For the past 17 years the contractor has been Powder River Rodeo LLC. Requests for bids were sent to 5 different rodeo stock contractors - -Bar T Rodeo-Chester, Utah -Powder River Rodeo- Riverton, Wyoming -Broken Arrow Rodeo-Tucson, Arizona -JS Rodeo Company- Vaughn, Montana (JS-requested we send them a bid) -Burch Rodeo Company-Gillette, Wyoming Bids were evaluated based on the following: 1. Contractor who will best serve the needs of the Town of Estes Park and the Rooftop Rodeo. 2. Must have sufficient livestock numbers. 3. Must provide a list of all sub-contractors used and a list of 2008 NFR qualifying animals. 4. Must provide a list of the following personnel with top accreditations: a. Announcer b. Two Timers c. Rodeo Secretary d. Two Bullfighters e. Two Pickup Men f. Sound Technician and music with full sound system g. Specialty Act/Clown h. Back Pen Labor : 4 5. Provide all necessary equipment. 6. Provide necessary insurance required by the Town of Estes Park and PRCA. 7. Contractor that has experience producing rodeos such as the Rooftop Rodeo. 8. Fees for the contract 9. Ability to work within the team concept. Recommendations: The following bids were received: -Powder River Rodeo LLC............. $74,150 for 2010 with a 2.5% increase each year thereafter -JS Rodeo Company.................... $61,605 for 2010 with a 2.0% increase each year thereafter Staff is recommending going with Powder River Rodeo LLC. They meet the needs of the Rooftop Rodeo and are able to provide enough top quality stock, staff to support the rodeo, equipment needed and insurance required. In the bid proposal sent out it was specified that the contractor identify 2008 NFR qualifying animals. In JS Rodeo Company's proposal they had no animals qualifying in the 2008 NFR. One of the reasons contestants come to rodeos is the chance to post a high score on a NFR qualifying animal. Powder River Rodeo LLC took 17 animals to the NFR in 2008. Also included in the bid proposal was a request for the contractor to include a list of personnel with top accreditations. JS provided that list and when researching the list provided, staff found that the announcer did not have a webpage and had not announced at rodeos the caliber of the Rooftop Rodeo. The announcer is a key part of the performance and it is crucial to have one who is on the top of their game. Finally, the proposal also included a statement that said: "Proposals will be evaluated based on experience, stock quality, fees, and ability to work within the team concept". As staff reviewed JS Rodeo's proposal and did research online, it was found that JS Smith Rodeo conducts mostly local rodeos, bull riding schools, high school rodeos and is a subcontractor at larger rodeos. With this information there is great concern with their ability to produce the quality and size of rodeo we are requesting. Powder River Rodeo LLC produces many PRCA rodeos larger than the Rooftop Rodeo, several of which have been nominated for rodeo of the year by the PRCA. Powder River Rodeo is also in partnership with D&H Cattle Company which provides bulls to the top PBR and PRCA events. Staff sent bid proposals to 4 companies that in their mind could produce the rodeo and meet the qualifications set forth. JS Smith Rodeo was not included in that list just as many others were not included because staff felt they could not meet the qualifications specified in the bid proposal. Again, Powder River Rodeo LLC meets all the criteria specified in the bid proposal and in staffs opinion is the best choice given the proposals received. Powder River Rodeo LLC an organization of professionals that have the experience to produce an excellent show, they are very easy to work with, and have been a huge part of the rodeo's success in the past. Powder River Rodeo LLC is currently producing rodeos the size of ours and larger, therefore making the decision to go with them the best choice. While JS Rodeo Company's bid is $61,605, we feel what we get from Powder River Rodeo LLC far outweighs the price difference. As we all know the Rooftop rodeo has been nominated as Best Small Rodeo in the Nation in 2003, 2006, and 2008, again the rodeo is up for this prestigious recognition in 2009. There are many things that make a great rodeo. The stock contractor is one of them. Providing our visitors and locals with a professional show is something we are dedicated to and known for. People come to the Rooftop Rodeo year after year with the expectation of seeing a high standard set forth by the town and the Rooftop Rodeo. BUDGET/COST: Fees for 2010 would be $74,150. A 2.5% increase would be assessed each year thereafter. This is a 3 year contract with an option for an additional 2 years. This fee has been budgeted for 2010 and will come out of account # 222-5500-455- 29.18. ACTION: Staff recommends the following motion: To approve of the contract with Powder River Rodeo to produce the Rooftop Rodeo for the next 3 years with an option of an additional 2 years, as outlined in the contract. .

