PARK SHOP RELOCATION — REQUEST FOR APPROVAL.
Dallman Construction and Basis Architecture submitted a cost estimate and quote for
$250,000 to demo and rebuild the park shop east of the CVB parking lot and west of the
Estes Park Sanitation District (EPSD) building next to the existing greenhouse. The
tentative schedule is to begin construction of the new metal building (tan with a forest
green roof) this fall and allow the parks employees to remain in the old building during
construction. Upon completion of the new building, the old shop would be raised to allow
the parking area to be graded and paved. The tentative completion date for the entire
project is April/May 2006. The bid does not include the asphalt driveway adjacent to the
new shop or the relocation of the existing fence. The EPSD has granted the Town an
access easement and requests the shared access be paved prior to construction this fall.
Trustee Jeffrey -Clark questioned the size of the new park shop and if it would be large
enough to house employees and the equipment. Mgr. Sievers stated the proposed
building is Phase I and has been designed for future expansion if and when the need
arises.
Following additional discussion, the Committee recommends approval of the bid
from Dallman Construction and Basis Architecture to build a metal park shop
building at a cost up to $250,000 including approximately $6,000 in contingency
from the Community Reinvestment Fund.
ESTES PARK SANITATION DISTRICT (EPSD)/NEW PARK SHOP SHARED
DRIVEWAY — REQUEST APPROVAL TO SOLICT BIDS.
Dir. Linnane stated the EPSD granted the Town an access easement across their
property creating a shared driveway. EPSD has requested this access be paved to
eliminate dust created by the increased traffic. Mgr. Sievers clarified the EPSD plant
control building directly west of the shared driveway houses the department's electronic
equipment that is highly sensitive. Staff estimates paving this portion (Phase I) of the
driveway this fall at a cost of approximately $20,000. Phase II of the paving will be
completed in the spring of 2006 in conjunction with the CVB parking lot paving. In
addition, the current EPSD fence runs along the north edge of the proposed park shop
building. In order to secure the site properly prior to construction, staff requests the
relocation of the existing fence along the southern perimeter of the property at a cost of
approximately $7,000. Concluding discussion, the Committee recommends approval
of paving Phase I and the relocation of the fence this fall as outlined above at a
cost up to $27,000 from the STIP fund.
