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. 1992 OVERLAY PROJECT Bids for the 1992 Street Improvement Program were received July 16 as follows: Coulson Excavation/Loveland $72,750.00 Western Mobile/Boulder $55,250.00 B RADFORD PUBLISHING CO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 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. fTh JUL 2 8 1992 !PAO a;' TRU351ES Donna Heifner, Deputy •wn Clerk