Their interests were to be sole owners and they bought the partner out a year later and became the owners of Powder River Rodeo Productions. When they first started the company they bought 40 horses and 20 bulls from an amateur stock contractor in Kalispell, MT. They produced eleven amateur rodeos the first year as stock contractors. Although, Hank was a PRCA member contestant for the last ten years when he and his wife became sole owners of Powder River Rodeo they immediately applied for their PRCA Stock Contractors Card. They received their PRCA Stock Contractors Card in March 1987. The fall of 1988 they were given their first opportunity to nominate livestock to the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, NV they had three animals selected. In the spring of 1989 they purchased a magnificent bucking horse named Khadafy Skoal. From Hank's experience in the world of rodeo he knew that with the proper care and time that Khadafy would be the champion he is today. Khadafy Skoal has been named the 1990, 1995,1996 PRCA World Champion, 1997 and 2000 Reserve Champion and 1999 3rd place PRCA Bareback Horse of the Year. Top NFR Bareback in 1994, 1996, 1999, Reserve Champion in 1995 and 3rd place NFR Bareback in 1997 and 1998. Dodge National Circuit Finals Top Bareback five times and Reserve DNCFR Top Bareback three times. Mountain States Circuit Champion Bareback ten times and Reserve Champion twice. In 1991, Gold Coast Skoal was voted as the Reserve Champion Bareback Horse of the Year and Best Bareback at the DNCFR. In 2003, Miss Congeniality a ranch raised horse was named the 3~d best Saddie Bronc of the Year and 3rd place NFR Top Saddle Bronc. Miss Congeniality, in 2004 and 2008 was awarded the Reserve Champion Saddle Bronc of the Year and the 2004 NFR Reserve Champion Saddle Bronc. Miss Congeniality was named the PRCA Saddle Bronc of the Year in 2005 and 2007. In the last 23 years the Franzens have won over 145 top stock awards on their livestock including National, Dodge National Circuit and Mountain States Circuit awards. Hank was honored with being selected as one of the five nominees for the Top Stock Contractor of the Year in 1998, 2003 and for 2005. The PRCA contestants, committees and contract personnel vote and nominate for their favorite Stock Contractor for this honor, out of 70 American and Canadian PRCA Stock Contractors.

Estes Park Convention & Visitors Bureau Memo To: Community Development Committee - Trustees Eisenlauer, Levine, and Miller From: Peter Marsh CC: Tom Pickering, Jacquie Halbumt, Lowell Richardson Date: September 23,2009 Re: CVB Marketing Committee - September Reports: as of August 1. 2009 Visitors Guide Requests: the volume of 73,486 requests exceeds 2008 by 59%, and is surpassed only by the volume recorded by the end of 1994. We have shipped all remaining guides from the Visitors Center to our fulfillment house in Loveland, and we will have exhausted our entire supply by the second week in October. 2. Visitors Guide Downloads: fortunately, our Visitors Guide download activity is running 40.3% ahead of the same period in 2008. So, we can say with confidence that the user is comfortable getting the information in that form. This comfort level also allows us to discontinue the practice of mailing first class to those expecting to arrive in Estes Park within 4 weeks of making the request. 3. National Media: the volume of advertising generated requests is also high, exceeding the year-to-date August 2008 level by 76.9%. As I have said before this is primarily due to our efforts on Colorado.com and with 4 magazine titles which have performed at exceptional levels this year. 4. Internet Advertising: our fall event promotion on Denver Post, Channel 9, and Channel 4 web sites continues straight through Elk Fest (Sidewalk Sale is promoted via newspaper ads). Google and Yahoo keyword search campaigns have been throttled back to concentrate on building weekend traffic. This is primarily for purposes of budget control. 5. Program Planning: the month of October is when most of the following year's national and regional magazine program is created. The Annual Tourism Conference provides me with the opportunity to personally meet most of the publishers representatives in person. 