PLUSCO 426-41 represents a new innovation in providing a better seal retention in
controlling pressures during wireline operations using the injection control head.
PLUSCO 426-41 also provides better seal control under higher operating temperatures.
This new type of "Honey Oil" remains more stable during wireline operations involving
higher temperature conditions. PLUSCO 426-41 remains more stable to viscosity change
as temperature increases than conventional wireline grease seal PLUSCO 426-41.
PLUSCO 426-41 retains it's adhesive and cohesive characteristics during higher
temperature operations. In addition to maintaining and holding higher seal pressures,
through the use of high tech additives increase viscosity stability was achieved. Plusco
428 reduces the friction of the wireline, thus keeping wear on flow tubes and line down to
a minimum. PLUSCO 426-41 retains higher working pressures using less product,
resulting in reducing the loss of condensate from the well thus preventing well site
contamination.
Semi Synthetic
Remains more stable to viscosity change over varying
temperature conditions.
Adhesive and Cohesive Properties
Protects against corrosive effects of H2S, C02 and other
downhole chemicals.
Reduces loss of well condensate and gases
Prevents well site contamination

A knowledge of the available tox~cology information and of the physical and
chemical properties of the rnater~al suggests that overexposure is unlikely to
aggravate exis:ing medical conditions.
SIGNIFICANT LABOR~~TORY DATA WITH POSSIBLE RELEVANCE TO HUMAN
HEALTH HAZARD EVALUATION:
I
Triethylene glycol was given to rats by inclusion in the diet for 90 days at
concentrations of 10,000. 20,000 or 50,000 pprn. At the highest dose, there
i
were decreases in body welght. Physiologic responses to these high doses were
observed in kidney weight and urinalysis. No specific organ toxicity was seen.
I
In a 9-day repeated inhalation exposure (6 hourslday) study with rats, mortal-
I
ity occurred at 4284 mgim3; at 201 1 mgIm3 effects included eye irr~tatlon and
i
increased alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase activities; at
494 rnglm3 there was slightly increased alkaline phosphatase activity.
1
In a subsequent 9-day (nose-only) repeated aerosol study, the only effect
I
noted was slight (not statistically significant) decrease in body weight gain
I
at 517 and 1036 mglm3, but not at 102 mglm3. No indications of local or
I
systemic target organ toxicjty were noted.
~
There was no evidence in developmental toxicity studies for either embryotoxic
!
or teratogenic effects in mice or rats given rriethylene glycol by gavage.
Maternal toxicity was seen as reduced body weight and food comsurnptlon,
I
increased water comsurnption, and increased relative kidney weight wlth rats,

and clinical signs and increased relative kidney werght with mice.
There was no histologic evidence of damage to the kidneys in either species.
The no-observable effects doses for maternal toxicity were 11 26 mglkglday for
rats and 5630 mglkgiday for mice. Minor fetotoxtcity (reduced fetal body
weights and increased skeletal variations) was present with doses of 11 260
mgkgiday for rats and 5630 and 11 260 mgkglday for mice. The no-observable

Advice to Phy/~ician
!
Clear fire area of all non-emergency personnel.
Not expected to be a health hazard when used under normal
conditions.
No treatment necessary under normal conditions of use. If
symptoms persist, obtain medical advice.
Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with water
and follow by washing with soap if available. If persistent
irritation occurs, obtain medical attention. When using high
pressure equipment, injection of product under the skin can
occur. If high pressure injuries occur, the casualty should be
sent immediately to a hospital. Do not wait for symptoms to
develop. Obtain medical attention even in the absence of
apparent wounds.
Flush eye with copious quantities of water. If persistent
irritation occurs, obtain medical attention.
In general no treatment is necessary unless large quantities
are swallowed, however, get medical advice.
Treat symptomatically. High pressure injection injuries require
prompt surgical intervention and possibly steroid therapy, to
minimise tissue damage and loss of function. Because entry
wounds are small and do not reflect the seriousness of the
underlying damage, surgical exploration to determine the
extent of involvement may be necessary. Local anaesthetics or
hot soaks should be avoided because they can contribute to
swelling, vasospasm and ischaemia. Prompt surgical
decompression, debridement and evacuation of foreign
material should be performed under general anaesthetics, and
wide exploration is essential.

