I'm Pat Smith, 00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:07.360 the chair of the city of dead bond oversight committee. 00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:09.360 This afternoon, we are having 00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:11.640 a regularly scheduled meeting for 00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:15.640 the bond oversight committee via zoom. 00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:19.640 The first agenda item will be consideration 00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:25.160 of the meeting minutes for February 4th, 2021. 00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.560 Is everyone had an opportunity to review the minutes? 00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:34.680 Can I get a motion for approval? 00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:37.320 I'll move. 00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.680 Thank you. Randy Robinson. 00:00:40.680 --> 00:00:42.800 Can I get a second? 00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:44.800 I'll second. 00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:47.440 Thank you, Eric. Any discussion, 00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:52.200 comments or amendments to the meeting minutes? 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.440 All right. Seeing none, 00:00:54.440 --> 00:00:58.000 all in favor of approving the meeting minutes as presented, 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.560 please signify by raising 00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.560 your hand or saying I for the phone or zoom. 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:12.320 I. Janet, are you able to vote? 00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:26.360 Did you hear anything from Janet, Cassie? 00:01:26.360 --> 00:01:29.840 No, it looks like she's joined via phone, 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.560 but it looks like she's still muted. 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.840 Okay. Do we have enough votes? 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:39.880 I thought we had quorum, 00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:42.800 but if she doesn't vote, I don't know if we have quorum. 00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:47.760 I think we're okay, Mac. 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.600 It's very well. 00:01:49.600 --> 00:01:53.760 Just counting answers are four numbers. 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:55.480 Yeah. Eric, myself, 00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.760 Randy, and Brandon. 00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.480 There's seven total on the board? 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:02.520 Yes. 00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:04.120 Yes. We still have a quorum. 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:05.800 Okay. All right. 00:02:05.800 --> 00:02:07.720 That motion is approved. 00:02:07.720 --> 00:02:11.040 Moving on to the next agenda item. 00:02:11.040 --> 00:02:14.560 BOC 21-006. 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:16.720 Receive a report, hold a discussion, 00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:19.160 give staff direction regarding 2012, 00:02:19.160 --> 00:02:24.160 2014, and 2019 general obligation funded capital projects. 00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:26.040 I'll turn it over to you, Cassie. 00:02:26.040 --> 00:02:30.120 Thank you. We have three presentations for you today, 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:33.120 similar to last time. 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.080 Gary Packen is going to present the parks projects, 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.960 and then we'll have Rachel Wood from 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:43.800 Capital Projects present and then Scott Gray from facilities. 00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:48.480 You'll have an opportunity to ask questions with each presenter. 00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:51.040 With that, I'll turn it over to Gary. 00:02:51.720 --> 00:02:56.120 Good afternoon, Gary Packen, Director of Parks and Recreation. 00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:01.160 I'm going to go through the 2014 bond election proposition number 4, 00:03:01.160 --> 00:03:03.840 and our projects associated with that. 00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.840 We've completed all of the playground replacements. 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:10.560 In fact, we completed an extra one at Joe Skiles Park, 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.760 and we had money left over that was relocated and approved 00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:16.480 by the Bond Oversight Committee last meeting. 00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:18.360 That's been moved to the tennis court, 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.640 North Lakes Tennis Center project. 00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:24.240 That is pending construction, 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:27.120 and I'll talk about that here in a future slide. 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:33.680 This is the park improvements phase 1 at Lake Forest Park in Milan. 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:35.240 We completed a playground, 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.040 a pavilion, and a basketball court. 00:03:38.040 --> 00:03:44.200 Phase 2, park improvements at South Lakes Park. 00:03:44.200 --> 00:03:46.080 We are in the bidding process. 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:50.960 We're going to our solicitation review committee next Wednesday 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:56.080 to get that out to bid, so that should be out very soon. 00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:57.960 We're excited to get that project moving. 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.840 That's two additional courts with lights, 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.080 and then an option to put lights on the other courts as well. 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:13.400 Property acquisition, we had a little over $1 million in the bond program, 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:17.080 and we have an additional $5 million for 2019. 00:04:17.080 --> 00:04:22.920 We have submitted an offer on one property down in South Denton, 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:29.600 and Real Estate is working on another offer in the same general area, 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.160 and then we're working with a developer 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:33.720 to potentially buy some land off of them as well. 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:37.960 So there's three properties that we're specifically talking to. 00:04:37.960 --> 00:04:42.680 There is a fourth one that's close to Lake Forest Park 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.680 that's owned by an energy company, 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.280 and they haven't been real responsive, 00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:50.720 so we keep trying to move forward on that. 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.640 So we're trying to work with them as we move forward. 00:04:53.640 --> 00:04:59.120 Southwest Park Master Plan design. 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.560 We have a focus group that's been walking through us 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.120 this process since July of 2020. 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.920 It's about 20, 25 people. 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.640 We take it at the park board and brief them 00:05:11.640 --> 00:05:13.200 and gain some feedback, 00:05:13.200 --> 00:05:17.320 and then we plan on taking it to city council in the near future. 00:05:17.320 --> 00:05:19.880 And once we get feedback from them, then we'll go back, 00:05:19.880 --> 00:05:23.520 make some updates, and then put it back through the process again 00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:29.600 with park board and city council for eventual approval to the master plan. 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:34.040 The master plan itself right now is three sections. 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:37.280 The northern section is open space and park. 00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:39.960 The bottom left, which you see a footprint of a building, 00:05:39.960 --> 00:05:42.360 that could be anything at this point in time. 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:47.200 It just kind of really articulate what size of a building could go there. 00:05:47.200 --> 00:05:51.560 Over the course of the next 20 years, we may decide that it's, you know, 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:56.000 an ice rink, a field house, whatever, a library, a rec center, 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:57.320 could be any one of those. 00:05:57.320 --> 00:06:00.760 So we're just going to leave it as general footprint space 00:06:00.760 --> 00:06:04.240 with its capabilities based on its parking options 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:08.400 and the building space overall with the square footage. 00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:11.440 And then the bottom right side is what could be put there 00:06:11.440 --> 00:06:14.000 in regards to athletic fields. 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.920 None of this needs to be built at one time. 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.160 It could be built in three different phases 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.080 with the park open space, the indoor building, 00:06:21.080 --> 00:06:23.280 and then the field space in the bottom right. 00:06:23.280 --> 00:06:27.840 And each one of those phases could be rolled out at a slower pace as well. 00:06:27.840 --> 00:06:33.200 So this entire property could be phaseable. 00:06:33.200 --> 00:06:35.080 And currently, there's no funding for this. 00:06:35.080 --> 00:06:41.880 So this is just to kind of get a master plan in line for future opportunities. 00:06:41.880 --> 00:06:43.840 Spray ground, this was completed. 00:06:43.840 --> 00:06:46.080 We're going to be opening it up on May 15th. 00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:49.200 It did not open last year because of COVID. 00:06:49.200 --> 00:06:54.240 But we're excited to get it back open and provide that service to the community. 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:55.720 And this is in Carl Young Park. 00:06:55.720 --> 00:07:03.360 Our trail system, this is a component that has been done that basically starts 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:09.720 at North Lakes Park and goes up to North Point Park and then points east. 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:13.320 This is a component of our entire trails plan. 00:07:13.320 --> 00:07:17.080 We've been working on our parks recreation and trail system master plan 00:07:17.080 --> 00:07:19.640 since January of 2019. 00:07:19.640 --> 00:07:24.240 We've been very focused on our trail section of that plan. 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.280 We have currently over 200 miles of trails that are planned in parks, 00:07:28.280 --> 00:07:33.240 along major roadways, along major greenways or creeks. 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:38.400 And then connections between under or over text dot roads. 