Mayor Wolosyn said I see that there is someone here to speak about the dog ordinance . We will be scheduling
a Public Hearing later on in the meeting to discuss that ordinance . Also , I think that there has been some
mi s understanding ... because the proposed legislation does not include a breed specific ban. It does not have a
weight limit. So those were two things that somehow go t out there , that are inaccurate . As I said , that issue will
come up during the last part of the meeting .
(a) Cynthia Searfoss said I am an Englewood resident of nine years now . I am a dog owner . I
have two lovely boxers . And I am a six year volunteer w ith Ho-Bo Care Boxer Rescue in Denver, Colo rado .
Unfortunately , we are the only boxer rescue ... in Wyom ing , Colorado , Utah , New Mexico and Arizona right now ,
so we 're really rather busy . I have foster dogs . I provide in -home medical care for injured dogs . I prov ide
training . I provide physical and psychological rehabilitation training . My personal preference is behavior
modification , rather than negative reinforcement training . And I do extensive placement interviews for our
beloved little boxers . I'm here because I got over 140 e-mails the week after Thanksgiving saying that people
were going to have to sell their homes and move from Englewood because Englewood was go ing to put in a
generic bully type breed ban and a 55 pound limit on all dogs and , of course , we all know that 's not true . There
also have been lots of other wild things said about what 's going on in Colorado and limitations that's going to put
on our choice of lifestyle and our rescue missions . Our rescue missions in Denver Metro are suffering , because
of our economy and breed bans . So , I wanted to come and speak . I wanted to say thank you very much to
Mike Flaherty , because he has been very reasonable in sending me great e -mails and keeping me updated on
this, because I didn't want people to get hysterical and I didn 't want people to misunderstand , because , quite
frankly , nothing had been published until Friday. So , I have been sending updates and e-mails to all of the dog
rescue groups and dog chat groups that I'm a member of, for weeks now trying to keep people calmed down
and to have people understand that we are not trying to make , as fa r as we knew , any great changes in the City
of Englewood . I do have two questions . I got the ordinance language Friday and I got some clarification from
Mike today . I appreciate that. Thank you very much . But , I have two questions from the definition section . And
I was a little bit confused about two of the definitions . One is the proposed language that defines attac k as
when an animal bites , or attacks human beings or another domesticated animal. I would like to say that to me
to define the word attack using the word attack seems vague and a little bit arbitrary. I would like to suggest that
since the ordinance also , later on, defines bodily injury and ser ious bodily harm , that it would possibly make the
definition of attack more clear, if you used the definition of attack to say an event where there is bodily injury or
ser ious bod ily harm caused , for both the defin ition of attack on a domestic animal or an attack on a human
being , because I th ink that would be more c lear . I also wanted to speak to the definition of the vicious animal
because the vicious animal also contains the word bites or attacks and I think it might be more clear and it may
address what we 're try ing to address w ith using the ser ious bod ily injury and bod ily harm definition there as wel l.
And one of my reasons for th is is that. .. my biggest challenge , when interv iewing people and working with
people who have adopted dogs , and try ing to do behavior modificat ion , is to keep in people 's m inds that these
are an ima ls . T hese a re not human beings . T hey don 't have the same way o f communica ti ng that we do and
they don't ha ve the sa me moti vations tha t we do . And the hard est thi ng is to rem ind people t hat the se are no t
human beings on all fours . These are dogs and dogs communicate differently . And they have d ifferent
behavior patterns than human beings do and that, for a well-adjusted dog, biting and attacking is a last resort .
Dogs , in their behavior w ith other dogs, use posture . They walk away . They walk in arcs . They don't look at
the other dog . They use eye contact...not to be threatening . They will use barking to say get away , get
away ... to tell you their intention . As a last resort, they'll bite . This is a well adjusted, normal dog . There are
dogs out there who have been abused, who have behavior problems . But a dog 's behavior pattern is not to
automatically bite . They're giving us other clues as to what's going on with them . And the fact is that we don't
know what they are , for the most part, unless you work with dogs , you don't know what these clues are . And the
last resort is a bite . So , I just wanted to say that when you use the word attack , that maybe the serious bodily
harm and injury should be in the definition of attack . so that it is clear that there is serious grievous damage
caused ... to be considered an attack . Not just coming up and barking at your ankles . And also , under the issue
of the dog on dog aggression ... dogs are territorial animals . My yard is my dog's territory . I'm pretty convinced
my dogs think Englewood is their territory . And , when a dog approaches another dog they don 't know ,
frequently they will try to nip or bite or bark at them , to tell them to get away from my territory . And when you
leave their territory , there 's no further aggress ion . There 's no further attempt to follow you . There 's no further
attempt to interact w ith you , because what they have done. is communicated to you . You 've paid attention and
you 've left their area . So , that 1s why I wanted to say that I'm not quite conv inced that the definition of attack is
re lly addressing the issue of the egregious harm that we really do want to nip in the bud . On the other hand , I
(

would like to say , that when th is came out, I was really pleased to see that there are several issues that
Englewood is addressing that really haven 't been addressed before . I'm glad to see that. On section 7-1A -2 ,
dogs running at large comment , you have ... I'm sorry ... section C , item 3 , the unfenced yard without a person in
attendance ... when I first moved to Englewood , I couldn 't walk my dogs without having a st ick in my hand to hit
on-coming dogs with , because there were always dogs approach ing us without any people in attendance . This
is a problem that we still have in Englewood . I walk my dogs three to four times a day, so I experience this at
least once a week . This is an issue we have . We need to educate people , because we have a diverse cultu r e
here in Englewood . And it's becoming more and more diverse , and it's becoming more and more populated.
And we need to educate people as to what ou r expectations are as a community . And I think we need to let
people know that their dogs cannot just run at large , even when they're on their property ... they need to be
attended, when they 're not in the yard . The other thing I was really glad to see was sect ion 7-1 A-7 , under the
cruelty to dogs and cats defin ition, under your section C ... you 're finally addressing the tethering issue . We live
in a neighborhood ... I live behind Swedish Hospital. We live in a neighborhood where there are a lot of people
who can 't afford upkeep on their properties, but they still deserve the r ight to have pets. And they do tether their
dogs . But, we do have a few people who do not take great care in how they tether them and for how long they
leave them out there . And I think that's an issue that we may need to address further because there are several
people in my neighborhood who leave their dogs tethered and unattended all the time , and without food and
water. So I was very glad to see that . Lastly , I really appreciate, as a dog owner, section 7-1A-10, the vicious
animals prohibited , section C ; with the affirmative defense ... I was not really happy two years ago when they
passed the House Bill 04 -1279 saying that dog owners have strict liabil ity and they adjusted that to give us
some defenses. But I think it needs to be more clearly defined , because I think that we want to encourage
responsible dog ownership in Englewood , and I think that goes a long way to encourage people to be self
responsible and to take care of their own prob lems . Thank you very much .
Mayor Wolosyn said thank you very much and we 'll be scheduling a Public Hearing and we appreciate your
comments ton ight.
(b) Brook Dougherty said I've been an Englewood resident fo r almost two years . I've worked in
Englewood for six years . I work right across the street at VRCC , as a veterinary technician . I love Englewood .
I love the City. And I actually plan to live here forever . I plan to raise my family here . I'm a huge dog advocate .
And the main thing that I want to get across is education , education , education . I think one of the things that we
really need to step up and try to do is educate dog owners . Almost every s ingle weekend , I have someone
come into the emergency clinic and they don 't know the fi rst thing about owning a cat or a dog , and we have to
educate them . We have to euthanize puppies all the t ime because they get parvo , because the owners had no
idea that they needed vacc ines . Fr iday nigh t I had a gentleman come in with his Mastiff, who had bloat , which is
whe n the stomach twists , and he had no idea that that was ve ry common for his breed to do that. And it is all
ba sed on education . He loved his dog . He paid the money for it. It was nice to see that. Bu t many of us
technicians have th ree-l egged dogs ... o ne-eyed dog s ... dogs tha t have been rel inqui sh ed that we can't eu than ize
just because someone was uneducated on owning that animal. So, I just really want to stress education and if
maybe somehow Englewood can start leading the force with educating owners ... l'm sure Cynthia understands
that as well . I think that Englewood needs to be a model City , when it comes to the vicious dog ordinance .
There are many things that Englewood is addressing that many other cities are not. So, I think that we are
taking a step in the right direction , but I really think that we need to get out of the comfort zone when addressing
this vicious dog ordinance and really punish the owners, who have these vicious dogs . And also it needs to be
looked at case by case ... for the reason of your property ... your dogs do un derstand that their house is their
house and they're there to protect. I'm alone many nights , because my husband is a paramedic and works 24
hour shifts . My dogs sleep in the bed with me and I feel comfortable with that. And if someone were to break
into my house. and my dog were to attack , that is their job . And yes, I have pit bulls and I am afraid what would
happen to me if that got out. Actually , my pure breed pit bull would hide under the bed from the man that would
probably try to attack me and my German Shepherd-Husky mix would help me in regards to defending me . So ,
I j ust am very passionate about education . I try to educate every person that comes into our hospital and I
would li ke to see Englewood be a leader in educating dog owners . Thank you .
Mayor Wolosyn said thank you .
7 Recognition of Unscheduled Public Comment

(a) Laurel Miller, an Englewood res iden t, was present to d iscuss barking dogs . She said I wrote a
lette r to each of you regarding the incessant barking of my neighbor's Newfoundland over the past 15 months .
This barking has really disturbed my sense of peace and well being in my home . As I stated in my letter , I have
tried everything that I could th ink of to try and reconcile this situation with my neighbor , in a fr iendly way. Th is
has not worked and therefore , I stand before you ton ight on behalf of all those in my s ituation , whose peace has
been destroyed by incons iderate and irrespons ible dog owners . I ask you to put into place ordinances that are
concrete , strict and enfo r ced, so that people like me would know that they w ill be protected by the law. I believe
that a three-step process would be fair . The first infraction would be a warning . The second infraction would be
a second warning with a hefty fine . And the third infraction would be considering removing the dog from the
premises . These consequences must be well advertised , so that everyone knows that disturbing the peace with
bark ing is not allowed in Englewood . Along with this ordinance on barking , I urge you to revise the ordinances
on plac ing dog poop in people 's garbage cans . For the last year, somebody has been putting opened bags of
dog poop in my garbage can, almost on a daily basis . This is revolting to me and I really don't know what to do
about it. If, again, there was a large fine associated with this action, maybe it would be a deterrent. Lastly, I am
in full support of our intrepid mail carriers , who cheerfully deliver our mail , in all of our inclement weather. Their
job can be rough and they should not have to contend with vicious dogs or any dogs for that matter. I sincerely
hope that you will take these matters under serious consideration . We live very close to one another in
Englewood and we must respect each other 's des ire for peace in our home . You all can help us achieve this by
sett ing boundaries and strict ground rules . Thank you for your time .