Exposure controls
: Shell has adopted as Interim Standards the OSHA Z1A values
that were established in 1989 and later rescinded.
The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary
depending upon potential exposure conditions. Select controls
based on a risk assessment of local circumstances.
Appropriate measures include: Adequate ventilation to control
airborne concentrations. Where material is heated, sprayed or
mist formed, there is greater potential for airborne
concentrations to be generated.
Personal Protective
Equipment I
Personal protective equipment (PPE) should meet
recommended national standards. Check with PPE suppliers.
Respiratory ~fotection No respiratory protection is ordinarily required under normal
I
conditions of use. In accordance with good industrial hygiene
practices, precautions should be taken to avoid breathing of
material. If engineering controls do not maintain airborne
concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker
health, select respiratory protection equipment suitable for the
specific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation.
Check with respiratory protective equipment suppliers. Where
air-filtering respirators are suitable, select an appropriate
combination of mask and filter. Select a filter suitable for
I
combined particulate/organic gases and vapours [boiling point
>65"C(149 OF)].
Hand Protectilm
Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of
gloves approved to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374,
US: F739) made from the following materials may provide
suitable chemical protection: PVC, neoprene or nitrile rubber
gloves. Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on
usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical
resistance of glove material, glove thickness, dexterity. Always
seek advice from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should

hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After
using gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly.
Application of a non-perfumed moisturizer is recommended.
Wear safety glasses or full face shield if splashes are likely to
occur.
Skin protection not ordinarily required beyond standard issue
work clothes.
Monitoring of the concentration of substances in the breathing
zone of workers or in the general workplace may be required to
confirm compliance with an OEL and adequacy of exposure
controls. For some substances biological monitoring may also
be appropriate.

recommended national standards. Check with PPE suppliers.
No respiratory protection is ordinarily required under normal
conditions of use. In accordance with good industrial hygiene
practices, precautions should be taken to avoid breathing of
material. If engineering controls do not maintain airborne
concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker
health, select respiratory protection equipment suitable for the
specific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation.
Check with respiratory protective equipment suppliers. Where
air-filtering respirators are suitable, select an appropriate
combination of mask and filter. Select a filter suitable for
combined particulatelorganic gases and vapours [boiling point
>65"C(149 OF)].
Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of
gloves approved to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374,
US: F739) made from the following materials may provide
suitable chemical protection: PVC, neoprene or nitrile rubber
gloves. Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on
usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical
resistance of glove material, glove thickness, dexterity. Always
seek advice from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should
be replaced. Personal hygiene is a key element of effective
hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After
using gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly.
Application of a non-perfumed moisturizer is recommended.
Wear safety glasses or full face shield if splashes are likely to
occur.
Skin protection not ordinarily required beyond standard issue
work clothes.
Monitoring of the concentration of substances in the breathing
zone of workers or in the general workplace may be required to
confirm compliance with an OEL and adequacy of exposure
controls. For some substances biological monitoring may also
be appropriate.
Minimise release to the environment. An environmental
assessment must be made to ensure compliance with local

Council District: VIII - The Honorable Cindy Liendo Espinoza
Proposed use: Thrift store
Site: Vacant commercial building
Staff source:
Horacio De Leon, Asst. City Manager
Nathan R. Bratton, Planning Director
Surrounding land uses: The property to the north is the Holding Institute Community Center. South
of the property are Valero, Templo Yireh, Cantu-Castillo Law Office, law offices, travel agency and
World Wide Autom. East of the property are Zaffirini Castillo, Gabriel Garcia Cano P.C., Paletas,
law offices, U.S. Customs Ofice, Motel Posada Del Carmen, Warehouse Retail and Ingrid's Ropa
Usada.