00:07:38.400 --> 00:07:42.920 And then we're also planning paddling trails as well, both along our creeks 00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:47.560 and around the entire perimeter of Lewisville Lake in partnership 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:52.640 with the Army Corps, Texas Parks and Wildlife, and neighboring cities. 00:07:52.640 --> 00:07:58.960 The tennis center, the Pro Shop has been completed. 00:07:58.960 --> 00:08:02.680 It was actually done about three months ahead of time. 00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:04.200 So that's ready to go. 00:08:04.200 --> 00:08:09.080 We are not yet ready for our flat work. 00:08:09.080 --> 00:08:10.200 We're getting close. 00:08:10.200 --> 00:08:14.360 We've been working through permitting and design on that. 00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:18.600 So we're just about at the point where we can get it out on the street 00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:23.320 and get a meeting set up with finance and purchasing for the SRC 00:08:23.320 --> 00:08:25.880 to get that approved and out to bid. 00:08:25.880 --> 00:08:30.560 We did get $40,000 in grants from the USTA for that project. 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.640 Our goal is to put 12 courts out there. 00:08:33.640 --> 00:08:35.960 We are going to provide some alternates. 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:40.400 So the base bid is 10 courts with two courts as an alternate. 00:08:40.400 --> 00:08:44.880 And then the pickleball courts will be alternates as well. 00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:47.880 That gives us an opportunity to accept or decline 00:08:47.880 --> 00:08:50.760 that based on what the cost comes in and what the budget allows. 00:08:54.600 --> 00:09:00.960 Waterpark additions with the wave pool and the concessions, 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:03.160 we're getting ready to reopen our pools. 00:09:03.160 --> 00:09:05.160 They were not open last year. 00:09:05.160 --> 00:09:10.000 We have been challenged with getting enough people to return, 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.520 to operate at full capacity. 00:09:12.520 --> 00:09:16.120 Since we were closed, we are shorthanded this year. 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:19.200 We lost a lot of our reoccurring staff to other jobs. 00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.600 Since we were not open, they went and sought other employment. 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.480 We did talk to a community last week-- 00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:30.000 actually, this week-- that did open their pools last year. 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:31.920 And they are not having a hiring challenge. 00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:35.560 So it definitely impacted us by closing the pools. 00:09:35.560 --> 00:09:38.440 And that staff went and found other employment 00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:39.600 during that time frame. 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.560 So we have to rebuild our staffing and our aquatics team. 00:09:43.560 --> 00:09:50.080 Vela Athletic Complex, this project is completed. 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.560 The only thing that we're working on is finalizing two signs, 00:09:54.560 --> 00:09:57.440 two plaques that are going to go in the property. 00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:00.760 And we received one, and there was a misprint on it. 00:10:00.760 --> 00:10:02.960 So the company has to redo it. 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.720 When they printed the logo, it didn't come out correctly. 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:07.800 So they're redoing that right now 00:10:07.800 --> 00:10:11.800 and going to be sending that back to us. 00:10:11.800 --> 00:10:15.480 And the sculpture that is going towards the entrance 00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:17.600 of the park, it's called the Trophy. 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.520 That is under fabrication right now 00:10:20.520 --> 00:10:23.440 and looking for installation in August of this summer. 00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:30.640 There's a rendering with the footprint. 00:10:30.640 --> 00:10:33.960 We are going to be putting some landscaping around the perimeter 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:35.960 of this just to kind of soften that up a little bit. 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.840 And there's another angle. 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:46.240 Lake Forest Park, Drew's been working on this 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.120 with our public works team. 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.400 The fish have been relocated. 00:10:50.400 --> 00:10:52.040 The water was drained out. 00:10:52.040 --> 00:10:54.920 I think we may have some more water in there now 00:10:54.920 --> 00:10:56.160 since the recent rains. 00:10:56.160 --> 00:10:59.280 But you can see in the picture that the dam 00:10:59.280 --> 00:11:02.640 is being reconstructed and refortified. 00:11:02.640 --> 00:11:06.560 They removed some trees out of the base of the dam itself. 00:11:06.560 --> 00:11:08.880 And then we'll start dredging in the near future. 00:11:15.160 --> 00:11:17.480 Public art transportation. 00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:19.840 So if you remember a few years ago, 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:24.000 we were going to put some medallions on I-35. 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:28.440 There are currently medallions right there by UNT that exist. 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:33.880 But there were ones to be placed at Brinker and Lillian Miller. 00:11:33.880 --> 00:11:36.000 It was determined that that could not occur. 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:37.720 So we have the funding available. 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.280 There was discussion of putting them on the ground more 00:11:41.280 --> 00:11:43.120 as a monument. 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:47.080 And the Public Art Committee didn't like that idea. 00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:50.320 And there was some discussion to use the funding for gateway 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:51.680 signs. 00:11:51.680 --> 00:11:53.600 And the Public Art Committee felt 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:58.640 that that's not signages and sculptures as an art 00:11:58.640 --> 00:12:00.080 from that perspective. 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.960 So we've been sitting on the money 00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:05.280 looking for what to do with that. 00:12:05.280 --> 00:12:07.920 Currently, we have been talking with TxDOT 00:12:07.920 --> 00:12:13.280 in regards to the continuation of I-35 basically from UNT 00:12:13.280 --> 00:12:15.840 to US-77. 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.600 So the thought process there is we 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:24.720 could continue those medallions moving north along 35 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:28.400 at those interchanges where it could be at the Merge, 00:12:28.400 --> 00:12:34.480 at Oak, at 380, and some areas along that corridor 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:39.120 where the medallions are embossed into the walls 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:43.360 as opposed to freestanding structures attached 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:45.680 to the wall with illumination. 00:12:45.680 --> 00:12:48.040 That would be a little cheaper, a little more affordable. 00:12:48.040 --> 00:12:52.080 So between the $311,000 that we have currently 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.040 in the bond project and then additional $290,000 00:12:56.040 --> 00:12:59.120 that we just received from the Governor's Community Achievement 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:02.080 Award, Denton received and Keep Denton Beautiful received 00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:03.360 first place. 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.400 So we will be receiving a grant of $290,000 00:13:07.400 --> 00:13:10.200 to go towards TxDOT right-of-ways for beautification 00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:11.720 and enhancement. 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:14.240 So we have almost $600,000 that we 00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:17.720 could utilize for future projects. 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.880 So option one basically says funding for sculptures 00:13:20.880 --> 00:13:23.960 on Carroll Dallas Bonnie Bray Roundabout. 00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:25.400 I think it was last meeting that it 00:13:25.400 --> 00:13:27.840 was mentioned about putting a sculpture in the roundabout 00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:29.640 on Bonnie Bray. 00:13:29.640 --> 00:13:34.520 If we decided to reallocate that $311,000 towards sculptures 00:13:34.520 --> 00:13:37.800 that were put in the city along major roadways, 00:13:37.800 --> 00:13:41.680 we could use that money in the very near future. 00:13:41.680 --> 00:13:44.400 With it being bond money, I know we've 00:13:44.400 --> 00:13:47.040 been trying to utilize the bond money quickly 00:13:47.040 --> 00:13:49.680 and get it back into the community. 00:13:49.680 --> 00:13:52.560 This is the fastest way to do that. 00:13:52.560 --> 00:13:55.840 Option two does cause some delays. 00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:57.760 They're in the process of planning, 00:13:57.760 --> 00:14:00.000 so it's going to be a number of years before they 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.000 were able to start that project. 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:08.800 I think it's 2025 is the date in regards to that construction. 00:14:08.800 --> 00:14:10.880 So that would delay the spending and utilize 00:14:10.880 --> 00:14:15.200 that for the aesthetics on I-35 for the embossment 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.040 of the medallions and beautification. 00:14:18.040 --> 00:14:22.160 So we'd be sitting on that for four or five years. 00:14:22.160 --> 00:14:24.800 So that's the downside of that. 00:14:24.800 --> 00:14:29.960 So we do have $600,000, but don't have the $290,000 yet. 00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:35.560 We have a meeting next week with GCA regarding the grant. 00:14:35.560 --> 00:14:39.600 And so those are the two options that we're 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:41.000 thinking about right now and wanted 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.800 to get some feedback from the Bond Oversight Committee 00:14:43.800 --> 00:14:46.840 in what your preferred direction would be. 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:54.240 Thanks, Gary. 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:55.040 So thoughts? 00:14:55.040 --> 00:14:59.840 Janet, are you on? 00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:01.840 Yeah. 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:02.840 Are you on? 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:04.480 OK, good. 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:05.680 Can you hear me? 00:15:05.680 --> 00:15:06.600 Yeah. 00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:08.640 OK, good. 00:15:08.640 --> 00:15:12.040 Gary, this is Brain. 