SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction concerning the proposed revisions to the
Denton Development Code regarding environmentally sensitive areas (Subchapters 3, 17, and 23).
(DCA17-0011, Environmentally Sensitive Areas, Deborah Viera)
BACKGROUND
Staff proposes numerous amendments throughout Subchapter 17 that would address identified deficiencies
and conflicts with the current code. Subchapter 17 has not been revised since its adoption in 2002 in
comparison with other DDC subchapters and criteria manuals that have gone through extensive changes.
Subchapter 17 supported and complimented numerous standards contained throughout the original DDC,
many of which had been revised and no longer fit together. In numerous occasions applicants have brought
to staff's attention unclear language that has made the development review process complicated and less
certain.
The proposed amendments were vetted through numerous Committee on the Environment (COE) meetings
(Aug. 2016 - Sep. 2017), the Planning and Zoning Commission held three work sessions and two public
hearings, and public input has been received (Exhibit 2). On March 19, 2018, the COE recommended the
approval of changes (Exhibits 3 and 4) and directed staff to bring the proposed changes as a work session
item for the full City Council to review.
Staff also proposes a new appeal process for staff determinations on environmentally sensitive areas (ESA)
field assessments. Currently, there is no appeal process identified in Subchapter 3 Procedures. In keeping
with all the proposed changes, staff has identified new terms and current definitions in Subchapter 23 in
need of change.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions)
A public hearing was held before the Planning and Zoning Commission on February 21, 2018, and the
Commission recommended approval of the revisions with conditions [4-2].

Public Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and Family-Friendly Community; and
Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support multiple KFAs, this
specific City Council agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and goal:
Related Key Focus Area: Sustainable & Environmental Stewardship
Related Goal: 5.4 Manage land use and preserve open/natural spaces

35.17.5 Definitions
The following are used to define the classificafions of Envisonmentally Sensifive Areas comprising the Environmentally
Sensifive Areas Map and other related terms used tl�soughout this Subchapter:
A. Developed Floodplain
Area within the FEMA 1% Annual Chance Floodplain (a.k.a. 100-year floodplain� for which the natural stream has
been redesigned and no longer exhibits characteristics of a natzzral channel and�or its floodplain has been significanfly
modified, graded, filled, or otherwise disturbed.
B. Nuisance
Physical or environmental condifions resulfing in regular and�or confinuous problems affecfing the health, safety, and
quality of life of cifizens.
C. Riparian Buffer
Areas within 100 feet, measured from both sides of the stream centerline, with drainage areas greater than one square
mile, and 50 feet from both sides of any streams centerline that drain areas of one square mile or less. This also applies
to the outer edges of surface water bodies.
D. Stream
Linear geographic feature that conveys flowing waters. Headwater sireams are the uppermost, low-order sireams of a
watershed and comprise the majority of sireams in the United States, both in terms of number and length. Streams can
be perennial, intermittent or ephemeral.
E. Surface Water Body
Term to include streams, ponds, lakes, and freshwater weflands.
F. Undeveloped Floodplain
Areas within the FEMA 1% Annual Chance Floodplain (a.k.a. 100-year floodplain�, that are undeveloped and in theis
natural state.
G. Upland Habitat
Contiguous areas ten acres or larger of Cross Timbers habitat.
H. Valley Storage
Water storage capacity of a stream and is a volume that is measured below the base flood elevafion.
I. Water Related Habitat
Areas designated as weflands, and trees and understory vegetafion containing 50 percent or more of predominately
nafive bottomland hardwood. Bottomland hardwoods occur on the fisst terrace of floodplains and flats along channels.
Periodic inundafion prevents establishment of upland species and maintains the fiznctioning of this type of vegetation.
J. Wetland
Area that is inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and durafion sufficient to support, and that
under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetafion typically adapted for life in saturated soil condifions.
Weilands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas. Includes adjacent and isolated weilands.

DATE: April 3, 2018
SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide direction regarding current City of Denton facilities and
how to proceed with planning for future needs.
�A.CI��12C�iJNI�
The current City Hall was originally constructed in 1967. In the mid 1980's an approximate 5,000 square
foot expansion was completed providing the current total of area 35,062 square feet. Several renovations
of individual areas and systems have been completed over the years, however the last major renovation was
completed in 1997. When constructed over 50 years ago, the population of Denton was 39,874 and the total
service area was less than 30 square miles. During the past 50 years, the population of Denton has more
than tripled to a 2016 estimate of 133,808 and the service area has increased to nearly 100 square miles.
When City Hall first opened, this facility supported key administrative activities and business functions for
the City while field service crews and utility services staff were located at the City "Warehouse" or Service
Center located at the southeast corner of Bell and Hickory. By the late 1990's, City administrative staff
were located in four separate facilities; City Hall, City Hall East, City Hall West and the Service Center.
The decentralization of key administrative services was necessary to accommodate space needs for new
staffing levels to support municipal services of the growing community and was achieved by repurposing
and utilizing available municipal facilities. Over the years, this decentralization of the key administrative
and business functions has negatively impacted customer service. Residents, visitors, vendors and
developers are confused when attempting to obtain services and frequently find themselves visiting multiple
facilities to conduct business with the City rather than having the ability of conducting transactions at a
single location or a"one stop shop." Additionally, time and distances issues between the various facilities
creates pressure on efficiency, production and customer service as well as reduces the spirit of cooperation
and collaboration between departments.
The City of Denton commissioned a 2003 Master Plan developed by HOK. This was a comprehensive plan
that addressed most of the City's facility needs and recommended the centralization of business functions
to a single location by transitioning City Hall East into a one stop shop. Several of the goals and objectives
of the 2003 plan were accomplished, but due to staff reductions in 2004 and 2005 and the economic
downturn in 2008, a key goal of creating a one stop shop was not realized.
At City Council's direction, Nelson + Morgan Architects were commissioned in Apri12016 to assist staff
in the review of the 2003 Master Plan to address core administration facilities, review staffing needs and
provide recommendations for anticipated growth. In November 2016, Nelson + Morgan and City staff
presented aproposal that included a standalone expansion at City Hall of 118,333 square feet and renovation
of approximately 13,553 square feet of the existing City Hall for an estimated cost of $60,000,000 for a
total area of 131,886 square feet. This estimate included design costs, furniture, fixtures and equipment.
The November 2016 proposal also included a recommendation to construct a five level, 600 space parking
garage at the corner of McKinney Street and Oakland Street to meet the parking demands of the facility and
downtown. The opinion of probable cost for the parking structure was $14,000,000.
In August of 2017, at the direction of new city administration, City staff and Nelson + Morgan were charged
with updating staffing and spatial needs projection data developed as part of the November 2016 proposal.
The consultants met with departmental representatives and readjusted staff growth projections, revised
space allocation projections to correlate with new administrative directives to reduce FTE counts, enhance
work space efficiencies and embrace the following key goals:
• Create a"One Stop Shop" to enhance customer service
• Provide additional community meeting and gathering space
• Improve work space efficiencies for interdepartmental collaboration
• Preserve the historical integrity and architectural legacy of City Hall
• Provide a new "front entryway" to City Hall
• Scalable design concept for future growth
• Enhance the campus concept connecting City of Denton facilities to downtown, and improve
entryway to Quakertown Park
• Serve as a catalyst for additional pedestrian oriented, high quality, and professional employment
focused development in the downtown area
• Promote positive image of the community
• Transition CHE into a Justice Center
• Eliminate lease property occupied by Development Services
Based on this reevaluation, two options have been developed for Council consideration. Both options create
a one stop shop by transferring essential administrative functions to a new municipal complex, relocation
of Development Services from leased space to a permanent location and recommend converting the existing
City Hall East into a Justice Center.
O�tion l:
The existing City Hall has approximately 35,062 total square feet with approximately 24,094 square feet
that can be used in the reassignment and space calculations for the 2026 planning horizon. Modest efforts
would be necessary to reassign and renovate the approximate 24,094 square feet to meet spatial guidelines
and work place efficiencies. Operations identified to remain in the existing City Hall as part of Option 1
include:
Cit Mana er's Suite Cit Attorne 's Suite
Finance and Accounting Utility Administration
Trans ortation Council Work Session Room
Public Communications/DTV Reprographics
74,643 square feet of additional space is projected for operations that will not be located in the existing City
Hall. Nelson + Morgan proposes the construction of an annex to City Hall southeast of the current Council
Chamber, and connected by a corridor along the east side of the existing courtyard. It is contemplated the
plans for the annex will be designed in such a way to provide flexibility for expansion in the future. In
addition to creating a new front entry and formal entrance plaza for City Hall, the annex would allow the
existing City Hall to maintain its status as the administrative center for the City and preserve the
architectural integrity of the O'Neil Ford design. The annex would provide space for the following
municipal services:
New Council Chamber Ma or and Council Office Suite
Customer Service Development Services
Ca ital Pro' ects/En ineerin Buildin Ins ections
Human Resources Risk Management
Economic Develo ment Parks and Recreation Administration
Gas Well Ins ections Fire Prevention
Public Communications/DTV Community Development
Option 1 also proposes the relocation of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to a basement level in
the annex. This provides a safer, more centrally located, hardened facility to better respond to the needs of
the community when the need arises. The current EOC is located at Central Fire, is not hardened and has
space constraints. Design of this space is intended to provide flex space as a multi-purpose conference
room and additional community meeting space when the facility is not activated in an official capacity.
Total space of Option 1 is estimated at 109,705 square feet.
O�tion 2:
This option proposes a similar renovation and reuse of the existing City Hall, construction of a two level
annex and facilitate all of the functions included in Option l. Option 2 would not include the basement
level supporting a new EOC and multi-purpose spaces. Total space of Option 2 is estimated at 103,348
square feet.
Parkin�:
Existing surface parking associated with the municipal complex (City Hall, Civic Center) and the temporary
parking on the south side of McKinney Street provide a total of 439 spaces (264 for City Hall and 175 for
Civic Center). Projected needs indicate a City Hall requirement of 307 minimum spaces. Proposed new
surface parking and existing modifications will provide a total of 551 spaces. The increased parking
capacity will also support events at Quakertown Park and the Civic Center, and will also support retail and
entertainment venues in downtown. Parking capacity is not adjusted between the two options due to design
and mobilization efficiencies. Total projected cost for these parking modifications is estimated at
$1,048,168.
Kelly Morgan, Nelson + Morgan, Architects will facilitate the discussion with Council using the attached
PowerPoint presentation (Exhibit 2). Staff is seeking direction from Council on the recommendation to
initiate planning and design initiatives to address space constraints at City Hall and City Hall East as well
as improve level of customer service provided to citizens and those who conduct business with the City of
Denton.
OPTIONS
1. Give staff direction to issue a request for qualifications (RFQ) to initiate design efforts on a proposed
City Hall Annex and repurpose of the existing City Hall intended to improve customer service and
enhance work place efficiencies as outlined in Option 1. 109,705 gross square feet.
2. Give staff direction to issue an RFQ to initiate design efforts on a proposed City Hall Annex and
repurpose of the existing City Hall intended to improve customer service and enhance work place
efficiencies as outlined in Option 2. 103,438 gross square feet.
3. Provide staff with additional direction.
4. Take no action at this time.
RECOMMENDATION
Option l: Initiate an RFQ for professional services through Construction Documents Phase to obtain
accurate construction costs for design Option l. The approximate cost for Architectural Professional
Services through construction documents stage is estimated at $1,500,000.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions)
November 7, 2016 — City Council Work Session - Nelson + Morgan Update to the 2003 Facilities Master
Plan Study.
FISCAL INFORMATION
The approximate cost for Architectural Professional Services through construction documents stage is
estimated at $1,500,000. The current construction estimate for renovation costs to the existing City Hall
range from $88 to $113 per square foot. Current construction cost estimates for new construction range
from $285 to $325 per square foot. The combined average, renovation costs and new construction cost are
estimated to be $277 per square foot. Additional costs for design and furniture, fixtures and equipment is
expected to cost approximately $82 per square foot.
As part of the presentation to Council, staff will provide a financial proforma on funding the proposed
design and construction of the facilities. This plan will include the reallocation of annual lease and
operational costs for the Development Services facility.

Aaron Leal, City Attorney
April 3, 2018
Receive a report, hold a discussion and give staff direction regarding a Citizen Comment Pilot Program for
Section 3.B. items ("Receive Scheduled Citizen Reports from Members of the Public") of the City Council's
Regular Meeting Agenda, which pilot program was enacted by Ordinance No. 2017-402.
BACKGROUND
On December 12, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2017-402 (Attached as Exhibit 1), which
ordinance enacted a City Comment Pilot Program for Section 3.B. Items of the City Council Regular
Meeting Agenda. This pilot program was created so as to allow the City Council to ask questions of the
speaker and to engage in Council discussion. Specifically, the temporary trial ordinance provided the
following:
l. Allow the City Council to discuss Section 3.B. items;
2. Allow the City Council to ask questions of each citizen speaker:
3. Allow the City Council to request that a Section 3.B. item be further researched and
presented by City Staff at a later City Council meeting; and
4. Modify the total time allotted for a Section 3.B. item to five (5) minutes, with three (3) of
those minutes allotted to the citizen speaker's presentation and two (2) minutes allotted to
City Council questions and discussion.
In addition, in order to comply with the Texas Open Meetings Act, temporary changes were made to the
Council's Regular Meeting Agenda to include the above four items so as to provide the public with advance
notice that questions and/or discussion may be had. Finally, temporary changes were also made to Section
2-29(f)(4)a.l to reflect the above four items.
The pilot program's trial period started January l, 2018 and expired March 30, 2018. The pilot program
seems to have worked well for City Council and the general public. There have not been any issues
encountered with the process. Since the pilot program has expired, a work session has been scheduled to
determine whether Council desires:
1. To make the temporary changes made by Ordinance No. 2017-402 permanent;
2. To extend the pilot program for another ninety-day period; or
3. To discontinue the pilot program.
Draft ordinances for options 1 and 2 have been included as Exhibits 2 and 3. Since options 1 and 2 amend
Section 2-29 of the City Code ("Council Rules of Procedure"), Section 2-29(b)(14) requires that any
AIS O4032018
Page 2
proposed amendments or new rules shall first be introduced at a City Council meeting and then adopted at
a subsequent City Council meeting. This is why there is not an action item on the Council's Regular
Meeting agenda connected to this Work Session item. This allows Council to make any revisions to either
draft ordinance before adopting it at its April 17, 2018 Regular Meeting.
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The City of Denton's Strategic Plan is an action-oriented road map that will help the City achieve its vision.
The foundation for the plan is the five long-term Key Focus Areas (KFA): Organizational Excellence;
Public Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and Family-Friendly Community; and
Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support multiple KFAs, this
specific City Council agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and goal:
Related Key Focus Area: Organizational Excellence
Related Goal: 1.3 Promote effective internal and external communication

SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion and give staff direction regarding the G. Roland Vela Athletic Complex
capital proj ect.
BACKGROUND
The Vela Athletic Complex originated in the 2005 Capital Improvement Program (CIl'). The original
concept called for purchasing 16 acres from the Denton Independent School District at the C.H. Collins
Complex and constructing three lighted soccer fields and a restroom / concession building at a cost of
$1,600,000. Pursuit of the site was suspended when it was determined the proposed area was part of the
storm water detention for the complex and the amenities could not be built on that site.
In 2008, the Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) combined funds with the Police Department to
purchase the 20 acre site located on Hwy 77. The acquisition amount was $1,345,761 with $961,734
funded through Certificates of Obligation (CO's) and $384,027 from the 2005 CIl' soccer project. The
intent of the purchase was to acquire land for the proposed Animal Care and Adoption Center. The tract
met the desired criteria of accessibility and visibility, reasonable proximity to other public facilities or
park like amenities, accessible infrastructure, and conducive site topography for the animal care facility.
It was also ideally situated to allow for the expansion of the northeastern limits of North Lakes Park.
Jacobs Engineering was hired to design the athletic complex using part of the 20 acres and the area north
of the Windsor pond in North Lakes Park Concept designs were prepared and presented to the
community. Feedback indicated strong opposition to the plan due to the encroachment on natural preserve
area.
Staff identified property adjacent to North Lakes Park as a site for the complex. City Council approved
the purchase of a 26-acre tract between Riney Road and the natural area in North Lakes Park in October
2012, at a cost of $1,000,000. Funding included $500,000 from the 2005 CIP soccer project, $250,000
from Park Gas Well revenue, and $250,000 from an Open Space CIl'. In July of 2013, a contract was
signed with Dunaway & Associates for the design on the new property.
In the fall of 2014, voters approved an additional $1,333,000 in the CIl' for the project to retain the
restroom / concession building elements of the original concept, a large pavilion, and a playground. The
final design of the complex included four lighted adult multi-use fields, a restroom facility, concession
stand, a playground, and several pavilion areas, and a parking lot with an opinion of probable construction
cost of $5,500,000.
The bid documents for the project were designed to maximized construction and funding options by
outlining a base bid for two fields, the restroom / concession structure, a pavilion and a section of parking,
Alternative bid options captured the full scope of the design by including the third and fourth fields,
additional pavilions, a full parking layout, and site amenities. RFP 6671 was sent to 600 potential
contractors. Seven respondents submitted bids.
The current revised cost for this project is $6,000,000, including outsourced project management. In
addition to a balance of original funding, the project has $1,386,669 of previously allocated funds from
various sources. An additional $575,000 was allocated from General Fund balance as approved by
Council on December 12�h, 2017. A budget amendment of $1,570,491 reallocating funds related to Bonnie
Brae Phase 3 freeing General Fund resources along with a budget amendment of $1,134,640 utilizing
additional General Fund resources and unallocated savings from other capital projects was proposed to
Council on March 27, 2018, to be transferred to this project. This reallocation of resources fully funds the
proj ect.
A companion contract for professional services in the amount of $190,000 related to project management
for the construction of the complex is also included in the project cost. Project management by a firm will
assist the City in ensuring construction of the proj ect is performed as contracted, provide an additional
evaluation of costs and potential changes, and keep the project on the stated timeline.
The scope of services includes:
• Regular meetings with City representatives to review and provide updates on the project status
• Site visits to observe progress and quality of work is in accordance with the construction contract
documentation
• Review of material certified test reports
• Establish procedures for administering constructive changes / prepare documentation for contract
modifications
• Maintain project documentation
• Review payment requests
• Conduct final review of the project for conformance of compliance
Three design options were developed, complementing the bid structure. Full design at $6M includes all
base bid items and all alternate bid options. A$S.SM project option allows for the construction of four
lighted fields, a restroom / concession stand structure, a playground, and the full parking lot. Pavilions
and fencing are not included. The last option includes two lighted fields, the restroom / concession
structure, a playground, all pavilions, and part of the parking lot at a cost of $4.6M. Under the $S.SM and
$4.6M options, PARD would be responsible for hydromulching, the procurement and installation of site
amenities, and planting of trees. The current bid proposal and pricing under this funding assumption
expires on May 18, 2018.
OPTIONS
Three funding options for consideration are:
• Proceed as proposed on March 27th using a reallocation of RTF funding and unallocated CIP
funding for the full cost of the project.
• Identify and utilize a combination of Certificates of Obligation (CO's) and other available sources
of funding for the full cost of the project.
• Select one of the two lower cost designs and fund utilizing identified available funding.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends funding the project using the strategy outlined on March 27, 2018 for the full design
and cost of the proj ect.
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
By proposed contract, total calendar days to completion is 292. Work will begin with 15 days of notice to
proceed by the City.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions)
Council received presentations on the Vela Athletic Complex and funding on September 12, 2017,
December 12, 2017, and March 27, 2018.
BID INFORMATION
RFP 6671 was released on December 19, 2017 and closed January 18, 2018. The RFP was sent to 600
potential contractors with seven responses. The current bid proposal expires on May 18, 2018.

stewards of the public trust. City Officials have a responsibility to the citizens to administer and
enforce the City Charter and City Ordinances in an ethical manner. To ensure and enhance public
confidence in our municipal government, each City Official must strive not only to maintain
technical compliance with the principles of conduct set forth in this Article, but to aspire daily to
carry out their duties objectively, fairly, and lawfully. Furthermore, this Article was enacted to
ensure that decision makers provide responsible stewardship of City resources and assets.
It is not the purpose of this Article to provide a mechanism to defame, harass or abuse their
political opponents, or publicize personal grudges. Rather, this Article is intended to provide a
framework within which to encourage ethical behavior, and enforce basic standards of conduct
while providing due process that protects the rights of the Complainant and the Accused.

This Article is enacted pursuant to the authority granted to the City under Section _ of the
Charter.
5��� 3-1Q6m Purp�s�
The purpose of this Article is to foster an environment of integrity for those that serve the City of
Denton and our citizenry. The City Council enacted this Article in order to increase public
confidence in our municipal government. It is the policy of the City that all City Officials and
employees shall conduct themselves in a manner that assures the public that we are faithful
stewards of the public trust. City Officials have a responsibility to the citizens to administer and
enforce the City Charter and City Ordinances in an ethical manner. To ensure and enhance public
confidence in our municipal government, each City Official must strive not only to maintain
technical compliance with the principles of conduct set forth in this Article, but to aspire daily to
carry out their duties objectively, fairly, and lawfully. Furthermore, this Article was enacted to
ensure that decision makers provide responsible stewardship of City resources and assets.
It is not the purpose of this Article to provide a mechanism to defame, harass or abuse their
political opponents, or publicize personal grudges. Rather, this Article is intended to provide a
framework within which to encourage ethical behavior, and enforce basic standards of conduct
while providing due process that protects the rights of the Complainant and the Accused.
This Article shall apply prospectively, and shall not sustain any Complaints based on acts or
omissions alleged to have taken place prior to adoption of this Article.

select a Presiding Officer to conduct Panel deliberations.
(c) Panel Determination. Within ten (10) business days of being assigned an Accepted
Complaint, the Panel shall review the Complaint on its face and determine whether the
Complaint is:
(1) Actionable: the allegations and evidence contained in the Complaint, if true,
would constitute a violation of this Article.

and/ or
(C) an Accepted Complaint is Frivolous.
(3) Sworn Testimony: All witness testimony provided to the Board of Ethics shall
be under oath.
(4) Burden of Proof Because the burden of showing that a violation of this Article
occurred is placed on the Complainant, it is the Complainant that has the
obligation to put forth evidence, including testimony, supporting the Complaint.
The Complainant is required to testify at the hearing. A Complainant's failure to
testify at a hearing shall be grounds for dismissal of a Complaint.
(5) Representation: The Accused shall have a right to present a defense. Both the

for the City of Denton, Texas Draft "C' of the Code of Ethics page 19
appeal concerning the Complaint until after the criminal investigation or criminal
proceedings are terminated.
5��� 3-122m I)i�p��iti�n
(a) DismissaL If the Board of Ethics determines at the conclusion of a hearing by simple
majority vote of its members that a Complaint should be dismissed, it may do so upon
finding:
(1) the Complaint is Baseless;
(2) the alleged violation did not occur;
(3) the Accused reasonably relied in good faith upon an Advisory Opinion, as
provided in this Article; or
(4) the Complainant failed to testify at the hearing.
(b) Sanctions. If the Board of Ethics determines at the conclusion of a hearing that a
violation has occurred, it may within ten (10) business days impose or recommend any
of the following sanctions:
(1) Letter of Notification. If the violation is clearly unintentional, or when the
Accuser's action was made in reliance on a written opinion of the City Attorney.
A letter of notification shall advise the Accused of any steps to be taken to avoid
future violations.
(2) Letter of Admonition. If the Board of Ethics finds that the violation is minor
and may have been unintentional, but calls for a more substantial response than
a letter of notification.
(3) Letter of Reprimand. If the Board of Ethics finds that the violation:
(A) was minor and was committed knowingly, intentionally or in disregard
of this Article; or
(B) was serious and may have been unintentional.

was committed by a Member of the Planning & Zoning, or Zoning Board of
Adjustment, or a Department Head, and it:
(A) was serious and was committed knowingly, intentionally or in disregard of
this Article or a state conflict of interest law; or
(B) was minor but similar to a previous violation by the Person, and was
committed knowingly, intentionally or in disregard of this Article.
The final authority to impose a suspension rests with the City Council.

for the City of Denton, Texas Draft "C' of the Code of Ethics page 20
(5) Ineligibility. If the Board of Ethics finds that a Vendor has violated this Article,
the Board may recommend to the City Manager that the Vendor be deemed
ineligible to enter into a City contract or other arrangement for goods, services,
or real property, for a period of one (1) year.
Notice of all sanctions imposed by the Board of Ethics shall be transmitted to
the Accused, Complainant, City Auditor, City Attorney, and City Council.
(c) Frivolous.
(1) Prohibition. It is a violation of this Article for a Person to submit a Frivolous
Complaint.
(2) Super-Majority Vote. If the Board of Ethics determines at the conclusion of a
hearing by a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of its Members that a Complaint was
Frivolous, the Board may impose a sanction as provided by Section 3-122(b).
(3) Factors. In making a determination on frivolity, the Board of Ethics shall
consider the following factors:
(A) the timing of the sworn Complaint with respect to when the facts
supporting the alleged violation became known or should have become
known to the Complainant, and with respect to the date of any pending
election in which the Accused is a Candidate or is involved with a
candidacy, if any;
(B) the nature and type of any publicity surrounding the filing of the
sworn Complaint, and the degree of participation by the Complainant in
publicizing the fact that a Complaint was filed;
(C) the existence and nature of any relationship between the Accused and the
Complainant before the Complaint was filed;
(D) if the Accused is a Candidate for Election to Office, the existence
and nature of any relationship between the Complainant and any
Candidate or group opposing the Accused;
(E) any evidence that the Complainant knew or reasonably should have
known that the allegations in the Complaint were groundless; and
(F) any evidence of the Complainant's motives in filing the Complaint.
(4) External Remedies. Complainants who submit Frivolous Complaints are hereby
notified that their actions may subject them to criminal prosecution for perjury
(criminal prosecution), or civil liability for the torts of defamation or abuse of
process.
The Complainant or Accused may request the Board of Ethics to reconsider its decision. The
request must be filed with the City Auditor within five (5) business days of receiving the final
Bojorquez Law Firm, PC Worksheet: Module #7 Apri13, 2018
for the City of Denton, Texas Draft "C' of the Code of Ethics page 21
opinion of the Board of Ethics. The request for reconsideration shall be sent to the Chairperson of
the Board of Ethics and the non-filing party (Complainant or Accused). If the Chairperson finds,
in the Chairperson's sole discretion, that the request includes new evidence that was not submitted
at a prior hearing, and that the new evidence bears directly on the Board of Ethic's previous
determination, the Chairperson shall schedule a hearing on the request for reconsideration to occur
within thirty (30) business days after filing with the City Auditor. Absent new evidence, the
Chairperson shall unilaterally dismiss the request for reconsideration and provide to the Parties.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Chris Watts & Members of the City Council, City of Denton
FROM: Alan Bojorquez, Special Counsel & Ethics Advisor
DATE: Apri12, 2018
RE: Questions on Draft Code of Ethics
Please accept this memo as my summary of the answers I have given to questions that have been
generated by certain members of the City Council and the public since the public hearing.
L Is the Conflict of Interest for service to nonprofits limited to service on the governing
body?
Yes, §3-113(a)(3)(F) applies to `Board of Directors or as an Officer", but to clarify we can
add "(i.e., Governing Body)".
2. Is there a"look-back period" for board service?
No. Section 3-107 states that the Code of Ethics cannot be used as a basis for a Complaint
for anything alleged violation that occurred prior to adoption of the Code of Ethics. The law
and public policy tend to frown on ex post facto laws.
3. Does the $600 gross annual income threshold for Conflicting Interest apply to income
from an employing Business Entity, or also from the individual clients of that Business
Entity?
§3-113(a) applies to the employing Business Entity, not clients. For example, if a City
Official is employed by a hotel, the City Official would likely have a Conflicting Interest in
that hotel's matters pending before the City, but would not necessarily have a Conflicting
Interest if one of the hotel's guests had matters pending before the City. We could add that
the income is as reported on a W-2 or 1099.
4. Do the restrictions on the Representation of Others (§3-113(d)) or Subsequent Work on
Prior Projects (§3-113(i)) prevent a Former City Official from accepting business from
a new client simply because when they had been on the City Council they had voted on
a matter regarding that new client?
No. The prohibition on the Representation of Others is just for 2 years, and only limits a
Former City Official's ability to come to City Hall to advocate one someone's behalf for
compensation. The prohibition on Subsequent Work on Prior Projects is meant to prevent
city officials from leaving city hall to then immediately work for contractors if while at city
hall they had "personally and substantially participated in the negotiation, award or
administration of the contract..." Merely voting on an agenda item wouldn't trigger either
provision. Also, in Draft "C" I have shortened the ban to just 1 year based on feedback from
the public hearing.
5. Will the City Attorney vet Complaints before being referred to the Board of Ethics?
No. The Office of the City Auditor will review Complaints for Administrative
Completeness. A Panel of the Board of Ethics will provide a Preliminary Assessment of
Complaints to ensure they are not Baseless. The Office of the City Attorney does not have a
direct role in either function, but can provide legal guidance as necessary.
6. Can the Board of Ethics review Complaints anonymously to avoid frivolous Complaints
that may damage a person's character?
This Code of Ethics tries to balance: (a) The objective of fostering more integrity at city hall,
with (b) the need to provide due process, and (c) the desire to avoid unduly harming people's
reputations. Equilibrium is not easy to achieve. From the outset the City Council expressed
a desire to be as transparent as possible in light of these sometimes conflicting aims. At no
point did the City Council express a preference for involving the City Attorney's Office in
the pre-filtering process.
7. What is the actual punishment for an ethics violation?
For City Officials and Former City Officials, a letter of Notification, Admonition, or.
Reprimand. Department Heads and members of the P&Z, ZBA, and PUB may also receive
a Letter of Suspension. Vendors who violate the Code may be deemed ineligible to contract
with the City for one year.
The Code of Ethics strives to provide some form of punishment while honoring the
limitations imposed by the Charter. At no point has the City Council stated support for
sanctions involving criminal or civil fees, or prosecution, or other remedies that may be
available through the judicial system.
8. How does the deiinition of a"Vendor" in the Code of Ethics relate to the definition in
the City's vendor manual?
Vendor is defined in the Ethics Ordinance as: "a person who provides or seeks to provide
goods, services, real property to the City in exchange for compensation". Our City
Purchasing Manual defines vendor as: "A seller of commodities and/or services". Chapter
176 of the Texas Local Government Code defines a vendor as: "a person who enters or seeks
to enter into a contract with a local governmental entity. The term includes an agent of a
vendor. The term includes an officer or employee of a state agency when that individual is
acting in a private capacity to enter into a contract. The term does not include a state agency
except for Texas Correctional Industries". The draft Code of Ethics and state law both define
it more broadly that the City's purchasing manuaL We can attempt to conform or otherwise
reconcile definitions if requested.
9. Regarding eligibility for Board of Ethics, should the City require a background check
versus language professional license preferences?
I have no reason to object to adding that requirement, but don't see it as replacing the current
language.

