Mayor Pinkham called the meeting to order at 4:30 p.m.
VISIT ESTES PARK (LMD) BRANDING
Peggy Campbell/President and Kirby Nelson provided an overview of the Brand
blueprint, new logo and tag lines to be used in the branding effort. Culturalization would
be the next phase and include the entire community from businesses to the local
citizens. The new logo would be trademarked and uses of the logo clearly defined in
order to not oversaturate its use. It was suggested the Town Board may want to review
and update the Mission and Vision for the Town to take into consideration the branding
message.
FAIRGROUND – STALL BARN, MPEC & SEWER LINE
Director Zurn stated the pre-bid meeting was held with six firms in attendance to review
the site infrastructure and earthwork to support the facilities, including the extension of
the Upper Thompson Sanitation District (UTSD) sanitary sewer line from the manhole
located along Community Drive through the Fairgrounds site to the Northwest quadrant.
Staff continues to work with UTSD on the tap fees for the new seasonal use of the stall
barn and/or MPEC facilities.
Drawings for the staff barn are nearing completion. The energy code and building code
requirements for assembly use requires extensive insulation which has added $2 to $3
per square foot with overall cost of approximately $60,000.
The 2013 budget would include funds for the civil site work and sanitary sewer
improvements. The stall barn and MPEC structures would not be added to the budget
until the Board decides which building to move forward with in 2013. The current
timeline requires the Board award a contract for either building on December 11, 2012
in order to complete construction before the 2013 season; however, the MPEC pro
forma would not be completed until the end of January 2013. Discussion followed:
Trustee Ericson stated the stall barn should be built with Community Reinvestment
funds and the MPEC should move forward to the citizen for consideration; Trustee
Norris stated funding is the critical path for both projects and should be determined
before making a decision; Trustee Phipps stated alternate funding options should be
discussed; Mayor Pro Tem Blackhurst commented the MPEC is a larger facility that
would house more stall and provide the Town with more options; and Trustee Koenig
stated both projects are needed to meet the number of stalls required, and therefore,
she would like to investigate funding both projects;
Director Zurn recommended pushing bid openings for both the stall barn and MPEC to
January to preserve the bid prices for 90 days thereby providing additional time for
consideration on which project to build.
Town Board Study Session – October 23, 2012 – Page 2
Administrator Lancaster stated financial options would be brought forward in January for
the Board’s consideration. He would recommend the Board review the pro forma before
making a decision with the knowledge that neither project would be completed by June
1, 2013 if a decision is not made in December. The consensus of the Board was to
waiting for the pro forma in January and to discuss financing options.
POLICY GOVERNANCE I
Policy 1.6 & 1.7 – Committee Principles & Boards and Commissions
The Board discussed term limits: Mayor Pro Tem Blackhurst and Trustee Koenig would
not be in favor of term limits for volunteer positions in which individuals have a desire
and subject knowledge to serve the public; Separate taxing districts should have the
right to make a decision on reappointment; Trustee Ericson would be in favor of defined
term limits; and Trustee Norris stated he would be open to no term limits. After further
discussion it was the consensus of the Board to remove term limits.
A statement shall be added to state the Board would determine the length of the term.
Policy 1.8 Board Liaison Roles
The Board discussed the need for a liaison for each Board appointed Committee or
Board. The Board requested the removal of the word “shall” and replace with “may
appoint” a liaison. The Mayor would make the final decision on which Trustee would be
appointed to special committees or assignments.
There being no further business, Mayor Pinkham adjourned the meeting at 6:45 p.m.
Jackie Williamson, Town Clerk
Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado, October 12, 2012
Minutes of a Regular meeting of the TOWN BOARD BUDGET STUDY
SESSION of the Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado.
Meeting held at Town Hall in said Town of Estes Park on the 12th day
of October, 2012.
Board: Mayor Pinkham, Trustees Blackhurst, Elrod, Ericson,
Koenig, Norris and Phipps
Attending: All
Also Attending: Town Administrator Lancaster, Assistant Town Administrator
Richardson, Finance Officer McFarland, Chief Kufeld,
Directors Chilcott and Zurn, Coordinator Winslow, and Town
Clerk Williamson
Absent: None
Mayor Pinkham called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m.
Finance Officer McFarland stated after the discussion of the museum storage facility
funding at the October 5, 2012 budget study session, staff has revised the CRF to hold
the current set aside funding of $200,000 and not budget additional funding in 2013.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
The department provides planning services for the entire Estes Valley and building
safety services for properties within Town limits. Planning has included the addition of a
Code Compliance Officer/ Planner I position for 2013; hiring a consultant to organize
and update geographic data to improve public access of information; analyze
population, housing, land use, economic date and trends to assist in future decision-
making; and continue outreach to enhance Planning and Building Safety services with
the assistance of a customer service consultant. Revenues have been increase slightly
in 2013 with an increase in development, and personnel costs increase with a
promotion of Planner II to a Senior Planner and the addition of the proposed position.
The division has a goal to answer questions within 1 to 2 business days, which currently
is not feasible with the current staff levels.
Protective Inspection (Building) has seen an increase in permit activity for the third
straight year with a corresponding increase in revenues for 2013. The construction
focus has been on commercial development, redevelopment and the continuation of
projects stalled during the economic downturn. The commercial construction has
moved away from condominium development for vacation homes. Personnel levels
decreased in 2012 with the vacancy in the Plans Examiner position earlier in the year.
The position was recently filled with a Senior Building Permit Technician. It was
determined the work performed by the Plans Examiner was more in line with a Permit
Technician. This change has shifted workloads in the department with the Chief
Building Official completing plans examines. O&M increases in 2013 to hire a seasonal
intern to assist with an increase in permits during the summer, fund improvements to
the Town’s addressing system and purchase of a color scanner to facilitate the creation
of digital files.
COMMUNITY SERVICES FUNDING REQUESTS (General Fund)
In past years organizations requesting funding through the community service grants
have been given the opportunity to address the Board during the budget study session.
This year the organizations have been directed to come to the first Budget hearing on
November 13th to provide comment. Finance Officer McFarland stated the grant
Town Board Budget Study Session – October 12, 2012 – Page 2
funding has remained flat in 2013 with a reduction in funding to Sister Cities and Estes
Park Housing Authority. Trustees Ericson and Koenig and Town Administrator
Lancaster met to review grant applications and reviewed each to determine the number
of people served and affected by the services provided. A few applications were denied
because it was determined local government should not fund other government entities
or faith based programs. The review team also discussed the continued funding of the
arts once the performing art theater has been completed. Specific funding by category
is outlined below with funding totaling $267,400 as follows:
The Board requested funding allocated for the EALA Winterfest event be moved
to the Special Event division in order to provide full funding in January during the
event versus the quarterly payments for grants awarded.
Trustee Elrod stated a number of items paid for through the Contingency line item in
Legislative should be included in the Community Services Grants such as the
sponsorship for Cultural Arts Council, Winterfest, American Legion Scholarship, Duck
Race sponsorship, etc. Mayor Pinkham stated a number of these expenses are not
known by the organizations by the time the Town is preparing the next year’s budget. It
was proposed the Contingency fund be renamed the Mayor’s Discretionary fund
as the requests are made directly to the Mayor. The issue would be discussed
further during the development of policy governance.
POLICE
The Police Department includes services for Patrol, Support Services, and Community
Services divisions. Total revenue for 2013 of $222,567 has decreased due to the lack
of grants to offset the Restorative Justice case worker position. In 2013, the department
reorganization would include the reinstatement of a vacant Police Officer position
placed on hold since 2005, addition of a Communications Supervisor in dispatch,
reestablish sworn Sergeant in patrol and create an Administrative Sergeant position,
funding of half of Restorative Justice Case Worker not funded by grants, and reinstate

Mayor Pinkham called for a five minute break at 9:35 a.m. and resumed the meeting at

PUBLIC WORKS
• Buildings – Manages 20 Town owned structures and maintenance contracts for
janitorial services and other systems. The division would add a Facilities
Manager in 2013, increase janitorial services for both Town Hall and public
restrooms, conduct a system wide facility assessment, and design and
construction oversight of Public Works and Utilities office remodel. Revenues
increase with the addition of the Rocky Mountain Park Inn food and beverage
concession funds moved from Community Services. The Board requested staff
review building rents to ensure rates reflect fair market value.
• Engineering – Projects for 2013 include the development of a standards manual
compatible with Larimer County to be used by consultants and contractors
working on Town projects; public education for the development of alternative
funding methods for the sustainability and maintenance of public infrastructure,
streets and storm drainage; funding pavement index update; development and
implementation of Elm Road leachate; and the design for the reconstruction of
Dry Gulch in 2014. The Board requested information on the street
conditions and funding needed to reach 80% street index rating by 2017.
• Streets – In 2013 revenues are estimated slightly lower than 2012 levels with
decrease in expense as STIP projects and funding are moved to CRF. The
division has budgeted for the purchase of a mini excavator for small projects,
purchase of a hydraulic snowblade attachment for parking lot snow removal, and
purchase of replacement vehicles. Director Zurn stated the mandate to replace
street signs with reflective signs was removed and changed to a
recommendation. Staff continues to change out signs that are damaged or worn
out with proper signage. Staff would review the appropriateness of
purchasing the excavator from the Vehicle Replacement fund. Discussion
followed on the appropriate level of funding for the STIP, whether or not the fund
balance should be decreased to 25% to fund STIP at $800,000 to $900,000, and
the need to fund the STIP to meet the Board objectives for 2013. The Board
requested staff review options and present proposed STIP funding for
2013.
• Parks – The division’s expenses increase slightly in 2013 with a slight increase
in personnel costs with O&M remaining flat. Staff would continue to work on
Bond Park landscape areas; assist in the design and development of the next
Bond Park phase; and oversee design and construction of the irrigation system
at the fairgrounds and continue to investigate and mitigate trash issue as it
relates to bears. Staff has also proposed a new Art in the Park program in 2013
along the trail system. Administrator Lancaster stated a public art policy would
be forth coming in the near future to outline the type of art that would be
accepted by the Town and how art would be maintained. Mayor Pro Tem
Blackhurst questioned the addition of funding for a children’s play area in the
next phase of Bond Park as the Stakeholder Committee had requested the
Town Board Budget Study Session – October 12, 2012 – Page 4
removal of the item because it reduces the flexibility of the area and would date
the improvements to the park.
TRANSFERS
2013 transfers from the General Fund include a $800,000 transfer to the Community
Reinvestment Fund, $435,000 to CRF for STIP funding, $35,000 to CRF for Public
Works and Utilities office remodel and $1.9 million to the Community Services Fund.
CONSERVATION TRUST FUND
This fund contains revenues from the State lottery and is used to fund bark beetle
management, weed mitigation and tree replacement for Arbor Day. The capital includes
the family play area in Bond Park which will be reviewed to determine if it should be
included in the budget.
OPEN SPACE
The Open Space Fund reflects the Town’s portion of a one-quarter of 1% sales tax
increase that was passed by Larimer County voters in 1996. The funds are for trails
and open space purchases and maintenance; the Fund will sunset in 2018. Revenues
in the amount of $260,000 are estimated for 2013, with expenses totaling $262,561.
The budget for this Fund contains expenditures of $225,000 for Bond Park
improvements.
COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT FUND - Discussion
The Board discussed the proposed format for 2013 with comments summarized: Mayor
Pro Tem Blackhurst contended the fund was developed to address funding for new
capital projects requiring long term financing and not maintenance items; it was
suggested a separate fund for capital maintenance be developed rather than lumping
them into the CRF; Trustees Ericson and Norris stated placing all capital improvements
in one fund has improved the visibility to the Board and the public on the overall capital
needs of the Town and aids in the Boards prioritizing items; Trustee Norris suggested
subheading be placed in the fund to identify the projects that are required legally,
community reinvestment projects, capital versus maintenance, etc.; Mayor Pro Tem
Blackhurst stated routine and maintenance items from individual department funds have
been moved into the CRF and the items don’t belong in the fund; and Trustee Koenig
stated the fund has lost its integrity and the flow of money is difficult to discern.
Administrator Lancaster recommended staff continue to develop the fund with the Board
suggestions, while maintaining the integrity of the fund, and viewing all capital projects
in one fund.
LOCAL MARKETING DISTRICT FUNDING REQUEST
The Board discussed the request by the LMD for 2013 and is summarized: the Town
should invest in street and fairground improvements; the LMD has seen an
approximately 19% increase in revenues; the LMD has spent $75,000 of its emergency
reserves that could be replaced by the Town; the LMD has chosen to write a deficit
budget and the Town should not cover the additional expenditures; Town provided
funding in 2012 to complete branding with the understanding additional funding
requests would not be forthcoming; and the $50,000 funding would be for the new
website. The Board consensus was to provide no funding in 2013.
There being no further business, Mayor Pinkham adjourned the meeting at 12:05 p.m.

5% with a net fund balance of $288,172, an increase in General Fund transfer of $1.9
million, the addition of a Transportation Coordinator in the Visitor Center budget, and an

to experience mission creep with the addition of an employee and ongoing committees.
Coordinator Winslow stated the position would be working on transportation related
issues 75% of the year and would be available to work on projects for the other
divisions in Community Services the other 25%. Trustee Norris requested a review of
the job description and an understanding of how the other divisions would utilize the