00:15:12.040 --> 00:15:12.680 Oh, go ahead. 00:15:12.680 --> 00:15:18.960 Did traffic have any thoughts about putting a sculpture 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:19.880 in that roundabout? 00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:27.200 Hang on a second. 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:29.680 She's getting over to the computer. 00:15:29.680 --> 00:15:30.160 OK. 00:15:30.160 --> 00:15:38.680 Hello. 00:15:38.680 --> 00:15:41.480 Becky Devaney, City Engineer. 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:45.040 This traffic department is happy to coordinate with the Parks 00:15:45.040 --> 00:15:46.720 Department and a sculpture. 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:49.560 This is a typical type situation that 00:15:49.560 --> 00:15:51.040 has been used in other cities. 00:15:51.040 --> 00:15:52.680 So if that's something that the committee 00:15:52.680 --> 00:15:58.160 would like to consider, we would absolutely look into it. 00:15:58.160 --> 00:16:01.480 I was just curious if that was-- 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:06.080 having participated in the event of driving around 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.920 the roundabout on numerous occasions, 00:16:08.920 --> 00:16:11.800 I was just curious if that was any kind of a safety 00:16:11.800 --> 00:16:16.000 concern of having a monument or a sculpture 00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.880 in the middle of that. 00:16:18.880 --> 00:16:22.280 The roundabout at Bonnie Bray is larger in nature 00:16:22.280 --> 00:16:26.000 than maybe the other roundabout that's located at Hinkle. 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:28.080 And so it does have the ability to have 00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:29.360 a structure in that area. 00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:34.960 But obviously, sight distance and the considerations 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:37.600 would be put into play for safety concerns. 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:39.520 We would want to make sure that everyone still 00:16:39.520 --> 00:16:41.360 has the appropriate sight distance all the way 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:46.200 around the roundabout from not only the vehicular movements, 00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:50.840 but then also the pedestrian traffic or bicycle traffic 00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:51.680 is in that area. 00:16:51.680 --> 00:16:53.200 So those would be all things that 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:55.640 would be put into consideration. 00:16:55.640 --> 00:16:57.600 If we decided to go that route of putting 00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:59.240 a monument in that location, we would 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.320 look into all those things from a safety perspective also. 00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:04.480 Thank you. 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:07.520 Absolutely. 00:17:07.520 --> 00:17:12.600 Gary, what were the committee's thoughts on-- 00:17:12.600 --> 00:17:16.240 what's an example of Carroll Boulevard and Dallas Drive? 00:17:21.600 --> 00:17:23.400 Are you asking me? 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:23.920 Yes. 00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:25.640 OK, sorry, I missed that. 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:29.520 So the thought process, we'd put two or three-- 00:17:29.520 --> 00:17:31.440 actually, probably three or four-- 00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:36.320 pads along that roadway on Carroll on the east side. 00:17:36.320 --> 00:17:38.840 And we could actually put temporary art there 00:17:38.840 --> 00:17:39.480 if we wanted to. 00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:41.880 And we could rotate it out every couple of years 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.880 and basically lease artwork from artists 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:47.880 that could display their artwork. 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:50.680 And then we'd have a constant changeover. 00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:53.280 Or we could go out and actually purchase it 00:17:53.280 --> 00:17:57.720 and put those three or four sprinkled along that right away. 00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:59.800 And there's a trail that follows that as well 00:17:59.800 --> 00:18:03.320 to provide that experience for both the people walking 00:18:03.320 --> 00:18:05.760 and driving that corridor. 00:18:05.760 --> 00:18:08.400 So we're talking, like, between south of University 00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.800 down to Congress Street, that area? 00:18:11.800 --> 00:18:13.360 Yes, approximately, yes. 00:18:13.360 --> 00:18:18.520 And Brandon also asked about Dallas Drive. 00:18:18.520 --> 00:18:19.680 What are your thoughts there? 00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:21.520 Dallas and Teasley, if you remember, 00:18:21.520 --> 00:18:24.480 there is an old right of way that used to be there. 00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:26.800 About a year and a half ago, we wanted to remove that 00:18:26.800 --> 00:18:29.000 and put some landscaping in there, 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:31.440 put some benches and some seating in there. 00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:33.920 And the thought process is we would put a pad out there 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:38.640 and put a structure in that park to help beautify that, 00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:40.880 something that probably a little bit on the brighter side 00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:42.640 so you could see it. 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:46.840 But that was the thought process of putting a pad or a foundation 00:18:46.840 --> 00:18:49.920 there that we could put a sculpture. 00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:52.400 OK, anyone? 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:53.880 Eric? 00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:58.080 I guess, to me, it sort of looks like a decision 00:18:58.080 --> 00:19:03.040 between some investments that would be where local residents 00:19:03.040 --> 00:19:07.520 would be often versus something that is more of a-- 00:19:07.520 --> 00:19:12.040 call it marketing slash general beautification 00:19:12.040 --> 00:19:14.600 to let people know who are driving through Denton, 00:19:14.600 --> 00:19:19.720 that this is our city and we're proud of it, right? 00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:23.560 My preference would be for the first, 00:19:23.560 --> 00:19:26.800 for putting it where our residents are. 00:19:26.800 --> 00:19:30.200 But I would certainly defer to the Public Art Committee 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.800 because I think they deal with those questions a lot. 00:19:33.800 --> 00:19:36.120 Just out of curiosity, is the match 00:19:36.120 --> 00:19:41.800 for the potential funding along 35, 00:19:41.800 --> 00:19:44.080 does that require a local match? 00:19:44.080 --> 00:19:46.720 Would it require the entire amount 00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:49.000 that we have available and that sort of thing? 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:51.240 So we're going to be meeting with TxDOT. 00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:53.520 So basically, there is no match. 00:19:53.520 --> 00:19:58.560 But if there's things above and beyond what their base options 00:19:58.560 --> 00:20:00.280 are that they will provide and fund, 00:20:00.280 --> 00:20:02.760 we would have to find above and beyond that. 00:20:02.760 --> 00:20:03.720 OK. 00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:07.960 Yeah, I just-- especially when you think of the Bonnebray 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:14.560 roundabout, and well, that could be sort of a way to really 00:20:14.560 --> 00:20:19.000 activate that space with Razor Ranch South coming in, 00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:21.360 drawing people over through that area 00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:24.720 and being something to remember and enjoy 00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:26.400 as we're going through our town. 00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:30.440 And also, I don't know if this is the specific parcel you're 00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:33.520 referring to on the Eagle and Elm area, 00:20:33.520 --> 00:20:38.040 but it's kind of an older triangle 00:20:38.040 --> 00:20:41.960 that was recently changed for the sidewalk and the drainage. 00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:43.560 Is that what we're talking about there 00:20:43.560 --> 00:20:45.320 on that northeast corner? 00:20:45.320 --> 00:20:48.040 Yeah, there's two right-of-ways that we've improved. 00:20:48.040 --> 00:20:50.400 Dallas and Teasley has been completed, 00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:52.920 and they both had old abandoned right-of-ways. 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:58.840 And then Eagle and Elm is just right there at 377. 00:20:58.840 --> 00:21:00.520 They had an old right-of-way as well, 00:21:00.520 --> 00:21:05.520 and we're actually currently moving dirt on that property 00:21:05.520 --> 00:21:07.480 for improvement and beautification. 00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:08.120 OK. 00:21:08.120 --> 00:21:09.600 Yeah, when I think of that, I think 00:21:09.600 --> 00:21:13.920 that has a big opportunity to kind of be an entrance 00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:17.200 to downtown, if you will, as people are coming in 00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:22.000 from the south and be sort of a gathering place potentially 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:23.760 for some of those apartments and things that 00:21:23.760 --> 00:21:25.680 have been built down there. 00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:28.400 So those are just my thoughts. 00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:29.400 Thanks, Eric. 00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:32.560 Randy, Janet, any thoughts? 00:21:32.560 --> 00:21:36.240 Yeah, I mean, personally, I think the-- 00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:38.760 I look at it more-- 00:21:38.760 --> 00:21:42.600 the highway medallions are great. 00:21:42.600 --> 00:21:47.760 But if it's going to be unknown time and unknown, 00:21:47.760 --> 00:21:50.600 what the cost is actually going to be, 00:21:50.600 --> 00:21:54.040 I think we probably ought to just take the burden to hand 00:21:54.040 --> 00:21:58.320 and say, hey, we have a place to use it. 00:21:58.320 --> 00:22:00.720 The bond funds are authorized. 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.000 I don't want to hang on to them for another five years. 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:06.600 Janet, how about you? 00:22:06.600 --> 00:22:16.440 She may not be hearing us. 00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:21.160 So with that, sounds like there's kind of a sense here. 00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:23.800 Could I get a motion for one of those two options? 00:22:29.320 --> 00:22:31.040 For a vote or just for direction? 00:22:31.040 --> 00:22:33.040 Well, let me ask, Cassie, you wanting a vote 00:22:33.040 --> 00:22:34.920 or you just wanting feedback? 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:36.520 We just need direction. 