alcohol consumption, caffeine consumption and use
of prescription medications, which affect the body’s water retention or other physiological
responses to heat.
Landscaping: Providing landscape care and maintenance services and/or installing trees,
shrubs, plants, lawns or gardens, or providing these services in conjunction with the design of
landscape plants and/or the construction/installation of walkways, retaining walls, decks,
fences, ponds and similar structures, except for employment by an employer who operates a
fixed establishment where the work is to be performed and where drinking water is plumbed.
Potentially Impacted Employees: Employees whose job tasks expose them to environmental
risk factors for heat illness.
Shade: The blockage of direct sunlight. One indicator that blockage is sufficient is when objects
do not cast a shadow in the area of blocked sunlight. Shade is not adequate when heat in the
area of shade defeats the purpose of shade, which is to allow the body to cool. Shade may be
provided by any natural or artificial means that do not expose employees to unsafe or
unhealthy conditions.
Temperature: Dry bulb temperature in degrees Fahrenheit obtainable by using a thermometer
to measure the outdoor temperature in an area where there is no shade. While the
measurement must be taken in an area with full sunlight, the bulb or sensor should be shielded
from direct contact by sunlight while taking the measurement.
Alexander’s Contract Services, Inc.
Effective Date: 9-1-13

Responsibilities
Health & Safety Coordinator
• Establish and update the written Heat Illness Prevention Program.
• Provide consultation/training to departments who fall within the program.
• Assist departments in determining when, where, and how shade and water is provided.
Supervisors
• Identify and maintain records of all tasks/employees that are required to work outdoors where
potential heat illness could occur.
• Require all potentially impacted employees to receive proper training on heat illness prevention and
comply with all appropriate procedures.
• Maintain training records.
• Ensure that adequate water is available at the beginning of each shift and throughout the work
day.
• Ensure access to shade for purposes of a preventative recovery period is available during the work
day.
• Follow proper procedures to contact emergency medical services in the event medical assistance is
required.
Employees
• Awareness and compliance with all appropriate heat illness prevention procedures while performing
assigned duties.
• Employees are ultimately responsible for drinking adequate amounts of hydrating fluids when the
environmental risk factors for heat illness are present.
• Ensure access to a shaded area is available to recover from heat-related symptoms.
• Inform their supervisor if shade and/or water are inadequate.
• Report symptoms of heat-related illness promptly to their supervisor.
• Follow proper procedures in the event medical assistance is required.
Basic Requirements
Provision of Water
Employees shall have access to potable drinking water. Where water is not plumbed, or
otherwise continuously supplied, it shall be provided in sufficient quantity at the beginning of
the work shift. Sufficient quantity is defined as enough to provide one quart per employee per
hour for drinking for the entire shift. The frequent drinking of water, as described in the training
section, shall be encouraged.
Access to Shade
One or more areas with shade – large enough to accommodate 25 percent of the employees on
shift sitting in a normal posture – will be present that is either open or provided with ventilation
or cooling at all times when the temperature exceeds 85 degrees F. Such access to shade shall
be permitted whenever employees are present.
High-Heat Procedures
When the temperature exceeds 95 degrees F, supervisors will ensure that employees are able
to contact a supervisor if necessary, observe employees for signs of heat illness, remind
employees to drink water throughout the work shift and supervise employees closely during
their first 14 days of outdoor work in 30 days.
Page 71 of 288
Training
Effective training must be provided for all potentially impacted employees working where
environmental risk factors for heat illness are present before they begin work that should
reasonably be anticipated to result in exposure to the risk of heat illness. Training information
shall include, but is not limited to, the topics listed in the training section of this program. All
potentially impacted employees, and supervisors who supervise these employees, must be
trained on the risks and prevention of heat illness, including how to recognize heat illness
symptoms and how to respond when they appear.
Recordkeeping
A record of training given to employees and supervisors shall be retained by the company for a
minimum of three years. This can be accomplished by requiring employees to sign their name

OVERVIEW OF HEAT ILLNESS TYPES,
SYMPTOMS AND PREVENTION
Page 76 of 288
Overview of Heat Illness Types, Symptoms and Prevention
This describes the three major forms of heat illness, how to recognize them and what actions to take to
provide first-aid before medical care is provided.
Heat Cramps
Heat cramps are the most common type of heat-related injury. Heat cramps are muscle spasms which
usually affect the arms, legs or stomach. Heat cramps are caused by heavy sweating, especially when
water is not replaced quickly enough. Frequently they do not occur until after work, at night or when
relaxing. Although heat cramps can be quite painful, they usually don't result in permanent damage.
Prevention/First-Aid: Drink an electrolyte solution, such as sports drink, or plenty of water during the
day, and try eating more fruits to help keep your body hydrated during hot weather.
Heat Exhaustion
Heat exhaustion is more serious than heat cramps. It occurs when the body's internal temperature
regulating system is overworked, but has not completely shut down. In heat exhaustion, the surface
blood vessels and capillaries, which originally enlarged to cool the blood, collapse from loss of body
fluids and necessary minerals. This happens when you do not drink enough fluids to replace what you
are sweating away.
Symptoms Include: Headache, heavy sweating, intense thirst, dizziness, fatigue, loss of coordination,
nausea, impaired judgment, loss of appetite, hyperventilation, tingling in hands or feet, anxiety, cool
moist skin, weak and rapid pulse (120-200), and low to normal blood pressure.
Prevention/First Aid: The employee suffering these symptoms should be moved to a cool location such
as a shaded area or air-conditioned building. Have him or her lie down with the feet slightly elevated.
Loosen their clothing, apply cool, wet cloths or fan them. Have them drink water or electrolyte drinks.
Try to cool them down, and have them checked by medical personnel. Victims of heat exhaustion
should avoid strenuous activity for at least a day, and they should continue to drink water to replace
lost body fluids. Call 911 if the person becomes non-responsive, refuses water, vomits or loses
consciousness
Heat Stroke
Heat stroke is a life-threatening illness with a high death rate. It occurs when the body has depleted
its supply of water and salt, and the victim's core body temperature rises to deadly levels. A heat
stroke victim may first suffer heat cramps and/or heat exhaustion before progressing into the heat
stroke stage; however this is not always the case. It is important to note that heat stroke symptoms
are similar to those of a heart attack. Therefore, it is very important to know how to recognize the
signs and symptoms of heat stroke and to check for them any time an employee collapses while
working in a hot environment.
Symptoms include: A high body temperature (103 degrees F); a distinct absence of sweating; hot red
or flushed dry skin; rapid pulse; difficulty breathing; constricted pupils; any/all of the signs or
symptoms of heat exhaustion such as dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting or confusion; and
possibly more severe systems including bizarre behavior and high blood pressure. Advanced symptoms
may be seizure or convulsions, collapse, loss of consciousness and a body temperature of over 108
degrees F.
Prevention/First Aid: It is vital to lower a heat stroke victim's body temperature. Quick actions can
mean the difference between life and death. Pour water on them, fan them or apply cold packs. Call
911 to get the person medical aid as soon as possible.

PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT HEAT ILLNESSES
Page 78 of 288
PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT HEAT ILLNESSES
• Condition yourself for working in hot environments. Start slowly and build up to more
physical work. Allow your body to adjust over a few days (acclimatization).
• Drink plenty of liquids – hydration is a continuous process. Do not wait until you are
thirsty! By then, there is a good chance that you are already on your way to being
dehydrated. Electrolyte drinks, such as a sports drink, are good for replacing both water
and minerals lost through sweating. Never drink alcohol, and avoid caffeinated
beverages like coffee and soda, as these liquids can have the opposite effect and can
actually increase the level of dehydration.
• Take frequent breaks, especially if you notice you are getting a headache or you start
feeling overheated.
• Assure that adequate water and shade are available at the job site before work begins.
• Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing when working out in the sun.
• Immediately report all unsafe conditions and/or concerns to your supervisor or area
manager.
• For additional information on heat illness prevention, contact your supervisor.

virtual meeting to discuss the parking removal on the evening of Wednesday, December 2, 2020.
The Community Services Department provided email notification regarding the meeting to
approximately 70 Northgate contacts, though the only participants that attended were related to the
project or City staff. The Community Services Department mentioned the proposed parking removal
as part of stakeholder engagement for the draft Northgate Operations Plan during the week of March

on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis, revenues are recognized when they become
measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. Expenditures are recognized when the
related fund liability is incurred with the exception of unmatured interest on long term debt which is recognized
when due and certain compensated absences and claims and judgments such as accrued vacation leave which are
Page 133 of 288
recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable resources.
The budgets for the Enterprise and Internal Service Funds are similarly prepared on the modified accrual basis of
accounting where cash transactions are included in the budget presentation in lieu of non-cash transactions such
as depreciation. The focus is on the net change in working capital (current assets less current liabilities).
The budget is prepared with the cooperation of all City Departments, and is submitted to the City Manager who
makes any necessary changes before presentation to City Council. The budget shall be presented to the City
Council no later than six weeks prior to fiscal year end, and shall be enacted by the City Council on or before the
twenty-seventh day of the last month of the preceding fiscal year.
The budget process will be coordinated so as to identify major policy issues for City Council. The budget process
will be a part of an overall strategic planning process for the City.
2.1.BALANCED BUDGET.
The operating budget will be balanced with current revenues, exclusive of beginning resources, greater than or
equal to current expenditures/expenses. Excess balances shall be used as capital funds or other non-recurring
expenditures.
2.2.DEVELOPMENT OF AN APPROVED BUDGET.
.
a.The budget shall include four basic segments for review and evaluation: (1) personnel costs, (2)
base budget for operations and maintenance costs, (3) service level adjustments for increases or
decreases to existing service levels, and (4) revenues.
b.The budget review process shall include Council participation in the development of each of the
four segments of the approved budget and two public hearings to allow for citizen participation
in the budget preparation.
c.The budget process shall span sufficient time to address policy and fiscal issues by the Council.
d.A copy of the approved budget shall be filed with the City Secretary when it is submitted to the
City Council in accordance with the provisions of the City Charter.
2.3.ADOPTION.
Upon the presentation of a proposed budget document to the Council, the Council shall call and publicize two

The operating budget will be submitted annually to the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for
evaluation and consideration for the Award for Distinguished Budget Presentation.
2.5.BUDGET REPORTING.
Periodic financial reports will be prepared to monitor and control the budget.. Summary financial reports will be
presented to the City Manager and City Council quarterly as soon as possible, preferably within thirty (30) working
days after the end of each quarter. Such reports will be in a format appropriate to enable the City Council to
Page 134 of 288
understand the big picture budget status.
2.6.CONTROL.
Operating expense control is addressed in Section 4 of these Policies.
2.7.CONTINGENT APPROPRIATION.
Pursuant to Section 58 of the Charter of the City of College Station, the City will establish an adequate contingent
appropriation in each of the operating funds. The expenditure for this appropriation shall be made only in cases
of emergency, and a detailed account shall be recorded and reported. The proceeds shall be disbursed only by
transfer to departmental appropriation. The transfer of this budget appropriation shall be under the control of
the City Manager and may be distributed by him in amounts not exceeding $100,000. Any transfer involving more
than $100,000 must be expressly approved by the City Council.
All transfers from the contingent appropriation will be evaluated using the following criteria:
1.Is the request of such an emergency nature that it must be made immediately?
2.Why was the item not budgeted in the normal budget process?
3.Why can’t the transfer be made within the division or department?
3.REVENUE MANAGEMENT.
3.1.OPTIMUM CHARACTERISTICS.
1.SIMPLICITY. The City, where possible and without sacrificing accuracy, will strive to keep the
revenue system simple in order to reduce compliance costs for the taxpayer or service recipient.
A corresponding decrease in the City’s cost of collection and a reduction in avoidance to pay will
thus result. The City will avoid nuisance taxes or charges as revenue sources.
2.CERTAINTY. The City will understand its revenue sources and enact consistent collection policies
to provide assurances that the revenue base will materialize according to budgets and plans.
3.EQUITY. The City shall make every effort to maintain equity in its revenue system; i.e., the City
shall seek to minimize or eliminate all forms of subsidization between entities, funds, services,
utilities, and customer classes.
4.REVENUE ADEQUACY. The City shall require that there be a balance in the revenue system; i.e.,
the revenue base will have the characteristic of fairness and neutrality as it applies to cost of
service, willingness to pay, and ability to pay.
5.ADMINISTRATION. The benefits of a revenue source will exceed the cost of levying and collecting
that revenue. The cost of collection will be reviewed for cost effectiveness as a part of the indirect
cost and cost of service analysis. Where appropriate, the City will use the administrative processes
of State or Federal collection agencies in order to reduce administrative costs.
6.DIVERSIFICATION AND STABILITY. A diversified revenue system with a stable source of income
Page 135 of 288
shall be maintained. This approach will help avoid instabilities in particular revenue sources due
to factors such as fluctuations in the economy and variations in the weather. Stability is achieved
by a balance between elastic and inelastic revenue sources.
3.2.OTHER CONSIDERATIONS.
1.COST/BENEFIT OF INCENTIVES FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. The City will use due caution in
the analysis of any tax or fee incentives that are used to encourage development. Ideally, a
cost/benefit (fiscal impact) analysis will be performed as part of such evaluation.
2.NON-RECURRING REVENUES. One-time or non-recurring revenues will not be used to finance
ongoing operations. Non-recurring revenues should be used only for one-time expenditures such
as long-lived capital needs. They will not be used for budget balancing purposes.
3.PROPERTY TAX REVENUES. All real and business personal property located within the City shall be
valued at 100% of the fair market value for any given year based on the current appraisal supplied
to the City by the Brazos County Appraisal District.
4.A ninety-six and one half percent (96.5%) collection rate shall serve each year as a minimum goal
for tax collections. The City Manager may, for budget and forecasting purposes, use up to the tax
rate in effect for the current year’s budget. The City Manager may justify a tax rate that is different
from the current tax rate. The justification will be based on City Council directions, needs arising
from debt service, or other conditions as may arise from time to time.
3.3.INVESTMENT INCOME.
Earnings from investment (both interest and capital gains) of available monies, whether pooled or not, will be
distributed to the funds in accordance with the equity balance of the fund from which monies were provided to
be invested.
3.4.USER-BASED FEES AND SERVICE CHARGES.
For services associated with a user fee or charge, the direct and indirect costs of that service will be offset by a
fee where possible. There will be a review of fees and charges no less than once every three years to ensure that
fees provide adequate coverage of costs of services. User charges may be classified as “full cost recovery,” “partial
cost recovery I,” “partial cost recovery II” and “minimal cost recovery,” based upon City Council policy.
1.Full fee support (80-100%) will be obtained from enterprise operations such as utilities, solid
waste service, landfill, cemetery and licenses and permits.
2.Partial fee support I (50-80%) will be generated by charges for emergency medical services,
miscellaneous licenses and fines, and all adults’ sports programs.
3.Partial fee support II (20%-50%) will be generated by charges for youth programs and activities.
4.Minimum fee support (0-20%) will be obtained from other parks, recreational and cultural
programs and activities.
3.5.ENTERPRISE FUND RATES.
The City will review and adopt utility rates as needed to generate revenues required to fully cover operating
expenses, meet the legal restrictions of all applicable bond covenants, and provide for an adequate level of
working capital.
Page 136 of 288
3.6.GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE (G&A) CHARGES.
G&A costs will be charged to all funds for services of general overhead, such as administration, finance, customer
billing, personnel, technology, engineering, legal counsel, and other costs as appropriate. The charges will be
determined through an indirect cost allocation study following accepted practices and procedures.
3.7.Unmetered City of College Station Street Light Costs.
The electric power cost related to the unmetered City of College Station street lights will be incurred in the Electric
Fund as part of the overall purchased power cost. The General Fund will reimburse the Electric Fund for the
estimated cost of this service. The reimbursement amount will be estimated on an annual basis and will be based
on the number of applicable street lights, estimated power consumption and estimated maintenance costs.
3.8.Utility Transfer to General Fund.
The intent of this transfer is to provide a benefit to the citizens for their ownership of the various utility operations.
An in-lieu-of-franchise fee is included as part of the rate computation of the transfer and is consistent with the
franchise rates charged to investor owned utilities franchised to operate within the City.
1.Electric Fund In-Lieu-of-Franchise Fee - The in-lieu-of-franchise fee will be calculated based on kWh usage
at a rate of that would equate to an approximate 9% franchise fee. The final total transfer amount will not
exceed 9% of total estimated operating revenues.
2.Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste Funds – This transfer will be made in accordance with the following
two methods, not to exceed 10% of the total estimated operating revenues for these Funds:
1.In-Lieu-of-Franchise Fee. In-lieu-of-franchise fee will be included as part of the rate
computation at 10% of gross sales consistent with the franchise rates charged to investor
owned utilities franchised to operate within the City.
2.Utility Transfer to the General Fund. This transfer will be calculated at 10% of total Fund
Equity.
3.9.INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUES.
The City will not be reliant on intergovernmental revenues (grants). Any potential grants will be examined for
matching and continuation of program requirements. These revenue sources should be used only for projects and
programs where operating and maintenance costs that have been included in the financial forecast and their
ultimate effect on operations and revenue requirements are anticipated.
3.10.REVENUE MONITORING.
Revenues as they are received will be regularly compared to budgeted revenues and variances will be investigated.
4.EXPENDITURE CONTROL
4.1.APPROPRIATIONS.
The point of budgetary control is at the department level in the General Fund and at the fund level in all other
funds. When budget adjustments among Departments and/or funds are necessary, they must be approved by the

