A special meeting of the Vail Town Council was called on Tuesday, May 12th,
1981. at 2:00 p.m. All Council members were present except for Bud Benedict.
The purpose of the meeting was to approve Resolution #13, Series of 1981, A
resolution approving the Hyder Construction Company Contract for construction
of the Auxiliary Building in the Lionshead Parking Structure.
Richard Caplan, Vail Town Manager, stated that the project was not to exceed
$488,800. and is within the budgeted amount. He stated that the Town would
probably end up saving approximately $60,000. - $70,000.on the parking
structure building itself. The contract for that was $5,955,000 and
it was estimated to be a minimum of $60,000 and maybe as much as $802000. -
$90,000. in savings. Mr. Caplan stated there was a problem on the bottom
floor on the west end of the parking structure where there is.some settlement.
He stated that appropriate compaction tests were done and there is no
explanation at the present time as to where the problem is. He said testing
would be done on it to find the problem - it might be relatively minor and
hopefully can be taken care of relatively easily.
H�r Construction will plan to start the beginning of June and complete the
p ect by the end of October.
Mr. Caplan stated that there are no signed tenants for the Auxiliary Building
as yet. There has been communication with the Colorado Children's Musuem
_regarding the use of a portion of the mezzanine -on atrial basis. There
are two definitely interested sandwich -type places. One being Rat & Willy's
which is a current tenant in the Vail Transportation Center and one other
group of individuals in town. The Town should have their final proposals
by the end of the week.
Ron Todd asked what minor things had been taken out of the contract. Mr.
Caplan stated that the final square footage was just under 6,000, which is
approximately 4400-4500 square feet on the first floor and about 1500 sq.
feet on the mezzanine.
Bob Ruder asked what Hyder Construction was saying in regards to their
strike. Rich Caplan stated that the Town could accept the contract with
the understanding that work beginning no later than July 1 and be done by
the end of October, 1981. Ron Todd stated that it should be understood that
thi time table overrides that stated in the contract.
MACaplan stated that he had been in contact with the Postal Service and
they were interested in putting some kind of postal services in the structure.
Letters have been sent to all national rental car agencies but no response
has been received.
The two things of sensitive deletion are the wood between the beams which will
now be panelling and a brick the for the interior floor which will now be of
a concrete.
Bill Wilto stated that the Council should still keep in its mind moving
the location of the Ski Museum to the Auxiliary Building.
A motion was made by Tom Steinberg to approve Resolution #13, Series of 1981,
as amended. A second was made by Ron Todd. All voted in favor and the
resolution passed unanimously.
As there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 2:15 p.m.
