(Miller) Suggested Action: Gexa is passing through ancillary costs absorbed during the February winter storm. Because the City is a part of TCAP there were no extreme energy rate fluctuations. However, the winter storm caused unprecedented peaks in the ERCOT ancillary service charge to every consumer within ERCOT. Ancillary charges are meant to ensure grid reliability, which change hourly. Typically, costs of ancillary services are small as there is often large amounts unused generation capacity. During the winter storm, ERCOT's electric grid lost about half of its total generation capacity. With little capacity in reserves, the price of electric capacity rose to levels never experienced in the ERCOT market. The City's lump sum payment is $482,585.

(“CoServ” or “Company”), filed its Statement of Intent to change gas rates at the Railroad Commission of Texas (“RRC”) and in all municipalities exercising original jurisdiction within its service area, effective January 23, 2021. CoServ is seeking to increase its gas rates on a system-wide basis by $9.6 million per year, and by $8,113,409 in the incorporated areas. This equates to an increase of 11.6% on total revenues, or 29.0% increase in base rates for the incorporated areas.

(“CoServ” or “Company”), pursuant to Subchapter C of Chapter 104 of the Gas Utility Regulatory Act, filed its Statement of Intent to change gas rates at the Railroad Commission of Texas (“RRC”) and in all municipalities exercising original jurisdiction within its service area, effective March 14, 2021. In a prior City action, CoServ’s rate request was suspended from taking effect for 90 days, the fullest extend permissible under the law. This time period has permitted the City, through its participation in the Steering Committee of Cities Served by CoServ, Ltd. (“CoServ Gas Cities”), to determine that the proposed rate increase and consolidation are unreasonable. Consistent with the recommendations of experts engaged by CoServ Gas Cities, CoServ’s request for a rate increase and consolidation of service areas should be denied. Accordingly, the purpose of this Resolution is to deny the rate change application proposed by CoServ. Explanation of “Be It Resolved” Sections: Section 1.This section finds that the Company’s application is unreasonable and should be denied. Section 2.This section requires CoServ to maintain its existing rates within the City. Section 3.This section states that City’s reasonable rate case expenses, through the CoServ Gas Cities, shall be reimbursed by CoServ. Section 4.This section recites that the Resolution was passed at a meeting that was open to the public and that the consideration of the Resolution was properly noticed. Section 5.This section provides that the City will notify counsel for CoServ and counsel for CoServ Gas Cities of the City’s action by sending a copy of the approved and signed Resolution to each counsel. 64 2 65 1 CITY OF THE COLONY RESOLUTION NO. 2021 - _______ RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF THE COLONY DENYING COSERV GAS, LTD.’S REQUESTED RATE INCREASE; REQUIRING THE COMPANY TO REIMBURSE THE CITY’S REASONABLE RATEMAKING EXPENSES; FINDING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION IS PASSED IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW; REQUIRING NOTICE OF THIS RESOLUTION TO THE COMPANY AND THE CITY’S LEGAL COUNSEL WHEREAS, the City of The Colony, Texas (“City”) is a gas utility customer of CoServ Gas Ltd.

Eleven (11) bids were received, and they ranged from a high bid of $1,660,500.00 to a low bid of $1,068,192.00. Quality Excavation, Ltd. was the low bidder. To verify Quality Excavation s qualifications, we have contacted the City of Rowlett, City of Frisco, Burgess and Niple, and Schaumburg & Polk who all have awarded and worked with Quality Excavation on similar projects. Additionally, Quality has successfully completed several projects for the City of The Colony within the last few years. We spoke with Mr. Thomas Harris an Engineer with the City of Rowlett concerning Quality performance on two of their improvement projects. These projects consisted of concrete street paving, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and water line placement. Mr. Harris emphasized that work was completed ahead of schedule and there was an overall approval on both projects. He also stated they worked well with Residents and City Inspectors and always conducted interactions with no issues. Mr. Harris mentioned that any change orders for these two projects was only to add additional work to the scope. In conclusion, Mr. Harris stated he would award projects to Quality Excavation again if they were the low bidder. We also spoke with Tin Nguyen an Engineer with the City of Frisco concerning Quality Excavation s performance on their Ohio Drive at Warren Parkway roundabout project. The project scope consisted of concrete paving and storm drain improvements. Mr. Nguyen stated that there was an overall approval of the completed work upon project conclusion and that the workmanship on both the paving utilities was good. When asked about working with Residents and City Inspectors Mr. Nguyen stated there was no issues and they were able to work together. Next, we spoke with Billy Wendland an Engineer from Burgess and Niple with regards to Quality Excavation s performance on their Whitley Road project in Watauga. The project scope consisted of concrete paving, residential driveways, sidewalks, storm drain improvements, and water line improvements. Mr. Wendland stated that he was the engineer of record on the project and that he 70 Mr. Ron Hartline, P.E. May 18, 2021 Page 2 approved of their work and that they completed the job on time. Mr. Wendland also emphasized that the workmanship on the paving and utilities was beyond satisfactory with no outstanding problems. When asked if any change orders were requested Mr. Wendland stated yes, however the work was necessary and the pricing was fair. Finally, Mr. Wendland mentioned that this project was through a neighborhood, so it had great impact on the Residents however Quality Excavation did a good job of communicating with them and the City Inspectors. Finally, we spoke with Jim Waldbauer an Engineer from Schaumburg and Polk regarding Quality Excavation s performance on their Alma Drive project in the City of Allen. The project scope consisted of adding a lane to a divided thoroughfare and minor utility work. Mr. Waldbauer stated the final product and workmanship was approved and acceptable with no outstanding issues. Mr. Waldbauer mentioned that Quality Excavation was able to meet all project deadlines and work with both Residents and City Inspectors. In conclusion, Mr. Waldbauer mentioned that Quality Excavation is a good contractor and they have completed many other projects Schaumburg and Polk has designed. Section 252.043 in the Local Government Code states if competitive sealed bids are received, the contract must be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder or to the bidder who provides goods or services at the best value for the municipality.

