y'
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"Enclosed is a background memorandum from the Planning staff with
regard to the review of site and landscape plans for various '
additional zoning districts. This matter was discussed with Council
on August 3, 1976. At that time the staff was instructed to
proceed with the drafting of.the necessary legislation to imple-
ment these requirements. At their December 8, 1976, meeting the
Planning and Zoning Board reviewed a draft of the new ordinance
and the various administrative guidelines. As a result of this
meeting several additional changes were made.
As indicated, this ordinance provides for site and landscapE plan
review for commercial uses in B-L, Limited Business, H-B, Highway
Busine.ss, and R-H, High Density Residential, districts. The
ordinance provides that landscape requirements be tied to the
occupancy permit rather than the building permit. This gives
more flexibility and less cost to the developer. If the work
is not done, a cash deposit or landscape bond would only be
required after the project is completed and before occupancy."

Change in Funding for Additional Building
Inspector for Fiscal Year 1977 Approved
Following is a portion of the City Manager's memorandum on this
item:
"At its December 21, 1976, meeting Council approved the hiring
of an additional Building Inspector through the use of Federal
Antirecession Fiscal Assistance Funds. Council also requested
that during January we review our estimated revenue from
building fees and licenses to see if this individual could be
financed from General Fund revenue sources. Also, since our
December 21, 1976, report, we have received further notifica-
tion from the Federal Government concerning our payment under
the Antirecession Program. Because our local unemployment rate
was below 4.5% for the last two payment quarters, we_have
294
received no additional Antirecession Funds above and beyond
the original payment of $3,368. Should we qualify for the
last two quarters of the Program, the most we can hopefully
receive will be $10,000.
Based on anticipated increased 1977 collections, we will be
using General Fund sources to finance the Building Inspector
for the balance of 1977. We will also hold off in making
a recommendation for the use of Antirecession Funds until we
are sure of .future receipts."

Ordinance Adopted on First Reading Zoning
the Vance First Annexation
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"At the February 1, 1977, meeting the City Council discussed
the zoning alternatives for the Vance Annexation located on
the southeast corner of Lemay Avenue and Drake Raod. This 77
acres was involuntarily annexed to the City. The matter of
zoning for this property has been discussed on many occasions.
At the February 1 meeting the Council voted to approve the
R-P zoning for that 35.52 acres contiguous to Lemay and R-L-P
zoning for the easterly 40.5 acres. They requested the City
Attorney to prepare the necessary zoning ordinance."
Councilwoman Reeves made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bloom
to adopt Ordinance No. 19, 1977 on first reading. Yeas:
Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Suinn and Wilkinson.
Nays: None. (Councilman Russell out of room.)
South College Commercial PUD:
Preliminary Plan Conditionally Approved
Following is the City Manager's memorandum and recommendation
on this item:
"The South College Commercial PUD consists of 7.8 acres zoned
Highway Business District located on the southwest corner of
South College Avenue and Thunderbird Drive. This is the
revised preliminary plan for additional development of the
Everitt Home Center site under the PUD ordinance. The existing
development took place prior to annexation. Therefore, before
any additional development can be approved, a unit development
plan for the entire site has to be reviewed. The developer
plans to expand the present building floor area by 30% which
would include a new fast-food restaurant.
The staff and the Planning and Zoning Board have some concern
about the landscaping plan and the pedestrian circulation.
Although neither of these matters have been completely resolved,
the developer has indicated that he will cooperate and comply
with requirements. The Planning and Zoning Board approved the
preliminary plan of the South College, _Commercial PUD with the
understanding that the required landscaping and pedestrian
circulation problems would be resolved;,before the .final plan is
approved.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends, that the City
Council approve the preliminary plan of the South College
Commercial PUD. It is further recommended that this approval
be expressly conditioned on adequate dedication and improvement
of the right of way for the frontage road on College Avenue and
Mason Street."
303
Councilman Bowling announced that he...is withdrawing from tHis
discussion as he is a property owner across the street at
2700 South College.
Planner II, Paul Deibel, stated the recommendation is for
approval with the following four conditions:
1. Significant additional landscaping should be provided within
the main parking lot so as to provide sufficient vertical
treatment in this large asphalt area. Specifically, the
same landscape treatment indicated for the second and fourth
aisles of parking in the main lot should be extended to the
first, third, and fifth rows, and that trees be located in
planters.
