COLORADO 80517 ~ JUL 11 1988 (303) 580-6885 TOWN OF ESTES PARK July 11, 1988 PUBLIC WORKS DEPT. - Mr. Richard Widmer Director of Public Works Town of Estes Park Estes,Park, Colorado 80517 Dear Rich: Enclosed is a proposal which I believe will benefit the Town. It builds upon our successful collaboration in saving between $10,000 and $15,000 on the East-Riverside Rest Room project. After you and Gary Klaphake review the proposal, I would welcome an opportunity to discuss it further. Sincerely, 171- Laurence I. Moss LIM:akm Enclosure . Energy Design and Analysis 5769 Longs Peak Route Estes Park, CO 80517 303-586-6885 PROPOSAL TO THE TOWN OF ESTES PARK FOR CONSULTING SERVICES This is a proposal from Laurence I. Moss, Energy Design and Analysis, to perform certain consulting services for the Town of Estes Park. It is expected that this will benefit the Town by reducing operating costs for energy and water, and in some cases reducing the first costs of facilities needed by the Town. The savings to the Town should be considerably in excess of the cost to it of the consulting services; indeed, if this proves not to be the case, the agreement should be terminated after the proposed one-year trial period. BACKGROUND. Several weeks ago, Mr. Moss happened to read a brief item in the Estes Park TRAIL-GAZETTE stating that the Town planned to install new toilets in the rest rooms on East Riverside Drive, and that $15,000 of the estimated cost would be to upgrade the water service line to the facility. An upgrade was thought necessary to avoid an unacceptable drop in water pressure during anticipated use of the facilityâ€ž This would indeed have been the case if the toilets originally specified had been installed; Mr. Moss was aware, however, of commercially-available toilets of a unique design which would eliminate the need for a line replacement. He brought this to the attention of Richard Widmer, the Town's Director of Public Works, who realized the value of this possible alternative and assigned a staff person to investigate it in detail. The result was that six of these special toilets have been installed in the renovated facility and the high cost of water line replacement has been avoided. The net savings to the Town has been between $10,000 and $15,000 in first cost; additional operating cost savings resulting from reduced water use will also be realized. Several conclusions might be drawn from this example. First, the Town has a well-motivated staff able to take advantage of opportunities to reduce cost when it becomes aware of them. Second, it is not to be exnected that the staff of any municipality (including those much --fj larger than Estes Park) would or should be aware of all of the technology of saving water and energy, much of it only recently available on the commercial market. Indeed, most engineering firms, even when they are aware of it, have not yet incorporated it in the mainstream of their design practice. Third, it was sheer chance that Mr. Moss read the brief news item outlining the Town's plans. If he had not done so, the opportunity would have been lost. PROPOSAL. What is needed is a more formal relationship between the Town and Mr. Moss in which Town projects which might benefit from a review of opportunities to save energy and/or water, and reduce first cost, are identified and such reOiews performed by Mr. Moss. It is proposed that this work be financed in. the first year out of the savings already realized in the example given above. After a one-year trial period, if the reviews have not identified and realized other C. / significant savings opportunities, the agreement would be terminated. If, on the other hand, substantial additional savings are achieved and both parties are pleased with the arrangement, the agreement would be renegotiated and extended. The projects to be reviewed from the standpoint of energy and water use would be identified by mutual agreement between the Director of Public Works and Mr. Moss. Examples might include the new Public Works building on Moraine Avenue, the existing Municipal Building, or perhaps even a new Town initiative to publicize efficient technologies and provide incentives, for example in rate structures or hook-up fees, for those in the private sector to take advantage of them. The proposed form of the agreement is a retainer of $1,000 per month for a one-year trial period. This will serve to compensate Mr. Moss for up to 12 hours per month of his time. (This works out to less than his regular billing rate.) It is believed that this will be sufficient to conduct the desired reviews. If extraordinary requests require more time, this can be identified in advance and made subject to mutual agreement before the work proceeds. QUALIFYING EXPERIENCE. A brief summary of the experience and activities of Mr. Moss is attached. He has specified energy