6. Inserts: the final newspaper insert of 2009 promoting the Christmas Parade is in production starting this week. It will be placed in 6 Front Range Dailies·to over 200,000 households on November 8. 7. Other: transitioning to the LMD as smoothly as possible. ACTION ITEM: None BUDGET/COST: None BACKGROUND: None RECOMMENDATION: None 1 Estes Park Convention & Visitors Bureau Memo To: Community Development Committee - Trustees Eisenlauer, Levine, and Miller From: Teri Weldin Salerno, Visitor Services Manager CC: Tom Pickering, Jacqueline Halburnt and Lowell Richardson Date: Sept 25,2009 Re: Third Quarter Visitor Services Report 1. Third Quarter Visitor Center Traffic The center experienced an increase of nearly 13% in traffic in July, August, and September over the third quarter last year. In 2008, we saw 144,648 people come through our doors, for an average of 1,572 people per day. This year, we had 163,442 visitors during our third quarter, an average of 1,777 people each day. All three months in this quarter showed increases over the previous year. Through the first nine months of 2009, we have seen an increase of nearly 12% in visitation at the Visitors Center over the same time period last year. The most current statistics available from RMNP reflect nearly a 5% increase in visitation through August 2009, compared to the same time period in 2008. 2. Third Quarter Telephone Calls Visitor Services staff fielded a little over 8% more telephone calls during the third quarter of 2009 over the same time period in 2008. The CVB received 10,122 calls July - September in 2008, an average of 110 calls per day, and in 2009 we fielded 10,944, for an average for 119 calls per day. Important Note: Visitor center traffic and telephone call totals for September include estimates for six days: September 25 - 30, so this report could be completed by the deadline. 3. Bond Park Cabin The Bond Park Cabin will close for the season after Elk Fest weekend, on Monday October 5~: The cabin opened in 2006 and over the course of the first three years, we saw a decline in visitation with each year. This year, however, there has been a slight increase in visitation over 2008. With 49 open days through the end of September, the average number of visitors seen per day has been 91, for a total of 4,446 people. In 2008, we saw an average of 87 people per day; in 2007,99 people per day; and in 2006, 121 visitors per day. 4. Ambassador Update As we move into the off-season, we have 76 volunteer Ambassadors on our roster, which are five more volunteers than we had at the beginning of the season. 5. Visitor Center Hours The Visitors Center will resume off-season hours, effective Monday, October 12. Hours of operation will be 9A - 5P, Monday through Saturday, and 10A - 4P on Sundays. From mid-October through mid- May, our Ambassador Volunteers work at the visitor information counter on weekends only. Monday through Friday, the visitor counter is covered entirely by CVB Visitor Services staff until the summer schedule is once again resumed in May. 6. Estes Park 2007 Visitor Guide: Distribution from the Visitors Center We have distributed approximately 43,500 Visitor Guides through the Visitors Center to date. This distribution includes walk-in visitors, Estes Park businesses, other town departments, and conferences attended by Julie Nikolai. 1 Museum/Senior Center Services Menlo To: Community Development Committee - Trustees Pinkham, Levine & Eisenlauer From: Betty Kilsdonk, Director, Museum/Senior Center Services Department CC: Jacquie Halbumt Lowell Richardson Date: Elktober 1, 2009 Upcoming Exhibit: Rocky Mountain Elk A Local History Elk have been present in the Rockies for the past 12,000 years and are part of both our ecosystem and our tourist-based economy. This exhibit talks about their history of interaction with humans, and current issues like over-population and chronic wasting disease. Opens October 2 with a reception from 5 PM to 7 PM. Special guests: Bugle Corps. Sponsored by the Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc. and the Town of Estes Park. Through April 25, 2010; in the main gallery. Ongoing Special Exhibit: To January 3, 2010: Patchwork Storytellers. Quilts from the Museum's collection. 