2. Concerning pedestrian circulation, the staff still felt that
sidewalks in the parking lot were warranted. Without them,
for example, pedestrian circulation is not defined and it
is very difficult to provide "crosswalks" at arbitrary
locations on the main driveway in front of the building.
However, in the absence of a full system of walks, one
possible approach might be that pedestrian crosswalks
located at main entrances to the building connect with
short pedestrian walks or "landing areas" in the planter
islands across the main drive in front of the building. The
Board's recommendation is that this approach be taken.
3. Mason Street, Landscape treatment should provide for a
sidewalk on the east side of the street. Also curbcut onto s.
Mason at the south boundary of site should be moved north.
4. Concerning.traffic circulation, the separation between the
drive-in through restaurant exit and the adjacent main
entrance from the frontage road should be increased to 50'.
Councilman Suinn made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bloom to
approve the preliminary plan for South College Commercial PUD
subject to the above conditions, specifically that the improvement
of Mason Street will have to be at the width finally determined
by the Council, and that there be adequate dedication and improve-
ment of both the Mason Street right of way and the frontage
road. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom Gray, Reeves, Suinn and
Wilkinson. Plays: None. (Councilmembers Bowling and Russell out
or room.)

Preliminary Plat of East.Elizabeth
Medical PUD Approved
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"The East Elizabeth Medical PUD consists of 2.7 acres located
on the north side of East Elizabeth Street and east of Lemay.
At the present time the property is zoned C, Commercial, I-G,
General Industrial District,and B-L, Limited Business District.
The developer proposed to construct a medical -professional
office complex containing eight separate buildings on the site.
The staff had only some minor suggestions and required revisions
to the plans. The developer is planning to petition this property
for B-P zoning.
At its February 7, 1977, meeting the Planning and Zoning Board
recommended for approval of this preliminary plan. They did
indicate that B-P zoning is consistent with their recommendations
in the overall program for this section of the city. They
would like the Council to consider implementing more land in
this area. We will have more information on this subject at
the Council meeting."
Paul Deibel spoke to the staff comments regarding this preliminary
plan with a recommendation for approval and added that the
Planning and Zoning Board had voted to recommend to the Council
that the City Council look again at the Board's recommendation
concerning the zoning pattern in this block. Councilmembers
expressed their desire to review this zoning pattern at an
early work session.
Councilman Bloom made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bowling
to approve the Prelimiinary Plat of East Elizabeth Medical PUD.
Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Suinn and
Wilkinson. Nays: None. (Councilman Russell out of room.)
Village East Second Filing, Final Plat -
Replat of Lots 12 through 17 Village East First Filing Approved
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"The final plat of the Village East Second, Filing and the replat
of lots 12 through 17 of Village East First Filing consists
of 15".2 acres. The property is north of Horsetoothl,Road between
Stover Street and Village East First Filing. Thes&.'two petitions
are together because the replat of the six lots will become part
of the final plat of the Second Filing. There will be a total
of 58 single-family lots in this project.
At its December 6, 1976, meeting, the Planning, and Zoning Board
recommended for approval of the final plat and replat."
305

City Attorney March advised the Council that the approval of -the
replat would require that Council vacate the streets rights -of -
way in the old plat and will be back before the .Council.
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Reeves_
to approve the final plat of Village East Second Filing and the
Replat of Lots 12 through 17 of Village East First Filing.
Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Russell, Suinn and
Wilkinson. Nays: None. (Councilman Bloom out of room.)
Final Plat of Village West Subdivision
Seventh Filing Approved
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"The Village West Seventh Filing consists of 6.5 acres located
east of Taft Hill Road and south of Prospect Street. Originally
this property was called Foothills Green, but it is now an
extension of the Village West Subdivision to the south due to
the change in ownership. Ridgewood Street will be extended
through this area.
At its July 12, 1976, meeting the Planning and Zoning Board
recommended for approval of this final plat. Engineering approval
has been held up on this project for some time while the developer
negotiated with the ditch company for permission to discharge
excess storm water into the ditch canal. All engineering require-
ments have now been met.,"
Developer, Bill Bartran, spoke to the problems of maintenance
of storm drainage detention areas.
City Manager Brunton stated the administration will be meeting
with the Storm Drainage Board and will report back on this item
in 30 days.
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilman Suinn
to approve the final plat of Village West Subdivision Seventh
Filing. Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Russell,
Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. (Councilman Bloom out of
room.)