00:22:36.520 --> 00:22:38.920 I think that sense is option one. 00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:45.080 We can move forward with planning that. 00:22:45.080 --> 00:22:47.800 We'll run back through the public art committee. 00:22:47.800 --> 00:22:51.280 And then the $290,000 we get from the GCA, 00:22:51.280 --> 00:22:54.360 we'll continue to work with TXOT to see if that's an option. 00:22:54.360 --> 00:22:56.640 We definitely need to figure out what the time frame is 00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:58.160 on that when we meet with them. 00:22:58.160 --> 00:22:59.600 In regards to how quickly they want 00:22:59.600 --> 00:23:02.640 that to be utilized as well. 00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:04.760 And if we needed to do something down the road 00:23:04.760 --> 00:23:08.080 for the complement, the GCAA, we could always 00:23:08.080 --> 00:23:10.480 put that in the next bond package. 00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:12.720 It's going to be years before that's done. 00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:19.640 OK, is that what you needed, Gary? 00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:22.720 Yes, and make sure I didn't have another slide down. 00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:23.720 I had one other slide. 00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:25.280 Just let me bring that back up. 00:23:25.280 --> 00:23:26.600 Can you see that? 00:23:26.600 --> 00:23:29.280 Nope, let me re-share it. 00:23:29.280 --> 00:23:41.840 The last slide was the 2019 bond program. 00:23:41.840 --> 00:23:45.800 I mentioned this earlier on the 2014 bond program 00:23:45.800 --> 00:23:47.440 for land acquisition. 00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:50.920 We do have $5 million, and we're working with real estate 00:23:50.920 --> 00:23:55.640 on some due diligence and offers for potential park property 00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:57.040 for future park space. 00:23:57.040 --> 00:24:02.360 And we continue to work with local developers 00:24:02.360 --> 00:24:05.920 on their projects to try to acquire park space 00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:08.120 in their properties and their development 00:24:08.120 --> 00:24:10.120 and hopefully provide connectivity 00:24:10.120 --> 00:24:12.880 to other parcels and other city assets, 00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:20.240 whether it's park space, trails, neighborhoods, major roadways. 00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:21.160 And that's all I had. 00:24:25.080 --> 00:24:27.440 Thanks, Gary. 00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:29.480 Capital Projects. 00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:34.440 Next up, we have Rachel Wood from Capital Projects. 00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:36.320 We'll be doing a joint presentation. 00:24:36.320 --> 00:24:45.120 And I'm just looking for where the presentation is saved. 00:24:45.120 --> 00:24:52.920 Do you need me to share it? 00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:55.160 That might get challenging, just because I need to drive 00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:57.160 for the majority of the slides. 00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:04.600 There we go. 00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:26.840 So similar to the previous presentations we've given you, 00:25:26.840 --> 00:25:31.400 we'll go through the financial updates of each bond program 00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:36.040 first before we get into the detailed project updates. 00:25:36.040 --> 00:25:38.280 And then Rachel's going to go over some project management 00:25:38.280 --> 00:25:40.560 and process improvement updates as well. 00:25:40.560 --> 00:25:42.960 So I'm going to go through some of those first. 00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:45.480 And then Rachel's going to go over some project management 00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:48.000 and process improvement updates as well. 00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:50.600 And then Rachel's going to go over some project management 00:25:50.600 --> 00:25:52.640 and process improvement updates as well. 00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:54.960 And then Rachel's going to go over some project management 00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:56.600 updates from Capital Projects. 00:25:56.600 --> 00:26:05.240 You can see from the charts that we've broken out 00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:08.920 the 2012 bond and the 2014 bond program 00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:12.600 to show you really how much has been spent 00:26:12.600 --> 00:26:15.560 and is still remaining from each bond program. 00:26:15.560 --> 00:26:17.080 And I do want to remind you this is just 00:26:17.080 --> 00:26:21.240 for the street improvement part of the bond program. 00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:27.520 There's additional CO issuances that will be sold this year. 00:26:27.520 --> 00:26:29.440 They're included in our reimbursement ordinance 00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:31.720 but haven't officially been sold yet. 00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:41.080 And then the 2019 street bond program, we're still at 1%, 00:26:41.080 --> 00:26:48.520 but have future projects coming down the pipeline 00:26:48.520 --> 00:26:52.040 to start spending this money allocated for street projects. 00:26:52.040 --> 00:26:58.440 OK, thank you, Cassie. 00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:00.000 So good afternoon, bond committee. 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:02.920 I'm Rachel Wood, Deputy Director of Capital Projects. 00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:05.000 And as Cassie mentioned, this is really 00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:08.120 going to flow similarly to previous presentations 00:27:08.120 --> 00:27:10.640 that Becky Devaney and myself have given to the bond 00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:13.680 committee, providing updates on the status of projects. 00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:16.320 And then at the end, we'll talk about some process improvements 00:27:16.320 --> 00:27:20.320 that we have going on to improve the efficiency of the projects 00:27:20.320 --> 00:27:22.080 that we're delivering. 00:27:22.080 --> 00:27:25.640 So first, we'll go through the street reconstruction bond, 00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:29.480 the status of how we are delivering the 434 segments 00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:32.760 from the 2012 and 2014 bond. 00:27:32.760 --> 00:27:34.960 So we're pleased to announce that when 00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:39.120 you saw this chart at the last meeting, 00:27:39.120 --> 00:27:41.840 we were projecting to complete eight segments 00:27:41.840 --> 00:27:44.920 during the first quarter of 2021. 00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:47.280 Thanks to the excellent work of our project managers 00:27:47.280 --> 00:27:50.680 and our contractors, we've actually completed 11 segments. 00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:54.040 So just to kind of keep things clear for the remainder 00:27:54.040 --> 00:27:56.480 of the next two years-- and we are still 00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:59.040 projecting to complete all of the remaining segments 00:27:59.040 --> 00:28:02.520 by quarter four of calendar year 2022-- 00:28:02.520 --> 00:28:04.520 we're just going to keep the same numbers 00:28:04.520 --> 00:28:08.280 and just kind of show with color differentiations what's 00:28:08.280 --> 00:28:10.200 been completed and what's been remaining, 00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:13.040 just because I know it can get confusing trying to do the math 00:28:13.040 --> 00:28:14.920 and look from presentation to presentation 00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.880 to compare how many segments we have remaining. 00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:21.640 So a lot of exciting progress has been made. 00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:23.900 We've actually got one of our projects. 00:28:23.900 --> 00:28:25.280 We had a pre-construction meeting 00:28:25.280 --> 00:28:27.280 for what we're calling the outsource bundle that 00:28:27.280 --> 00:28:30.280 consists of 47 different segments. 00:28:30.280 --> 00:28:32.400 We had that earlier this week and had a community 00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:35.320 meeting on that project two weeks ago with our project 00:28:35.320 --> 00:28:37.040 manager, Dustin Draper. 00:28:37.040 --> 00:28:38.840 And then we've got a portion of what 00:28:38.840 --> 00:28:41.920 we're calling our 2020 bundle that's 00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:46.440 going to council on June 8 for consideration of the construction 00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:47.480 contract. 00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:50.960 And it will go into construction shortly thereafter. 00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:53.480 So other than that, there aren't a ton 00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:56.880 of updates other than we've got a lot of active construction. 00:28:56.880 --> 00:28:59.160 2019 Street Reconstruction Project 00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:04.560 is on track to complete in quarter four of 2021. 00:29:04.560 --> 00:29:07.440 And that does include Windsor Drive. 00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:10.880 And we do still have the note that there 00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:13.760 are seven segments that are being programmed 00:29:13.760 --> 00:29:16.600 as parts of other projects. 00:29:16.600 --> 00:29:19.000 Becky and I actually had a conversation yesterday 00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:19.880 with TextDOT. 00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:21.960 We should be getting some additional information 00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:25.120 from them very soon on Trinity Road 00:29:25.120 --> 00:29:28.120 and the timing of TextDOT's Trinity Bridge project 00:29:28.120 --> 00:29:31.080 because we're trying to sync those projects up. 00:29:31.080 --> 00:29:34.200 For Mulberry Street, which includes two segments, 00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:36.840 that's going to be a part of the Pecan Crate Tributary 00:29:36.840 --> 00:29:39.440 for phases three and four projects. 00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:43.080 We did submit a funding request as a part of our CIP budget 00:29:43.080 --> 00:29:45.800 request this year for additional funding 00:29:45.800 --> 00:29:47.320 to fully fund that project. 00:29:47.320 --> 00:29:49.000 So really, that timing is going to be 00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:52.000 dependent on identifying those drainage funds that we 00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:54.920 need to complete that project. 00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:58.000 On Westgate, we've got a community meeting coming up 00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:01.560 May 13 and then a presentation to city council 00:30:01.560 --> 00:30:04.320 through a work session on May 18 where 00:30:04.320 --> 00:30:07.160 we're going to be talking about the scope and some potential 00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:10.680 options to improve connectivity in the Westgate area 00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:14.960 in the broader context of Denton High School's new location, 00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:17.800 a significant amount of multifamily and single family 00:30:17.800 --> 00:30:20.320 residential that's going on in the area, 00:30:20.320 --> 00:30:23.120 plus the upcoming 35 widening project. 