On Monday, December 2, 2002, at 1:30 p.m., a special
meeting of the Kerr County Commissioners Court was held in
the Commissioners' Courtroom, Kerr County Courthouse,
Kerrville, Texas, and the following proceedings were had in
open court:
P R O C E E D I N G S
DODGE HENNEKE: Good afternoon, everyone.
It's 1:30 in the afternoon of Monday, December 2nd, Year
2002. I will call to order this special meeting of the Kerr
County Commissioners Court. First item for discussion is
Item Number 1, consider and discuss amending the Dailey
Wells contract to include replacing the Dictaphone radio
recorder. Sheriff Hierholzer.
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Good afternoon. We have
some recording equipment that we've had out there at the
Sheriff's Office that records our -- all our radio traffic
and incoming telephone calls and outgoing telephone calls
from the dispatch center. That equipment's been with the
department a number of years, and for the last several
months we have been trying to keep it going, and we just
have been unsuccessful to do so. We contacted Dictaphone
about it, and they said they don't even make that one any
more, and there wasn't much else we could do other than
replace it, and they're the only ones that do it.
To replace that piece of equipment su that we

could continue rewording all our radio and phone traffic,
bring the total to $13,087. If we go with a 4-year, it's
$1^,990, and if we go with a 3-year, it's $12,794. It would
come with one year in that $11,038 fee. 7 dorr't have that
kind of funds in my budget to be able to get that expensive
a piece of equipment, so I was talking to Dailey Wells,
since they're doing the radios and are nearing completion on
that deal, and in talking to Richard Wells about it, he said
that they could get it at the same price and everything and
install it, put it in for us as part of this same contract
that we hate on the -- on the radio system.
And, asking where the funds would come from
there, they had built in, in the detailed best and final
offer, in the executive summary, second to last line, I
believe it is a contingency fund. And what this fund
covers, among other things, is some of the in-building
amplifiers. If we had a problem with getting radio
communication out of, like, the hospital or something, they
were going to build in one of those in-buildings. But they
said it should still leave, even if they had to dv that,
plenty to cover this cost of the -- of this recorder. And
that contingency fund amount was $65,000 built into that.

He also stated that they were pretty well coming in under
budget as -- as they're getting everything done as we speak,
and so what I'm asking the Court to do is amend the Dailey
Wells contract to include that piece of equipment in there
to be installed at the Sheriff's Office at the same time.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: With the funds to be
-- to come from the Contingency line item in the contract.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Including the 4-year
maintenance contract?
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Yes.
COMMISSIONER BALllWIN: They agreed to take
that out of that same --
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Well, that will -- we're
going to take that out, 'cause I think we're going to pay
the purchase price, and they'll make sure it's all kept in
there. It will all come out of that; we'll send them the
bill.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: What is the cost of a
4-year maintenance agreement?
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: The 4-year maintenance,
if you do it for four years, it's $12,940 total, wiLti the
piece cf equipment and the maintenance. If you do it for
five years, it's $13,087.
JUDGE HENNEKE: I think 5-year is what you're
recommending. Correr_t, Sheriff?

SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: That's what I would
recommend with this type of equipment.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: You mentioned that --
your knowledge that the current communication project is
coming in under budget. Do you have some feel for that?
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Yes. We11, we've
g~tteu -- we've paid them two or three payments so far.
Each one, we've got a discounted price on top of the actual
payment, that -- Laking another 10 percent, about $3,000
each payment for paying it on timc=. And the way they were
talking, it's just duiug well. They haven't had any snags
in it or anything that's cost them extra. They are
expecting to be complete with the installation of the system
by the 6th of this month, which is the end of this week.
That's why I had to get this moved in on this special
Commissioners Court meeting. And then from the 6th of this
month Lo Lhe 16th of the month, they will be doing their
testing to make sure we have the guaranteed coverage and
that before we actually do a switch-over of the system on
the 16th. The only other expense that was never figured
into the cost, but I think I've even got it covered in our
budget anyhow with new cars -- it's already being
programmed -- is reprogramming our old radios for the new
radio frequencies. That's running us about $20 a car.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Any questions or comments?