Councilman Suinn requested a report on the development during
the past six months.
306
Disposal of Two Surplus Houses_ Approved
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"The City of Fort Collins has acquired houses on North Meldrum
in connection with the contemplated City Hall addition. These
houses will have to be moved or demolished.
Enclosed is a letter from Neighbor to Neighbor, Inc., requesting
one of these units. They would like to relocate this house to
732 Alta Vista Street. This lot is immediately adjacent to
the lot on which we are proposing to construct a City vest-
pocket or mini -park. They would like to use.this building for
a recreation center in conjunction with the park. They would
also use part of the building for an office and for temporary
housing for families who must be relocated.
The second proposal, which we have discussed for some time and
is included in the memo of February 4, 1977, from Jim Woods,
Housing Rehabilitation Director, is the demonstration program
to relocate another of these houses on Meldrum as a replacement
for a dilapidated house in Buckingham. We would deed the house
to Lester Cowell. Mr. Cowell will, in turn, get his grant and/
or loan for the restoration of this project in accordance with
our regular housing rehabilitation program. We do not feel that
any of our housing rehabilitation money can be used for the
acquisition of this property. However, money can be made
available for the moving.
If these houses are disposed of in the private market, the City
of Fort Collins would realize approximately $2,500 net for each
unit. This revenue would be credited against the City Hall
construction account. We are already slightly over our estimated
budget for land acquisition. We recommend that, subject to the
necessary legal requirements, the City of Fort Collins deed one
piece of property to Neighbor to Neighbor, Inc., and one piece
of property to Lester Cowell. Then $5,000 from Revenue Sharing
surplus should be transferred to the Seven Year Capital Improve-
ments Program Fund, City Hall account.
An agreement with Neighbor to Neighbor, Inc., on the use of the
property would be necessary. In effect we' --would be signing a
service agreement with them. For both houses, there should be
reversionary clauses in -case these houses are sold for profit
within a certain period of time. The rehabilitation program
and Neighbor to Neighbor, Inc., will share the c'ost,of renovating,
the tap fee as part of its share, and for rehabilitating that
portion of the building to be used for temporary"•Housing."
307
City Attorney March suggested that iri`the Neighbor to Neighbor
proposal, the City retain title to the house and lease.it to
Neighbor to Neighbor, Inc., for $1.00 per year and having some
built-in use by the City. On the other house, City Attorney
March stated if Council approved the sale of the house for
$2,500, there is a possibility of generating that money outside
of the City and the administration could proceed to rehabilitate
the house.
Gabe Oliver of Human Development, spoke in favor of the proposal
to sell one of the properties for $2,500 to Mr. Cowell. Housing
Rehabilitation Director Jim Woods stated Mr. Cowell had been
one of the earliest applicants for housing rehabilitation assis-
tance, but his property would not warrant a sizable rehab invest-
ment.
Councilman Bloom inquired:"l) had these transactions been advertised
and bids received; and 2) did the administration contact every
other social service agency in the community regarding, the
availability of these houses?" City Manager Brunton responded
"no". City Attorney March added that this is one reason why it
is proposed that the City retain title to the one property, and
on the second piece, Council would have to make a determination
if the $2,500 was -a- reasonable price for the property, there is
no requirement that the City go to formal bids in connection with
the sale of personal property.
Art Jackson, member of the Human Relations Commission, spoke in
favor of the two proposals. r
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by,Councilman Russell
to authorize the administration to enter into a sale for the
one house for $2,500. Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling, Gray, Reeves,
Russell, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: Councilman Bloom.
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Gray
to authorize the City Attorney to prepare the necessary legal
papers to provide for a lease to Neighbor to Neighbor for $1.00
per year. Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Russell,
Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: Councilman Bloom.
Construction Manager for City Hall
Project Named
Following-i.s the City Manager's memorandum and recommendation and
the memorandum from the Construction Manager Selection Committee
on this item:
"Enclosed is a memorandum from the Construction Manager Selection
Committee composed of Bill Holmes, Special Projects Director,
Bill Robb, Architect, Pat Polifka, Capital Improvements Coordinator,
and Robert L. Brunton, City Manager.
