The Mayor stated that Mr. John Perkins had arrived so they continued with the discussion
of the Interfaith Chapel.
John Perkins AIA of Vail, on behalf of the religious group approached the Council. His
primary reason for being at the evening meeting was to show the Council a rendering
of the church building and to show that it could very possibly be put on the designated
site. The building is a triangle shape. He stated that there was no parking on the
site. The square footage of the building is about 9,000 sq.ft. on one floor, but there
was a possibility of a basement which could develop to 15,700 sq.ft. The seating
capacity for the sancutary is 300, that includes the balcony.
It was requested that the group check the church related parking ratio. The chapel
would also be used weekdays for meetings and etc...
It was asked when the construction of the chapel would commence. John Haeger stated that
maybe in a year an appropriate funding program would be established, but that was not
definite.
Councilman Wells asked if the religious group would own the land and the building. The
Mayor stated that that had not been discussed and that the Council would need legal
advice and input.
Mr. Haeger stated that the group would keep the Council informed.
The Mayor thanked the gentlemen for coming.

Dean Harper with Denton, Harper, Marshall approached the Council with an informal
presentation of the Town Mall. Mr. Harper presented to the Council a preliminary
Master Plan of the Mall. He stated that they were requested to submit a proposal for
services for detail design and construction documents for the Mall program. The
snow removal areas were discussed. Heated sidewalks were discussed, but not included
in the cost estimate.
Councilman Erickson stated he would like to know what Mr. Harper could offer the Town
and the Advisory Committee on the services, the prices for design.
Mr. Harper stated that the overall construction cost of the Mall was based on the
present Master Plan. They prepared two different estimates for Phase I and Phase II.
Phase I would essentially cost $342,450.00, that includes a 22% mountain construction
contingency inflation factor. The total Mall cost would be $1,115,889.00. The Mayor
stated that those figures were much higher than the first estimate cost($650,000).
Mr. Harper stated that the basic Mall cost $660,945.00 + 35% mountain construction
inflation would be $892,000.00 than when they add the park development that would be
another $165,000.00 + 35% and that comes up to the million dollar figure.
It was requested that Mr. Harper discuss his fees.
Mr. HarpeP stated that they programed their proposal for their services on a phase basis.
Phase I would be $24,000, phase II would be $26,000. The combined total would be $50,000.
These would be 1981 dollars.
The breakdown on an hourly basis for principles and suborinates with the companyv,7would
be $40-$45 per hour for principle time, $25-$35.00 per hour for associate level people,
$15-$20.00 per hour for craftmen. $7,000 of the $50,000 is based on site inspections
during construction.
Councilman Nottingham was concerned about the drain lines going through the church
site. It shouldn't infringe that far into the chapel site because they are talking
about constructing a basement. The drainage should be in an easement.
the Mayor stated as of the 9th of June 1981 the Town had not received the signed copies
of the Mall Agreement from Marcos M. Suarez and that the Town was hesitating going
forward until they were received.
Don Buick stated that he would like for them to go forward with the work on the Mall.
He stated that 97% of the people have signed the Mall Agreement and if necessary Avon
Center would continue to take the lead and get the Mall done.
After discussion A.J. Wells recommended that the Advisory Committee hire Denton, Harper,
Marshall for the design of Phase I on an hourly basis not to exceed $24,000.00, seconded
by Sheila Davis and was unanimously carried.
Councilman Wells stated that Denton, Harper, Marshall be advised that if they expand
out into the other area the legal description has to be changed on the Mall Agreement.
