Resolutions
RS-18-013 Consider a memorandum/resolution authorizing the purchase of turnout gear for the Fire Department.
Staff comments: Brian Brank
Turnout gear is the protective ensemble worn by firefighters. National Fire Protection Association regulation 1851 establishes a usable lifespan for turnout gear of no more than ten years. The fire department has a need to purchase 46 sets of coats and trousers. Staff recommends the City Council authorize the purchase of 46 sets of turnout coats and trousers in the amount of $91,494 from NAFECO through TASB BuyBoard.
Motion was made by Councilmember Rivera to approve RS-18-013. Motion was seconded by Councilmember Okray. Motion carried unanimously.
RS-18-014 Consider a memorandum/resolution approving the interlocal mutual aid agreement for fire services.
Staff comments: Brian Brank
Mutual aid agreements supply fire department services with additional resources when a single incident or multiple incidents deplete all resources from any one entity. Entering into this agreement creates cooperation between the neighboring cities and the Killeen Fire Department to help mitigate large scale events for each entity. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Interlocal Mutual Aid Agreement, and authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the agreement.
Motion was made by Councilmember Fleming to approve RS-18-014. Motion was seconded by Councilmember Okray. Motion carried unanimously.
RS-18-015 Consider a memorandum/resolution awarding Bid No. 18-07 for a contract with Big Chief Dist. Co., Inc. to purchase unleaded gasoline for the Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport.
Staff comments: Matt Van Valkenburgh
The Aviation Department stocks and resells unleaded gasoline to the tenant rental car companies at the Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport. One sealed bid was received from Big Chief Dist. Co., Inc., Killeen, TX. This bid provides the required product at market price. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the contract with Big Chief Dist. Co., Inc. for the purchase of unleaded gasoline delivered to Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport; and authorize the City Manager to execute same, and all amendments or supplemental agreements within the amounts set by State and local law.
Motion was made by Councilmember Rivera to approve RS-18-015. Motion was seconded by Councilmember Okray. Motion carried unanimously.
RS-18-016 Consider a memorandum/resolution authorizing the execution of Change Order No. 18 to McLean Construction, Inc. for the Trimmier Road Widening Project.
Staff comments: David Olson
Change Order No. 18 represents the final reconciliation change order for the locally funded projects. The change order will reconcile the bid line items on the City of Killeen roadway portions of the project resulting in a final reduction in the project contract amount. City staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute Change Order No. 18 with McLean Construction, Inc., decreasing the contract in the amount of $89,716.96, resulting in a total contract amount of $7,715,855.29.
Motion was made by Mayor Pro-Tem Kilpatrick to approve RS-18-016. Motion was seconded by Councilmember Okray. Motion carried unanimously.
RS-18-017 Consider a memorandum/resolution authorizing acceptance of 24 tracts of land from the Texas Department of Transportation for portions of FM 439 that the City currently maintains.
Staff comments: David Olson
TxDOT Right of Way office undertook an effort to clean up some administrative transfers for sections of FM 439 from 16th Street to 38th Street and north from there along Westcliffe Road (Old FM 439) to the present FM 439 (East Rancier Avenue). The City of Killeen has been maintaining these sections of roadway for a number of years. It is recommended that the City accept these tracts of land because these tracts are within the city limits and not maintained by the state, these tracts comprise roadways that the City currently maintains, and it eliminates administrative confusion and makes the record consistent.
Motion was made by Councilmember Fleming to approve RS-18-017. Motion was seconded by Councilmember Nash-King. Motion carried unanimously.
Adjournment
With no further business, upon motion being made by Councilmember Okray, seconded by Councilmember Fleming, and unanimously approved, the meeting was adjourned at 5:15 p.m.
