1987 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM - REVIEW OF BIDS:
Prior to review of the bids, the Committee examined a letter
dated July 13, 1987 submitted by Public Service Company (PSC)
concerning the Street Improvement Program. PSC anticipates
replacing gas mains in seven (7) streets marked for resurfacing.
A construction schedule will be provided to the Town as soon as
possible. Staff advised those portions of Big Horn Drive,
Virginia Drive, Vista Lane, Fawn Lane, Village Green Lane, Shady
Lane and Country Club Drive scheduled for resurfacing will be
deleted, resulting in a savings of approximately $42 - 43,000 in
this year's project. However; the aforementioned streets will be
included in the 1988 Street Improvement Program. In an effort to
cooperate with PSC, staff intends to prepare project documents
early in 1988.
The project contained two (2) parts: Overlay and Seal Coat.
Bids for Part I are as follows:
Part I - Overlay
Flatiron Paving $102,916.00
Best Way Paving $106,803.68
Sterling Paving $109,472.00
Coulson Excavating $ 96,989.00
Don Kehn Construction $ 86,081.20
References were obtained and verified on all firms. The Commit-
tee recommends awarding the 1987 Street Improvement Contract -
Part I to Don Kehn Construction. The bid price will be decreased
by approximately $42 - 43,000 due to the deletion of seven (7)
streets. Increased staff participation will take place with
regard to testing to ensure quality control.
Part II of the project was bid by the square yard utilizing
"Reclamite" and, as an alternate "Gilsonite." Gilsonite has been
used in the past with excellent results. The per/gallon price of
Gilsonite is lower than that of Reclamite. Staff has
investigated both products and recommends Gilsonite be installed.
Bids for Part II comparing Gilsonite are as follows:
Part II - Seal Coat
Don Kehn Construction $ 32,708.00
Sterling Paving $ 32,708.00
Best Way Paving $ 31,481.55
The Committee recommends awarding the 1987 Street Improvement
Contract - Part II in the amount of $31,481.55 to Best Way
Paving.
Both bids will total less than the Engineer's Estimate of
$124,741.50.

POLICE DEPARTMENT AIR CONDITIONING UNIT - REVIEW OF BIDS:
Four requests for bids for the air conditioning unit to be
installed for the Police Department were solicited. One bid in
the amount of $10,492 was submitted by Wyco, Inc., Fort Collins.
The budget amount for this project was $5,500.00. The Committee
adjourned to the Police Department to view existing facilities.

recommends rejecting the bid and modifying the existing
thermostat and ductwork as an interim solution.

Arbor Day - Tree City, USA Program. The Program contains four
