CRYSTAL WATER PLANT - REDDEST TO APPROVE SALE OF FILTERS.
The Crystal Water Plant is no longer in service and staff solicited
bids for purchase of the plant's filter equipment. The only bid
received was from the Pinewood Springs Water District in the amount
of $14,219.00. This District would assume the task of removing all
equipment and piping from its current location for shipment to
Pinewood Springs and assume all liability related to this action.
The Committee recommends the Pinewood Springs Water District bid of
$14,219.00 be accepted.
CENTRALIZED MAIL DELIVERY
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is requesting a letter of
commitment stating the Town will budget $21,000 in 1993 for the
first phase of this project, said amount to be used to install the
collection box units (NBU's). The Committee recommends staff remit
a letter stating the Town will commit to budgeting $21,000 in 1993
for the first phase of this project.
MARYS LAKE WATER TREATMENT PLANT
Director Linnane reported that Rocky Mountain Consultants, Inc. has
corresponded with Jennison Construction Company on issues relating
to the Marys Lake Water Plant. Staff requests:
1. Approval to accept the insurance company's total fire
damage settlement of $1,201,000.00.
2. Acceptance of $200,000 as adequate retainage for the
entire project.
3. Extension of the project completion date to September 15,
1992.
Attorney White has reviewed these requests and the Committee
recommends acceptance.

Public Works Committee - July 23, 1992 - Page 2
Budget for the project is $75,000.00 which includes a budgeted
amount for street striping, additional curbing, and shouldering.
The Committee recommends acceptance of Western Mobile's bid in the
amount of $55,250.00.
COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (CDOT) 5 YEAR PROGRAM OF
PROJECTS
Staff reported that according to the E-470 Authority, funding for
the 4th part of this interstate is insufficient. The Authority has
requested CDOT provide financial aid which would be generated by
cutbacks in the 5 year program of projects. Estes Park has two
major projects in this five-year plan -- Highways 7 and 34. Estes
Park needs to state whether or not it would be willing to have
these two projects omitted from the program for the benefit of E-
470 funding. If the projects are deleted, there is no guarantee
they will again be added to the five-year program. Staff's opinion
is that relinquishing these two essential CDOT projects would be a
major sacrifice to the Town. The Committee recommends staff attend
an August 3rd meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, a
letter be prepared for the Mayor's signature stating the Town
believes both its projects are important (as well as the E-470
project), requesting a third alternative be submitted to all
affected communities, and this subject be discussed at the July
28th Town Board meeting.
REPORTS
The Committee reviewed the Customer Service Response and Monthly
Water Reports for June.
The Augmentation Plan and Tap Fee Study were delayed due to the
Marys Lake Water Treatment Plant fire.
Police Chief Racine presented statistics for the Park and Ride
System from June 14 through July 18. The plan has generated
approximately 70 spaces along with the MacGregor Avenue street
widening for a total of approximately 110 additional downtown
parking spaces. Ass't. Administrator Widmer commended all
participants in this project.
There being no further business, Chairman Habecker adjourned the
meeting at 10:25 A.M.