(Hartline) Suggested Action: Summary of Requests: Consider approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign a Construction Services Contract in the amount of $130,105.95 with KDA Contractors, Inc. for the Painter Street Cul-De-Sac Project. Background: City Council approved funding for the construction of the Painter Street Cul-De-Sac project in the 2020-2021 budget. Painter Street is currently a dead end street with no outlet or available turn around option at the end of the street. This street is a residential street with houses located on both sides of the roadway and a city park is also located at the end of this street. It is very inconvenient for residents and vendors with large service trucks and/or trailers to turn around on this street. It is also not possible for a Fire Apparatus to turn around and they are required to back all the way down the roadway to Baker Drive in the event a response is called on this street. This street does not meet the City Engineering Design Standards and/or Fire Apparatus turnaround standards. See photo showing the existing street without the cul-de-sac. The scope of work consists of the construction of a new cul-de-sac located at the east end of Painter Street. The design of the project was completed in-house by Engineering Staff. The construction work includes, but is not limited to, the placement of 6 thick reinforced street concrete pavement on a flex base subgrade, placement of new 4-inch thick reinforced concrete sidewalks, installation of 18-inch reinforced concrete pipe, a concrete flume and other drainage improvements. This project was advertised for bid and the project bids were opened on March 31, 2021. Eleven (11) bids were received and they ranged from a high bid of $208,200.30 to a low bid of $112,227.65. See attached Certified Bid Tabulation Summary. After contacting representatives provided from the lowest bidder MHB Construction, Inc., it was determined from discussions with those representatives that this contractor has had several problematic issues on projects awarded in the cities of Ft. Worth, Plano and Keller. After considering this company’s reputation, experience, manpower, equipment, and supervisory requirements on the provided services on projects for these three cities, city staff determined that MHB Construction, Inc. is not the lowest responsible bidder. See attached Engineering Reference Check letter for additional information. In awarding a contract to the lowest responsible bidder, a municipality may take into account a bidder’s experience, manpower, equipment, and supervisory requirements. Corbin v. Collin County Comm'rs Court, 651 S.W.2d 55 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1983, no writ). 76 Section 252.043 in the Local Government Code states if competitive sealed bids are received, the contract must be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder or to the bidder who provides goods or services at the best value for the municipality. After considering the purchase price, reputation, experience, manpower, equipment, and supervisory requirements of the bidders from the references that city staff contacted, staff has determined that KDA Contractors, Inc.is the lowest responsible bidder. See attached Engineering Reference Check letter for additional information regarding KDA Contractors, Inc. for this work. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the contract with KDA Contractors, Inc. in the amount of $130,105.95 to perform construction services for the Painter Street Cul-De-Sac project. With approval, the project is anticipated to start construction in July 2021 with an estimated completion in January 2022. Suggested Motion: I move to recommend approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign a Construction Services Contract in the amount of $130,105.95 with KDA Contractors, Inc. for the Painter Street Cul-De-Sac Project.

(Hartline) Suggested Action: Summary of Request: Consider approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to reject a bid in the amount of $738,175.00 with Atkins Brothers Equipment Company, Inc. for the Citywide Drainage Improvements Project. Background: The project’s scope of work consists of the installation of traffic rated (H-20) channel drains, HDPE pipes, various size Duraslot drains, grate inlets, curb inlets, roadway drainage improvements and/or other improvements to existing storm water systems throughout the city. This project will provide work order based construction services to assist in providing more effective drainage system operations in neighborhoods and/or roadways within the city limits of The Colony. Work for this contract will be provided through individual project work orders based on the availability of funds and in accordance with the successful Bidder’s unit cost bid schedule pricing. The project specification manual was completed in-house by engineering staff and the project was advertised for bid. The bids were opened on May 6, 2021 and two bids were received. One of these bids was an incomplete bid submission and did not meet the required City bidding requirements. The low bidder was Atkins Brothers Equipment Company, Inc. with a price of $738,175.00. Since this bid was much higher than the Design Engineer’s construction cost estimate and adequate funding is not currently available, staff recommends that this bid be rejected and the project be rebid at a future date. Recommendations: Staff recommends that the bid from Atkins Brothers Equipment Company, Inc. for the Citywide Drainage Improvements Project be rejected and the project be rebid at a future date. Suggested motion: I move to recommend approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to reject a bid in the amount of $738,175.00 with Atkins Brothers Equipment Company, Inc. for the Citywide Drainage Improvements Project.
