THERETO
Mayor McLean read the title of the Resolution into the record.
Acting City Manager Clint Blackhurst introduced Parks and Recreation Director Gary Wardle.
Parks and Recreation Director Gary Wardle asked City Council to accept the bid from the lowest most responsive bidder, Banner Concrete, LLC and awarding the contract for the Colorado Front Range Trail Erger’s Pond Section in an amount not to exceed $242,095.00. The project will construct the trail from the Southern Street trailhead to Ken Mitchell, east of Erger’s Pond and east of the McCann Ditch. The add alternate was added because this is the potential access for the Utilities Department to access Erger’s Pond for all of the construction that must be completed in the area. The entrance will be changed from a 10’ wide 6” section to a 15’ wide 12” section so it can handle the construction traffic. This change will also take place between the homes and the McCann Ditch. The trail will be constructed this year but will not be opened up until the Utilities Department completed the work on Erger’s Pond sometime in 2018. This is a State Trails funded grant and funds were used from Adams County Open Space. Director Wardle answered questions from Council regarding:
• The length of this section of the trail.
• The reason Water Enterprise funds will also be used for this project.
Motion by Councilmember Baca, seconded by Councilmember Pollack, to approve Resolution 2017-62 accepting the bid of Banner Concrete, LLC and awarding the contract for the Colorado Front Range Trail (CFRT) - Erger’s Pond Section Trail Project #17004, in an amount not to exceed $242,095.00.
