RE: Funds in -lieu of construction
Dear Dan:
The City has had the opportunity to review projected construction costs required to paid in -lieu of
construction pertaining to future Harmony Road widening and construction of sidewalk east of your
project as provided by your contractor Heath Construction (attached for your reference). Please be
advised that the City has approved of the estimates indicated in the attachment with the added cost of
$10,000 for the acquisition of an easement along the NextMedia property. These costs are broken down
below:
• $24,301.19 for Harmony Road widening abutting the project
• $5,000.00 for sidewalk along the NextMedia property
• $8,300.00 for sidewalk along the Poudre Fire Authority property
• $10,000.00 for the City's costs to acquire an access easement for the installation of the sidewalk
along NextMedia property
The total of the above referenced costs is $47,601.19 however, the City has no objection to your
providing an amount of $46,000 to cover the City's requirement. Please note that upon the City's receipt
of $46,000.00 the sidewalk offsite your property is no longer required to be constructed by the first
certificate of occupancy. In addition, we will process a refund in the amount of $8,300.00 for the portion
along the Poudre Fire Authority.
Should you obtain the access easement along the NextMedia property and construct the sidewalk along
said property, a refund in the amount of $15,000.00 will also be issued to you. This dollar amount is only
required to serve as a fund available to the City in the event that the City assumes the sidewalk
construction (and easement acquisition) responsibility along the NextMedia property as a result of you
being unable to complete these items prior to the first certificate of occupancy on your site.
Let me know of any thoughts or concerns regarding this.
Sincerely,
Ma§tIT. Virata