visitors.
• Senior Center – The 2013 budget increase the part-time Senior Center
Coordinator to a full-time position, increase funding for food service contract to
cover meals provided to the customers on a sliding scale, reduction in revenues
due to a decrease in funding by United Way, and a new Senior Expo planned
and being coordinated with the Hospital. The Senior Center in conjunction with
the Museum is in the process of reviewing proposals for a master plan; therefore,
no new construction would be scheduled until the process is complete.
• Special Events – The Town continues to work on the MOU with Western
Heritage to address expenses and revenues as it relates to the Rooftop Rodeo.
This change would have a minimal effect on the division’s bottom line, for
example Western Heritage would take over sponsorships and in turn pay for
expenses related to the rodeo. Revenues are anticipated to increase in 2013
with the completion of the new stall barns. The budget contains the repair of the
vinyl fence, lease for a water truck for 45 days during the summer and the
addition of one FTE. The Board requested staff review the possibility of
transferring funds to Community Services for the leasing of the water truck
from the Vehicle Replacement Fund. Trustee Ericson requested a list of
the 2013 events to provide a better understanding of the Town’s investment
in community events. Trustee Elrod stated other departments support
events; therefore a list including all Town support for events would provide
additional details on services provided and true costs.
Mayor Pinkham stated the Town has provided financial support to the
Irish/Scottish Festival for a number of years at $35,000 and would request the
Board consider increasing the funding to $50,000 to help defray increasing costs
and sustainability of the event. The parade cost $140,000 to produce and no
revenue is raised from this event; however, the Town benefits from the parade by
bringing people downtown. Discussion was heard: Trustee Elrod stated the
event is not sponsored by the Town and the funds are spent outside Town limits
to house the bands at the YMCA; the event is critical to the Town; additional
information would be required to assess the need for additional Town funding;
the Town should conduct a cost analysis of this event and all other events to
determine the benefit; and additional information would be needed on the current
financial status of the event before a commitment could be made by the Town.
Town Board Budget Study Session – October 19, 2012 – Page 3
Administrator Lancaster suggested the item be discussed at an upcoming study
session and have Dr. Durward present to provide more detail on the event such
as financial information and future plans for the event. He commented P&L
reports would provide detail on the benefit of each event to the Town; however,
some events are beneficial to the community without providing positive revenue
for the Special Event division. Staff continues to work with Visit Estes Park
(LMD) to develop an event analysis report to understand each events impact to
the town as a whole.
• Museum – The division would be producing a new brochure to be used for the
next two years, hire a temporary Collections Assistant to complete the museum
inventory, and continue work on the Master Plan in conjunction with the Senior
Center. Revenues and Personnel costs have been budgeted flat and a slight
increase in overall O&M costs in 2013. Staff has proposed a moratorium on
accepting additional items for the collection until the inventory can be completed.
A discussion ensued on the needs of the division including staffing. Staff
assessed and cancelled an even and has turned away shows because of a lack
of staffing. Other needs include additional computer memory for the database.
Staff would be reviewing strategies for owning a server in 2014. A staffing
analysis was completed and demonstrated the need for an additional FTE. After
further discussion, the Board requested an additional FTE be added to the
Museum for 2013.
• Transportation – The Shuttle Committee met throughout 2012 to study and make
recommendations to improve the free shuttle service. The Committee has
recommended the following: additional $90,000 for 10 additional days of service
(total of 83 days) to start the service earlier in the year, 1 additional hour in the
evening for the brown route, addition of a downtown only trolley route and
addition of a fulltime Shuttle Coordinator. Brian Wells/Seasonal Shuttle
Coordinator stated the addition of the trolley would alleviate the delays
experienced by the red route in 2012 by removing some stops downtown thereby
removing shuttle traffic downtown. This change would also allow the addition of
other beneficial stops to the red route. It is anticipated the Town would purchase
a used trolley utilizing the Vehicle Replacement Fund.
The Board discussed other transportation items including the addition of
automatic people counters on the shuttles; the need to review the cost benefits of
the counters before moving forward with the purchase and installation on the
leased shuttles; adding a program such as a punch card to track local use; the
addition of bike racks; and other avenues for generating revenue, i.e. advertising
on the buses or on benches at bus stops.
Mayor Pro Tem Blackhurst stated the proposed 2013 budget includes a 29%
increase to the shuttle system with a 3% increase in ridership. He commented
on the increased funding does not appear to be warranted, and the Town has a
Town Board Budget Study Session – October 19, 2012 – Page 4
number of other projects it needs to fund. Assistant Town Administrator
Richardson stated the service is still growing and requires upfront funding. The
addition of the trolley rather than an additional shuttle bus is to create a unique
experience downtown.
Mayor Pinkham called a break at 9:50 a.m. and reconvened at 10:05 a.m.
UTILITIES
• Light & Power – With the elimination of the Catastrophic Fund in 2012 the funds
were distributed from the General Fund to the Light and Power and Water funds
in 2012. The additional funds have allowed the department to add a capital
project for 2013. Changes for 2013 include the continuation of the Allenspark
circuit upgrade with tree cable, addition of an administrative personnel shared
with Water to conduct inventory, new customer processing and budgeting,
continue the development of the distribution computer model, purchase of a new
electric meter test bench, replacement of street lights on Highway 7 with LED
lights with a seven year payback, conduct a rate study and implement 900 MHz
radios. Revenues are projected to increase in 2013 with the increase in the
purchase power rider and the addition of the 1.4% rate increase approved in
2011. Source of supply has increased as PRPA continues to improve
transmission, plant improvements and other future capital projects. The PILOT
calculation decreased in 2013 as an industry standardized calculation was used.
Mayor Pro Tem Blackhurst questioned if the bond rate for the $6.18 million at
3.875% should be reviewed. Finance Officer McFarland would review the
current rates to determine if the bond should be refinanced.
• Water – As with Light and Power, the department’s fund balance increased with
funds redistributed from the Catastrophic Loss Fund, which corresponds to an
increase in capital expenditures in 2013. Projects include the continued
development of the distribution computer model, replacement of the Big Horn
Drive waterline (from Elkhorn to the bypass), upgrades of the automation
software, replace process analyzers, automated meter reading installation, water
system master plan, addition of administrative personnel shared with L&P, water
rate study and the addition of 800 MHz radios. Revenues are projected to
increase with the last year of the 5.6% increase approved in 2011. Personnel
cost increase with the addition of personnel and proposed restructuring.
The budget includes funding for additional tap fee to increase the capacity of the
Marys Lake Water Treatment Plant. The plant has the capacity to produce 4
mgd; however it is limited to the amount of discharge by the UTSD tap. The
department is setting aside funding to offset future costs of taps to increase the
Town Board Budget Study Session – October 19, 2012 – Page 5
capacity as needed. The Town entered into an MOU with UTSD during the
remodel of the plant to purchase half the capacity (2 mgd) and allow the Town to
purchase additional taps as needed to increase the capacity. The current cost of
the taps for full capacity (4 mdg) is $750,000.
Mayor Pro Tem Blackhurst stated his understanding is UTSD would increase
rates by 8.5% for the next 5 years and he would question the sewer costs
budgeted.
Trustee Elrod questioned the staffing allocations to the utility funds, stating they
are not intuitive. Administrator Lancaster stated staff would review the
allocations and the rationale and bring a report forward to the Public Safety,
Utilities and Public Works (PUP) Committee for further discussion.
THEATER FUND
Finance Officer McFarland stated the funds in the account were anticipated to be
dispersed in 2012 but it will not happen until 2013.
MISCELLANEOUS
Mayor Pro Tem Blackhurst commented on the significant technology deficiency at the
Conference Center, and stated the facility is not competitive with other nearby facilities.
Mayor Pinkham called a break at 11:30 a.m. and reconvened at 11:35 a.m.
Finance Officer McFarland provided a review of the 2012 CRF projects with proposed
costs and a $1.4 million fund balance. The Museum and Senior Center Master Plan
was moved to 2013 with the knowledge the item would not be completed in 2012. He
requested some direction from the Board on what items should be included in the 2013
CRF. He stated the Elm Road mitigation is mandated to be completed and the costs
are a place holder as the Town does not know what the final mitigation plan will
encompass. Other projects as they relate to liability or matching funds include the
bleachers, Birch Ruins fencing, and the parking structure. All other projects identified
are discretionary including Performance Park overlay, transportation hub irrigation,
PW/Utility Office remodel, Museum Master Plan, and street improvement program
(STIP).
Board discussion has been summarized: Trustee Ericson stated the STIP should be
increased to $900,000 by reducing the General Fund balance to 25%; Trustee Koenig
questioned if the Town should fund improvements to the conference center and would
like the Board to have further discussion on whether or not to keep the center; Mayor
Pro Tem Blackhurst and Assistant Town Administrator Richardson stated the Rocky
Mountain Park Inn has expressed they are not interested in purchasing the center; and
Town Board Budget Study Session – October 19, 2012 – Page 6
Administrator Lancaster stated staff would come back to the Board with a report on
options for the center.
Director Zurn stated the Town has submitted an RFP for consulting services to develop
a mitigation plan to be approved by the State to address the leachate at the landfill. The
Town would request the plan be implemented over 5 years; however, the State may
require the Town complete the plan within a year by removing all drainage from the site
and incurring the cost in a single budget year. There is an outside chance this is a
groundwater issue and not a surface water issue. Administrator Lancaster stated there
is some indication there might be other issues contaminating the site.
The civil site work for the improvements at the Fairgrounds has been issued and would
be coming forward for consideration in November. The stall barn and the MPEC bid
packages would be issued in November with final numbers coming forward in
December for the Board’s consideration. Director Zurn advised the Board in order to
complete the stall barn prior to the 2013 season a decision would need to be made in
December.
Finance Officer McFarland stated the budget approved for 2013 would most likely
change during the year as the Town gains additional information on the cost of projects.
A timetable would be developed when financing options are identified, including the
option of selling Town owned property.
There being no further business, Mayor Pinkham adjourned the meeting at 12:00 p.m.

PUBLIC COMMENT.
John Guffey, Eagle Rock School, said “The Hero’s Journey” class focuses on career
development as well as civic engagement and becoming a contributing member of
society. Students commented that the class is helping them understand the

development in Estes Park.
COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
SENIOR CENTER AND MUSEUM SITE MASTER PLAN CONTRACT.
Managers Fortini and Mitchell reported that the proposals received from the Request for
Proposals (RFP) for the Senior Center / Museum Site Master Plan have been evaluated
with one firm being unanimously selected by the review committee. The firm of
Anderson Hallas Architects, PC was recommended based on their experience working
with municipal governments, prior experience with museums and senior centers, the
completion of over 50 master planning projects in the past 10 years, and their
understanding of fiscal restraints. The firm’s proposed fee, including a 10% contingency
is a not to exceed amount of $89,000, from funds budgeted in the Community
Reinvestment Fund, #222-5400-544-22-02. The master plan project will begin after the
first of the year; will take approximately six months to complete; and will include
community involvement through public forums, meetings, and presentations. The
Committee supported the efforts of staff in defining the scope of the project, identifying
the Museum and Senior Center as two separate divisions, and involving stakeholders in
the review and selection process. Chair Ericson voiced concern with the timing of the
contract approval, calling it premature. He said the Town Board still needs to set
priorities for 2013 related to investments in studies as well as project implementation
and said this topic should be addressed after the budget process has been completed.
Assistant Town Administrator Richardson noted that $25,000 was originally budgeted in
2012 for the master plan but the project became more complex as the scope was
defined, and said the outcome of the master plan would provide information to assist in
allocating funds for capital projects. Town Administrator Lancaster said that without a
capital improvement plan in place it is difficult to match projects with revenues, however,
the Town is proceeding with other capital projects. He agreed that the information
provided by the master plan would be valuable when making decisions to allocate
monies to capital improvements at the Senior Center and the Museum. The
Committee requested that the Master Plan Contract be discussed at the
upcoming Town Board meeting. Town Administrator Lancaster will initiate the
Community Development / Community Services – October 17, 2012 – Page 2
discussion during the Town Administrator Report. The Committee suggested that
contracts taken to the Community Development / Community Services Committee and
the Public Safety / Utilities / Public Works Committee be heard as action items by the
Town Board rather than being included on the consent agenda.

PUBLIC COMMENT.
Doug Klink, County resident, said he is planning to develop commercial rental space on
property located in the industrial/heavy commercial area of Elm Road and commented
that the current water tap fees for this type of commercial construction are based on
fixture units. He said the tap fees for the project could cost up to $32,000 and account
for 10% of the cost of constructing the units. He proposed the Town consider
alternatives to the current pricing structure that may be more encouraging to industrial
development. Chair Blackhurst suggested Mr. Klink visit with Dir. Bergsten on this
topic, and noted that Estes Park has one of the lowest water tap fees in the Front
Range.
Johanna Darden, Town resident, requested that the Town take steps to erect a fence
around the property leased by Waste Management to keep bears and other area wildlife
away from the trash at the transfer station. Chair Blackhurst said that her comments will

• The Water Conservation Plan will be brought forward to the Town Board at
the November 27, 2012, Town Board meeting. Dir. Bergsten noted that no
public comment has been received to date.
• Long-term large maintenance expenditures must be done under GASB 62
regulations for rate-setting entities.
• Money for demolition of the Fall River treatment plant was budgeted in 2012,
however, the cost has been determined to be higher than originally expected.
This project has been put on hold at this time. Staff proposes using the
monies for the refurbishing of diesel generators acquired from Rocky
Mountain National Park.
• A report related to the Town’s water rights will be prepared for presentation to
the Committee by Attorney White, Dir. Bergsten, and Supt. Boles.
• Joe Lockhart will serve as interim superintendent following the retirement of
Todd Steichen.
2. Verbal Updates –
• Live internet streaming of Town Board and Committee meetings is now

• A portable PA system has been acquired for the Museum which will enhance
the functionality of the meeting room.
• Front Range Internet, Inc. (FRII) has increased internet speed at no cost to
the Town for municipal staff.
• Staff is investigating a program that would allow customers to make credit
card payments for Town services. One program being researched is offered
through the Statewide Internet Portal Authority (SIPA), which hosts the
Town’s website. SIPA charges and retains a convenience fee on these credit
card transactions. Chair Blackhurst encouraged staff to explore the
commercial market, as well, to find the lowest processing fees.
• IT needs at the conference center are being researched.
PUBLIC WORKS.
FAIRGROUNDS SANITARY SEWER AND CIVIL SITE WORK CONTRACT.
Dir. Zurn presented the bid results for the sanitary sewer and civil site work for the
Stanley Fairgrounds. The scope of the work includes installation of the sewer main to
serve the future MPEC and stall barn buildings, excavation work to prepare the pads for
both buildings, and a gravel roadway to access the area during construction. Based on
geo-technical investigations, some blasting is expected to be necessary and is included
in the bids. They are as follows:
Firm Name Base Bid
Coulsen Excavating $338,515.00
Duran Excavating $369,192.75
Public Safety/Utilities/Public Works Committee – November 8, 2012 – Page 3
American West $339,578.50
Connell Resources $390,812.65
Bob Ames Construction $317,550.00
Heath Construction $520,800.00
Staff recommends contracting with low-bidder, Bob Ames Construction at a cost of
$317,550, plus a 10% contingency for a total of $349,305 from the Community
Reinvestment Fund. Chair Blackhurst said he was unaware that pad preparation was to
be included in the scope of work, stating this is a sewer line issue. He questioned why
building pads would be prepared for structures that may or may not be built, and noted
that the bid amounts are $60,000 to $70,000 higher than originally estimated. Dir. Zurn
stated that staff was given direction by the Board to move forward with the bidding
process for this work. He said that the excavation and pad preparation needed to be
completed prior to the ground freezing in order for construction to occur over the winter
months and have a structure completed and ready for use during the summer of 2013.
He noted that private sector costs have gone up as much as 40% over the past two
years, resulting in higher costs. Town Administrator Lancaster concurred that the civil
site work, pad preparation, and sewer line installation were all part of the Board’s
previous discussions. He said the site work could be removed from the scope of work
but that removing it would delay construction. Dir. Zurn said that removing the site work
from the scope of work would be a substantial change and would more than likely
require the project to be re-bid. In addition, the changes to the project’s scope may
attract different vendors. After discussion, the Committee recommends that the
contract for the Stanley Fairgrounds Civil Site Work and Sanitary Sewer be
considered by the full Board as an action item at the November 13, 2012, Town
Board meeting. The Committee also requested that the contract be reviewed by
Attorney White prior to the meeting.
REPORTS.
Reports provided for informational purposes and made a part of the proceedings.
1. Bond Park Phases I, III, and V Update – Repair work on MacGregor Avenue
continues. Following a proof roll performed by the Town, additional excavation was
recommended and structural road base was added to stabilize the subgrade. Tests
indicate that compaction rates over 95% have been achieved. A final proof roll will
be performed by the Town prior to the reinstallation of the sand and pavers. A
completion date of November 21, 2012, is expected.
Phase V – Underground and concrete work has been the focus of Phase V
improvements at this time. The contractor is working to have the sidewalk and
seatwalls along Elkhorn Avenue completed by November 21, 2012. Some work may
be done on the pavilion structure during the winter, weather-permitting.
2. Crack Seal Update – A-1 Chipseal, Inc., has satisfactorily completed the chipseal
project on Town roads utilizing 155,000 pounds of material. Staff recommends
budgeting funds annually in the STIP for this type of road maintenance, with the
maintenance programs being completed on a biennial basis.
3. Verbal Updates –
• Skating Rink – Installation of the rink is underway and it may be ready for use
during the week of Thanksgiving. The Estes Valley Recreation and Park
District (EVRPD) will operate the rink, with maintenance of the facility
remaining with the Town.
• Hiring for a new facilities manager position will proceed after the first of the
year.

Board of Trustees
Town Administrator Lancaster
From: Alison Chilcott, Community Development Director
Date: November 13, 2012
RE: Annual Comprehensive Plan Report
Background:
Comprehensive Plans articulate a desired future to inform decision-making today. Over
the past year staff has spent a significant amount of time with the Planning Commission
working toward a revised Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan. The current plan was
adopted in 1996, with a statistical update in 2008.
The Planning Commission will be presenting their recommendation about how to update
the Comprehensive Plan to the Town Board at the November 15th joint Town
Board/Planning Commission work session and requesting direction from Town Board.
The Planning Commission considered six options ranging from no update to a
comprehensive update. The Commission is recommending that in 2013 facts are
reviewed and updated, obsolete references and information that is no longer relevant is
removed.
This recommendation has no impact to the budget. Staff would draft the update and no
consultants would be required. Public input would be solicited at regular public
meetings. There would be no additional outreach or public meetings since there would
be no change in vision or concepts.
Also over the past year, staff and the Planning Commission have updated the status of
the Action Plan; attached for Town Board review and comment. This portion of the
Comprehensive Plan was intended to be reviewed and modified on an annual basis.
Budget:
To be determined
Staff Recommendation:
This is a report to the Town Board.