Nays : None
Motion carried and the publ ic hearing opened .
Senior Planner Langon , duly sworn , said for your consideration tonight is a public hearing on Council Bill No . 52,
amendments to 16-5, Use Regulat ions of the Unified Development Code , pertaining to emergency temporary
shelters . I've already submi tted proof of publication that the public notice for this hearing wa s published in the
Englewood Herald on December 22 , 2006 . Back in 2004, when the UDC was adopted , we added a definition of
emergency temporary shelters to the UDC . Prior to that time , the zoning code did not have a definition . And
also there was no mention of emergency temporary shelters in the Code . So when we adopted the UOC, in that
update , we added the term and the definition and allowed the shelters in the MU -B-2 and the MU -R-3-A zone
districts . And that reasoning was based on the fact that the Broadway zone , the MU -8-2, and the R-3-A zone .
which was directly adjacent to the Broadway corridor , would be close to transit. .. and allow for people to reach

the emergency temporary shelters . In late 2005 , a church in an R-2-B res idential zone used their basement to
house a shelter ... to create a shelter . They did that during a time of extreme cold weather. The issue came up
and was reviewed for both zon ing and the fire safety issues , and it was determined that , mostly ... beyond the
zoning issue , were the fire and safety issues . This topic was discussed with Council back in January 2006 and
in October 2006 . And at that time , during those study sessions , Counc il directed staff to maintain the
emergency temporary shelters in the two existing zone districts and to provide review criteria of how the City , in
a coordinated manner, could lo ok at temporary shelters and also addres s the health and safety issues. The
proposed amendments are intended to clar ify the terms and the requ irements , establish a review process and
provide regulations that meet , not only zoning , but also safety concerns . Th is is not a homeless ordinance .
This is an ordinance for emergency shelters ... temporary shelters that would fit the need of the community in
times of flood or tornado or maybe a homeless situation , such as occurred in 2005 with the church . The
amendments are on page 20 and page 6 . The main amendment is to Table 16-5-1.1 , Table of Allowed Uses,
where the use or allowance of the temporary shelters was changed to a Limited Use rather than a Conditional
Use . Under Conditional Use , that would require a tiearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission and
considering that this is supposed to be for a temporary use , something that would be short term and probably
would come up unscheduled, considering the Conditional Use method requires the hearing and the publication ,
probably taking as much as 3 weeks ... it wasn 't logical to try to fit a temporary situation into some prescribed
time frame . So, therefore , we changed that to a Limited Use and then created a criteria under the Limited Use
in Section 16-5-6 which is a new section that addressed the timeframe and a definition of what the C ity would
consider temporary and that would be setting a maximum of five consecutive days per Limited Use permit w ith a
maximum of six permits per calendar year . Because this is an emergency situation and we don 't know ... we
can 't schedule what an emergency is , we have also included some discretion for the City Manager or designee
so that if say a tornado hits and there is a large number of people that are in need of a shelter ... if a five day
period is not suffic ient and we need to adjust that , we can make adjustments within that. If this is a regional
d isaster, we can look at that on an individual act ivity or event basis . In the chart we also took out Food Shelters
as a use type . Under the UDC there was Food Shelter and the Emergency Housing Shelter ... and those are two
different types of uses and so we removed that and we are going to be looking at that as an Accessory Use and
take that , probably , under the Unlisted Use procedure later , after reviewing that with Planning Commission . She
said I would be happy to answer any questions .
Mayor Wolosyn asked if there were any questions .
Council Member Woodward sa id I just want to than k T ri cia for answer ing some of the questions that I had last
meet ing , tha t I had brought up . I think this pretty well g ives me the answers that I was look ing for.

registered voters to be reviewed every four years and if redistricting is requ ired , it needs to be completed six
months prior to the General Municipal Election . The Election Commission reviewed the study done by John
Voboril in Community Development and found that the current districts were within the Charter requirement of
no greater than 15% differential of registered voters between the highest and lowest district and the State
Constitutional requirement of 5% between high and low on the population . So, the Election Commission
recommends adopting Option 1 ... there is a map attached in your packet. .. which would put the population
percentage difference at 4 .99% and the registered voters percentage differential between high and low at
5 .35%.
Mayor Wolosyn asked if there were any questions for Frank or for Lou . There were none .

Mayor Wolosyn said thank you Frank .
(i i) Director Simpson presented a recommendation from the Community Development
Department to adopt a bill for an ordinance authorizing removal of the billboard at 2730 South Broadway and
rebu ild ing the b illboard at 2896 South Broadway under a non -revocable permit. He said currently we have two
legally permitted billboards located at 2730 and 2896 South Broadway . The owner of both of these propert ies ,
wh o h as these billbo ards o n them , has bee n interes te d in hav ing one of these b illboard s removed in orde r to
help facilitate some red evelopmen t of one of t he sites . However, just to g ive yo u s o m e background, that
particular billboard is ... they are an interesting kind of concept , but as a result , they can't necessarily be removed
because the lease on that is basically forever . And so , what we have done is between the City and the property
owner , we have been able to negotiate for removal of the billboard at 2730 South Broadway and in essence , we
have been able to permanently remove one billboard and rebuild the one at 2896 South Broadway and have it
an im proved structure . By doing this , we are bas ically reducing the total number of billboards in Englewood
from two to one on these two propert ies . We are facili tating the redevelopment of the s ite at 2730 South
Broadway and w e are reduc ing site clutter along Broadway . We are here tonight to request th is through
ordinance , because staff has no abili ty to grant th is and there is no appeal ability , so it has to come d irectly by
ordinance through C ity Council , if you are inclined to do this . We request that you approve th is ord inance.
M ayor Wolosyn asked if there was any discussion .
Council M embe r Barrentine said le t me get th is stra ight. We have two billboards now and they are going to g ive
up one? M r . Simpson said correct. She said okay . So both of them will come down from wh ere they are

under this agreement. The size of it will increase slightly , but basically what you are doing, you are getting rid of
one billboard out of the two ... so a reduction of 50%. Ms . Barrentine said so they are doing that so that they
can ... they are redoing a building or? ... Mr. Simpson said at the place where the billboard is going away , it will
become available for redevelopment, because where the billboard is currently, it is creating restrictions in the
footprint of the buildings . So, it will allow it to be fully maximized on the property, for redevelopment purposes .
Ms . Barrentine said the billboard condition presently that is allowed is ... Mr. Simpson said ... would not go away
unless we somehow come to this agreement. What the result would be , at the 2730 location, if you were not to
approve this ordinance, for example , that sign would remain as it is currently ... both signs would remain as they
are currently ... they would not ever go away, unless they are completely destroyed by some freak of nature,
because they are completely made out of steel. They would not ever go away and it will create a different
configuration for redevelopment. It will not max imize the redevelopment potential on that north property . Ms .
Barrentine said okay.
Council Member Woodward said 2730 is currently vacant ground waiting for redevelopment? Mr. Simpson said
that is correct. Mr. Woodward said 2896 ... the billboard there that is going to be rebuilt. .. you said the face of the
billboard will slightly increase in size? Mr . Simpson said that is correct. Mr. Woodward said okay.
Council Member Barrentine said the total billboard signage will decrease, because we are missing one sign so it
is not going to be twice the size . I mean it will still diminish the amount of billboard . Mr . Simpson said you are
diminishing the total number, and the total size area , if you combine everything, is actually a 10% reduction . It is
not as much as I would like, but the total number of signs in the City will be reduced ... which is important.
Mayor Wolosyn said so the new billboard will be almost twice as big as the existing one ... if it's a 10% decrease
in total signage ... Mr. Simpson said no. It goes from a 12 x 25 current to a 14 x 48 . Council Member Moore said
that is huge .
Council Member Mccaslin said who currently uses the billboard? Mr. Simpson said they are owned by CBS
Outdoor.
Council Member Moore said what is coming down ... what is the size of the one that is coming down? Mr.
Simpson said the same size ... 12 x 25. Mr. Moore said I don't have a frame of reference , but that sounds almost
twice the size . Mr. Simpson said it will be 300 square feet larger at the new location . That is correct. But the
total square foot area of all signs combined is improved . Mayor Wolosyn said of the two signs . Mr . Simpson
said yes , of the two signs .
Director Simpson sa id there are many factors here .
Council Member Barrent ine said I mean , its kind of like having ... you know ... three liquor stores ... okay they are
all small, little liquor stores ... l'd rather have one big liquor store and have people pass it quicker , than have
three smaller billboard signs , one right after another ... that is more negative than one brand new rebuilt one . But
the total amount does diminish then, but not by a lot. Mr. Simpson said correct. I think that is a great way of
expressing it.
Mr. Simpson said the reason I am bringing this forward is it is a policy decision that you have to approve. I can't
make it , but it was my op ini on that what you are doing is reducing the total number of billboards . While the size
is certainly increasing on that one billboard , you are getting r id of one that could never , ever go away .
Council Member Barrent ine said how is this interfering w ith the development of that property? Mr. Simpson said
the base of the structure is where a new building footprint would be going . Ms . Barrentine said the base of the
structure is actually on the ground or on a building? Mr . Simpson said on the ground ... the base of that sign
structure would be where the new footprint would be placed . And so therefore, if it remains, which it will , the
building will probably not be as efficient or won 't be developed in that manner and so it probably won't go in
there ... and we are looking at, at least a couple of storied building there .