1.Inter-fund transfers involving an internal replacement fund; in the case of funds being moved to
or from any of the replacement funds (IT, Equipment, or Fleet),

MISCELLANEOUS FISCAL SERVICES POLICY
Page 137 of 288

Amendment 2 amending Ordinance No. 2020-4206 which will amend the budget for the 2020-2021
Fiscal Year in the amount of $1,264,249.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
1. Good Governance
2. Financial Sustainability
3. Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends the City Council approve Budget Amendment #2.
Summary: The proposed budget amendment is to increase the FY21 budget appropriations by
$1,264,249 primarily as a result of $822,000 of grant funds received under the Community
Development Block Grant COVID-19 Relief Funds. A Police Hostage Negotiation Vehicle and
replacement for a truck that caught on fire amount to an additional $242,000. The cost of the closure
of Boyett Street and parkland dedication appropriations and amount to the remainder of the
amendment. Attached is a summary with a complete description of the items included on the
proposed budget amendment. The charter of the City of College Station provides for the City Council
to amend the annual budget in the event there are revenues available to cover expenditures and
after holding a public hearing on such budget amendment. This amendment also includes two
Interfund transfers totaling $425,000 that have no overall budget impact.
Budget & Financial Summary: The City has resources or can reasonably expect resources to cover
the appropriations in this budget amendment. The attached summary has the complete description of
the items included on the proposed budget amendment and a description of the interfund transfers. If
approved, the net revised budget appropriations will be $316,984,759.

Page 149 of 288
Exhibit A – FY21 Budget Amendment #2 Detail Listing
1.PD Hostage Negotiation Vehicle - $200,000 (Budget Amendment & Interfund Transfer)
The Police Department currently has a Hostage Negotiation Trailer which must be joined to a
vehicle for hostage negotiation situations. The trailer was scheduled for replacement in FY20 and
encumbered into FY21. Rather than purchasing a new trailer the Police Department plans to
purchase one self-contained Hostage Negotiation Vehicle (HNV). The cost of the combined HNV
is $278,000. There is already $78,000 budgeted in the Fleet Replacement Fund for the trailer. This
amendment is to authorize the additional $200,000 expense from the Fleet Replacement Fund.
The funding will be made available by permanently removing a Command Vehicle and a Jail
Transportation Van from the Fleet Replacement Fund. Sixty thousand dollars have been
contributed to the Fleet Replacement Fund for the Command vehicle and $140,000 have been
contributed for the Jail Transportation Van.
2.Boyett Street Closure -- $110,000 (Budget Amendment)
Due to public safety concerns, Boyett Street will need to be closed every Friday and Saturday. This
amendment will cover the cost of street closure with a steel barrier until the end of August with
a contractor provided Area Wide Protective (AWP) equipment rental and labor costs. This cost
will be recorded in the General Fund in the Community Services department will be covered by
additional sales taxes received in the General Fund. The long- term solution will be the Boyett
Street bollards and construction is scheduled to start Summer 2021 and will be operational in
August 2021. Construction will be funded via existing budget savings in the Streets Capital
Improvement Projects Fund.
3.Wastewater Truck Replacement Cost - $42,000 (Budget Amendment)
This budget amendment item will allow the department to replace a vehicle lost in a fire. The
department was previously scheduled to replace a similar vehicle. This replacement included a
trade in credit of $42,000. However, due to the unexpected fire and vehicle loss, the department
can no longer trade in the remaining vehicle. Therefore, this budget amendment will allow the
department to purchase the replacement vehicle without the trade in credit. This item will be
offset by additional Wastewater operating revenue. Any insurance proceeds received will go
towards the vehicle replacement in FY21.
4.Community Development Block Grant-CV Funds -- $822,034 (Budget Amendment)
College Station was allocated an additional $822,034 in CDBG-CV funds from HUD for economic
assistance due to COVID-19. This was passed in Resolution No. 12-10-20-3.11. This amendment
allows for the expenditure of those funds.
5.Parkland Dedication CIP - $71,040 (Budget Amendment)
Parkland Dedication funds are appropriated as received and projects are identified. Since the
creation of the FY21 Budget, an additional $71,040 has been received and projects are identified.
This item will appropriate budget in Community Zone A.
Page 150 of 288
Exhibit A – FY21 Budget Amendment #2 Detail Listing
6.Prior Year Copier Replacements - $19,175 (Budget Amendment)
Three (3) copiers funded through the IT Replacement Fund were eligible for replacement in FY19
and FY20 and departments had sufficiently contributed into the fund to cover the cost of these
copiers. However, the operating departments chose to postpone these purchases. This
amendment is to authorize the release of funding to purchase these copiers in FY21.
7.Water/Wastewater Contingency CIP Transfer - $225,000 (Interfund Transfer)
This item is a Contingency CIP Transfer request. As part of the Council-directed and approved
James Parkway and Puryear Drive Rehabilitation project, Water Services recognized the need to
rehabilitate a small portion of existing Water/Wastewater lines. However, these utility projects
are currently unfunded. If approved, staff will coordinate the utility rehabilitation with the
existing Streets project. The net effect of this Transfer request is zero. FY21 budget was previously
approved on Water/Wastewater Contingency projects. This transfer will reduce the Contingency
budget and increase it by the same amount on the new utility rehabilitation projects.