RECOMMENDED ACTION STATUS COMMENTS
Establish an open space and preservation funding and management program
There are numerous unique natural and physical resources within the community as well as a
community‐wide desire to acquire open lands. In order to implement this process, a specific
funding and management program must be developed. Identifying both specific funding
sources and priority properties will help to insure that this becomes a reality. This may
include working with local districts and/or land trusts as land managers.
Staff:

Update utility master plans
On a long‐term basis, it will be necessary for the utilities system to relate to the proposed

GROWTH MANAGEMENT
RECOMMENDED ACTION STATUS COMMENTS
Prepare a growth rate history
Develop the detailed history for the Valley which includes growth in population and its
relationship to development activity. Building permits are one of many tools which can be
utilized to build this historic perspective. Corresponding information should be gathered for
the region and the state in order to understand the relationship between these areas and the
Valley. This information can then be used as the basis to determine desired future rates of
growth.
9 2007 Build‐out Analysis
Prepare service capacity and cost analysis
In order to serve the future land use as described within the plan, it will be necessary to
evaluate infrastructure service capacity and the cost of delivery within different areas. This
information can be utilized to develop more detailed build‐out scenarios as well as long‐term
operating strategies for infrastructure provision.

transportation needs within the Valley. This would require cooperation between the Town
and Rocky Mountain National Park in order to evaluate solutions in and outside of the Park,
and to insure joint funding.
y Staff:

Acquire land for Big Thompson open space
Along the Big Thompson River, south of the downtown core, additional open space should be

Prepare second floor housing strategy
Within the downtown core, significant opportunities exist to develop residential units on the
second floors of existing one‐story buildings. In addition, new development could easily
accommodate residential units on the second floor at a substantially reduced cost. Incentives
should be developed to support this strategy and reduce the costs for developers.

The Lone Tree Apartments are under construction. This project will assist local residents and
employees to access affordable housing options. 9 Completed in 1998. The Pines were purchased in 2006.
Define residential infill areas and strategy
Within the downtown core and a number of neighborhoods immediately adjacent to the
core, significant infill opportunities exist. By identifying these areas and creating a special
incentive zoning overlay, these opportunities and the associated density incentives would be
made apparent. It may also be possible to work with local lending institutions to coordinate
the use of Community Reinvestment Funds in these areas.
y
May 10, 2010 Comp. Plan Review Committee:
1. Continue efforts to promote attraction and retention of younger families and a stable work force
2. Provide improved guidelines for infill development and open space, both in the downtown area and
beyond.
Evaluate accessory structure options
Within the core and in a number of outlying areas, it may be appropriate to allow accessory
structures such as Garage Apartments or Attached Units. Specific criteria should be created
to define more specifically where such development should be encouraged.
9 Proposed EVDC Amendments denied by Town Board
Evaluate commercial residential linkages and incentives.
Because a substantial portion of impacts associated with employee housing can be correlated
with development of commercial or lodging uses, it may be appropriate to link these uses to
the creation of affordable/employee housing. Programs could be incentive‐based or tied to a
direct requirement based on the number units or square footage developed.

FINANCE Memo
To: Board of Trustees
Honorable Mayor Pinkham
Town Administrator Lancaster
From: Steve McFarland – Finance Officer
Date: November 13, 2012
RE: Presentation of 2013 Budget
The attached 2013 budget document is the result of staff preparations from the early summer –
present, public and Board input from the budget sessions of October 5th, 12th, and 19th, and
developing events over the past month.
Miscellaneous revisions
Discoveries were made during the review process that involved:
1. Clarification of categories.
2. Updates of 2012 data.
3. Minor miscellaneous changes in content/syntax that were identified have been
corrected.
Changes/important items ‐ in accordance with Official and Draft Minutes from October 5th,
12th and 19th Budget Sessions:
Changes to the previously presented 2013 Budget documents include:
1. A newly updated budget with all corrections is provided with this packet.
2. With each update to the 2013 Budget, current data from 2012 is also imported. This
sometimes affects forecasted fund balance totals for 2012, and subsequently 2013.
3. The ice rink project has been added at $75,000; $50,000 in 2012 in Parks (101‐5200‐452‐
24‐03), and $25,000 in 2013, also in Parks (101‐5200‐452‐24‐03). There is no
corresponding revenue budgeted, although some is expected, we’re not sure how much
and want to be conservative in our estimates.
4. The crackseal project of $80,000 has been added in 2012 in Streets (101‐3100‐431‐35‐
51).
5. Support for the Estes Area Lodging Association ($5,000) has been moved from
Community Service Grants (101‐1900) to Events (222‐5500‐455‐23‐02).
Page 2
FINANCE Memo
6. A Museum collections curator has been added, and the seasonal position removed,
from the Museum (222‐5700) in the Community Services Fund. The approximate net
cost is $40,000. The Events department (222‐5500) was also revised to reflect a more
accurate forecast of end‐of‐year 2012. This resulted in a downward pressure on existing
fund balance. In order to maintain fund balance levels similar to the preliminary
budget, the General Fund increased its transfer to the Community Services Fund by
$50,000 in 2012, and $45,000 in 2013.
7. Increases to health insurance‐related costs were estimated at 15% in the preliminary
2013 Budget, and have been reduced to 5% in the current iteration. This positively
affects all department/funds with personnel costs.
8. Following the above revisions, the 2013 General Fund fund balance reported at 28%. To
reduce the fund balance to 25%, $346,789 was available to be transferred to the
Community Reinvestment Fund (CRF) for deployment as the Board sees fit. The new
General Fund budget shows this amount being transferred to the CRF in 2013, thus
lowering the General Fund’s forecasted fund balance to 25% as of 12/31/13.
9. The Community Reinvestment Fund has the following modifications:
a. The $346,789 transfer from the General Fund is shown in the top (general
revenue) section of the CRF. It is not applied to any specific project, and is
available for deployment at the Board’s discretion.
b. The Museum Master Plan has been changed from $25,000 to $81,000 and
moved from 2012 to 2013.
c. The Museum Storage Facility set‐aside has been suspended at the $200,000
level, and is listed below the ending fund balance. The amount is included in the
2013 ending fund balance of $1,943,954.
Staff remains keenly aware of the ever‐increasing challenges presented in an economy with
revenues and resources that are outstripped by expenditures and demands. Staff is pleased to
present a budget attempting to address, where appropriate, stated Town goals, while
continuing to target a 25% fund balance in the General Fund.
ADDENDUM (November 9, 2012)
An historical grid of full‐time employees by year/department has been added to the end of the
budget document. In addition, updated overviews of the General Fund and all Funds have been
added, also at the end of the budget document.

The Friends of Stanley Hall donated funds to the Town of Estes Park for the purpose of construction of a performing arts facility.
If construction of the facility is deemed unfeasible, by 05/31/2012, the funds are to be donated a non-profit organization dedicated
to the support of the performing arts. If construction is deemed feasible, Friends of Stanley Hall has 8 additional years to use funds.
As of the 2013 Budget approval date, Town Board has begun the process of looking into divesting and closing the Fund.

contractors.
4.5(l) Storm Water Management Plan. The Project is being developed in accordance with a
Storm Water Management Plan (“SWMP”) as required by the Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environment. The SWMP imposes requirements for the design,
implementation and maintenance of Best Management Practices (“BMPs”) to eliminate
and/or mitigate all prohibited discharges into storm drains during and after construction of
the Project. Contractor will be subject to the SWMP and all BMPs established pursuant to
the SWMP. All activities undertaken by Contractor or Contractor’s agents, employees,
sub-contractors or representatives or others for whom Contractor is responsible, with

BMPs include, but are not limited to, preventing run-off of soil, sand, sediment, oil,
gasoline or other hydrocarbons, paint, fertilizers, pool chemicals, other household
chemicals and other debris into the storm drains located in the Project. The SWMP
affirmatively obligates Contractor to take immediate corrective action whenever there is a
violation of the BMPs as to the Work. Penalties include significant fines that will be
imposed against Contractor for violation of the SWMP or BMPs. Any violation of the
SWMP or BMPs attributable to Contractor shall be the sole responsibility of Contractor,
including the obligation to pay any and all fines assessed against Contractor, Owner or
the Project attributable to Contractor’s violation.
4.6 Site Conditions.
4.6(a) Verification of Existing Conditions and Warranty.
4.6(a)(1) Prior to beginning the Work, Contractor will carefully examine the Site, all
previous work, all adjacent areas that may be affected by the Work, and all Contract
Documents (where applicable) and fully satisfy itself as to the nature and location of
the Work and fully acquaint itself with all conditions, including subsurface condit ions,
which in any manner may affect the Work.
4.6(a)(2) Contractor assumes the risk of any variances between the actual conditions and
the conditions shown or indicated in the Contract Documents, to the extent Contractor
knows or should have known of such actual conditions, unless Contractor provides
written notification to Owner prior to start of the Work. In all cases where dimensions
are governed by field conditions that are already established, Contractor has full
responsibility for correct knowledge of the actual conditions.
4.6(a)(3) If Contractor deems that surfaces or work to which it’s Work is to be applied or
affixed are unsatisfactory or unsuitable, written notification of said condition(s) must
be given immediately to Owner. By commencement of the Work, Contractor
warrants that all related, adjacent or dependent work and materials are
acceptable. Contractor is responsible to Owner for all damage or delay in
connection with any failure of the Work due to defects or damages in the underlying
surface of the Site or previous work by others.
4.6(b) Lines and Grades. If necessary, Owner will provide Contractor with base
control points within fifty (50) feet of property lines, and with other lines, benchmarks and
reference lines. Contractor acknowledges that as part of its Site inspection, it must verify
the extent of such reference points to be supplied by Owner for Contractor’s Work. If
reference points are missing or Contractor finds the points inadequate, Contractor must
immediately provide written notification to Owner. Absent written notification, Contractor
assumes full responsibility for the accuracy of all lines, levels, and measurements and
their relation to benchmarks, property lines, and reference lines. In all cases where
dimensions are governed by conditions already established before Contractor starts the
Work, Contractor has full responsibility for correct knowledge of the actual conditions. No
variation from specified lines or grades may be made except on the written direction of
Owner’s Authorized Representative. Contractor will bear all costs for correction and
associated delay in connection with line or grade deviations unless Contractor can
establish that the Engineer’s staking was in error, and the error caused the need for
corrective work.
4.6(c) Underground Lines. Contractor is solely responsible to contact the “U.S.A.”
Utility Location Service at 1-800-642-2444 for a staked location of all underground utilities
prior to starting the Work, if necessary. Contractor is solely responsible for all costs for
correction and associated delay in connection with repair of all utilities, marked or
unmarked, damaged by it during performance of the Work.
4.6(d) Archaeological Monitoring. There may be archaeologically sensitive zones on
the Site. Archaeological monitors may be present on the Site on a full or part time basis.
In the event archaeological artifacts are discovered during performance of the Work, the
appropriate governmental agency has and retains all right, title and interest to such
artifacts and has the right to perform archaeological excavations as deemed necessary.
In the event of archaeological examination and related delays of the Work, Contractor will
be entitled to an extension of time to complete the Work, subject to Section 4.9. However,
Contractor has no claim for damages or compensation for the delay.
4.7 Subcontractors and Suppliers.
4.7(a) List of Subcontractors and Suppliers. Contractor must provide Owner with a
list of the names and addresses of all subcontractors and suppliers who are to perform
work for and or supply materials to Contractor in connection with the Work. Contractor
must not make any substitution or addition to the list without first notifying Owner in
writing. Contractor is solely responsible to Owner for the performance of its
subcontractors and suppliers and their compliance with Applicable Requirements, and the
Contract Documents.
4.7(b) Payment of Bills. Contractor must timely pay for all labor, materials, equipment,
transportation, and services, including applicable taxes, ordered for or used in the Work
by Contractor. If Contractor fails to make any payment, Owner has the right, but not the
obligation, to make payment directly to any of Contractor’s laborers, subcontractors or
suppliers or for the account of Contractor and to deduct the amount of the payment from
any amounts due and owing to Contractor. If the funds payable to the Contractor are not
sufficient to cover this amount, Contractor must promptly pay the difference to Owner on
demand.
4.7(c) Liens. Contractor must not allow any claim of lien or statutory withholding notice
to be recorded against the Site or served against Owner and must provide to Owner, on
demand, satisfactory evidence of any payment in dispute. If any lien, notice, claim of lien
or any attachment is recorded in connection with the Work, Contractor must cause such
lien or attachment to be removed. In the event Contractor fails to have any lien or
attachment removed within fifteen (15) days after Owner’s demand, Owner may take
whatever actions it deems necessary in order to remove such lien or attachment, at
Contractor’s cost (including attorney’s fees and costs incurred by Owner).
4.7(d) Materials and Alternatives. If any items specified in the Contract Documents
are discontinued, unavailable, or if Contractor desires to use a suitable alternative,
Contractor must notify Owner in writing as soon as possible and must submit a list of
alternatives with all necessary information pertaining to specifications, applications,
characteristics, warranties, and costs. Owner’s written approval is required prior to
installation of any alternative.
4.8 Labor Relations.
4.8(a) Independent Contractor. Contractor is an independent contractor and is solely
responsible for payment of all federal and state taxes and insurance and contributions for
social security and unemployment taxes, which are based on the wages, salaries or other
compensation paid by Contractor to its employees.
4.8(b) No Illegal Aliens. Contractor must employ, and must cause its subcontractors
to employ, only American citizens or non-citizens with legal United States work
authorizations and at all times must obey all Applicable Requirements concerning the
employment of persons at the Site, including without limitation the requirements of the
Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and the Immigration and Naturalization
Service’s rules and regulations.
4.8(c) Employment and Labor Regulations.
4.8(c)(1) Contractor must comply with all Applicable Requirements concerning equal
opportunity employment and warrants that it and its subcontractors and suppliers are
equal opportunity employers.
4.8(c)(2) Contractor recognizes that in the performance of the Work, it may be necessary
to work side by side with other contractors on the Site who may, or may not, be
signatories to collective bargaining agreements with labor organizations. Owner
reserves the right to establish a “two gate” system at any time during performance of
the Work. Contractor will not be relieved of its obligations to supply sufficient,
properly skilled workers to perform the Work without delay or interruption as a result
of any labor dispute between Contractor, or any of its subcontractors or suppliers,
and their respective employees. Contractor will not be entitled to any adjustment to
the Contract Price and must pay any increased costs as a result of any labor dispute
involving its own forces or the forces of its subcontractors or suppliers. However,
Contractor will be entitled to all direct out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred
and may seek an extension of time as a result of a strike affecting a trade or product
generally, as agreed upon by Contractor and Owner’s Purchasing Department.
Contractor represents and warrants, and will provide evidence upon Owner’s request,
that neither it nor any of its subcontractors or suppliers are delinquent in making
payments or reports to any union fringe benefit trust fund or appears on any
delinquency list published by any union fringe benefit trust fund.
4.9 Time of Performance.
4.9(a) Sequencing and Schedule of Project. Contractor acknowledges that Owner has
complete control over the timing and sequence of the Project. Owner’s Authorized
Representative will provide a Construction Schedule to Contractor. The Construction
Schedule will set forth the start date for the Work as well as the date for the Completion of
Work and any intermediate milestones. The Construction Schedule is to provide Owner
and Contractor with a general framework of the time for Contractor’s performance. The
actual schedule will depend on a number of factors such as weather, market conditions
and other matters in the discretion of Owner, and Contractor must not proceed with any
part of the Work ahead of time designated by Owner without prior written authorization.
Owner reserves the right to provide an updated or amended Construction Schedule at any
time and Contractor must immediately proceed in accordance with the amended
Construction Schedule. Contractor must coordinate its Work with any other contractors
so there will be no interference with work of others.
4.9(b) Sequencing of Work. Contractor acknowledges it is responsible to perform all
elements of the Work in the proper sequence and the Work in the proper sequence with
work of other contractors. Contractor will not proceed with work out of sequence without
providing written notification to Owner.
4.9(c) Timely Completion of Work. Contractor must complete the Work in a prompt
and diligent manner and achieve the Completion of Work in accordance with the time
designated in the Construction Schedule. Contractor acknowledges that failure to meet
the Construction Schedule is a material breach of the Contract. If Contractor is behind in
the Work or if any portion of the Work is not commenced, performed, finished and
delivered at the time established by Owner, Owner may direct Contractor, on forty-eight
(48) hours notice, to furnish additional labor and expedite deliveries of material and
equipment, at Contractor’s cost. If additional labor is not available, Owner may require
Contractor to work overtime or additional shifts (and/or weekends and holidays) to such
an extent as will be sufficient to achieve the Completion of Work or any portion of the
Work in accordance with the Construction Schedule, all at Contractor’s cost.
4.9(d) Mandatory Overtime. In order to expedite completion of the Project or the
Work, Owner may direct Contractor to work overtime. Contractor must work overtime as
directed by Owner and, so long as the overtime was not caused by the delay of
Contractor, its subcontractors, suppliers or others for whom it is responsible, Owner will
pay the actual extra cost of overtime over Contractor’s normal labor rates. Contractor
must not mark-up such costs for overhead or profit. Time slips covering overtime must be
checked and approved daily by Owner’s Authorized Representative.
4.9(e) Remedies for Delay. Contractor is not entitled to recover from Owner any
additional compensation or impact or other damages on account of any delay or
disruption to work flow, whether caused in whole or in part by Owner or others.
Contractor’s sole remedy for such delay will be an extension of time to perform, which will
be subject to Owner’s written approval. Contractor must make any request for an
extension of time within three (3) calendar days of the event giving rise to the request.
The request must be in writing and reasonably detailed, including without limitation
specifying the cause of the delay and the anticipated number of delay days. Contractor’s
failure to timely deliver a request constitutes conclusive and no rebuttable evidence that
no time extension is due.
Section 5. CHANGES TO WORK
5.1 Owner’s Right to Change Work. During the course of the Work, Owner may make changes to
the scope of the Work, including additions to and deletions from the scope of the Work. Owner will
request a Change Order from Contractor for each change. Owner may also authorize an extension
or shorten the time required to perform the Work, and/or change the Work as described in the
Scope of Work, by requesting a Change Order from the Contractor or by issuing a FPO to the
Contractor describing the Work. Work performed under a Change Order, FPO, or TMA is subject
to all of the terms and conditions of the Contract Documents.
5.2 Contractor’s Compensation for Change Order.
5.2(a) Mutually Agreed Upon Change. If a Change Order increases or decreases
the scope of the Work, then the Contract Price will be adjusted accordingly as mutually
agreed upon by the parties. All mutually accepted changes to the Work and the Contract
Price will be fully set forth in a written Change Order signed by both parties.
5.2(b) Proceeding Without Agreement. If the parties cannot agree within five (5) Business
Days after Owner delivers the proposed Change Order as to whether any particular work
is a change to the Work, or should result in adjustment to the Contract Price, or the
amount of the adjustment, Contractor must nonetheless timely perform the alleged
changed or extra work, if directed to do so in writing by Owner’s Authorized
Representative. If Contractor believes that the Contract Price must be increased because
of the changed or extra work, Contractor must submit a written “Notice of Intent to File
Claim for Additional Compensation.” within five (5) Business Days after Owner’s
Authorized Representative delivers written direction to proceed with the changed or extra
Work. Contractor’s Notice must reasonably describe the basis for the requested
adjustment to the Contract Price. Contractor must keep and submit to Owner on a daily
basis a complete breakdown of all costs incurred for the extra Work, including a labor
breakdown by name of person, hours worked, and task performed for each worker
performing the extra Work as well as a similar breakdown for all equipment used and
copies of all invoices and delivery tickets for materials used.
5.2(c) Requirement of Notice. Contractor’s failure to timely deliver a “Notice of Intent
to File a Claim for Additional Compensation”, or maintain and deliver an accurate cost
breakdown and supporting documentation, constitutes conclusive and no rebuttable
evidence that no changed or extra Work was performed and that no payment for the
alleged changed or extra Work is due to Contractor. No notice by Contractor or Owner is
required if the change will result in a reduction in the Contract Price.
5.2(d) Calculation of Price Adjustment. In the absence of agreement as to the
amount of the Contract Price adjustment to be made for any changed or extra Work, the
increase or decrease to the Contract Price will be determined on the basis of: (1) unit
prices, if any, set forth in the Master Agreement, unless calculating the adjustment in this
manner would be inequitable; (2) Direct Costs plus a mark-up, (any increase or decrease
in Direct Costs, as defined in the Master Agreement, plus or minus a mark -up of not more
than fifteen percent (15%) for Work performed directly by Contractor and an aggregate of
five percent (5%) for Work performed by all tiers of subcontractors, for an aggregate mark-
up not to exceed twenty percent (20%)); or (3) the stated price, if the item of Work is
separately priced in the Master Agreement. Labor rates in connection with any change are
those set forth in the Master Agreement. In any case, Contractor will deliver to Owner
information reasonably acceptable to Owner substantiating the claimed adjustment.
5.3 Requirement of Writing. The scope of Work, Construction Schedule and Contract Price may be
changed only by a written Change Order, or FPO signed by Owner. This requirement is of the
essence of the Contract Documents. Accordingly, no course of conduct or dealings between the
parties, nor express or implied acceptance of alterations or additions to the Work, and no claim that
Owner has been unjustly enriched by any change in the Work, whether or not there is in fact any
unjust enrichment, will be the basis for any claim for an increase in the Contract Price.
5.4 Contractor’s Compensation for Field Purchase Order (FPO). Contractor will be compensated
for any work performed pursuant to the terms and in the amount set forth in the FPO.
Section 6. PAYMENTS
6.1 Contract Price. Contractor must perform the Work for the Contract Price set forth in the Contract.
The Contract Price covers all costs, foreseen or unforeseen, incurred or to be incurred by
Contractor to perform and complete the Work, including without limitation, all applicable labor,
materials, payments to subcontractors or suppliers, rental charges, sales, use and other similar
taxes, multiple move-ins, communication and copying costs, insurance premiums, taxes, applicable
permit fees, testing fees, royalty and license fees, utility charges, guaranties and maintenance
bonds required by the Contract Documents, as well as Contractor profit and overhead.
6.2 Changes to Contract Price.
6.2(a) Requested Price Change. If Contractor experiences a change in its cost to
complete the Work, Contractor may propose a price increase or decrease to Owner on
sixty (60) days’ prior written notice. Contractor must justify any requested price increase
with adequate documentation demonstrating an increase in Contractor’s price for labor,
materials, supplies, overhead or equipment necessary for completion of the Work. Owner
has the sole discretion to accept, reject or modify Contractor’s proposed adjustment.
6.2(b) Price Change Procedure. If after a review of Contractor’s proposed adjustment
and documentation Owner approves a price change, a written Change Order will be
issued and executed by Owner and Contractor setting forth the new agreed-upon
Contract Price. Any adjustment under this Section will apply only to Work to be performed
on the project that is begun after the date the Change Order is fully executed. Contractor
must complete all Work on the project that was started prior to the date a Change Order is
fully executed at the agreed upon Contract Price in effect prior to that date or in a prior
Change Order.
6.2(c) Termination of Contract. If Owner and Contractor cannot reach agreement on
a new Contract Price, Owner may terminate the Contract, and may terminate this Master
Agreement as well, under Section 10.2. Any and all Work not completed on the project
that was started prior to the date of termination will continue to be governed by the
Contract Documents as if the Contract and/or Master Agreement had not been
terminated.
6.3 Payment Terms.
6.3(a) Payment Procedure. Unless otherwise specified in the Contract, Owner will pay
Contractor, within thirty (30) days after the date of the receipt of an invoice, accompanied
by either a Payment Request Form or a FPO, depending on which payment method
applies to the applicable Contract, meeting the criteria set forth in Section 6.4, of the
amount which Owner’s Authorized Representative reasonably determines to be due to
Contractor under Contracts. Owner may pay any or all billings by joint check, as
necessary to protect Owner.
6.3(b) Unit Prices. Where the Contract Price is determined based on unit prices,
Contractor must keep complete and accurate records of the quantities of all Work
performed according to the Bid Forms submitted by the Contractor.