2010 Exhibit Schedule: January-June: Artist-in-Residence Program 11: An update of a popular show we produced in 2002 on RMNP's longstanding Artist-in-Residence program. Each artist selected for the program, which was begun in 1984, is required to donate one piece of work inspired by his or her stay. The Park owns and houses the pieces but does not have a display space. We will be showing selected pieces fyn this collection. April: Dave and Jack Stirting. Dave Stirling (1889-1971) came to Estes Park from Iowa in 1915 and painted here for over 50 years. His son Jack (1924-1954), was an artist and illustrator during his brief life. July: Revis#ing /sabe#a Bird's Dave/s. Japanese professor of geography Kiyonori Kanasaka spent 10 years retracing routes taken by Isabella Bird, including her travels in the UK, Middle East, Far East, and the U.S. His striking photographs of this quest have been displayed at the National Library of Scotland and other venues. By special arrangement we will be displaying a selection of the photos along with a few by Isabella Bird herself. Upcoming Programs October 2: Final Session of First Fndays - Drawing from the Estes Park Museum Collection. Local artist Pat Greenberg works with students to develop drawing skills using objects from the Museum's collection as subjects. This class is currently filled.

Adma Green Kerr Painting Loan Last year the Museum acquired five oil paintings by Adma Green Kerr as a purchase funded by the Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation. Kerr lived in Estes Park in the 1930s and the paintings depict Estes Park and its environs. One painting of a mountain cabin was immediately requested for loan by the Denver Public Library as part of an exhibit from April to August of this year. That painting has now been returned to the Museum where it is on display with the other four. Emporia Students Practicum Graduate students from Emporia State University in Kansas worked at the Museum during the week of September 13-18. The students were independent study students and provided in-kind labor as a match for a grant we received from the Institute of Museum and Library Services for cabinetry to rehouse overcrowded collections materials. Their participation was an outgrowth of the "Archives in the Park" program between RMNP and Emporia State which began in 1998. For the past several years the Museum has been a participating partner in the program. The program has now formally ended and this year we were the leading institution in this new iteration, with the Library and RMNP continuing to participate.

Attendance at drop-in programs (7,289 visits) year-to-date 2009 is 21% higher than the same 8-month period in 2008 (6,046 visits). Overall attendance at planned programs and drop-in programs combined (10,776 visits) year-to-date in 2009 is 9.5% higher than the same period in 2008 (9,837 visits). Additionally, planned programs are operating at 105% average capacity year-to-date 2009 as compared to 97.25% average capacity for the same 8-month period in 2008. Overall visitation to the Senior Center year-to-date in 2009 is 3% higher (12,633 visits) than the same 8-month period in 2008 (12,210 visits). The Meals on Wheels program is operating fairly steady year-to-date in 2009 (3,050 meals) as compared to the same 8-month period in 2008 (3,174 meals). One of the reasons for the slight decline in Meals on Wheels data is that of the thirty-five Meals on Wheels clients served since 7.1.09, fourteen have improved their health to no longer need the service or have moved to nursing homes, assisted living settings or have passed away. This is the nature of this type of program. Senior Center dining room meals (5,366) year-to-date 2009 is only 213 meals down from the same 8-month period in 2008 (5,579). As mentioned in the results of the July 2009 meal quality survey, staff identified a trend towards an increasing number of younger senior customers who while eating here regularly are coming less often than the older seniors who tend to come for meals on a daily basis. Those younger senior customers are active with volunteerism, employment or travel. Ofthe older seniors, many have also moved to other living settings or passed away. These factors combined with challenging economic times for those on limited incomes have slightly affected the number of dining room meals in 2008 and 2009.