Code of Ethics- Q&A Page 2 of 4
10. If Board of Ethics and Panel meetings can be closed, should they be recorded or should
a legal liaison be assigned to make sure no conversations go of topic or into prohibited
areas?
I have never advised making recordings of Executive Sessions. Compliance with the Texas
Open Meetings Act should prove sufficient. The Board of Ethics and Panels will have the
same ability and restrictions regarding Executive Sessions as any other governing body. A
legal liaison is an option, but not a requirement. I would leave that up to the Board of Ethics,
the City Attorney (and if applicable the Special Counsel appointed to assist).
11. Should the Code include language on behavioral ethics, such as how one should conduct
themselves during others elections?
We can add language about how people are to behave themselves. Thus far, there has not
been interested expressed on that subject by the City Council.
12. Regarding Gifts, might the "any gift that might reasonably tend to influence such
Officer" be too general and vague?
It is broad, but it is also very common. It's hard to measure, but sends a message to City
Officials that they should strive to avoid such gifts regardless of the dollar value.
13. Why did we reduce the list of employees to whom the limitations on Outside
Employment apply?
That section only applies to "Department Heads," which is defined earlier in the ordinance as
employees appointed by the City Council, those being the City Manager, City Auditor, City
Attorney, and Municipal Court Judge. All others employees are covered by the personnel
policy, which is separate. The list of other senior employees was deleted because it conflicts
with the Charter, which extends sole supervisory authority over those positions to the City
Manager.
14. Should we create an exception to the Representation of Others restriction for Former
City Ofiicials who possess unique talents that cannot be conveyed to a coworker?
To create such a broad exception would weaken this prohibition. If the City Council wants
such an exception, I can add it.
15. In regards to the prohibition on the Representation of Others restriction for Former
City Ofiicials, should we allow Former City Officials to seek Advisory Opinions?
If the City Council wants to allow Former City Officials to seek Advisory Opinions, I can
add that language.
16. Would a Denton City Council Member be allowed under the Code of Ethics to attend
the Alliance Air Show and go to a skybox?
Yes, attendance at the Air Show would be allowed if the event is a charity or community
happening, and the host is present (i.e., the person picking up the tab is there with you). A
quick glance at the website shows me it is a fundraiser for
nonprofits. http://www.allianceairshow.com/Fun/fastfacts.aspx See the exception provided
in the draft at 3-113(b)(5)(C):
City of Denton Apri12, 2018
Code of Ethics- Q&A Page 3 of 4
... meals, lodging, transportation, or entertainment furnished in connection with
public events, appearances or ceremonies related to official City business, or
charity functions, or community events, if furnished by the sponsor of such events
(who is in attendance);
17. Why can't the Code of Ethics do away with Panels and have all Complaints go directly
to the Board of Ethics?
The draft Code of Ethics tries to balance: (a) The objective of fostering more integrity at city
hall, with (b) the need to provide due process, and (c) the desire to avoid having the City of
Denton play a part in unduly harming people's reputations. The City is also striving to be
transparent. Equilibrium is not easy to find, and thus far we are striving to achieve that
balance utilizing panels.
From a practical standpoint, panels also offer the ability to convene sooner than the full
Board of Ethics. The City Council has expressed a preference for ethical matters to be
addressed in a timely manner. Large boards tend to take a while to gather.
While I understand that you oppose the pre-screening function provided for in the draft Code
of Ethics, there are others in your community who favor such procedures in hopes of
avoiding instances of defamation.
Also, an Accused might reasonably hire a private lawyer to represent them before Board of
Ethics hearing, only to have the Complaint dismissed as Baseless. That expense could be
significant, yet ultimately unwarranted.
Finally, being publically accused of ethical infractions is no small matter. The City Council
has sought to encourage ethical behavior, discourage unethical conduct, and deter frivolous
complaints. The City Council has attempted to promote a culture of integrity, while striving
to prevent use of the Code of Ethics as a political weapon or tool for pursuing personal
vendettas.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
Procurement/Compliance
CM/ DCM/ ACM: Todd Hileman
DATE: April 3, 2018
SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding the development of an ethics policy
for all City of Denton employees.
BACKGROUND
A Charter Election was held on November 7, 2017 for the purpose of submitting to voters five propositions
for amendments to the Denton City Charter. Proposition D approved the adoption of an ethics ordinance by
the City Council. The City Council hired outside attorney Alan Bojorquez on November 14, 2017 to
facilitate the development of the ethics ordinance. Council has worked through five sessions with Mr.
Bojorquez to draft the ordinance that, when adopted, will apply to City Officials, department heads
appointed by Council, and vendors.
In an effort to hold all City employees to the same ethical standards as City Officials, staff has drafted a
separate ethics policy to reinforce our commitment to ethical behavior. The City's existing personnel
policies and procurement manual have collectively served as a code of conduct for all City employees.
While these policies address many issues related to ethical behavior, they have gaps which the drafted ethics
policy aims to fill. The ethics policy also serves as a resource for employees, setting expectations and
helping to ensure employees are performing their duties in a manner that will protect them as well as
enhance the credibility of the organization.
The ethics policy will cover the following:
• Conflicts of interest, including disclosure and recusal
o A conflict of interest is a situation in which personal and/or financial considerations ha�e
the potential to influence or compromise professional judgment or actions. In order to
manage the associated risks, real or perceived, it is the City's policy to address conflicts of
interest through disclosure and recusal.
o To ensure the procurement process operates in a fair and equitable manner, employees
involved in a formal solicitation must submit a disclosure form before any solicitation
material will be shared with them. If a conflict of interest is identified, the employee will be
recused from any decision-making, influence, or solicitations that involve the vendor or
individual(s) identified in the conflict.
• Nepotism
o In a department comprised of more than one operational division, an applicant related within
the second degree of affinity or within the third degree of consanguinity to a City employee
employed in that operational division will not be eligible for employment within the same
division.
• Gifts, meals, and events
o Employees shall neither solicit nor accept gifts, meals, or entertainment offered from an
individual, business, or organization due to their position with the City.
o Examples of prohibited gifts, meals, and events include:
■ Meals provided by vendors;
■ Attending hospitality events sponsored by vendors in connection with a conference;
■ Cash and gift cards;
■ Tickets for entertainment; and
■ Raffle items at conferences.
o Exceptions include:
■ Meals included as part of a community event where attendance by the employee is
required as part of their essential duties (e.g., National Night Out);
■ Transportation, registration, meals, or lodging provided due to a speech or service
the employee rendered at the event;
■ Items included in event registration and available to all attendees (e.g., conference
"swag bags").
• Serving on boards and commissions
o Employees serving as members of boards, commissions, or associations that have business with
the City through contract or financial support will require disclosure and approval to a�oid
appearance of fa�oritism, impropriety, and/or conflicts of interest.
• Confidential information
o An employee shall not intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly disclose any confidential
information gained by their position concerning the property, operations, policies or affairs
of the City.
• Secondary employment
o It is the intention of the policy to protect the employee and the City from unintended
consequences, including conflicts of interest, from secondary employment. Prior to engaging
in secondary employment, whether as an employee at another organization, independent
contractor, or self-employed, an employee must request prior approval through their immediate
supervisor and department head.
• Use of City resources
o An employee shall not use, request, or permit the use of City facilities, personnel, equipment,
supplies, or time for private purposes while on City duty.
• Use of social media
o Employees should be mindful that social media and internet postings, even when done off
duty, may cause unintended reactions from the public or consequences to the City and its
officials and employees. Employees must take great care to make it clear that their personal
opinions are their own and do not represent the official position of the City.
• Political activity
o Employees may not engage in political activity while on duty. Employees shall not engage
in any conduct in relation to a political campaign which would have the effect of limiting
the efficiency of City employees, interfering with or disrupting City operations or functions,
impairing harmony, or which prevents successful service with employees' superiors.
• Actions of others
o An employee shall not intentionally or knowingly assist or induce, or attempt to assist or
induce, any person to violate any provision in this Ethics policy. An employee shall not
violate the provisions of the policy through the acts of another.
• Reporting unethical conduct
o If an employee witnesses or has knowledge that inappropriate, unlawful, or unethical
conduct has occurred, they have a duty to report the actions or behavior through the
appropriate channels.
Every effort has been made to mirror Council's ethics ordinance, where applicable. Other methods used to
draft the employee ethics policy were government best practices and a sampling of other municipal ethics
policies. As staff continues to refine and implement the ethics policy, modifications may be brought back
to Council for consideration at a future date. Staff is conducting a comprehensive review of all personnel
policies and the procurement manual. These will be brought back to Council for consideration at a future
date.

TITLE: Et�11CS LAST REVISION DATE:
POLICY STATEMENT
Public service is a public trust of which all City employees are stewards. It is essential that the public has
confidence in those who act on their behalf in government. It is the City's policy to promote, uphold, and
demand the highest standards of ethical beha�ior from all employees. The purpose of this policy is to set ethical
expectations and guidelines, foster an environment of integrity and impartiality, and thereby enhance the City's
ability to function effectively.
By promoting the City's values and prohibiting conduct incompatible with the best interest of the organization
and public, risks are minimized and public trust is strengthened. Each City employee must strive to adhere to
the technical compliance and principles set forth in this policy. It is not the purpose of this policy to provide a
mechanism to defame, harass, or abuse employees or to exploit personal grudges.
This policy is not all-inclusive. It is supplemental to all applicable City policies, ordinances, and State/Federal
laws and regulations. Employees are expected to use reasonable judgement for decisions that are not outlined
in this or other City policies. Other policies may be referenced for more detailed information.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES
L Conflicts of Interest
A conflict of interest is a situation in which personal and/or financial considerations have the potential to
influence or compromise professional judgment or actions. Conflicts of interest are challenging
organizational concerns because they are subject to sensitivities based on perception. In order to manage
the associated risks, real or perceived, it is the City's policy to address conflicts of interest through
disclosure and recusal.
A. General Rules
Employees shall be proactive and transparent with any relationships that are a potential conflict of
interest. Employees shall avoid actions or conduct that they know or should know is likely to impact
the personal or financial interests of:
The employee;
The employee's spouse, child, parent, or member of the household;
An outside client or secondary employer of the employee;

TITLE: Ethics
REFERENCE NUMBER:
10.00
• A client or employer of the employee's spouse, child, parent, or member of the household;
• An entity for which the employee serves as an officer, director, or policy maker;
• A board or committee to which the employee is appointed; or a person or entity with whom the
employee or their spouse solicited, received, or accepted an offer of employment or business
opportunity within the past twelve (12) months.
B. Disclosure and Recusal
Employees shall proactively report and submit a disclosure form for any relationship that presents a
potential conflict of interest as soon as they are aware of the conflict. Employees involved in a
purchase or solicitation must submit the required disclosure forms before any solicitation material will
be shared with them. The disclosure forms will be reviewed by Purchasing, Compliance, and Legal to
determine if a conflict exists. If a conflict is identified, the employee will be recused from any
decision-making, influence, or solicitations that involve the vendor or individual(s) identified in the
conflict.
C. Training
Employees shall complete annual training regarding this policy.
IL Private Interests

division. The six (6) month period to arrange a transfer may be extended in 30-day increments with the
approval of the City Manager, the department director, and the supervisor. The extension sha]1 not
exceed 90 calendar days. If a transfer is not possible, one of the employees will be subject to mandatory
reassignment. If this is not possible, one of the employees will be subject to dismissal. The

HR/POLICY/10.00
PAGE7OF14

TITLE: Ethics
REFERENCE NUMBER:
10.00
business practices or policies. Examples include, but are not limited to, waiving charges or fees or

There are a few exceptions to the gift prohibition. Employees should use their best judgement of what

duties (each party or their organization must pay for their own meals and disclose);
• The meal discount is part of a campaign that includes all City employees;
• The meal is included as part of a community event where attendance by the employee is required
as part of their essential duties;
• The meal is discounted or gifted for reasons independent of the employee's position with the City;
C. Events
HR/POLICY/10.00
PAGE80F14
POLICY/ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE/ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTIVE (Continued
TITLE: Ethics
REFERENCE NUMBER:
10.00
Attendance of events must be deemed essential for training or business needs and approved by the
employee's chain of command. Events include, but are not limited to, conferences, off-site meetings,
and trade shows. Tra�el and expenses should also be approved and follow the City's policies for
reimbursement of expenses (408.01 and 408.03), where applicable.

Meals that meet the exceptions outlined in the meals section of this policy (section II-B); or
Transportation, registration, meals, or lodging provided due to a speech or service the employee
rendered at the event (see Honorariums).
Honorariums
Honorariums are defined as payment of money or anything of value for an appearance, speech or
article. State law prohibits a public servant from soliciting or accepting an honorarium if the
subject matter is directly related to the person's position with the City. This applies even if the
employee provides the speech or services on their own personal time and there is no expenditure
of public resources. The audience or organization for which the speech or services are being
provided is not a factor or exception. Discounted or complimentary transportation, meals, or
lodging are acceptable in these circumstances.
ii. Games of Chance
A game of chance is defined as any game or contest in which the outcome depends on chance,
regardless of whether there is a cost to participate (e.g., raffles, drawings, or sweepstakes). An
employee who is representing the City at an event or who is attending the event at the City's
expense, shall not participate in games of chance or accept a prize or award from a game of chance
associated with that event. An exclusion is internal, City-sponsored events (e.g., Benefits and
Wellness Fair).
D. Disclosure
Proactive steps should be taken to inform individuals, businesses, and organizations of the City's
policies regarding gifts, meals, and events. Any unsolicited gifts received by an employee,
department, office, or work group that do not meet the exception criteria, are property of the City.
Every effort should be made to decline and/or return the gift to the sender or to donate the gift to an
approved organization. The sender should be contacted to express appreciation and explain the City's
HR/POLICY/10.00
PAGE 9 OF 14
POLICY/ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE/ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTIVE (Continued
TITLE: Ethics
REFERENCE NUMBER:
10.00
gift policy. In addition to these gifts, any unsolicited meals that cannot be declined or that do not meet
the listed exceptions, shall be disclosed. Employees shall disclose all such gifts and meals as soon as
possible, but no longer than 3 business days, from receipt. Disclosure should be provided prior to
transporting gifts for donation.
V. Boards, Commissions, and Association Memberships
Employees serving as members of boards, commissions, or associations that have business with the City
through contract or financial support will require disclosure and approval to avoid appearance of fa�oritism,
impropriety, and/or conflicts of interest. Prior to serving on a board, commission, or association, an employee
must request prior approval through their department head. Disagreements with denials should be addressed
through the City Manager's Office. An employee who is serving on a board at the time of hire and who intends
to continue serving must also obtain approval. Before approving a request, department heads will consider the
employee's position and role in funding and policy decisions as a board, commission, or association member
that could create a conflict or appearance of conflict of interest for either the employee or the City.
VL Confidential Information
Confidential information includes all information held by the City that is not available to the public under
the Texas Public Information Act.
An employee shall not use his or her position to obtain official information about any person or
entity for any purpose other than the performance of their essential duties.
An employee shall not intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly disclose any confidential
information gained by their position concerning the property, operations, policies or affairs of
the City. This rule does not prohibit:
1. Any disclosure that is no longer confidential by law; or
2. The confidential reporting of illegal or unethical conduct to authorities designated by law.
VIL Secondary Employment
The City of Denton sha]1 be the primary employer for all employees for which benefits are being supplied
(excludes temporary and seasonal employees). An employee may be employed in any capacity in any other
business, trade, occupation or profession while employed by the City of Denton, so long as it is determined
that such employment does not tend to bring the City into disrepute, reflect discredit upon the employee, impair
independence of judgment, create a conflict (or appearance of a conflict of interest), or conflict with their
employment or performance as a City employee. It is the intention of this policy to protect the employee and
the City from unintended consequences from secondary employment.
The City recognizes the prerogative of its employees to pursue other employment to occupy their off-duty
hours. However, this must be balanced with the City's need for full productivity during working hours and with
HR/POLICY/10.00
PAGE 10 OF 14
POLICY/ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE/ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTIVE (Continued
TITLE: Ethics
loyalty from its employees.
REFERENCE NUMBER:
10.00
No City time, resources, personnel, or equipment may be used in conjunction with secondary employment,
unless authorized in advance by the City Manager or designee.
Secondary employment shall not impair the employee's availability upon emergency recall by the City.
Secondary employment will not be considered an excuse for poor job performance, absenteeism, tardiness, or
refusal to work overtime. Should the secondary employment cause or contribute to any of these situations, it
must be discontinued or the employee will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination
from City employment.
As the primary employer, the employee must recognize the City's need for flexibility and changing schedules
based upon the demand for services or departmental needs.
A. External Secondary Employment
l. Prior to engaging in secondary employment, whether as an employee at another organization,
independent contractor, or self-employed, an employee must request prior approval through their
immediate supervisor and department head. An employee who is working another job at the time of
hire and who intends to continue the other employment must also obtain approval as outlined in this
section.
2. All requests for secondary employment must be submitted on a"Secondary Employment Approval
Request" form.
3. Before approving a request for secondary employment, supervisors and department heads must
ensure the secondary employment does not violate City or departmental rules, policies, or procedures
or create a conflict (or appearance of a conflict of interest) for either the employee or the City.
4. If a request for secondary employment is approved, the request should be forwarded to the Human
Resources Department for inclusion in the employee's personnel file.
5. Approval may be denied or withdrawn at any time by the department head, upon consultation with
the Human Resources Director or designee, when such employment violates City or departmental
rules, policies, or procedures or creates a conflict (or appearance of a conflict of interest) for the City.
The reason for denial or withdrawal must be documented in writing to the employee. Disagreements
with denials or withdrawals should be addressed through the City Manager's Office.
6. Generally, approvals or denials/withdrawals should be communicated to the employee within 72
hours (excluding weekends) of receiving the Secondary Employment Approval Request form. Delays
to this timeline should be communicated to the employee.
7. An approval form is required for every job outside of the City of Denton. A review and approval
of the secondary employment is required annually. A new approval form will be required for
changes to employers, positions, or work hours for secondary employment.

TITLE: Ethics
REFERENCE NUMBER:

8. Approval does not constitute the establishment of a joint employment relationship with any external
employer.
9. If the employee accepts secondary employment without approval, the employee may be subject to
disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from the City of Denton.
10. If an employee is injured while self-employed, working as an independent contractor, or working for
another organization, they will not be covered by the City of Denton's workers' compensation
program.
1 L If an employee is injured in the course and scope of employment with the City of Denton, and is
missing time from work, the employee must seek written approval from the Risk Manager or Human
Resources Director before working their secondary job (reference policy 409.01 — Workers'
Compensation/Salary Continuation Program, Section II. G and/or Section VL J2).
B. Internal Secondary Employment
l. A regular full-time employee may have a part-time job in another department if approved by the
supervisor and department head of their full-time job and the relevant guidelines outlined in Section
A. above are followed. The full-time job is considered the primary employer. To ensure provisions
of the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Human Resources Director or designee must also approve a full-
time employee working a part-time position with the City.
2. Employees may also work more than one part-time j ob with the City as long as the relevant guidelines
outlined in Section A. above are followed. The job the part-time employee is hired in first is
considered the primary employer. The primary employer will be responsible for maintaining a]1
records for the regular part-time employee, including:
a. Status sheets - pay records
b. Allocation and transfer of charges
The secondary employer must coordinate rate of pay, hours of work, and any other relevant
information with the primary employer.
NOTE: The Police and Fire Departments ha�e established written rules and regulations which may be more
restrictive than this policy. In such cases, those rules and regulations will supersede this policy.
VIIL Use of City Resources
An employee shall not use, request, or permit the use of City facilities, personnel, equipment, supplies, or
time for private purposes while on City duty (including political purposes), except:
1. Pursuant to duly adopted City policies, or
2. To the extent and according to the terms that those resources are lawfully available to the public.

effect of any of the following: destroying the efficiency of City employees in performing their duties;
impairing harmony; interfering with or disrupting City operations or functions; undermining authority; or
which prevents successful service with employees' superiors or close working relationships which are
essential to fulfill public responsibilities, or the ability for employees to perform their duties effectively,
may be subject to disciplinary action. See the City's disciplinary policy regarding unbecoming conduct
(109.01, Section V-B).

Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract for household hazardous disposal services with Green
Planet Inc.; providing for the expenditure of funds therefore; and providing an effective date (RFP 6618-
awarded to Green Planet Inc., in the three (3) year not-to-exceed amount of $216,350). The Public Utilities
Board recommends approval (6-0).
RFP INFORMATION
In 2006, the City of Denton's Solid Waste department implemented the Household Chemical Center (HCC)
program. The purpose of the program is to provide the residents of Denton with a safe and convenient
method to dispose of common household hazardous wastes. Materials collected by the program include
household cleaners, pesticides, paint, motor oil, and batteries. Improper disposal of these materials can
negatively affect the environment and human health by contaminating ground water, the water shed, area
lakes, and ultimately potable water for Denton and many surrounding communities.
Last year, the program collected and properly disposed of more than 120,000 pounds of hazardous waste.
The program is currently offered as a curbside collection service for residents. Following collection, Solid
Waste staff sort and process the waste and arrange for disposal through a third party vendor. The costs
associated with the agreement are dependent on the volume and types of wastes received and processed by
the vendor.
Staff recently issued a request for proposals (RFP) to procure hazardous waste disposal services. RFPs were
sent to 146 prospective contractors of this service. In addition, specifications were placed on the Materials
Management website for prospective contractors to download and advertised in the local newspaper. Seven
(7) proposals were received and evaluated based upon published criteria including price, project schedule,
compliance with specifications, and indicators of probable performance. Green Planet Inc., was ranked the
highest and determined to be the best value for the City (Exhibit 2). . Staff elected not to recommend award
of Section D. Solid Waste has an existing vendor whose costs are less than Green Planet's proposal.
Green Planet Inc., was established in 1997 and is based out of Royse City, TX. They currently provide
hazardous waste disposal services to the City of Frisco, City of Lubbock and the City of Abilene. They are
registered with the Texas Commission of Environmental quality (TCEQ) and the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
PRIOR ACTION/VIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
On March 26, 2018, the Public Utilities Board (PUB) recommended this item to the City Council for
consideration.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the execution of the attached disposal contract with Green Planet Inc., enabling the City
of Denton to utilize the contract for the proper disposal of household hazardous chemicals.
PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS
Green Planet Inc.
Royse City, TX
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
This is an initial one (1) year contract with options to extend the contract for two (2) additional one (1) year
periods, with all terms and conditions remaining the same.
FISCAL INFORMATION
The cost associated with disposal of household hazardous waste is funded through the Solid Waste operating
fund, account 660302.7855. The Fiscal Year 17-18 annual budget for this service is $55,000, with an
anticipated increase in budget over the next two years.
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The City of Denton's Strategic Plan is an action-oriented road map that will help the City achieve its vision.
The foundation for the plan is the five long-term Key Focus Areas (KFA): Organizational Excellence;
Public Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and Family-Friendly Community; and
Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support multiple KFAs, this
specific City Council agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and goal:
Related Key Focus Area: Sustainable & Environmental Stewardship
Related Goal: 5.1 Manage Denton's water resources

costs, must be borne by the Contractor which must be payable within five (5) business days of
receipt of an invoice.

and shall constitute, in the City's sole discretion, grounds for termination thereof. Each of the

include drafts and electronic files, even if such drafts or electronic files are subsequently used to
generate or prepare a final printed document.

guidelines, or in a manner that is determined by the City to be unsafe to either life or property.

Contract for cause by the City and may result in legal action.

incurred by the Contractor in the Contract price and execute an amendment to the Contract. The
Contractor must assert its right to an adjustment within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of
receipt of the notice of delay. Failure to agree on any adjusted price shall be handled under the
Dispute Resolution process specified in paragraph 49. However, nothing in this provision shall
excuse the Contractor from delaying the delivery as notified.
B. Neither party shall be liable for any default or delay in the performance of its obligations under
this Contract if, while and to the extent such default or delay is caused by acts of God, fire, riots,
civil commotion, labor disruptions, sabotage, sovereign conduct, or any other cause beyond the
reasonable control of such Party. In the event of default or delay in contract performance due to
any of the foregoing causes, then the time for completion of the services will be extended;
provided, however, in such an event, a conference will be held within three (3) business days to

DocuSign Envelope ID: FB7D5CB7-1932-4104-B6C2-68757B29F0BB

definition shall control, unless otherwise defined in the Contract.
49. DISPUTE RESOLUTION:
A. If a dispute arises out of or relates to the Contract, or the breach thereof, the parties agree to
negotiate prior to prosecuting a suit for damages. However, this section does not prohibit the filing
of a lawsuit to toll the running of a statute of limitations or to seek injunctive relief. Either party
may make a written request for a meeting between representatives of each party within fourteen
(14) calendar days after receipt of the request or such later period as agreed by the parties. Each
party shall include, at a minimum, one (1) senior level individual with decision-making authority
regarding the dispute. The purpose of this and any subsequent meeting is to attempt in good faith
to negotiate a resolution of the dispute. If, within thirty (30) calendar days after such meeting, the
parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the dispute, they will proceed directly to
mediation as described below. Negotiation may be waived by a written agreement signed by both
parties, in which event the parties may proceed directly to mediation as described below.
B. If the efforts to resolve the dispute through negotiation fail, or the parties waive the negotiation
process, the parties may select, within thirty (30) calendar days, a mediator trained in mediation
skills to assist with resolution of the dispute. Should they choose this option; the City and the
Contractor agree to act in good faith in the selection of the mediator and to give consideration to
qualified individuals nominated to act as mediator. Nothing in the Contract prevents the parties
from relying on the skills of a person who is trained in the subj ect matter of the dispute or a contract
interpretation expert. If the parties fail to agree on a mediator within thirty (30) calendar days of
initiation of the mediation process, the mediator shall be selected by the Denton County Alternative
Dispute Resolution Program (DCAP). The parties agree to participate in mediation in good faith
for up to thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the first mediation session. The City and the
Contractor will share the mediator's fees equally and the parties will bear their own costs of
participation such as fees for any consultants or attorneys they may utilize to represent them or
otherwise assist them in the mediation.
50. JURISDICTION AND VENUE: The Contract is made under and shall be governed by the
laws of the State of Texas, including, when applicable, the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted
in Texas, V.T.C.A., Bus. & Comm. Code, Chapter l, excluding any rule or principle that would
refer to and apply the substantive law of another state or jurisdiction. All issues arising from this
Contract shall be resolved in the courts of Denton County, Texas and the parties agree to submit
to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts. The foregoing, however, shall not be
construed or interpreted to limit or restrict the right or ability of the City to seek and secure
injunctive relief from any competent authority as contemplated herein.
51. INVALIDITY: The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision of the Contract
shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other portion or provision of the
Contract. Any void provision shall be deemed severed from the Contract and the balance of the
Contract shall be construed and enforced as if the Contract did not contain the particular portion
or provision held to be void. The parties further agree to reform the Contract to replace any stricken
provision with a valid provision that comes as close as possible to the intent of the stricken
provision. The provisions of this section shall not prevent this entire Contract from being void
should a provision which is the essence of the Contract be determined to be void.

a. a certificate of coverage, prior to the other person beginning work on the

5. retain all required certificates of coverage on file for the duration of the

providing services on the project; and
7. Contractually require each person with whom it contracts, to perform as
required by paragraphs (1) -(7), with the certificates of coverage to be
provided to the person for whom they are providing services.
J. By signing this contract or providing or causing to be provided a certificate of

employees of the contractor who will provide services on the project will be
covered by workers' compensation coverage for the duration of the project,
that the coverage will be based on proper reporting of classification codes and
payroll amounts, and that all coverage agreements will be filed with the
appropriate insurance carrier or, in the case of a self-insured, with the
commission's Division of Self-Insurance Regulation. Providing false or
misleading information may subject the contractor to administrative penalties,
criminal penalties, civil penalties, or other civil actions.
K. The contractor's failure to comply with any of these provisions is a breach of
contract by the contractor which entitles the governmental entity to declare the
contract void if the contractor does not remedy the breach within ten days after
receipt of notice of breach from the governmental entity.