STAFF COMMENTS
Staff supports the issuance of the proposed Conditional Use Permit at this location. A thrift shop requires
a B-3 designation, rather than the current R-0 zoning district. The proposed use is compatible with the
surrounding uses.
Should the Commission recommend in favor of the request, staff suggests the following conditions:
1. The C.U.P. shall be issued to Maria Teresa Uvalle Sanchez and Jose Sarquis Garcia, and is non-
transferable.
2. The C.U.P. is restricted to the site plan, Exhibit "B", which is made part hereof for all purposes.
3. The C.U.P. is restricted to the activities described in letter, Exhibit "A", which is made part
hereof for all purposes.
(Continued on next page.. .)
P&Z COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The P & Z Commission, in a 2 to 9 vote, recommended
approval of the conditional use permit.

such real estate.

(1) No lease, rental agreement, lease-purchase agreement, payment agreement or
contract for purchase to which Lessee has been a party at any time has been terminated by

compliance with the Code and any regulations or rulings
contained herein to the extent that such failure to comply, in the opinion of nationally recognized
bond counsel, will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of the Tax-
Exempt Interest Component under section 103 of the Code. In the event that regulations or
rulings are hereafter promulgated that impose additional requirements that are applicable to this
Agreement, the Lessee and the Lessor agree to comply with the additional requirements to the
extent necessary, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, to preserve the
exemption from federal income taxation of the Tax-Exempt Interest Component under section

103 of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the Lessee and the Lessor hereby authorize
and direct the City Manager of the Lessee to execute any documents, certificates or reports
required by the Code and to make such elections, on behalf of the Lessee, which may be
permitted by the Code, as are consistent with the purpose for the execution and delivery of this
Agreement.
Section 2.03. Allocation oJ; and Limitation on, Expenditures for the Equipment. The
Lessee covenant to account for the expenditure of sale proceeds and investment earnings to be
used for the Equipment on their books and records by allocating pro to expenditures within

deemed to have exercised its option to continue this Agreement for the next Renewal Term
unless Lessee shall have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section 10.01.
The terms and conditions during any Renewal Term shall be the same as the terms and
conditions during the Original Term, except that the Rental Payments shall be as provided in the
Payment Schedule.

Section 3.02. Continuation of Lease Term. Lessee intends, subject to Section 3.03, to
continue the Lease Term through the Original Term and all Renewal Terms. Lessee affirms that
sufficient funds are available for the current fiscal year, and Lessee reasonably believes that an
amount sufficient to make all Rental Payments during the entire Lease Term can be obtained
from legally available funds of Lessee. Lessee further intends to do all things lawfully within its
power to obtain and maintain funds sufficient and available to discharge its obligation to make
Rental Payments due hereunder, including making provision for such payments to the extent
necessary in each budget or appropriation request submitted and adopted in accordance with
appropriation request

and represents payment of, principal as more fully detailed on the Payment Schedule.

Section 4.03. Rental Payments to Constitute a Current Expense of Lessee. Lessor and
Lessee understand and intend that the obligation of Lessee to pay Rental Payments shall
constitute a current expense of Lessee payable solely from its general fund or other funds that are
legally available for that purpose and shall not in any way be construed to be a debt of Lessee in
contravention of any applicable constitutional or statutory limitation or requirement concerning
the creation of indebtedness by Lessee, nor shall anything contained herein constitute a pledge of

Section 6.01. Title to the Equipment. During the Lease Term, and so long as Lessee is
not in default under Article XI1 hereof, all right, title and interest in and to each item of the
Equipment shall be vested in Lessee immediately upon its acceptance of each item of
Equipment, subject to the terms and conditions hereof. Lessee shall at all times protect and

defend, at its own cost and expense, its title in and to the Equipment from and against all claims,
liens and legal processes of its creditors, and keep all Equipment free and clear of all such
claims, liens and processes. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or upon termination of
this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, full and unencumbered legal title to the
Equipment shall, at Lessor's option, pass to Lessor, and Lessee shall have no further interest
therein. In addition, upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default or such termination,