The issuance of the license is not based on any testing or qualifications. Larimer County recently enacted a new qualifications based contractor licensing program (see attachments). This approach is common in many Colorado jurisdictions. The Larimer County program could be used as a template for a transition to a qualifications based Town license. It should be emphasized that the Town would accept testing based, and experienced based, qualifications from Larimer County or any other Colorado j urisdiction that adheres to the same locally adopted standards, so there would be no redundant testing process. Community Development is recommending testing and licensing of contractors and all commercial building permit applicants within the Town. Staff recommends the following exemptions to Town contractor testing and licensing requirements. 1. Contractors requiring State licensing (architects, engineering, electrical, plumbing, sprinklers, elevators/conveyances and manufactured home installers, etc.) and/or approved preengineered/ proprietary certification (Ansul systems, EFIS, etc.), and projects where the scope of work is limited to such contractors, shall not require additional testing, but shall require Town licenses. 2. Owners of structures regulated by the International Residential Code shall be permitted to work on their own home and accessory structures without required licensing, provided they occupy the dwelling. Exemption from required testing and/or licensing does not include exemption from any other requirements including but not limited to obtaining required permits. Staff recommends types of contractor licenses and licensing requirements shall be consistent with the requirements of Larimer County. Licensing fees and issuance shall be determined by the Estes Park Municipal Code and the Town Clerk. Budget Impact: The Town already collects a fee for the issuance of a Town license and this fee should not be increased. So there would be no budget impact. Recommendation: Require testing and licensing of contractors and all commercial building permit applicants within the Town. Staff recommends the following exemptions to Town contractor testing and licensing requirements. 1. Contractors requiring State licensing (architects, engineering, electrical, plumbing, sprinklers, elevators/conveyances and manufactured home installers, etc.) and/or approved preengineered/ proprietary certification (Ansul systems, EFIS, etc.), and projects where the I 4 scope of work is limited to such contractors, shall not require additional testing, but shall require Town licenses. 2. Owners of structures regulated by the International Residential Code shall be permitted to work on their own home and accessory structures without required licensing, provided they occupy the dwelling. Exemption from required testing and/or licensing does not include exemption from any other requirements including but not limited to obtaining required permits. Staff recommends types of contractor licenses and licensing requirements shall be consistent with the requirements of Larimer County. Licensing fees and issuance shall be determined by the Estes Park Municipal Code and implemented by the Town Clerk. Action: Direct staff to prepare revisions to the Municipal Code as required to implement qualifications based licensing for building contractors. . MEMORANDUM Community Development To: Community Development Committee From: Bob Joseph Date: 9-25-09 Subject: Priorities for Sign Code Revisions Background Please see the attached draft prioritization of the sign code recommendations presented last month. Budget Impact : none Recommendation: Staff requests review and acceptance of the priorities list with guidance as to any revisions. We will then proceed to implement the various recommendations in order of the approved priority list. Sign Code Task Force Summary High Priority Maior Revisions: (six month process) 1. Create a Flexible Sign Permit review process that encourages and rewards superior design in settings where multiple businesses occupy a single lot. 2. Create a regulation allowing temporary Banners. 3. Provide a new process for staff-level approval of minor sign code variances. 