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Denton (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your pocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly,
and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of
this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your pocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a$0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the

and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your pocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,

Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract for the purchase of substation Remote Terminal Unit
(RTU) software and Human Machine Interface (HMI) software, with Subnet Solutions, Inc., which is the
sole provider of this software. In accordance with Texas Local Government Code 252.022, provides that
procurement of commodities and services that are available from one source are exempt from competitive
bidding; and if over $50,000 shall be awarded by the governing body; and providing an effective date (File
6500 awarded to Subnet Solutions, Inc. in the three (3) year not-to-exceed amount of $307,980). The Public
Utilities Board recommends approval (6-0).
BACKGROUND
Denton Municipal Electric (DME) has substation projects in its approved five year Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP) that will require purchase of Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) and Human Machine Interface (HMI)
software for use in substations. This software is necessary to collect and manage data for input into the
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system in substations and will be installed on
Schweitzer Engineering Labs (SEL) 3355 relay panel mounted substation computers. The SCADA system
is the mechanism for collecting field information for monitoring and for remotely controlling substation
equipment. This information is also required for reporting system status and performance data to ERCOT.
The substation SCADA RTU is the field end for collecting analog quantities, such as voltages, currents,
megawatts, temperatures, and statuses of devices such as breaker positions, relay contact positions, alarms,
etc. The RTU software and the substation computer are both necessary to create the RTU function. The
HMI software is used to display the field SCADA input data on the screen of the substation computer using
displays similar to what System Operators use in the System Operations Control Room. There will be
multiple substation computers in each station, serving as RTU's, with the number dependent on the station
size and configuration. An RTU software license is required for each computer.
The CIP included ten (10) new and existing substations that will require an estimated total of 66 Subnet
RTU licenses and 13 HMI licenses. Quantities of licenses may vary depending on the size and exact designs
of substations.
In most existing substations the SCADA functions are performed using RTU equipment purchased under
contract 5526 - Advanced Control Systems RTU. DME is transitioning to the use of the SEL 3355 and
Subnet software for new stations and when older RTU's must be replaced. This approach offers increased
functionality and redundancy that was not a part of older systems and does this at reduced cost. Because
of the benefits of the present design, DME has elected not to pursue another contract with Advanced Control
Systems. The Advanced Control Systems contract expired in July of 2017. DME currently purchases the
SEL 3355 from Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (Contract 6046) and must purchase RTU software
from Subnet Solutions Inc. to create the field RTU's. These two products fully replace and enhance
significantly the features of the ACS RTU product.
DME has used SEL hardware and Subnet software for RTU functions for several years and has now moved
to this as a standardized approach. There are several reasons for this selection. The main reason is
reliability. The SEL equipment performs consistently without issue, and SEL offers the best warranty in
the industry at 10 years. The Subnet software has proven reliable through 8 years of trouble free use in
several substations. Use of SEL hardware and Subnet software will reduce the cost of and improve
reliability over past methods. A cost comparison is shown in Exhibit 2. Use of the 3355 and Subnet
software also provides additional features that were not available with the Advanced Control Systems RTU.
These features provide ease of setup, quick troubleshooting features, additional protocol support, and HMI
in a platform that is fully compatible with all the other protective equipment that DME uses in substations.
Lastly, it allows for a fully redundant backup system, on line and functional at the reduced cost.
Subnet handles marketing of their products directly on a nation-wide basis. There is no network of dealers
for this highly technical product. Because of this, there is no mechanism for competitive bidding.
Therefore, DME is requesting a sole source designation for Subnet products (Exhibit 3 and 4). Section
252.022 of the Local Government Code provides that procurement of sole source commodities and services
are exempt from competitive bidding, if over $50,000, shall be awarded by the governing body.
The proposed contract does not require expenditure of any minimum purchase amount.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
On March 26, 2018, the Public Utilities Board (PUB) recommended this item to the City Council for
consideration.
RECOMMENDATION

RTU and HMI software in an amount not to exceed $307,980.
PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS
Subnet Solutions, Inc.
Alberta, Canada
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
This is three (3) year contract.
FISCAL INFORMATION
The costs for material purchased under the proposed agreement will be funded out of amounts budgeted for
specific projects. Purchase orders will be issued based on need in project construction schedules or on
replacement needs.
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The City of Denton's Strategic Plan is an action-oriented road map that will help the City achieve its vision.

DME has substation projects approved in its five year Capital Improvement Plan that will require
purchase of Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) software for use in substation buildings. This
software is necessary to make the SCADA system function with the substations. Current the
functions this software perform are integrated into the RTU equipment being purchased under
contract #5526 - Advanced Control Systems RTU. Due to failures with this equipment, difficulty
of use, and cost we are electing to not purchase RTUs from this contract. Also, this contact will
expire in July 2017.
We currently purchase RTU capable hardware from Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories
(Contract #6046) and RTU capable software from Subnet Solutions Inc (No Contract). These
two products fully replace the features of the RTU product purchased under the Advanced
Control Systems RTU contract #5526.
DME is choosing to standardize on Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories hardware and Subnet
Solutions Inc. software for RTU functions. There are several reasons for this selection. First and
foremost among these is reliability. SEL equipment performs consistently as intended and this
has resulted in SEL being able to offer the best warranty in the industry at 10 years. Also,
Subnet Solutions Inc. software has proven reliability in the DME system through 8 years of
trouble free use. Second, the use of Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories hardware and Subnet
Solutions Inc. software is less costly than the Advanced Control Systems RTU. A cost
comparison is shown on the next sheet. Third, this software also provides additional features
that were not available with the Advanced Control Systems RTU. These features provide ease of
setup, quick troubleshooting features, additional protocol support, and HMI.
For the reasons listed above, DME wishes to enter into a long term contract with Subnet
Solutions Inc. to purchase substation software products.

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Denton (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your pocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly,
and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of
this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your pocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a$0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your pocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.

address. We do not require any other information from you to change your email address..

by us to you electronically, you must send us an e-mail to purchasing@cityofdenton.com and in

page, select the check-box indicating you wish to withdraw your consent, or you may;

SUBJECT
April 3, 2018
Consider approval of a resolution authorizing the city manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding
on behalf of the City of Denton with the Denton Independent School District, relating to the School
Resource Officer program; increasing the DISD reimbursement from $199,085 to $404,390; and providing
an effective date.
BACKGROUND
The Denton Police Department assigns a police officer to each of the three DISD high school campuses and
each of the three DISD middle school campuses within the city limits. These School Resources Officers are
deployed to the campuses on a full-time basis to provide a police presence and to help maintain a safe,
secure, and orderly learning environment for students and staff. Beginning in 201 l, the Denton Independent
School District reimbursed the City of Denton at a rate of fifty percent of the annual salary and benefits of
the School Resource Officers assigned to three high schools within the city limits of Denton: Guyer High
School, Denton High School, and Ryan High School. DISD did not pay any of the costs associated with
permanently deploying full-time school resource officers to the three middle schools within the city limits:
Calhoun Middle School, Mc Math Middle School, and Strickland Middles School.
For several years, the SRO program has been codified through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
between the City of Denton and DISD. The MOU, which is reviewed and approved annually, outlines the
mission, goals, and the financial aspects of the SRO program. Beginning July l, 2018, DISD has agreed to
increase the reimbursement to the City and provide for fifty percent of the annual salary and benefits of the
School Resource Officers assigned to all six of the middle and high school campuses within the city limits.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that council approves the Memorandum of Understanding with DISD for the SRO
program.

authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a contract through the Buy Board Cooperative
Purchasing Network Contract # 515-16 for the acquisition of one (1) replacement 2018 Case mode1590SN
Extended Reach Backhoe for $92,89724 for the Denton Municipal Electric Distribution Department;
providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective date (File 6763 - awarded to
Associated Supply Company, Inc., in the amount of $92,89724). The Public Utilities Board recommends
approval (6-0).
BACKGROUND
This item is for the purchase of one (1) replacement Backhoe for the Electric Distribution Department that

backhoes that have together accrued over $80,000 in lifetime to date (LTD) maintenance costs. This
purchase will effectively result in a fleet reduction, as the two existing backhoes will be auctioned when the
new unit is delivered. The new backhoe will be used to trench, excavate conduit and pull poles.
Fleet staff obtained three (3) quotes from prospective suppliers of this type of equipment (Exhibit 2). All
quotes were from a cooperative contract, and provide an extended 36 month warranty which covers all
parts, labor and travel time. The lowest quote was submitted by Associated Supply Company, Inc. (ASCO)
on Buy Board Cooperative Purchasing Network Contract #515-16.
Pricing obtained through the Buy Board Cooperative Purchasing Network has been competitively bid and
meets the statutory requirements of Texas Local Government Code 271.102.

On February l, 2005, Council approved the interlocal with the Buy Board Cooperative Purchasing
Network (Ordinance 2005-034).
On March 26, 2018, the Public Utilities Board (PUB) recommended this item to the City Council for
consideration.

amount not to exceed $92,89724.

BACKGROUND
This purchase request is for a planned fleet replacement of unit WDl 137, a 2011 model John Deere Skid-
Steer Loader with a life expectancy of eight (8) years. This loader has accumulated over $25,000 in lifetime

Fleet staff obtained three (3) quotes from prospective suppliers of this type of equipment (Exhibit 2). All
quotes were from the Buy Board Cooperative Network Contract #515-16. The Kubota loader is not the
lowest cost loader quoted; however, based on implement compatibility issues and maintenance issues with
the existing Bobcat loaders, staff is recommending Kubota as the best value for the City (Exhibit 3).

meets the statutory requirements of Texas Local Government Code 271.102.

1 �'. � M; I
Currently the W ater Distribution depariment is using a slcid steer machine that is smaller than what
is needed for our construction crews. This unit (WD1137) compared to the unit that we are
requesting will have the following advantages.
�s� WD1137 has a�VW 84001bs where the Kubota we are requesting has a�VW of 11,0001bs.
�s� Increase in horse power (96.4 vs 76)
�s� Higher hydraulic power (241 gal/min vs 21.9 gal/min) which translates direcily into more
lif�ing capability to move more materials than we currently use.
�s� Better perfor�nance of hydraulic tools and implements currently owned.
�s� Potential of increase productivity by 9 hours per week and 12 days per year.
�s� Tracics are being requested due to being more versatile than tires
➢ With tracics the force to ground ratio is 20% better than tires.
➢ Tracics have 42% better traction on all surfaces.
➢ With the better traction it has been proven to increase the life of the machine
➢ Cost of replacement of tires verses tracics is $1,0331ess to replace tracics.
The Kubota seems to be the best suited machine for our intended purpose on construction crews
in the water distribution division. This coupled with the fact that any implements that we currently
have will interface with the Kubota and will run better with the increased hydraulic flow that the
Kubota supplies. The implements that we use do not interface with John Deere. Another item is
since other departments are going to Kubota as well this will allow staff to have other resources
with the same machines.

April 3, 2018
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract for Maintenance and Repairs of TXDOT Street Lights
with Standard Utility Construction, Inc.; providing for the expenditure of funds therefore; and providing an
effective date (RFP 6640 awarded to Standard Utility Construction, Inc. in the three (3) year not-to-exceed
amount of $300,000). The Public Utilities Board recommends approval (6-0).
RFP INFORMATION
The City of Denton, Texas is responsible for maintaining the existing continuous street lighting along all
TXDOT streets, overpasses, bridges, and thoroughfares within the City limits of Denton. The total number
of lights to be maintained is approximately 300. TXDOT has installed new luminaires and circuits from I-
35 & Hwy 380 down to I-35 and Post Oak Continuous lighting was installed versus safety lighting which
has more than tripled the amount of luminaires on I-35. The City of Denton (DME) has agreed to maintain
all new and existing luminaires.
Due to the high volume of traffic, and the amount of luminaires on I-35, DME does not have the staff or
the proper equipment to work on I-35 safely. Crews working on or along the I-35 corridor are required by
TXDOT to provide a relatively high level of traffic control in accordance with the Texas Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (TMUTCD).
DME is be responsible for administration of the TXDOT street light contract and for maintaining a sufficient
inventory of materials in order to successfully execute the tasks covered in this contract. The inventory
includes street light poles, underground cable, overhead conductor (wire), lamp fixtures, photocells, lighting
contactors, connection cabinets, luminaires (per TXDOT specification), breakaway pole bases or any other
materials needed for street lights.
Request for Proposals (RFP) were sent to 179 prospective contractors to provide these services. In addition,
specifications were placed on the Materials Management website for prospective respondents to download,
and advertised in the local newspaper. Due to the nature of these specialized services, only one (1) response
was received. The proposal was evaluated based upon published criteria including price, project schedule,
compliance with specifications, and indicators of probable performance. A Best and Final Offer (BAFO)
was conducted to reduce quantities of hours for each type of service and to modify the level of service from
a two man crew, to a single person for line item one.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
On March 26, 2018, the Public Utilities Board (PUB) recommended this item to the City Council for
consideration.
PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS
Standard Utility Construction, Inc.
Fort Worth, TX
RECOMMENDATION
Award a contract to Standard Utility Construction, Inc. for the maintenance and repairs of TXDOT Street
Lights along the IH35 corridor within the City of Denton Limits, for the three (3) year not-to-exceed amount
of $300,000.
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
This is an initial one (1) year contract with options to extend the contract for two (2) additional one (1) year

take possession of and utilize, in completing the construction of the proj ect, any materials,
tools, supplies, equipment, appliances, and plant belonging to the Prime Contractor or any
of its subcontractors, which may be situated at the site of the Project. The Owner in such
contingency may exercise any rights, claims or demands which the Prime Contractor may
have against third persons in connection with this Contract and for such purpose the Prime
Contractor does hereby assign, transfer and set over unto the Owner all such rights claims
and demands.
B. Liquidated Damages
The time of the completion of construction of the project is of the essence of the
contract. Should the Contractor neglect, refuse or fail to complete the construction within
the time herein agreed upon, after giving effect to extensions of time, if any, herein provided,
then, in that event and in view of the difficulty of estimating with exactness damages caused
by such delay, the City shall have the right to deduct from and retain out of such money

FNE HLTNDRED DOLLARS $500.00 per day for each and every day, including
weekends, that such construction is delayed on its completion beyond the specified time, as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty; if the amount due and to become due from the City
to the Contractor is insufficient to pay in full any such liquidated damages, the Contractor
shall pay to the City the amount necessary to effect such payment in full: Provided,
however, that the City shall promptly notify the Contractor in writing of the manner in which
the amount retained, deducted or claimed as liquidated damages was computed.
C. Cumulative Remedies
Every right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Owner shall be cumulative,
shall be in addition to every right and remedy now or hereafter existing at law or in equity
or by statute, and the pursuit of any right or remedy shall not be construed as an
election. Provided, however, that the provisions of the REMEDIES SECTION shall be
the exclusive measure of damages for failure by the Prime Contractor to complete the
construction of the Project within the time herein agreed upon.

engaged in the Work, the equipment used in the performance of the Work, and for purpose
of verification of Prime Contractor's Applications for Payment.
2.3 OWNER'S RIGHT TO STOP THE WORK
If the Prime Contractor fails to correct any portion of the Work which is not in accordance with
the requirements of the Contract Documents as required by Paragraph 12.2 or refuses or fails
to carry out all or any part of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Owner,
by written order, may order the Prime Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion of the Work,
until the cause for the order has been eliminated. The right of the Owner however, to stop the
Work shall not create or imply a duty on the part of the Owner to exercise this right for the
benefit of the Prime Contractor or any other person or entity. The rights of the Owner under
this Paragraph 2.3 shall be in addition to, and not in restriction of, the Owner's rights under
Paragraph 12.2.
2.4 OWNER'S RIGHT TO CARRY OUT THE WORK
If the Prime Contractor fails or refuses to carry out the Work or perform any of the terms,
covenants, or obligations of the Contract Documents, and fails or refuses to correct any failure
or refusal with diligence and promptness within fourteen (14) days after receipt of written
notice from the Owner, the Owner may correct the Prime Contractor's failure or refusal or
cause such failure or refusal to be corrected, without affecting, superseding, or waiving any
other contractual, legal, or equitable remedies the Owner has, including but not limited to the
Owner's termination rights under Article 13. In that case, an appropriate Change Order will be
issued deducting the Owner's cost of correction, including Architect/Engineer's compensation
for additional services and expenses made necessary by the failure or refusal of the Prime
Contractor from payments then or thereafter due to the Prime Contractor. The cost of correction
is subject to verification (but not approval) by the Architect/Engineer. If payments then or
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
thereafter due the Prime Contractor are not sufficient to cover the cost of correction, the Prime
Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner.

After final execution of the Contract and receipt and approval of the required performance and
payment bonds and evidence of required insurance, the Owner will issue a written Notice to
Proceed with the Work, including the designated Contract Time within which Substantial

increase to the Contract Sum whatsoever for this reason.

ARTICLE 4 - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION
41 THE DESIGN PROFESSIONAL (ARCHITECT/ENGINEER)
(a) The design professional is the person lawfully licensed to practice architecture or
engineering or a firm or other business entity lawfully practicing architecture/engineering
identified as such in the formal Building Construction Services Agreement and is referred
to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular in number. The term
"Architect/Engineer" means the Architect/Engineer or the Architect/Engineer's authorized
representative. The Owner may, at its option, designate a qualified Owner representative
to serve as the Architect/Engineer on the Project instead of an outside firm or person. In
such event, the references in these General Conditions that refer to the Architect/Engineer
shall apply to the Owner-designated Architect/Engineer representative and the Owner-
designated Architect/Engineer representative shall be accorded that same status by the
Prime Contractor.
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
(b) In the event the Architect/Engineer is an outside person or firm and the
Architect/Engineer's employment is terminated, the Owner may, at its option, contract with
a new outside Architect/Engineer to replace the former, or may designate a qualified Owner
representative to serve as the Architect/Engineer. The replacement Architect/Engineer,
whether an Owner representative, an independent Architect/Engineer or any other qualified
person or entity, shall be regarded as the Architect/Engineer for all purposes under the
Contract Documents and shall be accorded that same status by the Prime Contractor. Any
dispute in connection with such appointment shall be reviewed and settled by the Owner,
whose decision shall be final and binding.
(c) Owner reserves the right to appoint a representative empowered to act for the Owner during
the Construction Phase and to supersede the Architect/Engineer's Construction Phase
responsibility. Similarly, from time to time the Owner may expand or reduce the Owner's
delegation of powers to the Architect/Engineer, with the Owner notifying the Prime
Contractor of any such changes. The Architect/Engineer shall not be construed as a third
party beneficiary to the Contract and can in no way object to any expansion or reduction
of powers as set forth in this Subparagraph (c). In no event, however, shall the Owner have
control over charge of, or be responsible for, construction means, methods, techniques,
sequences, or procedures, or for safety precautions or programs in connection with the
Work since these are solely the Contractor's responsibility. The Owner will not be
responsible for the Prime Contractor's failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents. The Owner will not have control over or charge of and will not be
responsible for acts or omissions of Prime Contractor, Subcontractors, or their agents or
employees, or of any other persons performing portions of the Work.
4.2 ARCHITECT/ENGINEER'S RESPONSIBILITIES DURING CONSTRUCTION
(a) The Architect/Engineer will administer the Contract as described in the Contract
Documents and in accordance with the terms of the Architect/Engineer's agreement with
the Owner, where applicable, subject to the direction and approval of the Owner. If
requested by the Prime Contractor, the provisions of the Owner/Architect/Engineer
Agreement will be made available to the Prime Contractor.
(b) The Architect/Engineer shall provide, during performance of the Work, adequate and
competent periodic on-site construction observation, periodically visiting the Project site
to the extent necessary to personally familiarize themselves with the progress and quality
of the Work, and to determine if the Work is proceeding in accordance with the Contract
Documents. The Architect/Engineer shall not, however, be required to make continuous
on-site inspections to check the Work Field reports of each visit shall be prepared by the
Architect/Engineer and submitted to the Owner. The Architect/Engineer shall employ all
reasonable measures to safeguard the Owner against defects and nonconformities in the
Work The Architect/Engineer shall not be responsible for the construction means,
methods, techniques, sequences of procedures, nor for the safety precautions and programs
employed in connection with the Work The Architect/Engineer will, however,
immediately inform the Owner whenever defects or nonconformities in the Work are
observed, or when any observed actions or omissions are undertaken by the Prime
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
Contractor or any Subcontractor which are not in the best interests of the Owner or the
Proj ect.
(c) The Architect/Engineer and the Owner will not have control over or charge of and will not
be responsible for construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures, or
for safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work, since these are solely
the Prime Contractor's responsibility as provided in Paragraph 4.3. The Architect/Engineer
and the Owner will not be responsible for the Prime Contractor's failure to carry out the
Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. The Architect/Engineer and the Owner
will not have control over or charge of and will not be responsible for acts or omissions of
the Prime Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors, or their respective agents or
employees, or of any other persons performing portions of the Work for which the Prime
Contractor is responsible.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in the Contract Documents or when direct communications
have been specially authorized, the Owner and Prime Contractor shall endeavor to
communicate through the Architect/Engineer. Communications by and with the
Architect/Engineer's consultants shall be through the Architect/Engineer. Communications
by and with Subcontractors and material suppliers shall be through the Prime Contractor.
Communications by and with separate contractors will be through the Owner. The Prime
Contractor shall provide written confirmation of communications made directly with the
Owner and provide copies of such confirmation to the Architect/Engineer.
(e) Based on the Architect/Engineer's observations and evaluations of the Prime Contractor's
Applications for Payment, the Architect/Engineer will review and certify the amounts due
the Prime Contractor and will issue Certificates for Payment in such amounts.
(f) The Architect/Engineer and the Owner will each have authority to reject Work which does
not conform to the Contract Documents. Whenever the Architect/Engineer considers it
necessary or advisable for implementation of the intent of the Contract Documents, the
Architect/Engineer will have authority to require additional inspection or testing of the
Work in accordance with Subparagraphs 3.17(b) and 3.17(c), whether or not such Work is
fabricated, installed or completed. However, neither this authority of the
Architect/Engineer nor a decision made in good faith either to exercise or not to exercise
such authority shall give rise to any duty or responsibility of the Architect/Engineer to the
Prime Contractor, Subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers, their agents or
employees, or other persons performing portions of the Work.
(g) The Architect/Engineer will review and approve or take other appropriate action upon the
Prime Contractor's submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data, and Samples, but
only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with information given and the
design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. The Architect/Engineer's action will
be taken with such reasonable promptness as to not delay the Work or the activities of the
Owner, Contractor, or separate contractors. Review of such submittals is not conducted for
the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other details such as
dimensions and quantities, or for substantiating instructions for installation or performance
of equipment or systems, all of which remain the responsibility of the Prime Contractor as
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
required by the Contract Documents. The Architect/Engineer's review of the Prime
Contractor's submittals shall not relieve the Prime Contractor of any obligations under
Paragraphs 3.3, 3.5, and 3.12. The Architect/Engineer's review shall not constitute
approval of safety precautions or, unless otherwise specifically stated in writing by the
Architect/Engineer, of any construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or
procedures. The Architect/Engineer's approval of a specific item shall not indicate
approval of an assembly of which the item is a component.
(h) The Architect/Engineer will prepare Change Orders and may authorize minor changes in
the Work as provided in Paragraph 73.
(i) The Architect/Engineer will conduct inspections to determine the date or dates of

Certificate for Payment upon compliance with the requirements of the Contract
Documents.
(j) If the Owner and Architect/Engineer agree, the Architect/Engineer will provide one or
more Project representatives to assist in carrying out the Architect/Engineer's
responsibilities at the site. The duties, responsibilities, and limitations of authority of such
Project representatives shall be as set forth in an exhibit to be incorporated into the Contract
Documents.
(k) The Architect/Engineer will interpret and make recommendations to the Owner concerning
performance under and requirements of the Contract Documents upon written request of
either the Owner or Contractor. The Architect/Engineer's response to such requests will be
made with reasonable promptness and within any time limits agreed upon. The
Architect/Engineer shall secure the Owner's written approval before issuing instructions,
interpretations, or judgments to the Prime Contractor which change the scope of the Work
or which modify or change the terms and conditions of any of the Contract Documents.
(1) Interpretations and decisions of the Architect/Engineer will be consistent with the intent of

of Drawings. When making such interpretations and decisions, the Architect/Engineer will
endeavor to secure faithful performance by the Prime Contractor.
(m)The Architect/Engineer's decisions on matters relating to aesthetic effect will be final if
consistent with the intent expressed in the Contract Documents; provided that the
Architect/Engineer has the prior written approval of the Owner.
4.3 CLAIMS AND DISPUTES
(a) Definition; General Notice of Claim Procedure. As used in these General Conditions, a
"Claim" means a demand or assertion by one of the parties to the Contract seeking an
adjustment of the terms of the Contract Documents, of the Contract Sum, of the Contract
Time, or some other relief in respect to the terms of the Contract Documents. The term also
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
includes all other disputes between the Owner and the Contractor arising out of or relating
to the Project or the Contract Documents, including but not limited to claims that work was
outside the scope of the Contract Documents. The responsibility to substantiate the Claim
and the burden of demonstrating compliance with this provision shall rest with the party
making the Claim. Except where otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, a Claim
by the Prime Contractor, whether for additional compensation, additional time, or other
relief, including but not limited to claims arising from concealed conditions, WITHOUT
EXCEPTION, MUST BE MADE BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE
ARCHITECT/ENGINEER AND TO THE OWNER WITHIN FOURTEEN (14) DAYS
IMMEDIATELY AFTER OCCURRENCE OF THE EVENT OR EVENTS GNING
RISE TO THE PARTICULAR CLAIM. Every Claim of the Prime Contractor, whether for
additional compensation, additional time, or other relief, including but not limited to claims
arising from concealed conditions, shall be signed and sworn to by an authorized corporate
officer (if not a corporation, then an official of the company authorized to bind the Prime
Contractor by his signature) of the Prime Contractor, verifying the truth and accuracy of
the Claim. THE PRIME CONTRACTOR SHALL BE CONCLUSNELY DEEMED TO
HAVE WANED ANY CLAIM NOT MADE STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE PROCEDURES AND TIME LIMITS SET OUT IN THIS PARAGRAPH.
(b) Referral to the Architect/Engineer. Claims, disputes, and other matters in question between
the Prime Contractor and the Owner relating to the progress or execution of the Work or
the interpretation of the Contract Documents shall be referred to the Architect/Engineer for
recommendation to the Owner, which recommendation the Architect/Engineer will furnish
in writing within a reasonable time, provided proper and adequate substantiation has been
received. Failure of the Prime Contractor to submit the Claim to the Architect/Engineer for
rendering of a recommendation to the Owner shall constitute a waiver of the Claim.
(c) Continuing Contract Performance. Pending final resolution of a claim the Prime Contractor
shall proceed diligently with performance of the Work and the Owner shall continue to
make payments in accordance with the Contract Documents.
(d) Claims for Concealed or Unknown Conditions. No adjustment in the Contract Sum or Time
associated with concealed or unknown conditions will normally be considered or allowed;
provided, however, that the Contract Sum or Time may be adjusted by the Owner in such
circumstances only if:
(1) a concealed subsurface condition is encountered in the course of performance of the
Work;
(2) a concealed or unknown condition in an existing structure is at variance with conditions
indicated by the Contract Documents; or
(3) an unknown physical condition is encountered below the surface of the ground or in an
existing structure which is of an unusual nature and materially different from those
ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the character of the
Work; and
(4) a notice of claim with proper and adequate substantiation is presented pursuant to
Subparagraph 4.3(a) of these General Conditions; and
(5) the Owner and the Architect/Engineer determine that:
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
(i) prior to submitting its bid for the Work, the Contractor used reasonable diligence to
fully inspect the portion of the Project site where the condition was discovered; and
(ii) the work caused or required by the concealed or unknown condition at issue can be
considered extra work to the extent that additional new Drawings must be prepared and
issued and new construction beyond the scope of the Contract Documents is required.
(e) Disclaimer of Warranties as to Reports, Drawings, and Specifications. PROJECT SITE
INFORMATION AND REPORTS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SOII,S
TESTING REPORTS, GEOTECHNICAL REPORTS, OR ENVIIZONMENTAL SITE
ASSESSMENTS) PROVIDED BY THE OWNER AND THE ARCHITECT/ENGINEER
IN THE PROJECT MANUAL OR BY OTHER MEANS SHALL BE UTILIZED BY THE
PRIME CONTRACTOR AT THE PRIME CONTRACTOR' S OWN RISK. THE
OWNER AND THE ARCHITECT/ENGINEER DO NOT GUARANTEE OR
WARRANT ANY 1NFORMATION SHOWN 1N THE PROJECT SITE 1NFORMATION
AND REPORTS.
(f) Claims for Additional Cost. If the Prime Contractor wishes to make a claim for an increase
in the Contract Sum, written notice as provided in this Paragraph 43 shall be given before
proceeding to execute the Work Prior notice is not required for claims relating to an
emergency endangering life or property arising under Paragraph 103. In addition, the
Prime Contractor's request for an increase in the Contract Sum for any reason (other than
work performed under emergency conditions) shall be made far enough in advance of
required work to allow the Owner and the Architect/Engineer a sufficient amount of time,
without adversely affecting the construction schedule, to review the request, prepare and
distribute such additional documents as may be necessary to obtain suitable estimates or
proposals and to negotiate, execute and distribute a Change Order for the required work if
the Prime Contractor believes that additional cost is involved for reasons including but not
limited to:
(1) a written interpretation from the Architect/Engineer;
(2) a written order for a minor change in the Work issued by the Architect/Engineer;
(3) failure of payment by the Owner;

