On January 6,1975,the Water Committee made a recommendation (approved January 14,1975)to participate with the Upper Thompson Sanitation District as set fourth in the Town’s water extension policy.Under the existing water extension policy the Town would pay for the increased size of the 880 foot water line from a location in Olympus-Bellview Heights to the Sanitation Plant. The estimated cost to the Town would be $3,200 The attached letter states the final decision of the Upper Thompson Sanitation District and that is as follows:The Town would pay $8,463 and the Upper Thompson Sanitation District would execute a change order with their contractor for the installation of an 8 inch DIP water line. The Water Committee makes the following recommendation to the Board of Trustees: Since receipt of the Upper Thompson Sanitation District’s latest request concerning the plant water tap,the Estes Park Water Committee has carefully examined its 1975 budget.In conjunction with the budget,the Water Committee is expecting to study a new Priority Construction Report from its engineers at the regular February meeting. Since a reply to Upper Thompson Sanitation District’s request cannot wait for further engineering study,or communication with possible future customers of an over—sized line,the Committee makes the following recommendations to the Board of Trustees: The Water Department still favors an over—sized line under provision of existing regulations regarding extensions,details of which have been reported to the Board of Trustees and Directors of Upper Thompson. If the Upper Thompson Sanitation District finds itself unwillingor unable to comply with this policy at this time,the Committee recom mends that the Upper Thompson Sanitation District select the water tap alternate agreeable to it under Estes Park Water Department regulations.The Committee does not presume to dictate the alternate, since the Upper Thompson Sanitation District also has its obligations and its monetary restrictions. c Fkflrv’ir’D S ____________________ 375 Dale G Hill,Town Administrator >,.:.. 00 1974 WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS Highway 7 -8”Main Highway Crossing Highway Crossing Highway Crossing “Y”—Junction —6”Main McGregor Line -4”Main Stanley Circle to Cummorrah Heights -4”Main Connecting Birch and High Street -4”Main High Pines -4”Main Line at City Dump -4”Main Majestic Pines Highway 34,Summit Drive -4”Main Pipe and Fittings in stock ________ Devon Drive —8”Main Twin Drive -8”Main Pine Lane -8”Main ACTUAL $69,951 5,740 9,600 2,368 4,134 17,936 2,500 6,268 $118,497TOTAL co ESTES PARK WATER DEPARTMENT 1975 MAIN IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM P.C.R.

(2)Change material of pipe as specified from 1”poly— vynlechioride (PVC)to ductal iron pipe (14”)(DIP). (3)Cooperate with the Town in the installation,by our contractor (Western States Construction Company),in the installation of 8”ductal iron pipe purchased from you at $6.90 per foot and complying with your recluire— ments relative details as indicated in your above referenced letter. We believe No.3 above represents the best option in supplying this District’s Waste Water Treatment Plant needs,and would materially benefit the community as a whole.As discussed many times in the past,our limits are rigid and dictated by the federally funded project in which we are now involved.Through consultation with our engineers,and our contractor,the following appears to be an objective solution: f a)Through a Change Order,UTSD will install 14”DIP in lieu of the 14”PVC as specified in the approved plans. WORK TO END POLLUHON ‘;00 MR.DALE HILL 2.January 24,1975 Estimated cost to UTSD ——$2,173.00 (b)Western States bid for constructing 8” DIP water line,with pipe purchased from Town stock at $6.90 per L.F.,basis cutting Hwy.34,not boring ——$10,636.00 Essentially,this District would be obligated to pay $2,173.00 over and above the Schedule II contract now held by Western States Construction Company.The overage of $10,636.00 would be reduced by that amount,leaving a difference of $8,463.00. We ask that you pay this difference in order that our combined efforts will result in future water service to property owners in the Spruce Knob and Fish Creek sectors. Your letter of December 13,1974 indicates an amount of $3,136.00 supportable by the current Water Line Extension Policy.During our recent phone conversation you indicated that you would make an effort to secure Committee agreement and accord in solving the problem. If you can secure approval by the Board of Trustees to spend an additional $5,327.00 we can proceed. If you cannot,we have no alternative but to proceed immediately as we previously planned soley providing water to our Treatment Plant. Please give us your reply by February 1,1975. Yours very truly, UPPER TH0IWS0N SANITA R.Carpenter, FRC:jm
