TOWN OF ESTES PARK February 8, 1995 OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Light and Power Committee FROM: Richard E. Matzke-22774 SUBJECT: Meter Vehicle Replacement Vehicle #16 Authorization to Purchase The 1995 Light and Power Department budget includes $17,000 for replacement of the subject meter vehicle. The existing vehicle is a 1988 Jeep Wrangler with approximately 71,000 miles. This vehicle accumulates 9,000 miles annually. Attached is a memorandum from Fleet Manager Gary Shanafelt summarizing the three bids we received. Rains Motor Company is the low bidder after the 2% local consideration is applied. This bid of $18,673.26 exceeds the budget amount by $1,673.26, however it appears from the research done on replacement of the bucket truck that it will come in well under budget. At the suggestion of Gary Shanafelt, we have discussed with the Community Development Department the possibility of transferring the old meter jeep to them to replace their 1984 Ford Bronco which was budgeted to have the engine replaced in 1995 at a cost of $2,400.. If this vehicle will meet the needs of Community Development, then Light and Power would transfer the 1988 Jeep Wrangler in exchange for the $2,400 budgeted for engine replacement plus the ultimate resale value of the Ford Bronco (estimated at $3,000 to $3,800). The estimated resale value of the 1988 Jeep Wrangler is $6,000 or greater. The Light and Power Department recommends purchase of the Jeep Wrangler from Rains Motor Company at a cost of $18,673.26 and that the existing vehicle #16 be transferred to Community Development as described.

TOWN OF ESTES PARK February 8, 1995 OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Light and Power Committee FROM: Richard E. Matzke-2552,l SUBJECT: ETS Heater Rebate Program Authorization for One Year Extension In September, 1994 the Light and Power Committee approved a $4,000 rebate program for customers who installed electric thermal storage (ETS) heaters. This rebate amounted to $15 per kW of installed nameplate heating capacity. During 1994, 27 customers received rebates totalling $3,531 for 235 kW installed heating capacity. The 1995 Light and Power energy efficiency budget includes $3,500 for rebate programs. Since January 1, 1995, four customers have installed 42.6 kW of ETS heat which would qualify for $639 in rebates if we continue the program. The Light and Power Department recommends extending the ETS Heater Rebate program until the end of 1995 or until the $3,500 amount is exhausted. REM 2-1
TOWN OF ESTES PARK February 8, 1995 OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Light and Power Committee FROM: Richard E. Matzke-*. z· gz- SUBJECT: Annual Light and Power Blasting Services The Light and Power Department requested bids from three contractors to provide blasting services for 1995. The scope of work included labor and material for blasting and clean out of holes for installation of power poles. The bids were requested on "per hole" basis. We received the following two bids: Contractor Per Hole Kitchen & Company $450 Yenter Companies 350 Our cost to perform this work in house averages $150 per hole. The Light and Power Department recommends that we reject both bids for annual blasting services. In the future, we may bid this work on a project basis rather than an annual basis where the amount of work might result in a lower unit cost. REM 3-1
TOWN OF ESTES PARK February 8, 1995 OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Light and Power Committee FROM: Richard E. Matzke 7229*1 SUBJECT: Winch Line Blower Authorization to Purchase The 1995 Light and Power budget includes $6,000 for purchase of a winch line blower. This equipment blows a steel pulling cable in conduit installations in one step to allow the pulling in of underground power cable. We purchased a winch line blower four or five years ago that never has worked to our satisfaction. Since that time a different manufacturer has greatly improved on the concept and has developed equipment that will meet our needs. The improved equipment is less susceptible to jams and has enhanced safety features. We have a quote from WESCO for a Condux winch line blower at a cost of $4,286 including missiles for 3", 4" and 6" DB-120 conduit. This is a sole source supplier, but we believe this is the best and safest equipment available and the quote is within the budget amount. The Light and Power Department recommends purchase of the Condux winch line blower from WESCO at a cost of $4,286. REM 4-1
