Twitter. Brianna Moore, GCA’s Social Media Consultant who currently manages GCA’s

“Aye” 7; “Nay” 0

5089. (#5)

Next Item on the Agenda was the consideration to approve a change order to the contract

with Garney for Discharge to Bay (DTB) Effluent Pump Station Upgrade Project at the Bayport

Facility. In August 2019, the Board awarded a contract to Garney Companies, Inc. for

$1,430,300 for the construction of the Bayport Facility’s Discharge-to-Bay Pump Station

Upgrade Project. The project provides the installation of three upgraded DTB Pumps, a new

pump discharge header, and new valves. For scheduling purposes, the DTB Pumps and new

Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) were procured previously under separate Board awarded

contracts. In October 2019, Boyer, Inc. began serving as the electrical contractor; providing the

equipment and labor to install the required electrical equipment to support the DTB Pump Station

Upgrade Project. Garney incorporated Boyer’s electrical requirements into its baseline

schedule, identified impacts to critical path items that pushed out the completion date and

subsequently generated a new schedule. As a result, Garney has issued a 37-day Notice of

Impact to the DTB construction contract. State law permits the Board to authorize change orders

not exceeding 25% of the original contract for changes in plans or specifications necessary for

Page 8: Gulf Coast Authority · 1. Working alongside Garney is DN Tanks, the Boardawarded contractor to construct T - 2005. DN Tank’s construction schedule has slipped approximately 6 months

817

performance of the contract, for changes in quantity of the work performed and for changes in

the materials, equipment and supplies to be furnished. Texas Water Code § 49.273(i). The total

estimated additional cost is $76,053, which will be added to the Discharge to Bay Effluent Pump

Station Upgrade Project and will be paid for out of the Bayport Revenue Fund. Staff

recommended the Board approve this change order. Director Standridge moved to approve the

change order to contract with Garney for Discharge to Bay Effluent Pump Station Upgrade

Project at the Bayport Facility. Director Matt seconded the motion. Whereupon, the motion was

carried by the following vote:

“Aye” 7; “Nay” 0

5090. (#6)

Next Item on the Agenda was the consideration to approve a change order to the contract

with Garney for the First Step Tank System Addition Project at the Bayport Facility. In January

2019, the Board awarded a contract to Garney Companies, Inc. for $11,958,950 for the

construction of the Bayport Facility’s First Step Tank System Addition system. The project

supports the installation of a complete working fifth First Step Tank (T-2005) system, which is

part of the Organic Capacity upgrades currently in progress at the facility, which are required to

meet anticipated customer expansions. In October 2019, the Board awarded a change order of

$613,831 to Garney to complete the PLC9A and PLC13 migration work for this project; which

expands the new PLC capacity required to support new Tank-2005 and future Tank T-2006. This

increased Garney’s contract to $12,572,781. A new revision is required to capture several

unforeseen project changes and partially replenish the contract’s construction allowance:

818

1. Working alongside Garney is DN Tanks, the Board awarded contractor to construct T-

2005. DN Tank’s construction schedule has slipped approximately 6 months due to

various issues during the foundation design stage, as well as field and quality control

challenges during construction. This has caused Garney’s construction schedule to

extend by the same duration in order to install the auxiliary equipment and piping around

the tank, which cannot be completed prior to T-2005 fabrication. Garney has issued a

160-day Notice of Impact to the First Step Tank System Addition construction contract,

totaling $758,110.

2. A modification to the electrical scope in response to the need to relocate the new Main

Lift Station electrical/pipe bridge to avoid conflicts with undocumented, discovered,

existing underground process pipelines. Rerouting existing cables to the PLC building is

also required for the PLC9A migration. Modifications include new conduit/cables and

their planned routes, duct banks, and pull boxes. Anticipated cost of this scope is

$324,641.

3. With the requirement to build Tank T-2005 with 40-feet deep auger cast piles instead of

a shallow foundation, modifications to the original design of the piping and pipe supports

for the adjacent equipment is required, to account for potential differential settlement. The

scope of this change includes expansion joints, supports, flanged connections, and

modifications to pier caps. Anticipated cost of this scope is $173,794.

4. Only $237,827 of the original $750,000 construction allowance remains to cover several

existing change requests addressing discovered field conditions. The amount of $399,293

will be added to partially replenish the allowance in anticipation of future field discoveries

associated with tie-ins, road modifications, and commissioning activities.

819

The total estimated additional cost is $1,655,838 and will be paid for out of the Bayport Revenue

Fund. This cost is 13.8% of the original contract, bringing the total percentage of change orders

to 19.0% ($2,271,641). State law permits the Board to authorize change orders not exceeding

25% of the original contract for changes in plans or specifications necessary for performance of

the contract, for changes in quantity of the work performed and for changes in the materials,

equipment and supplies to be furnished. Texas Water Code § 49.273(i). GCA Staff and the

Engineer of Record reviewed the cost breakdowns and recommended the Board approve this

change order in the amount of $1,655,838 to enable contract completion by December 2020.

Director Schultz moved to approve the change order to contract with Garney for the First Step

Tank System Addition Project at the Bayport Facility. Director Standridge seconded the motion.

Whereupon, the motion was carried by the following vote:

“Aye” 7; “Nay” 0

5091. (#7)

Next Item on the Agenda were Reports presented by: Kim Ontiveros reported an update

on emergency repair at the Bayport Facility; Phyllis Frank reported on the compliance issue at

Washburn Tunnel Facility; Diane Maloy reported on the frequency compliance issue at 40-Acre

Facility; Barry Baughier presented the Investment Report for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2020;

date of November 16, 2020. Along with her notice of retirement, General Manager and CEO,

Lori Traweek recommended Elizabeth Fazio Hale as her successor. The Board has requested

to schedule a Special Session meeting to discuss the recommendation of Elizabeth Fazio Hale

to be appointed the next General Manger and CEO. Director Schultz moved to accept the

General Manager’s notice of retirement date of November 16, 2020. Director Meaux seconded

the motion. Whereupon, the motion was carried by the following vote:

“Aye” 7; “Nay” 0

There being no further business, Director Meaux moved to adjourn the meeting at 6:17

TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS GULF COAST AUTHORITY FROM: Lori Traweek General Manager DATE: June 5, 2020 RE: AGENDA ITEM #3

Consider Approval of an Agreement to Transfer Part of GCA’s Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) to Provide Sewer Service in Chambers County to Trinity Bay Conservation District

The Hankamer Wastewater Treatment Plant is owned and operated by the Trinity Bay Conservation District (TBCD). TBCD has entered into an agreement with Chambers County to construct a new wastewater treatment plant at the site of the existing wastewater treatment plant, and the plant will have the capacity to provide wastewater treatment services both for properties and for existing TBCD utility customers that are within the Gulf Coast Authority (GCA) Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) area in Chambers County. TBCD requests that GCA transfer a portion of its CCN in Chambers County to it in order that TBCD may provide wastewater treatment services to the area. GCA does not have any operational facilities or customers within the CCN area that TBCD has requested GCA release to TBCD. GCA staff does not object to TBCD construction of the new wastewater treatment plant on TBCD property, nor does staff object to the TBCD providing sanitary sewer services to any customers in this area.

GCA staff recommends that the Board authorize an interlocal agreement to

transfer a portion of GCA’s CCN in the area of the Hankamer Wastewater Treatment Plant to TBCD so that TBCD may provide wastewater treatment services to this portion of Chambers County.
