The property is located adjacent to the City Municipal Complex where SEDC staff currently offices. The property has been deemed not suitable for office space and will need to be redeveloped. At the November 19, 2015 SEDC Board Meeting, Ford Engineering was selected to create engineering plans for the demolition and revegetation of the property. Using the engineering plans, SEDC Staff developed a scope of work for the Construction Agreement and sought multiple bids from area contractors. Staff recommends KMAC Construction Services, Inc. ( "KMAC ") be selected for the Construction Agreement. KMAC was the lowest bidder and has experience in the City of Schertz with similar projects. As part of the Construction Agreement KMAC will oversee the proper asbestos abatement and removal, demolition and repair of an existing fence, and the revegetation of the site. In addition to the Construction Agreement staff recommends that the SEDC Board hire a third party asbestos removal monitoring firm to ensure that required procedures are followed. The Construction Agreement with KMAC is for $29,957.00. Staff recommends that approximately 20% contingency be added for the recommended asbestos removal monitoring and potential change orders that might arise. The total of $36,000 will be funded by transferring funds from the SEDC Land Purchase line item as approved in the FY 2015 -16 budget. - The SEDC Board of Directors met on April 28th at their regular board meeting to consider, discuss and act on the City of Schertz Economic Development Corporation Construction Agreement with KMAC Construction Services, Inc.

Kinateder) The following was read into record: 11811 � t§�C�.�c1 A RESOLUTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS AUTHORIZING AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AMONG THE CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS, THE CITY OF SCHERTZ ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, AND GE OIL AND GAS, INC.; AUTHORIZING CERTAIN BENEFITS BY THE CITY PURSUANT THERETO; AND OTHER MATTERS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH Mayor Carpenter recognized EDC Director Kyle Kinateder who introduced this item stating the City of Schertz, Texas (the "City "), the City of Schertz Economic Development Corporation (the "SEDC "), and GE Oil and Gas Inc. ( "GE ") entered into a Development Agreement (the "Agreement ") on February 4, 2014. Under the Agreement, GE agreed to retain and expand its operation in Schertz by making an $8 million capital investment, retaining 225 Full -Time Jobs, adding an additional 175 Full Time Jobs, and creating an annual Gross Payroll of $16 million for a period of six years. In consideration the City and SEDC agreed to provide an Infrastructure Incentive and fast -track GE's expansion. In February 2016, the Yantis Company was contracted to complete the extension of David Lack Boulevard. The project is scheduled to be complete by mid -May. Proposed Amendment No. 1 - GE has experienced rapid growth at its Schertz facility and has exceeded both the investment and the jobs requirement. GE encountered problems submitting the Annual Certification Report (the "Certification Report") and corresponding Texas Employers Quarterly Wage Report (EQWR) because GE submits the EQWR for all of its Texas locations. The EQWR includes sensitive personal information and it would be too onerous for GE to redact the sensitive information. In light of this finding, Amendment No. 1 allows GE to file an affidavit as part of a revised Certification Report in place of submitting the EQWR. Amendment No. I preserves the City and SEDC's right to request additional information to verify the Certification Report if needed. The SEDC Board of Directors met on April 28t' at their regular board meeting to consider, discuss and act on Amendment No. 1 to the Development Agreement among the City of Schertz, Texas, the City of Schertz Economic Development Corporation, and GE Oil & Gas Inc. and to recommend approval by the City Council.

There is no fiscal impact associated with Amendment No. 1 to the Development Agreement (GE Oil & Gas, Inc.). Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendment because the proposed amendment will simplify GE's annual reporting while continuing to ensure that the community receives the full benefits of the original Agreement.