balance due to it under the Contract thirty (30) days after receipt of Contractor’s final
invoice following the Completion of Work and after receipt of documentation, as defined in
Section 4.4(b) of this Master Agreement. No partial payment to Contractor will operate as
approval and/or acceptance of Work done or materials furnished. Any partial payment or
payments made by Owner to Contractor will be subject to final audit and adjustment and
Contractor must reimburse Owner in the event there is any overpayment. The
acceptance by Contractor of final payment constitutes a release by Contractor in favor of
Owner and its surety of any claims and/ or liens against Owner and Owner’s property in
any way arising under or by virtue of the Contract Documents, except for written claims in
stated amounts submitted to Owner prior to final payment.
6.3(d) Condition Precedent to Payment. As a condition precedent to any payment
becoming due, Contractor must previously have provided to Owner: (1) the certificates of
insurance (or policies) required under this Master Agreement; (2) Contractor’s employer
tax identification numbers and any business licenses that apply to the Work; and
(3) evidence of payment to and/or lien waivers and releases from laborers, any applicable
union trust fund, subcontractors, suppliers, and others with respect to labor, materials and
services furnished to Contractor for the Work, all in a form satisfactory to Owner.

6.5 Payment Offset Rights (“Back Charges”).
6.5(a) Right to Withhold Payment. Owner has the right, but is not required, to deduct
from any amounts due to Contractor an amount sufficient to completely protect Owner
against any and all Losses arising from Contractor’s breach of this Master Agreement or
the Contract, including without limitation the following: (1) defective work not remedied in
a timely fashion; (2) the assertion by third parties of any claim or lien against Owner or its
surety or the Site arising out of Contractor’s performance of the Work, including claims
covered by insurance until the claims are accepted without a reservation of rights by the
Contractor’s insurer; (3) unsatisfactory progress by Contractor; (4) failure by Contractor to
diligently perform punch-list, clean-up, or warranty work; and (5) damage caused by

any withholding has been remedied by the Contractor to the Owner’s reasonable
satisfaction, the amount of such withholding will be paid.
6.5(b) Offset Against Any Contract. Owner may offset against any payment
otherwise due Contractor any sum due from Contractor as a result of a breach of the
Contract Documents or any other agreement, which Contractor has or did have with
Owner.
6.5(c) Payment by Contractor. If there are no sums due to Owner from Contractor, or
the sums are insufficient to cover the amounts owed by Contractor to Owner, Owner will

(30) days. Interest will accrue at the highest rate permitted by law on any amount not paid
in thirty (30) days.
6.5(d) Books and Records. Contractor must maintain full and accurate records and

giving rise to the defense and indemnity obligation is caused in part by the negligence (passive or
active), breach of warranty or strict liability of Owner, its architect, engineer, or any Indemnity, but
will not apply as to Owner or a particular Indemnity if the Loss is caused solely by the negligence or

Documents until the Completion of Work and expiration of the period in which any lien

Owner under Section 6.5, will be paid to Contractor. If the expense exceeds the unpaid
balance, Contractor must immediately pay the difference to Owner.
10.1(c) Non-Exclusive Remedy. Owner’s right to terminate Contractor’s right to
perform under this Section 10.1 is in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights or
remedies existing under the Contract Documents, at law or in equity, including without
limitation the right to recover damages from Contractor. Should any competent authority
with jurisdiction, whether an arbitrator or a court, determine that Owner’s termination for
cause was in error and that Owner was in breach for so terminating Contractor, the
termination will be deemed a termination for convenience and Contractor’s remedies will
be limited to those provided in Section 10.2.
10.2 Termination for Convenience.
10.2(a) Termination Procedure. At any time and for any or no reason Owner may
terminate: (1) any or all of the Contract(s); and, (2) this Master Agreement for Owner’s
convenience by written notice to Contractor. Unless the notice directs otherwise, upon

of orders for materials in connection with the Work, and if requested, must make every

satisfactory to Owner, or at Owner’s option give Owner or Owner’s assignee the right to
assume and receive all benefits to be derived from those obligations directly.

all indirect costs, impact costs, field supervision, administration, overhead and profit, or

clauses (1) and (2)) the amount of any payments made to Contractor prior to the date of
termination and any amounts owed to Owner by Contractor under the Contract
Documents. Contractor will not be entitled to any claim against Owner for unearned
compensation, lost profits, lost opportunities or other damages.
10.3 Suspension. At any time and for any or no reason Owner may suspend the Work for Owner’s
convenience by written notice to Contractor. Upon such suspension, Contractor will be entitled to
compensation as outlined in Section 10.2 above for termination for convenience. Contractor will
not be entitled to recover from Owner, on account of such suspension, any additional
compensation or damages which Contractor incurs as a result of the suspension and subsequent
start-up. If the Work is suspended, and then recommenced, the time for performance will be
extended by the number of days the Work was actually delayed. If a suspension continues for

a mutually acceptable resolution, the parties agree to appoint a third party mediator, whose fees they will
split evenly. The parties agree to meet in good faith with the mediator in order to attempt to resolve the
dispute. The parties expressly waive the right to a jury trial and agree, instead, to binding arbitration

project is located or the county in which Owner’s office is located, and pursuant to and governed by the
Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1-16). The arbitration will be administered in accordance with the

writing) and Owner will continue to make payments not the subject of the particular dispute in accordance
with this Master Agreement and any applicable Contracts.

CONTRACT DOCUMENTS: INTENT AND REUSE
Intent
It is the intent of the Contract Documents to describe a complete Project which may be utilized for
its intended purposes. The Contract Documents comprise the entire agreement between Town of
Estes Park and the Contractor concerning the Project. They may be altered only by a Modification.
The Contract Documents are complementary; what is called for by one is as binding as if called for
by all.
Discrepancies
If, during the construction of the Project, the Contractor finds a conflict, error or discrepancy in the
Contract Documents, the Contractor shall report it to the Owner’s representative in writing at once
and before proceeding with construction of the Project affected thereby; however, the Contractor
shall not be liable to Town of Estes Park or the Owner’s representative for failure to report any
conflict, error or discrepancy in the Technical Specifications or Drawings unless the Contractor had
actual knowledge thereof or should reasonably have known thereof.
Inferences
Any work that may reasonably be inferred from the Technical Specifications or Drawings as being
required to produce the intended result shall be supplied whether or not it is specifically called for.
When words which have a well-known technical or trade meaning are used to describe the Project,
work, materials or equipment, such words shall be interpreted in accordance with such meaning.
Reference to standard specifications, manuals or codes of any technical society, organization or
association, or to the code of any governmental authority, whether such reference be specific or by
implication, shall mean the latest specification, manual or code in effect at the time of opening of
Bids except as may be otherwise specifically stated. However, no provision of any referenced
standard specification, manual or code (whether or not specifically incorporated by reference in the
Contract Documents) shall change the duties and responsibilities of Town of Estes Park, the
Contractor or the Owner’s representative, or any of their agents or employees from those set forth
in the Contract Documents. Clarifications and interpretations of the Contract Documents shall be
issued by the Owner’s representative as provided for in Article 7.
Reuse of Documents
Neither the Contractor nor any Subcontractor, manufacturer, fabricator, supplier or distributor shall
have or acquire any title to or ownership rights in any of the Drawings, Technical Specifications or
other documents (or copies of any thereof) prepared by or bearing the seal of the Owner’s
representative; and shall not reuse any of them on extensions of the Project or any other project
without written consent of Town of Estes Park and the Owner’s representative and specific written
verification or adoption by the Owner’s representative.
* * * * *
PHYSICAL CONDITIONS
Physical Conditions--Investigations and Reports
The Special Conditions identify those reports of investigations and tests of subsurface and latent
physical conditions which have been relied upon by the Owner’s representative in preparation of
the Drawings and Technical Specifications. Such reports are not guaranteed as to accuracy or
completeness and are not part of the Contract Documents.
Unforeseen Physical Conditions
If conditions are encountered at the site which are (1) subsurface or otherwise concealed physical
conditions which differ materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents or (2) unknown
physical conditions of an unusual nature, which differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist
and generally recognized as inherent in construction activities of the character provided for in the
Contract Documents, then notice by the observing party shall be given to the other party promptly
before conditions are disturbed and in no event later than (3) three working days after first
observance of the conditions. The Owner’s representative will promptly investigate such conditions
and, if they differ materially and cause an increase or decrease in the Contractors' cost of, or time
required for, performance of any part of the Work, will recommend an equitable adjustment in the
Contract Price or Contract Time, or both. If the Owner’s representative determines that the
conditions at the site are not materially different from those indicated in the Contract Documents
and that no change in the terms of the Contract is justified, the Owner’s representative shall so
notify Town of Estes Park and the Contractor in writing, stating the reasons. If Town of Estes Park
or the Contractor disagree with the Owner’s representative's determination, the matter shall be
referred to the Owner’s representative pursuant to paragraph 6.8 within 7 calendar days.

Term of Insurance Required
All insurance policies required pursuant to these Contract Documents shall remain in effect until
final payment and at all times thereafter when the Contractor may be correcting, removing or
replacing defective Work in accordance with Paragraph 12.5.

