Staff Report
Meeting date: December 7, 2020
Agenda item: Solicitation Award – As-Needed Wildfire Fuels Reduction Services
Background: Staff issued a Request for Proposal to find a qualified contractor who will provide
As-Needed Wildfire Fuels Reduction Services for Hamilton Greenbelt I & II.
Three (3) responses were received by the deadline. City staff reviewed the responses, evaluated the
qualifications, and scored each proposal to determine if they met the City’s best interest.
Respondents are Heritage Tree Care, Certified Arbor Care, and Grass Works. Two (2) companies
have International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Certified Arborists on staff who have earned the
Wildfire Risk Reduction Qualification. One (1) firm installed a shaded fuel break for the City of
Lakeway in Hamilton Greenbelt I in 2019.
The three proposals included daily crew sizes of three members (two proposers) and six members
(one proposer) working 10-hour days. Lake Travis Fire Rescue’s (LTFR) day rate includes an 8-10-
person crew working 10-hour days. One 10-hour workday by LTFR with 9 crew members would
total 90 man-hours. To compare pricing, 90 man-hours for all four crews were calculated.
Assuming the productivity of all persons in all four crews is roughly equal, the respondents’ prices
for shaded fuel breaks were calculated to be 2.6 to 2.8 times the cost for LTFR for 90 man-hours.
For dead and downed fuels removal, the respondents’ prices are 3.2 to 3.4 times LTFR’s cost for
90 man-hours. The prices for the three respondents are in line with expected pricing for tree and
landscape work, but cannot compete with Lake Travis Fire Rescue’s pricing under the Interlocal
Agreement for Wildfire Fuels Mitigation Services.
Recommendation: Due to cost, staff recommends not awarding the bid, and waiting until the
LTFR crew returns in January to resume wildfire fuels reduction in Hamilton Greenbelt. In the
meantime, we are working on the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP).
Fiscal Impact: None. LTFR’s pricing was the baseline used to calculate the $350,000 cost
for the Hamilton Greenbelt project in September 2019.
Enclosure(s): None.

Staff Report
Meeting date: December 7, 2020
Agenda item: Resolution No. 2020-12-07-01 creating the city of Lakeway Police Policies
and Procedures Review Committee and appointing members to the committee.
Background: The city council discussed charter section 4.07 and article 12.03 of the code of
ordinances relating to the police department and police department policies at the November
16, 2020 meeting. The City Charter states the Chief of Police shall establish and maintain
written rules, approved by the Council, relating to police policies and procedures. Section
12.03 of the city Code of Ordinances includes language for the appointment of police officers
to be approved by the City Council. The city council has not reviewed police policies and
procedures with any regularity, nor made appointments of officers. A unanimous vote was
made to form a Police Policies and Procedures Review Committee to review the policies with
the Chief of Police, City Manager and City Attorney. Mayor Pro Tem Higginbotham,
Councilmember Mastrangelo and Councilmember Smith volunteered to serve on the
committee. The committee would report to council after completing their review and make
any recommendations for polices that may need to be further reviewed or amended.
Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact to the city’s budget.

