DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
TO: Mayor Lioneld Jordan and City Council Members
FROM: Paul A. Becker,Finance Director
DATE: . February 18, 2009
SUBJECT: 2009 Ice Storm Damages
Recommendation
Staff recommends the attached budget amendment to appropriate funds for costs associated with the
ice storm disaster which the City experience beginning January 26, 2009. The staff also requests
permission for the Mayor to authorize the Finance Director to advance up to $1,000,000 on a
temporary basis from the General Fund to the Replacement and Disaster Relief Fund if necessary.
This advance is to be reimbursed when sufficient funds are available in the Replacement and
Disaster Fund.
Background
As we are all well aware, the City sustained extensive damage from an ice storm which began on
January 26, 2009. The initial costs to meet this emergency were absorbed by the City's operating
budgets which must be replenished to continue to provide essential City services throughout the year.
In addition to these costs, the costs to remove and dispose of debris will be substantial.
The effect of this storm has been declared a national disaster by the Governor and the President
allowing both FEMA and the Arkansas emergency management assistance funding to be made
available in the approximate ratio of 75% Federal, 12.5% State, and 12.5% Local.
In addition to the appropriation request of$4,000,000,staff requests that the City Council authorize
the Mayor, at the request of the Finance Director,to advance up to $1,000,000 from the General
Fund as a temporary loan to the Replacement and Disaster Relief Funds if necessary to address cash
flow needs. This temporary loan would be repaid when reimbursement funds are received in the
Replacement and Disaster Relief Fund from the appropriate State of Federal Agency. If and when a
General Fund loan(advance)is made,the City Council will be informed at the next available agenda
session and the status of that loan will be updated at each City Council Agenda Session until the loan
is fully repaid.
Budget Impact
The impact of this budget amendment is to appropriate an additional$4,000,000 to the Replacement
and Disaster Relief Fund with the City's estimated cost to be$500,000.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Fayetteville City Council
Mayor Lioneld Jordan
From: Don Marr, Chief of Staff
Date: 18 February, 2009
Subject: Approval of a contract with Solid Resources, Inc. in the amount of$483,690 for ice storm
debris removal monitoring, and approve a 20% contingency of$97,000.
RECOMMENDATION
City Administration recommends approval of a contract with Solid Resources, Inc in the amount of
$483,690 for ice storm debris removal monitoring, and approve a 20%contingency of$97,000.
BACKGROUND
This contract provides for the FEMA required monitoring and overwatch of the contractors who will be
conducting the actual debris removal throughout the City of Fayetteville. The debris monitors act as the
quality control/quality assurance inspectors who validate every load of debris at the point of pick up as
well as every load delivered to the debris disposal site.
DISCUSSION
The City received eight proposals 17 February, 2009. The selection committee reviewed all proposals,
developed a short list, and interviewed four proposers. The selection criteria were:
1.) Qualifications in relation to scope of work= 25%
2.) Experience, competence, & capacity for performance= 25%
3.) Proposed method of doing work= 15%
4.) Past performance= 15%
5.) Price= 20%
The committee identified proposers who excelled in the first four criteria, and then incorporated price
into the selection. The number of hours that the debris monitor will work is not under their control.
Neel Schaffer $ 953,400.00
Camp Dresser McKee $ 952,000.00
Beck Disaster Recovery $ 1,031,100.00
Solid Resources Inc. $ 483,690.00
Their effort is a direct result of the work methods used by the debris removal contractors. The
contractor must observe all vehicles being filled with debris and all loads delivered to the debris
collection site. In order to ensure equality when evaluating price, we compared the proposers using a
standard set of estimated hours. Using those numbers, estimated costs are below. This uncertainty is
why staff recommends the contingency for this contract be much larger than normal.
BUDGETIMPACT
The funding package is being developed separately.

DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE LEGAL DEPARTMENT
TO: Selection Committee
FROM: Kit Williams, City Attorney
DATE: February 18, 2009
RE: FEMA debris removal contract
I have reviewed the Proposed Agreement For Storm Debris Monitoring
Services. I do not believe the City should provide "such professional legal,
accounting, financial and insurance counseling services as may be required for the
Project." (Paragraph 4.5.) Certainly we will provide those services for ourselves as
the City, but this language might be interpreted as requiring the City to furnish those
services to the contractor. This would be a bad idea fraught with potential liability. I
recommend deletion of¶ 4.5. Other than that, the contract appears okay.
I have also reviewed the Project Manual For Storm Debris Services. In the
Request for Proposals section, I have a few comments/questions.
Paragraph 6.8. states "All debris shall be mechanically loaded and reasonably
compacted. Hand loading is not permitted ...." Although the vast majority of debris
should be mechanically loaded, final clean up to meet the requirements of the contract
would appear to require some hands on work. I do not see the requirement of no
hand-loading since we are paying by the unit rather than by the hour.
Paragraph 16.2.4. states: "The Contract may be terminated," but has no
explanation of when or why this should occur. Of course ¶ 19.1. says "This contract
may be terminated at any time for the convenience (no reason needed) of the City of
Fayetteville."
Other than those minor items, this contract looks appropriate and proper to me.