COMMISSIONER BALDW [N: I do have a ~xuestion.
Did I hear you say that we're going to pay for this and then
bill to have it taken out of here?
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Yes.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Bill these people?
Where does the initial money come from?
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Out of that -- the bond
stuff and everything that -- the contract with Dailey Wells.
It's going to be amended to them. We'll order it and
they'll pay the bill, is actually what it amounts to.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Oh, okay.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Certificate of
obligation.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Okay.
COMMISSIONER GRIFF~N: I'd make a motion that
we approve amending of the Dailey Wells contract to include
the system as proposed in the package, with the 5-year
maintenance contract, and authorize County Judge to sign any
paperwork necessary to accomplish that.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: And put in there, too,
where -- where it actually comes from.

contract dollars that are in the --

contract. Now, they -- the maintE=nance contract will
actually be with Dictaphone.
CUMMiSSlONER GRIFF:CN: Right.
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Okay? Not with Gailey
Wells.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Contingency line or
something?
JUDGE HENNEKE: Yeah, Contingency line item
in the Dailey Wells contract.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: That's what I wanted.
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Right.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Second?
COMMISSIONER BHLUWIN: I'll second that.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Motion by Commissioner
Griffin, second by Commissioner Baldwin, that the Court
approve amending the Dailey Wells contract to include
replacing the Dictaphone radio recorder and purchasing a
5-year maintenance contract at a total cost of $13,087, with
the funds to come from the Contingency line item in the
Dailey Wells contract, and authorize the County Judge to
sign all documentation necessary to evidence the amendment.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Good lord, did I say
all that?
JUDGE HENNEKE: You did a fine job,
Commissioner.

JUDGE HENNEKE: Any,/ questions or comments?
IL not, all in favor, raise your right hand.
(The motion carried by unanimous vote.)
JUDGE HENNEKE: Opposed, same sign.
(No response.)
JUDGE HENNEKE: MoY.ion carries. Newt item
for consideration is consider and discuss the evaluations by
DRG, Inc., of Lhe design/build teams qualifications, take
any actions required by such evaluations or applicable state
law, including, but without limitation, selection of
design/build teams for interviews and time for such
interviews. I have handed out to each of you an evaluation
I received trom DRG this morning. DRG has ranked the four
Leams, from highest to lowest, as the r'aulkner Construction,
Inc./J.M. Lowe Company and Quorum Architects team as number
one. Number two, Huser Construction Company, Inc., and
Alan E. Adler, Architect. Number three, STR Constructors,
Limited, and number four, Biermann Construction Company,
L.L.C., in association with J.F. Thompson, Inc. It is the
recommendation of DRG Architects that Kerr County invite the
three highest-ranked design/build teams to be interviewed
and present more detailed information.

is presentations -- more detailed presentations t_o DRG?
JUDGE HENNEKE: No, it's to the Commissioners
Court.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: To us?
JUDGE HENNEKE: It's to us.
COMMISSIONER GRIFE'1N: Are they going to
reevaluate their spreadsheet scores after that? In other
words, is DRG going t~ play any role --
JUDGE HENNEKE: It says Commissioners Court
will interview nu snore than five of the design/build teams.
SO --
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: I see.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: We're talking -- are
wz talking about a regular Commissioners Court meeting,
bringing all this in?
JUDGE HENNEKE: Well, that's what we need to
decide. I mean, we have a meeting scheduled for a week from
*_oday, so my suyyestion would be that we schedule these
interviews the afternoon of the 9th so that we --
COMMISSIONER LETZ: 'Phe --
JUDGE HENNEKE: But that's --
COMMISSIONER LETZ: taut they're also
supposed -- well, interviews the 9th. When would the
recommendation come back from DRG? The reason is 'cause

