mends designating authorization to sign the contract.
EQUIPMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION &MAINTENANCE:
Superintendent McCracken requested permission to purchase a flatbed truck
with liftgate and anãir compressor with air hammer,air hose and drill
steel to 12 foot lengths.The Committee recommends obtaining competitive
bids on the truck and air compressor.Using State bid quotations,a 15,000
lb.GVW truck with 12 foot flatbed and liftgate will cost approximately
$5,150.00.An approximate cost on the air compressor and equipment is
$7,500.00.
There being no further business,the meeting adjourned.

Attn:Mr.Dale ci.Hill Re:Pumped Water Cost Stu—
Town Administrator
Dear Mr.Hill:
Following is our determination of the cost of furnishing water to a pumped
zone above the present Town gravity zone.
Two methods were used in figuring these costs,as detailed on the enclosed
calculation sheets.The cost by each method is:
Method A
Fixed -$33.10/lot/year (whether the lot is occupied or not)
Variable -$0.03/lot/i ,000 gallons used above minimum
Method B
Fixed -$30.70/lot/year (whether the lot is occupied or not)
Variable —$0.05/lot/l,000 gallons used above minimum
Fixed cost items are items of cost that occur whether water is pumped or not
and should be paid as a part of the minimum charge levied against every lot
served or that could be served by the pump station.Variable cost items are
items of cost that vary with the amount of water pumped and should be paid on
that basis.Fixed and variable costs were calculated on the same basis as
the present metered rate for water usage as given in the Town of Estes Park
Municipal Code.
It is felt that due to the relatively small number of commercial users as
compared to residential users,the fixed and variable costs are applicable to
all tap sizes,in addition to the present rates.These additional costs are
direct expenses to the Town and should be recouped as such,with any “profit”
being considered a function of direct water sales.
If you have any questions or comments,we will be glad to discuss them with
you either in person or by telephone.
Very truly yours,
DM]M —PHILLIPSREISTER,INC.

PUMPED WATER COST STUDY
I.Four items were used to determine the cost,and the factors affecting
each are as follows:
1.Electric Power:
a.Pumping rate —100 gpcd @ 4 people/lot.
b.Pumping efficiency —average of 70%,wire to water.
c.Pumping head —300 ft.Total Dynamic Head maximum.
2.Manpower (daily inspection):
a.Time —20 min./day x 6 days/wk.=2 hrs./week 104 hrs./year
3.Maintenance (other than inspection)
a.Frequency —2 times per year.
4.Equipment Replacement:
a.Frequency —
(1)Pump Building —30 years
(2)Controls and Electrical —10 years
(3)Pumps/Motors -5 years
II.Cost Figures were based on the following:
1.An average of 50 lots per area served by each pump station.
2.Town cost of electric power of $0.02/KWH.
3.Minimum yearly water usage of 30,000 gal ./lot,which equals
82 gal ./lot/day.
4.Total average usage of 400 gal ./lot/day,which equals
146,000 gal ./lot/year.
5.Manpower costs of $6.40/hour,base salary plus fringe benefits.
6.Maintenance material costs of $100.00 per time.
7.Building replacement costs of $7,500.00.
8.Controls and electrical equipment replacement costs of $1,000.00.
9.Pumps/Motors replacement costs of $2,000.00.
III.Method A:
Following is the cost breakdown per item -
1.Electric power (Fixed +Variable):
a.Fixed Cost —
82 gal ./lot/day pumped @ $0.02/KWH
=$0.0022/lot/day =$0.80/lot/year
b.Variable Cost -
400 -82 =318 gal ./lot/day pumped @ $0.02/KWH
=$0.0086/lot/day =$3.14 /lot/year
=$0.027/lot/l,000 gallons
Say $0.03 /lot/l,000 gallons

2.Manpower (Fixed):

a.Building -
$7,500 .00/30
b.Controls and
$1 ,000.00/10
years =$250.00/year

c.Pumps/Motors -

Total fixed and variable costs per lot per year are:
a.Fixed -

=5.00/“
=200/”
=8.00/“
$33 .10/lot/year
=$0.03/lot/l,000 gallons used above minimum.
One alternate is to consider a part of the equipment replacement costs
to be variable with the amount of water used,as the pumps and controls
will still need replacing,even though they are not used as often.The
building is obviously not dependent on the amount of water pumped.
Following is a cost breakdown per item number 4 —
4.Equipment Replacement (Fixed +Variable):
a.Building (Fixed)—
Same as Method A.
a.104 hours/yr.x $6.40/hour =$665.60/year

a.2 times x $100.00/time =$200.00/year.
=$4.00/lot/year
