Louisville City Council Meeting September 2, 2003 Page 4 of 9 AUTHORIZE PAYMENT TO BOULDER COUNTY PURSUANT TO MAYHOFFER SECTION 15 INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT Davidson called for Staff presentation. Finance Director Charlene Laus reviewed the Mayhoffer Section 15 Intergovernmental Agreement between the Cities of Louisville, Lafayette, and Boulder County. The agreement states the City of Louisville will purchase an undivided 25% fee interest in the Mayhoffer Section 15 property from the County within three (3) months after receiving payment from the Northwest Parkway Authority that is expected in 2008. The initial cost of the City's share of this property was $751,592 and the agreement includes a 5% per annum price escalation. The purchase price in 2008 is $1,057,566, however the City has the option of making an early purchase of this property at significantly lower cost price. According to the schedule, the 2003 purchase price is $828,630. Current estimates after this purchase are that the Conservation - Land Acquisition Fund will end the year with approximately $1.57 million available for other purchases. COUNCIL COMMENTS Davidson stated the Finance Committee reviewed this matter and favors an early payoff. MOTION: Davidson moved that Council authorize payment to Boulder County in the amount of $828,630 for the Mayhoffer Section 15 Intergovernmental Agreement, seconded by Sisk. All in favor. APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR HIGHWAY 42/96TH STREET PROJECT Davidson called for Staff presentation. Public Works Director Tom Phare reported the City and Wilson & Company have worked closely with the Burlington Northern Sante FE (BNSF) railroad to develop a railroad bridge design that would meet with their approval, and could be incorporated into Railroad Crossing Agreement with the BNSF. This process led to two-pier bridge design, which was formally presented and accepted by BNSF. Wilson & Company proceeded with final design of the bridge structure. In making their final review of the bridge design, BNSF notified Wilson & Company they would need additional clearances between piers to accommodate future tracking needs. Because all aspects of the bridge design were completed at the time of notification, a significant amount of redesign is required. Wilson & Company is requesting $67,000 on a time and materials basis to complete this design effort and anticipates it will take 4 to 5 weeks to complete. Phare noted earlier this summer Staff directed Wilson & Company to redesign the segment of South 96th Street, extending from Paradise Lane to Dillon Road. They agreed to complete this work on time and materials basis in an amount not to exceed $20,000. 4