S impson said yes, it is going to be 2 feet higher and it will be longer. It will be more of the standard billboard
size .
Council Member Barrentine said what do you mean the standard billboard size? Mr. S impson said if you go
down Broadway and other locations where there are new billboa rds , they are a larger format than what our two
old ones are .
Council Member Moore said it certainly would be helpful to have pictures . Is there a rush to get this agreement
done? I, personally , would prefer to have photos before I vote on this . Mr . Simpson said I can get you
drawings .
Mayor Wolosyn said I think we are meeting next week in a regular session ... it is not a two week delay.
Mr. Moore said I have one other question. You mentioned that there is no other way to do this . I just want to
clarify ... I mean is rezoning an option? Educate me . Director Simpson said there are no land use options that
exist. This has to come from you . Mr . Moore said I am asking if us rezoning is an option . Mr. Simpson said no,
it is not. Council Member Moore said Dan can you explain that?
City Attorney Brotzman said and the answer is ... what you would be looking at is a taking ... and the answer
is ... in the land of billboards, you may not. It becomes a free speech issue . Council Member Moore said we had
the right to prohibit any new ones , we had the right to prohibit remodeling them , but we do not have the right to
take one of them away? City Attorney Brotzman said that is correct.
Council Member Oakley said given the fact that the property owner owns both properties and it's going to hinder
him developing one property like he would like to and he is willing to move it over to the other and we can't do
anyth ing about the sign company , I don 't know what other options we have , unless we want to hinder the
development.
Council Member Moore said two small billboards as opposed to one twice the size ... and maybe this is the right
solution ... but, it is hard to imagine . We are generally saying ... obviously, from past action we have decided
billboards are not what we want in the community and now we are doubling the size of one. I am not sure what
is the lesser evil. This is probably fine ... I would just li ke a visual for it.
Council Member Oakley sa id if we are going to end up with the same footage and not hinder development , I
would say that is the way we go.
Council Membe r Barrentine sa id he sa id we end up w ith 10% les s and I still st ick w ith .... l would rathe r have a
big ger, newer o ne ... one ... than two smaller ones tog e t her. When we re thos e origin ally b ui lt. .. the two ? D irector
Simpson said they were granted back in 1960 ... the early 60's . So, they have been there a long time . They
were granted by a variance that ran with the land and as a result they are one of those few billboards that can
never go away. They have tremendous value to the sign company.
Council Member Barrentine asked if the same sign company holds the lease on both of them . Director Simpson
said that is correct. And, Ms . Barrentine said, this sign company is willing to give up two ... Mr. Simpson said
they are willing to give up one . Ms . Barrentine said I mean they are willing to give up accessibility to two ... to
j ust have a newer one that is bigger , that is more standard to what is being built today . Mr. Simpson said yes .
Mayor Wolosyn said all John is asking for is a one week comfort zone .
Council Member Moore said I'll further clarify ... do we need two readings on th is? Mayor Wolosyn said yes . Mr .
Moore said so we could pass it ton ight , but request for the second reading that we have all the information .
Director Simpson said okay , that will be fine .
Council Member Oakley said if that is the compromise , I propose that we pass it tonight and review It on second
reading .

Council Member Moore said as long as that is understood , I am happy with that.
Mayor Wolosyn said okay. I have one question , on the background analysis and alternatives , you have the
thing about the current sign code doesn't adequately address the issue of billboards and this two for one policy
"may" be incorporated into the new sign code revision . However, in the actual ordinance, the language is
changed to this two for one pol icy "will " be incorporated . I myself would feel more comfortable with "may" be
incorporated.
Director Simpson said I would prefer to keep it "may" ... I actually didn't get to write this particular version .
Mayor Wolosyn asked if everyone was comfortable with that. .. I can add that as an amendment? Director
Simpson said that is just in the staff report , I would just say ... don't go there . Take this on a case-by-case basis .
Council Member Moore said we don't have any more, we are down to one . Why do we need a two for one?
Mayor Wolosyn said that was another question I was going to ask . Why do we have this clause in here at all?
Director Simpson said there are other billboards in the City . I can give you the total number. But, there are not
that many, there are some that are located on South Santa Fe . Council Member Moore said okay.
'
Council Member Barrentine said these aren 't the only two .
Mayor Wolosyn asked if there were any other questions .
Council Member Barrentine said this issue has come up with a couple of the other billboards ... when I have been
out talking to business owners and I appreciate that you have taken a creative stance to work with these people ,
because what is happening is that people are not moving forward, because they are not willing to give up
revenue that is already dedicated or on leases that they can't give up and I don't want to give up the
redevelopment there . There are several on South Broadway, in my district, that I would like to see explored
also . So I am really glad that you are taking these proactive stances and at least bringing it to the table . That is
smart .
Mayor Wolosyn said if there isn't any other discussion, do I have a motion?

(iii) Senior Planner Langon presented a recommendation from the Community
Development Department to adopt a bill for an ordinance authorizing an amendment for the Denver Seminary
Planned Unit Development and to schedule a Public Hearing on February 5 , 2007 to take public comment on
the proposed amendment. She said, by background , the original PUD was approved by Council as Ordinance
No. 52 , Series 2004 . The Denver Seminary site was purchased by Continuum Partners in 2005 and per the
PUD, any amendments that are purposed must follow the PUD process, which would be a complete review
again through Public Hearings of Planning and Zoning Commission and Council. The applicant submitted the
amendment application on October 30th , after having the pre-application neighborhood meeting on October 1 i h,
and the Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval on December 5th . The original PUD
rezoned the site to allow 350 residential units and 65,000 square feet of retail space . The original PUD
remained in effect , unless it is modified by these Amendment 1 measures and the request is to amend specific
aspects of the original PUD . The general character of the PUD is not being changed . It is still a for-sale
residential development with a retail component. There is no change to the allowed uses and no change to the
building height. What is being proposed is a change to the layout of the development, the building
configurations and through that, the building envelopes ... that is the area in which buildings can be built. .. the
landscaping setbacks , and the phasing of the development , as well as a reduction in the retail space and thus a
reduction in the retail parking ratio, as well as changes to the turn lane on South University onto Hampden to
mitigate intersection conflicts that were identified with COOT. Again, the request is to set a Public Hearing to
address this issue on February 5th .
Mayor Wolosyn asked if there were any questions for Tricia .
Council Member Woodward said with regard to the neighborhood meetings , the type of feedback that you
received at those, can you share that with us? Ms . Langon said I would say generally favorable. Most were just
there to have questions answered . The applicant has done something similar to the original applicant and
talked to the neighborhood groups ahead of time . They were still working closely with Kent Village and with the
neighborhood to the north, because of the sound wall . So, a lot of that discussion was occurring ahead of
time ... so, I think , generally favorable .
Council Member Woodward said okay and were there any discussions on the shadowing or the study for the
shadowing with the revised building there ... on the north side of Floyd Place , I believe it is? Ms . Langon said my
understanding fr om the developer that they did not do a new shadow study, but did an interpolation from that
study based o n the new building layout. I th ink how they explained it at that meeting ... the shadow would
possibly be longer, but for a shorter period . Mr . Woodward said I wonder if they could share that with us at the
Public Hearing . I know Arapahoe County addressed it in their materials also ... a concern regarding that. The
other question I have is on changing the two lane turns from University onto Hampden into one lane, which I
assume means that lane is going to be much longer ... Ms . Langon said correct. Which , Mr. Woodward said,
gets it r ight back to one of the entrances , I assume . Ms . Langon said not quite as far back as the entrance . but
it will be longer than what was proposed . And the reason it is going back to a single lane is the double lane
offsets the intersection too much for cross traffic onto south bound University. Mr. Woodward said okay. Ms .
Langon said I am sure their traffic engineer will be here on the 5th and can explain all that. Mr. Woodward said if
the traffic people feel that works , can address that.. .but , it just seems that two lanes move more traffic than one
lane , if the lights are the same. Ms . Langon said I will leave that to the traffic engineer.
Council Member Oakley said the offset. .. that might be if the lane is longer on 285 , they may be able to go
ahead and make a right and slow down and stay in that lane a little longer and then progress out into traffic .
Council Member Tomasso said but the light sequence wouldn't be any different. You wouldn 't get any more
vehicles ... if you had two lanes you would get twice as many vehicles through the light .
Council M mber Woodward said and you wo uld get them right to the entry here as they are turning , so ... it 1s up
to ng1n ring

Council Member Mccaslin said I'm trying to recall ... wasn't there a discussion about the availability of the fire
department to get into the first proposal? Has that been addressed ... the safety issues as far as hydrants, water
and so forth? Ms . Langon said with the new layout, the internal roadways are actually wider, so that will actually
help with the emergency vehicle traffic through there . Mr. Mccaslin said was that the original concern ... it was
just getting the fire trucks in there?
Council Member Moore said it is an issue of distance ... the distance from ... it is one of the furthest points ... and it
is relatively densely populated, as opposed to actual configuration . Mr. Mccaslin said okay, thanks.
Council Member Moore said I just want to second Jim 's comment. I would definitely like to hear specifically
about the shadowing during the Public Hearing . Ms . Langon said I will make sure to pass that along, so that
they will be able to address it.
Mayor Wolosyn asked if there were any other questions . There were none.