Section 7.01. Liens, Taxes, Other Governmental Charges and Utility Charges. Lessee
shall keep the Equipment free of all levies, liens, and encumbrances except those created by this
Agreement. The parties to this Agreement contemplate that the Equipment will be used for a
governmental or proprietary purpose of Lessee and that the Equipment will therefore be exempt
from all property taxes. If the use, possession or acquisition of any Equipment is nevertheless
determined to be subject to taxation, Lessee shall pay when due all taxes and governmental
charges lawfully assessed or levied against or with respect to such Equipment. Lessee shall pay

all utility and other charges incurred in the use and maintenance of the Equipment. Lessee shall
pay such taxes or charges as the same may become due; provided that, with respect to any such
taxes or charges that may lawfully be paid in installments over a period of years, Lessee shall be
obligated to pay only such installments as accrue during the Lease Term.
Section 7.02. Insurance. Lessee shall during the Lease Term maintain or cause to be
maintained (a) casualty insurance naming Lessor and its assigns as loss payee and additional
insured and insuring the Equipment against loss or damage by fire and all other risks covered by

Agreement or any material misrepresentation provided by Lessee under or in connection with
this Agreement. The provisions of this paragraph shall continue in full force and effect
notwithstanding the full payment of all obligations under this Agreement or the termination of
the Lease Term for any reason.
Section 7.04. Surety Bonds; Lessee to Pursue Remedies Against Contractors and Sub-
Contractors and Their Sureties. Lessee shall secure from each Vendor directly employed by

Lessee in connection with the acquisition, construction, installation, improvement or equipping
of the Equipment, a payment and performance bond ("Surety Bond") executed by a surety
company authorized to do business in the State, having a financial strength rating by A.M. Best
Company of "A-" or better, and otherwise satisfactory to Lessor and naming Lessor as a co-
obligee in a sum equal to the entire amount to become payable under each Vendor Agreement.
Each bond shall be conditioned on the completion of the work in accordance with the plans and
specifications for the Equipment and upon payment of all claims of subcontractors and suppliers.

If Lessee elects to replace any item of the Equipment (the "Replaced Equipment")
pursuant to this Section, the replacement equipment (the "Replacement Equipment") shall be
new or of a quality, type, utility and condition at least as good as the Replaced Equipment, shall
be of equal or greater value than the Replaced Equipment and shall provide at least the same

level of energy and/or operational savings expected in the aggregate from the Replaced
Equipment prior to such casualty, destruction or condemnation. Lessee shall grant to Lessor a
first priority security interest in any such Replacement Equipment. Lessee shall represent,
warrant and covenant to Lessor that each item of Replacement Equipment is free and clear of all
claims, liens, security interests and encumbrances, excepting only those liens created by or
through Lessor, and shall provide to Lessor any and all documents as Lessor may reasonably
request in connection with the replacement, including, but not limited to, documentation in form
and substance satisfactory to Lessor evidencing Lessor's security interest in the Replacement
Equipment. Lessor and Lessee hereby acknowledge and agree that eplacement Equipment
acquired pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute "Equipment" oses of this Agreement.

Section 9.02 Vendor's Agreements; Warranties. Lessee covenants that it shall not in any
material respect amend, modify, rescind or alter any Vendor Agreement without the prior written
consent of Lessor. Lessor hereby irrevocably appoints Lessee its agent and attorney-in-fact
during the Lease Tern, so long as Lessee shall not be in default under this Agreement, to assert

from time to time whatever claims and rights (including without limitation warranties) relating to
the Equipment that Lessor may have against Vendor. Lessee's sole remedy for the breach of
such warranty, indemnification or representation shall be against the applicable Vendor of the
Equipment, and not against Lessor. Any such matter shall not have any effect whatsoever on the
rights and obligations of Lessor hereunder, including the right to receive full and timely Rental
Payments. Lessee expressly acknowledges that Lessor makes, and has made, no representations
or warranties whatsoever as to the existence or the availability of such warranties relating to the
Equipment.

without the necessity of obtaining the consent of Lessee; provided, that any such assignment,

transfer or conveyance to a trustee for the benefit of owners of certificates of participation shall
be made in a manner that conforms to any applicable State law. Nothing in this Section 11 .O1
shall be construed, however, to prevent Lessor from executing any such assignment, transfer or
conveyance that does not involve funding through the use of certificates of participation within
the meaning of applicable State law, including any such assignment, transfer or conveyance as
part of a multiple asset pool to a partnership or trust; provided such certificates are sold only on a

sublease without Lessor's prior written consent shall be null and void.

