Mr. Godwin explained the Civic Center recently met with the City and Veterans Memorial seeking to transfer the management agreement to the City and he recommended doing so. Mr. Godwin further explained that in 2014, City Council approved a lease amendment for a larger site for the memorial and that approval contained an error in the legal description, which needed to be re- approved with the correct metes and bounds. A Motion to approve the amendments was made by Council Member Frierson and seconded by Council Member Pickle. Motion carried, 7 ayes — 0 nays. 27. Discuss and award a bid to RBIS, Inc. in the amount of $415,713.10 for TWDB Phase III water line replacement project. Mr. Napier addressed Mr. Banks' earlier concerns and said that the $25,000 should be correct and the low bid was correct. He said the first phases of the project were complete and the third phase included the following projects that would be replacing existing cast iron pipes for Grand Ave. from 7th SW to 4th SW; 8ffi NE from Tudor to Grove; 8th NE from Grove to MLK; E. Cherry from 5d' NE to 6th NE and Neatherly from 13th SE to 17th SE (alternate bide not included, would add $62,382.30). Mr. Napier informed the Council the City received two bids and the low bid was from RBIS, Inc. He said this would be funded from the Texas Water Development Board loan; the balance of the fund was approximately $375,000 and the amount exceeded the amount of the loan. Mr. Napier said staff was working with the contractor to reduce the overall project cost by doing a change order and that any additional funding would come from the water and sewer fund for line replacements.