SCOPE OF WORK
Intent of Plans
The intent of the Plans is to describe a complete project which the Contractor undertakes to do in
full compliance with the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall perform all items of work
covered and stipulated in the Contract Documents, all in accordance with the lines, grades, cross
sections and dimensions shown on the Plans. The Contractor shall furnish, unless otherwise
provided in the Plans, all materials, equipment, implements, labor, transportation, construction
equipment and machinery, tools, appliances, fuel, power, light, heat, telephone, water and sanitary
facilities and all other facilities and incidentals necessary for the execution, testing, initial operation
and completion of the Project.
Extraordinary Conditions
Should any construction or conditions which are not thoroughly or satisfactorily stipulated or set
forth by the Plans be encountered on the Project, special conditions for such work may be pre-
pared and shall be considered as part of the Contract Documents.
Changes and Increased or Decreased Quantities of Work
Town of Estes Park reserves and shall have the right to make such changes, from time to time, in
the Drawings, to the character or quantity of the work as may be considered necessary or desirable
to complete fully and acceptably the construction of the Project in a satisfactory manner, provided
such changes do not alter the total cost of the Project, based on the originally estimated quantities
and the unit prices bid, or lump sum bid, by more than twenty-five percent (25%), and provided
further that such changes do not alter the total cost of any major item, based on the originally
estimated quantities and the unit prices bid or schedule of values by more than twenty-five percent
(25%). (A major item shall be construed to be any item, the total cost of which is equal to or
greater than ten percent (10%) of the total Contract Price, computed on the basis of the Bid
quantity and the Contract unit prices, lump sum prices or schedule of values amount.) Any such
changes shall be authorized by a Work Order executed by Town of Estes Park and the Contractor.
Should it become necessary, for the best interest of Town of Estes Park, to make changes in
excess of that herein specified, the same shall be covered by a Supplemental Agreement. The
Contractor shall not start work on any change requiring a Supplemental Agreement until the
Supplemental Agreement setting forth the adjusted prices is executed by Town of Estes Park and
the Contractor. In case a satisfactory adjustment in price cannot be reached for any item requiring
a Supplemental Agreement, Town of Estes Park reserves the right to terminate the Contract as it
applies to the items in question and make such arrangements as may be deemed necessary to
complete the Project. The Owner’s representative may authorize minor changes in the Project not
involving an adjustment of Contract Price or Contract Time, which are consistent with the overall
intent of the Contract Documents. Said minor changes shall be initiated by Field Memorandum
and shall be binding on Town of Estes Park and the Contractor, and shall be performed promptly
by the Contractor.
Deleted Items
The Owner’s representative or Town of Estes Park may, in writing, order any item, other than a
major item, deleted from the Project and such deletion shall not be a waiver of any condition of the
Contract Documents nor invalidate any of the provisions thereof. Major items may be deleted by
Supplemental Agreements. The Contractor will be paid for all work done on deleted items as
provided in Article 11.
Extra Work
When work is necessary to the proper completion of the Project for which no quantities or prices
were given in the Bid or Contract Documents, the same shall be called extra work and shall be
performed by the Contractor when so authorized in writing by a Work Order. Extra work shall be
performed by the Contractor in accordance with the Contract Documents in a proper and
workmanlike manner and as may be authorized. Prices for extra work shall be itemized and
covered by a Modification submitted by the Contractor and approved by Town of Estes Park prior
to the actual starting of such work. Claims for extra work not authorized in writing prior to the work
being done will be rejected.
Claims
If the Contractor wishes to make claim for an increase or decrease in the Contract Price, written
notice as provided herein shall be given before proceeding to execute the work. Prior notice is not
required for claims relating to an emergency endangering life or property. If the Contractor
believes cost adjustment is involved for reasons including but not limited to (1) a written
interpretation from the Owner’s representative, (2) an order by Town of Estes Park to stop the work
where the Contractor was not at fault, (3) a written order for a minor change in the Work issued by
the Owner’s representative, (4) failure of payment by Town of Estes Park, (5) termination of the
Contract by Town of Estes Park, (6) Town of Estes Park's suspension of the Work or (7) other
reasonable grounds, a claim shall be filed in accordance with the procedure established in this
Article.
Claims for Additional Time
If the Contractor wishes to make claim for an increase in the Contract Time, written notice
shall be given. The claim shall include an estimate of cost and of probable effect of delay
on progress of the Work. In the case of a continuing delay only one claim is necessary.
Except for suspensions under Paragraph 10.7, if adverse weather conditions are the basis
for a claim for additional time, such claim shall be documented by data substantiating that
weather conditions were abnormal for the period of time and could not have been
reasonably anticipated, and that weather conditions had an adverse effect on the
scheduled construction.
All claims related to adverse weather conditions as stipulated in 6.72 shall be submitted
no later than ten calendar dates following the end of the event. Claims submitted later
than this time frame will be rejected.
Resolution of Claims and Disputes
The Owner’s representative will review claims and take one or more of the following
preliminary actions within ten days of receipt of a claim: (1) request additional supporting
data from the claimant, (2) submit a schedule to the parties indicating when the Owner’s
representative expects to take action, or (3) recommend approval or rejection of the claim
in whole or in part, stating reasons therefore. The Owner’s representative may also, but is
not obligated to, notify the surety, if any, of the nature and amount of the claim.
If a claim has been resolved, the Owner’s representative will prepare or obtain appropriate
documentation.
If a claim has not been resolved, the party making the claim shall, within ten days after the
Owner’s representative's preliminary response, take one or more of the following actions:
(1) submit additional supporting data requested by the Owner’s representative, (2) modify
the initial claim or (3) notify the Owner’s representative that the initial claim stands.
If a claim has not been resolved after consideration of the foregoing and of further
evidence presented by the parties or requested by the Owner’s representative, the
Owner’s representative will notify the parties in writing that the Owner’s representative's
decision will be made within seven days, which decision shall be final and binding on the
parties. Upon expiration of such time period, the Owner’s representative will render to the
parties the Owner’s representative's written decision relative to the claim, including any
change in the Contract Price or Contract Time or both. If there is a Surety and there
appears to be a possibility of a the Contractor's default, the Owner’s representative may,
but is not obligated to, notify the Surety and request the Surety's assistance in resolving
the controversy.
Continuing Contract Performance
Pending final resolution of a claim, the Contractor shall proceed diligently with performance of the
Contract and Town of Estes Park shall continue to make payments in accordance with the Contract
Documents.

