Ed Cannon, Town Manager
And Town Management Team
Town of Fraser
P.O. Box 370
153 Fraser Avenue,
Fraser, Colorado 80442
RE: Proposal for Water System Model Updates - Revised
Dear Ed and Town Management Team:
Merrick & Company (Merrick) is pleased to present this revised proposal to update the existing
WaterGems Model to reflect the current water system for the Town of Fraser (Town). Revisions were
made to better meet the Town's expectations for scope and budget. Deletions are shown in
strikethrough. It is anticipated that this work could be completed under our ongoing services
agreement with the Town.
Purpose and Background
It is Merrick's understanding that the Town desires to have a working water model for use in ongoing
evaluations of water -asset interests, including new development reviews, improvements to aging
infrastructure, and responding to water system questions. It appears that the existing water
distribution system model was created in 2007 as part of the 2008 Water Supply Master Study
(Brown & Caldwell). Since the completion of that effort, the model has been updated once in 2020
as part of the Water Distribution Master Plan (Bowman Consulting). The 2020 update was limited in
scope to the areas of Byers Peak Ranch, Pole Yard, and Grand Park as part of an evaluation for
future storage tanks.
Based on our review of the existing model, it appears that the bulk of the existing data in the model,
including the heart of the Town of Fraser, has not been updated since 2007 and that the entire model
has not been verified/re-calibrated in over 15 years. The scope of work recommended in this
proposal will bring the outdated model into present-day conditions, once again making it a useful
and reliable tool for the Town. The proposed scope of services are detailed on the following pages.
Employee Owned
hello@merrick.com
www.merrick.com
Scope of Services
Task 1 — General Project Management and Meetings
Three virtual meetings with Town staff with one for the kickoff, one meeting during development of
the model, and one meeting for review after the model is complete. Each meeting is assumed to last
one hour and will include a meeting summary as the deliverable.
During the kickoff meeting we will confirm the project scope, key tasks, and deliverables. This
discussion with confirm which water districts to include in the model, which developments, which
possible annexations, and to determine on an appropriate level of detail.
Merrick will issue a monthly report of project activities and an invoice to the Town.
Task 2 — Existing Data Collection and Coordination
Merrick will request the following information from the Town
• Most current GIS maps of the water system, to include both the North and South systems,
• Maps of development areas for planned construction, that include either the number of
project lots or number of projected SFEs,
• Zoning information (to confirm fire flow requirements at the taps),
• Drawings or narrative information for areas in which pipe replacement has occurred between
2006 to the present, and
• Briefing and introductions on proposed interconnect agreements between Winter Park Ranch
and Grand County tt1.
As part of the effort to add interconnects for Winter Park Ranch and Grand County tt1 into the model,
Merrick will coordinate with both districts to dctcrminc a location for ach District and ensure thc
correct information about flows and pressures is included at these interconnect points.
Task 3 — Model Calibration
This task includes verifying the model for current conditions to reflect observed flows and pressures
in the field. Verification will evaluate the calibration values found in 2007 based on 2023 hydrant
tests and evaluation of pipeline coefficients.
• This task will include two hydrant tests: one for the North System and one for the South
System. It is assumed that Merrick and Town Staff will determine which hydrants are most
representative of the systems and that the Town will conduct the test. It is assumed that the