to person or property because of an act or omission of the Owner, or of any of the Owner's
officers, employees or agents, written, sworn-to notice of any claim for damages or injury
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
shall be given as provided in Subparagraph 4.3(a). The notice shall provide sufficient detail
to enable the Architect/Engineer and the Owner to investigate the matter.
(h) Subcontractor Pass-Through Claims. In the event that any Subcontractor of the Prime
Contractor asserts a claim to the Prime Contractor, that the Prime Contractor seeks to pass
through to the Owner under the Contract Documents, any entitlement of the Prime
Contractor to submit and assert the claim against the Owner shall be subject to:
(1) the requirements of Paragraph 43 of these General Conditions; and
(2) the following additional three requirements listed below, all three of which additional
requirements shall be conditions precedent to the entitlement of the Prime Contractor
to seek and assert such claim against the Owner:
(ii) The Prime Contractor shall either (A) have direct legal liability as a matter of
contract, common law, or statutory law to the Subcontractor for the claim that the
Subcontractor is asserting or (B) the Prime Contractor shall have entered into a written
liquidating agreement with the Subcontractor, under which agreement the Prime
Contractor has agreed to be legally responsible to the Subcontractor for pursuing the
assertion of such claim against the Owner under the Contract and for paying to the
Subcontractor any amount that may be recovered, less Prime Contractor's included
markup (subject to the limits in the Contract Documents for any markup). The liability
or responsibilities shall be identified in writing by the Prime Contractor to the Owner
at the time such claim is submitted to Owner, and a copy of any liquidating agreement
shall be included by the Prime Contractor in the claim submittal materials.
(ii) The Prime Contractor shall have reviewed the claim of the Subcontractor prior to
its submittal to Owner and shall have independently evaluated such claim in good faith
to determine the extent to which the claim is believed in good faith to be valid. The
Prime Contractor shall also certify, in writing and under oath to the Owner, at the time
of the submittal of such claim, that the Prime Contractor has made a review, evaluation,
and determination that the claim is made in good faith and is believed by the Contractor
to be valid.
(iii) The Subcontractor making the claim to the Prime Contractor shall certify in writing
and under oath that it has compiled, reviewed and evaluated the merits of such claim
and that the claim is believed in good faith by the Subcontractor to be valid. A copy of
the certification by the Subcontractor shall be included by Prime Contractor in the claim
submittal materials made by Contractor to the Owner..
(3) Any failure of the Prime Contractor to comply with any of the foregoing requirements
and conditions precedent with regard to any such claim shall constitute a waiver of any
entitlement to submit or pursue such claim against Owner.
(4) Receipt and review of a claim by the Owner under this Subparagraph shall not be
construed as a waiver of any defenses to the claim available to the Owner under the
Contract Documents or by applicable law.
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
(i) Owner's Right to Order Acceleration and to Deny Claimed and Appropriate Time
Extensions, in Whole or in Part. The Prime Contractor acknowledges and agrees that
Substantial Completion of the Work by or before the Scheduled Completion Date is of
substantial importance to Owner. The following provisions, therefore, will apply:
(1) If the Prime Contractor falls behind the approved construction schedule for
whatever reason, the Owner shall have the right, in the Owner's sole discretion, to
order the Prime Contractor to develop a recovery schedule as described in
Paragraph 3.10 or to accelerate its progress in such a manner as to achieve
Substantial Completion on or before the Contract Time completion date or such
other date as the Owner may reasonably direct and, upon receipt, the Prime
Contractor shall take all action necessary to comply with the order. In such event,
any possible right, if any, of the Prime Contractor to additional compensation for
any acceleration shall be subject to the terms of this Subparagraph (i).
(2) In the event that the Prime Contractor is otherwise entitled to an extension of
Contract Time and has properly initiated a Claim for a time extension in accordance
with Subparagraph 4.3(a) above, the Owner shall have the right, in the Owner's
sole discretion, to deny all, or any part, of the Claim for extension of Contract Time
by giving written notice to the Prime Contractor provided within fourteen (14) days
after receipt of the Prime Contractor's Claim. If the Owner denies the Prime
Contractor's claim for an extension of Contract Time under this Clause (i)(2), either
in whole or in part, the Prime Contractor shall proceed to prosecute the Work in
such a manner as to achieve Substantial Completion on or before the then existing
Scheduled Completion Date.
(3) If the Prime Contractor would have been entitled to a time extension for a reason
specifically allowed under the Contract Documents, for an amount of time that
would have justified approval by the Owner if not for the need and right to
accelerate, the Prime Contractor may initiate a Claim for acceleration costs
pursuant to Subparagraph 4.3(a). Any resulting Claim for acceleration costs
properly initiated by the Prime Contractor under Subparagraph 4.3(a) above shall
be limited to those reasonable and documented direct costs of labor, materials,
equipment, and supervision solely and directly attributable to the actual
acceleration activity necessary to bring the Work back within the then existing
approved construction schedule. These direct costs include the premium portion of
overtime pay, additional crew, shift, or equipment costs if requested in advance by
the Contractor and approved in writing by the Owner. A percentage markup for the
prorated cost of premium on the existing performance and payment bonds and
required insurance; provided however, not to exceed five (5%) per cent, will be
allowed on the claimed acceleration costs. NO OTHER MARKUP FOR PROFIT,
OVERHEAD (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO HOME OFFICE
OVERHEAD) OR ANY OTHER COSTS WII,L BE ALLOWED ON ANY
ACCELERATION CLAIM. The Owner shall not be liable for any costs related to
an acceleration claim other than those described in this Clause (i)(3).
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
(i) Waiver of Claims; Final Payment. The making of final payment shall constitute a waiver
of claims by the Owner except those arising from:
(1) claims, security interests, purported liens, or other attempted encumbrances arising out
of the Contract and remaining unsettled;
(2) defective or nonconforming Work appearing after Substantial Completion;
(3) latent defects, as defined in Subparagraph 12.2(d), appearing after Final Completion;
or
(4) the terms of general and special warranties required by the Contract Documents or
allowed or implied by law.
(k) THE CONTRACTOR SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ATTORNEY' S
FEES AS A PART OF ANY CLAIM MADE UNDER THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
OR IN ANY SUBSEQUENT LAWSUIT OR ALTERNATNE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
PROCEEDING.
(1) No Waiver of Governmental Immunity. NOTHING IN THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO WAIVE THE OWNER' S GOVERNNIENTAL
IMMUNITY FROM LAWSUIT, WHICH IMMUNITY IS EXPRESSLY RETAINED TO
THE EXTENT IT IS NOT CLEARLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY WANED BY
APPLICABLE STATE LAW.

5.2 AWARD OF SUBCONTRACTS AND OTHER CONTRACTS FOR PORTIONS OF
THE WORK
(a) Immediately after the award of the Contract by the Owner, and before the Building
Construction Services Agreement is signed by the Prime Contractor and the Owner, the
Prime Contractor shall furnish to the Architect/Engineer in writing, for acceptance by the
Owner and the Architect/Engineer, a list of the names, addresses, telephone numbers,
M/WBE certification numbers (where applicable), and type of work of the Subcontractors
(including those who are to furnish materials or equipment fabricated to a special design),
proposed for the principal portions of the Work, including furnishings when made a part
of the Contract. The Prime Contractor shall immediately notify the Owner in writing of
any changes in the list as they occur. The Architect/Engineer will promptly reply to the

Subcontractor and either the Owner or Architect/Engineer. In no event shall the Contract
Sum be increased as a result of the rejection of any Subcontractor.
(d) The Prime Contractor shall not change a Subcontractor previously selected if the Owner or
Architect/Engineer makes reasonable objection to such change.

Contract Documents, assumes toward the Owner and the Architect/Engineer. Each
subcontract agreement shall preserve and protect the rights of the Owner and the
Architect/Engineer under the Contract Documents (including but not limited to these
General Conditions) with respect to the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor so that
subcontracting will not prejudice the rights of the Owner and the Architect/Engineer.

to a dispute or other problem with performance, the Prime Contractor shall note the
amount withheld and further note that the payment is in dispute. The Owner may, in its
sole discretion, require the Prime Contractor to document and verify the dispute or
other problem in question.
(3) The Owner reserves the right in its sole discretion, to withhold payment to the Prime
Contractor pursuant to Paragraph 9.5(a) of the General Conditions, should it appear

CONTRACTS
(a) The Owner reserves the right to perform construction or operations related to the Project
with the Owner's own forces, and to award separate contracts in connection with other
portions of the Project or other construction or operations on the Project site under
Conditions of the Contract identical or substantially similar to these General Conditions,
including those portions related to insurance and waiver of subrogation. If the Prime
Contractor claims that delay or additional cost is involved because of such action by the
Owner, the Prime Contractor shall make a claim as provided elsewhere in, and in
accordance with the Contract Documents.

schedules shall then constitute the schedules to be used by the Prime Contractor, separate
contractors, and the Owner until subsequently revised by mutual agreement or by written
Change Order. If the Prime Contractor believes it is entitled to an adjustment of the
Contract Sum under the circumstances, the Prime Contractor shall submit a written
proposal for a Change Order pursuant to Article 7 of the General Conditions. In the event
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
the Prime Contractor's Change Order proposal is denied by the Owner, the Prime
Contractor must submit any Claim pursuant to Paragraph 4.3 of the General Conditions.
(d) Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, when the Owner performs
construction or operations related to the Project with the Owner's own forces, the Owner
shall be deemed to be subject to the same obligations and to have the same rights which
apply to the Prime Contractor under these General Conditions, including, without
excluding others, those stated in Article 3, this Article 6, and Articles 10, 11 and 12.
6.2 MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY
(a) The Prime Contractor shall afford the Owner and separate contractors' reasonable
opportunity for access to and storage of their materials and equipment and the performance
of their activities and shall coordinate the Prime Contractor's construction and operations
with the separate contractors as required by the Contract Documents.
(b) If part of the Prime Contractor's Work depends for proper execution or results upon
construction or operations by the Owner or a separate contractor, the Prime Contractor
shall, prior to proceeding with that portion of the Work, promptly report to the
Architect/Engineer apparent discrepancies or defects in the other construction that would
render it unsuitable for proper execution and results. Failure of the Prime Contractor to so
report shall constitute an acknowledgment that the Owner's or separate contractors
completed or partially completed construction is fit and proper to receive the Prime
Contractor's Work, except as to defects not then reasonably discoverable.
(c) The Owner shall not be liable to the prime Contractor for damages suffered by the Prime
Contractor due to the fault or negligence of a separate contractor or through failure of a
separate contractor to carry out the directions of the Owner or the Architect/Engineer.
Should any interference occur between the Prime Contractor and a separate contractor, the
Architect/Engineer or the Owner may furnish the Prime Contractor with written
instructions designating priority of effort or change in methods, whereupon the Prime
Contractor shall immediately comply with such direction. In such event, the Prime
Contractor shall be entitled to an extension of the Contract Time only for unavoidable
delays verified by the Architect/Engineer; no increase in the Contract Sum, however, shall
be due to the Prime Contractor.
(d) The Prime Contractor shall promptly remedy damage wrongfully caused by the Prime
Contractor to completed or partially completed construction or to property of the Owner or
separate contractors as provided in Subparagraph 102(e).
(e) Should the Prime Contractor cause damage to the work or property of any separate
contractor on the Proj ect, the Prime Contractor shall, upon due notice, settle with the
separate contractor by agreement, if the separate contractor will so settle. If the separate
contractor sues the Owner or submits a claim on account of any damage alleged to have
been so sustained, the Owner shall notify the Prime Contractor who shall defend such
proceedings, at the Prime Contractor's sole expense, and if any judgment or award against
the Owner arises from the separate contractor's claim, the Prime Contractor shall fully pay
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
or satisfy it and shall reimburse the Owner for any and all attorney's fees and costs which
the Owner has incurred.
(f) The Owner and each separate contractor shall have the same responsibilities for cutting
and patching as are described for the Prime Contractor in Paragraph 3.14.
6.3 OWNER'S RIGHT TO CLEAN UP
If a dispute arises among the Contractor, separate contractors and the Owner as to the
responsibility under their respective contracts for maintaining the Project Site and surrounding
area free from waste materials and rubbish as described in Paragraph 3.15, the Owner may
clean up, but is not obligated to do so, and Owner shall allocate the cost among those parties
responsible, as the Architect/Engineer recommends to be just.
ARTICLE 7 - AMENDMENTS
71 CHANGE ORDERS
(a) A Change Order is a written order to the Contractor, signed by the Owner and the
Architect/Engineer, issued after execution of the Contract, authorizing a change in the
Work, an adjustment in the Contract Sum, or an adjustment to the Contract Time, consistent
with other applicable provisions of this Contract. The Owner, without invalidating the
Contract and without requiring notice of any kind to the sureties, may order changes to the
scope of Work under the Contract by additions, deletions, or other revisions, the Contract
Sum and Contract Time to be adjusted consistent with other applicable provisions of this
Contract. All Change Orders shall be executed on a Change Order form approved by the
Owner and the Owner's City Attorney.
(b) In addition to the Owner and the Architect/Engineer, the Contractor shall sign all Change
Orders to verify and confirm the terms and conditions established by Change Order;
however, should the Contractor refuse to sign a Change Order, this shall not relieve him of
his obligation to perform the change directed by the Owner and the Architect/Engineer to
the best of his ability in accordance with the provisions of this Article 7. A Change Order
signed by the Contractor indicates his agreement with all of the changes approved,
including the adjustment in the Contract Sum or the Contract Time. EACH CHANGE
ORDER SHALL BE SPECIFIC AND FINAL AS TO PRICES AND EXTENSIONS OF
TIME, WITH NO RESERVATIONS OR OTHER PROVISIONS ALLOWING FOR
FUTURE ADDITIONAL MONEY OR TIME AS A RESULT OF THE PARTICULAR
CHANGES IDENTIFIED AND FULLY COMPENSATED IN THE CHANGE ORDER.
The execution of a Change Order by the Contractor shall constitute conclusive evidence of
the Contractor's agreement to the ordered changes in the Work The Contractor forever
releases any claim against the Owner for additional time or compensation for matters
relating to or arising out of or resulting from the Work included within or affected by the
executed Change Order. This release applies to claims related to the cumulative impact of
all Change Orders and to any claim related to the effect of a change on other Work.
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
(c) No extra work (except under emergency conditions) or changes shall be made nor shall
any substitutions, changes or additions to or omissions or deviations from the requirements
of the Drawings and Specifications be made unless pursuant to a written Change Order
signed by the Owner and the Architect/Engineer, it being expressly understood that the
Owner shall not be liable for the cost of extra work or any substitution, change, addition,
omission or deviation from the requirements of the Drawings or Specifications unless the
same shall have been authorized in writing by the Owner and the Architect/Engineer in a
written change order or other Amendment. The provisions of this Paragraph 7.1 shall
control in the event of any inconsistency between such provisions and the other provisions
of this Article 7. See Subparagraph 10.3(a) of the General Conditions for Change Orders
under emergency conditions.
(d) The method of determining the cost or credit to the Owner for any change in the Work shall
be one of the following:
(1) mutual acceptance of a not-to-exceed lump-sum amount properly itemized and
supported by sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation; or
(2) unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon; or
(3) cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by the parties and a mutually acceptable
fixed or percentage fee; or
(4) the force account method provided in Subparagraph 71(e)
(e) If the parties cannot agree to one of the methods of calculating cost provided in Clauses (d)
(1), (d) (2), or (d) (3), or if the parties agree to a method but cannot agree on a final dollar
figure; or if the Contractor for whatever reason refuses to sign the Change Order in
question; the Contractor, provided he receives a written order signed by the Owner, shall
promptly proceed with the Work involved. The cost of the Work involved shall then be
calculated on the basis of the reasonable jobsite expenditures and savings of those
performing the Work attributable to the changes, including a reasonable allowance for
overhead and profit, such allowance in any case never to exceed fifteen (15%) per cent. In
such case, the Contractor shall keep an itemized accounting of the Work involved, on a
daily basis, in such form and with the appropriate supporting data as the Architect/Engineer
and Owner may prescribe. Sworn copies of the itemized accounting shall be delivered to
the Architect/Engineer each day during the performance of force account work, with copies
to the Owner.
FAILURE OF THE CONTRACTOR TO SUBMIT THE SWORN-TO ITEMIZED
ACCOUNTING DAILY AS REQUIIZED HEREIN SHALL CONSTITUTE A WANER
BY THE CONTRACTOR OF ANY RIGHT TO DISPUTE THE OWNER'S
DETERMINATION OF THE AMOUNT DUE THE CONTRACTOR FOR FORCE
ACCOLTNT WORK. Costs to be charged under this Subparagraph for force account work
are limited to the following:
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
(1) costs of labor, including social security, old age and unemployment insurance, fringe
benefits required by agreement or custom, and worker's compensation insurance;
(2) costs of materials, supplies and equipment (but not to include off-site storage unless
approved in writing by the Owner), whether incorporated or consumed;
(3) rental costs of machinery and equipment, exclusive of hand tools, whether rented from
the Contractor or others;
(4) costs of premiums for all bonds and insurance related to the Work; and
(5) additional costs of supervision and field office personnel directly attributable to the
changed Work Pending final determination of cost to the Owner, payment of
undisputed amounts on force account shall be included on the Architect/Engineer's
Certificate of Payment as work is completed.
(f) The amount of credit to be allowed to the Owner for any deletion of Work or any other
change which results in a net decrease of the Contract Sum shall be the amount of actual
net cost confirmed by the Architect/Engineer plus the stated percentage for overhead and
profit. When both additions and deletions or credits covering related Work or substitutions
are involved in any one change, the allowance for overhead and profit shall be figured on
the basis of the net increase or decrease with respect to that change.
7.2 SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS
A written Supplemental Agreement can also be used to implement changes in the Work instead of
a Change Order form, including but not limited to situations involving partial occupancy of the
Work under Paragraph 9.8, a change made to the Drawings or the Specifications without an
increase in the Contract Sum, or special circumstances where it is necessary or more appropriate
for the Owner to use a Supplemental Agreement. Written Supplemental Agreements shall have a
status equal to that of Change Orders for purposes of priority of Contract Documents interpretation,
except that to the extent of a conflict, later Supplemental Agreements in time control over earlier
Supplemental Agreements, and the latest Change Order or Supplemental Agreement in time
controls over earlier dated Change Orders and Supplemental Agreements. The rules of
Subparagraphs 71(b) through (f) shall also apply to the negotiation and execution of Supplemental
Agreements.
7.3 MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK
The Architect/Engineer, after notifying the Owner, shall be authorized to order minor changes in
the Work not involving an adjustment in the Contract Sum or an extension of the Contract Time
and not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract Documents. Minor changes shall be effected
by written order, and shall be binding on the Owner and the Contractor. The Contractor shall carry
out such written orders promptly. These written orders shall not be deemed to change or impact
the Contract Sum or the Contract Time. Contractor shall have no Claim for any minor change
ordered to the Work under this Paragraph 7.3 unless the Contractor submits its change proposal,
prior to complying with the minor change ordered and in no event later than ten (10) working days
from the date the minor change was ordered, to the Owner for approval.
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
7.4 TIME REQUIRED TO PROCESS AMENDMENTS
(a) All of the Contractor's responses to proposal requests shall be accompanied by a complete,
itemized breakdown of costs. Responses to proposal requests shall be submitted
sufficiently in advance of the required work to allow the Owner and the Architect/Engineer
a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Architect/Engineer to review
the itemized breakdown and to prepare or distribute additional documents as may be
necessary. All of the Prime Contractor's responses to proposal requests shall include a
statement that the cost described in the response represents the complete, total and final
cost and additional Contract Time associated with the extra work, change, addition to,
omission, deviation, substitution, or other grounds for seeking extra compensation under
the Contract Documents, without reservation or further recourse.
(b) All Amendments require approval by either the City Council or, where authorized by the
State law and City ordinance, by the City Manager pursuant to Administrative Action. The
approval process requires a minimum of forty-five (45) calendar days after submission to
the Owner in final form with all supporting data. Receipt of a submission by Owner does
not constitute acceptance or approval of a proposal, nor does it constitute a warranty that
the proposal will be authorized by City Council Resolution, Ordinance or Administrative
Action. THE TIME REQUIIZED FOR THE APPROVAL PROCESS SHALL NOT BE
CONSIDERED A DELAY AND NO EXTENSIONS TO THE CONTRACT TIME OR
INCREASE IN THE CONTRACT SUM WII,L BE CONSIDERED OR GRANTED AS
A RESULT OF THIS PROCESS. Pending the approval described above, the Contractor
will proceed with the work under a pending Amendment only if directed in writing by the
Owner.
ARTICLE 8 - CONTRACT TIME

the notice to proceed, through no fault of the Prime Contractor, the Prime Contractor shall
be entitled only to an equitable extension of the Contract Time; the Contract Sum shall
remain unchanged.
(c) The date of Substantial Completion is the date certified by the Architect/Engineer in
accordance with Paragraph 9.7.
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99

and ending at 12:00 midnight, unless otherwise specifically defined by special provision.
8.2 PROGRESS AND COMPLETION
(a) Time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Contract. By
executing the Building Construction Services Agreement, the Prime Contractor confirms
that the Contract Time is a reasonable period for performing the Work.
(b) The Prime Contractor shall not knowingly, except by agreement with or instruction of the
Owner in writing, prematurely commence operations on the Project site or elsewhere prior
to the effective date of insurance to be furnished by the Prime Contractor as required by
Article 1 l. The date of commencement of the Work shall not be changed by the effective
date of insurance required by Article 11.
8.3 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME
(a) If the Prime Contractor is delayed at any time in the progress of the Work by an act or
neglect of the Owner or Architect/Engineer, or of an employee of either, or of a separate
contractor employed by the Owner, or by changes ordered in the Work, or by labor
disputes, fire, unusual delay in deliveries, unavoidable casualties or other causes beyond
the Prime Contractor's control, or by delay authorized by the Owner pending a claim, or
by other causes which the Architect/Engineer determines may justify delay, then the
Contract Time shall be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as the
Architect/Engineer and Owner may determine.
(b) Claims relating to Contract Time and time extensions shall be made in accordance with the
applicable provisions of Paragraph 4.3.
(c) No Damages for Delay. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE
CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING THE GENERAL CONDITIONS, NO
ADNSTMENT SHALL BE MADE TO THE CONTRACT SUM AND THE PRIME
CONTRACTOR SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO CLAIM OR RECENE ANY
ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION AS A RESULT OF OR ARISING OUT OF ANY
DELAY, HINDRANCE, DISRUPTION, FORCE MAJEURE, IMPACT, OR
INTERFERENCE, INTENTIONAL OR UNINTENTIONAL, FORESEEN OR
UNFORESEEN, WHICH INCREASES THE TIME TO COMPLETE THE WORK,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY DELAYS CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN
PART BY THE ACTS, OMISSIONS, FAILURES, NEGLIGENCE, OR FAULT OF THE
OWNER, THE ARCHITECT/ENGINEER, OR THE OWNER'S REPRESENTATNE,
AN EXTENSION OF THE CONTRACT TIME UNDER SUBPARAGRAPH 83(a)
BEING THE PRIME CONTRACTOR'S SOLE REMEDY.
(d) The Owner shall have the right to occupy, without prejudice to the right of either party,
any completed or largely completed portions of the structure or Work, notwithstanding the
fact that the Contract Time for completing all or a portion of the Work may not have
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
expired. Partial occupancy and use shall not be deemed as an acceptance of the Work taken
or used.
(e) The Prime Contractor shall promptly suspend the Work when either the Prime Contractor
or the Owner is ordered to do so by a court order from a court having lawful jurisdiction,
and the Prime Contractor will not be entitled to additional compensation by virtue of any
delays resulting from the court order. The Prime Contractor will also not be liable to the
Owner for a delay caused in fact by the Work being suspended by a court order.
(f) The Architect/Engineer, with the consent of the Owner, shall have the authority to suspend
the Work, in whole or in part, for such period or periods as the Architect/Engineer deems
necessary due to unusual or severe weather conditions as are considered unfavorable for
the suitable prosecution of the Work, or due to failure on the part of the Prime Contractor
to correct conditions considered unsafe for workmen or the general public. If it should
become necessary to stop the Work for an indefinite period, the Prime Contractor shall
store all materials in such a manner that they will not obstruct or impede the public
unnecessarily or become damaged in any way, and shall take every precaution to prevent
damage or deterioration of the Work performed. In cases of suspension of the Work under
this Subparagraph, the Prime Contractor shall also provide suitable drainage about the
Work and erect temporary structures where necessary. The Prime Contractor shall not
suspend the Work in whole or in part without written authority from the Architect/Engineer
or the Owner, and shall resume the Workpromptly when notified by the Architect/Engineer
or the Owner to resume operations.
(g) In the event of a delay that is the responsibility of the Prime Contractor or any of the
Subcontractors, for which the Prime Contractor is not entitled to a time extension under
the provisions of this Contract, the Owner may direct that the Work be accelerated by
means of overtime, additional crews or additional shifts, or resequencing. This acceleration
shall be at no cost to the Owner and will continue until the Contract Time is restored. In
the event of a delay for which the Prime Contractor is entitled to a time extension, as
determined by the Architect/Engineer, Owner may similarly direct acceleration and the
Prime Contractor agrees to perform same on the basis that the Prime Contractor will be
reimbursed only to the extent described in Subparagraph 43(i). THE PRIME
CONTRACTOR EXPRESSLY WANES ANY OTHER COMPENSATION