PROSECUTION OF THE PROJECT
Authority of the Owner’s representative
The Owner’s representative will have authority to reject defective work and will also have
authority to require special inspection or testing of the work, whether or not the work is
fabricated, installed or completed.
The Owner’s representative shall decide any and all questions which may arise as to the
quality and acceptability of the materials furnished, the work performed, and the manner
of performance. The Owner’s representative shall decide all questions which may arise
as to the interpretation of the Plans, General and Special Conditions and Technical
Specifications, all questions as to acceptable fulfillment of the Contract Documents, all
disputes by the Contractors, if there be more than one Contractor on the Project, and all
questions as to compensation. The decision of the Owner’s representative shall be final
and the Owner’s representative shall have authority to make effective such decisions and
to compel the Contractor to carry out all orders promptly.
The Owner’s representative shall be authorized to observe work performed, materials
furnished, and evaluate the rate of progress of the work on the project. Such observation
may extend to any part of the Project and to the preparation, fabrication, or manufacture
of the materials to be used. The Owner’s representative is authorized to call to the
attention of the Contractor any failure of the Work or materials to conform to the Contract
Documents. The Owner’s representative shall have the authority to reject materials or
suspend work on the Project not conforming to Contract Documents until any questions at
issue can be referred to and decided between the Owner’s representative and Town of
Estes Park. The Owner’s representative shall issue a written directive giving the reason
for suspending work. After placing the directive in the hands of the Superintendent in
charge, the Owner’s representative shall immediately leave the job. Work done during the
absence of the Owner’s representative will not be accepted nor paid for. The Owner’s
representative shall in no case act as foreman or perform other duties for the Contractor,
nor interfere with the management of the Work by the latter. Any advice which the
Owner’s representative may give the Contractor shall in no way be construed as releasing
the Contractor from fulfilling all of the terms of the Contract Documents.
The observation, if any, by the Owner’s representative of the Work shall not relieve the
Contractor of any of his obligations to fulfill the Contract as prescribed. Defective work
shall be made good, and materials and equipment furnished and Work performed which is
not in accordance with the Contract Documents may be rejected notwithstanding the fact
that such materials, equipment, and Work have been previously observed by the Owner’s
representative or that payment therefore has been included in an estimate for payment.
Decision of the Owner’s representative
Claims, including those alleging an error or omission by the Owner’s representative, shall be
referred initially to the Owner’s representative for action as provided in Article 6. A decision by the
Owner’s representative shall be required as a condition precedent to litigation of a claim between
the Contractor and Town of Estes Park as to all such matters arising prior to the date final payment
is due, regardless of whether such matters relate to execution and progress of the Work or the
extent to which the Work has been completed. The decision by the Owner’s representative in
response to a claim shall not be a condition precedent to litigation in the event the Owner’s
representative has failed to render a decision within agreed time limits, the Owner’s representative
has failed to take action required under Article 6 within 30 days after the claim is made, 120 days
have passed after the claim has been referred to the Owner’s representative.
Plans, Shop Drawings, Samples and Product Data
The Drawings show the character and scope of the construction of the Project and have
been prepared or approved by the Owner’s representative and are referred to in the
Contract Documents. Drawings and Technical Specifications are complementary each to
the other, and what is called for by one shall be as binding as if called for by both. Data
presented on Drawings are as accurate as planning can determine, but accuracy is not
guaranteed and field verification of all dimensions, locations, levels, etc., to suit field
conditions is directed. The Contractor shall review all structural, process, and mechanical
plans and adjust all work to conform to all conditions shown therein. The mechanical
process Drawings shall take precedence over all other Drawings. Discrepancies between
different Plans, or between Plans and Technical Specifications, or regulations and codes
governing the installation shall be brought to the attention of the Owner’s representative in
writing as soon as said discrepancies are noticed. In the event such discrepancies exist
and the Owner’s representative is not so notified, the Owner’s representative shall reserve
the right to exercise sole authority in making final decisions in resolution of such conflict.
It is mutually agreed that all authorized alterations affecting the requirements and
information given on the approved Plans shall be in writing and approved by the Owner’s
representative. When at any time reference is made to "The Plans," the interpretation
shall be the Plans as affected by all authorized alterations then in effect. Plans will be
supplemented by such Shop Drawings to be prepared by the Contractor as are necessary
to adequately control the construction of the Project.
After checking and verifying all field measurements and approving of Shop Drawings, the
Contractor shall submit seven copies of Shop Drawings to the Owner’s representative for
review, in accordance with the accepted schedule of Shop Drawing submissions (see
paragraph 2.9). Shop Drawings shall have been checked by and stamped with the
approval of the Contractor and identified as the Owner’s representative may require. The
data shown on the Shop Drawings will be complete with respect to dimensions, design
criteria, materials of construction and like information to enable the Owner’s
representative to review the information as required.
The Contractor shall include all required physical samples to illustrate materials,
equipment or workmanship which establish standards by which completed work is judged.
These samples must be of sufficient size and clarity, and be in sufficient quantity, to
clearly illustrate functional characteristics and the full range of colors, patterns, textures or
other properties which will be actually produced.
The Contractor shall include manufacturers' schematic drawings, catalog sheets,
brochures, diagrams, schedules, performance charts, illustrations, test reports, certificates
of compliance, and other descriptive data not included on shop drawings. The Contractor
shall modify standard descriptive data to delete information which is not applicable, and
clearly identify pertinent data.
The Contractor shall identify all submittals with the following information, as applicable:
Project title and Town of Estes Park' contract number.
Name of Contractor, originating Subcontractor or supplier.
Submittal date and all revision dates.
Identification of product or material by name and specification section number.
Applicable conformance standards
Certification of Contractor's review shall be included. The Contractor shall identify any
deviations from Contract Documents. A 3-inch x 3-inch minimum space shall be provided
for the Owner’s representative review signature.
Submittals shall be made with a letter of transmittal to the Owner’s Representative by the
Contractor, and not by Subcontractors, suppliers or manufacturers. The cost of furnishing
all Shop Drawings shall be borne by the Contractor. The costs incurred by the Owner’s
Representative for more than two reviews of the Shop Drawings will be paid by the
Contractor.
At the time of each submission, the Contractor shall in writing call the Owner’s
representative's attention to any deviations that the Shop Drawings or samples may have
from the requirements of the Contractor Documents.
The Owner’s representative will review Shop Drawings and samples. Such review shall
be completed in no less than 3 calendar days nor more than 7 calendar days. The
Owner’s representative's review shall be only for conformance with the design concept of
the Project and for compliance with the information given in the Contract Documents and
shall not extend to means, methods, sequences, techniques or procedures of construction
or to safety precautions or programs incident thereto. The review of a separate item as
such will not indicate approval of the assembly in which the item functions. The
Contractor shall make any corrections required by the Owner’s representative and shall
return the required number of corrected copies of Shop Drawings and resubmit new
samples for the Owner’s representative's review. The Contractor shall direc t specific
attention in writing to revisions other than the corrections called for by the Owner’s
representative on previous submittals. The Contractor's approval of any Shop Drawing or
sample shall constitute a representation to Town of Estes Park and the Owner’s
representative that the Contractor has either determined and verified all quantities, dimen-
sions, field construction criteria, materials, catalog numbers, and similar data or assumes
full responsibility for doing so, and that the Contractor has reviewed or coordinated each
Shop Drawing or sample with the requirements of the Project and the Contract
Documents.
Where a Shop Drawing or sample is required by the Technical Specifications, no related
work shall be commenced until the submittal has been reviewed and approved by the
Owner’s representative.
The Owner’s representative's review of Shop Drawings or samples shall not relieve the
Contractor from responsibility for any deviations from the Contract Documents unless the
Contractor has in writing called the Owner’s representative's attention to such deviation at
the time of submission and the Owner’s representative has given written concurrence and
approval to the specific deviation, nor shall any concurrence or approval by the Owner’s
representative relieve the Contractor from responsibility for errors or omissions in the
Shop Drawings.
Operating Manuals and Parts Lists
The Contractor shall submit five (5) complete Operating Manuals and Parts Lists to the
Owner’s representative for all items of mechanical and electrical equipment incorporated
into the Work, unless specified otherwise in the Special Conditions or Technical
Specifications.
Record Documents
Record Drawings. A set of Drawings shall be maintained at the Project site, with all
changes or deviations from the original Drawings neatly marked thereon in brightly
contrasting color. The appropriate drawing shall be legibly marked to record, where
applicable:
Field changes of dimension and detail made during construction process.
Changes made by Change Order or Supplemental Agreement.
Details not on original Drawings.
These shall be a separate set of Drawings, not used for construction purposes, which
shall be kept up to date and clean as the job progresses and shall be made available for
inspection by the Owner’s representative at all times. The Owner’s representative shall
inspect the Record Drawings prior to approval of any Application for Payment. Upon
completion of the Project, this set of Drawings shall be delivered to the Owner’s
representative.
Record Specifications and Addenda
The Contractor shall legibly mark up each Section of the Technical Specifications to
record:
Manufacturer, trade name, catalog number, and supplier of each product and item of
equipment actually installed.
Changes made by Change Order or Supplemental Agreement.
Other matters not originally specified.
Maintenance of Documents.
The Contractor shall maintain at the job site one record copy of the Drawings, Technical
Specifications, Shop drawings, Change Orders, Modifications, field test records and other
documents submitted by the Contractor in compliance with the Contract Documents.
These documents shall be maintained at the job site apart from documents used for
construction. These documents are not to be used for construction purposes. The
documents shall be maintained in clean, legible condition. The documents shall be made
available at all times for inspection by the Owner’s representative or Town of Estes Park.
Labeling. Each document shall be labeled "PROJECT RECORD COPY" in 2-inch high
printed letters. The record documents shall be kept current. No work shall be
permanently concealed until required information has been recorded.
Submittal.
With the final application and payment, the Contractor shall deliver Record Drawings to
Town of Estes Park. The transmittal letter shall be accompanied, in duplicate, with:
Date, project title and number.
Contractor's name and address.
Title and number of each record document.
Certification that each document as submitted is complete and accurate.
Signature of the Contractor or his authorized representative.
Shop Drawings
The Contractor shall maintain the Shop Drawings as Record Drawings and shall legibly
annotate Shop Drawings to record changes made after review. A red felt-tip marking pen
shall be used for all recording.
Coordination of Plans
The Plans, Technical Specifications and all supplementary plans and documents, are
essential parts of the Contract Documents, and a requirement occurring in one is just as
binding as though occurring in all. They are intended to be complementary to describe
and provide for a complete Project. The Contractor shall not take advantage of any
apparent error or omission in the Plans. In the event the Contractor discovers any
apparent conflict, error or discrepancy, the Contractor shall immediately call upon the
Owner’s representative for an interpretation and decision, and such decision shall be final.
Any apparent error or discrepancy must be resolved before the Contractor proceeds with
the Work affected thereby.
In resolving such conflicts, errors and discrepancies, the documents shall be given
preference in the following order (unless it would clearly be erroneous to do so): (1)
Agreement; (2) Technical Specifications; (3) Drawings; (4) reference standards.
Within the Contract Documents the order of precedence is as follows: (1) Addenda; (2)
Instructions to Bidders; (3) Special Conditions; (4) General Conditions; (5) Technical
Specifications.
With reference to the Drawings, the order of precedence is as follows: (1) Shop
Drawings; (2) Contract Drawings. In all Drawings, figures govern over scaled dimensions.
Quantities shown graphically shall take precedence over written quantities.
Cooperation of the Contractor
The Contractor shall have available on the Project at all times one (1) copy of the Plans and
Technical Specifications, exclusive of the set designated for Record Drawings. The Contractor
shall give to the Project the constant attention necessary to facilitate the progress thereof, and shall
cooperate with the Owner’s representative and with other contractors in every way possible. The
Owner’s representative shall designate the sequence of construction in case of controversy
between contractors. The Contractor shall have a competent Superintendent on the Project at all
times who is fully authorized as the Contractor's agent on the Project. The Superintendent shall be
capable of reading and thoroughly understanding the Plans and Technical Specifications and shall
receive and fulfill instructions from the Owner’s representative. The Superintendent shall have full
authority to construct the Project specified in the Contract Documents without delay and to
promptly supply materials, tools, plant equipment and labor as may be required to construct the
Project. Such Superintendent shall be furnished irrespective of the amount of work subcontracted.
The Superintendent shall have authority to act on behalf of the Contractor. All communications
given to the Superintendent shall be as binding as if given to the Contractor.
Construction Stakes
The Contractor will provide all surveying stakes required for layout. Costs for restaking areas shall
be paid by the contractor if restaking is required from neglect or damage caused by the contractor
or their subcontractors.
Tests, Inspections and Uncovering Work
The Contractor shall give the Owner’s representative timely notice of readiness of the
Project for all required inspections, tests or approvals. The Contractor shall furnish all
labor and facilities necessary to accommodate inspections and tests.
If any law, ordinance, rule, regulation, code, or order of any public body having jurisdiction
requires any work (or part thereof) to specifically be inspected, tested or approved, the
Contractor shall assume full responsibility thereof, pay all costs in connection therewith
and furnish Town of Estes Park the required certificates of inspection, testing or approval.
The Contractor shall also be responsible for and shall pay all costs in connection with any
inspection or testing required in connection with the Owner’s representative's acceptance
of a manufacturer, fabricator, supplier or distributor of materials or equipment proposed to
be incorporated in the Project, or of materials or equipment submitted for review prior to
the Contractor's purchase thereof for incorporation in the Project. The cost of all other
inspections, tests and approvals required by the Contract Documents shall be paid by the
Contractor (unless otherwise specified). In the event any tests do not pass initially, and
therefore must be performed again, all such extra tests shall be paid for by the Contractor.
All inspections, tests or approvals other than those required by law, ordinance, rule,
regulation, code or order of any public body having jurisdiction shall be performed by
organizations acceptable to the Owner’s representative.
If any part of the Project that is to be inspected, tested or approved is covered without
concurrence of the Owner’s representative, it must, if requested by the Owner’s
representative, be uncovered for observation. Such uncovering shall be at the
Contractor's expense unless the Contractor has given the Owner’s representative timely
notice of the Contractor's intention to cover such part of the Project and the Owner’s
representative has not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such notice.
If the Owner’s representative requests it, the Contractor shall, at any time before
acceptance of the Project, remove or uncover portions of the finished work that the
Owner’s representative believes have not met standards set forth in the Contract
Documents. After examination, the Contractor shall restore said portions of the work to
the standard required by the Plans and Technical Specifications. Should the work thus
exposed, examined or tested prove acceptable, the uncovering, or removing, and the
replacing of the coverage or making good of the parts removed, shall be paid for as Extra
Work as provided for in Paragraph 6.5 hereof; but should the work so exposed, examined
or tested prove unacceptable, the uncovering or removing, and the replacing of the
covering or making good of the parts removed, shall be at the Contractor's expense.
Neither observations by the Owner’s representative nor inspections, tests or approvals by
others shall relieve the Contractor of his obligations to construct the Project in accordance
with the Contract Documents.
The Contractor shall be responsible for the cost of any additional testing required to
substantiate the quality and quantity of the Work. Additional testing shall be that which is
done beyond what is required by the appropriate agencies to substantiate the Work.
Defective or Unauthorized Work
All defective work shall be repaired, or, if it cannot be satisfactorily repaired, be removed and
replaced at the Contractor's expense. Work done without lines and grades having been given,
work done beyond the lines and grades shown on the Plans except as herein provided, work done
without proper inspection, or any extra work done without written authority, is done at the
Contractor's risk and will be considered unauthorized and, at the option of the Owner’s
representative, may not be measured or paid for and may be ordered removed and replaced at the
Contractor's expense. Upon the failure of the Contractor to repair satisfactorily or to remove and
replace unauthorized work immediately after receiving formal notice from the Owner’s
representative, Town of Estes Park may recover for such defective work on the retainage or by
action in a court having proper jurisdiction over such matters, or may employ labor and equipment
and satisfactorily repair or remove and replace such work and charge the cost of the same to the
Contractor. In exercising the rights under this paragraph, Town of Estes Park shall proceed
expeditiously. To the extent necessary to complete corrective and remedial action, Town of Estes
Park may exclude the Contractor from all or part of the site, take possession of all or part of the
Project, and suspend the Contractor's services related thereto, take possession of the Contractor's
tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the site and incorporate in the Project
all materials and equipment stored at the site or for which Town of Estes Park has paid the
Contractor but which are stored elsewhere. The Contractor shall allow the Owner’s representative,
Town of Estes Park, agents and employees such access to the site as may be necessary to enable
Town of Estes Park to exercise the rights under this paragraph. All direct and indirect costs of
Town of Estes Park in exercising such rights shall be charged against the Contractor in any
amount verified by the Owner’s representative and agreed to by Town of Estes Park, and a
Change Order shall be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents
and a change in the Contract Price. Such direct and indirect costs shall include, in particular but
without limitation, compensation for additional professional services required and all costs of repair
and replacement of work of others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal or replacement of
the Contractor's defective Work. The Contractor shall not be allowed an extension of contract time
because of any delay in construction of the Project attributable to the exercise by Town of Estes
Park of Town of Estes Park' rights hereunder.
Visits to Site
The Owner’s representative will make regular visits to the site at intervals appropriate to the
various stages of construction to observe the progress and quality of the executed work and to
determine, in general, if the Project is proceeding in accordance with the Contract Documents.
The Owner’s representative will not be required to make exhaustive or continuous on-site
inspections to check the quality or quantity of the work.
Construction Yard
The location of the construction yard shall be provided to the Contractor by Town of Estes Park.
The Contractor may be allowed staging areas upon approval of Town of Estes Park. The
Contractor's personnel shall meet only at the staging area and construction support vehicles
operated by the Contractor shall transport personnel to the actual construction site. If the
Contractor determines that proposed staging area is not satisfactory and the Contractor wishes to
propose a new staging site, a written request shall be submitted to Town of Estes Park. Town of
Estes Park shall review such request for acceptance or rejection of the requested staging area. If
the requested staging area is accepted, no extra compensation or time extension shall be made
therefore to the Contractor. Each day after completion of Work, the Contractor shall store all
equipment and materials at the above described construction yard, except for the material and
equipment that is to be utilized the following work day. The construction yard shall have a job
trailer, suitable for conducting regularly scheduled construction meetings for the project team.
Working Hours
The Contractor shall construct the project during normal working hours, 6:00 a.m. to 6:00
p.m., on Mondays through Saturdays exclusive of Holidays. The bid shall be base d on
the majority of the work occurring during this time period. However the contractor may
need to work outside of these hours to complete deadlines.
It is the responsibility of the Contractor to include in their bid any and all costs for
overtime, overhead, additional supervision, or any other additional expense required to
complete the tasks in a satisfactory manner as identified in the bid documents. Work
occurring outside normal working hours shall not be a cause to alter the total contract
price.
The Contractor shall notify Town of Estes Park and the Owner’s representative at least
one working day in advance of plans to work outside the normal working hours or days.
The hours or days are subject to review and acceptance by Town of Estes Park.
Whenever the Contractor varies the normal period during which Work or any portion of it
is carried on each day. The Contractor shall be responsible for any costs incurred by
Town of Estes Park, including, but not limited to the cost of the Owner’s representative's
presence. If the Contractor fails to give notice, any Work done in the absence of the
Owner’s representative will be subject to rejection.
Overtime Hours
It is the responsibility of the contractor to include in their bid any and all costs required to
complete the project by the deadlines indicated on the bid documents.
Acceleration of the schedule, or portions thereof, will be the only cause for payment of
additional expenses (such as overtime rates) required to meet the requests made by
Town of Estes Park.
Any costs associated with accelerating the schedule shall be authorized in advance by
Town of Estes Park, no less than seven calendar days prior to the commencement of the
overtime period.
Requests for overtime wages shall include the estimated cost and duration for the period
of time in which this will be performed.
Reimbursement for overtime hours will be limited only to the additional costs associated
with those hours not the base pay. For example, if overtime hours pay at 1 ½ times the
normal labor rate, Town of Estes Park will reimburse the additional ½ time. It is assumed
that the contractor has included in their base bid the first man hour.
All overtime hours shall be itemized by employee, date, total hours, location of the work
performed, and identification of the tasks performed during this period. This information
shall be provided no more than 14 calendar days following the completion of the overtime
period.
Requirements for Independent Testing Consultants
The Contractor shall submit to the Owner’s representative, for review and acceptance, the
name and address of all proposed consultants with a description of personnel, facilities,
equipment and other qualification data.
Any testing agency shall be instructed to submit directly to the Owner’s representative,
three copies of all reports of tests or inspections made, showing compliance, irregularities
or deficiencies, identifying project, date of test, location of project, applicable specification
section, applicable standard(s) for compliance, observations relating to compliance, name
and signature of inspector.
Three copies of a final summary report of the project including test reports, graphs and
charts to illustrate conformance and/or deviation from the Technical Specifications shall
be submitted to the Owner’s representative as requested or at the completion of the work.
Soils observations by a Soils Owner’s representative, selected by Town of Estes Park
including some density tests, will be required during trenching and backfilling
observations. All soils observations necessary during trenching, backfilling, and
compaction operations shall be at the expense of Town of Estes Park. However, if the
first compaction test does not meet the specifications, the subsequent compaction tests
on that lift shall be at the expense of the Contractor. Any deviation from the Contract
Documents shall be corrected by the Contractor to the satisfaction of Town of Estes Park
and Soils Owner’s representative at the Contractor's expense.
Maintenance of Traffic
The Contractor shall provide and maintain in a safe condition temporary approaches, crossings, or
intersections with roads and highways. The Contractor shall bear all expense of maintaining traffic
over any section of road affected by the work to be done under the Contract Documents, and of
constructing and maintaining such approaches, crossings, intersections and any accessory
features without direct compensation, except as otherwise provided. Any signing shall be in
accordance with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Construction traffic shall not utilize
4th Street as a primary traffic route.
Work within Roadway Rights-of-Way
The Contractor shall comply with all requirements of Larimer County, the State of Colorado or any
other agency whose jurisdiction covers the project area.
Removal and Disposal of Structures and Obstructions
All structures or obstructions shown on the Drawings which are not to remain in place or which are
not to be used in the new construction shall be removed to the satisfaction of the Owner’s
representative. Unless specified in the Contract Documents, this work will not be paid for
separately but will be included in the price Bid for that portion of the work requiring the removal of
the obstruction. All material found on the site or removed there from shall remain the property of
Town of Estes Park unless otherwise indicated.
Maintenance of Work Site
The Contractor shall dispose of any excess excavated soil and construction debris at least weekly
and as directed by Town of Estes Park. If the Contractor fails to clean up, Town of Estes Park will
perform work and charge the Contractor any and all costs for clean up and disposal.
Final Clean Up
Upon completion of the Project and before acceptance and final payment will be made, the
Contractor shall remove from the site all machinery, equipment, surplus, and discarded materials,
rubbish, temporary structures, and stumps or portions of trees. The Contractor shall shall leave the

CONTROL OF MATERIAL
Source of Supply and Quality of Materials
The source of supply of each of the materials required shall be reviewed and accepted by the
Owner’s representative before delivery is started. Representative preliminary samples of the
character and quality specified may be submitted by the Contractor or producer for examination
and testing. The results obtained from testing such samples may be used for preliminary review
but will not be used as a final acceptance of the materials. All materials proposed to be used may
be inspected or tested at any time during their preparation and use. If, after testing, it is found that
sources of supply which have been reviewed and accepted do not furnish a uniform product, or if
the product from any source proves unacceptable at any time, the Contractor shall furnish
acceptable material from other sources acceptable to the Owner’s representative. Information on
substitute material or equipment submitted within ten days of bid opening date will not be
evaluated. However, after the effective date of the Agreement Town of Estes Park shall determine
the acceptance of substitute material or equipment.
Acceptance of Materials
Samples of all materials for testing for acceptance or rejection shall be taken by the Owner’s
representative. Materials may be sampled either prior to shipment or after being received at the
place of construction. All sampling, inspection, and testing shall be done in accordance with the
methods hereinafter prescribed. The Contractor shall provide such facilities as the Owner’s
representative may require for conducting field tests and for collecting and forwarding samples.
The Contractor shall not use or incorporate into the Project any materials represented by the
samples until tests have been made and the material found to be acceptable. Only materials
conforming to the requirements of the Technical Specifications and which have been accepted by
the Owner’s representative shall be used in the Project. Any material which, after acceptance, has
for any reason become unsuitable for use shall not be incorporated into the Project. Additionally,
the Contractor and the Owner’s representative shall be subject to the procedures and
responsibilities set forth in paragraphs 7.15, 7.16 and 7.18 as they pertain to samples.
Samples and Tests
Except as otherwise provided, sampling and testing of all materials, and the laboratory methods
and testing equipment required shall be in accordance with the most current edition of the
standards set forth in the Technical Specifications. The testing of all samples shall be the
responsibility of Town of Estes Park unless otherwise specified. The Contractor shall furnish the
required samples without charge. All samples shall have been checked and approved by the
Contractor, identified clearly of orders for materials to permit testing.
Storage
Materials shall be stored so as to insure the preservation of their quality and fitness for the Project.
When considered necessary by the Owner’s representative or when specified, they shall be placed
on wooden platforms, or other hard, clean surfaces and not on the ground, and shall be placed
under cover or otherwise protected when requested by the Owner’s representative or specified.
Stored materials shall be located so as to facilitate prompt inspection.
Substitution of Materials and Equipment
Whenever materials or equipment are specified or described in the Contract Drawings or
Technical Specifications by using the name of a proprietary item or the name of a
particular manufacturer, fabricator, supplier or distributor, the naming of the item is
intended to establish the type, function and quality required. Unless the name is followed
by words indicating that no substitution is permitted, materials or equipment of other
manufacturers, fabricators, suppliers or distributors may be accepted by the Owner’s
representative if sufficient information is submitted by the Contractor to allow the Owner’s
representative to determine that the material or equipment proposed is equivalent to that
named.
Requests for review of substitute items of material or equipment will not be accepted by
the Owner’s representative from anyone other than the Contractor. If the Contractor
wishes to furnish or use a substitute item of material or equipment, the Contractor shall
make written application to the Owner’s representative for acceptance thereof, certifying
that the proposed substitute will perform adequately the functions called for by the general
design, be similar and of equal substance to that specified, and be suited to the same use
and capable of performing the same function as that specified. The application will state
whether or not acceptance of the substitute for use in the Project will require a change in
the Plans or Technical Specifications to adapt the design to the substitute and whether or
not incorporation or use of the substitute in connection with the Project is subject to
payment of any license fee or royalty. All variations of the proposed substitute from that
specified shall be identified in the application and available maintenance, repair and
replacement service will be indicated. The application will also contain an itemized
estimate of all costs that will result directly or indirectly from acceptance of such
substitute, including costs of redesign and claims of other contractors affected by the
resulting change, all of which shall be considered by the Owner’s representative in
evaluating the proposed substitute. Town of Estes Park may require the Contractor to
furnish at the Contractor's expense a special performance guarantee or other surety with
respect to any substitute.
The Owner’s representative will record time required by the Owner’s representative and
the Owner’s representative's consultants in evaluating substitutions proposed by the Con-
tractor and in making changes in the Plans or Technical Specifications occasioned
thereby. Whether or not the Owner’s representative accepts a proposed substitute, the
Contractor shall reimburse Town of Estes Park for the charges of the Owner’s
representative and the Owner’s representative's consultants for evaluating any proposed
substitute.
In case of a difference in price, Town of Estes Park shall receive all benefit of the
difference for any substitutions, and the Contract amount shall be altered by Change
Order to credit Town of Estes Park with any savings so obtained.

