AUTHORITY BUSINESS
Resolution No. 241, Moraine Avenue Parking Lot Construction
Contract; Director Anderson reported that based on the bids, a
construction management system is proposed utilizing the following
contractors:
Cornerstone Concrete $ 61,100.50
Jim's Construction Materials $ 34,129.95
Western Mobile $ 12,720.00
Rocky Mountain Safety Services $ 3,780.00
A Quality Fence Co. $ 2,783.00
Director Anderson noted that these amounts are estimates and could
change. Bill Van Horn, Van Horn Engineering, explained the cost
savings of cast-in-place versus precast. Cornerstone Concrete will
provide a sample of cast-in-place, including the silhouette. If
the Board is not satisfied, the contract with Cornerstone Concrete
can be terminated. Commissioner Putney presented pictures of

precast and was concerned that the silhouettes were too light and
the edges were flaking. Van Horn explained that the stain used on
the silhouettes will absorb into the concrete to avoid fading.
Weep holes will be at the bottom of the walls to avoid dripping and
staining. All contracts include a penalty clause, thus making a
performance bond unnecessary. Completion of the project is
expected by May 15. Director Anderson read the resolution. It was
moved and seconded (Hix-Swank) the bids as listed above be accepted
for the construction of the Moraine Avenue Parking Lot, and it
passed unanimously.

Anderson reported that Van Horn Engineering has submitted a
proposal to provide contract management services for the Moraine
Avenue Parking Lot at a total cost of $17,250, including the
following:

2. Additional costs involved in the construction management
includes:
Permits $ 250

$ 6,250
Director Anderson read the resolution. It was moved and seconded
(Putney-Hix) to accept the proposal of Van Horn Engineering to
provide construction management services for the construction of
the Moraine Avenue Parking Lot for a total cost of $17,250, and it
passed unanimously.
Signage Program Report: Director Anderson reported the Colorado
Department of Transportation has approved a request to place street
name signs on the traffic signals downtown. Discussion was held
concerning the following 1996 Spring Sign Program proposal:
1. Street name signs be placed on all traffic signal standards.
(Estimated cost: 16 signs, $2,600)
2. A sign mast arm be placed over westbound Elkhorn Avenue,
indicating traffic destinations (e.g., RMNP, YMCA, Highway 34,
Highway 36) . Director Anderson presented pictures of mast
arms and free-standing signs used in other communities for
traffic direction. After discussion, the Board endorsed free
standing signs rather than over-the-street signs based on the
photographs of each type of sign.
3 . Installation of large standard parking identification signs at
all parking lots. The Board felt that the same type of free
standing signs should be used for parking lot identification.
(Estimated cost: $5,000)
4. Coordination of state highway sign location displays at
Highway 34/36 intersection. (Estimated cost: $2,000)
After some discussion. Director Anderson was given permission to
locate a company which would design a free-standing directional
sign. The Board decided that this first phase of the sign work
would involve three signs: one at the Football Field parking lot,
one at the 75th Anniversary sculptures and one at the Old Church
Shops (Wiest Drive Parking Lot). Chairman Gunn requested that
Director Anderson review sign design bids with the Board members
prior to the next meeting.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:00 a.m.
The next meeting is scheduled for April 8 at 8:00 a.m.