Contractor for the performance of the Work under the Contract Documents.
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
9.2 SCHEDULE OF VALUES
Before the first Application for Payment, the Prime Contractor shall submit to the
Architect/Engineer a schedule of values allocated to various portions of the Work, prepared in
such form and supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as the Architect/Engineer
may require. This schedule, when approved by the Architect/Engineer and the Owner, shall be
used as a basis for the Prime Contractor's Application for Payment. The schedule of values
shall follow the trade division of the Specifications. Prime Contractor's Application for
Payment shall be filed on the current version of AIA Form G702 (Application and Certificate
for Payment), as approved by the Owner.
9.3 APPLICATIONS FOR PAYMENT
(a) At least ten (10) days before the date established for each progress payment, the Prime
Contractor shall submit to the Architect/Engineer an itemized Application for Payment for
Work completed in accordance with the schedule of values. The Application shall be
notarized, if required, and supported by data substantiating the Prime Contractor's right to
payment as the Owner or Architect/Engineer may require, including but not limited to
copies of requisitions from Subcontractors and material suppliers, and reflecting the
applicable retainage as required in the Contract Documents. Prime Contractor's
Application for Payment shall also provide other supporting documentation as the Owner
or the other applicable provisions of the Contract Documents may require.
(b) Applications for Payment may not include requests for payment of amounts the Prime
Contractor does not intend to pay to a Subcontractor because of a good faith dispute, unless
the Prime Contractor complies with Clause 5.3(b) (2) of these General Conditions and the
Prime Contractor's Payment Bond Surety consents in writing to payment to the Prime
Contractor of the funds deemed to be in dispute.
(c) Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, progress payments shall include
payment for materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the Project site for
subsequent incorporation into the Work within thirty (30) days after delivery to the Project
site. If approved in advance by the Owner, payment may similarly be made for materials
and equipment suitably stored away from the Project site at a location agreed upon in
writing. Payment for costs incurred in storage of materials or equipment away from the
Project site will NOT be made by Owner unless:
(1) the Owner has given prior approval of such off-site storage in writing;
(2) the materials or equipment are stored in a bonded warehouse located in Denton County
and identified with the Project for which they are stored, as evidenced by warehouse
receipts and appropriate documents of title; and
(3) the materials or equipment stored off-site will be incorporated into the Work within
thirty (30) days after delivery. STORAGE IN FACILITIES OF THE
MANUFACTURER OR THE PRIME CONTRACTOR WII,L NOT BE
PERMITTED OR PAID FOR, UNLESS THE OWNER HAS EXPRESSLY GNEN
PRIOR APPROVAL OF SUCH STORAGE IN WRITING.
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
(d) The Prime Contractor warrants that title to all Work covered by an Application for Payment
will pass to the Owner no later than the time of payment. The Prime Contractor further
warrants that upon submittal of an Application for Payment all Work for which Certificates
for Payment have been previously issued and payments received from the Owner shall be
free and clear of liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances in favor of the Prime
Contractor, Subcontractors, material suppliers, or other persons or entities making a claim
by reason of having provided labor, materials, and equipment relating to the Work.
(e) All materials or equipment delivered to the Project site earlier than thirty (30) days prior to
an approved schedule for delivery to the Project site shall be classified as an "early
delivery." All early delivery materials or equipment must have the express written
permission of the Owner to be stored on the Project site. If any unauthorized early delivery
occurs, Prime Contractor shall, at Prime Contractor's expense or at the expense of the
responsible Subcontractor or Supplier, cause such early delivery to be removed from the
Project site and stored off-site until required at the Project site. All costs of labor,
transportation and storage will be included as part of the expense. If the Prime Contractor
fails or refuses to remove unauthorized early delivery materials, the Owner may cause such
materials to be removed at the Prime Contractor's sole expense, and amounts may be
withheld from the Prime Contractor's Application for Payment to reimburse the Owner for
any costs incurred in removing unauthorized early delivery materials. OWNER WII,L
NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROTECTION OF OR RISK OF LOSS ON ANY
EARLY DELNERY MATERIALS OR EQUIl'MENT, NOR WII,L OWNER BE
LIABLE FOR ANY PAYMENT FOR THE EARLY DELNERY MATERIALS OR
EQUIl'MENT. Any materials or equipment classified as early delivery will not be
approved for payment as stored materials prior to thirty (30) days before the incorporation
of the materials or equipment into the Work, unless storage and payment at an earlier date
is expressly approved in writing by the Owner.
(f) If the Contract Sum is equal to or less than $25,000, and if performance and payment bonds
are not furnished by the Contractor, then no payment applied for will be payable under the
Contract until the Work has been finally completed and accepted.
9.4 CERTIFICATES FOR PAYMENT
(a) The Architect/Engineer will, within ten (10) days after receipt of the Prime Contractor's
Application for Payment, either issue to the Owner a Certificate for Payment, with a copy
to the Prime Contractor, for such amount as the Architect/Engineer determines is properly
due, or notify the Prime Contractor and Owner in writing of the Architect/Engineer's
reasons for withholding certification in whole or in part as provided in:
(a) City of Denton "General Conditions for Building Construction."
(b) Subparagraph 9.5(a). The Certificate for Payment shall be issued on the current version of
AIA Form G702 (Application and Certificate for Payment) as approved by the Owner.
(c) The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a representation by the
Architect/Engineer to the Owner, based on the Architect/Engineer's observations at the site
and the data comprising the Application for Payment, that the Work has progressed to the
point indicated and that, to the best of the Architect/Engineer's knowledge, information
and belief, quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents. The
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
foregoing representations are subject to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with
the Contract Documents upon Substantial and Final Completion, to results of subsequent
tests and inspections, to minor deviations from the Contract Documents correctable prior
to Final Completion and to specific qualifications expressed by the Architect/Engineer.
The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will further constitute a representation that the
Prime Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified, subject to the Owner's
approval. The issuance of a Certificate for Payment is not a representation that the
Architect/Engineer has:
(1) made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of
the Work;
(2) reviewed construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures;
(3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors and material suppliers
and other data requested by the Owner to substantiate the Prime Contractor's right to
payment; or
(4) made examination to ascertain how or for what purpose the Prime Contractor has used
money previously paid on account of the Contract Sum.
(d) Whenever the Application for Payment for Work done since the last previous Application
for Payment exceeds one hundred dollars ($100.00) in amount, Owner will pay a
percentage of the Application, less applicable retainage, to the Prime Contractor within
thirty (30) days following Owner's receipt and approval of the Certificate for Payment
certified by the Architect/Engineer. The Application may include acceptable nonperishable
materials delivered to the Work or stored as provided for in Paragraph 93(c) and the
payment will be allowed on the net invoice value, less taxes and applicable retainage.
(e) The City is required to withhold five percent (5%) retainage for public works contracts in
which the total contract price estimate at the time of execution is more than $400,000;
however, this requirement is applied by the City for all public works contracts in excess of
$50,000. The retainage will be withheld by the Owner from each progress payment until
final completion of the Work by the Contractor, approval of final completion by the
Architect/Engineer, and final acceptance of the Work by the Owner. Unless otherwise
required by state law, the retainage percentage as specified above is based upon the original
Contract Sum, and will not be affected in the event the original Contract Sum is
subsequently increased by Change Order.
(f) No progress payments shall be made on contracts where performance and payment bonds
are not required or furnished. In such instances, payment for the Work performed will be
made upon final completion and acceptance by the Owner of all Work.
9.5 DECISIONS TO WITHHOLD CERTIFICATION
(a) The Architect/Engineer or the Owner may decide not to certify payment and may withhold
a Certificate for Payment in whole or in part, to the extent reasonably necessary to protect
the Owner's interest, if in the Architect/Engineer's or Owner's opinion the representations
to the Owner required by Subparagraph 9.4(b) cannot be made. If the Architect/Engineer
or the Owner is unable to certify payment in the amount of the Application, the
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
Architect/Engineer or the Owner will notify the Prime Contractor as provided in
Subparagraph 9.4(a). If the Prime Contractor and Architect/Engineer or the Owner cannot
agree on a revised amount, the Architect/Engineer will promptly issue a Certificate for
Payment for the amount for which the Architect/Engineer is able to make the required
representations to the Owner. The Architect/Engineer or the Owner may also decide not to
certify payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or subsequent
observations, may nullify the whole or a part of a Certificate for Payment previously issued
to such extent as may be necessary, in the Architect/Engineer's or Owner's opinion, to
protect the Owner from loss because of:
(1) defective or nonconforming Work not remedied;
(2) third-party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such
claims;
(3) failure of the Prime Contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors or for
labor, materials, or equipment;
(4) reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the unpaid balance of the
Contract Sum;
(5) damage to the Owner or another contractor;
(6) reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time, and
that the unpaid balance would not be adequate to cover actual or damages for the
anticipated delay;
(7) persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents; or
(8) mathematical or other errors that are discovered in the Application for Payment.
(b) When all of the above reasons that existed for withholding certification are removed or
remedied, then, at that time, certification will be made for amounts previously withheld.
(c) The Owner may, at its option, offset any progress payment or final payment under the
Contract Documents against any debt (including taxes) lawfully due to the Owner from the
Prime Contractor, regardless of whether the amount due arises pursuant to the terms of the
Contract Documents or otherwise, and regardless of whether or not the debt due to the
Owner has been reduced to judgment by a court.
9.6 PROGRESS PAYMENTS
(a) After the Architect/Engineer has issued a Certificate for Payment, the Owner shall make
payment in the manner and within the time provided in the Contract Documents, and shall
so notify the Architect/Engineer. The Owner shall not be liable for interest on any late or
delayed progress payment or final payment caused by any claim or dispute, any
discrepancy in quantities, any failure to provide supporting documentation or other
information required with the Application for Payment or as a precondition to payment
under the Contract Documents, or due to any payment the Owner or the Architect/Engineer
has a right to withhold or not certify under the Contract Documents. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Owner may refuse to make payment on any Certificate for Payment
(including, without limitation, the final Certificate for Payment) for any default under the
Contract Documents, including but not limited to those defaults set forth in Subparagraph
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
9.5(a), Clauses (1) through (7). The Owner shall not be deemed in default by reason of
withholding payment while any Prime Contractor default remains uncured.
(b) The Prime Contractor shall promptly pay each Subcontractor, upon receipt of payment
from the Owner, out of the amount paid to the Prime Contractor on account of each
Subcontractor's portion of the Work, the amount to which said Subcontractor is entitled,
reflecting percentages actually retained from payments to the Prime Contractor on account
of such Subcontractors portion of the Work The Prime Contractor shall, by appropriate
agreement with each Subcontractor, require each Subcontractor to make payments to Sub-
subcontractors in similar manner.
(c) The Architect/Engineer will, on request, furnish to a Subcontractor, if practicable,
information regarding percentages of completion or amounts applied for by the Prime
Contractor and action taken thereon by the Architect/Engineer and the Owner on account
of portions of the Work done by such Subcontractor.
(d) Neither the Owner nor the Architect/Engineer shall have an obligation to pay or to see to
the payment of money to a Subcontractor except as may otherwise be required by law. That
obligation belongs to the Prime Contractor or, in the event of the Prime Contractor's failure
to pay a Subcontractor, to the Surety on the Payment Bond as required under Paragraph
113.
(e) Payment to material suppliers shall be treated in a manner similar to that provided in
Subparagraphs 9.6(b), (c), and (d).
(f) A Certificate for Payment, a progress payment, or partial or entire use or occupancy of the

Owner agrees to accept separately, is Substantially Complete, the Prime Contractor shall
prepare and submit to the Architect/Engineer a comprehensive list of remaining items to
be completed or corrected. The Prime Contractor shall proceed promptly to complete and
correct items on the list (hereinafter called the "punch list"). Failure to include an item on
the punch list does not alter the responsibility of the Prime Contractor to complete all Work
in accordance with the Contract Documents. Upon receipt of the punch list, the
Architect/Engineer will make an inspection to determine whether the Work, or designated
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
portion of the Work, is Substantially Complete. If the Architect/Engineer's inspection
discloses any item, whether or not included on the punch list, which is not in accordance
with the requirements of the Contract Documents and which renders the Work inspected
not Substantially Complete the Contractor shall, before issuance of the Certificate of
Substantial Completion, complete or correct the item upon notification by the
Architect/Engineer. The Prime Contractor shall then submit a request for another
inspection by the Architect/Engineer to determine Substantial Completion. When the Work
or designated portion of the Work is Substantially Complete, the Architect/Engineer will
prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion which shall establish the date of Substantial
Completion, shall establish responsibilities of the Owner and the Prime Contractor for
security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and shall fix the
time within which the Prime Contractor shall finish all items on the punch list
accompanying the Certificate.

application by the Prime Contractor and certification by the Architect/Engineer, the Owner
shall make payment, reflecting adjustment in retainage, if any, for the Work, or portion of
the Work, as provided in the Contract Documents.
9.8 PARTIAL OCCUPANCY OR USE
(a) The Owner may occupy or use any completed or partially completed portion of the Work
at any stage when such portion is designated by separate Supplemental Agreement with
the Prime Contractor, provided such occupancy or use is consented to by the insurer as
required under Subparagraph 11.2(e) and authorized by public authorities having
jurisdiction over the Work Such partial occupancy or use may commence whether or not
the portion is Substantially Complete, provided the Owner and Prime Contractor have
accepted in writing the responsibilities assigned to each of them for payments, retainage if
any, security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and have
agreed in writing concerning the period for correction of the Work and commencement of
warranties required by the Contract Documents. When the Prime Contractor considers a
portion Substantially Complete, the Prime Contractor shall prepare and submit a list to the
Architect/Engineer as provided under Subparagraph 9.7(b). Consent of the Prime
Contractor to partial occupancy or use shall not be unreasonably withheld. The stage of the
progress of the Work shall be determined by written agreement between the Owner and
Prime Contractor or, if no agreement is reached, by decision of the Architect/Engineer.
(b) Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner, Prime Contractor, and
Architect/Engineer shall jointly inspect the area to be occupied or portion of the Work to
be used in order to determine and record the condition of the Work.
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
(c) Unless otherwise agreed upon, partial occupancy or use of a portion or portions of the Work
shall not constitute acceptance of Work not complying with the requirements of the
Contract Documents.
9.9 FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT
(a) Upon receipt of written notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance
and upon receipt of a final Application for Payment, the Architect/Engineer, accompanied
by the Owner's representative, will promptly make final inspection and, when the
Architect/Engineer finds the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and the
Contract Documents fully performed, the Architect/Engineer will promptly issue a final
Certificate for Payment stating that to the best of the Architect/Engineer's knowledge,
information and belief, and on the basis of the Architect/Engineer's observations and
inspections, the Work has been completed in accordance with terms and conditions of the
Contract Documents and that the entire balance found to be due the Prime Contractor and
noted in said final Certificate is due and payable. The Architect/Engineer's final Certificate
for Payment will constitute a further representation that conditions listed in Subparagraph
9.9(b) as a condition precedent to the Prime Contractor's being entitled to final payment
have been fulfilled. Owner will normally make final payment within thirty (30) days after
Owner's receipt and approval of the final Certificate for Payment. Warranties required by
the Contract Documents shall commence on the date of Substantial Completion of the
Work, unless otherwise provided by separate agreement between the Owner and the Prime
Contractor.
(b) Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage shall become due until the
Prime Contractor submits to the Architect/Engineer:
(1) an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness
connected with the Work for which the Owner or the Owner's property might be
responsible or encumbered (less amounts withheld by Owner) have been paid or
otherwise satisfied;
(2) a certificate evidencing that insurance required by the Contract Documents to remain
in force after final payment is currently in effect and will not be cancelled or allowed
to expire until at least thirty (30) days prior written notice has been given to the Owner;
(3) a written statement that the Prime Contractor knows of no substantial reason that the
insurance will not be renewable to cover the period required by the Contract
Documents;
(4) a consent of surety to final payment; and
(5) if required by the Owner, other data establishing payment or satisfaction of obligations,
such as receipts, releases and waivers of liens, claims, security interests or
encumbrances arising out of the Contract, to the extent and in such form as may be
designated by the Owner.

Contractor's affidavit under Clause (b)(1) shall state that the Prime Contractor has paid
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
each of his subcontractors, laborers or materialmen in full for all labor and materials
provided to Contractor for the Work performed under this Contract. In the event the Prime
Contractor has not paid each of his subcontractors, laborers or materialmen in full, the
Prime Contractor shall state in the affidavit the amount owed and the name of each
subcontractor, laborer or materialmen to whom such payment is owed. IN ANY EVENT,
THE PRIME CONTRACTOR SHALL BE REQUIIZED TO EXECUTE THE OWNER'S
STANDARD AFFIDAVIT OF FINAL PAYMENT AND RELEASE AS A
PRECONDITION TO RECEIl'T OF FINAL PAYMENT.
(d) If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, final completion of the Work is materially
delayed through no fault of the Prime Contractor or by issuance of Change Orders affecting
final completion and the Architect/Engineer confirms the delay, the Owner shall, upon
application by the Prime Contractor and certification by the Architect/Engineer, and
without terminating the Contract, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the
Work fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance for Work not fully completed
or corrected is less than retainage stipulated in the Contract Documents, and if bonds have
been furnished, the written consent of surety to payment of the balance due for that portion
of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by the Contractor to the
Architect/Engineer prior to certification of payment. Payment shall be made under terms
and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of
claims.
(e) The acceptance by the Prime Contractor of the final payment shall operate as and
shall be a complete release of the Owner from all claims or liabilities under the
Contract, for anything done or furnished or relating to the Work or the Project, or
for any act or neglect of the Owner relating to or connected with the Work or the
Project.

11.4 POLICY ENDORSEMENTS AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Prime Contractors shall refer to the requirements listed within the solicitation document and
resulting contract for all City of Denton insurance requirements. Should a conflict arise
between the solicitation document and the resulting contract, the requirements set forth in the

11.5 PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BONDS
(a) Subject to the provisions of Subparagraph 11.5(b), the Prime Contractor shall, with the
execution and delivery of the Construction Services Agreement, furnish and file with the
Owner in the amounts required in this Paragraph, the surety bonds described in Clauses
(a)(1) and (a)(2) below, which surety bonds shall be in accordance with the Charter of the
City of Denton and the provisions of Chapter 2253, Texas Government Code, as amended;
each bond shall be signed by the Prime Contractor, as Principal, and by an established
bonding company, as surety, meeting the requirements of Subparagraph 11.5(c) and
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
approved by the Owner. The surety bonds shall be accompanied by an appropriate Power-
of-Attorney clearly establishing the extent and limitations of the authority of each signer
to so sign:
(1) Performance Bond. A good and sufficient bond in an amount equal to 100% of the
total Contract Sum, guaranteeing the full and faithful execution of the Work and
performance of the Contract in accordance with Plans, Specifications and all other
Contract Documents, including any Amendments thereof, for the protection of the
Owner. This bond shall also provide for the repair and maintenance of all defects due
to faulty materials and workmanship that appear within a period of two (2) years from
the date of final completion and acceptance of the improvements by the Owner or lesser
or longer periods as may be otherwise designated in the Contract Documents.
(2) Payment Bond. A good and sufficient bond in an amount equal to 100% of the total
Contract Sum, guaranteeing the full and prompt payment of all claimants supplying
labor or materials in the prosecution of the Work provided for in the Contract
Documents and any Amendments thereto, and for the use and protection of each
claimant.
(b) If the Contract Sum, including Owner-accepted alternates and allowances, if any, is greater
than $50,000, Payment bonds in 100% of the Contract Sum are mandatory and shall be
required to be provided by the Contractor. If the Contract Sum is greater than $100,000, a
Payment Bond and Performance Bond in 100% of the Contract amount is mandatory.
(c) No surety will be accepted by the Owner who is now in default or delinquent on any bonds
or who is a party to any litigation against the Owner. All bonds shall be made and executed
on the Owner's standard forms, shall be approved by the Owner, and shall be executed by
not less than one corporate surety that is authorized and admitted to do business in the State
of Texas, is licensed by the State of Texas to issue surety bonds, is listed in the most current
United States Department of the Treasury List of Acceptable Sureties, and is otherwise
acceptable to the Owner. Each bond shall be executed by the Prime Contractor and the
surety, and shall specify that legal venue for enforcement of each bond shall lie exclusively
in Denton County, Texas. Each surety shall designate an agent resident in Denton County,
Texas to whom any requisite statutory notices may be delivered and on whom service of
process may be had in matters arising out of the suretyship.
(d)
Contractor will be required to furnish original performance and payment bonds for 100
percent of the total submission price before work is to commence. The Contractor shall
assume all costs in increasing the bond limits if change orders are formally approved.
Bonds shall be in accordance with the V.T.C.A Government Code Section 2253.021, as
amended, from a surety licensed to do business in the State of Texas. The City, at its
option, may waive the payment and performance bond requirements for projects of less
than $50,000.
Bond forms are attached and shall be returned upon notice of contract award by the City. Bonds
should be forwarded to the City of Denton within fourteen (14) calendar days from contract
award. This contract is not fully executed until payment and performance bonds are received
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
and accepted by the City. Upon approval, a purchase order will be issued.
(e) The failure of the Contractor to deliver the required statutory bonds and evidence of
insurance within fourteen (14) calendar days after the Contract is awarded shall constitute
a material breach of the Prime Contractor's bid proposal and the Owner may rescind the
Contract award and collect or retain the proceeds of the bid security. By reason of the
uncertainty of the market prices or materials and labor, and it being impracticable and
difficult to determine accurately the amount of damages occurring to the Owner by reason
of the Prime Contractor's failure to execute and furnish the statutory bonds within fourteen
(14) calendar days, the filing of a bid proposal with the accompanying bid security will be
considered as an acceptance of this Subparagraph 11.5(e). In the event the Owner should
re-advertise for bids, the defaulting Prime Contractor shall not be eligible to bid, and the
lowest responsible bid obtained in the re-advertisement shall be the bid referred to in this
Paragraph.
ARTICLE 12 DEFECTIVE AND NONCONFORMING WORK
121 UNCOVERING OF WORK
(a) If a portion of the Work is covered contrary to the Architect/Engineer's request or to
requirements specifically expressed in the Contract Documents, the Work must, if
required in writing by the Architect/Engineer, be uncovered for the Architect/Engineer's
observation and be replaced at the Prime Contractor's expense without change in the
Contract Time.
(b) If a portion of the Work has been covered which the Architect/Engineer has not
specifically requested to observe prior to it being covered, the Architect/Engineer may
request to see such Work and it shall be uncovered by the Prime Contractor. If such Work
is in accordance with the Contract Documents, costs of uncovering and replacement shall,
by appropriate Change Order, be charged to the Owner. If any Work is not in accordance
with the Contract Documents, the Prime Contractor shall pay the costs of uncovering,
repair, replacement unless the condition was caused by the Owner or a separate contractor
in which event the Owner shall be responsible for payment of such costs.
12.2 CORRECTION OF WORK
(a) The Prime Contractor shall promptly correct Work rejected by the Architect/Engineer as
failing to conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents, whether observed
before or after Substantial Completion and whether or not fabricated, installed or
completed. The Prime Contractor shall bear costs of correcting such rejected Work,
including additional testing and inspections and compensation for the
Architect/Engineer's services and expenses made necessary thereby.
(b) If any of the Work is found to be defective or nonconforming with the requirements of
the Contract Documents, the Prime Contractor shall correct it promptly after receipt of
written notice from the Architect/Engineer or the Owner to do so unless the Owner has
previously given the Prime Contractor a written acceptance or waiver of the defect or
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
nonconformity. The Prime Contractor's obligation to correct defective or nonconforming
Work remains in effect for:
(1) one year after the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion
of the Work;
(2) one year after the date for commencement of warranties established by agreement in
connection with partial occupancy under Subparagraph 9.8(a); or
(3) the stipulated duration of any applicable special warranty required by the Contract
Documents.
(c) The one-year period described in Clauses (b)(1) and (b)(2) shall be extended with respect
to portions of the Work performed, repaired, or corrected after Substantial Completion
by the period of time between Substantial Completion and the actual completion of the
Work.
(d) The obligations of the Prime Contractor under this Paragraph 12.2 shall survive final
acceptance of the Work and termination of this Contract. The Owner shall give notice to
the Prime Contractor promptly after discovery of a defective or nonconforming condition
in the Work The one-year period stated in Clauses (b)(1) and (b)(2) does not limit the
ability of the Owner to require the Prime Contractor to correct latent defects or
nonconformities in the Work, which defects or nonconformities could not have been
discovered through reasonable diligence by the Owner or the Architect/Engineer at the
time the Work was performed or at the time of inspection for certification of Substantial
Completion or Final Completion. The one year period also does not relieve the Prime
Contractor from liability for any defects or deficiencies in the Work that may be
discovered after the expiration of the one year correction period.
(e) The Prime Contractor shall remove from the Project site portions of the Work which are
not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents and are neither
corrected by the Prime Contractor nor accepted by the Owner.
(f) If the Prime Contractor fails to correct defective or nonconforming Work within a
reasonable time after notice from the Owner or the Architect/Engineer, the Owner may
correct it in accordance with Paragraph 2.4. If the Prime Contractor does not proceed
with correction of defective or nonconforming Work within a reasonable time fixed by
written notice from the Architect/Engineer, the Owner may remove or replace the
defective or nonconforming Work and store the salvageable materials or equipment at
the Prime Contractor's expense. If the Prime Contractor does not pay costs of removal
and storage within ten days after written notice, the Owner may, upon ten (10) additional
days written notice, sell the materials and equipment at auction or at private sale and shall
account for the proceeds after deducting costs and damages that should have been borne
by the Prime Contractor, including compensation for the Architect/Engineer's services
and expenses made necessary as a result of the sale. If the proceeds of sale do not cover
costs which the Prime Contractor should have borne, the Contract Sum shall be reduced
by the deficiency. If payments due to the Prime Contractor then or thereafter are not
sufficient to cover the deficiency, the Prime Contractor shall pay the difference to the
Owner.
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
(g) The Prime Contractor shall bear the cost of correcting destroyed or damaged construction
of the Owner or separate contractors, whether the construction is completed or partially
completed, that is caused by the Prime Contractor's correction or removal of Work which
is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
(h) Nothing contained in this Paragraph 122 shall be construed to establish a period of
limitation with respect to other obligations which the Prime Contractor might have under
the Contract Documents. Establishment of the one-year time period as described in
Subparagraph 122(b) relates only to the specific obligation of the Prime Contractor to
correct the Work, and has no relationship to the time within which the obligation to
comply with the Contract Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time
within which proceedings may be commenced to establish the Prime Contractor's
liability with respect to the Prime Contractor's obligations other than specifically to
correct the Work.
(i) Any Work repaired or replaced pursuant to this Article 12 shall be subject to the
provisions of Article 12 to the same extent as Work originally performed or installed.
12.3 ACCEPTANCE OF NONCONFORMING WORK
The Owner may, in the Owner's sole discretion, accept Work which is not in accordance with
the requirements of the Contract Documents instead of requiring its removal and correction,
in which case the Contract Sum will be reduced as appropriate and equitable. The adjustment
will be accomplished whether or not final payment has been made.
ARTICLE 13 COMPLETION OF THE CONTRACT; TERMINATION; TEMPORARY
SUSPENSION
131 FINAL COMPLETION OF CONTRACT
The Contract will be considered completed, except as provided in any warranty or
maintenance stipulations, bond, or by law, when all the Work has been finally completed, the
final inspection is made by the Architect/Engineer, and final acceptance and final payment is
made by the Owner.
13.2 WARRANTY FULFILLMENT
Prior to the expiration of the specified warranty period provided for in the Contract
Documents, the Architect/Engineer will make a detailed inspection of the Work and will
advise the Prime Contractor and the Prime Contractor's Surety of the items that require
correction. The Architect/Engineer will make a subsequent inspection and if the corrections
have been properly performed, the Architect/Engineer will issue a letter of release on the
maintenance stipulations to the Prime Contractor and the Surety. If for any reason the Prime
Contractor has not made the required corrections before the expiration of the warranty period,
the warranty provisions as provided for in the Contract Documents shall remain in effect until
the corrections have been properly performed and a letter of release issued.
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
13.3 TERMINATION BY THE OWNER FOR CAUSE
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of these General Conditions, the Work or any
portion of the Work may be terminated immediately by the Owner for any good cause
after giving seven (7) days advance written notice and opportunity to cure to the Prime
Contractor, including but not limited to the following causes:
(1) Failure or refusal of the Prime Contractor to start the Work within ten (10) days after
the date of written notice by the Owner to commence the Work.
(2) A reasonable belief that the progress of the Work being made by the Prime
Contractor is insufficient to complete the Work within the specified time.
(3) Failure or refusal of the Prime Contractor to provide sufficient and proper equipment
or construction forces to properly execute the Work in a timely manner.
(4) A reasonable belief that the Prime Contractor has abandoned the Work.
(5) A reasonable belief that the Contractor has become insolvent, bankrupt, or otherwise
financially unable to carry on the Work.
(6) Failure or refusal on the part of the Contractor to observe any requirements of the
Contract Documents or to comply with any written orders given by the
Architect/Engineer or the Owner as provided for in the Contract Documents.
(7) Failure or refusal of the Prime Contractor to promptly make good any defects in
materials or workmanship, or any defects of any nature, the correction of which has
been directed in writing by the Architect/Engineer.
(8) A reasonable belief by the Owner that collusion exists or has occurred for the
purpose of illegally procuring the Contract or a Subcontractor, or that a fraud is being
perpetrated on the Owner in connection with the construction of Work under the
Contract.
(9) Repeated and flagrant violation of safe working procedures.
(10) The filing by the Prime Contractor of litigation against the Owner prior to
completion of the Work.
(b) When the Work or any portion of the Work is terminated for any of the causes itemized
above or for any other cause except termination for convenience pursuant to
Subparagraph 133(e), the Prime Contractor shall, as of the date specified by the Owner,
discontinue the Work or portion of the Work as the Owner shall designate, whereupon
the surety shall, within fifteen (15) days after the written notice of termination for cause
has been served upon the Prime Contractor and the surety or its authorized agents,
assume the obligations of the Prime Contractor for the Work or that portion of the Work
which the Owner has ordered the Prime Contractor to discontinue and may:
(1) perform the Work with forces employed by the surety;
(2) with the written consent of the Owner, tender a replacement contractor to take over
and perform the Work, in which event the surety shall be responsible for and pay the
amount of any costs required to be incurred for the completion of the Work that are
in excess of the amount of funds remaining under the Contract as of the time of the
termination; or
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
(3) with the written consent of the Owner, tender and pay to the Owner in settlement the
amount of money necessary to finish the balance of uncompleted Work under the
Contract, correct existing defective or nonconforming Work, and compensate the
Owner for any other loss sustained as a result of Prime Contractor's default.
In the event of termination for cause involving Clause (b)(1) or (b)(2), the Surety
shall assume the Prime Contractor's place in all respects, and the amount of funds
remaining unpaid under the Contract shall be paid by the Owner for all Work
performed by the surety or the replacement contractor in accordance with the terms
of the Contract Documents, subject to any rights of the Owner to deduct any costs,
damages, or actual damages that the Owner may have incurred, including but not
limited to additional fees and expenses of the Architect/Engineer and attorneys fees,
as a result of such termination.
(c) The balance of the Contract Sum remaining at the time of the Prime Contractor's default
and of the termination shall become due and payable to the surety as the Work
progresses, subject to all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of the Contract
Documents. If the surety does not, within the time specified in Subparagraph 133(b),
exercise its obligation to assume the obligations of the Contract, or that portion of the
Contract which the Owner has ordered the Prime Contractor to discontinue, then the
Owner shall have the power to complete the Work by contract or otherwise, as it may
deem necessary. The Prime Contractor agrees that the Owner shall have the right to take
possession of or use any or all of the materials, plant, tools, equipment, supplies, and
property of every kind provided by the Prime Contractor for the purpose of the Work,
and to procure other tools, equipment, labor, and materials for the completion of the
Work, and to charge to the account of the Prime Contractor the expenses of completion
and labor, materials, tools, equipment, and incidental expenses. The expenses incurred
by the Owner to complete the Work shall be deducted by the Owner out of the balance
of the Contract Sum remaining unpaid to or unearned by the Contractor. The Prime
Contractor and the surety shall be liable to the Owner for any costs incurred in excess
of the balance of the Contract Sum for the completion and correction of the Work, and
for any other costs, damages, expenses (including but not limited to additional fees of
the Architect/Engineer and attorney's fees), and damages incurred as a result of the
termination.
(d) The Owner shall not be required to obtain the lowest bid for the Work of completing the
Contract as described in Subparagraph 13.3(c), but the expenses to be deducted from
the Contract Sum shall be the actual cost of such Work In case the Owner's expense is
less than the sum which would have been payable under the Contract, if the same had
been completed by the Prime Contractor, then the Owner may pay to the Prime
Contractor (or the Surety, in the event of a complete termination for cause) the difference
in the cost, provided that the Prime Contractor (or the Surety) shall not be entitled to any
claim for damages or for loss of anticipated profits. In case such expenses for completion
shall exceed the amount which would have been payable under the Contract if the same
had been completed by the Prime Contractor, then the Prime Contractor and his Sureties
shall pay the amount of the excess to the Owner on notice from the Owner for excess
due. When only a particular part of the Work is being carried on by the Owner by
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
contract or otherwise under the provisions of this Subparagraph, the Prime Contractor
shall continue the remainder of the Work in conformity with the terms of the Contract,
and in such manner as not to hinder or interfere with the performance of workmen
employed and provided by the Owner.
(e) The unconditional right to terminate this Contract for the convenience of the Owner
(including but not limited to non-appropriation of funding) is expressly retained by the
Owner. In the event of termination for convenience, the Owner shall deliver at least ten
(10) days advance written notice of termination for convenience to the Prime Contractor.
Upon the Prime Contractor's receipt of such written notice, the Prime Contractor shall
cease the performance of the Work and shall take reasonable and appropriate action to
secure and protect the Work in place. The Prime Contractor shall then be reimbursed by
the Owner in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Contract Documents, not
to exceed actual labor costs incurred, materials stored at the Project site or away from
the Project site as approved by the Owner but not yet paid for, plus actual, reasonable,
and documented termination charges, if any, paid by the Prime Contractor in connection
with the Work in place which is completed and in conformance with the Contract
Documents to the date of termination for convenience. No amount shall ever be due to
the Prime Contractor for lost or anticipated profits.
13.4 TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF THE WORK
(a) The Work or any portion of the Work may be temporarily suspended by the Owner
immediately upon written notice to the Prime Contractor for any reason, including but
not limited to:
(1) the causes described in Clauses 131(a)(1) through (a)(10) above;
(2) where other provisions in the Contract Documents require or permit temporary
suspension of the Work;
(3) situations where the Work is threatened by, contributes to, or causes an immediate
threat to public health, safety, or security; or
(4) other unforeseen conditions or circumstances.
(b) The Prime Contractor shall immediately resume the temporarily suspended Work when
ordered in writing by the Owner to do so. The Owner shall not under any circumstances
be liable for any claim of the Prime Contractor arising from a temporary suspension due
to a cause described in Clause (a)(1) above; provided, however, that in the case of a
temporary suspension for any of the reasons described under Clauses (a)(2) through
(a)(4), where the Prime Contractor is not a contributing cause of the suspension under
one of those Clauses or where the provision of the Contract Documents in question
specifically provides that the suspension is at no cost to the Owner, the Owner will make
an equitable adjustment for the following items, provided that a claim is properly made
by the Prime Contractor under Subparagraph 43 of these General Conditions:
(1) an equitable extension of the Contract Time, not to exceed the actual delay caused
by the temporary suspension as determined by the Architect/Engineer and the
Owner;
DocuSign Envelope ID: E3DFODFB-3A3E-42F2-BDE3-9295A3B1 BE99
(2) an equitable adjustment to the Contract Sum for the actual, necessary, and
reasonable costs of properly protecting any Work that is finished or partially
finished during the period of the temporary suspension (no profit and overhead shall
be allowed on top of these costs); and
(3) if it becomes necessary to move equipment from the Project site and then return it
to the Project site when the Work is ordered to be resumed, an equitable adjustment
to the Contract Sum for the actual, necessary, and reasonable cost of these moves;
provided, however, that no adjustment shall be due if the equipment is moved to
another Project site of the Owner.

speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically

electronically to you through your pocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.

Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, a Texas home-rule municipal
corporation, authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract for the supply of Distribution Gang
Operated Air Break ("GOAB") Switches for Denton Municipal Electric to be stocked in the City of
Denton Distribution Center; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective
date (RFP 6623-awarded to Techline, Inc., in the three (3) year not-to-exceed amount of $166,000).
FILE INFORMATION
Distribution Gang Operated Air Break (GOAB) Switches are used by Denton Municipal Electric (DME),
and are an essential part of the distribution system that allow isolation and reconfiguration of the circuits.
Without the purchase or GOAB switches, DME cannot construct, operate, nor maintain overhead three-
phase electric facilities or provide electric service to new overhead and underground customers.
The items are stocked by the Distribution Center and used as needed. As these commodities are "common
stock items" in the Distribution Center working capital inventory under City of Denton General
Government, they are not reviewed by the Public Utilities Board. The Distribution Center orders goods in
coordination with DME for specific projects under construction. The items are temporarily stored in the
Distribution Center until they are needed on the jobsite and then transferred to DME through an inventory
management system. The items are ordered as needed, taking into account the contracted lead time and the
need by date by the using department. The need by date is established by ensuring that citizen, customer,
and developer timelines all form the basis of when the construction work must be complete by with an
operational City of Denton service; furthermore, it factors in City of Denton construction crew schedules
and construction sequencing with job site contractors.
Requests for Proposals were sent to 296 prospective suppliers of this item. In addition, specifications were
placed on the Materials Management website for prospective suppliers to download and advertised in the
local newspaper. Three (3) proposals were received, and evaluated based upon published criteria including
delivery, compliance with specifications, and price. Based upon this evaluation, Techline, Inc. was ranked
the highest and determined to be the best value for the City.
RECOMMENDATION
Award a contract with Techline, Inc. for Distribution Gang Operated Air Break (GOAB) Switches in a three
(3) year not-to-exceed amount of $166,000.
PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS
Techline, Inc.
Fort Worth, Texas
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
This is an initial one (1) year contract with options to extend the contract for two (2) additional one (1) year
periods, with all terms and conditions remaining the same.
FISCAL INFORMATION
The items in this RFP will be funded out of the Distribution Center Working Capital account and charged
back to the using department. The costs for material purchased under the proposed agreement will be
funded out of amounts budgeted for specific projects.
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The City of Denton's Strategic Plan is an action-oriented road map that will help the City achieve its vision.
The foundation for the plan is the five long-term Key Focus Areas (KFA): Organizational Excellence;
Public Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and Family-Friendly Community; and
Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support multiple KFAs, this
specific City Council agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and goal:

From time to time, City of Denton (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your pocuSign, Inc.

and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of
this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your pocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a$0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the

paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your

or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically

electronically to you through your pocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.

Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract for Veterinary Services for the Linda McNatt Animal
Care and Adoption Center with RSVP Services, Inc.; providing for the expenditure of funds therefore; and
providing an effective date (RFP 6624 awarded to RSVP Services, Inc. in the four (4) year not-to-exceed
amount of $1,180,000).
BACKGROUND
The Linda McNatt Animal Care and Adoption Center has been open since February 2015. The 15,000
square foot building includes a veterinary surgical suite for neutering procedures and general medical care
for animals housed in the facility. This contract provides staffing for the veterinary suite, and manages
personnel aspects of a licensed Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and a Certified Veterinary
Technician for a specific number of hours/shifts each week at the facility. In addition, this contract also
provides unscheduled urgent care for animals coming into the facility outside of regular business hours and
during hours when the in-house DVM is not on site. The City has previously contracted with RSVP
Services, Inc. for veterinary services; with a three year contract total of $950,000. The City expended all
the funds approved for the contract and issued a solicitation for continued services.
Request for Proposals (RFP) were sent to nineteen (19) prospective respondents for the services. In
addition, the scope of work was placed on the Materials Management website for prospective respondents
to download and advertised in the local newspaper. Due to the specialized services, only one qualified
response was received. The proposal was evaluated based upon published criteria including price, schedule,
compliance with specifications, and indicators of probable performance. RSVP Services, Inc., remains the
top candidate, and the City would like to continue this partnership for serving our community through the
animal shelter programs.
RECOMMENDATION
Award to RSVP Services Inc. for the provision and management of veterinary services for the Linda McNatt
Animal Care and Adoption Center in the four (4) year not-to-exceed amount of $1,180,000.
PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS
RSVP Services, Inc.
Denton, TX
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
This is an initial one (1) year contract with options to extend the contract for three (3 ) additional one (1)
year periods, with all terms and conditions remaining the same.
FISCAL INFORMATION
The services covered in this contract will be funded from Animal Services operating account #340001.7899.
OR# 137735 has been entered to pay for services for the remainder of the current fiscal year. The approved
budget for the identified operating account this fiscal year 17-18 is $332,816.
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The City of Denton's Strategic Plan is an action-oriented road map that will help the City achieve its vision.
The foundation for the plan is the five long-term Key Focus Areas (KFA): Organizational Excellence;
Public Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and Family-Friendly Community; and
Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support multiple KFAs, this
specific City Council agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and goal:

criminal penalties, civil penalties, or other civil actions.

cw-rently also m Flarida and Georgia. We have assisted several Texas cities open new sheiters, by
providing doctors and staff not only with the appropriate experience and skills necessary for the
shelter to operate, but also a willingness to fornllilate policies and protocols for Yhe shelter gou�g
forward. All of our docYors are Independent Conn•actors, with current licenses and certificat�es as
required to practice in the state oi Texas. Additionally, RSVP can provide an ni-house doctor(s) with
Yhe practice experience for shelter medicine ihrough oiu• screening processes. We l�ave the depth of
resourees to prc�vide multiple doctors and teehnicians for coverage ui the event the regular in-I�ouse
doetor and technicians need to take days off, Our provider far the ER veterinary servic�s during
business hours, is the same provider the City of Denton has been using for veterinary services for

+ Off site veterulary services. RS�P conducted thc search that attained agreeme�lts with tlic 2
offsite clinics to enter into arrangeineuts to offer discounted services ta tlie City for
speciaUemergency care.
• Clear del�7eaYion of el�e VeYerinary Services luiiits the City's liabilities and exposure for
veterinary related events
• HR expenses are managcd b,y RSVP and its respective hires (Payroll taxes, liability insw-ance,
healtl� benefits, professional licerises, reqtirirEd corztinuing education, ete).
+ Comparative market fees for contracted veterinarians warking shifts in shelters would r•un
$700 per day. 'These contracted individuals anly perform tl�eir reqtzired diagnostic/surgical tasks
and wauld nc�t be available on their non-workitlg days as occurs in the current sittzation.
• Consistency of care and services is perhaps onc of the st�•ongest consideraiions to t�are in
n�ind. RSVP, as a veterinary staffing a�ency, has tremendous depth of qualified veterinarians
and staff to be able to tnaintau� 100% consistency of coverage %r the shelter. With over 225
vets and techs working tlu•oug11 this agency in Texas alone, RSVP can quickly respond to an
acute vacancy or termination. It could take the ciry months to replace a veterinarian or key
staff inember in this same situation. RSVP covers the City with no gaps.
• We hire goc�d people and hold them acc�untable. We communicate with the staff and Dr.
Munsell on a regtilar basis and Dr. C'n-ant sits down with Dr. Munsell every moi�th or two (or
rnore often as needed), to discuss al] aspects of the service, both medical and adrninistrative.
• RSVP has worked with th�; veteruiary tearn ta provide both policy man�ials and employce
rnanuals, not to mention numerous policies within tl�e veterinary departiYYent. Before the shelter
opened, RSVP provided coru7ections to experts in shelter medieine to recomrnend
inventary/ec�uipmerlt and irisight into industry standards and protacc�ls.
• The City is not just gettin� Dz•. Munsell's expertise, but also Dr. David Gra�nt's. Dz�. Grant
brings 30 years oi veterulary experience and is considered nn expert on various issues
shelter's face, u�cluding humane euthanasia. He 11as spoken across the cotultry for the HSiJS
and has authored chapters in many shelter books and publications. He helps with conflict
resolution and is an additional doctor for consultation on sensitive/medical issues.
* RSVP is the largest staffing agericy iri the veterinary profession. It is uniquely bene�cial to
Denton that we ar� located here in Denton Texas. RSVP has 26 years of experience filling
over 150,000 shifts. We also cover shelter services for other municipalities. We know what the
needs are and how to fill them.
• The City of Denton gai�is Peace of Mind witli RSVP. If something doesn't go right, we are
there solving the issue often the very same day.
• Strong relationships with the veterinary comrnunity. RSVP warks with over 400 hospitals iri
Texas. This helped fost�r the shzltar's service relationships far emergency services a.nd can
play a very valuable role in ilaaintaining a strong relationship with the Denton Veteruiary
c ommunity.
• RSVP's teclu7icians Tara and Alexis were hand selectcd for Denton and reflect the quality of
our peoplz, and the expertise of our inatching services. Both techs are hard workers, with Tara
even teaching classes and enrichiTr�nt opporTunities to non-rnedical shelter einployees.

To Whom It May Concern,
i have volunteered with Legacy Boxer Rescue nearly ten years. Many of those years have been spent on
the Management Committee and I am currently the Head of the Veterinary Services Committee. Dr
Cassie Epstein is one of the finest veterinarians Legacy Boxer Rescue has had taking care of our boxers.
With over 100 boxers in our care at all times over the last several years, it is not uncommon for a foster
dog to become ill or injured during the business day. When that happens, I know I can count on Dr
Epstein to make room in her schedule to see that dog as soon as the foster home can get him/her to her
office. Shelters often contact Legacy Boxer Rescue when they have boxers who are sick or injured. They
want the dog out of their facility and under veterinary care as soon as possible. Again, i know I can count
on Dr Epstein to see those dogs as soon as we can get them to her office.
At Legacy Boxer Rescue, all medical/treatment decisions are made by our Veterinary Services
Committee, not our foster parents. Dr Epstein maintains excellent communication with me on all dogs in
her care, making sure I understand the needs of the dog and associated costs. Additionally, Dr Epstein
spends extra time personally calling the foster parent to educate them about the diagnosis and
treatment plan for their foster dog.
Finally, Dr Epstein has demonstrated superior diagnostic skilis. In working with our foster boxers, she
has, on multiple occasions, correctly diagnosed ailments we had never seen in our experience at Legacy
Boxer ftescue. Dr Epstein has also successfully diagnosed conditions other veterinarians were unable to
diagnose. We trust her with the care of our foster dogs and I personally trust her with the care of my
own dogs.
Sincerely,
Reg Morgan

Denton, TX 76210
To whom it may concern:
As the President and Chair of Animal Welfare for Texas Sporting Breed Rescue, Inc.,
my role oversees both the fiduciary aspects, as well as the veterinary care, of all
animals in our program. We represent all 28 of the AKC Sporting Group and our dogs
come to us from shelters across Texas, and its neighboring states, from abuse and
neglect cases, from owner relinquishments, and through medical releases due to
traumatic injuries or critical ilinesses such as; hit by car, orthopedic injuries,
snakebites, poisoning, and other critical care situations.
Scott Kimball During the course of the past 5+ years, I have had the opportunity and pleasure to
Treasurer both engage Dr. Epstein and her hos y
treasurera(7retrieveafriend ora pital for extensive veterinar services on behalf
of our organization, as well as personally observe Dr. Epstein and her staff during
Brooke Rossen daily operations and interactions with clients. I have also interacted with her team
DirectorofAdoptions throughout a multitude of emergency and critical care situations.
6rookeC�retrieveafreind orq
A few such cases that presented within the past 12 months include; a Labrador hit by
car, a Labrador puppy at the shelter with a fractured leg, a 6-week old Pointer puppy
with an intussusception requiring emergency lifesaving surgery, a senior German
Shorthaired Pointer at a shelter with a rattle snake bite, a mama dog experiencing
toxic shock syndrome, and a senior Labrador in acute renal failure and respiratory
collapse. These cases were all unscheduled, unforeseen emergencies, most direct
from shelter situations, and all requiring immediate emergent care. All of these dogs
survived because of the rapid, quality care they received by Dr. Epstein and her
team.
Dr. Epstein and her team are compassionate and passionate about what they do,
and have proven repeatedly that they are dedicated to the welfare of our shelter
animals, including those emergencies that require juggling cases, and rapid
responses. In addition to the quality of care, they excel at communicating with us as
the client, being accurate with their invoicing, and collaborating with us to ensure the
well-being of our animals in their care.
Based on our experience with their services, we regularly recommend this hospital
and Dr. Epstein to our adopters and to other organizations and it is without any
reservations whatsoever that I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Epstein to your
organization as well. Should you wish to discuss our recommendation further please
do not hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Denton (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your pocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly,
and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of
this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your pocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a$0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your pocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the

Consider approval of a resolution confirming the appointment of Kenneth W. Hedges, by the City Manager,
as Fire Chief for the City of Denton Fire Department, and declaring an effective date.
BACKGROUND
Robin Paulsgrove resigned his position of Fire Chief from the City of Denton Fire Department effective
April 30, 2018; however, his last day in the office will be April 13, 2018. Chapter 143 of the Texas Local
Government Code governs municipal civil service for firefighters and police officers. Section 143.013(a)(1)
states, "Unless elected, each department head is appointed by the municipality's chief executive and
confirmed by the governing body." City Manager Todd Hileman has elected to appoint Kenneth W. Hedges
as Fire Chief effective April 14, 2018.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the City Manager's appointment of Kenneth W. Hedges as Fire Chief for the City of Denton.
Kenneth has been with the Denton Fire Department since 1996. He was promoted through the ranks and
has been Assistant Fire Chief since November of 2010. The City contracted with GovHR to conduct a
nationwide search. There were 111 applicants and six (6) candidates were interviewed.
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The City of Denton's Strategic Plan is an action-oriented road map that will help the City achieve its vision.
The foundation for the plan is the five long-term Key Focus Areas (KFA): Organizational Excellence;
Public Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and Family-Friendly Community; and
Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support multiple KFAs, this
specific City Council agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and goal:

Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a three (3) year Professional Services Agreement with Sawko and
Burroughs, P.C., for Professional Services related to collection of delinquent taxes on behalf of the City of
Denton; and establishing an effective date. (File 6770)
BACKGROUND
The City of Denton's contract for delinquent property tax collection services was originally awarded to the
law firm of Sawko & Burroughs, LLP, on July l, 2005. The City of Denton approved a new contract for
delinquent tax collection services with Sawko & Burroughs on November 4, 2008, following an extensive
Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The original contract stipulated an initial term beginning December l,
2008, and ending June 30, 2011, and it now expires in June 2016 as a result of various contract
extensions. On June 28, 2016, the City Council, following an extensive Request for Qualifications (RFQ)
process, awarded Sawko & Burroughs a two (2) year contract that is due to expire on June 30, 2018.
According to state statute, law firms receive a 20% fee for collection services associated with delinquent
property taxes. These fees are in addition to the actual amount of delinquent taxes owed and are paid by
the delinquent taxpayers, not the City of Denton. Since collection fees are established by statute, an
evaluation of potential services is limited to a review of a particular law firm's historical collection
performance, professional qualifications, and collection procedures.
On March 20, 2018, staff briefed the City Council in a work session on options related to this service.
Council directed staff to bring back a 3 year agreement with Sawko & Burroughs for their consideration in
light of the firm's past performance and good standing.
According to the contract, collections are required to be at least 60% of current year delinquencies, and
30% of all prior year delinquent amounts. City staff has independently reviewed the performance of Sawko
& Burroughs and determined that the firm has exceeded the contractual requirements. Consequently, staff
has been satisfied with the performance of the firm.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of a three (3) year contract, expiring Apri13, 2021.
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
This is a three (3) year contract, expiring April 3, 2021.

Follow-Up from March 20, 2018 Meeting
During the City Council's worlc session on March 20, 2018, there were several requests for
infor�nation regarding the City's delinquent tax collections contract. Below are the list of
requests and staff's response:
1. What is the total cumulative total of delinquent accounts?
Staff Response: As of February 28, 2018, the total cumulative total is $1,128,34295
according to the Denton County Tax Ofiice. Attached is the report reflecting this amount
by tax year. Since 2017 taxes are not delinquent until after July l, 2018, there is no
infor�nation for that tax year.
2. Could staff provide a brealcdown of delinquent accounts by dollar range?
Staff Response: The following brealcdown was provided by the City's current vendor
based on current data for all delinquent accounts through tax year 2016. The difference
from the amount in quesiion above is due to timing since vendor provided this data after
February 28, 2018.
�ase Tax Pro erties �ase Tax IJue
$0-500 1676 $174,301.02
$SOl-1,000 139 $97,807.44
$1,001-1,500 54 $66,71924
$1,501-2,000 35 $59,922.43
$2,001+ 105 $735,032.23
Total 51,133,7�2e36
OUR CORE VALUES
Integrity • Fiscal Responsibility • Transparency • Outstanding Customer Service
3. Is the City able to not send to collection accounts that have less than some specific
amount of taxes due?
Staff Response: The majority of delinquent accounts owe less than $S00 in city taxes and
as such exempting them from collection may create equity issues with other taxpayers.
Staff recommends that no accounts should be exempted from collection.
4. Could staff provide information on the City's website regarding tax collection and how to
file complaints regarding tax collection services?
Staff Response: Finance Depariment staff is currently worlcing with the City's Public
Information Ofiice to create a web page to address this request. Staff anticipates
launching the web page by Friday, April6tn

Contract for cause by the City and may result in legal action.

incurred by the Contractor in the Contract price and execute an amendment to the Contract. The
Contractor must assert its right to an adjustment within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of
receipt of the notice of delay. Failure to agree on any adjusted price shall be handled under the
Dispute Resolution process specified in paragraph 49. However, nothing in this provision shall
excuse the Contractor from delaying the delivery as notified.

this Contract if, while and to the extent such default or delay is caused by acts of God, fire, riots,
civil commotion, labor disruptions, sabotage, sovereign conduct, or any other cause beyond the
reasonable control of such Party. In the event of default or delay in contract performance due to
any of the foregoing causes, then the time for completion of the services will be extended;

A. If a dispute arises out of or relates to the Contract, or the breach thereof, the parties agree to
negotiate prior to prosecuting a suit for damages. However, this section does not prohibit the filing
of a lawsuit to toll the running of a statute of limitations or to seek injunctive relief. Either party

(14) calendar days after receipt of the request or such later period as agreed by the parties. Each
party shall include, at a minimum, one (1) senior level individual with decision-making authority

to negotiate a resolution of the dispute. If, within thirty (30) calendar days after such meeting, the
parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the dispute, they will proceed directly to
mediation as described below. Negotiation may be waived by a written agreement signed by both
parties, in which event the parties may proceed directly to mediation as described below.
B. If the efforts to resolve the dispute through negotiation fail, or the parties waive the negotiation
process, the parties may select, within thirty (30) calendar days, a mediator trained in mediation
skills to assist with resolution of the dispute. Should they choose this option; the City and the
Contractor agree to act in good faith in the selection of the mediator and to give consideration to
qualified individuals nominated to act as mediator. Nothing in the Contract prevents the parties
from relying on the skills of a person who is trained in the subj ect matter of the dispute or a contract
interpretation expert. If the parties fail to agree on a mediator within thirty (30) calendar days of
initiation of the mediation process, the mediator shall be selected by the Denton County Alternative
Dispute Resolution Program (DCAP). The parties agree to participate in mediation in good faith
for up to thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the first mediation session. The City and the

participation such as fees for any consultants or attorneys they may utilize to represent them or
otherwise assist them in the mediation.

laws of the State of Texas, including, when applicable, the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted

refer to and apply the substantive law of another state or jurisdiction. All issues arising from this
Contract shall be resolved in the courts of Denton County, Texas and the parties agree to submit

construed or interpreted to limit or restrict the right or ability of the City to seek and secure
injunctive relief from any competent authority as contemplated herein.

or provision held to be void. The parties further agree to reform the Contract to replace any stricken
provision with a valid provision that comes as close as possible to the intent of the stricken

end of the coverage period, if the coverage period shown on the current
certificate of coverage ends during the duration of the project;
5. retain all required certificates of coverage on file for the duration of the
project and for one year thereafter;

covered by workers' compensation coverage for the duration of the project,
that the coverage will be based on proper reporting of classification codes and
payroll amounts, and that all coverage agreements will be filed with the
appropriate insurance carrier or, in the case of a self-insured, with the
commission's Division of Self-Insurance Regulation. Providing false or
misleading information may subject the Contractor to administrative penalties,
criminal penalties, civil penalties, or other civil actions.

the contract void if the Contractor does not remedy the breach within ten days
after receipt of notice of breach from the governmental entity.

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Denton (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your pocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly,
and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of
this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your pocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a$0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your pocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.

Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract for a utility assistance program supporting low-income
households; providing for the expenditure of funds therefore; and providing an effective date (RFP 6669-
awarded to Interfaith Ministries of Denton Inc. in the three (3) year not-to-exceed amount of $375,000).
The Public Utilities Board recommends approval (6-0).
RFP INFORMATION
Denton Municipal Utilities' Prevent Loss of Utility Service (P.L.U. S. One) program was created in 1983 to
provide qualifying customers facing a temporary financial crisis with the funds necessary to pay their utility
bills. Since Apri1201 l, the program has been funded by a combination of customer donation and allocations
from Denton Municipal Utilities (DMU). For the past 20 years, Interfaith Ministries of Denton, Inc., has
administered the program on the City's behalf.
Since Apri1201 l, 1,357 families have received needed assistance thru the P.L.U.S One program for a total
amount of $497,818.56. The funds provided to those families have helped them reestablish themselves
following a financial crisis while ensuring that utility services are not interrupted or are restored. Utilities
Customer Service in cooperation with Community Development staff developed a set of guidelines for the
partner agency with criteria necessary to screen and evaluate applications for assistance. As part of the
Request for Proposal (RFP) process to secure a partner agency, City staff with the direction of the Public
Utilities Board and City Council, updated the program guidelines and criteria to ensure assistance continues
to be available for low and fixed income families with postpaid and prepaid utility accounts.
In addition to updated criteria, the proposal requires more detail in the reporting of clients who have applied
but were ultimately declined for assistance. The requested data also includes the number of clients
requesting assistance, number of clients approved, including the amount, number of clients denied
assistance including the reason why, number of appeals received, client demographics, total amount
received from DMU and the total amount administered. The updated reporting requirements will allow the
City to evaluate the need for appropriate funding or if further adjustments to criteria are warranted.
Interfaith Ministries of Denton, Inc., will be paid $18,996 annually, to administer the program for a total of
$56,988 over the contract term. The remaining funds of the contract ($318,012) will be utilized to help
approved customers pay for security deposits and utility balances. The funds will pass through Interfaith
Ministries of Denton, Inc., to approved customers on behalf of the City.
Request for Proposals (RFP) were sent to 295 prospective suppliers for this service. In addition,
specifications were placed on the Materials Management website for prospective suppliers to download and
advertised in the local newspaper. Due to the nature of these specialized services, only one (1) response
was received. Proposals were based on published criteria including, price, schedule, compliance with
specifications, and indicators of probable performance. A Best and Final Offer (BAFO) was conducted
with Interfaith Ministries of Denton, Inc., resulting in a small annual savings for administration of program
(Exhibit 2).
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Councils, Boards, Commissions)
In January 2018, Customer Service presented the P.L.U.S One program information and options for
approval to the Public Utilities Board and the City Council. The approved direction was to update criteria
to the P.L.U.S One program, increase funding by $25,000, allow funds to be allocated to deposits and
execute a deposit waiver for customers experiencing homelessness and working with a help agency to be
housed.
On March 26, 2018, the Public Utilities Board (PUB) recommended this item to the City Council for
consideration.

