MOCASSIN CIRCLE DRIVE RIGHT-OF-WAY - UPDATE: Pursuant to the Committee's request of August 14, 1986, Director Widmer consulted with Larimer County to determine if the County would be interested in a cost -sharing project to obtain the aforementioned right-of-way. Larimer County would prefer the Town explore all avenues, including the possibility of annexation prior to any obligation on behalf of the County. Larimer County has requested personal contact by a Town official be made to Larimer County Commissioner Hotchkiss. Following discussion, the Committee recommends no further action be taken at this time pending discussion with Town Attorney White. WIEST DRIVE PARKING LOT - REVIEW OF PEDESTRIAN SIGN: The Committee reviewed the proposed pedestrian sign which would be installed at the north side of the Wiest Drive Parking Lot, between Peacock Park and Wiest Drive. An estimate for completion of the sign that would match the existing streetscape signs is approximately $675.00 plus installation. Discussion followed with the Committee recommending the expenditure be tabled at this time, requesting Director Widmer resubmit the sign for further consideration in the spring. STREET EQUIPMENT - REVIEW OF BIDS: As authorized by the Committee August 14, 1986, the front end loader was rebid by Larimer Equipment and Honnen Equipment. A savings of $2,263 was realized by rebidding the equipment. The Committee recommends accepting the low bid in the amount of $37,806 including trade-in submitted by Larimer Equipment.

Castle Rock Colorado Lines, Inc Denver $0.14/L.F./5" center stripe $0.07/L.F./4" edge stripe $0.25/L.F./5" center stripe $0.12/L.F./4" edge stripe BRADFORD PUBLISHING CO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Works Committee - September 18, 1986 The bid includes striping East Riverside Drive, MacGregor Avenue, Peak View Drive, Stanley Avenue, Fish Hatchery Road, Virginia Drive, Manford Avenue and West Riverside Drive. Due to timing and amount of the contract, the Committee recommends accepting the low bid of $6,500 submitted by Kolbe Striping, authorizing Director Widmer to prepare a purchase order and proceed with the project immediately. ELM ROAD SEWER COLLECTION LINE - DISCUSSION: The Committee reviewed two letters submitted by the Upper Thompson Sanitation District. The letters addressed the fea- sibility of extending a sewage collection line in Elm Road that would be used by Larimer County, State of Colorado, Upper Thompson Sanitation District and the Town of Estes Park. If an agreement could be reached by the four governmental agencies, each agency's share would be approximately $16,750.00. If shared by the Town's three departments, each share would be $6,500. Such a project would necessitate various agreements such as an agreement for reimbursement, etc. The Committee recommends Public Works Director Widmer contact the Upper Thompson Sanita- tion District to determine possible reimbursements, returning to the Committee for further consideration. REPORTS: Weinland Construction requested and received a ten-day extension on the Prospect Mountain (NE) Drainage Project. A street patch located on Third Street was unacceptable; Flatiron Paving will replace the patch. This project should be substantially com- pleted by the end of the week. The Highway Department informed the Town its application for Transit Development Program funding has been forwarded to the Federal Government. The application has received a favorable response; if approved, the Town's portion of the program would be 30%. The 1986 Street Improvement Project is nearing completion. The Fish Hatchery Restoration Project sponsored by the Division of Wildlife is also nearing completion. The Committee reviewed a letter submitted by Alton Cook, Regional Director/Federal Emergency Management Agency. Mr. Cook compli- mented the Town on completion of Tregent Park. Director Widmer advised a tour of the Public Works facilities will be conducted in the near future. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. Vickie O'Connor, Town Clerk S EP 3 01986