12 . General Discussion
(a) Mayor's Cho ice
(i) Mayor Wolosyn said I know there is go ing to be a funeral for Jim Ulrich tomorrow at
10 :30 a .m . I would just like to have the address ... maybe it could be forwarded ... the address of the Catholic
Church . Director Olson said it is at the Light of the World Church at Bowles and Kipling. Mayor Wolosyn said
maybe he would like to talk a little bit about tomorrow .
Director Olson said the serv ices will be at 10 :30 at Light of the World Church . We figure the service will be
about 45 m inutes long , so it is going to be relatively involved . There will be a lot of people attend ing this serv ice
so if you are interested in com ing , I would suggest that you get there probably around 10 o 'clock or 10 :15 . M ike
has the add ress here . It is 10316 West Bowles . Thanks Mike . There will be plenty of parking available for tha t.
Abou t 11 :30 we w ill start the procession , wh ich w ill proceed from the church to Ft. Logan and w ill be in
Assembly Area A . Aga in , everybody is we lcome to be in the process ion , so there w ill not be a lot of m ingling
afterward s ... most l ik ely we ha v e to be relatively o n ti me fo r the Ft. Logan cerem ony . There w ill be a fly ove r by
Airlife helicopters ... both at the church and at the interment. The interment will be at Ft. Logan at noon and
those generally won't take more than 15-20 minutes . Then the reception will be back here in the Community
Room at 1 o'clock . At that time we will be able to have an open mike, so to speak , for remembrances and so
forth , regarding Jim . That is essentially the plan for tomorrow . Again , it is a very tragic situation ... something
that came about very rapidly and caught a lot of us off guard . Jim was very brave right up until the end , but
unfortunately the disease finally took hold and he did pass away from it. We will be there to remember him
tomorrow and ho pefully all of you will , if nothing else, be able to make it at least to the reception if possible , if not
to the service itself.
Mayor Wolosyn said please extend my condolences to the Department. Council has sent something to the
family . Thank you .
Director Olson said I w ill be do ing the eulogy tomorrow and I will be mentioning that during th eulogy .

(b) Council Members ' Choice
(i) Council Member Barrentine :
1 . She sa id I want to thank Community Development again . I like the innovative th ings that you are doing
and one of those has brought yet more investment into the community and fortunately , this time, in my distr ict.
The building at Quincy and Broadway will be demol ished and a Starbucks is going up on there ... a n ice corner
for tha t. That property has been , I believe , vacant for the vast majority of the time that I have been on Council.
Do you have an update on it? I'm excited about it. I'm very happy . It is going to look really good right across
from the brand new Bank West that was just bu ilt. It is start ing to move down there .
Director Simpson said we are excited about it too . It is going to be a new Starbucks at 4298 South Broadway .
Building permits are approved . They are getting ready to do the approval of a demo permit and as a result , it
will have a spring construction timeframe . As Council Member Barrentine had mentioned, it has been vacant
for some time and as a result it was previously a gas station , a used car lot and now moving into the
redevelopment process . The site has a very large frontage on Broadway and it will be what they call a company
Starbucks as opposed to a franchise Starbucks ... the first one on the north portion of Broadway. And I think
because of the fact that it is a company Starbucks , they are actually upgrading the landscaping and architecture ,
so I think we are going to see an improved level of that. That's really all , but we are excited .
Council Member Barrentine said it will be a drive-thru . Director Simpson said it will be a drive-thru . Ms .
Barrentine said , once again , when I talked to Epic Construction , when I talked to the gentlemen there that were
working and the manager ... just excellent things that they sa id about work ing w ith the City ... that makes all the
d ifference in bringing this kind of investment in and I am glad to see it hitting on South Broadway ... it won 't be
the last of it. And with you and Darren working with these guys , I am impressed . Thank you very much .
Director Simpson said thank you . He noted that Public Works , the Building Department and Utilities all really
contribute to making these things work and make it happen . Thank you very much .
Mayor Wolosyn sa id thank you Bob .
2 . She sa id I wanted to po int out the report from Public Works . While I enjoyed the first storm and the
second sto rm and I am very impressed w ith my block and my neighborhood and I love l iving in Englewood for
th e se k in d s of ti mes when all the ne ighbors come togethe r and we wen t and had cook ies at each others hou ses,
ha d ho t chocolate a nd shoveled each others ' walks . I am sure that we were all k ind of burnt out by the third
one, bu t im pres sed to see the kind of comments that were made about Publ ic Works ... that you guys go t out
there , that you got out there right away . I he ard most of the com pliments fr om peop le wh o , unfortunately, had to
deal with Denver, Aurora and Lakewood , because that was where the real. .. the proof was in the pudding when
they had to go outside this community and realize that we hold to a pretty high standard and that Rick Kahm and
his department maintains that. I also found out , in talking to Rick , that that department has been cut by about a
third over the last eight years and for them to perform ... those 18 men ... to go ahead and perform to the level that
they did, I am extremely proud . I'm also proud of my neighbors . We shoveled a lot , but we did that for free and
I am just really happy to see the report here and I don't think it could be said better ... that the conclusion of this
report from Public Works says : Public Works has managed its budget well through 2006 and at this time, that
Rick believes. that these additional expenditures from these storms can be covered within the 2006 budget. .. so
a lot of work and excellent budget news on the same report . Congratulations . I really appreciate all the hard
work ... that was excellent.
3. She said I wanted to bring up one concern that I had about the things that were said earlier with the dog
issue . I have a concern that it 1s being put across . at this point , that people are just getting all this wrong
information and that they Just misunderstood and blew things out of proportion . At that Study Session , at that
m ting , where th v1c1ou dog ord 1nanc wa discussed . at the same time and the same packet was presented
br d p c1 f1c b n ordinanc It wa d 1 cus ed . It was agreed on . The Issue has not gone away. It was not

had taken the t ime to put an ordinance together. Wh ile it was my understanding that we were not interested in a
breed specific ban , the ordinance , nonetheless , showed up . So, it is still on the table as far as I can tell. It is still
being discussed . And so, if people are bringing those issues up, they didn't just pull it out of thin air. It was
something that really, truly happened at that meeting . While the time ran out and we never did get to additional
talk about that...it existed . And so , if people have a concern about those issues then I would believe that they
should stay concerned that it is still being discussed with in Council.
Mayor Wolosyn said I just want to second your comment about Public Works . Thank you for bringing up those
well deserved comments .
(ii) Council Member Mccaslin said I just want to say thank you to Rick Kahm and his office .
I had one complaint and it was taken care of right away . But I also read in the paper where there is Federal
money available . I don't know if we can get any of that money or if it is offered to us ... do you know?
City Manager Sears said actually Rick and Mike have been talking about that. Actually if it is okay, a quick
statement about that would probably be a good thing . Rick, do you want to talk about that?
Director Kahm said it was advertised on the television this week that there would be some FEMA money
available . I met with Mike first thing this morning . It is still unclear as to exactly what they will cover. .. they will
cover some overtime costs, possibly some equipment rental costs . The dates that they will cover are still
unclear. The events started on the 201
h here . When we were reading it today, it sounded like it might only be
through the 22nd ... but we will follow up on that. But, whatever is available , we will actively pursue . In the 2003
storm , I think Mike said that they refunded this at 75% of our expenditures . So, there may be something there ,
but we just don't know what it is yet.
Council Member Mccaslin said thank you .
Mayor Wolosyn said thank you . And thank you Bob, for bringing that up .
(iii) Cou 1 ,..:ii Member Moore said I will move Council Bill No. 2 , which is an attempt to clarify
some existing language with respect to storage of trailers in residential areas ... we are attempting to add more
detail , where we weren't specific enough before .
Mayor Wolosyn said I would like to add that trailers were not actually defined and it made it possible for any size
veh icle to be stored on property and this ordinance clar ifies the type of tra ilers that may be stored .
COUNCIL MEMBER MOORE MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED , TO APPROVE COUNCIL BILL NO. 2.
COUNCIL BILL NO . 2 , INTRODUCED BY COUNCIL MEMBER MOORE
A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 15, CHAPTER 9 , SECTION 2, OF THE ENGLEWOOD
MUNICIPAL CODE 2000 , TO CLARIFY THE TYPE OF TRAILERS THAT MAY BE STORED .
Mayor Wolosyn asked if there was any discussion .
Council Member Oakley said in the second "Whereas" ... they need to add an "or" between rear and side ... to
match the other word ing further on in the ord inance.
Mayor Wolosyn asked if there were any other comments or disc uss ion .
Council Member Woodward said I ju st want to make a po in t that th is addresses tra il ers ... ! actually had two calls
regarding th is ... it does not address motor homes and other items ... th is is trailers on ly. So nothing is changed
w ith regard to motor homes.