4. Increase wall sign allotment from one to two per frontage 5. Clarify and strengthen enforcement of the sign code, including on-site citations for repeat violations Allow neon and other exposed light sources (LED, etc.), but strictly limit the brightness or intensity of the light based on an objective measure of intensity (e.g. lumens or ft. candles). Prohibit scrolling, programmable signs in the CD district and place restrictions on the time intervals where they are permitted in the CO district Review wording in the sign code to make it more user-friendly Medium Priority Revisions: (four month process) Establish a measureable standard and code language that can relate to current sign technology for sign illumination In the CO zoning district, increase the existing cap from 150 square feet to 200 square feet, but maintain the existing 1.5 square foot signage allocation per lineal foot of building frontage. Consider the differences between the Downtown and Outlying settings when revising the size regulations Discuss Exemption (10)d and how it relates to future mass public transportation. Committee desires to leave this exemption in the code . Create a time frame for temporary signs (60-90 days), and consider restructuring the fee schedule to allow one fee if a temporary sign permit is issued while the permanent sign is being built Consider changing the maximum size for temporary marketing/construction signs to four feet by eight feet (4' x 8') Allow change of copy on existing permitted signs without a new permit Revise the sign maintenance section to refer to structurally unsound signs as a trigger for coming into compliance Provide diagrams and graphics to illustrate the intent of the code provisions Allow flashing string lights only during the holiday season, and provide firm start and end dates for the season. Quick fix Housekeeping: (2 month process) Revise the size allowance for election signs (150 square feet) in commercial districts to match the allowances for similar temporary signs Delete the reference to "moveable" awnings Clarify the distinction between a canopy and a marquee Clarify size limit for exemption from permitting process for Joint Identification signs (different in the CD-Commercial Downtown and CO-Commercial Outlying districts) Change the sign area computation formula by increasing 8 points to 12 points Change the maximum number of permitted signs in single-family residential zoning districts from one per building to one per residence ~Create a definition for "temporary" Refer signs located at intersections to the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC) I ./ Place time limits on temporary exempt signs Clarify the term "official filing" for subdivision signs Clarify the definition of public right-of-way to exclude privately-owned public spaces that are enclosed on four sides by buildings ff Delete Exemption (10)b that deals with signage on vehicles Change the size limit to nine (9) square feet for temporary real estate signs to include riders Broaden the exception for marquees to include other sign types that require frequent updating of information Increase area allocations for Joint Identification signs Housekeeping: 17.66.040 Definitions, (7)...organization eF gf nations...

Housekeeping: Schedule of Requirements: Single-family Residential Zoning Districts Maximum Area per Sign Face, All Signs: 2 4 sf (to align with exemptions) Define the term "premise" for the prohibition of off-premise signs Low Priority Revisions: (3 month process) Remove outdoor display of merchandise from the sign code and create a land use code revision for this purpose (group opinion is this could be a safety issue in the CD zoning district) Provide a content-neutral definition for flags 4 1 Provide for the expiration of non-conforming signs Consider allowing signs on blank walls, possibly through a Flexible Sign Permit review process Consider ways to accommodate special event signage needs. Policy and Administrative Issues: ( 2 month process) Create an inventory of non-conforming signs which could trigger code compliance when a business license is issued Create a pamphlet for new businesses to increase knowledge and compliance with sign code Enforce the existing prohibition of off-premise real estate signs, with an exception for open house directional signs during the actual open house event occupied by the agent, representative or owner . Enforce the existing prohibition of off-premise signs Restructure fee schedule for temporary banners . 