00:30:23.120 --> 00:30:26.200 So we've got a lot of good traction on that. 00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:27.880 Once we get some direction regarding 00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:30.680 what the scope of that project should entail, 00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:32.880 we'll begin budgeting accordingly 00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:35.640 and then develop a final design and ultimately go 00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:39.840 to construction on that project as well. 00:30:39.840 --> 00:30:43.760 So going through our 2014 bond Proposition 1 projects, 00:30:43.760 --> 00:30:46.480 I'm not going to go through every single project. 00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:49.000 I know you've seen this slide a couple of times. 00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:52.600 So all I'm going to do is highlight a few updates. 00:30:52.600 --> 00:30:55.440 Updates include-- we actually had a really productive 00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:55.960 meeting. 00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:58.400 Our project manager, Kyle Pedigo, 00:30:58.400 --> 00:31:01.480 met with Union Pacific Railroad, one of their consultants, 00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:04.120 Vinish, and Kimley Horn this morning. 00:31:04.120 --> 00:31:07.000 And it seems like we are still on track 00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:10.440 for completion of the downtown quiet zones 00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:13.600 by the end of calendar year 2021. 00:31:13.600 --> 00:31:16.320 There is, of course, the hang up that ultimately 00:31:16.320 --> 00:31:18.280 the activation of the quiet zones 00:31:18.280 --> 00:31:20.480 is on Union Pacific Railroad. 00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:23.160 But we did at least get some verbal confirmation 00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:25.960 that we're following all the steps that we need to follow. 00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:28.600 And that project is being delivered in concert 00:31:28.600 --> 00:31:30.840 with the downtown storm sewer project 00:31:30.840 --> 00:31:34.480 that project manager, Kyle Pedigo, is also delivering 00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:37.400 currently in the downtown area. 00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:40.520 New to this slide is the mingo quiet zones. 00:31:40.520 --> 00:31:43.840 And those are the quiet zones that kind of hug mingo road 00:31:43.840 --> 00:31:45.760 from fish trap to frame. 00:31:45.760 --> 00:31:47.800 I won't name every intersection. 00:31:47.800 --> 00:31:51.240 But city council recently approved a design contract 00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:55.840 with Bridge Farmer to design those intersections. 00:31:55.840 --> 00:31:58.840 And so once we've got the design in a firmer opinion 00:31:58.840 --> 00:32:00.920 and probable construction costs, we'll 00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:03.200 then look at what the remaining budget we have. 00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:09.240 I believe we had about $930,000 from the 2014 bond earmarked 00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:10.280 for that project. 00:32:10.280 --> 00:32:12.840 And so just knowing that it's been several years 00:32:12.840 --> 00:32:15.040 since that original estimate was developed, 00:32:15.040 --> 00:32:17.600 we most likely will need to identify additional funds. 00:32:17.600 --> 00:32:20.680 But we'll know for sure once we've got that design completed. 00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:24.040 But we are excited about that project getting delivered. 00:32:24.040 --> 00:32:27.440 And it's being delivered as part of the overall TWU area 00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:31.680 program that project manager Tracy Beck is managing. 00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:35.400 A part of that project is also the Rudel extension at mingo. 00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:38.600 So the same council meeting where city council approved 00:32:38.600 --> 00:32:42.440 the contract with Bridge Farmer for the mingo road quiet zones, 00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:45.880 they also approved a contract to go to 30% design 00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:47.520 for that project. 00:32:47.520 --> 00:32:51.520 And what we plan to do is later this calendar year 00:32:51.520 --> 00:32:55.800 have a presentation where we get feedback from bond committee, 00:32:55.800 --> 00:32:58.240 also get feedback from council on what 00:32:58.240 --> 00:33:01.880 the scope of the TWU area program should be. 00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:04.480 There are several projects that are bond funded, 00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:06.200 several projects that are also in need 00:33:06.200 --> 00:33:08.680 from an infrastructure project, and some projects that 00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:12.120 have been requested from a pedestrian safety perspective 00:33:12.120 --> 00:33:14.480 by Texas Women's University. 00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:16.360 And so we want to get some feedback on how 00:33:16.360 --> 00:33:19.800 we prioritize those projects and which ones we should look 00:33:19.800 --> 00:33:21.720 at funding and delivering first. 00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:24.320 They're definitely all needed and just need to figure out 00:33:24.320 --> 00:33:27.280 the best way to prioritize those projects. 00:33:27.280 --> 00:33:29.240 The only other thing I'll note on this slide 00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:31.560 is Becky and I've been having some really positive 00:33:31.560 --> 00:33:34.640 conversations with the cog with Denton County. 00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:38.000 So as we look at funding needs for the different remaining 00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:40.200 phases of Bonnie Bray, we're hopeful 00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:43.320 that as Denton County is preparing a potential bond 00:33:43.320 --> 00:33:46.280 program and as we're looking at some additional funding 00:33:46.280 --> 00:33:48.440 opportunities from the cog that we 00:33:48.440 --> 00:33:51.280 can use those funds to augment and ultimately complete 00:33:51.280 --> 00:33:54.240 Bonnie Bray as that is one of our top priority projects 00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:54.960 to get completed. 00:33:54.960 --> 00:34:04.920 So next, going into some of our proposition three projects, 00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:08.360 most noteworthy on this is we have removed Eagle Drive 00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:09.600 Drainage from the list. 00:34:09.600 --> 00:34:11.280 That is a completed project. 00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:14.440 And thanks to the work of our business services team, 00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:16.440 as well as the finance accounting team, 00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:19.160 we have closed that project out and actually used that 00:34:19.160 --> 00:34:22.400 as a model for closing out projects. 00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:24.320 It is a pretty complicated process 00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:27.200 to close out and ultimately capitalize a project. 00:34:27.200 --> 00:34:29.880 And so we've got an SOP in the works. 00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:31.400 And I'm delighted to say that we're 00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:33.280 going to have several more projects coming down 00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:36.360 the pipeline that we're going to be ready to close out very soon. 00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:37.760 So it's been great that we've been 00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:39.680 able to get that process documented just 00:34:39.680 --> 00:34:41.160 so that we know all the steps that we 00:34:41.160 --> 00:34:45.200 need to go through in order to properly close out projects. 00:34:45.200 --> 00:34:48.040 So just only other thing I'll note here, 00:34:48.040 --> 00:34:49.760 as I mentioned, downtown storm sewer, 00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:51.640 we're doing a lot of coordination with that. 00:34:51.640 --> 00:34:54.120 And the Quiet Zone project, and it 00:34:54.120 --> 00:34:58.240 is on track to be completed by quarter 3 of 2021. 00:34:58.240 --> 00:35:00.240 They're currently looking at potentially starting 00:35:00.240 --> 00:35:02.680 the punch list for closing out that project 00:35:02.680 --> 00:35:04.320 around the September time frame. 00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:09.360 So trying to be more like parks. 00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:12.360 You will notice in upcoming bond committee presentations 00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:15.440 that we're going to try to have more pictures and help you 00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:17.440 see the status of some of these projects 00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:19.840 rather than just showing you the boring Gantt chart 00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:21.360 that you've seen on previous slides. 00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:23.800 So this is our first step in that direction, 00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:26.400 and we're going to try to have the next presentation be even 00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:27.160 more engaging. 00:35:27.160 --> 00:35:29.840 We've talked maybe about videos, no promises at this point, 00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:31.280 but that is a potential. 00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:33.400 But just wanted to highlight some of those projects 00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:37.040 that we are nearing completion on right now. 00:35:37.040 --> 00:35:38.880 One of those is West Hickory Street. 00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:42.600 We're currently projecting a quarter 3 calendar year 2021 00:35:42.600 --> 00:35:44.040 completion date. 00:35:44.040 --> 00:35:46.920 Recently completed is the London Dairy Sidewalk, 00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:50.760 which is a part of the 2018 sidewalk improvements project. 00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:53.720 That was actually completed in April, 00:35:53.720 --> 00:35:56.520 and we've had a lot of feedback from residents, particularly 00:35:56.520 --> 00:35:59.040 those whose students walk to McMath Middle School, 00:35:59.040 --> 00:36:01.320 that that's really helped the safety for those students 00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:03.120 walking to school. 00:36:03.120 --> 00:36:06.200 I've already mentioned the 2019 Street Reconstruction Project 00:36:06.200 --> 00:36:08.800 Windsor Drive is a part of that project, 00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:12.960 and we are on track for a quarter 4 2021 completion date 00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:13.880 there. 