they're asking them to provide drawings also, and I don't
think it's reasonable to ask any architectural firm to have
drawiiiys in four days.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Well, that may be pushing it
sonic. It may be that we ought to look more to having the
interviews on the 16th and then have a recommendation and
make uur choice on the 23rd, which is our final scheduled
meeting for this year.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I think that's pushing
it. I mean, I'm just thinking -- I mean, we're asking them
Lo, you know, give us elevations and basic drawings, and I
think that you need to give them, you know, some reasonable
Lime to do that.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: But that's -- the
drawinys, we are asking for them, but are they a part of the
interview process?
COMMISSIONER LETZ: They're part of the
selection process.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Part of the ultimate
selection process.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: We ran interview them,
but we can't, I mean, select. There needs to be -- they
need to have time to do the drawings before or after the
interview. The interview can be -- I don't have any problem
with doing that maybe next week on the yth, but I --

COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: But you're right,
they do need time to work it out.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: And have drawings.
'Cause, I mean, I think the -- the reason for the pushing
was to have the drawings basically by the lst of the year.
And as soon as we -- and then make a selection about them so
we can use the drawings with tkie team that we use.
COMMISSIONER. WILLIAMS: Why would it be
necessary to delay the interviews for a full weekt Why
couldn't the interviews be scheduled within 72 hours?
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: I think Jonathan was
saying that was a
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I think that's -- I think
you have to give them a little bit of time for that, too.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: I think we need -- are
there some parameters we can give them for that? In other
words, you have 10 minutes, or you have --
JUDGE HENNEKE: It was in the Request for
Qualifications.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Okay
JUDGE HENNEKE: The whole process was
outlined in the Request for Qualifications.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Okay.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Yeah, Phase II. Provide
additional interview and to interview -- provide additional

infonnaLion regarding the following criteria: Proposed site
plan, a floor plan, front elevation, proposed type of
constxuctic~u -- I'm reading from Page 3 of 4. Anticipated
schedule for design, feasibility of implementing the
project, cost methodology, cost including any guaranteed
maximum price. So, you know, I mean, I don't -- I don't see
any reason t0 put the interviews past the 9th.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: 1:30? 1 O'clock?
12:95?
JUDGE HENNEKE: What's everyone's -- what's
everyone else think? Commissioner Baldwin's ready to push
the pedal to the medal.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: 1:30.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I guess -- I mean, my
hesitation is, what are we doing at the interview?
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: I don't know. If the
law requires it, we'll do it, whatever it is.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Well, I think the purpose of
the interview, from my understanding -- maybe I ought to
defer to Commissioner Williams, since he went to the
seminar -- is for us to get a feel as to what these guys are
pxupusiiiy Lo do.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Right.

them as the ones who are doing th=s project.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: That's correct, and
to ask the questions about the project and their -- and
listen to their responses and so forth, so on. That's
correct.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I mean, I'm comfortable
with all four of them listed, that they can do the job. I
just don't see the point in having them come down here so we
can look at them for five minutes and not say anything.
If it's going to be a constructive dialogue, that's fine,
but --
JUDGE HENNEKE: Well, you know, the -- the
answers to the questions that are here under Phase II, such
as the type of construction, schedule, the cost methodology,
the cost included in the guaranteed maximum price.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I mean, to me, that's all
basically written, and that shoulc be then given to DRG to
evaluate.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Well, we -- we can do it that
way. If we want to contact the tep three teams and say
provide us with this information by a date certain, and have
the interviews a day or two after that, I don't have any
problem with that. I think that's a fairly reasonable way
to go about it.

this Number 2 tells you exactly wYiat you want them to
expound upon.
JUDGE HENNEKE: But I think Jonathan's point
is -- which I think is a good one -- have them provide this
information in advance so that DRG can have a look at it,
and then, when we have the interview, we'll have the basis
of URG's --
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: And we could make an
evaluation right after that.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Is that correct, Jonathan?
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Okay.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: And I think -- I mean, I
have some really -- I really thought DRG would be here
today, 'cause the questions I have are really as much to
them. As an example, I don't -- on change orders, things of
that nature, i mean, that regardless of who the person is,
it's something we need to qet, in my mind, clearly worked
out before we go real far. I don't know if you wait until
after we try to negotiate a contract and do that, or it we
do it -- bring that up now. I mean, 'cause that's -- from
talking with Wayne Gondeck, it's still very -- because
they're professionals, there's very little we can do in
negotiations until -- and really discussion with them until
we select the one we want to negotiate with.

COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Right.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: That's why I'm saying
when we interview them, like, I'd almost be scared to ask --
any question I'd have would be something that would really
have to do with after we start negotiations. You know, and
I can see some, yeu know, problems developing with one of
them, potentially, things like change orders.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Well, the law is
pretty specific about t1iaL. You've got to direct those to
the person -- to the firm or group that you've selected, and
you rani play their answers off against somebody else and
get a better deal out of it. So, you know.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Kigrit. That's why I
think, you know, I would like to have, if possible, Wayne
Gonderk here at our nezct meeting, next Monday, to go over
the process a little bit, or maybe talk to him one-on-one,
if nobody else shares these concerns. Because I think, you
know, it's -- the process is new to me and to the Court, and
7 just want to make sure we're proceeding properly. And if
we're required to do an interview, that's fine, but if we're
nnt, I don't know that it's going to be a requirement.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Well, I wonder if, by
next week., if they could do just those things that are
listed in the bullets.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Right.

and then talk to those things and tell them that that's what
it will be limited to.
COMMTSSIONER LETZ: Right.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: I don't think, at this
point, we can ask them questions, as a matter of fact.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: That's what I was getting
at, as to why we have an interview.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: We can't ask them
questions.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Why?
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: You can ask questions
about these items that they're supposed to be prepared to
respond to.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Why don't we do this? Why
don't we -- w}iy don't we contact the top three, ask them to
provide us with this information by -- you know, within this
week, and put it on the agenda for next Monday to have
them -- more of a workshop discussion with Gondeck about the
process, and at the same time, we can set the interview
schedule.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I think that's too quick.
I think we need to ask them to provide this information and
give them a date next week, you know.

COMMISSIONER LETZ: Yeah, it can be next
Monday. I just think thar we're asking them to do a fair
amount of work, and they have other responsibilities. I
don't think we should expect them to drop everything they're
doing and come up with a drawing in four days.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Could we -- could we
couch a motion such that we could give the Judge the
authority to work that date as soon as pcssible through --
with and through DRG? In other wcrds, get DRG's opinion on
it. Can they -- 'cause they may know what these guys have
already done, if anything, and have a feel for the schedule,
rather than us trying to sit here and guess, can they do it
by next Tuesday or next Wednesday or whatever. Just let the
Judge work tkiat with DRG, and -- and with the idea that we
do it as quickly as we can.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Well, we can take -- take a
15-minute break and qo call.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I think that's
probably -- I mean, we can find out how long we should give
them.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Why don't we delegate
Commissioner Williams and Commissioner Letz to go call

regular -- this special session of the Kerr County
Commissioners Court, and we have a report from Commissioner
Letz and Commissioner Williams on the their conversation
with Mr. Gondeck.
COMMISSIONER. WILLIAMS: We did that. We have
had that. DRG will participate in the process. Based on

our discussions and whatever action we take today, they will
invite the top three that they have rated to be here at a
date we will Set for an interview process, and be prepared
to make whatever presentations were highlighted in this
Phase II, all these little notch marks there. And make
their presentation, answer questions from us, answer
questions from DRG, as long as it takes. And he says we
should allow about an hour for each of them. They will stay
-- DRG will stay with us. At the conclusion of the three,
they'll be prepared to work with us as we try to find a
solution to the question.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: But the other --
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Two weeks from now.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Two weeks is what he has
pretty much told them -- or he talked with all four of them.
That's the minimum amount of time they ~~ould do it in, and
that's pushing them quite a bit. And then the other point,
they present this at the interview, that information; that
there's nothing turned in before that. They present it and
go over it and have to address this information in the
interview. It may or may not be furnished to us all in
writing at the interview, but no one gets anything until
that interview. So, that's the purpose of the interview, so
they can give us this information,
JUDGE HENNEKE: All right.