trailers to begin with . I would have like to have seen us have a Public Hearing on this , so that some of these
issues could have been addressed since we are changing something that has been somewhat controversial and
now limiting it again . So , I will be voting no against it for that reason . I really think that we should have made
the effort for something that was controversial to at least hear from the public .
Mayor Wolosyn said thank you .
Vote results:
Ayes : Council Members Mccaslin , Moore , Wolosyn , Woodward,
Tomasso, Oakley
Nays : Council Member Barrentine
Motion carried and Council Bill No. 2 was approved as amended .
[Clerk's note: Council Bill No . 2 was listed on the Agenda as Item No . 12 (b) (i).J
(iv) Council Member Oakley :
1. He said I too would like to commend all the City employees that helped us through this storm and the
emergencies that it created . Of course, everybody knows that the bulk of it falls on Public Works , but there are
other divisions involved too . What Rick said about being able to accomplish what they did ... and accomplish it
with fewer men . As you know, I can really attest to that, because I originally helped set up the plan and we
followed the plan , I think pretty much this time as we set up almost 20 years ago . They worked then and they
work now. Good job.
Mayor Wolosyn said Wayne I would like to thank you for the comments you made to a citizen ... they were helpful
to me.
2 . He said since we are going to be talk ing about the dog ordinance and attacks on animals and stuff ... l
did have a call from a citizen who actually lives on my block ... 4600 block on Mariposa ... and this is a vicious
animal , but it is not a dog . Unfortunately, two neighbors had three dogs attacked and one killed by a fox and
partly devoured one dog . So , this may be something that we may have to be addressing in the future when it
comes to vicious animals .
Council Member Woodward said I think , but I don 't know for a fact , but I think that Colorado Wildlife is a venue
for them .
Council Member Oakley said I am sure they will be, but nevertheless, a v icious animal is a vicious animal.
Mr. Woodward said yes , no question .
(v) Council Member Tomasso :
1. COUNCIL MEMBER TOMASSO MOVED , AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO APPROVE COUNCIL BILL
NO. 3 AND TO SET A PUBLIC HEARING ON FEBRUARY 5 , 2007 .
COUNCIL BILL NO . 3, INTRODUCED BY COUNCIL MEMBER TOMASSO
A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 7 , CHAPTER 1-A, OF THE ENGLEWOOD MUNICIPAL
CODE 2000, ENTITLED "DOGS AND CATS ".
Mayor Wolosyn said thank you and I would like to add that since recent discussion has focused on the
adequacy of the current law concerning vici ous dogs , we revisited this issue . Currently, a dog is declared
vicious if it has two convictions for aggressive behavior . There is concern that this is not an effective policy .
Counci l studied a recent ordinance enacted in Lafayette , as well as other ordinances and articles submitted by
citizen and Council and , after discussion , we gre d upon th languag of thi propo d ordinanc which
1nclud d f1nihon of v1c1ou dog long with prov, ion for own r hip of uch dog 1n Engl wood W I o
Englewood City Council
January 8, 2007
Page 17
added language , which was mentioned earlier in the meeting , to 7-1-A-2C regarding the definit ion of the dog
being under reasonable control. This section now also states that a dog in an unfenced yard, without a person
present, is not under reasonable control. And the proposed ordinance also adds a provision that makes
tethering unlawful , if a dog is left tethered, unattended on a cord or chain of less than four feet for more than an
hour . And as we said, we will have a Public Hearing to take more information on this .
Mayor Wolosyn asked if there was any discussion .
Council Member Barrentine said I have some concern . There were several community groups that have dealt
with th is on a nationwide , statewide level, doing legislation and I had proposed to them that some of their
ideas ... that they might go ahead ... run that past Dan . They had some questions about this ordinance and some
concerns and I thought it would be worthwhile to work with them ahead of time to be proactive and see what
their concerns were, especially since this is their forte . I came to find out that , specifically he had been told by
the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tern , that he was not allowed to discuss this with any outside group . I disapprove of
limiting any citizen's availability to bring their concerns ... and any method ... and I will be voting no against this ,
because I still haven't heard those concerns and I think that they have got a lot of expertise here . It shouldn't
have been ignored and it certainly shouldn't have been stunted .
Mayo.[ Wolosyn said I would like to say that I have had no conversation with the citizen . However, I do say that
at the meeting where we worked for two hours on this , I recommended to Council that it come to us in ord inance
form and have a Public Hearing, so that we can all hear the information and work on it and make any
adjustments we feel. .. all of us getting the information at the same time and I asked if Council concurred and
they said yes and I think that is how that information was forwarded to that person . I look forward to hearing
them at the Public Hearing .
Council Member Woodward said I just want to address that too . I think I certainly know who you are talk ing
about and the question was posed to me and it was posed to the City Attorney's office and the City Attorney's
office felt that, together with staff and their legal department , they had enough to write an initial ordinance and
the suggestion was that they should come forward at the Public Hearing or work with us . And I have worked
with this particular ind ividual qu ite a bit on th is and listened to her ... not totally agreeing with all of the points and
things that have been brought up by them . But , this particular citizen and others , I am certainly willing to listen
to , but I don 't think anybody ... Ms . Barrentine said while I respect that you had an opportunity to work with them ,
wh ich you have limited them from be ing able to do was to have an opportunity to work with staff and other
Council people . So , that is nice that you got to talk to them . I think it is inappropriate for us to prohibit staff from
be ing able to get addi ti onal information from people w ith an expertise in it. I th ink it was inappropriate.
Mayo r Wolosyn sa id I would like to say that I take responsibility fo r this . I made a decis ion and asked Counc il to
concur that we see this in o rd inance form, we see w hat we are pu tti ng forth and then all of us take publ ic inp ut
at the same time and move forward as we work on this , as we did for two hours . And I would like to end that
discussion , but I see Wayne wants to make a comment.
Council Member Oakley said I was going over the memos that Mike had forwarded to us and out of the sixteen
memos, as near as I could tell, only three of them were Englewood citizens . I would certainly like to hear more
from our citizens on this and less hype from some as far away as California .

very serious about this BID . They did close their bus inesses shortly after the meeting and try to make it home
during the blizzard .
3 . He said also I came back the Friday after Christmas . It was nice to reach Englewood where the streets
were plowed. Thanks Rick . There are a couple of snow potholes ... do I turn those over to you ... those really
deep ones?
{vi) Council Member Woodward said again I want to compl iment Rick and all of Public
Works and the other departments that worked . I know a lot of peop le slept a lot of hours at the Servicenter. I
can't imagine it is a very comfortable place to spend the night or day, but I think you have done a really , really
great job considering the conditions . I am real proud of what Englewood did. Thank you .
13 . City Manager's Report
{a) City Manager Sears said I would also like to just say thanks to Rick and his crews because they
did stay here . Also Mike Flaherty was here . I was out of town over the last couple of weeks. He made some
tough decisions and both he and Leigh Ann Hoffhines , I think , were very responsive to the citizens . I know Mike
did a great job, along with our Police Department that was out there on the streets doing things . We also had
seven water main breaks during that timeframe , so our water crews were also out. I really appreciate the work
and I get to work with a really good staff.
{b) City Manager Sears said we d id get the Colorado Business magazine. I sent you a copy of it.
That is the new one statewide with the new governor on the front and above the governor it says , "Who owns
Colorado? Englewood 's Upward Projection ". So I guess we kind of took a little bit of the thunder from the new
governor. Actually , it was really nice to , aga in , see some art icles abou t Economic Development in Englewood .
Mayor Wolosyn said thank you .
14 . City Attorney's Report
{a) City Attorney Brotzman said I do have one comment.. .back to the dog ordinance. On one of
the citizen 's comments , which were very well articulated and they were debated by Safety Services , the
prosecution staff, through my office and courts . The first one being the definition of attack . I personally don 't
like using the word "attack" in the definition . Th is is going to go forward as it is ... it will show up this way at the
Publ ic Hearing . I actually agree with t hat. The prosecutor's office actually advocated keeping it the same ,
because it has been that way and it tracks the State Statute . We went with the prosecutor's office reading and
interpretation on tha t. There was also a comment about bod ily injury and se r ious bod ily harm . Now those are
two fas ci na ti ng defin iti on s, becau se w hi le t hey are sti ll con ta ined in the ord inan ce , they are no longer
referenced . In previous drafts , there was "attack" and there was "vicious" animals. As you will now see , the
owner is responsible for an attack . They are responsible , it is not prohibited . The reason that that was changed
was that there was a fear when these were merged together ... and then the Lafayette ordinance, together with
the Englewood ordinance and through the various debates, what happened is there was a fear that "attack"
would be a lesser charge that you wouldn't have to meet all the conditions for . We removed the charge of
"attack" by dog . You have vicious dog , which eliminates the two pieces . There used to be "att ack by dog" and
"vicious dog". The "attack by dog" being a lesser charge ... meaning you would need bodily injury, not serious
bodily injury. The fear again was that the prosecutor's office would plead that down always to attack instead of
v ici ous . Thus you have two definitions that are no longer important, because you only have vicious dog with the
owner responsible now for any attack by a dog .
Mayor Wolosyn said I bel ieve this is what I was trying to get at when I was asking you how is a dog ...
City Attorney Brotzman said right , so the answer is th is is making sausage and we are seeing inside the casing .
Mayor Wolosyn said so Dan , are you going to bring up so me information that clarifies this? I think her point
about the redundancy of the use of the word "attack" was well taken , but I wasn't necessarily ready to accept
her replacement, becaus we did have discussions on just a menacing attitude and all of that that we also ...