00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:15.800 Hickory Creek Road, phase one, I'm 00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:18.880 going to call it all but complete at this point, 00:36:18.880 --> 00:36:22.840 but we will complete it this quarter, quarter 2 2021. 00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:26.040 And then we are doing some final punch list items on West 00:36:26.040 --> 00:36:28.400 Hercules right now, but that project 00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:32.480 is set to wrap up later this month. 00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:34.280 So hopefully we'll be able to come back to you 00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:36.680 with some big completed signs like Gary 00:36:36.680 --> 00:36:40.840 had during our next bond committee presentation. 00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:44.720 Couple of exciting updates on the 2019 bond program. 00:36:44.720 --> 00:36:48.040 So actually at the April 27th city council meeting, 00:36:48.040 --> 00:36:50.600 the city council approved construction contracts 00:36:50.600 --> 00:36:54.520 for what we're calling the MCFC and LOFT. 00:36:54.520 --> 00:36:57.800 That's our first two bid packages of the 2019 bond 00:36:57.800 --> 00:36:58.920 program. 00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:03.040 That was also our first project that we selected the contractor 00:37:03.040 --> 00:37:05.640 using competitive sealed proposals. 00:37:05.640 --> 00:37:08.160 We took that approach just so that it wasn't low bid. 00:37:08.160 --> 00:37:11.120 We were actually able to take in other factors, 00:37:11.120 --> 00:37:13.880 including the qualifications of the contractors, 00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:16.760 into account as we were selecting the contractors. 00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:19.880 So we are now under contract with SEMA. 00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:24.560 And these are what we're calling our early out packages. 00:37:24.560 --> 00:37:26.080 I'm knocking on wood as I say that, 00:37:26.080 --> 00:37:29.520 but they're relatively simple roadway construction projects 00:37:29.520 --> 00:37:31.560 that do not include any utilities. 00:37:31.560 --> 00:37:33.440 And so we're hopeful that we're going 00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:35.520 to be able to complete those projects by the end 00:37:35.520 --> 00:37:37.080 of the calendar year. 00:37:37.080 --> 00:37:39.840 And then work is currently underway 00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:43.480 for the design of the first phase of Southeast Denton. 00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:46.400 And so we plan to advertise that project. 00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:49.440 It's 22 segments of the Southeast Denton neighborhood, 00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:51.280 primarily roadway construction, but there 00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:52.920 will be some utilities. 00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:55.680 We're also looking at sidewalks and streetlights 00:37:55.680 --> 00:37:57.400 for those first 22 segments. 00:37:57.400 --> 00:38:00.160 So we're hoping to advertise by the end of the calendar year 00:38:00.160 --> 00:38:01.640 for that project. 00:38:01.640 --> 00:38:03.400 And then in concert with that, we've 00:38:03.400 --> 00:38:07.880 got phase B, or phase two, which includes 51 segments 00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:09.480 of the Southeast Denton neighborhood. 00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:12.600 We're looking at delivering those 51 segments 00:38:12.600 --> 00:38:15.360 using the construction manager at risk methodology. 00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:19.240 So the design contractor and the construction manager 00:38:19.240 --> 00:38:21.360 would be selected at the same time, 00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:24.040 so that the construction manager can provide feedback 00:38:24.040 --> 00:38:27.440 on constructability and give us a little more predictability 00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:28.720 in terms of price. 00:38:28.720 --> 00:38:30.840 And so we hope to have that advertised 00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:32.960 by the end of the calendar year as well. 00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:36.280 So a lot of really exciting traction 00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:38.040 in the Southeast Denton neighborhood. 00:38:38.040 --> 00:38:40.560 We plan on having another community meeting later 00:38:40.560 --> 00:38:41.640 this summer. 00:38:41.640 --> 00:38:44.400 And so we're really excited about the opportunity 00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:47.080 to use the construction manager at risk methodology, 00:38:47.080 --> 00:38:49.560 particularly for those 51 segments, 00:38:49.560 --> 00:38:53.560 just because it's going to require a lot of coordination 00:38:53.560 --> 00:38:56.360 and in a very tight geography. 00:38:56.360 --> 00:38:59.880 So having one contractor, one design firm 00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:01.960 will be really helpful for all the coordination 00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:06.120 with franchise utilities and other city departments, 00:39:06.120 --> 00:39:09.000 just to ensure that we're minimizing the impact 00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:11.240 to residents and getting them the highest quality 00:39:11.240 --> 00:39:14.600 infrastructure in the process. 00:39:14.600 --> 00:39:16.520 Bonnie Bray, phase six. 00:39:16.520 --> 00:39:19.520 Right now we're under right of way acquisition. 00:39:19.520 --> 00:39:21.240 We have several properties that we're still 00:39:21.240 --> 00:39:23.760 in negotiations with. 00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:24.840 We have regular meetings. 00:39:24.840 --> 00:39:26.760 We actually have one later today, I believe, 00:39:26.760 --> 00:39:28.680 with Denton Independent School District, 00:39:28.680 --> 00:39:30.360 kind of talking about this project, 00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:34.840 talking about the scope given the Denton High School Project. 00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:40.840 And so we are currently tracking for a 2023 completion 00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:43.480 date for Bonnie Bray phase six. 00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:46.920 The completion date is 100% dependent on that right 00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:48.880 of way acquisition right now. 00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:50.600 We do hope to be ready to go to bid 00:39:50.600 --> 00:39:52.000 by the end of this calendar year, 00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:55.680 hopefully this fall for the construction contract. 00:39:55.680 --> 00:39:58.120 But just want to note that we are doing everything 00:39:58.120 --> 00:40:01.600 in our power to get the portions of Bonnie Bray 00:40:01.600 --> 00:40:03.800 immediately adjacent to the new high school 00:40:03.800 --> 00:40:05.520 open as quickly as possible. 00:40:05.520 --> 00:40:08.400 And as a part of that May 13th Westgate meeting, 00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:10.800 we will also be talking with residents 00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:13.480 about the status of the Bonnie Bray phase six project, 00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:17.040 just because it's in such close proximity to the Westgate 00:40:17.040 --> 00:40:20.360 project and all of the connectivity kind of comes 00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:24.040 into play, particularly around the new high school. 00:40:24.040 --> 00:40:25.640 The last thing I'll note on this slide 00:40:25.640 --> 00:40:28.280 is right now we've got some schedule uncertainty 00:40:28.280 --> 00:40:32.200 for Ryan Road and Hickory Creek Road phase three. 00:40:32.200 --> 00:40:35.080 I know Becky's mentioned in a few previous presentations 00:40:35.080 --> 00:40:37.920 that we were getting $10 million from the COG 00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:39.920 to help fully fund that project. 00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:41.720 And that is the case. 00:40:41.720 --> 00:40:44.880 We actually submitted what's called a tip modification, 00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:48.000 just kind of formally earmarking that $10 million 00:40:48.000 --> 00:40:51.240 from the COG on April 23rd. 00:40:51.240 --> 00:40:55.200 But because of the funding source of that $10 million, 00:40:55.200 --> 00:40:57.000 there are some schedule impacts. 00:40:57.000 --> 00:41:00.800 And so knowing that both the portion of Hickory Creek Road 00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:05.160 phase three touches 1830 and Ryan Road 00:41:05.160 --> 00:41:09.680 will connect 2181 to 1830, we want to minimize impact 00:41:09.680 --> 00:41:12.920 and ensure there's that connectivity from 2181 00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:14.040 to 1830. 00:41:14.040 --> 00:41:15.680 And so we don't want both projects 00:41:15.680 --> 00:41:18.360 to be under construction at the same time. 00:41:18.360 --> 00:41:21.920 So we should know by the end of this month what truly 00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:24.560 the schedule impact is going to be of that additional $10 00:41:24.560 --> 00:41:27.320 million that we've gotten from the COG. 00:41:27.320 --> 00:41:30.880 And after we have that confirmation on schedule impact, 00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:33.240 we're working with the design firm, HDR, who's 00:41:33.240 --> 00:41:36.800 designing the Hickory Creek Road phase three project right now. 00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:40.400 We'll be able to determine, is Ryan Road going to go first, 00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:44.000 or is Hickory Creek Road phase three going to go first? 00:41:44.000 --> 00:41:45.800 And so by our next bond committee meeting, 00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:47.600 we'll be able to share that with you. 00:41:47.600 --> 00:41:49.680 But just wanted to be transparent right now 00:41:49.680 --> 00:41:51.720 that the dates that we have listed, 00:41:51.720 --> 00:41:53.720 there's just some uncertainty just because we're 00:41:53.720 --> 00:41:56.040 wanting to make sure we're coordinating those projects, 00:41:56.040 --> 00:41:58.680 minimizing impact to residents, and making sure 00:41:58.680 --> 00:42:01.120 that we're maximizing those outside dollars that we're 00:42:01.120 --> 00:42:05.320 getting from the COG. 00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:06.840 So really quickly, I'll talk about some 00:42:06.840 --> 00:42:09.080 of the exciting project management and process 00:42:09.080 --> 00:42:11.880 improvement updates we have going on. 00:42:11.880 --> 00:42:14.320 I've mentioned several community meetings already. 00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:16.840 I think this is the only week in May 00:42:16.840 --> 00:42:19.800 where we don't have a community meeting on a Thursday night. 00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:22.040 So if you're ever bored on a Thursday night, 00:42:22.040 --> 00:42:23.720 I can almost guarantee you we're going 00:42:23.720 --> 00:42:25.720 to be having a community meeting. 