0 0 0 4 ~©Z O 88 0 4 4 01 Ch r-- g m £ f g 62 5% b€ 5% MA- 0 22200 8 91 *A 1 3 2 Ago 88 R 0 # n °° - 0% 0 0% 9 0- 0 °E c:,C R °5° EA 8°M 089 R :R 0 GO N ~t 09. re·£ =t =1 "1 e 0 2 -2 A 0 2 %6 0 00, .0 5 - M 22 11 £ Zht AU b E ¢ 0 if 0 02 U Z U % of yI> 67% 42,387 ,517 2, 42,000 44,517 106% (3,905) 31,840 25,000 25,807 103% Charges for Services (outside) (4.885) 13,805 10,000 8,600 86% 13,612 (12.906) 93,516 79,994 (13.522) 1 79,994 101% %I9 LIL'6£Z EIE'06£ 01 *6Lt LIL'6£Z I IS'ft€ 96'LZ 6L'L€ osuodxa Joueummew puu uoquiodo i MONTH TO DATE YEAR TO DATE BUDGET vs. YTD 2009 2009 2009 of Budget (4.116) 5,484 1,070 43% Personnel 33,342 23,262 10,080 192,459 196,061 317,255 196,061 and Maintenance (247) 53,052 43,656 73,058 43,656 6 C FEL'69 1 ) (E/8.OID (SEL'L) (CL'65 1 ) (S66'lyl) (£LOT) (66:'LE) (981't€) AUGUST AUGUST VAR VAR ratios RoK 4080 Jo louenb is I III POA!000[ Aunoo HUM ]UOUIOSInqui!01 VDI sool OSEOIN voluelen& '001 19;SUBI) 1!uuod BPIE Klunoo lomurl 'soin,Ip snoouelpos!;N *UNITY DEVELOPMENT (101-1600) W COMPARISON Operation and Maintenance Expense Other 10AO SanUOAOI JO KOUM Jop SSOOXH 2009 vs. 20 Revenues . e 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 0 RES *RS! 22zG 0 I m -B #% 8 8% hh m g 4% 9 U; + 01 01 .1 0 0 62 0 62 0 -8 Wztog OO - -0 0 21 R =R 88 49. 0 >. g 3 -B - 2% EIM. 0 >4 N 20 GO oN 40 8 N0 04 - 0O § 9*8 4 m 0 M h t- n h %O. v \0 M 32 DATE MONTH TO DATE YEAR TO DATE YEAR TO DATE AUGUST AUGUST VAR VAR ratios Foo~ ofYB Licenses and Permits 8,959 (39.788) 223,811 (119.537) 99% 104,274 €I 6'ZSE Lft'66£ (9€L.L) EI6'Z<Z LLI'5*Z 0L5'8 LOB'*E LLE'Et osuadxa @oueummew pue uougiod (£9t'Lt'I) (Lt*.961) (t'64.gEl) (£9*'Lt,I) (696'81) (606'IE) (ENCE) 9ZI'9 som,!puodxj 99 'LZE (088'f) 6'L~E LLO'€IE ED#'Ot ZOE'9E IOUUOSJOd 956'PE (958 2) 996'VE 001'ZE aouuu@luIEFy pur suotle (690) Total Revenues 9,024 (40.478) PROTECTIVE INSPECTIONS (101-2300) CASH FLOW COMPARISON asuodxa eoueu@lulew pue uouelgdo 20 SanUOAO.I;O KOUO!0!JOP~SSOOXH XE) asn - enUOAOI 203 JOPUDAI Revenues sainlipuadxa Town Administration Memo TO: Chairman Chuck Levine and Community Development Committee Board Members From: Lowell Richardson, Deputy Town Administrator CC: Jacqueline Halburnt, Town Administrator Date: 9/29/2009 Re: Draft Procurement Policy Revisions Background At the September 3rd Community Development Committee meeting staff presented a draft policy on "Procurement and Purchase of services and Goods". Once presented staff was directed by CDC to provide some revisions to the draft policy. Those revisions are: 1) Add a policy for purchases of less than $30,000. 2) Add a section on reporting requirements for recipients of Community Service grant funds. 3) Separate procedures for RFP's and Bids. 4) Revise Sole Source purchasing. 5) Provide definitions for multi-phase projects. 6) Include local contractor preferences and notification to contractor association for construction projects. Also added to the revisions is a section on definitions common to purchasing goods and services. Budget/Costs N/A Recommendation Staff is requesting approval of the revised policy as presented. 1 . k. Procurement of Goods and Services Town of Estes Park Policy 1/1/2009 A. Purpose The purpose of this policy is to establish procedures to maximize the value of public funds spent for purchasing goods or services. This process allows the establishment of safeguards for maintaining a system of quality and integrity. B. Policv All Town of Estes Park Departments shall follow set procedures established for the procurement and purchase of services or goods exceeding thirty thousand dollars. All Town employees are required to exercise prudence when using public funds for procurement of any goods or services regardless of the amount. At no time should a Department exceed the overall appropriation for the Department in the adopted budget. All ordinances and resolutions adopted authorizing an expenditure of money or the entering into a contract for an amount more than $100,000 require the approval and signature of the Mayor before they can become valid. C. Procedures The guidelines provided herein shall be applicable for all purchases made for goods or services on behalf of the Town of Estes Park in excess of $30,000. The Town of Estes Park requires formal sealed bidding above $30,000. In those cases, bid packages are prepared and distributed to prospective bidders of the commodities or services required. In certain cases, Requests for Proposals (RFP's) are issued - generally in the area of consulting services. A copy of the procedure and evaluation criteria may be obtained from the department requesting the services. Bids or RFP's are publicly opened at the time, date and place specified. Bids must be received on or before the published deadline. After bids are opened, the tabulation and analysis is made by the appropriate department. A recommendation for consultant selection is made to the appropriate town committee with final approval made at a regular town board meeting. An award is then made via a purchase order. Construction awards over $50,000 require issuance of a contract. The successful bidder will also be required to furnish Certificates of Insurance, Performance/Payment Bonds, Workmen's Compensation etc. as specified in the bid documents. 