Item No. 4.4.
Ordinance amending Appendix A, “Unified Development Ordinance,” Article 4, “Zoning
Districts,” Section 4.2 “Official Zoning Map,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College
Station, Texas by changing the zoning district boundaries from R Rural to E Estate and NAP
Natural Areas Protected on approximately 57 acres of land located at 9500 Rock Prairie Road.
Sponsor:Rachel Lazo
Reviewed By CBC:City Council
Agenda Caption:Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an
ordinance amending Appendix A, “Unified Development Ordinance,” Article 4, “Zoning Districts,”
Section 4.2 “Official Zoning Map,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, by
changing the zoning district boundaries from R Rural to E Estate and NAP Natural Areas Protected
on approximately 57 acres of land located at 9500 Rock Prairie Road.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission heard this item at their March 4, 2021
regular meeting where they unanimously voted to recommend approval with the following condition:
The development of Williams Creek Reserve located on 57 acres on Rock Prairie Road will be
limited by the existing McCullough-McCollough Unit 1 oil and gas well located on the property. No
residential lots will be located within 300’ of the wellhead per International Fire Code requirements or
within the Acceptable Separation Distance for Thermal Radiation for People (ASDPNPD) of 483 feet
from the 73’’ x 20’ Heater Treater located at the wellsite. This distance was calculated using the
Acceptable Separation Distance Assessment Tool provided by the U.S Department of Housing and
Urban Development.
Staff also recommends approval of the rezoning.
Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 57 acres of land located east of the intersection
at Rock Prairie Road and William D. Fitch. The subject property currently has an operating oil and
gas well on site and is a planned expansion of the existing Williams Creek Reserve Subdivision. The
condition proposed will ensure any future residential development will provide adequate spacing from
the wellsite.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan:
The subject property is designated as Estate and Natural Areas Reserved on the Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. The Estate designation is generally for areas that, due to
Page 193 of 288
public service limitations or prevailing rural character, should have limited development activities.
These areas will tend to consist of low-density single-family residential lots of at least one acre in size
or lots that average 20,000 square feet clustered around open space. Natural Areas Reserved is
intended for areas that should be preserved for their natural function, such as floodplain and riparian
buffers. This request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of the
surrounding area:
The proposed Estate zoning allows for large-lot single family residential uses. Given the property’s
adjacency to the existing Williams Creek Reserve Subdivision and rural residential lots to the east,
the proposed use would be easily incorporated with the existing developments. The proposed
Natural Areas Protected zoning is anticipated to protect the FEMA floodplain from excessive
development and maintain its natural state. While this area is currently zoned R Rural, the proposed
zoning districts comply with the anticipated future land uses along this corridor as outlined in the
Comprehensive Plan.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district:
The property has over 1,300 feet of frontage and takes access to Rock Prairie Road, which is a
future 4-lane Major Arterial. The proposed Estate zoning is suitable for the future subdivision of land
for acreage homesites and would have adequate access and utility availability. The northern portion
of the subject property contains FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain and is proposed to be
protected from development by being zoned NAP Natural Areas Protected. Additionally, the condition
proposed with the rezoning request will provide a minimum separation from the existing oil wellsite
that is required to safely develop additional residential lots. The subject property is physically suitable
for the proposed zoning districts.
4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district:
Fire flow and domestic water service will generally be served by Wellborn SUD; however, there is a
small portion of the property along Rock Prairie Road within the City of College Station’s Water CCN
that will require the extension of City service lines. Currently, there are no sanitary sewer lines in the
area available to serve the property. Individual lots may use On-Site Sewage Facilities (OSSFs)
permitted by the Brazos County Health Department. With site development, the property will need to
be designed to accommodate future public sanitary sewer service.
The subject property generally drains to the northeast within the Carter’s Creek drainage basin and
contains FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Drainage improvements and other public
infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with
the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines.
The subject property has frontage along Rock Prairie Road, which is designated on the Thoroughfare
Plan as a proposed 4-lane Major Arterial. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was not required as part of
the rezoning request.
5. The marketability of the property:
The applicant states that the marketability of the tract is limited with the existing R Rural zoning as a
Page 194 of 288
low number of lots could be created that do not support the cost of the required infrastructure. Should
the rezoning request be approved, it is anticipated to increase the marketability of the property.

Agenda Caption:Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an
ordinance amending Appendix A, “Unified Development Ordinance,” Article 4, “Zoning Districts,”
Section 4.2 “Official Zoning Map,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, by
changing the zoning district boundaries from R Rural and CI Commercial Industrial to BP Business
Park on approximately 10 acres of land located at 4520 Raymond Stotzer Parkway.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission heard this item at their March 4, 2021
regular meeting where they unanimously voted to recommend approval. Staff recommends approval
of the rezoning.
Summary: The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property from R Rural and CI
Commercial Industrial to BP Business Park. The property is on the periphery of the BioCorridor. This
request is the first step towards developing the subject tract and the adjacent parcel to the north as
part of a planned campus development.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan:
The subject lot is designated Business Park on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and
Character Map and is also located in the Presidential Corridor Gateway District. The Comprehensive
Plan describes Business Park as areas that include office, research and development, or industrial
uses planned and developed as a unified project. This area was identified in the Comprehensive
Plan as one that should focus on accommodating businesses including research and development,
office, and light industrial. These uses should build on the assets existing in the area while protecting
and enhancing this primary gateway into the City. In addition, the City’s Economic Development
Master Plan’s goal for this area is to provide adequate opportunities to respond to market
opportunities as it relates to supporting and stimulating biotechnology research and advanced
manufacturing. The proposed zoning district is consistent with the existing uses in the nearby area,
such as Fujifilm and Viasat.
2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of the
surrounding area:
Page 209 of 288
The property has over 1,000 feet of frontage and takes access to Raymond Stotzer Parkway, which
is an existing Freeway/Expressway. The subject area is directly adjacent to the BioCorridor, which
allows for various office, research and development, and industrial uses. The rezoning request is in
anticipation of a planned campus development on the adjacent property to the north. The proposed
zoning district will further the Comprehensive Plan’s goal for unified development and provide
additional opportunities to support primary job creation.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district:
The site meets the minimum dimensional standards for the Business Park zoning district and is
planned to be part of a larger campus development. The size and location of the subject property is
suitable for business park uses.
4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district:
There is an existing Wellborn water line along Raymond Stotzer Frontage Road. There is a City of
College Station Water Master Plan line along the north of the subject property that will be extended
with platting. The sanitary service for this property will be provided by the City of Bryan and is located
along the north property line. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site development
shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Existing
infrastructure appears to be adequate for the proposed use at this time.
5. The marketability of the property:
The tract is currently marketable with its current zoning, but the present uses, rural residential and
group housing, are not appropriate for its location. Rezoning the property will increase its
marketability.