Section 12.01. Events of Default DeJined. Any of the following events shall constitute an
"Event of Default" under this Agreement:

(f) An order, judgment or decree shall be entered by any court of competent
jurisdiction, approving a petition or appointing a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator for
Lessee or of all or a substantial part of the assets of Lessee, in each case without its application,
approval or consent, and such order, judgment or decree shall continue unstayed and in effect for
any period of 30 consecutive days.
Section 12.02. Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Default exists, Lessor shall

other than such notice as may be required in this Article.

Resolution No. 2012-R- 054.
BACKGROUND: Congressman the Honorable Henry Cuellar announced on September 7,2012 the
issuance of a grant by the Federal Aviation Administration in the amount of $4,500,000.00 for construction
of the Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting Station at the Laredo International Airport.
The construction of the Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting Station "ARFF" is needed to comply with current
design standards and will enhance safety by improving response time to incidents at both ends of the
runways. The new ARFF Station will replace the current ARFF Station on the West end of the Airport and
will enhance operational safety. The facility will feature state of the art security improvements and
amenities to the Fire Fighters such as living quarters, kitchen, and training room.
Congress is currently considering returning to a Five (5%) percent local match for non-hub airports like
Laredo. This would be retroactive to FY 2012 grants in which case FAA will reimburse City $250,000.00.
Two key committees, one in the House and one in the Senate have recommended the change in the

Deputy City Manager Health Director
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On October 1,2012, Council introduced the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The United States Food and Drug Administration has awarded the City of Laredo Health Department (CLHD) a
$300,000.00 grant over three (3) years (100,000.00 per year) to conduct an Innovative Food Safety Program.
The CLHD will employ innovative techniques using an updated automated food inspection and surveillance
system. The short term goal is to curb illegal food vending and improve food management; the long - term
outcome is to create a better awareness of food management, storage, preparation, food handling hazards,
personal hygiene and sanitation. Through this USFDA Food Inspection Innovation opportunity, the CLHD will
build capacity and workforce development, improving current automated inspection and surveillance system
improving our tracking and reporting, training, and inspection in the field to one more efficient and responsive.
I Specifically the automated system will facilitate better enforcement, quicker communication and improve I
surveillance. By increasing efficiency of field operations, we can also increase training and education at food
establishments and to the public. The CLHD will be able to provide better support for food establishments and
create better professionals for prevention and enforcement. These activities align themselves with the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention National Strategy to revitalize environmental public health and adhere to
the USFDA and CDC Voluntary National Retail Food Regulatory Program Standards.
The threat of food borne disease continues today in large part due to an increase in food establishments and an
increase in illegal food entry, illegal food storage facilities and illegal food vending, along with decreased staff
and lack of adequate public health professionals. Resources from this grant will include the creation of one (I)
FTE Sanitarian I11 Position, R36 and the creation of one (1) Public Health Technician Position, R36 (0.48 FTE
from USFDA grant - Account 6105, 0.35 FTE from EPAIBECC CEHI grant - Account 6803 and 0.17 FTE
from OPHP grant - Account 6007).
BUDGET ON NEXT PAGE
FINANCIAL: The City of Laredo Health Department will receive $100,000.00 in funds from HHS
FDA for the Food Inspection Innovation Program for the period beginning September 10, 2012 through
June 30, 2013. The revenue account 226-0000-321-6302 will increase by $100,000.00. The expenditure

sales tax on certain materials. See Comptroller's Rule 3.291 and Texas Tax Code,
Chapter 15 1, as amended by House Bill Number 11, acts 1991, 72nd Legislature, First
Called Session. The Contractor will be required to separate the charges for materials
from all other charges and will be furnished an Exemption Certificate for each contract by

