AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
SUBIECT:
Consideration and possible action to authorize the renewal of a lease by the Davidson Brothers of ±21
acres of the future Mankins Crossing Wastewater Treatment Plant Site for agricultural purposes.
ITEM SUMMARY:
On February 24, 2004, the City entered into a lease with the Davidson Brothers of approximately 21.0
acres of land out of the 33.16 -acre tract the City purchased in 2003 for the future Mankins Crossing
Wastewater Treatment Plant. At the time the City purchased the property, the Davidson Brothers had
been cultivating hay on the property for many years, so they requested that the City enter into a lease
with them for that purpose so they could continue farming the property. The lease provides the City
with the benefit of regular maintenance of the property and an annual lease payment in the amount of
$210.00. The lease expired on January 14, 2005 without either party addressing its expiration, although
Buster Davidson recently indicated that he sent a check to the City last year for the annual lease payment,
but it was never cashed. Mr. Davidson indicated that he would be willing to send another check for last
years lease payment, along with this year's, if necessary. Attached for Council's consideration is the
Davidson' January 17, 2006 request for renewal of the lease, as well as a redlined and clean version of the
lease reflecting the Davidsons' requested changes.

Terry Calhoun, Jim Briggs and City officials
James A. Davidson, Jr., (Buster) & Dennis Davidson, dba Davidson Bros.
Request the renewal of the lease of approximately 21 ac., owned by the City of
Georgetown near Mankins Crossing. This lease will be for the 2006 Crop year.
We would prefer to date the lease From 9/1/05 thru 8/31/06. Fall season of the
year is the time for soil preparation for the following crop year. This date change will
allow for that.
Also, we would also like to extend the termination length. to 120 days or more.
The reason for this is the large amount of money invested per acre in a crop. (corn - $150
& wheat $100+). This will better allow us to get a crop off before termination.
We will be glad to work with you any way we can.
Thanks
Buster

will not change from "Austin Avenue" and, therefore, should not cause hardship to

RE: BU 35 (Austin Avenue) — Request for City Resolution
Dear Mr. Benz:
The City of Georgetown authorized a resolution on June 14, 2005 accepting the transfer
of maintenance and jurisdiction of Business 35 from FM 2243 to FM 2338.
Subsequent to this resolution, TxDOT's Transportation Planning and Programming
Division (TP&P) determined that the remaining ends of the former business route be re-
designated to State Highway Spur. Individual State Spur designations will exist on each
end of the former BI 35-M.
Because the original resolution only described the transfer of maintenance and
jurisdiction and not the intent for the remaining end segments, TP&P is requesting a
resolution from the City supporting the re -designation of the end segments.
Should you have any questions, please contact me at 512-930-6004.

AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
SUBJECT
Consideration and possible action for approval for award of bid for three-phase electrical
substation transformers to Waukesha Electric Systems, Waukesha Wisconsin, in the amount of
$2,724,123.
ITEM SUMMARY
Bids were received for the purchase of three-phase electrical substation transformers on
December 14, 2005. The staff recommendation to council was to award this bid to the low bidder
submitting a satisfactory and conforming bid, Delta Star, Inc. of San Carlos, California on January
24, 2006. As part of the requirement of the bid Delta Star was required to provide a performance
bond equal to the purchase order amount of $2,240,628.00.
The City of Georgetown Purchasing Department has been notified by Delta Star that they
cannot provide the performance bond as outlined in the bid documents as they are unable to obtain
the bond due to business conditions being that they currently have bonds outstanding in excess of
the value of the company. Because of this they are unable to meet the purchasing requirements for
this bid and withdraw from consideration.
Staff then prepared to negotiate the award with the second low bidder, Kuhlman Electric
Corporation. During discussions with them they explained that they could not guarantee delivery
within the timeframe requirement of the 4w quarter of 2006 that is required by the City of
Georgetown for the interconnect with TXU and the additional load being served by these facilities.
Staff then began discussions with the third bidder Waukesha Electric Systems to check that
there had not been any price escalation and that they would hold their bid price, they could meet
the performance bonding requirement and the original delivery times as stated within the bid
documents.
Waukesha Electric Systems can and will meet all requirements of the bid with no exceptions
taken. Therefore staff recommends award of the bid for three phase transformer units to Waukesha
Electric Systems for three units for the bid amount of $2,724,123.00
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
In discussions with Kuhlman, their sales representative relayed to Mike Mayben and Marsha
Iwers that they are now experiencing cost increases of 30% just in the steel components for this
equipment not taking into account the copper used in the windings. He is currently bidding units
for 2007 delivery in excess of $1,000,000 per unit and only holding the bid for 30 days.
GUS BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
GUS Board recommended approval at the January 17, 2006 meeting for the original item.
Approved 6-0 (Eason Absent) Due to time constraints for delivery being driven by order
