ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents
necessary to purchase a Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Nimble
DHCI solution to replace several aging servers and storage for our
City Business Network from CDW Government LLC in the amount of
$159,856.90.
INITIATING DEPT: Information Technologies & Facilities
STRATEGIC GOAL: Efficiently Deliver City Services
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Practice Effective Governance
COMMENTARY: The approved 2022-23 Budget includes $315,154 to upgrade
existing server and network equipment for the City. These funds are used to replace
aging and unsupported network and server equipment every fiscal year. This purchase
will allow us to consolidate several servers into one appliance. This will lower our overall
footprint and create redundancy that we currently do not have while reducing our annual
server maintenance cost.
This HPE Nimble DHCI unit carries a 5-year warranty agreement and will be deployed on
our City Business Network. This device is a combination network storage device and a
virtual server bank. It will complete the redundancy from the unit that was purchased for
the Public Safety network last September. CDW Government LLC is a reseller for the
system's manufacturer, and CDWG Government LLC is on the Texas Department of
Information Resources (DIR) purchasing contract.
Staff recommends approving this purchase from CDW Government LLC in the amount of
$159,856.90.

ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing award of bid for roadway striping services for
the Wichita Falls Traffic Engineering Division from the low bidder
Linear Traffic Markings LLC in the amount of $51 ,171.50.
INITIATING DEPT: Aviation, Traffic, & Transportation
STRATEGIC GOAL: Efficiently Deliver City Services
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Practice Effective Governance
COMMENTARY: On March 7, 2023, the Council rejected the lone bid for roadway
striping services. The one bid received was for$161 ,780.00. Once the bid was rejected,
staff worked with the Purchasing Division to rebid the project.
The Wichita Falls Traffic Engineering Division has stopped using traffic paint to mark
roadway surfaces. Painted pavement markings have a service life of 2-3 months on high
volume roadways, but fade away quickly thereafter. To replace paint as a pavement
marking, staff recommends the use of thermoplastic type materials. These materials can
last up to 3-5 years, depending on traffic volumes and turning movements. These
materials also have better reflectivity performance than paint, particularly at night and in
weather-related driving conditions.
Staff has indicated that they will have the vendor install 96,300 lineal feet of yellow and
white thermoplastic pavement markings. This work will focus on higher volume roadways
and Downtown. It will also address some dedicated bicycle lanes. In addition, there will
be 20 "turn arrow" pavement markings replaced in this scope of work. Staff anticipates
that this work will begin in May of 2023, and it will take one week to complete.
Staff received three bids to perform this work:
Company Amount
Linear Traffic Markings $51 ,171 .50
Flatline Inc. $65,000.00
Total Highway Maintenance $151 .740.00
Staff recommends the award of bid for roadway striping services from the low bidder,
Linear Traffic Markings, LLC, in the amount of $51 ,171 .50.
Budgeted amount: $92,472.00 ($50,000 Traffic Budget/$42,472 4B Cycling Funds)
Actual Amount: $51 ,171 .50
Under Budget: $41 ,300.50

ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents
necessary to repair the damage that occurred in the MPEC Seminar
Room due to flooding in the amount of $143,213 with Clark
Contractors.
INITIATING DEPT: Multi-Purpose Events Center
STRATEGIC GOAL: Efficiently Deliver City Services
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Practice Effective Governance
COMMENTARY: On December 23, 2022, the MPEC experienced a flood due to a broken
water line in the fire suppression system. The water flowed north into the Seminar Room
which has a sloped floor. The end result was a significant amount of water standing in the
hallway, as well as in the Seminar Room in the sound booth, the dressing rooms and the
floor in front of the stage.
To preserve municipal property and due to the nature of the need to both remediate
possible mold growth and repair, the City has opted to use Clark Contractors to avoid
increased costs by waiting. The funds for this purchase will come from already
appropriated funds related to this emergency with the expectation that the City will be
reimbursed from our insurance claim with the Texas Municipal League.

ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City Manager to approve a request from
the Museum of North Texas History to donate by Gift Agreement,
artifacts from the holdings of the abandoned Railroad Museum.
INITIATING DEPT: Property Management
STRATEGIC GOAL: Redevelop Downtown
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Enhance Focus on Culture, Arts, and Entertainment
COMMENTARY: In December 2020 the now-former Railroad Museum Board
disbanded and vacated the City-owned facility located at 501 8th Street leaving behind all
of the museum's holdings. The City did not own or operate the museum, but are now in
possession of all of its holdings.
In August 2022, the Museum of North Texas History gave a presentation to Council with
recommendations of what to sell and what to restore/preserve of the historical artifacts
and holdings. With the Council's approval, they began the arduous task of inventorying
and tagging the artifacts. Some of the collection is too large for the museum to house and
some is in poor condition and would require more resources to restore than they have
available. The museum is requesting the City transfer (gift) the attached list to the
Museum of North Texas History for display at their facility at 720 Indiana.
Staff recommends approval of this resolution, which will authorize the City Manager to
execute a Gift Agreement to The Museum of North Texas History to convey the artifacts
as listed on the attached Exhibit A.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
April 18, 2023
ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City Manager to apply for and accept
funding in an amount of $2,742,753 for a section of circle trail along
the Wichita River under the 2023 Transportation Alternatives Set-
Aside Program provided by the Texas Department of Transportation.
INITIATING DEPT: Aviation, Traffic, & Transportation
STRATEGIC GOAL: Provide Adequate Infrastructure
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Complete Signature Public Improvements
COMMENTARY: In December of 2022, Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)
announced a Call for Projects under the Transportation Alternatives Set Aside Program.
The Program, as administered by TxDOT, provides funding for a variety of alternative
transportation projects as follows:
• Bicycle infrastructure improvements
• ADA and pedestrian improvements
• Shared use paths
• Sidewalk improvements
• Infrastructure-related projects to improve safety for non-motorized
transportation
The federally funded program, while administered through TxDOT, provides opportunities
to expand transportation choices and enhance the transportation experience through
categories of activities related to the surface transportation system. The grant focuses
on non-traditional/non-motorized vehicle transportation projects. The City of Wichita Falls
has successfully completed the first stage of the application process. As a result, TxDOT
has asked the City to complete the next step and to submit a formal application. The
deadline for the application is June 5, 2023.
Subsequently, the City of Wichita Falls has the opportunity to fund and complete one of
two final sections of the circle trail project through TxDOT's competitive grant process.
This application will apply for funds to complete the section of trail that will run along the
south side of the Wichita River from near the Camp Fire property to Lucy Park.
Staff recommends Council's endorsement of this resolution. The City of Wichita Falls
supports funding this project as described in the 2023 Transportation Alternatives
Nomination Form (including the construction budget, the department's 15%
administrative costs, and the required local match) and is willing to commit to the
development of the project, implementation, construction, maintenance, management,
PAGE 1 OF 5 PAGES

and financing. The City of Wichita Falls is willing and able to enter into an agreement
with TxDOT through this resolution should the project be selected for funding.
Total Project Cost: $3,428,441.00
TxDOT Transportation Alternative Set-Aside Grant (80%): $2,742,753.00
City of Wichita Falls Local Match (20%): $685,688.00
If the grant application is approved, City staff anticipates requesting the City's Type B
Sales Tax Corporation (4B) continue their partnership in the Circle Trail Project by
providing funds for the 20% match and related ancillary costs.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