and water systems for a wide variety of buildings in different regions of the U.S. His clients have included government agencies as well as private owners of buildings. The technologies employed by Mr. Moss on his projects have included on-site cogeneration of electricity and useful heat, high-efficiency equipment using natural gas, electric thermal storage to shift both heating and cooling loads to off-peak hours, passive solar designs, low-emissivity glazing materials to reduce warm weather solar gain and cold weather heat loss, and high-efficiency lighting systems with and without natural daylighting. I. 6 BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION--LAURENCE I. MOSS .aurence I. Moss is a consultant in the field of energy design and analysis, focusing especially on how to provide least-cost energy services to commercial, institutional and industrial buildings. He is also president and CEO of a new venture, Demand Shift Technologies. DST designs, manufactures, markets and supports systems which shift the use of energy from on-peak to off-peak h'ours while still providing desired energy services at the appropriate times. Mr. Moss is an engineer (B.S. Chemical Engineering, M.S. Nuclear Engineering, both from M. I.T.). He designed and tested nuclear reactors at the Atomics International Division of Rockwell International (1959-68). He then served (1968-69) as a White House Fellow and Assistant to the U.S. Secretary of Transportation. From 1969 to 1975 he was Executive Secretary of the National Academy of Engineering's Committee on Public Engineering Policy, acting as staff director for a number of studies and publications dealing with technology and public policy. Since 1975 he has been an independent consultant. During much of this time, Mr. Moss has been involved in advising and directing various organizations. He has been a board member and president of the Sierra Club, chairman of the FEA's Environmental Advisory Committee, a board and executive committee member of the Environmental Law Institute, co-chairman of the National Coal Policy 'roject (for which he was given the Distinguished Service Award 0-f the lational Energy Resources Organization), a member of DOE's Energy Research Advisory Board, a board and executive committee member of the Gas Research Institute, a board and executive committee member of Resources for the Future, a member of the visiting committees of both Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Energy Division and Brookhaven National Laboratory's National Center for the Analysis of Energy Systems, a member of the U.S. Congress' Office of Technology Assessment advisory panel for the U.S. Natural Gas Availability Study, and an advisory board member of the University of Colorado's Natural Resources Law Center. Mr. Moss was a Regent's Lecturer in Environmental Studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and a faculty member of the Salzburg Seminar in American Studies, Salzburg, Austria. Mr. Moss currently serves on the advisory councils of both the Electric Power Research Institute and the Gas Research Institute, the Demand Side Management Advisory Committee of Boston Edison Company, and the board of Resources for the Future. -- .-4 mt* 45 1 TOWN OF ESTES PARK Light and Power Department Robert L.

Moss Proposal Larry Moss is well known throughout the country for his contributions in the area of energy conservation. I believe his professional background and experience would bring us innovative technology that could result in operating cost savings in some of the Town's facilities. Any of his ideas that we use also could be listed as energy conservation measures in our report to the Western Area Power Administration. WAPA requires us to have ongoing Conservation and Renewable Energy (C&RE) programs or our power allotments can be reduced by 10%. In summary using Larry Moss's services could be beneficial to the Town. P (1 Itin' 19(lt) 1,Â·Ii,nhnite (3{) 11 5#tf-,-5 141 1 1#.â€¢ '~Kâ€¢'F':4 tres.. ' 1 I.

Box 1200 Estes Park, CO 80517 Dear Mayor Dannels: The undersigned property owners who own property abutting Far View Lane are hereby requesting the Town of Estes Park assume ownership of Far View Lane (in Fall River Addition) including maintenance and surfacing of the road. The undersigned owners, by their signatures, agree to deed to the Town such land as is necessary to provide a thirty (30) foot right-of-way with a twenty (20) foot paved street. Currently the only access to several of the involved properties is an undedicated utility easement. It is hoped the Town will approve this request and resolve what is now a potential legal cloud on several of these properties which currently have no recorded legal access. In addition, it will provide this fine little neighborhood with a share of some of the street maintenance so renowned in Estes Park.