City Attorney Brotzman said there is a simple change that you can make to that. I'll propose that. .. 1'11 give that
to you in memo form so that you can see it. I w ill also give you the prosecutor's reasoning on why it shouldn't
be changed .
Mayor Wolosyn said okay, I would appreciate that. He is going to give us a memo on what he just said .
Council Member Moore said I'm sorry. That probably would be helpful. I wasn't sure if you were saying we
could el iminate "bodily harm " ... "serious bodily harm". Mr. Brotzman said actually, as it is currently drafted, you
may. We left them in, in case you wanted to change back and put "attack" back in, but currently they have no
real use . Mr. Moore said on second reading, if we don't have any use for them, we could eliminate those two
definitions? Mr. Brotzman said we could eliminate those . Mr. Moore said thank you .
Mayor Wolosyn said you will give us a memo to that affect? Mr. Brotzman said sure.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Date: Agenda Item: Subject:
January 16, 2007 11 C ii Award Construction Contract for Big Dry Creek
Trail Improvements -Phase II
Initiated By: Staff Source:
Public Works Department Rick Kahm, Director
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
• Council approved Resolution No. 43, Series 2002, authorizing the City to apply for Federal
funds under the Transportation Equity Act for the 21" Century (TEA-21 ).
• Council approved Ordinance No. 60, Series 2003 approving an Intergovernmental
Agreement (IGA) with COOT regarding funding the project.
• Council approved a motion to award the Phase I segment of the project (Fox to Lehow) on
March 1, 2004.
• Council approved Ordinance No. 18, Series 2006 approving an IGA with Urban Drainage
and Flood Control District (UDFCD) regarding funding participation by the District.
• Council approved Ordinance No. 31, Series 2006 authorizing a contract with the South
Suburban Parks Foundation (SSPF) regarding their commitment to provide matching funds
for the project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that City Council award, by Motion, the construction of "Big Dry Creek Trail
Improvements Phase II-Broadway to Greenwood Point STE M395-009". The total estimated
project cost ($613,387.50} consists of a construction contract with Goodland Construction in the
amount of $518,387.50, a Professional Services Agreement with ASCG , Inc. in the amount of
$60,000, and a constru ction contingency in the amount of $35 ,000.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
In 2002, Englewood, on behalf of SSPF, applied to the Denver Regional Council of Governments
(DRCOG) for federal funds and agreed to be the "local project sponsor" for the section of Big Dry
Creek trail from Fox to Greenwood Point Oust east of Broadway ). The project was selected, and
Englewood received $600,000 in federal funds toward the total estimated construction cost of
$1,500,000.
The project was di ided into smaller segments to accommodate right-of-way issues matching funds
cash flow. Phase I (Fox to Lehow) was completed in 2004. Phase II (Broadway to Greenwood
Point) will onstru t 900 f et of trail under Broadway, beginning just west of Broadway and
t rminating ea t of Broadway at the Greenwood Point de elopment. The section between Lehow
and Broadway is on hold until easements are acquired from two I roperty O\ n rs .
The majority of our $600,000 of Federal Funds was exhausted during the construction of Phase I
and for the design of Phase II. Approximately $118,000 of the $600,000 in Federal Funds remain .
Urban Drainage has committed $50,000 towards the construction. Per our agreement with the
SSPF, they will provide the remaining matching funds. SSPF has confirmed that funds are available
and obligated for this segment.
SSPF consultant, ASCG, completed design of the project in October and the project was advertised
for construction bids.
Federal Aid projects required that the bidders be included on COOT list of pre-qualified contractors,
and that they met Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) goals, and that COOT concur in the
award of the project. COOT has determined that the low bidder, Sabells Enterprises, did not
demonstrate good faith effort to hire DBE subcontractors and was not listed on CDOT's list of pre-
qualified contractors. Based on the Federal criteria for hiring contractors, COOT will not concur
with awarding this contract to the low bidder. They have provided concurrence to award to the
second low bidder (see attached COOT letter).
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Six bids were received and opened on November 16, 2006 as detailed in the attached Bid
Tabulation . The Engineers estimate for the project is $571,777.00.
Detailed below are the costs associated with the construction of the project:

Construction Contingency
Total Estimated Cost
$518,387.50

Federal Participating funds are available in the amount of $118,000. Urban Drainage is contributing
$50,000 per our IGA (Ordinance No. 16, 2006). SSPF is contributing the remaining $445,387.50
per our agreement (Ordinance No. 31 , 2006 ).

RE: Proposal for Construction Related Services for Phase 2 , Big Dry Creek Trail-
Broadway to Greenwood Point.
Dear: Mr. Henderson:
ASCG Incorporated is pleased to provide the following proposal to the City of Englewood
(Client) for Construction Related Services for Phase 2 of the Big Dry Creek Trail
extension , as referenced above .
SCOPE OF WORK
Construction related services would include :
• Bidding Services , i ncluding Pre -Bid , Addenda , Bid Opening and Pre-Con
• Periodic observation of construction , estimated to be 20 hours per week for a
period of 14 weeks ;
• Rev iew of Submittals (by ASCG Inc , st ructural rev iews by Jorgense n & Close
unde r S u b c ontrac t)
• Providing clarifications of Construction Documents as needed;
• ROW Staking (by Western States Surveying under subcontract);
• Provide for materials testing (by CTL/Thompson under subcontract);
• Periodic Observation of weed control , revegetat ion operations (by The
Restoration Group under subcontract)
• Tracking compl eted work and approving periodic pay estimates;
• Assist with Change Order documentation and preparation as needed;
• Assist with documentation for compliance with Federal requirements ;
• Project Closeout, Final Pay Estimate, and Record Drawings .
125 W 8022
BUDGET
We have estimated the following budgets for the work :
Bidding Services
Periodic Construction Observation
Misc. Construction Services (office engineering)
Weed Control, Revegetation Observation (Deb Keammerer)
ROW Staking (by Western States Surveying)
Geotech Engr & Materials Testing (by CTL/Thompson)
Project Closeout per Federal/COOT Requirements
TOT AL, Estimated Construction Services (Standard)
$ 2,400
$30 ,700
$ 9 ,700
$ 5 ,000
$ 1,800
$ 5,000*
$ 5.400
$60,000*
* The above estimate assumes that a soil-anchored wall system will not be required,
based on test excavations completed during construction. However, if existing soil
conditions are found to warrant a soil-anchored wall system , then the costs for CTL
Thompson to observe installation of tiebacks , conduct proof load testing of tiebacks,
observe post-tensioning of tiebacks , and observe reinforced shotcrete wall installation is
estimated to be an additional $20,000, bringing the total construction services estimate
to $80,000.
The above estimates are based on a 120-day construction period with a well-qualified
Contractor and routine conditions (except as noted above). We will monitor ASCG costs
on a weekly basis. If unusual or unforeseen conditions arise, which require a more
intensive observation effort and more time to document and resolve , we will notify the
City so that adjustments in the budget or other measures can be considered .
Construction related services will be completed on an hourly basis in accordance w ith
the attac hed Rate Schedule (Append ix A) and billed on a monthly basis .

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Date: Agenda Item: Subject:
January 16, 2007 11 C ii Award Construction Contract for Big Dry Creek
Trail Improvements -Phase II
Initiated By: Staff Source:
Public Works Department Rick Kahm , Director
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
• Council approved Resolution No. 43, Series 2002, authorizing the City to apply for Federal
funds under the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 '1 Century (TEA-21 ).
• Council approv ed Ordinance No. 60, Series 2003 approving an Intergovernmental
Agreement (IGA) with CDOT regarding funding the project.
• Council approved a motion to award the Phase I segment of the project (Fox to Lehow) on
March 1, 2004.
• Council approved Ordinance No. 18, Series 2006 approving an IGA with Urban Drainage
and Flood Control District (UDFCD) regarding funding participation by the District.
• Council approved Ordinance No. 31 , Series 2006 authorizing a contract with the South
Suburban Parks Foundation (SSPF ) regarding thei r comm itment to provide matching funds
for the project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that City Council award, by Motion, the construction of "Big Dry Creek Trail
Improvements Phase II-Broadway to Greenwood Point STE M395-009". The total estimated
project cost ($613 ,387.50) consists of a c onstruction contrac t with Goodland Construction in the
amount of $518,387.5 0, a Professional Servi c es Agreement with ASCG , Inc. i n the amount of
$60,000, and a c o ns tr uction c ontingen cy in the amount of $35,000.
BA CKGROUND, ANALY SIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFI ED
In 2002, Englewood, on behalf of SSPF, applied to the Denver Regional Council of Governments
(DRCOG) for federal funds and agreed to be the "local project sponsor" for the section of Big Dry
Creek trail from Fox to Greenwood Poin t Uus t eas t of Broadway). The p roject was selected, and
Eng lewood received $600,000 in federal funds t oward the tota l estimate d construction cost of
$1,500,000.
The project was divided into smaller segments to accommodate right-of-way issues matching funds
cash flow. Phase I (Fox to Lehow) was completed in 2004. Phase II (Broadway to Greenwood
Point) will construct 900 feet of trail under Broadway, beginning just west of Broadway and
terminating east of Broadway at the Greenwood Point development. The section between Lehow
and Broadway is on hold until easements are acquired from two property owners.
The majority of our $600,000 of Federal Funds was exhausted during the construction of Phase I
and for the design of Phase II. Approximately $118,000 of the $600,000 in Federal Funds remain .
Urban Drainage has committed $50,000 towards the construction. Per our agreement with the
SSPF, they will provide the remaining matching funds. SSPF has confirmed that funds are av ailable
and obligated for this segment.
SSPF consultant, ASCG, completed design of the project in October and the project was advertised
for construction bids.
Federal Aid projects required that the bidders be included on COOT list of pre-qualified contractors,
and that they met Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) goals, and that COOT concur in the
award of the project. COOT has determined that the low bidder, Sabells Enterprises , did not
demonstrate good faith effort to hire DBE subcontractors and was not listed on CDOT's list of pre-
qualified contractors. Based on the Federal criteria for hiring contractors, COOT will not concur
with awarding this contract to the low bidder. They have provided concurrence to award to the
second low bidder (see attached COOT letter).
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Six bids were received and opened on November 16, 2006 as detailed in the attached Bid
Tabulation . The Engineers estimate for the project is $571,777.00.
Detailed below are the costs associated w ith the construction of the project:
Goodland Construction, Inc.
Construction Administration (ASCG)
Construction Contingency
Total Estimated Cost
$518,387.50
60,000.00
35.000.00
$613,387.50
Federal Participating funds are available in the amount of $118,000. Urban Drainage is c ontributing
$50,000 per our IGA (Ordinance No. 16, 2 006). SSPF is contributing the remaining $445,387.50
per our agre em ent ( Ordinan c e No. 3 1, 2006 ).

* The above estimate assumes that a soil-anchored wall system will not be required,
based on test excavations completed during construction . However, if existing soil

estimated to be an additional $20,000, bringing the total construction services estimate
to $80,000.