of receiving bids. It shall be understood that all manufacturers, producers and their
agents, of materials required shall have such reference standards available for reference
and be fully familiar with their requirements as pertains to their product, material or
equipment.
In case of conflict between reference standards and Plans and Technical Specifications,
the Plans and Technical Specifications shall govern. In case of conflict between
reference standards and codes, the one having the more stringent requirements shall
govern.
The Contractor shall obtain and distribute necessary copies of manufacturer's instructions,
including two copies to the Owner’s representative. If a conflict exists between the
manufacturer's instructions and the Contract Documents, the Owner’s representative shall
be notified in writing. The Contractor shall not proceed until written direction is received
from the Owner’s representative.
The Contractor shall be responsible for delivery of materials, products and equipment to

may suspend the Work until such orders are complied with. No preference or
discrimination among citizens of the United States shall be made, except as may be
required by special labor provisions. The Contractor shall furnish such equipment as is
considered necessary for the construction of the Project in an acceptable manner and at a
satisfactory rate of progress. All equipment, tools, and machinery used for handling mate-
rials and constructing any part of the Project shall be subject to the approval of the
Owner’s representative and shall be maintained in a satisfactory working condition.
Equipment used on any portion of the Project shall be such that no injury to the Work,
roadways, adjacent property, or other objects will result from its use. Th e Contract may
be terminated if the Contractor fails to provide adequate equipment for the Project.
All materials and equipment shall be applied, installed, connected, erected, used, cleaned
and conditioned in accordance with the instructions of the applicable manufacturer,
fabricator, supplier or distributor, except as otherwise provided in the Contract Docu -
ments.
Temporary Suspension of Work on the Project
The Owner’s representative shall have the authority to suspend work on the Project wholly or in
part because of adverse weather or other unfavorable conditions, or because of the failure on the
part of the Contractor to properly construct the Project in accordance with the Contract Documents,
to carry out orders or to remove defective material or work. The Contractor shall not suspend work
on the Project without written authority and prior to resuming work shall give the Owner’s
representative adequate notice to afford opportunity to reestablish observation and inspection of
work being performed.
Determination and Extension of Contract Time for Completion
The Contractor shall perform fully, entirely, and in a satisfactory and acceptable manner
the construction of the Project, within the number of calendar days stipulated in the Bid
Form and the Agreement and shall also complete designated Phases of the Project by
their given completion dates. Time will be assessed against the Contractor in accordance
with the Notice to Proceed.
In adjusting the Contract Time for the Completion of the Project, or any Phase thereof, all
strikes, lockouts, unusual delays in transportation, or any condition over which the
Contractor has no control, such as fires, floods, adverse weather conditions, or acts of
God, and also any suspensions ordered by the Owner’s representative for causes not the
fault of the Contractor, shall not be included in the computation of the Contract Time for
completion of the Project or any Phase thereof, nor shall Town of Estes Park be liable for
any of the Contractor's costs associated with such delays.
In some instances the contractor may be allowed to perform work outside of the windows
identified on the bid form. Work performed in phases, in advance of the notice to
proceed, or in advance of the specified start date will not count against the total contract
days for the project. Delays experienced during these periods will also not be counted or
cause for extension of the contract.
Failure to Complete the Project or a Phase thereof on Time
In case the Contractor shall fail to fully perform and complete the Project or a Phase thereof in
conformity with the provisions and conditions of the Contract Documents within the specified time
limit, the Contractor shall and will pay to Town of Estes Park for each and every day of the
additional time in excess of the Contract Time, the sums set forth in paragraph 3.2 of the
Agreement as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. The parties agree that Town of Estes
Park will suffer loss and damage; however, due to the uncertainty and difficulty of measuring actual
damages for every day the Project or a Phase thereof remains uncompleted and unfinished, the
parties agree that said sums are a reasonable forecast of compensatory damages. Town of Estes
Park shall recover said damages by deducting the amount thereof out of any amounts which may
be due or become due the Contractor, or by an action at law against the Contractor or the Surety,
or by either or both of these methods. Should the entire Completion and final acceptance of the
Project pursuant to the Contract Documents, together with any Modifications to the Contract
Documents or additions to the Project, be delayed beyond the times herein set, it is understood
and agreed that aside from any other penalty or damage, all costs of the owner’s representative
and inspection on behalf of Town of Estes Park which are incurred after the Contract Time has
elapsed may be charged to the Contractor and be deducted from any estimate or payment
otherwise due and payable.
Adjustment for Suspended Work
In the event the Contractor is ordered by the Owner’s representative, in writing, to suspend work
for some cause over which the Contractor has no control, the Contractor may be reimbursed for
actual money expended on the job during the period of shutdown. No allowance will be made for
anticipated profits. The period of shutdown shall be computed from the date set out in the written
order for work to cease until the date of the order for work to resume. Claims for such
compensation shall be filed with the Owner’s representative within ten (10) days after date of the
order to resume work or such claims will not be considered. The Contractor shall submit with such
claims written documentation of the amounts claimed. After receiving the relevant information from
the Owner’s representative, Town of Estes Park shall take the claim under consideration, and may
make such investigations as are deemed necessary, and shall be the sole judge as to the
equitability of such claim and such decision shall be final. No provision of this article shall be
construed as entitling the Contractor to compensation for delays due to inclement weather, delays
due to failure to obtain a Surety, for suspensions made at the request of the Contractor, or for any
other delay provided for in the Plans or Technical Specifications.
Termination of Contract
Upon seven days written notice to the Contractor and the Owner’s representative, Town
of Estes Park may, without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy, elect
to abandon the Project and terminate the Contract. In such case, the Contractor shall be
paid for all work performed and any expense sustained plus reasonable termination
expenses.
Refer to the Town of Estes Park Master Agreement for other conditions regarding
termination of contracts.
Cooperation with Other Contractors
In connection with the construction of the Project under the Contract Documents, the right is
reserved to award any work not included in the Contract Documents, to any other person for
performance during the Contract Time, or to perform such work with Town of Estes Park' forces,
and the Contractor shall cooperate in order to minimize the interference therewith, as directed by
the Owner’s representative.
Coordination of Work With Other Contractors
The Contractor shall be responsible for coordinating the work with the work of other persons
working in the area of the Work. The Contractor shall exclude from the bid all additional work due
to such work by others. However, the Contractor is hereby instructed to plan for reasonable
alternative measures which could be implemented as extra work to accommodate the possible
concurrent construction projects as set forth in the Special Conditions.
Termination of the Contractor's Responsibility
Performance pursuant to the Contract Documents will be considered complete when all Work for
the Project has been finished, the final inspection made and the Project finally accepted by the
Owner’s representative and Town of Estes Park, all claims for payment of labor, materials, or
services of any kind used in connection with the Project have been settled by the Contractor or the
Surety, and final payment has been made by Town of Estes Park. The Contractor will then be
released from further obligation except as set forth in the Surety Bonds and elsewhere in the
Contract Documents. Neither the final payment nor any provision in the Contract Documents shall
relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for negligence or workmanship within the warranty
period. Corrections during said warranty period shall be made in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph 12.5.
* * * *
MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
Schedule of Values
Within 14 calendar days after the Notice to Proceed, the Contractor shall submit to the Owner’s
representative a schedule of values allocated to various portions of the Work, prepared in such
form and supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as the Owner’s representative may
require. This schedule shall be approved by the Owner’s representative and Town of Estes Park
and shall be used as a basis for reviewing the Contractor's Applications for Payment. Each change
order shall be a separate item of Schedule of Values included in the Application for Payment.
Measurement of Quantities
The determination of quantities of work, acceptably completed under the terms of the Contract
Documents, will be made by the Owner’s representative and based on measurements taken by the
Owner’s representative. These measurements will be taken according to the United States
standard measure. All surface and linear measurements will be taken horizontally unless
otherwise shown on Drawings or specified. Structures shall be measured as shown on the
Drawings. When base course, topsoil, surface course, or any materials are measured by the cubic
yard in the vehicle, such measurement shall be taken at the point of delivery. The capacity of all
vehicles shall be plainly marked on said vehicle and the capacity or marking shall not be changed
without permission of the Owner’s representative. The Owner’s representative may require all
vehicles to have uniform capacity.
Change in Contract Price
The Contract Price may only be changed by a Modification. When the Contractor and Town of
Estes Park agree upon a price for changed work by way of a Work Order, the price set forth in the
Work Order shall include all costs of the change including any direct, indirect, and impacted costs
attributable to the change.
Payment for Increased or Decreased Quantities
When alterations in the Plans or quantities of work not requiring Supplemental Agreements are
ordered and performed, the Contractor shall accept payment in full at the Contract Price for the
actual quantities of work done. No allowance will be made for anticipated profits. Increased or
decreased work involving Supplemental Agreements will be paid for as stipulated therein.
Payment For Deleted Items
The Owner’s representative or Town of Estes Park have the right to cancel, alter or suspend
portions of the Project relating to the construction of any item or items therein by the payment to
the Contractor of a fair and equitable amount covering all items of cost incurred prior to the date of
cancellation, alteration, or suspension. The Contractor shall accept payment in full at the Contract
unit prices or schedule of values for any work actually performed prior to the date of cancellation,
alteration, or suspension of the Work. No allowance will be made for anticipated profits in
reimbursements to the Contractor for deleted items of Work. Acceptable materials ordered by the
Contractor or delivered to the Project site prior to the date of cancellation, alteration, or suspension
of the Work on the Project will be paid for at the actual cost to the Contractor and shall thereupon
become the property of Town of Estes Park. The Contractor shall submit immediately certified
statements covering all money expended in preparation for any deleted item, and shall be
reimbursed for any money expended in preparation for any Work on any deleted item if it is the
type of preparation for which the Contractor would have been reimbursed for under the Contract
Documents had the item been completed.
Extra Work
Extra work, for which no price is provided in the Bid, shall be covered by a Modification to be
signed by the Contractor and Town of Estes Park before such extra work is commenced. The
Contractor shall make no claim for work done unless performed on written order and in accordance
therewith. Work performed prior to a written order will not be paid for.
Time Adjustment
If Town of Estes Park and the Contractor do not agree with the adjustment in Contract Time or the
method for determining it, the adjustment or the method shall be referred to the Owner’s
representative for determination.
Application for Payment
On or before the 25th day of each month, the Contractor shall submit to the Owner’s representative
for review and approval an Application for Payment filled out and signed by the Contractor covering
the Work completed through the last day of the prior month and accompanied by such supporting
documentation as is required by the Contract Documents and as the Owner’s representative may
reasonably require. Materials on hand but not completely in place may only be included for
payment if authorized in the Special Conditions. Each subsequent Application for Payment shall
include an affidavit of the Contractor stating that all previous progress payments received on
account of the Work performed have been applied to discharge in full all of the Contractor's
obligations reflected in prior Applications for Payment.
The Contractor's Warranty of Title
The Contractor warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials and equipment covered by
any Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to Town of Estes
Park at the time of payment free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests and encumbrances
(hereafter in these General Conditions are referred to as "Liens").
Review of Applications for Payment
The Owner’s representative will, within five days after receipt of each Application for Payment,
either indicate in writing a recommendation for payment and present the Application for Payment to
Town of Estes Park, or return the Application for Payment to the Contractor indicating in writing the
Owner’s representative's reasons for refusing to recommend payment. In the latter case, the Con-
tractor may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application for Payment.
The Owner’s representative's recommendation of any payment requested in an
Application for Payment will constitute a representation by the Owner’s representative to
Town of Estes Park, based on the Owner’s representative's on-site observation of the
Work in progress as an experienced and qualified professional and on the Owner’s
representative's review of the Application for Payment and the accompanying data and
schedules that the Work on the Project has progressed to the point indicated; that, to the
best of the Owner’s representative's knowledge, information and belief, the quality of the
Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to the results of any
subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents and any qualifications stated in the
recommendation), and that the Contractor is entitled to payment of the amount recom-
mended.
The Owner’s representative's recommendation of final payment will constitute an
additional representation by the Owner’s representative to Town of Estes Park that the
conditions precedent to the Contractor's being entitled to final payment have been fulfilled.
Change of Application for Payment
The Owner’s representative may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any
payment if, in the Owner’s representative's opinion, it would be incorrect to make such
representations to Town of Estes Park. The Owner’s representative may also refuse to
recommend any such payment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the
results of subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment previously
recommended to such extent as may be necessary in the Owner’s representative's
opinion to protect Town of Estes Park from loss because:
The work is defective, or the completed Project, or a portion thereof, has been damaged
requiring correction or replacement.
Written claims have been made against Town of Estes Park or Liens have been filed in
connection with the Project.
The Contract Price has been reduced because of Modifications.
Town of Estes Park has been required to correct defective work or complete the Project in
accordance with paragraphs 8.8 or 10.11.
Of the Contractor's unsatisfactory prosecution of construction of the Project in accordance
with the Contract Documents, or
The Contractor's failure to make payment to Subcontractors, or for labor, materials or
equipment.
Progress Payments
Owner shall make progress payments in accordance with the Town of Estes Park Master
Agreement.
Measurement of items will be made for monthly progress payments of Work set forth in
the Contract Documents or as specifically set forth in the Special Conditions and for items
added by a Modification.
All other items shall be paid for at the respective unit prices shown on the Bid Form based
on materials complete in place. For lump sum bid items, payment shall be based on the
percentage of the lump sum item completed. Payment for major lump sum items shall be
in accordance with the schedule of values.
Payment for individual items shall include payment for the preparatory or other work
incidental to the completed installation (e.g. subgrade preparation and compaction,
formwork, backfill, clean-up, etc.).
Such progress payments will be in an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the
calculated value of the Work completed until one-hundred percent (100%) of the Work
required by the Contract has been performed.
After one-hundred percent (100%) of the Work has been completed, Owner shall pay the
Contractor the remaining installment, if in the opinion of Owner, the Work is substantially
complete. The retainage will be held by Owner and paid out upon initial acceptance(s)
from associated, regulatory jurisdictions. In addition, prior to the release of retention the
contractor shall provide to Owner a Warranty Bond for the Work in the amount of twenty
percent (20%) of the entire contract amount to ensure completion of final acceptance
punch list items.
Final Inspection
Upon written notice from the Contractor that the Project is complete, the Owner’s
representative will make a final inspection with Town of Estes Park and the Contractor
and will notify the Contractor in writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals
that the Project is incomplete or defective. The Contractor shall immediately take such
measures as are necessary to remedy such deficiencies.
The Contractor's Continuing Obligation
The Contractor's obligation to construct the Project in accordance with the Contract
Documents shall be absolute. Neither recommendation of any progress or final payment
by the Owner’s representative, nor any payment by Town of Estes Park under the
Contract
Documents, nor any use or occupancy of the Project or any part thereof, nor any act of
acceptance by Town of Estes Park, nor any correction of defective work by Town of Estes
Park shall constitute an acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Contract
Documents or release of the Contractor's obligation to construct the Project in accordance
with the Contract Documents.
* * * *
WARRANTY AND GUARANTEE; ACCESS TO PROJECT; CONTINUATION OF WORK; PARTIAL UTILIZATION
Warranty and Guarantee
The Contractor warrants and guarantees to Town of Estes Park and the Owner’s representative
that all work for construction of the Project will be in accordance with the Contract Documents and
will not be defective. Prompt notice of all defects shall be given to the Contractor. All defective
work, whether or not in place, may be rejected, corrected or accepted as provided in the Contract
Documents.
Access to Project
The Owner’s representative, other representatives of Town of Estes Park, testing agencies and
governmental agencies with jurisdictional interests shall have access to the Project at reasonable
times for their observation, inspection and testing. The Contractor shall provide proper and safe
conditions for such access.
Continuing Work on the Project
The Contractor shall carry on the work on the Project and maintain the progress schedule during all
disputes or disagreements with Town of Estes Park. No work shall be delayed or postponed
pending resolution of any disputes or disagreements, except as the Contractor and Town of Estes
Park may otherwise agree in writing.
Partial Utilization
Use by Town of Estes Park of completed portions of the Project may be accomplished
prior to Completion of the entire Project subject to the following:
Town of Estes Park at any time may request the Contractor in writing to permit Town of
Estes Park to use any part of the Project which Town of Estes Park believes to be
substantially complete and which may be so used without significant interference with
construction of the other parts of the Project. If the Contractor agrees, the Contractor will
certify to Town of Estes Park and the Owner’s representative that said part of the Project
is substantially complete. Within a reasonable time thereafter, Town of Estes Park, the
Contractor and the Owner’s representative shall make an inspection of that part of the
Project to determine its status of completion. Prior to Town of Estes Park's use, the
Owner’s representative will deliver to Town of Estes Park and the Contractor a written
recommendation as to the division of responsibilities pending final payment between
Town of Estes Park and the Contractor with respect to security, operation, safety,
maintenance, utilities, insurance and correction period for that part of the Project which is
binding upon Town of Estes Park and the Contractor as to that part of the Project, unless
Town of Estes Park and the Contractor shall have otherwise agreed in writing and have
so informed the Owner’s representative, or shall object to the Owner’s representative in
writing within (15) fifteen days of receiving the Owner’s representative's
recommendations. Town of Estes Park shall have the right to exclude the Contractor from
any part of the Project which Town of Estes Park uses, but Town of Estes Park shall allow
the Contractor reasonable access to complete or correct items on the tentative list.
In lieu of the provisions of paragraph 12.4.1, Town of Estes Park may take over operation
of a facility constituting part of the Project whether or not it is substantially complete if
such facility is functionally and separately useable; provided that prior to any such take-
over, Town of Estes Park and the Contractor have agreed as to the division of
responsibilities between Town of Estes Park and the Contractor for security, operation,
safety, maintenance, correction period, heat, utilities and insurance with respect to such
facility.
No occupancy of part of the Project or taking over of operations of a facility will be
accomplished prior to acknowledgment from the insurers providing the property insurance
on the Project that notice of such occupancy has been received and that said insurers, in
writing, have affected the changes in coverage necessitated thereby. The insurers
providing the property insurance shall consent to such use or occupancy by endorsement
on the policy or policies, but the property insurance shall not be canceled or lapse on
account of any such partial use or occupancy.
Warranty Period
Prior to the expiration of the warranty, Town of Estes Park will make visual inspection of
the project to determine whether correction of any of the Work is required. The Contractor
shall attend such inspection if requested by Town of Estes Park. The cost of such
inspection shall be included in the bid price and no additional cost shall be paid to the
Contractor.
If within the warranty period set forth in the Special Conditions or such longer period of
time as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any applicable special guarantee
required by the Contract Documents or by any specific provision of the Contract
Documents, any defective work is found, the Contractor shall promptly, without cost to
Town of Estes Park and in accordance with Town of Estes Park' written instructions,
either correct such defective work, or, if it has been rejected by Town of Estes Park,
remove it from the site and replace it with nondefective work.
If the Contractor does not promptly comply with the terms of such instructions, or in an
emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss or damage, Town of Estes Park
may have the defective work corrected or the rejected work removed and replaced, and
all direct and indirect costs of such removal and replacement, including compensation for
additional professional services, shall be paid by the Contractor. The Contractor shall
also pay for any damage done to other work, other property or persons which occurred as
a result of the defective work within the correction period.
* * * *
WORK BY OTHERS
Work by Others
Town of Estes Park may perform additional Work related to the Project, have additional
Work performed by utility service companies, or let other direct contracts thereof. The
Contractor shall afford the utility service companies and the other contractors who are
parties to such direct contracts (or Town of Estes Park, if Town of Estes Park is
performing the additional Work with Town of Estes Park's employees) reasonable
opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials and equipment and the execution
of Work, and shall properly connect and coordinate the Work with theirs.
If any part of the Contractor's work for construction of the Project depends for proper
execution or results upon the Work of any such other contractor or utility service company
(or Town of Estes Park), the Contractor shall inspect and promptly report to the Owner’s
representative in writing any patent or apparent defects or deficiencies in such Work that
render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. The Contractor's failure to so
report shall constitute an acceptance of the other work as fit and proper for integration
with the Contractor's work for construction of the Project, except for latent or nonapparent
defects and deficiencies in the other work.
Coordination with Others
The Contractor shall do all cutting, fitting and patching of his work for the Project that may be
required to make its several parts come together properly and integrate with such other work. The
Contractor shall not endanger any work of others by cutting, excavating or otherwise altering their
work and will only cut or alter their work with the written consent of the Owner’s representative and
the others whose work will be affected.

