Prompt Payment Provision. Bills are due and payable within ten (10) days after the
date thereof at the office provided by the Company. If paid within ten (10) calendar
days after the date thereof, the net rate shall apply; otherwise, the gross rate

Adjustments for Changes in Cost of Gas.- The rates stated above are predicated on a
cost of gas to the Company of 41.07¢ per thousand cubic feet computed at a pressure
base of 14.65 pounds per square inch absolute payable under the provision of the
Compnay's gas supply agreement dated December 17, 1971, with its wholesale supplier,
Pennzoil Pipeline Company, for gas purchased by the Company for distributi6n.iin.
Jefferson County, Texas, to such residential and commercial customers, Whenever,
because of the price adjustment provisions of said Gas Supply Agreement, the cost
to the Company of such purchased gas for residential and commercial customers is
more or less than 41.07¢ per thousand cubic feet, then, the rates stated above shall
be increased or decreased, as the case may be, with appropriate correction for
differences in pressure base, by (a) the amount of the difference between the cost
per thousand cubic feet of gas payable at the time by the Company under the provisions
of said Gas Supply Agreement and 41.07¢ per thousand cubic feet, plus (b) the
applicable proportionate part of any change which occurs, as a result of such increase
or decrease of the rates above, in any taxes or other governmental impositions or
charges levied on the basis of the price of or the Company's gross revenues from
the gas service rendered. The new rates resulting from any such adjustmemt shall be
computed to the nearest tenth of one cent per thousand cubic feet.
Any such adjustment of the rates stated above shall be applied to all bills rendered
more than 30 days after the effective date of the change in the Company's cost of gas;
provided, however, that no such adjustment shall be applied to any bill unless the
Company shall previously have filed with this municipality a sworn statement setting
forth the change in the Company's cost of gas, the change in the rate stated above
resulting therefrom, and the calculations by means of which such change in the
rate stated above has been computed.
Special Terms and Conditions of Service. The use of the above rates is subject to
the Company's standard rules and regulations insofar as the same are applicable and
are not specifically modified herein.
Section 2. In the event any increase in wholesale price made effective by the
Company's wholesale supplier on or after January 1, 1970, is subsequently disallowed
by final order of any Federal or state regulatory authority or court having
jurisdiction in the premises, in whole or in part, the Company, promptly after
receipt of any refund from the Company's wholesale supplier incident to such
disallowance, shall in turn refund to its customers served hereunder the portion of
said refund (including any interest constituting a part thereof, but without
addition to any further interest) to which such customers, taken as a group, may
be entitled on the basis of their purchases of gas hereunder during the period or
periods of time when the wholly or partially disallowed price increase of the
Company's wholesale supplier was effective. Such refund to the Company's customers
served hereunder shall be made by applying an appropriate credit to the amount of
all gas bills issued for service rendered during a period of 12 consecutive months
commencing not more than 60 days after receipt of the refund from the Company's
wholesale supplier.
Section 3. All Ordinances or parts of Ordinances and amendments which are in con-
flict herewith are to the extent of such conflicts only expressly repealed.
J
Section 4. The rates provided herein are authorized as maximum rates and may be applied
as to deliveries and service of natural gas for residential and commercial service
during all the monthly billing periods of the supplier commencing after the effective
date of this Ordinance.
Section 5. The meters of customers shall be read regularly at intervals of approxi-
mately one (1) month, and the term "month" means a period of approximately thirty
(30) days intervening between two consecutive meter reading dates; provided, if ser-
vice is voluntarily discontinued by the consumer or is discontinued for nonpayment
of bills between meter reading dates, then the term "month" shall mean the period
between the last meter reading date in regular course of business and the date of
such discontinuance.
Section 6. That nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed in any way or manner,
now or hereafter, to limit or modify the right or power of the City Council under the
laws of the State of Texas to regulate the rates charged by Southern Union Gas
Company, its successors or assigns, for service within the City of Nederland, Texas.

Mr. D. B. Henson, City Manager,
City of Nederland
P. 0. Box 967
Nederland, Texas 77627
Re: Job No. 3- 69 -10D; City of Nederland, Texas, Waste Treatment Plant
Dear Mr. Henson:
On or about June 27, 1972, Port City Construction Company, Inc., as Contractor and
the City of Nederland, as Owner, entered into a written contract for the construction
of captioned project. Chas. R. Haile Associates, Inc., is project Engineer under the
contract. Subsequently, a dispute ,arose between the parties as to the completion of the
project and the non - payment of retainage. Contractor filed suit against the Owner and
Engineer, seeking payment of the retainage in the amount of $62,100.59, interest, and
attorneys' fees in the amount of $12,000.00.
Representatives of the various parties met on January 31, 1975, to discuss and, if
possible, agree upon an amicable resolution to the apparent contract dispute. A tentative
agreement, which is to be in the form of a recommendation to the Nederland City Council
for approval, was reached during the course of the negotiations. The following numbered
paragraphs outline the basic tenets of the agreed proposal, as I understand it.
1. The existing contract will not be changed or altered. The rights and obligations
of all parties will be governed by said contract.
2. Contractor will endeavor to make the lift station blower operative without undue
delay.
3. When, and if, the lift station blower has operated satisfactorily for twenty -four
(24) consecutive hours, the project Engineer will issue his Certificate of Completion.
4. Upon issuance of the Certificate of Completion, the Owner will tender final pay-
ment to Contractor in the amount of $62,100.59, which is the contract retainage.
5. Commensurate with final payment, Contractor will pay Owner $5,000.00 as con-
sideration for Owner's assumption of responsibility for uncompleted work, to -wit: (1)
Repair of internal wall bracing in treatment tanks, and (2) drainage and roadways.
b®
Minutes Continued, February 4, 1975
6. Commensurate with final payment, Contractor will tender a certified check in
the amount of $21,762.30, payable to Owner, which will be deposited into an escrow accoun
controlled by the joint signature of Contractor and Owner. Said funds will be released
from escrow and paid to ENVIROQUIP, INC., a supplier of Contractor, upon the written
approval of Contractor and an authorized representative of ENVIROQUIP, INC.
7. Upon receipt of final payment, Contractor will promptly dismiss with prejudice
its law suit against the Owner and project Engineer, the same being No. B- 100,768, and
styled Port City Construction, Inc. vs. Chas. R. Haile Associates, et al, filed in the
60th District Court of Jefferson County, Texas.
Very truly yours,