Contractor and routine conditions (except as noted above). We will monitor ASCG costs

• Council approved Ordinance No. 31 , Series 2006 authorizing a contract with the South
Suburban Parks Foundation (SSPF) regarding their comm itment to provide matching funds
for the project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that City Council award, by Motion, the construction of "Big Dry Creek Trail
Improvements Phase II-Broadway to Greenwood Point STE M395-009". The total estimated
project cost ($613 ,38 7.50) consists of a construction contract with Goodland Construction in the
amount of $518,387.50, a Professional Services Agreement with ASCG , Inc. in the amount of
$60,000, and a constru c tion c ontingency in the amount of $3 5,000.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS , AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
In 2002, Englewood, on behalf of SSPF, applied to the Denver Regional Council of Governments
(DRCOG) for federal funds and agreed to be t he "local project sponsor " for the section of Big Dry
Creek trail from Fox to Greenwood Poin t (jus t eas t of Br oadway). The p roject was se lec ted, and
Englewood received $600,000 in federal fu nd s towa rd th e total es timated cons tru c tio n cos t of
$1 ,500,000.
The project was divided into smaller segments to accommoda te right-of-way issues matching funds
cas h flow. Phase I (Fox to Lehow) was comp leted in 2004. Phase II (Broadway to Greenwood
Poin t) will cons tru c t 900 feet of trail under Broadway, beginning just west of Broadway and
terminat ing eas t of Broadway at the Greenwood Point development. The section between Lehow
and Broadway is on hold until easemen ts are acquired from two property owners.
The majority of our $600,000 of Federal Funds was exhausted during the construction of Phase I
and for the design of Phase II. Approximately $118,000 of the $600,000 in Federal Funds remain.
Urban Drainage has committed $50,000 towards the construction. Per our agreement with the
SSPF, they will provide the remaining matching funds . SSPF has confirmed that funds are available
and obligated for this segment.
SSPF consultant, ASCG, completed design of the project in October and the project was advertised
for construction bids.
Federal Aid projects required that the bidders be included on COOT list of pre-qualified contractors,
and that they met Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) goals, and that COOT concur in the
award of the project. COOT has determined that the low bidder, Sabells Enterprises, did not
demonstrate good faith effort to hire DBE subcontractors and was not listed on CDOT's list of pre-
qualified contractors. Based on the Federal criteria for hiring contractors, COOT will not concur
with awarding this contract to the low bidder. They have provided concurrence to award to the
second low bidder (see attached COOT letter).
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Six bids were received and opened on November 16, 2006 as detailed in the attached Bid
Tabulation. The Engineers estimate for the project is $571,777.00.
Detailed below are the costs associated with the construction of the project:

RE: Proposal for Construction Related Services for Phase 2, Big Dry Creek Trail-
Broadway to Greenwood Point.
Dear: Mr. Henderson:
ASCG Incorporated is pleased to provide the following proposal to the City of Englewood
(Client) for Construction Related Services for Phase 2 of the Big Dry Creek Trail
extension , as referenced above .
SCOPE OF WORK
Construction related services would include :
• Bidding Services , including Pre-B id , Addenda , Bid Opening and Pre -Con
• Periodic observation of construct ion , estimated to be 20 hou rs pe r week for a
period of 14 weeks ;
• Rev iew of Submittals (by ASCG In c, stru c tural reviews by Jo rgensen & C lo s e
under Subc ontract)
• Providing clari fications of Construction Documents as needed ;
• ROW Staking (by Western States Surveying under subcontract);
• Provide for materials testing (by CTL/Thompson under subcontract);
• Periodic Observation of weed control , revegetation operations (by The
Restoration Group under subcontract)
• Tracking compl eted work and approving periodic pay estimates ;
• Assist with Change Order documentation and preparation as needed;
• Assist with documentation for compliance with Federal requirements ;
• Project Closeout, Final Pay Estimate, and Record Drawings .
125
BUDGET
We have estimated the following budgets for the work :
Bidding Services
Periodic Construction Observation
Misc. Construction Services (office engineering)
Weed Control, Revegetation Observation (Deb Keammerer)
ROW Staking (by Western States Surveying)
Geotech Engr & Materials Testing (by CTL/Thompson)
Project Closeout per Federal/COOT Requirements
TOT AL, Estimated Construction Services (Standard)
$ 2,400
$30,700
$ 9,700
$ 5,000
$ 1,800
$ 5 ,000*
$ 5,400
$60,000*
* The above estimate assumes that a soil-anchored wall system will not be required ,
based on test excavations completed during construction. However, if existing soil
conditions are found to warrant a soil-anchored wall system , then the costs for CTL
Thompson to observe installation of tiebacks, conduct proof load testing of tiebacks,
observe post-tensioning of tiebacks, and observe reinforced shotcrete wall installation is
estimated to be an additional $20,000, bringing the total construction services estimate
to $80,000.
The above estimates are based on a 120-day construction period with a well-qualified
Contractor and routine conditions (except as noted above). We will monitor ASCG costs
on a weekly basis . If unusual or unforeseen conditions arise , which require a more
intensive observation effort and more time to document and resolve, we will notify the
City so that adjustments in the budget or other measures can be considered.
Construction related services will be completed on an hourly basis in accordance with
the attached Rate Schedule (Appendix A) and billed on a monthly basis .

ASCG , Incorporated

RE: Proposal for Construction Related Services for Phase 2, Big Dry Creek Trail-
Broadway to Greenwood Point.
Dear: Mr. Henderson :
ASCG Incorporated is pleased to provide the following proposal to the City of Englewood
(Client) for Construction Related Services for Phase 2 of the Big Dry Creek Trail
extension , as referenced above .
SCOPE OF WORK
Construction related services would include :
• Bidding Services , including Pre -B id , Addenda, Bid Opening and Pre -Con
• Periodic observation of construction , esti mated to be 20 hours per week for a
period of 14 weeks ;
• Rev iew of Submittals (by ASCG Inc , structural reviews by Jorgen sen & Close
under Subcontract)
• Providing clarifications of Construction Documents as needed;
• ROW Staking (by Western States Surveying under subcontract);
• Provide for materials testing (by CTL/Thompson under subcontract);
• Periodic Observation of weed control, revegetation operations (by The
Restoration Grou p under subcontract )

ax 303 480 97
BUDGET
We have estimated the following budgets for the work :
Bidding Services
Periodic Construction Observation
Misc. Construction Services (office engineering)
Weed Control , Revegetation Observation (Deb Keammerer)
ROW Staking (by Western States Surveying)
Geotech Engr & Materials Testing (by CTL/Thompson)
Project Closeout per Federal/COOT Requirements
TOT AL, Estimated Construction Services (Standard)
$ 2 ,400
$30,700
$ 9 ,700
$ 5,000
$ 1,800
$ 5 ,000*
$ 5.400
$60,000*
• The above estimate assumes that a soil-anchored wall system will not be required,
based on test excavations completed during construction. However, if existing soil
conditions are found to warrant a soil-anchored wall system, then the costs for CTL
Thompson to observe installation of tiebacks, conduct proof load testing of tiebacks ,
observe post-tensioning of tiebacks , and observe reinforced shotcrete wall installation is
estimated to be an additional $20,000, bringing the total construction services estimate
to $80,000.
The above estimates are based on a 120-day construction period with a well-qualified
Contractor and routine conditions (except as noted above). We will monitor ASCG costs
on a weekly basis. If unusual or unforeseen conditions arise, which require a more
intensive observation effort and more time to document and resolve, we will notify the
C ity so that adjustments in the budget or other measures can be considered .
Construction related services will be completed on an hourly basis in accordance with
the attached Rate Schedule (Appendix A) and billed on a monthly basis.
Sincerely,
ASCG , Incorporated

Suburban Parks Foundation (SSPF) regarding their commitment to provide matching funds
for the project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that City Council award, by Motion, the construction of "Big Dry Creek Tr~il
Improvements Phase II-Broadway to Greenwood Point STE M395-009". The total estimat d
project cost ($613 ,387.50) consists of a construction contract with Goodland Construction in th
amount of $518,387.50, a Professional Services Agreement with ASCG , Inc. in the amount of
$60,000, and a construction contingency in the amount of $35 ,000.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS , AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
In 2002, Englewood, on behalf of SSPF, applied to the Denver Regional Council of Go mm nt
(DRCOG) for federal funds and agreed to be the "local project sponsor" for the s tion of Bi Dry
Creek trail from Fox to Greenwood Point Oust east of Broadway). The project wa I t d, nd
Englewood received $600,000 in federal funds toward the total estima t ed co n tru t f
$1 ,5 00,000.
The project was divided into smaller segments to accommodate right-of-way I u m I hing und
ca h flow. Phase I (Fox to Lehow) was completed in 2004. Phase II (Bro dw I Gr nw d
Poi nt) will onstru t 900 f t of trail under Broadway, beginning ju t w t of Br dv, nd
t rminating east of Bro d ay at the Greenwood Point de elopm nt. Th t n b M n h w
nd Br oad-. a is on hold until s ments ar cqui r d from two prop rty \.'n r .
The majority of our $600,000 of Federal Funds was exhausted during the construction of Phase I
and for the design of Phase II. Approximately $118,000 of the $600,000 in Federal Funds remain.
Urban Drainage has committed $50,000 towards the construction . Per our agreement with the
SSPF, they will provide the remaining matching funds. SSPF has confirmed that funds are available
and obligated for this segment.
SSPF consultant, ASCG , completed design of the project in October and the project was advertised
for construction bids .
Federal Aid projects required that the bidders be included on COOT list of pre-qualified contractors,
and that they met Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) goals, and that COOT concur in the
award of the project. COOT has determined that the low bidder, Sabells Enterprises, did not
demonstrate good faith effort to hire DBE subcontractors and was not listed on CDOT's list of pre-
qualified contractors. Based on the Federal criteria for hiring contractors, COOT will not concur
with awarding this contract to the low bidder. They have provided concurrence to award to the
second low bidder (see attached COOT letter).
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Six bids were received and opened on November 16, 2006 as detailed in the attached Bid
Tabulation. The Engineers estimate for the project is $571,777.00.
Detailed below are the costs associated with the construction of the project:
Goodland Construction, Inc.