Ordinance amending Appendix A, “Unified Development Ordinance,” Article 4, “Zoning
Districts,” Section 4.2 “Official Zoning Map,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College
Station, Texas by changing the zoning district boundaries from M-2 Heavy Industrial to CI
Commercial Industrial on approximately 2.6 acres of land located at 777 Graham Road.

Section 4.2 “Official Zoning Map,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, by
changing the zoning district boundaries from M-2 Heavy Industrial to CI Commercial Industrial on
approximately 2.6 acres of land located at 777 Graham Road.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): At the time of writing of this report, the Planning & Zoning Commission had
not met to hear this item. This item was postponed to a later meeting due to the February 18, 2021
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting being cancelled due to weather. The Planning & Zoning
Commission will hear this item at their March 18, 2021 regular meeting.
Staff also recommends approval of the rezoning.
Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 2.6 acres of land located near the intersection of
Graham Road and Victoria Avenue from M-2 Heavy Industrial to CI Commercial Industrial. The
subject property was platted and site planned in 2019 for a business park development. This request
is in effort to provide a similar product while offering a wider spectrum of uses.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan:
The subject property is designated as Business Park on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
and Character Map. The Business Park land use designation is intended for areas that include office,
research, or industrial uses planned as a unified project. The property is currently zoned M-2 Heavy
Industrial, which is a retired zoning district that allows manufacturing and industrial activities that
generate great amounts of nuisances generally not compatible with residential uses or lower intensity
commercial uses. The proposed zoning is designed for uses that primarily serve other commercial
and industrial enterprises. CI Commercial Industrial permits uses similar to those allowed in the M-2
zoning district, with the addition of some commercial uses, allowing the property to be developed
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Page 223 of 288
2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of the
surrounding area:
The proposed zoning allows for industrial and commercial uses, which is compatible with the
development on adjacent properties. Given the property’s close proximity to multiple existing
industrial uses and a commercial office, the planned business park and any additional commercial
uses would be easily incorporated with the existing developments. While this area was zoned M-2
Heavy Industrial about 30 years ago, it has developed with uses less intense than allowed by
zoning. The CI Commercial Industrial zoning will increase the amount of commercial uses permitted
on the property, which would be comparable with existing adjacent uses and allow it to be more
compatible with the residential uses in the area.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district:
The property has over 270 feet of frontage and takes access to Graham Road, which is an existing
Major Collector. The major collector can support the land uses that the proposed zoning would allow.
The subject property is not in the FEMA floodplain. The subject property is physically suitable for the
proposed zoning district.
4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district:
Water, sanitary sewer, and fire flow will be served by College Station Utilities. There are existing
water and sanitary sewer lines adjacent to the property. There is sufficient capacity for the proposed
uses.
The subject property is in the Lick Creek drainage basin and drains towards the north. The property
is not encumbered by FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Detention will be required with site
development.
5. The marketability of the property:
The property can be marketed under the current zoning which allows for intense industrial uses.
However, the applicant is proposing to incorporate additional commercial uses. This is anticipated to
increase the marketability of the property.

List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change
necessary.
The demand for commercial industrial developments remains high, updating the retired M-2 Heavy Industrial
zoning to CI Commercial Industrial will meet the demands for a more variety of uses.
Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not,
explain why the Plan is incorrect.
The zoning change is in accordance with the comprehensive plan.
How will this zone change be compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby
property and with the character of the neighborhood?
The current zoning district is M-2 Industrial which is suitable for this property, however this retired district would
be under utilized and would not be used for its highest and best use.
Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested.
The utility infrastructure is in place to support the requested zoning and the land characteristics such as
vegetation and topography are suitable for the requested zoning.

The utility infrastructure is in place to support the requested zoning and the land characteristics such as
vegetation and topography are suitable for the requested zoning.
Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
The limited uses allowed in the current zoning district will result in a low number of users for the development

Re: Fee Proposal for Professional Services
Topographic Survey – Thomas Park area in College Station, Texas
Baseline-Joe Orr (JO) appreciates the opportunity to provide this Scope and Fee Proposal for
surveying services to Binkley & Barfield (Client), the prime contractor on this City of College
Station (City) project, for the street reconstruction and utility improvements in the area generally
bounded by Francis Ave., James Pkwy., Kyle Ave. and Puryear Dr. and including the sections of
Thomas Park southeast of Francis Ave. in College Station, Texas (Project Site).
Survey Scope:
JO will perform the following survey-related scope items:
Right-of-Entry
Coordinate with Client and contracted arborist to notify and seek landowner and resident
permission in private properties where on-the-ground access is needed, prior to beginning any
work on fenced private property.
Survey Control
Install accurate horizontal and vertical survey control, referenced to City GPS control
monuments and datums (NAD83 / NAVD88).
8-1-1 / City Coordination
Request 8-1-1 utility locations and coordinate with the City to have necessary utility marks,
probes and/or potholes. Locate the utility marks as well as all additional above-ground features
discovered (valves, poles, manholes, etc.).
Topographic Survey
Perform a comprehensive Topographic Survey of the Project Site including a minimum of 10
feet beyond the right-of-way lines opposite Thomas Park, plus adjoining, existing public
easements, where private owner permission is not declined. Also, requested utility features
outside of the Project Site will be located where necessary and requested. All pertinent surface
features, sufficient elevation points, fences, walls, visible and marked utility features and lines,
and trees identified by arborist. Tree canopy edge points on ID’d trees will also be located.
Depths in sanitary and storm sewer manholes and accessible drain pipes and structures will be
obtained.
Records Research
Gather existing easement documents, plats, deeds, utility plans, GIS files and various maps in
the Project Site. Plot these in CAD and best-fit them together and to the surveyed points.
Comprehensive title research is not included in this scope, nor are right-of-way parcel or
easement surveys. Any record data provided from the Client and City will be ‘best-fitted’.
Page 245 of 288
Page 2
Existing Right-of-Way and Easements
Find and locate property corners, R.O.W. points and physical features needed to fit existing
plats, deeds, known easements into the topographic survey drawing. This step should obtain a
close approximate fit of the property lines but will not be considered a Boundary Survey of the
adjoining properties. If more accurate line determination is needed, it may require survey
services outside of the scope of this proposal. This can be discussed when better property line
determination in specific locations of the Project Site are identified.
Topo CAD Files with surface model
Create 3d CAD file(s) w/ digital surface model (TIN) of the comprehensive surveying work with
most recent aerial imagery fitted as background.
Deliverables:
JO will create and maintain the CAD files in AutoCAD Civil 3d software, but .dgn and .xml output
files will also be generated as deliverables. A digital surface model with ‘spot’ elevation points,
breaklines and contours will be included. Survey control points will be identified with coordinates
and elevations referenced to City GPS control monuments and current datums (NAD83/NAVD88).
Compensation:
The lump sum total fee for the above scope of work will be $ 60,000. Sales tax is not collected
on topographic surveying. As the job progresses, monthly invoices for the percentage of work
completed will be invoiced to the Client.
Client Provided Services:
The Client shall provide Joe Orr the following, if necessary for completion of survey:
- A signed copy of this proposal or other contract including the agreed scope and fees.
- Any documentation available, such as existing utility plans and maps, which will aid
Joe Orr in completing the Scope of Services.
Any questions, comments or concerns shall be directed to Henry Mayo, RPLS at (979) 693-2777,
(979) 777-1426 (cell), or by email at hmayo@baselinesurveyors.net.

10. CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE; LOSS OF
USE OR OPPORTUNITY; LOSS OF GOOD WILL; COST OF SUBSTITUTE FACILITIES, GOODS, OR SERVICES; COST OF CAPITAL; OR FOR
ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES.
11. Dispute Resolution. Client shall not be entitled to assert a Claim against Consultant based on any theory of professional negl igence unless and
until Client has obtained the written opinion from a registered, independent, and reputable engineer, architect, or geologist that Consultant has violated
the standard of care applicable to Consultant’s performance of the Services. Client shall provide this opinion to Consultant and the parties shall
endeavor to resolve the dispute within 30 days, after which Client may pursue its remedies at law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
according to Kansas law.
12. Subsurface Explorations. Subsurface conditions throughout the site may vary from those depicted on logs of discrete borings, test pits, or other
exploratory services. Client understands Consultant’s layout of boring and test locations is approximate and that Consultant may deviate a reasonable
distance from those locations. Consultant will take reasonable precautions to reduce damage to the site when performing Servi ces; however, Client
accepts that invasive services such as drilling or sampling may damage or alter the site. Site restoration is not provided unless specifically included in
the Services.
13. Testing and Observations. Client understands that testing and observation are discrete sampling procedures, and that such procedures indicate
conditions only at the depths, locations, and times the procedures were performed. Consultant will provide test results and opinions based on tests and
field observations only for the work tested. Client understands that testing and observation are not continuous or exhaustive , and are conducted to
reduce - not eliminate - project risk. Client shall cause all tests and inspections of the site, materials, and Services performed by Consultant to be timely
and properly scheduled in order for the Services to be performed in accordance with the plans, specifications, contract documents, and Consultant’s
recommendations. No claims for loss or damage or injury shall be brought against Consultant by Client or any third party unless all tests and
inspections have been so performed and Consultant’s recommendations have been followed. Unless otherwise stated in the Proposal, Client assumes
sole responsibility for determining whether the quantity and the nature of Services ordered by Client is adequate and suffici ent for Client’s intended
purpose. Client is responsible (even if delegated to contractor) for requesting services, and notifying and scheduling Consultant so Consu ltant can
perform these Services. Consultant is not res ponsible for damages caused by Services not performed due to a failure to request or schedule
Consultant’s Services. Consultant shall not be responsible for the quality and completeness of Client’s contractor’s work or their adheren ce to the
project documents, and Consultant’s performance of testing and observation s ervices shall not relieve Client’s contractor in any way from its
responsibility for defects discovered in its work, or create a warranty or guarantee. Consultant will not supervise or direct the work performed by Client’s
contractor or its subcontractors and is not responsible for their means and methods. The extension of unit prices with quantities to establish a total
estimated cost does not guarantee a maximum cost to complete the Services. The quantities, when given, are estimates based on contract documents
and schedules made available at the time of the Proposal. Since schedule, performance, production, and charges are directed a nd/or controlled by
others, any quantity extensions must be considered as estimated and not a guarantee of maximum cost.
14. Sample Disposition, Affected Materials, and Indemnity. Samples are consumed in testing or disposed of upon completion of the testing
procedures (unless stated otherwise in the Services). Client shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Consultant all docum ents and information known
or available to Client that relate to the identity, location, quantity, nature, or characteristic of any hazardous waste, tox ic, radioactive, or contaminated
materials (“Affected Materials”) at or near the site, and shall immediately transmit new, updated, or revised information as it becomes available. Client
agrees that Consultant is not responsible for the disposition of Affected Materials unless specifically provided in the Services, and that Client is
responsible for directing such disposition. In no event shall Consultant be required to sign a hazardous waste manifest or take title to any Affected
Materials. Client shall have the obligation to make all spill or release notifications to appropriate governmental agencies. The Client agrees that
Consultant neither created nor contributed to the creation or existence of any Affected Materials conditions at the site and Consultant shall not be responsible
for any claims, losses, or damages allegedly arising out of Consultant’s performance of Services hereunder, or for any claims against Consultant as a
generator, disposer, or arranger of Affected Materials under federal, state, or local law or ordinance.
15. Ownership of Documents. Work product, such as reports, logs, data, notes, or calculations, prepared by Consultant shall remain Consultant’s
property. Proprietary concepts, systems, and ideas developed during performance of the Services shall remain the sole propert y of Consultant. Files
shall be maintained in general accordance with Consultant’s document retention policies and practices.
16. Utilities. Unless otherwise stated in the Proposal, Client shall provide the location and/or arrange for the marking of private utilities and subterranean
structures. Consultant shall take reasonable precautions to avoid damage or injury to subterranean structures or utilities. Consultant shall not be
responsible for damage to subterranean structures or utilities that are not called to Consultant’s attention, are not correct ly marked, including by a utility
locate service, or are incorrectly shown on the plans furnished to Consultant.
17. Site Access and Safety. Client shall secure all necessary site related approvals, permits, licenses, and consents necessary to commence and
complete the Services and will execute any necessary site access agreement. Consultant will be responsible for supervision and site safety measures
for its own employees, but shall not be responsible for the supervision or health and safety precautions for any other partie s, including Client, Client’s
contractors, subcontractors, or other parties present at the site. In addition, Consultant retains the right to stop work without penalty at any time
Consultant believes it is in the best interests of Consultant’s employees or subcontractors to do so in order to reduce the r isk of exposure to the
coronavirus. Client agrees it will respond quickly to all requests for information made by Consultant related to Consultant’s pre -task planning and risk
assessment processes. Client acknowledges its responsibility for notifying Consultant of any circumstances that present a ris k of exposure to the
coronavirus or individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 or are self-quarantining due to exhibiting symptoms associated with the coronavirus.

EXHIBIT B - SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our proposed Scope of Services consists of field exploration, laboratory testing, and
engineering/project delivery. These services are described in the following sections.
Field Exploration
The field exploration program consists of the following:
Number of Borings Planned Boring Depth (feet) 1 Planned Location
4 10 or auger refusal Along James Parkway alignment
5 10 or auger refusal Along Puryear Drive alignment
1. Below ground surface.
Boring Layout and Elevations: We will use handheld GPS equipment to locate borings with an
estimated horizontal accuracy of +/-20 feet. Field measurements from existing site features may
be utilized. If available, approximate elevations will be obtained by interpolation from a site
specific, surveyed topographic map.
Subsurface Exploration Procedures: We will advance soil borings with a truck-mounted drill rig
using continuous flight augers (solid stem and/or hollow stem, as necessary, depending on soil
conditions). Five samples will be obtained in the upper 10 feet of each boring. Soil sampling is
typically performed using thin-wall tube and/or split-barrel sampling procedures. The split-barrel
samplers are driven in accordance with the standard penetration test (SPT). The samples will be
placed in appropriate containers, taken to our soil laboratory for testing, and classified by a
Geotechnical Engineer. In addition, we will observe and record groundwater levels during drilling
and sampling.
Our exploration team will prepare field boring logs as part of standard drilling operations including
sampling depths, penetration distances, and other relevant sampling information. Field logs include
visual classifications of materials encountered during drilling, and our interpretation of subsurface
conditions between samples. Final boring logs, prepared from field logs, represent the
Geotechnical Engineer's interpretation, and include modifications based on observations and
laboratory tests.
Property Disturbance: We will backfill borings with auger cuttings upon completion. Our services
do not include repair of the site beyond backfilling our boreholes, and cold patching existing
pavements. Excess auger cuttings will be dispersed in the general vicinity of the borehole.
Because backfill material often settles below the surface after a period, we recommend boreholes
to be periodically checked and backfilled, if necessary. We can provide this service, or grout the
boreholes for additional fees, at your request.

