Pasadena City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to approve an interlocal agreement with Harris County for construction of the Armand Bayou Hike and Bike Trail. The city council approved a $511,529 contract with SCL Engineering for services required in connection with the Pine Street Drainage Project. The city council approved a $300,000 contract with Sparks-Barlow-Barnet, Inc. for engineering services for the new police complex. The city council voted 8-1, with Jack Douglass opposed, to establish a job order contracting system and procedures for construction services "based on established competitively bid contracts between the City of Pasadena and general contractors Kellogg, Brown & Root Services, Inc. and Jamail Construction through the Texas Cooperative Purchasing Network and Texas Local Government Purchasing Cooperative, respectively." The city council, by unanimous consent, agreed to defer action on the proposed $150,000 purchase of signal preemption devices for a computerized traffic control system though ACM Highway Products. All other agenda items were approved with unanimous votes. Daniel Vanderbrink appeared before the city council to express concerns about the Young Street Construction Project and problems that residents are experiencing, especially damages that he said his "handicap van" have endured. Council Member Jerri Neely apologized to Daniel and the residents along Young Street for the problems that they have encountered, but she stressed that the project will be a great improvement for everyone.
