City Council Meeting Minutes March 5, 2019 Page 6 of 13 Councilmember Leh reiterated the project may need to be split into phases. It might be good to have a bid process but it might effectively prevent the volunteer project. The volunteer project should at least be evaluated Mayor Muckle stated he likes the idea of the volunteer project but it is paramount to save the buildings He would like to see it completed this year He could support a phased approach with grading, foundation, moving and setting separate from the rehabilitation. Historic Boulder may be able to help with the project facilitation. Councilmember Stolzmann asked if the cabins are currently palletized Director Zuccaro stated they are sitting on blocks and do have internal bracing We think they are stable where they are but they have to be protected with Tyvek and tarps. Mayor Muckle asked if they need more stabilization before moving Director Zuccaro stated a structural engineer would need to tell us. Mayor Muckle suggested asking staff to prepare a phased approach with grading, moving, and setting in one phase and rehabilitation split out. He was open to getting them moved and stable and then allowing thevolunteers to do the rehab Councilmember Loo asked if it will cost more to split it into phases. Director Zuccaro noted the alteration certificate would be required for rehabilitation, so it may create some efficiencies to have it all together and require contractor to use volunteers for the last phase He noted this will require more staff management. Staff doesn't want to be managing a construction project, we aren't set up for it, nor do we have the expertise Mayor Pro Tem Lipton agreed with Mayor's suggestion to split phase three but bring back the RFP for consideration MOTION Mayor Pro Tem moved to split phase three into grading, moving, and setting the cabins on foundations as the first part and rehabilitation as the second part and that the location be Miners Field Mayor Muckle seconded Director Zuccaro asked for clarification on in which phase the stabilization would be, with setting the cabins or with rehabilitation Mayor Pro Tem Lipton stated stabilization should be in the initial phase along with drawings and getting building permits. It needs to be safe and then volunteers can take over for the rehabilitation Chuck Thomas stated the committee is prepared to take on the entire project including the professionals or just the rehabilitation part. The anticipation was that the insurance issues are for the professional services and those professionals would be using their own insurance to cover those things