COMMISSIONER W1LL1P,M5: And our questions
should be -- should be in regard to these things which
they're -- they're supposed to address to the Court. So, if
we want to talk about how they're going to build it, what
they're going to build it with, what's the cost going to be,
how they're going to able to phase it in, keep the place
functioning, accommodate the Stock Show -- in other words,
whatever questions arise, those are the questions we should
direct based on these things.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Does -- I haven't read
them. Does that include change orders? 'Cause I think Letz
is on to something there. That's --
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: He talked about that.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I talked to Wayne about
that. He says we could ask their general policy, what it
comes to and how they would handle it, but we cannot get
into anywhere negotiating how they handle change orders.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Sure. I understand
that.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: We can ask them what
their policy is on it, how they handle change orders. They
can tell us what they want. And then -- but whether we go
with some sort of a change order or, you know, cost-plus,
"X" percent, that's handled in the negotiation period.
COMM1SS10NER BALLWCN: Will that be handled?

'Cause --

COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: -- I see that kind of
as a loose end. We always end up in trouble with it.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Yeah. He said -- Wayne
says it can be handled -- explicitly put in the contract as
to how those change orders will be handled.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: He's suggesting the
17th, which meets his schedule, because he's goinq to be in
Kerrville on the 17th. I think there's a juvenile meeting
that morning, which you guys are doing the -- with him, the
juvenile facility, and he's going to be here. He's
suggesting 1 o'clock.
?EDGE HENNEKE: Yeah, it would have to be in
the afternoon.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: 1 o'clock?
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Tuesday, the 17th.
JODGE HENNEKE: I think what we'll -- let me
make sure that I don't have anything.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: We just do what we
do. They'll send the letters out.
rOMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: I have a question.
What is the process after that? How long --

decision?
COMMISSIONER LETZ; If we want to.
COMMISSIONER GRIP'NIN: If we want to.
COMMISSIONER LETZ; He says we should be able
to.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Should be.
COMMISSIONER. LETZ: And he's also going to --
the big boxes of stuff that we received, he will send five
of those copies back for us to each Iook at one, and prior
to the --
COMMISSIONER BALDW.IN: And the actual
decision is choosing one of these teams?
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Right.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Nothing else?
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Nothing else. We choose
the team, and then you go on to the negotiation with that
team. And then, if we can't make a deal with one, we go to
the next, on down the line.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: But after we select
the team, DRG does that negotiating for us, right? For the
contract, and bring back to us. That's one of their
responsibilities. Otherwise, what are we getting from them?
JUDGE HENNEKE: To a large extent, but it's
the Commissioners Court that has final say.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Sure.

JUDGE HENNEKE: One of the things that the
negotiation resulted in is a guaranteed maximum price.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Right.
JUDGE HENNEKE: So we walk away at the end of
that process knowing exactly what it's going to take.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I mean, I would think --
well, that's another topic. We can talk. about it after
that, where we go after the initial selection.
JUDGE HENNEKE: So --
COMMISSIONER BALDW:CN: 17th.
JUDGE HENNEKE: -- the 17th starting at
1 o'clock. Do we have a motion to invite the top three
teams, as evaluated by URG, to interview, beginning at
1 o'clock en the 17th, alotting approximately an hour for
each?
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: I think the motion
would be to invite DRG to invite them. They're doing the
inviting.
JUDGE HENNEKE: We invite them and DRG sends
out the notice.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: H11 right, yeah.
17th, 1 o'clock.

motion?