1 4 Procurement of Goods and Services Town of Estes Park Policy 1/1/2009 Pre-bid meetings are held on projects when deemed necessary by the town staff. Invitations to bid will specify the date, time and location of such meetings. 1. Emergency Purchases Emergency purchases shall be authorized by the Town Administrator when a threat exists to public health or safety. An emergency situation is an event that creates an immediate threat to public health, welfare, or safety of the Town of Estes Park or where preservation or protection of Town property, may arise by reason of natural disasters, epidemics, riots, equipment failure, or such other reasons. Such conditions create an immediate and serious need for supplies, services, or construction that cannot be met through normal procurement and approval methods. Competition should be obtained for emergency purchases when circumstances allow (for example, you may call three local suppliers to get competitive quotes on equipment or services). Only the quantity of goods or services necessary to alleviate the emergency may be purchased under emergency conditions. Poor planning does not constitute an emergency. The Town Administrator will present the circumstances of the event to the Town Board at the next regularly scheduled Town Board meeting. 2. Maintenance Agreements The Town of Estes Park engages in annual maintenance contracts and agreement with various vendors as a matter of day-to-day business. The Town Administrator shall approve all maintenance contracts before acquisition of said services are allowed. Such maintenance agreements typically are contracts for services and repair of equipment items and can be, but are not limited to, purchased equipment that is not leased i.e., office equipment, cleaning services, etc., in these situations the following practices shall be followed: a. When it is considered cost beneficial to do so rather than to pay for service on a per-call basis a maintenance contract will be used. (In most instances such maintenance agreements shall be included in the original purchase quote for such items). Exceptions are for capital purchases where ongoing use of the equipment exceeds one year and ongoing maintenance is required. b. Maintenance agreements costing more than $30,000 must be obtained through a formal bid/quote process unless said services/goods can only be serviced by the original vendor then a sole source purchase would be authorized. c. When the cost of services through an agreement exceeds $100,000 a formal RFP process will be used. Some vendor forms may be amended and then referenced on a Purchase Order or contract. Include them as an attachment to your requisition. d. Only those person(s) having the authority shall sign or enter into any contract for the Town of Estes Park. It is important to understand that authority to approve expenditures from the budget does not constitute authority to bind the Town of Estes Park to contracts or contract changes. To originate a Maintenance Agreement (under $100,000), a request for approval must be submitted to the Town Administrator. The request for approval shall contain the three quotes including a full description of the service to be received, the vendor's name, and the price. An open ended Purchase Order shall be issued for the current fiscal year only. 2 Procurement of Goods and Services Town of Estes Park Policy 1/1/2009 3. Vehicle Purchases Vehicle purchases shall be conducted through a competitive bid/quote process. Included in the quote or bid for vehicles are those specifications necessary for the vehicle to perform functions unique to the department requesting said vehicle. Purchasing steps to be followed: a. Those purchases under $30,000 and pre-approved in the budget shall be submitted to the Town Administrator for approval. A memorandum outlining purchase justification with competitive bids/quotes attached are also submitted to the Town Administrator. b. All purchases exceeding $30,000 requires review by the Town Administrator prior to submitting to the Town Board of Trustees. c. Vehicle purchases exceeding $30,000 and pre-approved in the budget shall be reviewed by the appropriate committee and approved by the Town Board. A memorandum outlining purchase justification with competitive bids/quotes attached are also submitted. d. Vehicle purchases not pre-approved in the budget require approval by the Town Board. 4.