Safety
Terracon is not aware of environmental concerns at this project site that would create health or
safety hazards associated with our exploration program; thus, our Scope considers standard
OSHA Level D Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) appropriate. Our Scope of Services does
not include environmental site assessment services, but identification of unusual or unnatural
materials encountered while drilling will be noted on our logs and discussed in our report.
Exploration efforts require borings (and possibly excavations) into the subsurface, therefore
Terracon will comply with local regulations to request a utility location service through Texas 811.
We will consult with the owner/client regarding potential utilities, or other unmarked underground
hazards. Based upon the results of this consultation, we will consider the need for alternative
subsurface exploration methods, as the safety of our field crew is a priority.
Private utilities should be marked by the owner/client prior to commencement of field exploration.
Terracon will not be responsible for damage to private utilities not disclosed to us. If the
owner/client is unable to accurately locate private utilities, Terracon can assist the owner/client
by coordinating or subcontracting with a private utility locating services. Fees associated with the
additional services are not included in our current Scope of Services and will be forwarded to our
client for approval prior to initiating. The detection of underground utilities is dependent upon the
composition and construction of the utility line; some utilities are comprised of non-electrically
conductive materials and may not be readily detected. The use of a private utility locate service
would not relieve the owner of their responsibilities in identifying private underground utilities.
Site Access and Safety: Terracon must be granted access to the site by the property owner. By
acceptance of this proposal, without information to the contrary, we consider this as authorization
to access the property for conducting field exploration in accordance with the Scope of Services.
In addition, Consultant retains the right to stop work without penalty at any time Consultant
believes it is in the best interests of Consultant’s employees or subcontractors to do so in order
to reduce the risk of exposure to the coronavirus. Client agrees it will respond quickly to all
requests for information made by Consultant related to Consultant’s pre-task planning and risk
assessment processes. Client acknowledges its responsibility for notifying Consultant of any
circumstances that present a risk of exposure to the coronavirus or individuals who have tested
positive for COVID-19 or are self-quarantining due to exhibiting symptoms associated with the
coronavirus.
Laboratory Testing
The project engineer will review field data and assign laboratory tests to understand the
engineering properties of various soil strata. Exact types and number of tests cannot be defined
until completion of field work. The anticipated laboratory testing may include the following:
■ Laboratory Determination of Water (Moisture) Content of Soil and Rock by Mass
■ Laboratory Determination of Density (Unit Weight) of Soil Specimens

■ Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index of Soils
■ Determining the Amount of Materials Finer than No. 200 Sieve in Soils by Washing
■ Particle-Size Analysis of Soils
■ Unconfined Compressive Strength of Cohesive Soil
■ Soluble sulfates
Our laboratory testing program often includes examination of soil samples by an engineer. Based
on the material’s texture and plasticity, we will describe and classify soil samples in accordance
with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).
Engineering and Project Delivery
Results of our field and laboratory programs will be evaluated by a professional engineer. The
engineer will develop a geotechnical site characterization, perform the engineering calculations
necessary to evaluate foundation alternatives, and develop appropriate geotechnical engineering
design criteria for earth-related phases of the project.
Your project will be delivered using our GeoReport® system. Upon initiation, we provide you and
your design team the necessary link and password to access the website (if not previously
registered). Each project includes a calendar to track the schedule, an interactive site map, a
listing of team members, access to the project documents as they are uploaded to the site, and a
collaboration portal. The typical delivery process includes the following:
■ Project Planning – Proposal information, schedule and anticipated exploration plan will
be posted for review and verification
■ Site Characterization – Findings of the site exploration
■ Geotechnical Engineering – Recommendations and geotechnical engineering report
When utilized, our collaboration portal documents communication, eliminating the need for long
email threads. This collaborative effort allows prompt evaluation and discussion of options related
to the design and associated benefits and risks of each option. With the ability to inform all parties
as the work progresses, decisions and consensus can be reached faster. In some cases, only
minimal uploads and collaboration will be required, because options for design and construction
are limited or unnecessary. This is typically the case for uncomplicated projects with no anomalies
found at the site.
When services are complete, we upload a printable version of our completed geotechnical
engineering report, including the professional engineer’s seal and signature, which documents
our services. Previous submittals, collaboration and the report are maintained in our system. This
allows future reference and integration into subsequent aspects of our services as the project
goes through final design and construction.
The geotechnical engineering report will provide the following:

Additional Services
In addition to the services noted above, the following are often associated with geotechnical
engineering services. Fees for services noted above do not include the following:
Review of Plans and Specifications: Our geotechnical report and associated verbal and written
communications will be used by others in the design team to develop plans and specifications for
construction. Review of project plans and specifications is a vital part of our geotechnical
engineering services. This consists of review of project plans and specifications related to site
preparation, foundation, and pavement construction. Our review will include a written statement
conveying our opinions relating to the plans and specifications’ consistency with our geotechnical
engineering recommendations.
Observation and Testing of Pertinent Construction Materials: Development of our
geotechnical engineering recommendations and report relies on an interpretation of soil
conditions. This is based on widely spaced exploration locations, and assuming construction
methods will be performed in a manner sufficient to meet our expectations, and is consistent with
recommendations made at the time the geotechnical engineering report is issued. We should be
retained to conduct construction observations, and perform/document associated materials
testing, for site preparation, foundation, and pavement construction. This allows a more
comprehensive understanding of subsurface conditions and necessary documentation of
construction, to confirm and/or modify (when necessary) the assumptions and recommendations
made by our engineers.
Perform Environmental Assessments: Our Scope for this project does not include, either
specifically or by implication, an environmental assessment of the site intended to identify or
quantify potential site contaminants. If the client/owner is concerned about the potential for such
conditions, an environmental site assessment should be conducted. We can provide a proposal
for an environmental assessment, if desired.