SPECIAL PROVISION'
No. 000-6233
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS
The Contractor's attention is directed to Rule 3.291, paragraphs (a) (I), defining
separated contracts, subsection (b) (3) discussing separated contracts, and subsection (c)
discussing exempt contracts. Reference: Texas Tax Code, Chapter 15 1.
Contractors should note those organizations in subsection (c) that the rule shows as being
exempt no longer qualify for the exemption. The rule states that contractors improving
realty for organizations listed in Texas Tax Code 15 1.309 and 15 1.310 are exempt from
tax. THIS IS NO LONGER TRUE EFFECTIVE WITH CONTRACTS SIGNED ON OR
AFTER AUGUST 15,1991.
Only those contracts with school districts and nonprofit hospitals qualify
for the exemption discussed in subsection (c) of Rule 3.291.
The Comptroller is amending the rule to reflect this change.
If the low bidder elects to operate under a separated contract as defined by Rule 3.291, by
obtaining the necessary permits from the State Comptroller's office allowing the purchase
of materials for incorporation in this project without having to pay the Limited Sales and
Use Tax at the time of purchase, the low bidder shall identify separately from all other
charges the total agreed contract price for materials incorporated into the project. This
form shall be filled out by the low bidder in each of the two bound copies of the contract.
Total materials shall only include materials physically incorporated into the realty.
If the Contractor operates under a "separated contract", the Department will furnish the
Contractor with an exemption certificate for the applicable materials.
In order to comply with the requirements of Rule 3.291, as mentioned above, it will be
necessary for the Contractor to obtain a sales tax permit.
It will also be necessary that the contractor issue resale certificates to his suppliers.
Sales tax application for a sales tax permit and information regarding resale certificates
may be obtained by writing to:
Comptroller of Public Accounts
Capital Station
Austin, Texas 78774
The Contractor may also receive information or request sales tax permit applications by
calling the State Comptrollers' toll free number 1-800-252-5555. '
Division A

Information to Contractors Page 3 of 4
Subcontractors are eligible for sales tax exempion if the subcoiltract is made in such
manner that the charges for materials is separated from all other charges. The procedwe
described above will effect a satisfactory separation. When subcontractors are handled in
this manner, the Contractor must issue a resale certificate to the subcontractor and the
subcontractor, in turn, must issue a resale certificate to his supplier.

Subj: Additional Services for Construction Management /Inspection Contract
"Supplemental No. 1 to the Main Contract dated June L2011- Revised
As Per September 19,2012 Phone Conversation"
Dear Mr. Rodriguez,
Enclosed please find two partially executed originals of the Supplemental No. 1 (Revised 09/20/2012) to the Main
Contract dated June 1, 201 1 for additional construction management and inspection services, for the North Laredo
(El Pico) Water Treatment Plant. Also, attachment A-I; B, D and E of the main contract dated June 1, 201 I are
being modified and replaced in their entirety to account for changes in this Supplemental No. 1. Also, page 2 of 9 of
the main contract dated June 1, 2011 is being replaced in its entirety to account for modifications to Section IV
"Period of Performance."
The additional services are due to the extension of this contract from 26 months to 30 months to match the El Pico
Construction Contract and the increase in complexity and number of working locations by the El Pico Water Plant
contractor. Supplemental No. 1 to the Main Contract requests that the maximum payable lump sum fee of
$ 2,165,379.84 be modified to $2,704,327.30, an increase of $538,947.46. The total projected construction cost of
the El Pico Water Plant at bid was $89 million and after construction Change Order No. 1 was approximately $85
million. After adding Supplemental No. 1; the revised fee of $ 2,704,327.30 represents 3.18% of the construction
cost which is well within the acceptable percentage for CMI work on such a large complicated project.
Please review the attached Supplemental No. 1 to the Main Contract and if satisfactory; Dannenbaum respectfully
requests that you to execute the attached Supplemental No. 1 to the Main Contract - Revised 0912012012 and return
one original to my office for our records.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide services to the City of Laredo and look forward to a continued mutual and
beneficial relationship. If you have any questions or need clarification of the contents herein, please do not hesitate
to call me at (956) 682-3677.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
SUBJECT: MOTIONS
Consideration to award annual supply contract number FY 12-095 to Arguindequi Oil,
in the estimated annual amount of $5,500,000.00 for the purchase of unleaded and
diesel fuel for the City's automotive fleet. This vendor is being recommended for a
contract award utilizing a best value evaluation format. Funding is available in the
Fleet Maintenance Fund.
INITIATED BY:
Jesus Olivares, Assistant City Manager
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None.
STAFF SOURCE:
Rogelio Rivera, P.E. , City Engineer
Jack Dunn, Fleet General Manager
Francisco Meza, Purchasing Agent
BACKGROUND: Five bids were received for the City's annual contract for unleaded and diesel fuel. The
bid specifications requested bid pricing on tank wagon (5,000 gallons or less) and transport loads (5,000
gallons or more) for both regular unleaded, low and high sulfur diesel fuel. During the contract period, the
unit prices will be determined by adding the bid price to the daily published Oil Price Information Service
(OPIS) index made up of the composite posted prices in the Laredo area. The weekly price shall be the
OPIS Low Rack price for the Laredo area, plus the fixed price differential bid by the successful bidder. The
base price bid of the vendor will remain fixed during the contract period. The OPIS index is an average of
the delivered, terminal price in cents per gallon, excluding all taxes for the Laredo area. This format allows
for price changes based on an independent industry publication. This contract is based on the estimated
usage of 770,000 gallons of unleaded fuel and 780,000 gallons of diesel fuel and 36,000 gallons of red
diesel fuel. The OPIS differential format is used to determine a low bid situation. Since the differential bid
by the vendors is constant during the contract period, the only price that changes is the index for the week.
Staff has reviewed the bids submitted and utilizing the best value criteria, staff is recommending that a
contract be awarded to Arguindequi Oil LTD.
Summary Based on Bid Evaluation Criteria
Arguindegui Oil Co., Laredo, TX $5,127.079.80
Mansfield Oil Co., Gainsville, GA $5,149,197.00
Gold Star Petroleum, San Juan, TX $5,188,389.00