00:42:25.720 --> 00:42:27.760 We've got a kind of renewed emphasis 00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:29.920 in concert with our public affairs department 00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:32.640 to make sure that we're not just talking to residents 00:42:32.640 --> 00:42:34.320 as we're ready to go to construction, 00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:37.480 but that we're also talking to residents early on in the design 00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:41.080 process so that residents have an opportunity to impact it. 00:42:41.080 --> 00:42:43.480 Once we've already selected the construction contractor, 00:42:43.480 --> 00:42:46.080 well, yes, we could make change orders in the field. 00:42:46.080 --> 00:42:47.800 Those changes are much more complicated, 00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:48.880 much more expensive. 00:42:48.880 --> 00:42:50.800 And so we're really wanting to hear earlier 00:42:50.800 --> 00:42:55.080 on from the residents as these projects are getting mobilized 00:42:55.080 --> 00:42:58.000 what they'd like to see, concerns they may have, 00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:00.640 if there is some sequencing considerations 00:43:00.640 --> 00:43:03.360 that we need to make as we're scheduling these projects out. 00:43:03.360 --> 00:43:06.160 And so as I mentioned, if you're ever 00:43:06.160 --> 00:43:08.920 curious on a Thursday night what you're going to be doing, 00:43:08.920 --> 00:43:11.680 you're always welcome to join us at one of our virtual community 00:43:11.680 --> 00:43:12.800 meetings. 00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:15.760 We're also developing tools for improved coordination 00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:17.680 with our franchise utilities. 00:43:17.680 --> 00:43:20.920 Becky and I are having regular conversations with Atmos. 00:43:20.920 --> 00:43:23.160 We're looking at what we can do from a city resource 00:43:23.160 --> 00:43:25.400 perspective to improve those coordinations 00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:28.480 and have somebody in-house that can help kind of serve 00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:31.920 as the primary point of contact just so that Atmos knows truly 00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:33.720 what our priorities are. 00:43:33.720 --> 00:43:36.680 We're working on getting Atmos an updated list of all 00:43:36.680 --> 00:43:38.640 of our capital projects just so that they 00:43:38.640 --> 00:43:42.240 know what the current sequencing is because that sequencing is 00:43:42.240 --> 00:43:45.400 dynamic and so that they know who they should be contacting 00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:48.200 should they have questions. 00:43:48.200 --> 00:43:50.880 I've mentioned several times the construction manager at risk 00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:52.880 alternative delivery method in addition 00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:55.080 to the Southeast Denton neighborhood being delivered 00:43:55.080 --> 00:43:56.600 with construction manager at risk. 00:43:56.600 --> 00:43:59.800 We're also looking at Ryan Road being 00:43:59.800 --> 00:44:02.600 delivered with construction manager at risk. 00:44:02.600 --> 00:44:05.400 And we've got Frisa Nichols on contracts 00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:08.840 kind of serving as our primary consultant helping us navigate 00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:11.920 the development of the contract templates 00:44:11.920 --> 00:44:13.800 and then also getting staff trained 00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:16.360 on the nuances of the construction manager at risk 00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:20.000 methodology both from a contracting perspective 00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:22.720 as well as from a project delivery perspective. 00:44:22.720 --> 00:44:25.880 So we had a formal kickoff on February 1st. 00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:28.920 We had an internal training that several cross-departmental 00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:32.560 representatives attended on April 21st. 00:44:32.560 --> 00:44:35.040 And we're hopeful that within the month or so 00:44:35.040 --> 00:44:37.440 we're going to have that contract template finalized. 00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:39.800 And then as I mentioned, our plan right now 00:44:39.800 --> 00:44:43.600 is to advertise by the end of the calendar year 00:44:43.600 --> 00:44:47.160 for construction manager for the Southeast Denton phase 2 00:44:47.160 --> 00:44:47.920 project. 00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:49.880 So we're really excited about the progress 00:44:49.880 --> 00:44:51.600 that we're making there. 00:44:51.600 --> 00:44:53.960 And then depending on what we decide with Ryan Road, 00:44:53.960 --> 00:44:55.800 we'd be advertising for Ryan Road 00:44:55.800 --> 00:44:58.600 should we decide for it to go before Hickory Creek Road phase 00:44:58.600 --> 00:45:00.800 3 shortly thereafter. 00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:02.960 The other really exciting and important effort 00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:05.760 that we've got going on that I wanted to mention for bond 00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:08.920 committee is we've got an external review of our estimates 00:45:08.920 --> 00:45:09.960 at completion. 00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:12.640 And because some of these projects 00:45:12.640 --> 00:45:15.040 do have some shelf life to them, because we've 00:45:15.040 --> 00:45:17.400 got some new team members, we're wanting 00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:20.280 to make sure that we have a third party look at the cost. 00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:22.720 We know we've got some significant increases 00:45:22.720 --> 00:45:26.600 in materials that are projected and escalation, 00:45:26.600 --> 00:45:28.240 just given the economic conditions 00:45:28.240 --> 00:45:29.360 that we have right now. 00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:31.400 And so we're wanting to make sure that we're 00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:34.120 factoring in that escalation appropriately. 00:45:34.120 --> 00:45:36.720 And so that's something that our team is working closely 00:45:36.720 --> 00:45:39.160 with the finance team on, making sure 00:45:39.160 --> 00:45:42.480 that our estimates at completion are as accurate as possible. 00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:45.880 The firm that we've selected is not only reviewing our projects, 00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:48.920 they're also training our team on cost estimation best 00:45:48.920 --> 00:45:52.200 practices, and they're helping us develop templates 00:45:52.200 --> 00:45:54.360 that we can use for future projects 00:45:54.360 --> 00:45:56.240 so that we've got that in-house talent. 00:45:56.240 --> 00:45:58.360 But we do have them on call. 00:45:58.360 --> 00:46:00.640 And so we're trying to prioritize those projects, 00:46:00.640 --> 00:46:02.680 particularly those ones that are time sensitive 00:46:02.680 --> 00:46:06.040 without external funding first. 00:46:06.040 --> 00:46:09.320 And then we're working through the list of other projects 00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:11.000 that have not yet gone to construction 00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:13.760 just to make sure that we have adequate budgets 00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:18.080 for the full completion of those projects. 00:46:18.080 --> 00:46:20.840 And not listed on the slide, but just one other note, 00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:23.320 we are in the process of implementing our project 00:46:23.320 --> 00:46:26.160 management software system and hope 00:46:26.160 --> 00:46:28.560 to have that rolled out by the end of the calendar year 00:46:28.560 --> 00:46:29.080 as well. 00:46:29.080 --> 00:46:31.520 We're working with the finance department, 00:46:31.520 --> 00:46:34.040 working with our business services department, 00:46:34.040 --> 00:46:37.360 and several other utilities as well has been involved in that. 00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:38.760 And so that's really going to help 00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:42.560 us have a far more sophisticated way of keeping tabs 00:46:42.560 --> 00:46:45.520 on the status of our projects, having the financials 00:46:45.520 --> 00:46:47.320 available in the same location. 00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:49.640 And so we're really excited about that 00:46:49.640 --> 00:46:52.480 and hope to be able to show off that new tool to the bond 00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:53.840 committee at a future meeting. 00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:56.800 So with that, I'll stop talking and gladly answer 00:46:56.800 --> 00:46:58.080 any questions that you have. 00:46:58.080 --> 00:47:02.920 Thanks, Rachel. 00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:04.080 Great presentation. 00:47:04.080 --> 00:47:09.960 Did you say who is the cost estimating company you're using? 00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:11.600 Sure, it's OCMI. 00:47:11.600 --> 00:47:13.360 They also go by O'Connor. 00:47:13.360 --> 00:47:16.080 So they do have a Dallas office, but they're actually 00:47:16.080 --> 00:47:19.320 the firm that does a lot of the estimation for Las Vegas, 00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:23.040 Nevada, several large cities in California. 00:47:23.040 --> 00:47:24.840 And then they also do Henderson County. 00:47:24.840 --> 00:47:28.240 But they are an expanding presence in Texas as well. 00:47:28.240 --> 00:47:31.800 And they've been using local numbers and local cost 00:47:31.800 --> 00:47:34.280 estimates as they're preparing the estimates that they've 00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:34.840 done for us. 00:47:34.840 --> 00:47:37.160 We've been very impressed with the work that they've done. 00:47:37.160 --> 00:47:39.520 And they're actually very fast in their review process. 00:47:39.520 --> 00:47:44.680 I'm doing some construction projects right now. 00:47:44.680 --> 00:47:50.160 And I had to lock in steel prices just a month ago at risk 00:47:50.160 --> 00:47:54.480 because if I didn't, I'd have experienced a 20% increase. 00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:57.320 Is that something we're going to be concerned about in this bond 00:47:57.320 --> 00:48:01.480 program, especially for 2019, where we based it 00:48:01.480 --> 00:48:04.760 on these estimates, which we already have inflated, 00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:08.400 but those inflation factors are pretty much-- 00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:12.720 Yes, that's absolutely why we've got OCMI on board right now. 00:48:12.720 --> 00:48:15.800 And we're having to have those tough conversations internally 00:48:15.800 --> 00:48:21.320 right now around how much do we want to budget additionally. 00:48:21.320 --> 00:48:23.880 And then also talking about the sequencing of our projects. 00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:25.480 That's something that we're looking at, 00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:28.480 particularly as we look at Hickory Creek and Ryan Road. 00:48:28.480 --> 00:48:31.760 What's the cost of pausing one of those projects going to be? 00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:36.440 And we're looking at 5 and 1/2% potentially per year. 00:48:36.440 --> 00:48:39.480 And that's probably a conservative estimate. 00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:42.480 I'd say it's very conservative. 