1. If the owner/client is unable to accurately locate private utilities, we can subcontract a private utility locating
firm and/or utilize geophysical equipment, if necessary. The detection of underground utilities is dependent
upon the composition and construction of utility lines. Some utilities are comprised of non-electrically
conductive materials and may not be readily detected. The use of a private locate service does not relieve
the owner of their responsibilities in identifying private underground utilities.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Field Services Terracon’s approach to providing materials engineering services is to assign qualified
engineering technicians, directed by Professional Engineers licensed in the state of Texas, to perform the
requested testing and observations for your project. The technicians assigned to the project will be qualified
and equipped to perform the following field services:
Earthwork Observation and Testing
a) Sample sidewalk subgrade and utility trench backfill and chemically stabilized paving subgrade
material. Prepare and test the samples for Atterberg Limits (ASTM D4318) and Percent Passing
the No. 200 Sieve for classification in accordance with USCS. Recommended one test per 500
cubic yards (or 10,000 square feet) for every one foot of fill. Prepare and test soil samples for
moisture-density relationship in accordance with ASTM D698 (or applicable procedure).
b) Sample cement-sand backfill for utility trenches, mold specimens, and perform compressive
strength tests in the laboratory.
c) Perform stabilization evaluation of subgrade soil for proposed chemically treated paving
subgrade.
d) Perform field gradation tests of chemically stabilized subgrade at a frequency of 1 test per 200
linear feet.
e) Observe proof rolling operations of the paving subgrade, and perform density tests of the
sidewalk subgrade, utility trench backfill and chemically stabilized paving subgrade using the
nuclear method (ASTM D6938) to determine the moisture content and percent compaction of
the soil materials at a frequency of 1 test per 200 linear feet.
f) Upon meeting compaction and moisture requirements, perform depth checks of chemically
stabilized subgrade at a frequency of 1 test per 200 linear feet.
g) Provide additional testing upon written request and approval by the Client.
Cast-in-Place Concrete Observations and Testing
a) Sample and test the fresh concrete for each mix. Perform tests including slump, air content, unit
weight, concrete temperature, and cast test specimens (ASTM C31, C138, C143, C172, C173,
and C1064).
b) Concrete will be sampled at a frequency of 1 set of test cylinders every 50 cubic yards for pav ing
and sidewalk concrete. Terracon requests that a copy of the approved mix design(s) be
provided to us prior to placement of the concrete.
c) Perform compressive strength tests of concrete test cylinders cast in the field (ASTM C1231,
C39). Five 4” x 8” concrete cylinders will be prepared for structural concrete having nominal
size aggregate of 1¼” or less. Four 6” x 12” concrete cylinders per set will be prepared for
concrete having a nominal size aggregate of greater than 1¼”. When 6” x 12” cylinders are
prepared, one cylinder will be tested at 7 days, two cylinders will be tested at 28 days and one
cylinder will be marked for a 56-day HOLD. When 4” x 8” cylinders are prepared, one cylinder
will be tested at 7 days, three cylinders will be tested at 28 days and one cylinder will be marked
for a 56-day HOLD.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Design Workshop will provide master planning services for the Binkley & Barfield, Inc. team and the City of College
Station for the rehabilitation of James Parkway and Puryear Drive, from Francis Drive to Kyle Street, into a concrete
curb and gutter section with storm sewer system and sidewalks and/or multi-use paths adjacent the road or within the
park.
Protection of existing trees in the area is essential. The project will include some small utility adjustments and
relocations for area infrastructure. Drainage improvements along the streets and throughout the park are critical for this
design. Phased park improvements will also be part of this design contract. These improvements include lighting,
potential parking, drinking fountains, ADA accessible paths to existing elements. Future park phasing shall include
historical markers, benches, shade structures for existing amenities, disc golf course, landscaping, etc. The public will
be engaged in community conversations to determine the programming and master plan level design of future phases.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The following narrative describes a comprehensive list of services required to prepare Master Planning, Community
Engagement and Design Concepts for the property. Efficiently organizing the work will be essential to completing the
project in a timely fashion. While the following narrative is organized in a linear manner, many of the sub-tasks may
proceed in a parallel or concurrent fashion.
The scope of work to be performed by Design Workshop (DW) in connection with this agreement is as follows:
TASK 1 – PROJECT START-UP AND CONCEPTUAL DESIGN (16 WEEKS)
The general objective for this task of the work is to develop a thorough understanding of the work that has been
completed to date, become familiar with the site, and develop a preliminary understanding of the development
program. In addition, DW will test program goals and site program against site conditions, and to explore design ideas.
Based on the current program, Design Workshop will work with the planning and design team to develop a Conceptual
Master Development Plan for the property
The specific tasks to be completed are as follows:
1. Review pertinent codes, current entitlements, and conditions of approval, which may impact the site
development concepts. 2. Meet with the client and consultant team to review/develop project goals, design criteria and site program.
3. Obtain understanding of target site improvement budget with the client.
4. Review the geotechnical report and topographic survey.
5. Visit the site to become familiar with the site conditions such as soils, slopes, views, and context surrounding
the site. Field-verify survey information, including the limits of existing improvements. This will be done on the
same day as the kickoff (if in person).
6. Prepare a detailed project schedule/work plan.
7. Attend up to two (2) meetings (in addition to kickoff) with the Client and/or other consultants. It is assumed all
meetings for the duration of the project will be virtual unless explicitly stated otherwise.
8. Establish program requirements and develop Design Principles to guide decision making.
9. Prepare a Site Analysis/Framework plan, summarizing major influences upon design.
10. Prepare a Conceptual Design Plan.
11. Prepare image character boards or bound booklets to convey the landscape design intent.
12. Based on the conceptual design plan, prepare an opinion of the range of probable costs. This range is an
opinion only and will need to be verified by a retained cost estimation specialist or by a contractor in the
bidding and negotiation process.
13. Attend up to six (6) meetings with the Client and/or other consultants to the work. Produce material for and
attend one (1) public meeting. These meetings are assumed to be virtual. If in person, additional fee will be
required to cover travel time.
a. Public Meeting 1 (“Vision and Ideas Workshop”): Present initial analysis, gain feedback on vision,
goals, analysis, programming ideas and concepts.

4. One (1) Site Analysis/Framework plan
5. Up to three (3) Conceptual Design Plans
6. Up to four (4) image character boards
7. Conceptual level opinion of probable site/landscape construction cost.
TASK 2 – FINALIZING THE MASTER PLAN (8 WEEKS)
The general objective for this task of work is to solidify public feedback on the park master plan options into a plan that
would move forward into future implementation. Design Workshop will work with the planning and design team to
formalize the concepts into a master plan, with a roadmap for implementing the plan, including timeline and costs.
The specific tasks to be completed are as follows:
1. Prepare a Master Plan, including illustrative sections and elevations.
2. Prepare image character boards or bound booklets to convey the landscape design intent.
3. Prepare up to three (3) 3D renderings showing the character of the landscape spaces.
4. Based on the master plan, prepare an opinion of the range of probable costs that will help people understand
future capital costs and phasing. This range is an opinion only and will need to be verified by a retained cost
estimation specialist or by a contractor in the bidding and negotiation process.
5. Attend up to four (4) meetings with the Client and/or other consultants to the work.
6. Produce material for, and attend one (1) public meeting in this Task:
b. Public Meeting 2 (“Implementation Workshop”): Present final master plan and gain feedback on
implementation prioritization. This meeting is assumed virtual. If in person, additional fee will be
required to cover travel time.
The following products will be prepared/delivered:
1. One (1) Master Plan.
2. Up to two (2) illustrative sections/elevations
3. Up to three (3) 3D renderings.

TASK 3 – GRANT OPPORTUNITIES ASSESSMENT (OPTIONAL)
DW will help with a high-level grant opportunity assessment to aid in finding potential avenues of funding for future park
improvements. This summary will be included as part of the final master plan document for reference in applying for
grants in the future.
The specific tasks to be completed are as follows:
1. Opportunity assessment - catalog local, regional, and national grant opportunities that may apply to this
work. (this matrix may include grant application deadlines, funding amounts and priorities, granting
organization, timeline, and level of involvement/reporting requirements)
2. Funding Resources/Recommendations - a more in-depth description of up to 3 opportunities that seem the
most viable for the project.