SECTION 008200
SUPPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS
ARTICLE 1 - General
Work to be completed under this section consists of furnishing all labor, materials, equipment,
accessories, and performing all operations to complete the project work in accordance with the
Drawings and Specifications. All work shall be completed in accordance with these Specifications.
The Contractor is required to visit the site to carefully examine the proposed work. The Contractor
shall also thoroughly review the Drawings and Specifications. He shall satisfy himself as to the
character, quality, and quantities of work to be performed, materials to be furnished, and as to the
requirements of these specifications. The Contractor’s bid shall be for all work required to
complete the project in place. The Owner will schedule a Pre-Construction meeting with the
Contractor, Engineer, Architect and any other persons deemed necessary by the Owner.
UTILITY VERIFICATION
1.1 The locations of utilities shown on the drawings are approximate. It is specifically the Contractor’s
responsibility to call for locates and field locate all utilities that may conflict with this project as to
both line and grade (this includes, but is not limited to, water lines, sewer lines, storm sewer lines,
manholes, water valve boxes, survey monuments, gas, electric, telephone, cable TV, etc.). The
Contractor shall verify the location and depth of all tie-in points and utilities potentially affected by
the work prior to beginning construction. This shall include obtaining field location marking from
designated utility locating services. Any deviations from the drawings shall be reported
immediately to the Owner’s Representative. The Contractor shall understand that there are buried
utilities that may require private locates, such as electrical lines for street lighting, irrigation, etc.
Contractors will be responsible for identifying areas that they will be working during progress
meetings for the purpose of coordinating any and all conflicts. In addition to coordinating during
meetings, contractors will be provided with contact numbers for all trades, which must be contacted
prior to performing any excavations in an area. This is over and above standard utility locating
services. Contractors will be asked to locate their buried lines for other trades, to prevent conflicts
or damage. All contractors shall comply with these requests. The Contractor shall be responsible
for the repair of any damage to utilities, electrical lines, etc. that have been properly located by the
designated utility locating service or to utilities, for which the Contractor has not obtained the
proper field location marking.
Protection of Existing Utilities:
Any information concerning underground utilities shown on the Drawings is intended to be
merely an aid to the Contractor. The accuracy of information furnished with respect to
underground utilities is not guaranteed and the Contractor must independently verify any
such information. The Contractor shall notify all utility companies or privately owned
organizations who may have installations in the area where the work is to be performed
and solicit their aid in locating utilities including, but not limited to, water, sanitary and
storm sewer, gas or other fuel, electrical, telephone, communication, cable television and
other installations. All utilities encountered must be kept in operation by the Contractor
and must be protected and/or repaired at his own expense.
The Contractor shall inform the Owner’s Representative of existing utility installations,
which need relocation other than those, identified in the project construction documents.
If the Contractor requests that utility companies relocate their utilities for his convenience
in construction of any portion of the work, the cost of such shall be at the Contractor’s
expense.
The Contractor shall determine the actual location of all existing utilities prior to starting
any work that may cause damage to such utilities. The Contractor shall be liable for all
damages done to existing utilities in the performance of his work. All work required for the
relocation of existing utilities, as noted on the drawings, shall be completed by the owner
of the utility. The Contractor shall be responsible for coordination with these utility owners
and providing them with the required information to move the utilities as required so that
they do not interfere with the final constructed improvement, 30 working days or more
prior to performing any work in the affected area of work.

the Owner’s Representatives shall know and understand this person’s schedule in order to ensure
issues can be resolved quickly and efficiently, as they develop.
The Contractor shall assign an employee to be responsible for all aspects of this project after
normal working hours and over weekends in case of an emergency or loss of utility service.
Telephone numbers, including pager and mobile phone, for this individual shall be submitted to the
Project Manager during the pre-construction meeting. A call to any one of these numbers shall
constitute notice by the Owner. The Contractor shall be responsible for remedying all aspects of
the work that created the emergency or loss of utility service and respond to notice of the
emergency or loss of utility service within 2 hours. If the Contractor does not respond within 2
hours, the Contractor shall be responsible for any and all costs incurred by the Owner including,
but not limited to, deployment of public safety personnel and any labor and materials required to
remedy the emergency or loss of utility service.

Manager. If the Contractor fails to heed the Owner’s order in such an instance, the Owner, at its
sole discretion, may immediately terminate this contract and offer it to the next most responsive
bidder.
The Contractor is expected to have and abide by an established safety program for all persons
present in active construction areas. This will include, but is not limited to wearing hard hats and
proper footwear. Town of Estes Park has additional requirements which must be adhered to.
SUBSTITUTES AND “OR-EQUAL” ITEMS
Whenever a material or article is specified or described by using the name of a proprietary product or the name of a
particular manufacturer or vendor, the specified item mentioned shall be understood as establishing the type,
function, and quality desired. Other manufacturers’ products may be accepted at the Owner’s sole discretion
provided sufficient information is submitted to allow the Owner to determine that the products proposed are
equivalent to those named. Such items shall be submitted for review by the procedure set forth in the submittal
sections.
CONTRACTOR’S GUARANTEE
The Contractor’s guarantee shall continue for a period of one year after the date of substantial completion.
DUST CONTROL

RE: Approval of Consulting Services for Museum and Senior Center Site
Master Plan
Background:
At the March 27, 2012 Town Board Study Session, Trustees held a discussion
regarding the development of a Museum and Senior Center Master Plan. At that
meeting, it was noted that a Master Plan would take at least six months to complete, per
Director Zurn. It was also noted at the Study Session that a final plan would not be
available until after the budget process and the non-budgeted item would need to come
forward to the Town Board for approval.
In April, staff received direction to move forward with the development of a Request for
Proposal (RFP) for the Estes Park Museum/Estes Park Senior Center Site Master Plan.
Staff developed the RFP and a submittal deadline of August 17, 2012 was identified.
Three proposals were received in response to the Town’s RFP for this project. The
scope of work includes a program development phase and a site master plan phase.
At the October 17, 2012 Community Services/Community Development Committee
meeting, the Committee reviewed the memo describing the recommended firm. The
Committee supported the efforts of staff in defining the scope of this project, identifying
the Museum and Senior Center as two separate Divisions, and involving stakeholders in
the review and selection process. The Committee requested that the Master Plan
contract be discussed at the upcoming Town Board meeting, thus the presentation at
this meeting.
The program phase includes an in-depth study of the programming and demographic
needs as it relates to the Museum and the Senior Center for the next 20 years. The site
master plan will determine if the current footprints will accommodate the anticipated
Community Services Memo
growth in usage and visitation of the Senior Center and Museum and explore alternate
Town-owned properties and will propose three options or recommendations for facility
locations. The plan will result in a final recommendation for site locations and building
uses of the next 20 years.
The Town received three proposals for this project from:
• Anderson Hallas Architects, PC (Golden, CO: six-month schedule / $80,383)
• OZ Architecture (Boulder, CO: six-month schedule / $83,120 plus survey costs)
• T.W.Beck Architects (Estes Park, CO: 18-week schedule / $14,570 plus
consultants at cost plus 15%)
A Stakeholders Committee (Consultant Selection Committee) was formed to evaluate
the proposals. This Committee consists of two Trustees, representatives from the
Museum and Senior Center’s support organizations and Town staff. Committee
members studied the RFP and the submitted proposals to fully understand the scope of
the project. Committee members subsequently completed an evaluation sheet for each
firm.
Based on evaluation scores, results of reference checks, level of prior experience with
museums and senior centers, public sector experience and degree of on-site
involvement, the Committee unanimously agreed Anderson Hallas Architects, PC to be
the best fit for the Town. It is noted that 85% of Anderson Hallas’ business experience
is in the public sector.
It is the intent of this project to utilize and expand on as much existing information as
available, including a wide variety of demographic data, attendance and usage data,
citizen surveys, cultural and tourism aspects, as well as other significant plans and
studies from the Town. The program phase will also include an expanded community
survey by one of Denver’s leading market research firms for community and cultural
facilities.
The Committee feels the Anderson Hallas team will give the Town the most creative,
economically sensitive and community-minded options as possible. Their team
includes an exceptional roster of consultants and a project approach that best
addresses the RFP and Town needs.
Once the contract is approved, the Stakeholders Committee will continue to assist
Anderson Hallas as needed throughout the process. Other community groups,
professionals and users of the Museum and Senior Center will be engaged throughout
the process as needed. As part of the project, a series of public meetings and
presentations will also be included.
Budget:
The funds for this project are budgeted in the Community Reinvestment Fund.
(Account: 222-5400-544-22-02). Anderson Hallas Architects’ proposed fee is
$80,383.00. A total not-to-exceed price of $89,000 includes a contingency of
approximately 10% to cover to-be-discovered action items, desirable products or
processes not covered in the RFP.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of consulting services with Anderson Hallas Architects, PC.

TOWN ADMINISTRATOR Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Pinkham
Board of Trustees
From: Frank Lancaster, Town Administrator
Date: November 13th, 2012
RE: EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE REVIEW TIMEFRAME
Background:
The current policy calls for ALL employees to be evaluated at the first of the year and
the merit increases to be applied at that time. Although this is the policy, this hasn’t
been practice several years. There was an “administrative directive” that came out in
2006 that directed department heads to evaluate staff on their anniversary date and to
base any merit increases at that time. That is how it’s been done since that time,
however the policy stated in the personnel policies adopted by the board has the first of
the year requirement.
We are working on a major update of the personnel policy manual, but it’s not ready
yet. The Leadership team feels that evaluating employees on their anniversary date is
a more equitable model and is much more practical to implement. The workload of
getting all evaluations done at the same time, especially in larger departments such as
the PD and Public Works is considerable, and from a practical standpoint, I believe will
degrade the quality of those evaluations and discussions with employees. Also by not
having any connection to when an employee starts with the Town, and employee could
be hired in mid-December and be eligible for a merit increase in 14 days, while an
employee hired in mid-January would be 12 months away from a merit increase.
Lastly by using anniversary dates, it gives department heads a little more latitude to
reward high performers because not all of the merit pool is exhausted at the first of the
year. This is also the more common practice with local governments, including the
County, Loveland and Fort Collins.
Budget:
No additional budget costs. Included in 2013 proposed budget
Staff Recommendation:
That section H and Section H 1 of the Town Personnel Policy Manual be revised as
follows:
H. Performance Evaluations
Using a prescribed format, written evaluations will be completed by supervisors for each
employee below the level of Department Head. Written evaluations are given to
employees upon completion of the probationary period and at the at the annual
anniversary of the employee’s hire date each or date of promotion to a new position
year thereafter, and at such other times as directed by the Town Administrator. The
employee's supervisor will discuss completed evaluations with each employee to point
out the employee's strengths and weaknesses and to recommend ways to improve
performance.
1. Merit Increases
The Board of Trustees may authorize a merit pool for each department. Merit pay
increases are based upon the employee's performance and shall be effective the next
pay period following the employee’s anniversary date. Should an employee’s
evaluation be completed after this date, the pay increase shall be retroactive back to the
pay period following the employee’s anniversary date.
Sample Motion:
I move to modify the Section H and Section H 1 of the Town of Estes Park Personnel
Policy Manual as presented.