Subcontractors, the Contractor is required to submit a Contract Close-Out MBE/WBE Compliance
Report to the Purchasing Manager no later than the 15th calendar day after completion of all work
under the contract. Final payment, retainage, or both may be withheld if the Contractor is not in
compliance with the requirements as accepted by the City.
B. The making and acceptance of final payment will constitute:
i. a waiver of all claims by the City against the Contractor, except claims (1) which have
been previously asserted in writing and not yet settled, (2) arising from defective work appearing
after final inspection, (3) arising from failure of the Contractor to comply with the Contract or the
terms of any warranty specified herein, (4) arising from the Contractor's continuing obligations

17. RIGHT TO AUDIT:
A. The City shall have the right to audit and make copies of the books, records and computations
pertaining to the Contract. The Contractor shall retain such books, records, documents and other
evidence pertaining to the Contract period and five years thereafter, except if an audit is in progress
or audit findings are yet unresolved, in which case records shall be kept until all audit tasks are
completed and resolved. These books, records, documents and other evidence shall be available,
within ten (10) business days of written request. Further, the Contractor shall also require all
Subcontractors, material suppliers, and other payees to retain all books, records, documents and
other evidence pertaining to the Contract, and to allow the City similar access to those documents.
All books and records will be made available within a 50 mile radius of the City of Denton. The
cost of the audit will be borne by the City unless the audit reveals an overpayment of 1% or greater.
If an overpayment of 1% or greater occurs, the reasonable cost of the audit, including any travel
costs, must be borne by the Contractor which must be payable within five (5) business days of
receipt of an invoice.
B. Failure to comply with the provisions of this section shall be a material breach of the Contract
and shall constitute, in the City's sole discretion, grounds for termination thereof. Each of the
terms "books", "records", "documents" and "other evidence", as used above, shall be construed to
include drafts and electronic files, even if such drafts or electronic files are subsequently used to
generate or prepare a final printed document.
18. SUBCONTRACTORS:
A. If the Contractor identified Subcontractors in a DBE/MBE/WBE agreed to Plan, the Contractor
shall comply with all requirements approved by the City. The Contractor shall not initially employ
any Subcontractor except as provided in the Contractor's Plan. The Contractor shall not substitute
any Subcontractor identified in the Plan, unless the substitute has been accepted by the City in
writing. No acceptance by the City of any Subcontractor shall constitute a waiver of any rights or
remedies of the City with respect to defective deliverables provided by a Subcontractor. If a Plan

Awards and Expenditures Report to the Procurement Manager, no later than the tenth calendar day
of each month.

iii. require Subcontractors to submit all invoices and applications for payments, including
any claims for additional payments, damages or otherwise, to the Contractor in sufficient
time to enable the Contractor to include same with its invoice or application for payment

iv. require that all Subcontractors obtain and maintain, throughout the term of their
contract, insurance in the type and amounts specified for the Contractor, with the City

v. require that the Subcontractor indemnify and hold the City harmless to the same extent
as the Contractor is required to indemnify the City.
C. The Contractor shall be fully responsible to the City for all acts and omissions of the
Subcontractors just as the Contractor is responsible for the Contractor's own acts and omissions.
Nothing in the Contract shall create for the benefit of any such Subcontractor any contractual
relationship between the City and any such Subcontractor, nor shall it create any obligation on the
part of the City to pay or to see to the payment of any moneys due any such Subcontractor except
as may otherwise be required by law.
D. The Contractor shall pay each Subcontractor its appropriate share of payments made to the
Contractor not later than ten (10) calendar days after receipt of payment from the City.

current prices on orders by others for like deliverables under similar terms of purchase.
B. The Contractor certifies that the prices in the Offer have been arrived at independently without
consultation, communication, or agreement for the purpose of restricting competition, as to any
matter relating to such fees with any other firm or with any competitor.
C. In addition to any other remedy available, the City may deduct from any amounts owed to the
Contractor, or otherwise recover, any amounts paid for items in excess of the Contractor's current
prices on orders by others for like deliverables under similar terms of purchase.

conditions of the Contract, and to all applicable State, Federal or local laws, rules, and regulations,
and industry codes and standards. Unless otherwise stated in the Solicitation, the deliverables shall
be new or recycled merchandise, and not used or reconditioned.
Contract # 6669
DocuSign Envelope ID: 7901 B5D8-623A-4810-9AE6-F4092822D919
A. Recycled deliverables shall be clearly identified as such.
B. The Contractor may not limit, exclude or disclaim the foregoing warranty or any warranty
implied by law; and any attempt to do so shall be without force or effect.
C. Unless otherwise specified in the Contract, the warranty period shall be at least one year from
the date of acceptance of the deliverables or from the date of acceptance of any replacement
deliverables. If during the warranty period, one or more of the above warranties are breached, the
Contractor shall promptly upon receipt of demand either repair the non-conforming deliverables,
or replace the non-conforming deliverables with fully conforming deliverables, at the City's option
and at no additional cost to the City. All costs incidental to such repair or replacement, including
but not limited to, any packaging and shipping costs shall be borne exclusively by the Contractor.
The City shall endeavor to give the Contractor written notice of the breach of warranty within
thirty (30) calendar days of discovery of the breach of warranty, but failure to give timely notice
shall not impair the City's rights under this section.
D. If the Contractor is unable or unwilling to repair or replace defective or non-conforming
deliverables as required by the City, then in addition to any other available remedy, the City may
reduce the quantity of deliverables it may be required to purchase under the Contract from the
Contractor, and purchase conforming deliverables from other sources. In such event, the
Contractor shall pay to the City upon demand the increased cost, if any, incurred by the City to
procure such deliverables from another source.

reasonable satisfaction that such default does not, in fact, exist. In addition to any other remedy
available under law or in equity, the City shall be entitled to recover all actual damages, costs,
losses and expenses, incurred by the City as a result of the Contractor's default, including, without

Contract for cause by the City and may result in legal action.
30. DELAYS:
A. The City may delay scheduled delivery or other due dates by written notice to the Contractor if
the City deems it is in its best interest. If such delay causes an increase in the cost of the work
under the Contract, the City and the Contractor shall negotiate an equitable adjustment for costs
incurred by the Contractor in the Contract price and execute an amendment to the Contract. The
Contractor must assert its right to an adjustment within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of
receipt of the notice of delay. Failure to agree on any adjusted price shall be handled under the

excuse the Contractor from delaying the delivery as notified.

this Contract if, while and to the extent such default or delay is caused by acts of God, fire, riots,
civil commotion, labor disruptions, sabotage, sovereign conduct, or any other cause beyond the
reasonable control of such Party. In the event of default or delay in contract performance due to
any of the foregoing causes, then the time for completion of the services will be extended;

49. DISPUTE RESOLUTION:
A. If a dispute arises out of or relates to the Contract, or the breach thereof, the parties agree to
negotiate prior to prosecuting a suit for damages. However, this section does not prohibit the filing
of a lawsuit to toll the running of a statute of limitations or to seek injunctive relief. Either party
may make a written request for a meeting between representatives of each party within fourteen
(14) calendar days after receipt of the request or such later period as agreed by the parties. Each
party shall include, at a minimum, one (1) senior level individual with decision-making authority
regarding the dispute. The purpose of this and any subsequent meeting is to attempt in good faith
to negotiate a resolution of the dispute. If, within thirty (30) calendar days after such meeting, the
parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the dispute, they will proceed directly to
mediation as described below. Negotiation may be waived by a written agreement signed by both
parties, in which event the parties may proceed directly to mediation as described below.
B. If the efforts to resolve the dispute through negotiation fail, or the parties waive the negotiation
process, the parties may select, within thirty (30) calendar days, a mediator trained in mediation
skills to assist with resolution of the dispute. Should they choose this option; the City and the
Contractor agree to act in good faith in the selection of the mediator and to give consideration to
qualified individuals nominated to act as mediator. Nothing in the Contract prevents the parties
from relying on the skills of a person who is trained in the subj ect matter of the dispute or a contract
interpretation expert. If the parties fail to agree on a mediator within thirty (30) calendar days of
initiation of the mediation process, the mediator shall be selected by the Denton County Alternative
Dispute Resolution Program (DCAP). The parties agree to participate in mediation in good faith
for up to thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the first mediation session. The City and the
Contractor will share the mediator's fees equally and the parties will bear their own costs of
participation such as fees for any consultants or attorneys they may utilize to represent them or
otherwise assist them in the mediation.

laws of the State of Texas, including, when applicable, the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted
in Texas, V.T.C.A., Bus. & Comm. Code, Chapter l, excluding any rule or principle that would
refer to and apply the substantive law of another state or jurisdiction. All issues arising from this
Contract shall be resolved in the courts of Denton County, Texas and the parties agree to submit
to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts. The foregoing, however, shall not be
construed or interpreted to limit or restrict the right or ability of the City to seek and secure
injunctive relief from any competent authority as contemplated herein.
51. INVALIDITY: The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision of the Contract
shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other portion or provision of the
Contract. Any void provision shall be deemed severed from the Contract and the balance of the

or provision held to be void. The parties further agree to reform the Contract to replace any stricken
provision with a valid provision that comes as close as possible to the intent of the stricken
provision. The provisions of this section shall not prevent this entire Contract from being void

SUBJECT
Hold a public hearing regarding a draft ethics ordinance from attorney Alan Bojorquez.
BACKGROUND
On November 7, 2017 a charter election was held in which Proposition D was approved by the voters and
required the City adopt an ethics ordinance in accordance with Texas law and with adherence to certain
minimum standards. Shortly after the election the City Council directed staff to hire attorney Alan
Bojorquez to assist in the development of an ethics ordinance.
Prior to commencing the drafting process the City Council completed two (2) hours of formal training on
ethics laws and common components of municipal ethics policies in Texas. The City Council held a series
of five (5) meetings from December 2017 to February 2018 to discuss various elements of an ethics
ordinance and provide direction in the creation of an ethics ordinance. The first draft of an ethics ordinance,
Draft "A", was presented to City Council on March 6, 2018. A second draft of an ethics ordinance, Draft
"B", was presented to City Council on March 20, 2018. This draft is based on a broad sampling of more
than nineteen (19) municipal ethics policies and over seventeen (17) hours of discussion with City Council.
This ordinance would apply to the Mayor, City Council, Planning and Zoning, Zoning Board of Adjustment,
department heads appointed by City Council, and vendors. Staff plans to bring forward an ethics policy to
be adopted by City Council for City employees along with the ethics ordinance.
A second public hearing was included at the request of City Council to provide citizens an additional
opportunity to provide feedback on the current draft ethics ordinance. Additionally, citizens can provide
comments through the website on the ethics ordinance development page and by emailing staff or City
Council.
Included as Exhibit 2 is a third draft of the ethics ordinance, Draft "C", based on the feedback that staff has
received during the prior City Council meetings.

The purpose of this Article is to foster an environment of integrity for those that serve the City of
Denton and our citizenry. The City Council enacted this Article in order to increase public

stewards of the public trust. City Officials have a responsibility to the citizens to administer and
enforce the City Charter and City Ordinances in an ethical manner. To ensure and enhance public
confidence in our municipal government, each City Official must strive not only to maintain
technical compliance with the principles of conduct set forth in this Article, but to aspire daily to
carry out their duties objectively, fairly, and lawfully. Furthermore, this Article was enacted to
ensure that decision makers provide responsible stewardship of City resources and assets.
It is not the purpose of this Article to provide a mechanism to defame, harass or abuse their
political opponents, or publicize personal grudges. Rather, this Article is intended to provide a
framework within which to encourage ethical behavior, and enforce basic standards of conduct
while providing due process that protects the rights of the Complainant and the Accused.

occurred is placed on the Complainant, it is the Complainant that has the
obligation to put forth evidence, including testimony, supporting the Complaint.
The Complainant is required to testify at the hearing. A Complainant's failure to
testify at a hearing shall be grounds for dismissal of a Complaint.
(5) Representation: The Accused shall have a right to present a defense. Both the

criminal proceeding before a grand jury or the courts, the Board of Ethics may,
when a majority of its members deem appropriate, postpone any hearing or any
appeal concerning the Complaint until after the criminal investigation or criminal
proceedings are terminated.
5��� 3-122m I)i�p��iti�n

majority vote of its members that a Complaint should be dismissed, it may do so upon
finding:

(3) the Accused reasonably relied in good faith upon an Advisory Opinion, as
provided in this Article; or

A letter of notification shall advise the Accused of any steps to be taken to avoid
future violations.

of this Article; or
(B) was serious and may have been unintentional.

Adjustment, or a Department Head, and it:
(A) was serious and was committed knowingly, intentionally or in disregard of
this Article or a state conflict of interest law; or
(B) was minor but similar to a previous violation by the Person, and was
committed knowingly, intentionally or in disregard of this Article.
The final authority to impose a suspension rests with the City Council.
(5) Ineligibility. If the Board of Ethics finds that a Vendor has violated this Article,
the Board may recommend to the City Manager that the Vendor be deemed
ineligible to enter into a City contract or other arrangement for goods, services,
or real property, for a period of one (1) year.
Notice of all sanctions imposed by the Board of Ethics shall be transmitted to
the Accused, Complainant, City Auditor, City Attorney, and City Council.
Frivolous.
(1) Prohibition. It is a violation of this Article for a Person to submit a Frivolous
Complaint.
(2) Super-Majority Vote. If the Board of Ethics determines at the conclusion of a

Chair Strange opened the Public Hearing. Cindy Jackson, Senior Planner presented this request.
Staff recommends approval of the request. Staff received one response in opposition, which covers
49 percent of the surrounding area, a super majority vote by City Council will be required.
The following individuals spoke during the Public Hearing:
Victor Eneh, 1222 Golden Hoof Dr, Krum, Texas. Opposed to the request. Eneh shared his
concerns regarding the number of neighboring gas well sites surrounding his property, specifically
regarding fracking, and the impact this will have on his residential property. Eneh also shared his
concerns regarding the potential noise impacts the subject site will have, as well as the precedence
this development will set for any future development in the area.
The property owner, Dr. Lester Schachar, 105 Choctaw, Lake Kiowa, Texas, stated he
would like to develop a medical facility on the subj ect site. The site is only large enough to develop
one building. Schachar stated the land is very limited for development due to the number of
neighboring gas wells. He does not want to have any impact on the surrounding neighbors.
The Commission discussed a less intense zoning district for the subject site. Commissioner Beck
and Commissioner Ellis stated the proposed zoning will set precedence for future rezoning and
development within the area, which will impact the existing rural property owners.
Commissioner Sanchez stated more of these developments will continue to show up along this
area due to the nature of this being primary arterial road. Chair Strange agreed.
There was no one else to speak, Chair Strange closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Tim Smith motioned, Commissioner Andrew Rozell seconded to approve this
request. Motion approved (5-1). Commissioner Alfredo Sanchez "aye", Commissioner Larry Beck

Staff Analysis
Z18-0003/Hillcrest North
City Council District 4
Apri13, 2018
REQUEST:
Hold a public hearing and consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas,
regarding a zoning change from Neighborhood Residential2 (NR-2) to a Community Mixed Use
General (CM-G) District on approximately 3.11 acres and an initial zoning to a CM-G District on
approximately 3 26 acres, the subj ect site is generally located north of Teasley Lane,
approximately 300 feet east of Old Alton Road, in the City of Denton, Denton County, Texas;
adopting an amendment to the City's official zoning map; providing for a penalty in the maximum
amount of $2,000.00 for violations thereof; providing a severability clause and an effective date.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended 6-0 to approve the request.
OWNER:
Hillcrest North Properties, LLC
APPLICANT:
G&A Consultants, LLC
BACKGROUND:
The property owner is proposing a zoning change and an initial zoning to a CM-G District to
facilitate the development of a commercial project, intended uses include retail businesses and
restaurants. The mix of uses have not yet been determined. The property is currently being used
as a retail/office use, Outdoor Living Pool and Patio. Attached as Exhibit 9 for your review is a
copy of the applicant's project narrative.
SITE DATA:
The subject 637 acre property contains four (4) un-platted tracts. The property is currently
developed with buildings associated with an existing commercial business (Outdoor Living Pool
and Patio) and a residential dwelling unit and accessory structures. This property is located within
1,000 feet of a gas well drilling and production site, which is part of a larger gas well plat (JH
Guyer) that contains a total of six (6) gas wellheads.
The City's Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) map shows an ESA Habitat at the northeast
corner of the property. However, the majority of the ESA Habitat was removed in 2015. The map
also shows an ESA Floodplain Designation AE on the northeast corner of the property. Any future
development that encroaches into the ESA Habitat or ESA Floodplain Designation AE would
require a field assessment and the potential completion of an Alternative ESA Plan.
The subject property has approximately 550 feet of frontage on Teasley Lane. Teasley Lane is
classified as a Primary Arterial per the City of Denton Mobility Plan. Primary Arterials provide
major traffic movements within the City, typically are the highest traffic volume roadways in the
city. Teasley Lane is currently a two-lane roadway. TxDOT has begun work to widen Teasley
Lane to a six-lane divided roadway with a 135 feet ROW from the city limits north to Lillian
Miller. According to a TxDOT On-System Report prepared by ITS (City of Denton consultant)
published in December 2017, the anticipated completion date of the widening project is January
2020.
Utility service is available along the front or adjacent to the property. Water service is available
from the existing 8-inch water line along Teasley Lane. All internal water lines will be private.
During the platting/permitting process, the applicant will be required to provide sewer load
calculations. At that time the City will review average daily flow and capacity to determine sewer
options. There is an existing 8-inch public sewer main adjacent to the property located on the
southeast corner of the property.

Districts Use: Industrial Uses Use: Single Family Dwelling

Undevelo ed land and Drillin Site
COMPATABILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES:
The purpose of the CM-G District is intended to provide the necessary shopping, services,
recreation, employment and institutional facilities that are required and supported by the
surrounding community. This zoning is typically located in areas with easy access, such as along
major roadways or the intersection of local roads and arterial streets. Most commercial and
institutional use are permitted by right. Multi-family dwelling is permitted with an approved
Specific Use Permit or as part of a mixed use development. Refer to the attached list of permitted
uses in the CM-G District for further detail.
The proposed CM-G District is compatible with the surrounding areas. The property has frontage
on Teasley Lane a Primary Arterial and the property is in close proximity to commercial uses,
which makes the permitted commercial uses and potential multi-family dwelling use compatible
with the area. Industrial uses are located to the south of the property, across Teasley Lane. While
some CM-G uses may be considered incompatible with existing and potential uses to the south,
they are more compatible than uses currently permitted under NR-2 and RD-5 Districts.
Furthermore, any future development that is proposed south of Teasley Lane will be buffered in
way of a 135 feet wide primary arterial roadway.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
Per the Denton Plan 2030, the Future Land Use designation for the subject property is Community
Mixed Use.
"Community Mixed Use" is intended to promote a mix of uses, of which various
commercial uses remain predominant, but where residential, service, and other uses are
complimentary. This land use applies to existing and future commercial areas in the city,
where redevelopment to mixed-use is desirable. The intent is to encourage a more diverse
and attractive mix of uses over time. Future development in Community Mixed Use areas
will complement and embrace existing, viable uses, and raise the standard of design to
increase their economic viability, accommodate greater connectivity and mobility options,
and create a sense of place to serve the local community.
In determining the Future Land Use designations for this area, the following factors were
considered: 1) Teasley Lane is a Primary Arterial that can handle the traffic demand for a mix of
commercial uses; 2) along both sides of Teasley Lane there is potential to develop with mixed use
and commercial uses, specifically Community Mixed Use primary and supporting uses such as
retail, restaurants, office and residential; and 3) the area is one of the gateways into the City and
should be developed with land uses that welcomes both residents and visitors.
The proposed CM-G District is consistent with the Future Land Use designation of Community
Mixed Use. The permitted uses in the CM-G District include primary uses such as:
a. Hotels
b. Retail Sales and Services
c. Restaurants
d. Professional Services and Offices
e. Drive Through Facilities
£ Quick Vehicle Servicing
g. Administrative or Research Facilities
h. Elementary, Middle and High Schools
i. Multi-family Dwellings with a Specific Use Permit or as part of a Mixed Use Development
In addition, the general regulations in the CM-G District allows for higher intensity development
regulations compared to the NR-2 and RD-5 Districts. The CM-G District's maximum lot
coverage is 80 percent and the District's maximum building height is 65 feet.
The goal for the area over time, with guiding policies, zoning, general regulations, and design
standards, is a mix of land use types and intensities which would accommodate a wide range of
Community Mixed Uses primary and supporting uses. Future development will be sited to avoid
conflicts with sensitive land uses, and be compatible with the existing surrounding built
environment through appropriate setbacks and buffering.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Per the Denton Plan 2030, the Future Land Use designation for the subject property is
Community Mixed Use.
2. Section 35.3.4 of the Denton Development Code (DDC) states that an application for a
rezoning may be approved based on the following conditions:
a. The proposed rezoning conforms to the Future Land Use element of the Denton
Plan; and
b. The proposed rezoning facilitates the adequate provision of transportation, water,
sewer, schools, parks, other public requirements, and public convenience.
3. The proposed zoning change and initial zoning request conforms to the Land Use Element.
When considering the subject request the staff reviews the overall goals and objectives of
the entire Denton Plan 2030.
4. The proposed zoning change and initial zoning request is consistent with Goal LU-2: Grow
with Purpose: Achieve re-investment, revitalization, and redevelopment of key growth
Centers and Corridors. The proposed redevelopment of the area is consistent with the goal
of grow with purpose because Teasley Lane is a key growth corridor, the immediate area
is a key gateway center, and the future widening of the corridor will accommodate the
growth and traffic capacity that is anticipated.
5. The existing NR-2 and RD-5 Districts are inconsistent with the Future Land Use
designation of Community Mixed Use.
6. The proposed CM-G District is consistent with the Future Land Use designation of
Community Mixed Use.
7. Primary permitted land uses in the CM-G District include:
a. Hotels
b. Retail Sales and Services
c. Restaurants
d. Professional Services and Offices
e. Drive Through Facilities
£ Quick Vehicle Servicing
g. Administrative or Research Facilities
h. Elementary, Middle and High Schools
i. Multi-family Dwellings with a Specific Use Permit or as part of a Mixed Use
Development
8. Teasley Lane is a Primary Arterial and the future widening of the roadway can handle the
traffic demand of the primary and supporting uses intended for Community Mixed Uses.
9. Water and wastewater service is available along the front or adjacent to the property.
10. The subj ect 6.37 acre property will be platted to facilitate the development of a commercial
project, consistent with the goals and objectives of the Denton Plan 2030.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request as it is consistent with the goals and objectives of the
Denton Plan 2030.

To comply with the public hearing notice requirements, 14 notices were sent to property owners

Zoning Change Application
Project Narrative
Hillcrest North Development
The subject property is approximately 6 acres located at 9067 Teasley Lane just west of FM 2499. The
retail project is intended to create a combination of restaurant, retail, and office uses.
A Zoning Change is being requested by the property owner to change the current zoning to Community
Mixed-Use (CM-G). The existing zoning is split Neighborhood Residential (NR-2) on the southern half and
Rural Residential (RD-5X) on the northern half.
Site History
The property is currently being used by the current property owner for his business, Outdoor Living Pool
and Patio. There are existing gas wells in the northwest corner of the property which will remain and the
owner will continue to allow access to them, as required.
Surrounding Property Uses
The property is currently zoned NR-2 and RD-5X. Zoning to the north and west of the property is
Community Mixed Use (CM-G). Zoning to the east of the property is Neighborhood Residential (NR-4) with
a small portion of RD-5X. The property across FM 2181 is currently zoned Industry Center Employment
(IC-E).
The Future Land Use Plan indicates a designation of CM-G for the property and all the surrounding
properties. The property to the south, across FM 2181, has a land designation of Regional Center
Commercial Neighborhood (RCC-N).
Existing land uses include a school to the north, parking to the east, neighborhood residential to the west
and industrial uses to the south, across from 2181.
Existing Site Conditions
There are gas wells in the northwest portion of the property that will remain and have access through the
subject property as required.
The Environmentally Sensitive Area map indicates there may be a water habitat in the northeast corner
of the property.
Adequate public utilities are present and run across the south end of the property to serve the existing
buildings. The waterline that fronts a portion the property will need to be extended across the entire
frontage.
Proposed Site Conditions
The property owner proposes a change in Zoning in order to better facilitate the conditions necessary to
develop the property for community retail. The location is prime as it sits facing FM 2181 to the south and
west. The north end of the tract has lesser visibility and will continue to be used for outdoor storage.
The exact configuration of buildings, and mix of uses would be determined based on the needs of each
user, but could include drive-thru restaurants and different types of retail which would provide
neighborhood services and employment to the surrounding areas.
Nuisance Abatement
The Guyer campus is located immediately to the North and West of this property and single-family,
manufactured home community exists to the east. A retail development would coincide and blend
extremely well with these uses as well as create a buffer/transition zone to the industrial to the south and
between the neighborhood and the school.
Zoning and Land Use Compatibility
The land is currently being used for commercial purposes and the future land use designation is
Community Mixed Use. These two uses both follow the city's Comprehensive Plan. The current zoning of
NR-2 and RD-5X are both residential and they do not coincide the Land Use Map or the Comprehensive
Plan for the City. The rezoning of CM-G coincides with the CM-G future land use and with the City's
Comprehensive Plan. The rezoning will also blend well with the school and residential uses and act as a
appropriate buffer. The proposed development will complement the existing area by providing
neighborhood services that are appropriate and conducive along the busy thoroughfare such as FM 2181.
The characteristics of this property are conducive for a retail development. The requested change is
compatible with the Future Land Use Map and Comprehensive Plan. It will also help attract businesses to
this property in order to fulfill the goals and objectives outlined the City's Comprehensive Plan.

SUBJECT
Hold a public hearing and consider adoption of an ordinance of the city of Denton, Texas, regarding a
change in the zoning classification from a Neighborhood Residential 2(NR-2) zoning district and use
classification to an Employment Center commercial (EGC) zoning district and use classification on
approximately 1.769 acres of land generally located the south side of West University Drive/U.S. 380,
approximately 820 feet west of the intersection of West University Drive and Thomas J. Egan Road, in the
city of Denton, Denton County, Texas; adopting an amendment to the city's official zoning map; providing
for a penalty in the maximum amount of $2,000.00 for violations thereof; providing a severability clause
and an effective date. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval5-1. A super majority
vote of the Council is required to approve this item.
BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject site from NR-2 zoning district to EGC zoning district. The
subject property was zoned Office (0) District prior to the 2002 citywide rezoning. The majority of the land
located on the south side of West University from Masch Branch west to the city limits are encumbered by
gas well plats with numerous gas wells. The subject site is one of the few sites on the south side of West
University this is not part of a gas well plat.
OPTIONS
l. Approve as submitted.
2. Approve subject to conditions.
3. Deny.
4. Postpone consideration.
5. Table the item
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommend APPROVAL of this application as presented with a
vote of 5-l.
The Development Review Committee recommends approval of this request, as it meets the established
requirements.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions)
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of this rezoning request (5-1) on March 7,
2018. During the public hearing there was a discussion regarding the close proximity West University/iJ.S.
380 and gas wells to the site; specifically how both the highway and the gas wells negatively impacted the
future use of the subject site for single family residential uses. One nearby resident spoke in opposition
during the public hearing. The applicant also addressed the Commission, explaining his previous attempts
to market the property and that he is requesting to rezone the site to the EGC district because it is the zoning
designation requested by potential buyers. The Commissioners discussed the suitability of the requested
EGC district at this location and all but one Commissioner agreed it was appropriate for this site. The
Commissioner in opposition to the request felt that the requested EGC zoning district was too intense for
the proposed location.
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The City of Denton's Strategic Plan is an action-oriented road map that will help the City achieve its vision.
The foundation for the plan is the five long-term Key Focus Areas (KFA): Organizational Excellence;
Public Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and Family-Friendly Community; and
Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support multiple KFAs, this
specific City Council agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and goal:
Related Key Focus Area: Economic Development
Related Goal: 3.4 Encourage development, redevelopment, recruitment, and retention

Chair Strange opened the Public Hearing. Cindy Jackson, Senior Planner presented this request.
Staff recommends approval of the request. Staff received one response in opposition, which covers
49 percent of the surrounding area, a super majority vote by City Council will be required.
The following individuals spoke during the Public Hearing:
Victor Eneh, 1222 Golden Hoof Dr, Krum, Texas. Opposed to the request. Eneh shared his
concerns regarding the number of neighboring gas well sites surrounding his property, specifically
regarding fracking, and the impact this will have on his residential property. Eneh also shared his
concerns regarding the potential noise impacts the subject site will have, as well as the precedence
this development will set for any future development in the area.
The property owner, Dr. Lester Schachar, 105 Choctaw, Lake Kiowa, Texas, stated he
would like to develop a medical facility on the subj ect site. The site is only large enough to develop
one building. Schachar stated the land is very limited for development due to the number of
neighboring gas wells. He does not want to have any impact on the surrounding neighbors.
The Commission discussed a less intense zoning district for the subject site. Commissioner Beck
and Commissioner Ellis stated the proposed zoning will set precedence for future rezoning and
development within the area, which will impact the existing rural property owners.
Commissioner Sanchez stated more of these developments will continue to show up along this
area due to the nature of this being primary arterial road. Chair Strange agreed.
There was no one else to speak, Chair Strange closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Tim Smith motioned, Commissioner Andrew Rozell seconded to approve this
request. Motion approved (5-1). Commissioner Alfredo Sanchez "aye", Commissioner Larry Beck
"aye", Commissioner Andrew Rozell "aye", Chair Jim Strange "aye", and Commissioner Tim
Smith "aye". Commissioner Margie Ellis "nay".

