Recommendations:
•Option C is not viable without substantial additional funds
•Option A resolves our ice and mechanical/electrical issues but falls short of the vision
•Option B restores and enhances Dobson as Vail’s key Recreation and Events venue for
the next 40 years
We are seeking permission to take the following next steps:
•Finalize the Program Option Choice with your Approval
•Move to Design Development Phase
•Start the PEC and DRB entitlement Process
•Meet Again with the Building and Fire to Confirm Progress
•Start the Preconstruction Process in Earnest and Conduct Additional Investigations to
Refine Design, Budget and Schedule
