MINUTES OF THE AVON URBAN RENEWAL AUTHORITY
HELD MARCH 11, 2008
The Avon Urban Renewal Authority meeting was held at the Avon Municipal Building, 400
Benchmark Road, Avon, Colorado in the Council Chambers.
Chairman Ron Wolfe called the meeting to order at 5:15 PM. A roll call was taken and
Commissioners present were Rich Carroll, Dave Dantas, Kristi Ferraro, Amy Phillips, and Tamra
Nottingham Underwood. Brian Sipes was absent. Also present were Town Attorney John
Dunn, Town Manager Larry Brooks, Administrative Services Director Patty McKenny, Town
Engineer Justin Hildreth, Assistant Town Manager Finance Scott Wright, Assistant Town
Manager Community Development Eric Heidemann, Public Works and Transportation Director
Jenny Strehler, and Community Relations Officer Becky Lawlor, as well as members of the
press and public.
Scott Wright, Treasurer, presented interest rates on the bonds for the past few weeks in
response to Councilor Carroll's request. This information would be forwarded to Council
periodically.
Discussion ensued on the topic of Lake Street parking. Town Engineer Justin Hildreth
distributed information related to the configurations of parking related to existing and proposed
parking spaces after Lake Street construction. There was concern by Councilors Carroll &
Dantas that the new configuration did not provide enough parking for this area of Avon. After
some further discussion, it was the consensus of Council to remain with the current plans along
Buck Creek to not include any parking spaces.
Jeff Schneider, Project Engineer presented the presentation of Lake Street Public
Improvements - Construction Contract Award to go to American Civil Constructors of Littleton.
He noted that there was two construction bids received on February 29, 2008 from American
Civil Constructors of Littleton and B&B Excavating of Edwards. B&B came in $600,000 over
budget. This project consists of a new road from West Beaver Creek Boulevard on the north, to
the Riverfront Lane Railroad crossing on the south. The advertisement for bids for the Lake
Street Public Improvements was expanded due to council direction in 2007 after one bid
exceeded the project budget was received for the Avon Station Project. The advertisement was
distributed to Denver Post/Rocky Mountain News, and plan rooms in Grand Junction, Colorado
Springs and Denver Metro Area. As a result the interest in the project was greater than other
projects and pre-bid meeting attendance was strong. Part of the advertisement for the bids
included housing as an off set to the travel expense. There will be a combination of labor from
Denver and locally and the subcontractors are local. Councilor Ferraro moved to approve the
award of the construction contract for Lake Street to American Civil Constructors of Littleton;
Councilor Phillips seconded the motion and it passed with a three to two vote (Sipes absent;
Dantas & Carroll nay).
CONSENT AGENDA
Chairman Wolfe asked for a motion to approve the consent agenda. Commissioner Ferraro
moved to approve the consent agenda, Commissioner Phillips seconded the motion and it
passed unanimously (Sipes absent).