Z17-0029/Scharchar Rezoning
City Council District #3
April 3, 2018
REQUEST:
Hold a public hearing and consider adoption of an ordinance of the city of Denton, Texas,
regarding a change in the zoning classification from a Neighborhood Residential2 (NR-2) zoning
district and use classification to an Employment Center commercial (EGC) zoning district and
use classification on approximately 1.769 acres of land generally located the south side of West
University Drive/U.S. 380, approximately 820 feet west of the intersection of West University
Drive and Thomas J. Egan Road, in the city of Denton, Denton County, Texas; adopting an
amendment to the city's official zoning map; providing for a penalty in the maximum amount of
$2,000.00 for violations thereof; providing a severability clause and an effective date. The
Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval 5-l. A super majority vote of the
Council is required to approve this item.
(Z17-0029, Schachar Rezoning, Cindy Jackson).
OWNER/APPLICANT:
Les Scharchar
BACKGROUND:
The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject site from NR-2 zoning district to EGC zoning
district. The subject property was zoned Office (0) District prior to the 2002 citywide rezoning.
SITE DATA:
The subject property is undeveloped and has not been platted. The site has approximately 1,234.83
feet of frontage along West University Drive/U.S. 380. West University is designated as a six lane,
divided, primary arterial on the Mobility Plan. The majority of the land located on the south side
of West University from Masch Branch west to the city limits are encumbered by gas well plats
with numerous gas wells. The subject site is one of the few sites on the south side of West
University this is not part of a gas well plat, however the use of the site is restricted due to the
location of gas well pad sites in close proximity. There are approximately eight gas well pad sites
around the subject site. The closest pad site, containing six wellheads, is located approximately
250 feet or less from the southern property line of the subject site.
A complete list of permitted uses in the current and proposed zoning district is provided in the
Comparison of Permitted Uses table.

site
COMPATABILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES:
The EGC zoning district will permit the subject property to be developed with various office and
commercial uses and gas well pad sites. The site is currently zoned NR-2, however, the entire
surrounding area to the west, south, and east is platted with gas well plats, and gas wells located
to the south and west (Exhibit 8). Some gas well sites are located less than 250 feet from the
southern boundary of the subject site. Another concern is the atypical shape of the site, which does
not lend itself to residential use along a highway. The site is not deep enough to permit a larger
setback to help buffer a house from the highway. Given the close proximity of the gas wells, as
well as being located along a U.S. highway, and the shape of the lot, the development of residential
uses on the subject site is highly unlikely.
The purpose of the EGC district to provide locations for a variety of workplaces and
complimentary commercial uses. Residential uses are not permitted within the EGC district. Refer
to the attached list of permitted uses for further detail.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
Per the Future Land Use Map in Denton Plan 2030, the subject property is designated as "Rural
Areas ". This designation is primarily intended to promote rural uses such as farms and ranches,
along with rural (very low density) residential and rural commercial uses. This land use may allow
lots as small as one acre under the gross density provision to allow for conservation development
which clusters smaller lots while permanently protecting scenic rural open space. Larger single
family residential lots may be permitted on the periphery of the city that complement a more
suburban type of development.
The existing NR-2 zoning district is not compatible with the Rural Areas Future Land Use
designation due to minimum lot size and density requirements. The requested EGC zoning district
is not compatible with the existing Future Land Use designation, and fits within the Business
Innovation Future Land Use designation primarily due to the size of the lot, the proximity to gas
wells and frontage along a six-lane, divided, primary arterial thoroughfare.
CONSIDERATIONS:
l. The request to rezone the subject site from NR-2 District to EGC District is to facilitate
the development of commercial uses such as Professional Offices.
2. Section 35.3.4 of the Denton Development Code (DDC) states that an application for a
rezoning may be approved based on the following criteria: a) The proposed rezoning
conforms to the Future Land Use element of the Denton Plan 2030 and b) The proposed
rezoning facilitates the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewer, schools,
parks, other public requirements, and public convenience.
The requested EGC zoning district does not conform to the Future Land Use Plan for this
area, which designates the site for Rural Areas. Preferred land uses in those areas
designated as Rural Areas include agricultural uses such as farms and ranches, with very
low density housing.
When a rezoning request does not conform to the Future Land Use Designation for the site,
the DDC provides additional criteria for evaluation of the request in Section 353.38(3).
The following criteria are intended to balance the interest in promoting the public health
safety, morals, or general welfare against the right to the use of the property:
a. The existing land use pattern surrounding the property and the possible impact on
existing or future development or uses that are in accordance with existing
regulations.
The subject property is in close proximity to several gas well sites and abuts gas
well plats to the south, east and west. Given the size of the subject site (1.7119
acres), combined with the atypical shape of the site, the frontage along University
Drive, a six lane, divided primary arterial, the proximity of the gas well pad sites,
and the limitation of driveway access which is controlled by TxDOT, it is unlikely
that the site will be developed with single family home sites.
b. The population density in order to facilitate the adequate provision of
transportation, water, sewer, schools, parks, public convenience, and other public
requirements.
The proposed rezoning request is for a non-residential zoning district and will not
affect population density in the area. University Drive/ U.S. 380 was recently
widened by TxDOT, and should be able to accommodate any additional traffic
generated by this site. Specific requirements for improvements will be determined
during the platting of the property.
c. The cost to the City and other governmental entities in providing, improving,
increasing or maintaining public utilities, schools, streets and other public safety
measures.
Future development of the site will be required to comply with all of the City's
transportation, drainage, and infrastructure requirements. Impact fees for water,
wastewater, and roadways would be assessed with building permits.
d. The possible impact on the environment, including but not limited to, drainage, soil
erosion and sedimentation, fZooding, air quality and water quantity.
There is a small area of floodplain with associated Environmentally Sensitive Areas
(ESA) identified on the western side of the property. Both a drainage analysis of
the site and ESA assessment will be conducted during the platting and civil
engineering process to ensure no negative impacts.
e. Whether there are substantial reasons why the property cannot be used in
accordance with existing zoning or that proposed by the Future Land Use Map.
As previously mentioned, the subject property is in close proximity to several gas
well sites and abuts gas well plats to the south, east and west. Given the location of
the site along University Drive, shape of the lot, and the proximity of the gas well
sites, it is unlikely that the site will be developed with single family homes.
f. The action shall be made with reasonable consideration of the character of the
district and its peculiar suitability for particular uses, and with a view of conserving
the value of buildings and encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout
the City.
Per the Denton Plan 2030 and the Future Land Use Map, the most appropriate
zoning designations for this site are either of the Rural Districts, NR-1, and NR-2.
The proposed rezoning would introduce commercial uses in the area, however,
given that the site is located along University Drive, a six-lane, divided, primary
arterial, commercial uses are more appropriate in this location than are residential
uses.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
While the rezoning request does not conform with the Future Land Use Map, the request does
conform with the criteria in Section 353.38(3). As such, staff recommends approval of this
rezoning request.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:
To comply with the public hearing notice requirements, two notices were sent to property owners
within 200 feet of the subject property, 2 courtesy notices were sent to physical addresses within
500 feet of the subject property, a notice was published in the Denton Record Chronicle, and signs
were placed on the property. As of this writing, staff has received one response in opposition to
the request from property owners within 200 feet of the subject site. Due to the size of the
landholdings in the area, this one response comprises 49% of the area located within the 200-foot
notification area. As such, a super-majority vote of the City Council is required to approve this
request.
Given that small number of property owners located within 500 feet of the subject site, staff
advised the applicant to send a letter out to the two affected property owners describing the request
for rezoning and advising them to contact him if they had questions in lieu of holding a
neighborhood meeting. As of this writing, the applicant has received one response from the
affected property owners in opposition to this request.

49 percent of the surrounding area, a super majority vote by City Council will be required.
The following individuals spoke during the Public Hearing:
Victor Eneh, 1222 Golden Hoof Dr, Krum, Texas. Opposed to the request. Eneh shared his
concerns regarding the number of neighboring gas well sites surrounding his property, specifically
regarding fracking, and the impact this will have on his residential property. Eneh also shared his
concerns regarding the potential noise impacts the subject site will have, as well as the precedence
this development will set for any future development in the area.

and Commissioner Ellis stated the proposed zoning will set precedence for future rezoning and
development within the area, which will impact the existing rural property owners.

Planning Report
Z17-0032/Colorado Townhouses
City Council District #1
April 3, 2018
REQUEST:
Hold a public hearing and consider an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, regarding a change
in the zoning classification from a Neighborhood Residential 6(NR-6) zoning district and use
classification to a Neighborhood Residential Mixed Use 12 (NRMU-12) zoning district and use
classification with an overlay on approximately 8.887 acres of land generally located on the
southwest side of Colorado Boulevard, approx. 315 feet northwest of San Jacinto Boulevard in the
City of Denton, Denton County, Texas; adopting an amendment to the city's official zoning map;
providing for a penalty in the maximum amount of $2,000.00 for violations thereof; providing a
severability clause and an effective date. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommend
approval of this request 6-0.
OWNER:
Marvin Jeffries
APPLICANT:
Eric Schmitz
BACKGROUND:
The applicant, on behalf of the property owner, has requested a rezoning from NR-6 District to
NRMU-12 District in order to develop the subject property with a Townhouse community. While
townhomes are a permitted use in the NR-6 zoning district, the applicant intends to take advantage
of the higher permitted density of the NRMU-12 district to achieve a residential density of
approximately ten dwelling units per acre.
SITE DATA:
The subject property is undeveloped and platted as a remainder of Lot 56, Block A, The Oaks of
Township IL The site was originally intended to be developed as future phases of the Villas of
Piney Creek, however that did not occur. According to the plat, the site has approximately 904.1
feet of frontage along Colorado Boulevard. Colorado Boulevard is designated as a four lane,
undivided, secondary arterial on the Mobility Plan.
A complete list of permitted uses in the current and proposed zoning district is provided in the
Comparison of Permitted Uses table.
SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES:
Northwest: North: Northeast:
Zoning: NR-3 Zoning: NRMU-12 Zoning: NRMU-12
Use: Single Family residential Use: Multifamily residential Use: Multifamily residential
West: : ' ' 1 ' ' East:
Zoning: NR-3 • • ' . Zoning: RCGD
Use: Single Family residential �--•�-� Use: Offices
Southwest: South: Southeast:
Zoning: NR-6 Zoning: RCGD & RCR-1 Zoning: RCGD
Use: Single Family residential Use: Future hotel site and Use: Bowling Alley
medical offices
COMPATABILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES:
Under NRMU-12 zoning, the subject property may develop with light commercial including
office, retail, and institutional uses. The subject property may also develop with residential uses
including townhomes, dwellings above businesses, or multi-family. Multi-family is permitted only
with a Specific Use Permit (SUP) or if part of a mixed-use development.
The purpose of the NRMU and NRMU-12 zoning districts are to promote Neighborhood Mixed
Use Activity Centers, as described in Denton Plan 2030. These activity centers would primarily
allow a mix of retail, office, and moderate density residential to serve their surrounding single-
family neighborhoods. NRMU and NRMU-12 may also serve as transitions between
neighborhoods and non-residential zoning districts.
The proposed NRMU-12 district is typically used as a transition district between single family
residential districts and more intense commercial districts. The use of the NRMU-12 district in this
location helps to buffer the single family residential development located to the west and southwest
from the existing multifamily uses located along Colorado Boulevard and commercial uses, such
as the bowling alley and Golden Triangle Mall which are located along San Jacinto.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
Per the Future Land Use Map in the Denton Plan 2030, the subject property is designated as
"Moderate Residential." This designation is primarily intended to promote single-family housing
on small lots, typical of Denton's more compact, established single-family neighborhoods. The
density of Moderate Residential should range between four to twelve units per acre. Low-rise
multifamily dwellings and townhomes may also be located in these areas so long as they maintain
a scale, style, and building orientation complementary of the prevailing character of the area. This
designation typically applies to areas within the central areas of Denton as a transition between
established single-family neighborhoods and mixed-use or commercial areas that can
accommodate greater density.
The proposed Townhouse development is compatible with the goals and objectives stated in the
Denton Plan 2030 with regard to areas designated as Moderate Residential.
CONSIDERATIONS:
l. The request is for a rezoning from NR-6 District to NRMU-12 District on approximately
8.887 acres of land to facilitate the development of a townhouse development. The
proposed use is permitted within the existing zoning at a maximum density of six dwelling
units per acre, however the applicant wishes to develop the site with a density of
approximately ten dwelling units.
The subject property is adjacent to two single family residential neighborhoods, as well as
a bowling alley and a planned hoteL Multifamily apartments are located across Colorado
Boulevard. The siting of attached single family townhouses, as proposed, will provide an
excellent transition between the multifamily development to the north and the commercial
development located to the south and east.
2. Section 35.3.4 of the Denton Development Code (DDC) states that an application for a
rezoning may be approved based on the following criteria:
a. The proposed rezoning conforms to the Future Land Use element of the Denton
Plan 2030.
The Future Land Use Map designation for the subject property is "Moderate
Residential." Residential uses under the proposed NRMU-12 district complies with
the designation. However, permitted commercial uses would not be conforming.
b. The proposed rezoning facilitates the adequate provision of transportation, water,
sewer, schools, parks, other public requirements, and public convenience.
The development will be required to comply with all of the City's transportation,
drainage, and infrastructure requirements. In addition, the development will be
required to comply with all tree preservation requirements.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
While the rezoning request generally complies with the criteria established by the DDC,
commercial uses on the site are not consistent with the existing land uses. Accordingly, staff
recommends approval of this rezoning request with the following conditions:
l. The Mixed Use Protection Overlay is also approved with the following limitations:
a. There shall be no uses permitted other than single family attached, including
townhouses or single family detached dwelling units.
b. The overall density shall not exceed ten dwelling units per acre.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:
To comply with the public hearing notice requirements, 45 notices were sent to property owners
within 200 feet of the subject property, 88 courtesy notices were sent to physical addresses within
500 feet of the subject property, a notice was published in the Denton Record Chronicle, and signs
were placed on the property. As of this writing, staff has received seven responses opposed to the
request from property owners within 200 feet of the subject site, comprising 3% of the property
located within 200-foot noticing boundary, and two responses in favor of the request, also
comprising 3% of the property located within 200-foot noticing boundary, and one response
neutral to the request. One property owner sent in two responses, one in opposition which was sent
before he knew what was planned for the site, and one in favor, sent after he learned that single
family residential uses were planned for the site.
The applicant held a neighborhood meeting to which 29 citizens attended. The concerns were
similar to those expressed during the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, noted on the
Agenda Information Sheet (AIS).

SUBJECT
Hold a public hearing and consider adoption of an ordinance regarding proposed revisions to the Denton
Development Code, specifically to repeal and replace Subchapter 17 Environmentally Sensitive Areas
(ESAs), amend Subchapter 3 Procedures related to appeals, and amend Subchapter 23 Definitions by
adding new and replacing definitions. The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-2 to approve the
revisions with conditions. The Committee on the Environment recommended approval3-0. (DCA17-001 l,
Environmentally Sensitive Areas, Deborah Viera)
BACKGROUND
Staff proposes numerous amendments throughout Subchapter 17 that would address identified deficiencies
and conflicts with the current code. Subchapter 17 has not been revised since its adoption in 2002 in
comparison with other DDC subchapters and criteria manuals that have gone through extensive changes.
Subchapter 17 supported and complimented numerous standards contained throughout the original DDC,
many of which had been revised and no longer fit together. In numerous occasions applicants have brought
to staff's attention unclear language that has made the development review process complicated and less
certain.
Staff also proposes a new appeal process for staff determinations on environmentally sensitive areas (ESA)
field assessments. Currently, there is no appeal process identified in Subchapter 3 Procedures. In keeping
with all the proposed changes, staff has identified new terms and current definitions in Subchapter 23 in
need of change

The foundation for the plan is the five long-term Key Focus Areas (KFA): Organizational Excellence;
Public Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and Family-Friendly Community; and
Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support multiple KFAs, this
specific City Council agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and goal:
Related Key Focus Area: Sustainable & Environmental Stewardship
Related Goal: 5.4 Manage land use and preserve open/natural spaces

DCA17-0011 / Environmentally Sensitive Areas Code Update
April 3, 2018
REQUEST:
Hold a public hearing and consider adoption of an ordinance regarding proposed revisions to the
Denton Development Code, specifically to repeal and replace Subchapter 17 Environmentally
Sensitive Areas (ESAs), amend Subchapter 3 Procedures related to appeals, and amend Subchapter
23 Definitions by adding new and replacing definitions. The Planning and Zoning Commission
voted 4-2 to approve the revisions with conditions. The Committee on the Environment
recommended approval 3-0. (DCA17-0011, Environmentally Sensitive Areas, Deborah Viera)
BACKGROUND:
Staff proposes numerous amendments throughout Subchapter 17 that would address identified
deficiencies and conflicts with the current code, would increase protection of upland habitats, and
would provide consistency and streamline the development review process while ensuring
restoration of disturbed areas.
The following are the most substantial changes proposed:
o The creation of an ESA Criteria Manual (Sec. 35.173)
o Increase the credits given by preservation of ESAs (Sec. 35.17.4.E)
o Establish an appeal process for ESA staff field determinations (Sec. 35.17.6.C3)
o The depiction of Developed and Undeveloped floodplain on the ESA Map (Sec. 35.17.7)
o The exemption of roadways identified on the city Thoroughfare Plan from the limits on fill
and vegetation disturbances (Sec35.17.7.B.l.h and Sec. 35.17.8.A.8)
o The exemption of residential driveways from the limits on fill and vegetation disturbances
(Sec. 35.17.7.B.1.1)
o Non-residential development to preserve 30% of Cross Timbers upland habitats (Sec.
35.17.9.A2)
o Criteria for the approval of alternative ESA plans (Sec. 35.17.11.B)
In regards to the ESA map, it is constantly updated as field assessments are performed on a parcel-
by-parcel basis and when FEMA updates floodplain maps. Proposed code changes would cause
ESAs to be depicted differently on the map. However, these changes would cause no changes in
ESA boundaries. Subchapter 3 Procedures and Subchapter 23 Definitions would be amended to
provide and appeal process for staff determinations on ESA field assessments and adding new and
replacing definitions.
Staff used multiple venues for advertising the proposed changes and soliciting public input. The
proposed changes have been advertised on the Denton Development Code Update webpage,
notices to all ProjectDox applicants were sent via email, presentations were made as part of the
DDC Update open house meetings, and staff solicited input from local and out of town developers
and consultants (Denton Community Development Alliance, Kimley Horn, Peloton Land
Solutions, etc.). All comments received are based on the changes vetted through the City Council
Committee on the Environment (COE) and are compiled in Exhibit 5. Written responses for all
public comments have been provided.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Subchapter 17 has not been revised since its adoption in 2002 in comparison with other
DDC subchapters and criteria manuals.
2. Subchapter 17 was the city's first attempt in codifying Denton's environmental vision.
The implementation of some of the provisions originally adopted were not fully outlined
and have not been implemented. And there is a need for evaluating the original policies
adopted and to modify those that have not performed as expected and/or adopting new
policies that were not considered at the time.
3. The development community and practitioners have identified numerous challenges
when working on sites containing ESAs. One of the most recent cases that showcased
the need for code revisions was Ryan Meadows Phase 2 that required the approval of an
alternative ESA plan for allowing the construction of Creekdale Drive as identified on the
City's Mobility Plan.
4. The protection of ESAs is part of the city's measures for meeting multiple permits and
program requirements such as the TCEQ Phase II Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System
(MS4) Permit, the TCEQ Construction General Permit, the National Floodplain Insurance
Program (NFIP), and meeting minimum requirements for integrated Stormwater
Management (iSWM) city designation. Continuing the protection of ESAs is important
for maintaining the City's regulatory compliance.
5. The proposed amendments are the result of 14 months of working with the City Council
Committee on the Environment (COE) in reviewing Subchapter 17 and proposing changes,
and multiple work sessions and public hearings with the Planning and Zoning Commission.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:
To comply with the public hearing notice requirements, a notice was published in the Denton Record
Chronicle.
The following list explains how the proposed Code changes are depicted on the redlined document.

P&Z recommends simplifying Sec. 35.17.7.B.3 and relocating all technical information about fill to the ESA Criteria Manual in accordance with
Public comments 51, 52, and 53. Proposed Sec. 35.17.7.B.3 reads as follows:
a. Filling of any floodplain of a stream that drains more than one square mile is prohibited unless the fill on any lot is less than 50 cubic yards or
300 cubic feet per acre, whichever is greater.
b. Up to 15% of the floodplain valley storage may be filled if the stream drains less than one square mile.
c. In addition to meeting the requirement for fill set above, all fill activities in the Undeveloped floodplain shall comply with the Environmental

35.17.5 Definitions
The following are used to define the classificafions of Envisonmentally Sensifive Areas comprising the Environmentally
Sensifive Areas Map and other related terms used tl�soughout this Subchapter:
A. Developed Floodplain
Area within the FEMA 1% Annual Chance Floodplain (a.k.a. 100-year floodplain� for which the natural stream has
been redesigned and no longer exhibits characteristics of a natzzral channel and�or its floodplain has been significanfly
modified, graded, filled, or otherwise disturbed.
B. Nuisance
Physical or environmental condifions resulfing in regular and�or confinuous problems affecfing the health, safety, and
quality of life of cifizens.
C. Riparian Buffer
Areas within 100 feet, measured from both sides of the stream centerline, with drainage areas greater than one square
mile, and 50 feet from both sides of any streams centerline that drain areas of one square mile or less. This also applies
to the outer edges of surface water bodies.
D. Stream
Linear geographic feature that conveys flowing waters. Headwater sireams are the uppermost, low-order sireams of a
watershed and comprise the majority of sireams in the United States, both in terms of number and length. Streams can
be perennial, intermittent or ephemeral.
E. Surface Water Body
Term to include streams, ponds, lakes, and freshwater weflands.
F. Undeveloped Floodplain
Areas within the FEMA 1% Annual Chance Floodplain (a.k.a. 100-year floodplain�, that are undeveloped and in theis
natural state.
G. Upland Habitat
Contiguous areas ten acres or larger of Cross Timbers habitat.
H. Valley Storage
Water storage capacity of a stream and is a volume that is measured below the base flood elevafion.
I. Water Related Habitat
Areas designated as weflands, and trees and understory vegetafion containing 50 percent or more of predominately
nafive bottomland hardwood. Bottomland hardwoods occur on the fisst terrace of floodplains and flats along channels.
Periodic inundafion prevents establishment of upland species and maintains the fiznctioning of this type of vegetation.
J. Wetland
Area that is inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and durafion sufficient to support, and that
under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetafion typically adapted for life in saturated soil condifions.
Weilands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas. Includes adjacent and isolated weilands.
35.17.6 Official Map
A. Environmentally Sensitive Areas Map
The official map that idenfifies areas designated as Envisonmentally Sensifive Areas (ESAs�.
B. Environmentally Sensitive Areas Map Amendments
1. The map may be updated administrafively when an ESA field assessment is conducted for a property and
approved by the Director of Development Services.
2. Revisions and amendments to FEMA 1% Annual Chance Floodplain maps shall cause the boundaries of
Floodplain ESAs to be readjusted accordingly.
3. Substanfial amendments of the map shall follow the Zoning Amendment Procedure detailed in Subchapter 3.
Substanfial amendment is defined as changes impacfing the whole city, excepfing changes caused by the
publicafion of new flood insurance rate maps (FIRMs� by FEMA.
C. Environmentally Sensitive Areas Field Assessments.
Field assessments are required prior to platting of property when there is reasonable evidence that Envisonmentally
Sensifive Areas, as depicted on the official ESA Map, may not be accurate. ESA field assessments, as approved by
the Disector of Development Services, shall supersede the official ESA Map in determining what areas are subject
to the requisements of this Subchapter as applied to a proposed development.
1. Information Required;
Information as requised on the Envisonmentally Sensifive Area Assessment applicafion and checklist must be
provided. Additional informafion deemed appropriate and necessary to process the applicafion may be

Chair Strange opened the Public Hearing. Deborah Viera, Assistant Director of Environmental
Services, provided a presentation regarding this request. She provided feedback as to why the
changes are needed.
Commissioner Rozell questioned MS4, he stated the four (4) items listed all appear to be
economical benefits to the City. He questioned if the intent is to protect the economic benefits or
the actual habitats. Viera stated she did not previously go into detail regarding the six (6) basic
analysis for the criteria. She provided detail regarding those six items and how they preserve the
habitats and not just the economic benefit for the City.
Commissioner Sullivan questioned if there are any provisions that would render all or a portion of
a property as unusable or undevelopable, which would give benefit to the property owner. Viera
stated there is a way to restrict land rights, there could be a conservation easement to prevent
development.

Chair Strange requested clarification regarding Section 17.7.b3, regarding standard for filling

Ron Menguita, Principal Planner, presented this request. Staff recommends approval of the
request. Menguita stated a super majority vote would be required during City Council based on
the neighboring property owner opposition. Chair Strange opened the Public Hearing.
The following individuals spoke during the Public Hearing:
Randi Rivera, applicant, 111 Hillside Drive, Lewisville, Texas. Spoke in support. Rivera
provided a brief presentation, including site photos, and drone photos of the site. She stated 45%
of the land is encumbered by floodplain, drainage easement, pipeline easement, and gas well pad
sites. She stated she has spoken with the neighbor that is in opposition, they want to be able to
protect their land. The neighbor also wants to make sure that the pond is functioning properly and
not causing erosion to run downstream. Rivera stated as the applicant, they also would like to see
the pond updated to function properly.
Commissioner Smith questioned the size of the proposed corporate and urban residential areas.
Rivera stated it would cover approximately 25 acres. Those two uses could be flip-flopped on the
site. She compared the development to Cypress Waters in the Irving, Texas area. Commissioner
Smith questioned the type of corporate campus. Rivera stated there is not a specific company at
this time, however, they have worked with the Economic Development Department and discussed
the shortage of Campus Class A type settings.
Philip Baker, P. O. Box 2424, Denton, Texas. Spoke in opposition. Baker stated he
represents the Rayzor Developments, which owns approximately 134 acres surrounding the
subject site. He stated the zoning would allow for retail, multi-family, and restaurants. Baker stated
he doesn't have an issue with retail and restaurants along University Drive, he personally does not
feel they would survive based on the surrounding developments. There are a lot of developments
in the area that do not want to be next to residential uses. He stated his company has ensured
several businesses that they would not be neighboring residential uses.
Chair Strange questioned Baker why he feels his project that came before this Commission a few
months back is an acceptable development in the area, however, the proposed development is not
sufficient. Baker stated there are topography issues with the site, there are no natural land features
to the site. The existing stream needs to be dealt with. Baker stated he doesn't want to see
residential developed on the site. He stated he believes the pond is something that a staff inember
of the Selwyn School dug up just using a backhoe. He doesn't feel that it was created properly.
Everette Newland, property owner, 8485 Jim Christal Road, Denton, Texas. Newland
stated they have tried to meet with Baker regarding his issues in the past, however, Baker does not
recall the discussions. Newland stated they do not have an issue flip-flopping the corporate and
urban residential uses on the site.
The Commission stated they feel the zoning and the uses are compatible for the area. They would
like to see it move forward to City Council.

Stephanie Wilson, 2609 Thunderbird Drive, Denton, Texas. Spoke in opposition. Wilson

access to the subject site connecting to the existing neighborhood. Zagurski stated no, the lines on
the map are easements not an actual road.

Rayzor Ranch development. Wilson questioned if there will be a Homeowners Association for the
development. Ebarb confirmed.