Town will provide a hydrant meter, back flow preventer, and a flow meter. Merrick will
observe the test.
• Individual roughness coefficients for pipe materials for each system will be reviewed and
perhaps modified depending on the hydrant testing results. Roughness coefficient values
may also vary based on old or new pipe elements.
• The deliverable will include a technical mcmorandum to documcnt thc calibration.
2
Task 4— Model Update and Scenario Runs
Update of the model to reflect 2022 existing conditions. The model update will include the following
development tasks:
• Creating a new scenario for existing 2022 conditions based on the 2020 Bowman scenarios
for storage tanks. These will include average day, maximum day, maximum day + fire flow,
and peak hour demand event scenarios.
• Updating infrastructure for 2022 conditions to reflect new, replaced, and abandoned
infrastructure elements, which includes and may not be limited to:
o Adding linework, elevations, pipe characteristics,
o Revising the active elements, and
o Reviewing connectivity and impacts to model results.
• Updating demands for 2022 conditions to reflect the total number of taps, tap locations for
the North and South systems, and fire flow requirements at each tap based on updated
zoning information.
• Adding thc proposed intcrconnccts and demands to represent thc connection with Winter
Park Ranch and Grand County It1. We will run scenarios to understand how thc Town may
bc impacted by both intcrconnccts.
For this proposal, we have assumed that we will deliver a technical memorandum summary of
updates reflected in the 2023 model, a PDF exhibit of the final model buildout, and the 2023 compiled
WaterGems map package. Draft versions before the final meeting will be shared electronically for
review and comments ahead of meetings.
Qua-esti-0-ns
Merrick proposes that futurc dcvclopmcnt proposals submittcd for deign rcvicw bc modeled in
relation to thc entire systcm. Frequently a new dcvclopmcnt may cause off site deficiencies in
existing infrastructure such as failure to meet fire flow, watcr storage tank draining, or pipc conditions
that do not mcct Town standards for velocity. Mcrrick with consult Baseline and thc Town to
reviews will include a statement showing compliance with required prc-cures and an exhibit of thc
development in relation to the rest of the system.
distribution system. Questions about dead ends and looping, impact of proposed annexations, or set
point on PRVs could be modeled.
Merrick proposes a time & materials budget line item not to exceed $10,000. A simple development
review model is anticipated to require four to six hours to analyze, for example. A more complex
dcvclopmcnt rcvicw that causes off site effects is anticipatcd to require cight or morc hours to
analyze.
3
Assumptions
This work does not include the following:
• Modeling of raw water supply wells and pumps, and raw water transmission piping.
• Survey to obtain elevations for assets.
• Any updates or review of the booster pump stations.
• Re-evaluation of typical demand values on a per tap basis. Average demands per tap, as
well as maximum day and peak hour peaking factors, will reflect the values derived and used
in the original 2008 Brown & Caldwell Water Supply Master Study.
• Merrick assumes the information represented in the WaterGems model updated by Bowman
in 2020 is correct and appropriate for use. Therefore, no additional modeling to tank assets
for existing conditions will be done.
Fee
We have estimated a fee to update the Town of Fraser's water system model at $34,780 $51,300.
The fee is based on an hourly rate plus expenses basis in accordance with the 2023 rate schedule.
Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns regarding these proposed services.
Sincerely,
Merrick and Company
Julie Koehler, P.E.
Senior Project Manager
The above proposal is accepted by the Town of Fraser, and the Engineer is authorized to proceed
with the work.

