Over the course of time, a significant number of pavers have been disturbed by cottonwood tree roots, weather and wear. Staff and the Public Works Committee both recognize the need to reset the pavers and replace cottonwood trees with less damaging type trees in order to improve pedestrian safety in the area. In 2006, $7,500 has been budgeted for Phase II of the project, removing and replacing five cottonwood trees along with repair / replacement of damaged and uneven pavers in the East area of Confluence Park. Advertisements soliciting bids for the 2006 Phase II project ran in the local newspapers March 15th thru 24th. Estes Valley Home and Garden Center Inc. was the only bid received. Estes Valley Home and Garden Center Inc. was also the only bidder in 2005's Phase I. (Continued on Page 2) Cost/Budget: Cost: Not to exceed $8,200 Budget: $7,500 (2006 budget). Sta# could supplement the budget deficiency by the Parks Department materials, (Acct # 101-5200-452.26-36) Action: Staff requests approval to have Estes Valley Home and Garden Center Inc. proceed with Phase II of the budgeted Confluence Park Tree Replacement Project at a cost not to exceed $8,200, with the over budget amount to be funded from Parks Department materials account. Upon approval of Phase II, work will begin immediately with the area cleaned up and available for public use on weekends - project to be complete by Memorial Day. (1) Background - Continued from Paze 1 Phase I / Phase II cost comparisons: Phase I - 2005 = $10,000 Area: 1,474 sq. feet (22 feet by 67 feet) Trees removed and replaced: 4 Cost per square foot: $6.78 Phase II - 2006 = Not to exceed $8,200 Area: 1,512 sq. feet (28 feet by 54 feet) Trees to be removed and replaced: 5 Cost per square foot: $5.42 Reduction in cost is due to several factors: Area designated for work this year is less severely damaged; Contractor does not have to work around irrigation and power lines; Contractor is more familiar with how best to complete the job efficiently and with the desired final results. The scope ofthis year's Phase II consists of: o removal and replacement of five cottonwood trees with ash trees; o removal of the tree grates and concrete forms surrounding four of them (the fifth tree is in a planted area); o Replacement and resetting of uneven, broken and scarred pavers.
