Streetscape 3 Site Observation - Town Public Works Director Widmer
was present and submitted a proposal to the Board reS^r^jI^S
Streetscape 3 site observation at an estimated cost of 511,3^U.
Director Widmer stated that, although the Town is involved with
on-Eoing projects. Technician Mike Mangelsen would be available to
act as Project Engineer. The proposal does not include preparation
of monthly pay estimates, change order processing, or progress
reports to EPURA (the proposal indicates that these items could be
handled by EPURA Staff or DSW) . Also, Director Widmer stated that
it would be desirable to have DSW available for any major design
change s.
Russell Moore/Design Studios West was present to address the Board
regarding a work release under their present contract which was
submitted on November 10, 1986 (prior to EPURA's awarding of the
Streetscape 3 construction contract). Mr. Moore believes that,
given the nature of this phase of streetscape and past experience
with the contractor, a minimal amount of time will be involved;
therefore, Mr. Moore informed the Board that DSWs estimated cost of
$27,000 could be reduced to a not-to-exceed price of 520,UUU,
keeping in mind that the work might total less than $20,000. Shou^
a problem be encountered which would effect the not-to-exceed price,
DSW would inform EPURA in advance of such probiem.