Meeting date: December 7, 2020
Agenda item: Hamilton Greenbelt Wildfire Fuels Reduction Project FY 2021 Projections
Background: In October 2019, City Council tasked City staff with reducing wildfire risk in
all of Hamilton Greenbelt. Calculations based on Lake Travis Fire Rescue’s known
productivity on similar sites suggested that Hamilton Greenbelt I could be wrapped up by
November 2020 with a crew of 8-10 workers working from March through November.
No timeline was presented for Hamilton Greenbelt II, as there were no measures of time and
cost per acre (i.e., metrics) due to the remote and inaccessible nature of the greenbelt.
Volunteer workdays in winter 2019 demonstrated that removing woody fuels from the
northern greenbelt is time- and labor-intensive due to the need to drag and carry the wood long
distances to the chipper. Lake Travis Fire Rescue was unfortunately rained out for most of the
week when they were scheduled to work a tract specifically selected to measure acres worked.
Consequently, there are no metrics to date for Hamilton Greenbelt II that can be used to
calculate time and cost to complete the project.
When COVID-19 hit in March, LTFR’s crew size plummeted from ten workers to a two-man
crew. The Texas Conservation Corps, which subcontracts with LTFR to provide their
seasonal workers, pulled everyone out from mid-March through late June. For 16 of the 22
weeks that LTFR worked in Hamilton Greenbelt I from March through July, the field crew
labored at 20-25% of their usual staffing level. LTFR continued to work through the
pandemic, moving the project forward and completing almost 11 acres, but progress was
proportionally slowed as expected for this very physically demanding work.
Current Status:
Hamilton Greenbelt I
38% complete
2.6 acres shaded fuel breaks (2019)
3.1 acres shaded fuel breaks (2020)
= 5.7 acres shaded fuel breaks behind 23 homes
7.7 acres dead/downed fuels removed
Page 1 of 3
Page 11 of 50
Hamilton Greenbelt II
3% complete
1.1 acres dead/downed fuels removed
Hamilton Greenbelts I and II combined
19.3% complete (2019 + 2020)
12 acres completed in FY 2020 (10.8 in HGB I + 1.1 in HGB II)
Expenditures $58,025.31
Total acres completed in FY 2020 = 15.9%
Percent of $350,000 budget spent = 16.6%
Lake Travis Fire Rescue is scheduled to return in January 2021. A Request for Proposal was
advertised to attract additional crews, but the proposals are about three times the daily rate of
the Lake Travis Fire Rescue crew.
FY 2021 Projections:
Dates Expected Costs Activity
Jan. 2021 $17,640 Install shaded fuel break in HGB II behind 9 homes
Feb. 2021 $27,200 Dead/downed fuels removal in HGB II
Mar-Aug 2021 $101,744 Complete HGB I (shaded fuel breaks + dead/downed removal)
Sept. 2021 $27,200 Return to HGB II for dead/downed fuels removal
$173,784 FY 2021 Total Projected Expenditures
$350,000 Total Budget
-$58,025 Spent in FY 2020
-$101,744 Expected Cost to Complete HGB I in FY 2021 (Shaded Fuel Break + Dead/Downed)
$190,231 Budget Remaining for Hamilton Greenbelt II
-$17,640 Shaded Fuel Break in HGB II (Jan. 2021)
-$54,400 Dead/Downed Removal in HGB II (4 weeks in Feb., 4 weeks in Sept. 2021)
$118,191 Funds Remaining at the End of FY 2021 to Complete HGB II
LTFR’s full seasonal crew needs about 2.2 days to clear one acre in Hamilton Greenbelt I
where most parts of the greenbelt have ready access to trucks and chipper. This is the number
that was used to calculate the $350,000 budget needed to clear all of Hamilton Greenbelt.
LTFR’s work in Hamilton Greenbelt I this year has matched up well with that value, but with
the much more difficult conditions in Hamilton Greenbelt II, the number of days per acre is
expected to be higher.
Page 2 of 3
Page 12 of 50
In FY 2021, an estimated $54,400 will be spent on dead and downed fuels reduction in
Hamilton Greenbelt II. At this point it is not known how many acres will be cleared for that
price, but after the work is done, the acreage can be measured by GPS and cost applied to the
area worked to build metrics. If the time goes beyond 2.6 days per acre, then the cost to clear
the rest of Hamilton Greenbelt II will most likely exceed the $118,000 budget that remains at
the end of FY 2021.
Fiscal Impact: None expected in FY 2021.
Enclosure(s): None.

Hamilton Greenbelt II Challenges
Very Different from Hamilton Greenbelt I
• Can only work HGB II for 6 months (Sept 1 – March 1) due to its
suitability as habitat for the endangered golden-cheeked warbler
• No historical metrics for cost and time projections in HGB II
• Terrible access for equipment in certain units
• Very rugged terrain
• Larger trees, more dead wood, long distances to drag material down
trails to get to the chipper
Page 25 of 50
Page 26 of 50
LTFR feels comfortable in meeting the
budget remainder of $190,231 to
complete Hamilton Greenbelt II if we
have a full crew and are not affected
severely by COVID-19, Weather, and
Topography.
We commend the City of Lakeway for
allocating funds to protect their citizens
and we will work hard to meet the budget
and time constraints associated with this
project.