Summary:
Since the early moments and days after this of the catastrophic injury, Officer Reyes recovery is nothing
short of remarkable according to all updated medical information. Still, according to those same medical
reports he is cognitively functioning at the borderline range of adult intelligence with some areas of
cognitive ability severely impaired while other areas are in the average range. Further, current medical
evidence indicate he has little or no chance of regaining use of his left hand or his left bilateral left field of
vision, both of which resulted from his stroke which were caused by his injuries. According to the last
medical report, though he is still making improvements, in his cognitive ability. Officer Reyes is also still
undergoing physical, occupational and speech therapy five times a week. He is also scheduled to
undergo facial reconstructive surgery on November 19'~, 2012 and extensive dental reconstruction
sometime in January 20 13.
All medical information to date appears to indicate Officer Reyes has little or no chance of a full recovery
both physically and cognitively, enough to allow him to return to full duty police work. However, the Dr.
Hoine's full psychological evaluation indicates that Officer Reyes is expected to continue to improve
cognitively, but to what degree of functioning it's impossible to know at this point.
Further, Officer Reyes has still not reached MMI or received and impairment rating for any of his
sustained injuries as dictated by workers' compensation stature and based on the aforementioned and his
impending surgeries over the next several months, staff recommends a 1 year extension.

1011 9/20 12 - DD exam scheduled to be performed.
Summary:
Neither Sgt. Flores' primary physician, Dr. Puig, nor Sgt. Flores former neurosurgeon, Dr. Garza-Vale,
had recommended surgery throughout his medical care and did not determine the cause of Sgt. Flores'
symptoms of pain. . An EMG indicated an abnormal study, however a second MRI found no indication
of radiculopathy due to nerve root impingement causing any type symptom. Both of Sgt. Flores treating
doctors recommended conservative medical care consisting of medication, physical therapy and steroidal
injections. Dr. Garza-Vale subsequently retired and Sgt. Flores started seeing a new neurosurgeon, Dr.
Zavala, now recommends surgery based on the same medical information.
The City, thru, TMLIRP, has requested a designated doctor's (DD) examination, which is scheduled for
October 19,2012. Based on the aforementioned, staff recommends an extension of 90 days, enough time
for either surgery to be approved by TASB or the state appointed Designated Doctors to address
maximum medical improvement, impairment rating and ability to return to work based on all medical
information. If the DD indicates the Sgt. Flores is unable to return to work the City will need to extend
injury leave at that time if necessary.