308
This has been a difficult assignment because of the many
variables. The basic fee is only one.'portion of the total
cost of the construction manager. Besides the basic fee,
there is the reimbursable cost of the project. The enclosed
material attempts to tabulate and analyze the various addi-
tional reimbursable and nonreimbursable items. Also, some
allowance must be made for the amount of work that would be
done by City forces in connection with the project. The last
variable is in connection with the amount of work the construc-
tion manager would do. In effect, a true construction manager
would only supervise the job and do no actual work with his
or her own forces. However, in most cases, there is a CM/GC
(construction manager/general contractor). Most construction
managers say a savings in money and especially the coordinating
parts of the items that have to be done at various intervals
through the project. This naturally adds'another variable to
the situation.
After evaluating all variablesincluding some basic assumptions
consistent with all bidders, the Committee feels that Construction
Inc., of Longmont is the low bidder. Most background reports
received on Construction, Inc., have been very good.
Personally, I would like to see a local contractor get this
job, but all of us on the Committee believe we should go along
with the lowest bidder providing he can do acceptable work.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the City
Council aut orize the retention of Construction, Inc., of
Longmont as the construction manager of the City Hall project."
Following is the memorandum from the Construction Manager Selection,
Committee:
"The selection of a Construction Manager for the City Hall Project
has been a long and tedious process for the Selection Committee --
to recommend one of the original nine bidders. It was the
Committee's decision to eliminate four of the original nine
bidders based on their base bid price, leaving the final selection
to the remaining five low bidders. The five finalists were
interviewed by the Selection Committee and are listed below:
Construction, Inc.
Hensel Phelps Construction Co.
Livingston Construction Co.
Reid Burton Construction Co.
Weaver Construction Co.
The final selection process was conducted with three specific
criteria in mind. The selection criteria consisted of the.
finalist's basic bid fees, the number and dollar amount of services
included in finalist's basic bid fee as opposed to reimbursable
309
services, and the finalist's organization ability to complete
the project and provide services compatible with City require-
ments. In order to make the final selection, the Committee
had to evaluate each finalist based on the selection criteria
and keeping in mind that the City Hall Project is estimated
to have a fourteen month construction period which has a direct
effect on all reimbursable costs.
Due to the inconsistent lists of reimbursable costs submitted
by the finalists, it was necessary for the Committee to devise
a common means of comparing cost. The agreed upon method is
shown in the attached supportive material entitled "Estimated
Total Cost Comparison." The results of the cost comparison,
listed below, is nly on the basic bid fees. The total costs
shown in the "oEstimated Total Cost Comparison" cannot be
construed .as the total contract price for each of the finalists
because of additional reimbursable costs included in the
Cbns:truction Manager Contract.. The cost comparison resulted in
the following ranking:
1. Construction, Inc.
2. Livingston Construction
3. Weaver Construction
4. Hensel Phelps Construction .t*...
5. Reid Burton Construction
The Selection Committee has based the following recommendation
upon the selection criteria stated above and have attached the
supportive materials with this recommendation.
RECOMMENDATION: The Selection Committee recommends that
Construction, Inc. of Longmont, Colorado be awarded the Construc-
tion Manager Contract for the City Hall Project based on their
low bid and meeting the selection criteria.
The Committee has clarified with Construction, Inc. all three
parts of their bid proposal for accuracy. Clarification was
made on the proposal statement which reads, "Overhead on Cost
of Work performed by CM/GC's own forces - 10%". Construction,
Inc. confirmed that the statement is intended to mean that any
labor performed by their own forces such as carpentry and concrete
but excluding personnel included in the basic fee, would be a
reimbursement cost based on a fixed basic wage plus 10% overhead
to cover the fringe benefits and handling costs. The 10% over-
head charge is comprised of the following:
FICA 5.85%
FEDERAL UNEMPLOYMENT .50%
STATE UNEMPLOYMENT 3.60%
HANDLING .05%
10.00%
316
If the Council feels that consideration should be given to
using a local Construction Manager, then the Committee would
recommend Livingston Construction of Fort Collins. The Council
should be aware that the cost differential to justify a local
Construction Manager would be approximately an additional
$10,000 to $15,000 as shown in the "Estimated Total Cost
Comparison" supportive material."
Councilmembers held extended discussion on this item and heard
from staff member Pat Polifka on the committee report. Mr. Justus
Wilkinson spoke in favor of having the Council award the bid to
local contractors.
Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Reeves
that Council authorize the retention of Construction, Inc., of
Longmont as the Construction Manager of the City Hall project.
