Meeting held in the Municipal Building in said Town of Estes Park on the 17th day of October 2002. Committee: Chairman Barker, Trustees Doylen and Gillette Attending: All Also Attending: Town Administrator Widmer, Public Works Director Linnane, Town Attorney White, Deputy Clerk van Deutekom Absent None Chairman Barker called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. The agenda was modified to cover the Fall River Trail item and the reports regarding Cardboard Recycling and Landfill and Transfer Station Rates prior to Trustee Gillette's departure at approximately 9:15 a.m. FALL RIVER TRAIL - PHASE 1 - REQUEST TO AWARD BID. The following bids were received for the Fall River Trail - Phase 1 Project: Mountain Contractors Inc. $248,589.50 G.L. Hoff Construction $290,372.64 The original bid design proposed ending Phase I between James St. and Valley Rd. After further review, Staff recommends ending Phase I at Valley Rd. to provide a safer connection to the Town's roadway system and the W. Wonderview Bypass. The estimated cost of the additional extension is $38,000. At the August Committee meeting, the Willows Condominium Assn. (Assn.) requested the section of trail adjacent to their property be relocated across the river and onto Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) right-of-way. At Staffs request, Mountain Constructors estimated an additional $70,710 for this relocation, to include construction of a 56-foot by 12-foot prefabricated steel/wood plank bridge (actual bridge cost is $31,000). However, the Assn. presented a proposal from Rocky Mountain Prestress to install a 40- foot by 10-foot footbridge and offered to pay $15,000 to only cover their bridge cost. This offer was not acceptable to Staff. Since no agreement has been reached with the Willows Condos property owners and since the easement across the trailer court property is still under negotiation, Staff recommends stalting Phase I adjacent to and west of the bridge and ending at Valley Rd. The additional cost to the bid is estimated at $28,000 ($38,000 extension costs minus $10,000 from the Willows). Die trail section between Performance Park and the bridge (Phase 11), which crosses the Willows Condos and the trailer court properties, could be budgeted and constructed in 2003. Costs associated with Phase I are as follows: Mountain Constructors bid $248,589.50 Valley Road extension 38,000.00 Willows Condos Section (deduction) (10.000.00) Sub-total $276,589.50 Contingencies @ 6% $ 16,000.00 Estimated total cost $292,600.00 The 2002 Budget includes $268,000 for Phase I of the Fall River Trail. The $24,600 deficiency could be funded from the Community Reinvestment Fund. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Works Committee - October 17, 2002 - Page 2 The Committee recommends awarding the bid to Mountain Constructors at a total cost of $292,600, with the $24,600 deficiency funded from the Community Reinvestment Fund. Phase I will begin adjacent to and west of the bridge and end at Valley Rd. The remaining trail portion between Performance Park and the bridge (Phase 11) could be constructed in 2003, if approved in the budget process. Willows Condominium Easement Discussion:. Town Attorney White briefed the Committee on the status of negotiations between the Town and Willows Condominium Assn., Inc. (Assn.) and discussed the proposal submitted by the Assn. from Rocky Mountain Prestress mentioned above. Attorney White explained the discrepancies between the proposal submitted by Rocky Mountain Prestress ($15,000) and Mountain Constructors ($31,000), noting that the $15,000 proposal did not meet project specifications or CDOT specifications. Audience comments were heard from: Attorney Phipps, representative of the Willows Condominium Assn., Tom Morroni/300 Far View Dr. #17, Ron Schacher/300 Far View Dr. #15, and Howard Johnson, 300 Far View Dr. #14. Items discussed include the budget approval process, cost differentials, bridge specifidations, and nebotiation complications. Kerry Prochaska/Cornerstone Engineering explained the detailed bid schedule presented to the Committee comparing the Engineer's estimate and bids received from Mountain Constructors and G.L. Hoff. He noted that the original estimate of $48,000 presented at the August 15~h Committee meeting was a rough estimate only. Since that time, detailed bids, to include all aspects of the project, have been received and presented to the Committee. He also reported that his staff would meet with a representative from Rocky Mountain Prestress today to tour the site and present bridge specifications used by other contractors to bid the project. Chairman Barker noted that in order for the Town to relocate the trail, the Assn. will need to agree to share the $70,000 cost of the relocation and the Assn. should incur a majority of that cost. He explained that if the Assn. intends to submit a revised proposal from Rocky Mountain Prestress, they should do so prior to the November 21St meeting. , He also verified that Attorney Phipps is the official contact for the Assn. and will handle all negotiations regarding this matter. The Committee will provide direction to staff in order to settle this matter expeditiously. WATER RIGHTS FEE REPORT. Continued to the November 21St meeting.
