RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Public Buildings and Parks Committee
July 16,1968
Committee:Chairman Petrocine;Trustees Steele and Swanson
Attending:Chairman Petrocine;Trustees Steele and Swanson
Also Attending:Town Clerk Hill
This meeting was held at the request of the Estes Park Public Library
Board.Attending and representing the Library was Mesdames Staley,
Bigler and Keck.The Library Architect,Mr.DeVilbiss,also attended.
Mr.DeVilbiss explained that the new Library building would be re-bid
in September.Only one bid was received at the last bid opening and
this was in excess of the architect’s estimate.State aid requires
not less than three bids.The original estimate was $36,500.00 and the
bid received was $40,192.00.The mechanical portion of the bid amounted
to $7,200.00.This included electric heat in both the old and new
sections of the Library.Mr.DeVilbiss is of the opinion that when
the project is re-bid,the mechanical portion should amount to not more
than $6,000.00
The Library Board requested the Town of Estes Park pay forty percent of
the electric heating cost ($2,400.00).This request will be lowered in
proportion to the accepted bid,should the accepted bid be lower than
the $40,192.00 bid.The Committee recommends to the Town of Estes Park
that consideration of this request be given in either the 1968 or 1969
budget.
Due to the excessive costs involved in matching the Spanish tile,the
Library Board is planning to remove the Spanish tile from the old por
tion of the Library and roof both the old and new buildings with cedar
shakes.The Committee concurred in this decision.
Mr.DeVilbiss informed the Committee that about twelve hundred square
feet of sod will be available to the Town.The Town will make arrange
ments to remove this sod if it is decided the sod is needed.
There being no further business,the meeting adjourned.
