Item No. n
AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
SUBJECT
Consideration of a Resolution authorizing the Release of a Special Assessment Lien against
property currently owned by Jo Ann Wade Lambert located at 1801 Eubank Street.
ITEM SUMMARY
In 1927, the City of Georgetown levied assessments for paving in and around the
downtown/Old Town area. An ordinance was recorded in Volume 8, Page 37 of the
Mechanics Lien Records of Williamson County, Texas, listing all property owners assessed
and a requirement for payment within four (4) years of the assessment.
The subject property is in the process of being sold and Georgetown Title Company
has requested a release of the assessment lien(s) on behalf of the current owner, Jo Ann
Wade Lambert. Due to the fact that the City does not have financial records dating back to
1927, we are unable to determine whether a payment was ever made or what amount, if
any, may still be outstanding.
Due to the lack of financial records dating back to 1927, in the past, the City Council
has approved the release of several of these liens against properties assessed by the same
ordinance. Therefore, this request has been processed in the same manner.

The Rabbit Hill Pump station is currently capable of pumping approximately 120 gpm. Population
projections indicate that a pump station capable of pumping over 5,000 gpm will be required for this
service area. The project consists of the design of four pump vertical turbine pump station with
electrical building and instrumentation improvements including VFD. The pump station will initially
be equipped with one 150 gpm pump and three 1850 gpm pumps. Depending on growth in the
service area, the proposed project should be able to serve the area for several years or approximately
2000 connections, before needing to be expanded with an elevated storage and pump.
As discuss and decided in our meeting with Finance, Michael Hallmark, and Jim Briggs we will
engineer this project in this fiscal year and award the construction contract at the start of FY
2006/07.
Attached is the CDM Amendment to Agreement for Professional Services for the Rabbit Hill Pump
Station. The scope and fee is reasonable and I recommend taking this Amendment to GUS and City
Council. Once approved by City Council Systems Engineering will have the Amendment signed and
issue a notice to precede CDM. Please let me know if you have any questions.

stainless steel piping, install a new stand pipe for the backwash and the relocation of the control
panels, and the new revise scope will be the design of replacement plastic piping with 12 -inch

EXHIBIT 1
SCOPE OF WORK
Project Need: The Southside Water Treatment Plant provides 3.25 MGD of treated groundwater

plant being taken offline with resulting loss of treatment capacity. This project will replace the
plastic pipe that has experienced the most wear and breaks with stainless steel pipe.
Project Description: The project consists of the design of replacement 12 -inch stainless steel
backwash supply piping and feed water piping.
Final Design Phase. The basic services for the final design phase includes:
1) Preparing construction drawings and specifications showing the character and extent of the
project based on the accepted preliminary engineering documents.
2) Preparing and famishing to the OWNER a revised opinion of probable total project costs
based on the final drawings and specifications.
3) Furnishing the necessary engineering data required to apply for regulatory permits from
local, state, or federal authorities. This is distinguished from and does not include detailed
applications and supporting documents for government grant-in-aid or planning grants that
would be furnished as additional services.
4) Preparing basic documents related to construction contracts for review and approval by the
OWNER (and the OWNERts legal and other advisors). These may include contract
agreement forms, general conditions and supplementary conditions, invitations to bid,
instructions to bidders, insurance and bonding requirements, and preparation of other
contract -related documents.
5) Furnishing to the OWNER a maximum of five copies of drawings, specifications, and other
contract documents.
Bidding Phase. Services under this phase include:
1) Assisting the OWNER in advertising for and obtaining bids for each separate prime
construction contract, maintaining a record of prospective bidders to whom bidding
documents have been issued, attending pre-bid conferences, and receiving and processing
deposits for bidding documents.
2) Issuing addenda as appropriate to interpret, clarify, or expand the bidding documents.
3) Assisting the OWNER in determining the qualifications and acceptability of prospective
constructors, subcontractors, and suppliers.
