NORTH LAKE DRIVE AVENUE — REQUEST APPROVAL TO SOLICIT BIDS.
Drainage damage occurred to the roadway shoulder and adjacent properties on each
side of the Dry Gulch Road near Sombrero Stables during the summer of 2004. The
preliminary drainage design began in December 2004 and the final design plan was
submitted to the Public Works Department in April 2005; therefore, this item was not
budgeted in the 2005/2006 budget. Staff recommends delaying the Twisted Pine
Drainage Project budgeted in the Community Reinvestment Fund for 2005 ($20,000),
making funds available for the North Lake Drainage Project (Preliminary Cost Est.
$10,000), which is a higher priority. The Twisted Pine drainage can be managed this
year through maintenance to prevent the culvert from becoming blocked.
The Committee recommends Staff be authorized to solicit bids for the North Lake
Avenue Drainage Project, returning to the Committee for final approval.
EAST RIVERSIDE CULVERT REPAIR — REQUEST APPROVAL.
In 2003, Staff became aware that the existing culvert under East Riverside Drive was
old and in poor condition. The cost to dig up, replace, and asphalt patch the 290' of
corrugated steel pipe is estimated at $50,000. Insituform Technologies is a worldwide
pipeline rehabilitation company specializing in injection fiberglass tubing for
underground facilities. Staff recommends the purchase of the custom fabricated pipe
relining product from Insituform Technologies, Inc. at a cost of $26,680 with an
additional $8,320 as a contingency for any unforeseen difficulties for a total of $35,000.
Work would be completed this spring in 2 working days, unless high runoff impedes the
schedule.
The Committee recommends: (1) approval to purchase the fiberglass pipe lining
for the East Riverside Culvert from Insituform Technologies at a cost up to
$35,000, and (2) a news release to demonstrate how the Town is leveraging
technology to limit disruption to the public.
AMENDED ANNUAL TREE REPLACEMENT PROJECT (RIVERSIDE PLAZA) —
REQUEST APPROVAL.
The Public Works Committee approved the solicitation of bids for the Annual Tree
Replacement Project scheduled this year in Confluence Park. One bid was received

from Estes Valley Home & Garden Center Inc. for $19,095. The proposed scope of
work from Estes Valley Home & Garden Center Inc. is substantially different from the
scope of work originally anticipated during the budget process. Due to the size of the
current cotton wood trees, all pavers would be removed from the area to allow complete
eradication of the root system. The contractor is confident, weather permitting, that the
project could be completed within a week. Staff recommends the project take place
after the Duck Race and before Memorial Day.
The 2005 and 2006 budgets each include $10,000 for this project, arid Staff is
recommending that half of the project be completed in 2005, with the remaining half in
2006. The project would start with Phase II which contains the most severe damage.
The Committee recommends awarding the first half of the Confluence Park Tree
Replacement project to Estes Valley Home and Garden Center, Inc. at a cost of up
to $10,000.