00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:46.440 Any other questions or comments for Rachel? 00:48:46.440 --> 00:48:48.280 Eric? 00:48:48.280 --> 00:48:53.280 Yeah, I guess more a comment/request for the future. 00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:55.680 I was trying to go through and figure out 00:48:55.680 --> 00:48:59.760 what the funding and process status was 00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:02.640 for each of the individual sections of Bonnie Bray. 00:49:02.640 --> 00:49:08.640 And it seems like the estimates versus the funding buckets 00:49:08.640 --> 00:49:11.560 combine different segments of that project. 00:49:11.560 --> 00:49:14.200 So it's very difficult for me to follow. 00:49:14.200 --> 00:49:15.280 Maybe it's just me. 00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:18.360 But I guess in the future, if we could just 00:49:18.360 --> 00:49:22.280 get sort of a more per segment breakdown instead 00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:25.880 of these lumps of this much money for phases five, six, 00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:30.120 and seven, and that sort of thing, that would help me. 00:49:30.120 --> 00:49:31.880 Sure, we can work on that. 00:49:31.880 --> 00:49:34.520 And that is a various to observation, Eric. 00:49:34.520 --> 00:49:36.640 And so that's something that we are working on. 00:49:36.640 --> 00:49:38.840 They are very commingled. 00:49:38.840 --> 00:49:40.840 But I think that's something that we can find a way 00:49:40.840 --> 00:49:42.880 to maybe more graphically represent 00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:45.920 the different funding buckets, the status of the funding, 00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:47.240 the status of the project. 00:49:47.240 --> 00:49:48.320 That's something we can certainly 00:49:48.320 --> 00:49:50.120 work with the project manager and the finance 00:49:50.120 --> 00:49:52.040 team on for next time. 00:49:52.040 --> 00:49:52.520 Thanks. 00:49:52.520 --> 00:49:58.320 Any other questions? 00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:01.880 OK, Cassie, back to you, ma'am. 00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:02.400 Thank you. 00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:04.440 So next up, we have Scott Gray here 00:50:04.440 --> 00:50:06.400 to talk about the facility projects. 00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:14.040 Just give him a minute to get up and running. 00:50:14.040 --> 00:50:24.360 Chair, members of the committee, good afternoon. 00:50:24.360 --> 00:50:27.040 Scott Gray, director of airport and facilities. 00:50:27.040 --> 00:50:29.480 And give me just a moment to pull up the presentation. 00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:39.940 OK. 00:50:39.940 --> 00:50:58.360 OK, just a couple of projects to update you on. 00:50:58.360 --> 00:51:00.760 Pleased to be back again to give you 00:51:00.760 --> 00:51:04.240 the good news on these projects. 00:51:04.240 --> 00:51:07.600 The first is the 2014 bond proposition number two, 00:51:07.600 --> 00:51:10.040 which included fire station number 00:51:10.040 --> 00:51:12.640 three, the construction of the new facility. 00:51:12.640 --> 00:51:14.960 Plus, as you can see there on the right, 00:51:14.960 --> 00:51:19.280 and then plus the demolition of the older facility 00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:21.640 and construction of the new one, which is the artist rendering 00:51:21.640 --> 00:51:23.280 at the bottom. 00:51:23.280 --> 00:51:27.280 Happy to inform the group that that station is complete. 00:51:27.280 --> 00:51:30.480 The fire folks have moved into the new building, 00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:34.240 are very excited about its layout and usability. 00:51:34.240 --> 00:51:35.600 So we're pleased with that. 00:51:35.600 --> 00:51:41.120 We have a few final items to complete on that project 00:51:41.120 --> 00:51:42.600 to close it out. 00:51:42.600 --> 00:51:44.480 So probably the next time I'm with you, 00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:46.840 it will be the last report on that project 00:51:46.840 --> 00:51:48.720 to finish this one off. 00:51:48.720 --> 00:51:56.200 And lastly is the 2019 bond project, 00:51:56.200 --> 00:51:58.520 which I believe I brought to you last month-- 00:51:58.520 --> 00:52:00.560 or excuse me, the last meeting. 00:52:00.560 --> 00:52:04.040 This was the project for the police headquarters, 00:52:04.040 --> 00:52:07.040 the substation, and the firing range. 00:52:07.040 --> 00:52:09.640 Obviously the headquarters in one location and the other two 00:52:09.640 --> 00:52:13.120 are co-located off Vintage Drive. 00:52:13.120 --> 00:52:14.640 The notice to proceed on that project 00:52:14.640 --> 00:52:18.760 was January 15 of this year. 00:52:18.760 --> 00:52:21.480 It is moving along fairly well. 00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:25.320 A number of challenges, as is typical with what 00:52:25.320 --> 00:52:27.000 is called a messy renovation, which 00:52:27.000 --> 00:52:29.400 is the headquarters building. 00:52:29.400 --> 00:52:32.440 But nothing that the team hasn't worked through. 00:52:32.440 --> 00:52:35.040 At this point, the projections for completion 00:52:35.040 --> 00:52:37.120 is still unchanged. 00:52:37.120 --> 00:52:40.440 And the budget is still intact with all three 00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:43.120 of these portions of the projects. 00:52:43.120 --> 00:52:45.880 To date, there's been about $47.3 million 00:52:45.880 --> 00:52:49.720 of GOCOs issued from a cash flow perspective 00:52:49.720 --> 00:52:52.200 to get us through the end of this fiscal year. 00:52:52.200 --> 00:52:54.840 And then finance will assist us with the rest of the funding 00:52:54.840 --> 00:52:58.160 to complete our construction needs for all three 00:52:58.160 --> 00:52:58.960 of these projects. 00:52:58.960 --> 00:53:02.560 So very short and to the point with two 00:53:02.560 --> 00:53:05.360 very exciting projects that we're happy to report on. 00:53:05.360 --> 00:53:07.800 And I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. 00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:14.400 Thanks, Scott. 00:53:14.400 --> 00:53:18.040 Any questions for Scott? 00:53:18.040 --> 00:53:20.040 All right. 00:53:20.040 --> 00:53:20.520 Thank you. 00:53:20.520 --> 00:53:25.880 Cassie, back to you, ma'am. 00:53:25.880 --> 00:53:28.440 That is all the presentations we have on that item. 00:53:28.440 --> 00:53:33.200 So we can, if you want to, move on to item C. 00:53:33.200 --> 00:53:33.960 Sure. 00:53:33.960 --> 00:53:39.040 So item C, BOC 21-07, receive a report, hold a discussion, 00:53:39.040 --> 00:53:41.840 give staff direction regarding the reallocation 00:53:41.840 --> 00:53:45.720 of funds associated with the 2014 bond election. 00:53:45.720 --> 00:53:48.240 And I'm going to pass it over to our assistant director 00:53:48.240 --> 00:53:49.600 of finance, Nick Vincent. 00:53:49.600 --> 00:53:52.280 He's going to do a short presentation for you. 00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:56.000 And we'll ask for direction on the reallocation request. 00:53:56.000 --> 00:53:57.280 Good afternoon, bond committee. 00:53:57.280 --> 00:53:59.480 Let me get the presentation pulled up really quickly. 00:53:59.480 --> 00:54:10.040 So we are in front of you today to seek approval 00:54:10.040 --> 00:54:13.480 to reallocate some project dollars that were associated 00:54:13.480 --> 00:54:16.800 with the 2014 bond proposition. 00:54:16.800 --> 00:54:19.600 Originally, that proposition is approved by voters, 00:54:19.600 --> 00:54:22.120 included a transportation facility. 00:54:22.120 --> 00:54:25.440 Originally had a budget of $1.5 million. 00:54:25.440 --> 00:54:27.800 This has come forward to the bond committee 00:54:27.800 --> 00:54:32.400 in 2018 for reallocation based on where that money currently 00:54:32.400 --> 00:54:36.000 resides, which is the 651 South Mayhill project. 00:54:36.000 --> 00:54:38.240 Staff is requesting to reallocate that money 00:54:38.240 --> 00:54:41.160 to another facility owned by the city, which 00:54:41.160 --> 00:54:44.640 is the service center facility off of Rootdale. 00:54:44.640 --> 00:54:47.240 So currently, the money we are requesting to reallocate 00:54:47.240 --> 00:54:55.400 is $1,249,612.07. 00:54:55.400 --> 00:54:56.960 That's it. 00:54:56.960 -->

right, Cassie? 00:56:04.840 --> 00:56:07.120 Yes. 00:56:07.120 --> 00:56:11.600 DOC 21-008, receive a report, hold discussion, 00:56:11.600 --> 00:56:15.720 provide information related to 2019 on the election street 00:56:15.720 --> 00:56:19.480 improvements plan issuance schedule. 00:56:19.480 --> 00:56:21.680 So I am going to present this item. 00:56:21.680 --> 00:56:24.000 I have a very short presentation. 00:56:24.000 --> 00:56:27.280 You already heard Rachel present on kind 00:56:27.280 --> 00:56:32.160 of moving the sequence of the 2019 bond program segments 00:56:32.160 --> 00:56:34.520 up, which is why we are asking-- 00:56:34.520 --> 00:56:37.400 or we just wanted to give you an update of the bond timeline. 00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:41.040 So let me share my screen, and we will get started. 00:56:41.040 --> 00:56:51.960 So as Rachel mentioned, they have 00:56:51.960 --> 00:56:56.680 begun on two different segments-- 00:56:56.680 --> 00:57:02.120 well, not segments, the packages of the 2019 bond program. 00:57:02.120 --> 00:57:04.120 The contracts were approved April 27, 00:57:04.120 --> 00:57:07.720 and so they're estimated to begin construction 00:57:07.720 --> 00:57:09.160 beginning in June. 00:57:09.160 --> 00:57:13.720 And so with that, they're going to need additional funding. 00:57:13.720 --> 00:57:18.840 We had planned to fund those projects next year, 00:57:18.840 --> 00:57:21.320 but we will be funding them this year instead. 00:57:21.320 --> 00:57:24.840 And then Hickory Creek Road, phase three. 00:57:24.840 --> 00:57:28.840 So you heard her talk about the connection between Hickory 00:57:28.840 --> 00:57:31.840 Creek and Ryan Road. 00:57:31.840 --> 00:57:35.080 We're still waiting on the final review, 00:57:35.080 --> 00:57:37.160 but we want to have the money just 00:57:37.160 --> 00:57:40.640 in case this project needs to get kickstarted this year. 00:57:40.640 --> 00:57:43.560 And so we adjusted the bond timeline accordingly. 00:57:43.560 --> 00:57:50.880 And so you can see the top part of the slide 00:57:50.880 --> 00:57:54.840 shows the original bond issuance timeline, 00:57:54.840 --> 00:57:58.200 and the highlighted portions on the bottom show the adjustment. 00:57:58.200 --> 00:58:04.040 Basically, we've moved up some funding from next year's bond 00:58:04.040 --> 00:58:07.320 issuance to this year to be able to start some of those projects 00:58:07.320 --> 00:58:10.640 earlier than what we initially planned. 00:58:10.640 --> 00:58:14.680 And it's a total of $4.3 million is 00:58:14.680 --> 00:58:18.920 what we moved up from next year, and that's $2.3 million 00:58:18.920 --> 00:58:21.720 for the street reconstruction and $2 million 00:58:21.720 --> 00:58:25.640 for Hickory Creek Road. 00:58:25.640 --> 00:58:30.640 If we do go back to council for our bond parameters ordinance, 00:58:30.640 --> 00:58:34.440 June 8th, and if we do have the information from TxDOT 00:58:34.440 --> 00:58:36.760 at that time about Hickory Creek, 00:58:36.760 --> 00:58:40.480 the final determination, we will adjust the timeline accordingly. 00:58:40.480 --> 00:58:43.400 But this is our tentative plan as of right now. 00:58:43.400 --> 00:58:45.400 So just wanted to give the committee an update. 00:58:49.000 --> 00:58:52.120 OK, thank you. 00:58:52.120 --> 00:58:55.880 All right, any other questions or comments for Cassie 00:58:55.880 --> 00:58:57.400 or anyone else on the call? 00:58:57.400 --> 00:59:03.920 All right, seeing none, I guess we can adjourn.