Construction Contingency
Total Estimated Cost
$518,387.50
60,000.00
35.000.00
$613,387.50
Federal Participating funds are available in the amount of $118,000. Urban Drainage is contributing
$50,000 per our IGA (Ordinance No. 16, 2006). SSPF is contributing the remaining $445,387.50
per our agreement (Ordinance No. 31 , 2 006 ).

Broadway to Greenwood Point.
Dear: Mr. Henderson :

(Client) for Construction Related SeNices for Phase 2 of the Big Dry Creek Trail
extens ion , as referenced above.
SCOPE OF WORK
Construction related seNices would include :
• Bidding Services , includ ing Pre-Bid , Addenda , Bid Opening and Pre -Con
• Periodic obseNation of construction , estimated to be 20 hours per week for a
period of 14 weeks ;
• Review of Subm ittals (by ASCG In c, stru ctu ral reviews by Jorg ensen & Clos e
un de r Subcontract)
• Providing clarifications of Construction Documents as needed ;

125 228
BUDGET
We have estimated the following budgets for the work:
Bidding Services
Periodic Construction Observation
Misc. Construction Serv ices (office engineering)
Weed Control, Revegetation Observation (Deb Keammerer)
ROW Staking (by Western States Surveying)
Geotech Engr & Materials Testing (by CTL/fhompson)
Project Closeout per Federal/COOT Requirements
TOT AL, Estimated Construction Services (Standard)
$ 2,400
$30,700
$ 9 ,700
$ 5,000
$ 1,800
$ 5,000*
$ 5,400
$60,000*
* The above estimate assumes that a soil-anchored wall system will not be required ,
based on test excavations completed during construction. However, if existing soil
conditions are found to warrant a soil-anchored wall system , then the costs for CTL
Thompson to observe installation of tiebacks , conduct proof load testing of tiebacks,
observe post-tensioning of tiebacks , and observe reinforced shotcrete wall installation is
estimated to be an additional $20,000, bringing the total construction services estimate
to $80,000.
The above estimates are based on a 120-day construction period with a well-qualified
Contractor and routine conditions (except as noted above). We will monitor ASCG costs
on a weekly basis . If unusual or unforeseen conditions arise , which require a more
intensive observation effort and more time to document and resolve , we will notify the
City so that adjustments in the budget or other measures can be considered.
Construction related services will be completed on an hourly basis in accordance with
the attached Rate Schedule (Appendix A ) a nd billed on a monthly bas is .

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Date: Agenda Item: Subject:
January 16, 2007 11 C ii Award Construction Contract for Big Dry Creek
Trail Improvements -Phase II
Initiated By: Staff Source:
Public Works Department Rick Kahm, Director
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
• Council approved Resolution No. 43, Series 2002, authorizing the City to apply for Federal
funds under the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 '1 Century (TEA-21 ).
• Council approved Ordinance No. 60, Series 2003 approving an Intergovernmental
Agreement (IGA) with CDOT regarding funding the project.
• Council approved a motion to award the Phase I segment of the project (Fox to Lehow) on
March 1, 2004.
• Council approved Ordinance No. 18, Series 2006 approving an IGA with Urban Drainage
and Flood Control District (UDFCD) regarding funding participation by the District.
• Council approved Ordinance No. 31 , Series 2006 authorizing a contract with the South
Suburban Parks Foundation (SSPF) regarding their commitment to provide matching funds
for the project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that City Council award, by Motion, the construction of "Big Dry Creek Trail
Improvements Phase II-Broadway to Greenwood Point STE M395-009". The total estimated
project cost ($613,387.50) consists of a construction contract with Goodland Construction in the
amount of $518,3 87.50, a Professional Services Agreement with ASCG , Inc. in the amount of
$60,000, and a co nstruction contingency in the amount of $35,000.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
In 2002, Englewood, on behalf of SSPF, applied to the Denver Regional Council of Governments
(DRCOG) for federal funds and agreed to be the "local project sponsor" for the section of Big Dry
Creek trail from Fox to Greenwood Point Oust east of Broadway). The project was selected, and
Englewood received $600,000 in federal funds toward the total estimated construction cost of
$1 ,500,000.
The project was di ided into smaller segments to accommodate right-of-way issues matching funds
cash flow. Phase I (Fo to Lehow) was completed in 2004. Phase II (Broadway to Greenwood
Point) will onstru t 900 feet of trail under Broadway, beginning just west of Broadway and
t rminating east of Broadway at the Greenwood Point development. The section between Lehow
and Broadwa is on hold until easements are acquired from two property owners.
The majority of our $600,000 of Federal Funds was exhausted during the construction of Phase I
and for the design of Phase II. Approximately $118,000 of the $600,000 in Federal Funds remain.
Urban Drainage has committed $50,000 towards the construction. Per our agreement with the
SSPF, they will provide the remaining matching funds. SSPF has confirmed that funds are available
and obligated for this segment.
SSPF consultant, ASCG, completed design of the project in October and the project was advertised
for construction bids.
Federal Aid projects required that the bidders be included on COOT list of pre-qualified contractors,
and that they met Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) goals, and that COOT concur in the
award of the project. COOT has determined that the low bidder, Sabells Enterprises, did not
demonstrate good faith effort to hire DBE subcontractors and was not listed on CDOT's list of pre-
qualified contractors. Based on the Federal criteria for hiring contractors, COOT will not concur
with awarding this contract to the low bidder. They have provided concurrence to award to the
second low bidder (see attached COOT letter).
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Six bids were received and opened on November 16, 2006 as detailed in the attached Bid
Tabulation. The Engineers estimate for the project is $571,777.00.
Detailed below are the costs associated with the construction of the project:
Goodland Construction, Inc.
Construction Administration (ASCG)
Construction Contingency
Total Estimated Cost
$518,387.50
60,000.00
35,000.00
$613,387.50
Federal Participating funds are available in the amount of $118,000. Urban Drainage is contributing
$50,000 per our IGA (Ordinance No. 16, 2006). SSPF is contributing the remaining $445 ,3 87.50
per our agreement (Ordinance No. 31, 2006 ).

$60,000, and a construction c ontingency in the amount of $35 ,000.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
In 2002, Englewood, on beha lf of SS PF, applied to the Denver Regional Co uncil of Governments
(DRCOG) for federal funds and agreed to be the "local project sponsor" for the section of Big D ry
Creek trail from Fox to Greenwood Point Uu st eas t of Broa dw ay). Th e p rojec t was se lec ted, and
Englewood receive d $600,000 in fe deral fun ds toward th e to tal est im ated cons tru c tio n co st of
$1 ,5 00,000.
The proje t was divided into smaller segments to accommodate right-of-way issues matching funds
ca sh flow. Phase I (Fox to Le h ow) was completed in 2004. Phase II (Broadway to Greenwood
Poi nt) will o ns tru t 900 feet of trail under Broadway, beginning just west of Broadway and
terminating a t of Broadway at the Greenwood Point development. The section between Lehow
and Br ad a i o n h Id until easements are acquired from two property owners.
The majority of our $600,000 of Federal Funds was exhausted during the construction of Phase I
and for the design of Phase II. Approximately $118,000 of the $600,000 in Federal Funds remain .
Urban Drainage has committed $50,000 towards the construction. Per our agreement with the
SSPF, they will provide the remaining matching funds. SSPF has confirmed that funds are available
and obligated for this segment.
SSPF consultant, ASCG, completed design of the project in October and the project was adv ertised
for construction bids .
Federal Aid projects required that the bidders be included on COOT list of pre-qualified contractors,
and that they met Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) goals, and that COOT concur in the
award of the project. CDOT has determined that the low bidder, Sabells Enterprises , did not
demonstrate good faith effort to hire DBE subcontractors and was not listed on CDOT's list of pre-
qualified contractors. Based on the Federal criteria for hiring contractors, COOT will not concur
with awarding this contract to the low bidder. They have provided concurrence to award to the
second low bidder (see attached CDOT letter).
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Six bids were received and opened on November 16, 2006 as detailed in the attached Bid
Tabulation . The Engineers estimate for the project is $571 ,777.00.

BUDGET
We have estimated the following budgets for the work :
Bidding Services
Periodic Construction Observation
Misc . Construction Services (office engineering)
Weed Control, Revegetation Observation (Deb Keammerer)
ROW Staking (by Western States Surveying)
Geotech Engr & Materials Testing (by CTL/Thompson)
Project Closeout per Federal/COOT Requirements
TOT AL, Estimated Construction Services (Standard)
$ 2,400
$30,700
$ 9,700
$ 5,000
$ 1,800
$ 5,000*
$ 5,400
$60,000*
* The above estimate assumes that a soil-anchored wall system will not be required ,
based on test excavations completed during construction. However, if existing soil
conditions are found to warrant a soil-anchored wall system , then the costs for CTL
Thompson to observe installation of tiebacks , conduct proof load testing of tiebacks,
observe post-tensioning of tiebacks, and observe reinforced shotcrete wall installation is
estimated to be an additional $20,000, bringing the total construction services estimate
to $80,000.
The above est imates are based on a 120-day construction period with a well-qualified
Contractor and routine conditions (except as noted above). We will monitor ASCG costs
on a weekly basis. If unusual or unforeseen conditions arise, which require a more
intensive observation effort and more time to document and resolve, we will notify the
City so that adjustments in the budget or other measures can be considered .
Construction related services will be completed on an hourly basis i n accordance with
the attached Rate Schedule (Appendix A) and billed on a monthly basis .
Sincerely,
ASCG , Incorporated