RE: Construction Guarantee Agreement Exhibit A
To Whom it May Concern:
Landmark Job No. 2152-019
I have reviewed the construction costs estimates in Exhibit A of the Construction Guarantee Agreement
associated with the Fraser Middle Park Health Major Site Plan.
Based on the Building Permit Plans prepared for the project dated 7/29/2022, the Construction Cost
Estimate prepared by Layton Construction and dated 9/23/2022, and my judgment as an engineer familiar
with the construction industry; the improvements and costs listed in Exhibit A appear representative of
the construction costs associated with the Site Plan approval.
Landmark Consultants has no control over the cost or availability of labor, equipment, or materials, or
over market conditions or the Contractor's method of pricing. Therefore, Landmark Consultants cannot
and does not guarantee that proposals, bids, or the construction cost will not vary from those listed in
Exhibit A.

on Exhibit A (the "Services"), attached hereto and incorporated herein.
1.2. MAHD shall act as Town's representative with respect to the management of the Project.
MAHD will assist the Town in the preconstruction, development, and administration of the

1.4. Nothing herein will make MAHD the agent of Town or will create a joint venture partnership or
any similar arrangement.
2. Compensation.
2.1. MAHD will invoice Town monthly for the Services performed. The fee payable by Town to
MAHD shall be based upon the level of effort employed by MAHD in performing the Services
at the rates set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein. MAHD invoices to
Town will include a breakdown of the hours spent by MAHD and costs of subcontractors used.
For services rendered through Planning and Programming, MAHD shall not exceed a total fee of
$762.715, including reimbursable expenses and administrative fees as described in paragraph
2.2, without the prior written consent of Town and amendment of this Agreement. Fees and
expenses for the remaining Design and Preconstruction services shall also be added via
amendment to this Agreement as mutually agreed to by MAHD and the Town. All invoices are
due upon receipt. In the event Town disputes any of the fees or expenses on a specific invoice,
the Town shall notify MAHD of such a dispute within ten (10) days of receipt of the invoice. If
Town fails to notify MAHD within the ten (10) day period, the Town shall have waived its right
to dispute such invoice.
2.2. Town will reimburse MAHD for actual, reasonable, and documented out-of-pocket expenses
incurred on behalf of Town in performing the Services hereunder. Reimbursable expenses

Agreement to which MAHD is not a party, Town will compensate MAHD at its regular hourly
rates and reimburse MAHD for reasonable direct and allocated expenses (including counsel fees)
with respect thereto.
3. Termination.
3.1. Town has the right to terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason or no reason upon not
less than thirty (30) days' written notice to MAHD. MAHD has the right to terminate this
Agreement at any time for any reason or no reason upon not less than thirty (30) days' written
notice to Town. In the event of such termination, provided MAHD is not in default hereunder,
Town will pay to MAHD within fifteen (15) days of such termination all fees and expenses
owing to MAHD. Upon any such termination of this Agreement, MAHD will promptly (and as
a condition to the final payment of fee and expenses) deliver to Town originals or, to the extent it
does not have originals, copies of all documents in MAHD's possession relating to the Project
and MAHD's services hereunder, provided that MAHD will have the right to retain copies of all
such documents in its permanent records.

of an uncured default, the non -defaulting Party shall have all rights and remedies available to it
under this Agreement and at law.
4. Relationship of the Parties.
4.1. MAHD and Town agree that MAHD is an independent contractor, and their relationship shall be
governed solely by the terms of this Agreement.

Agreements with MAHD by which MAHD will provide, or contract with additional engineering
and design, material procurement, prefabrication, construction, construction administration,
continued program and development management, financial consulting, leasing, property
management, sales, and other advisory services that may be required for completion of the
Project. As set forth in Exhibit A, MAHD shall request and review subcontractors' insurance
certificates to confirm coverages acceptable to Town in coverage amounts consistent with
Section 6 below for worker's compensation, commercial general liability, contractor's risk,
commercial auto, and professional liability. Town reserves the right to abandon or modify the
Project, in Town's sole discretion.
4.3. Town understands that MAHD will continue to conduct its usual business activities and not
confine its efforts solely to the activities provided under this Agreement; provided, however, that
MAHD will commit the resources and personnel necessary to successfully complete the Services
required hereunder and, provided further, that as an inducement to Town to enter into this
Agreement, MAHD agrees that Todd Mohr and Matthew Ginzberg will be personally involved
and responsible for performing the Services required hereunder. Because Town has hired

any Services except as expressly set forth in Exhibit A. Subcontractors shall be required to
personally perform the Services; there shall be no subcontracting by subcontractors.

kind.
5.3. Town shall hold harmless MAHD and its subcontractors and against any and all claims by third
parties for losses, damages, or liabilities, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses
("Losses"), arising in any manner out of or in connection with this Agreement, unless it is finally
judicially determined that such Losses resulted from the negligent act or omission of MAHD or
its subcontractors. The terms of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and shall apply to any member, officer, director, manager, controlling person, employee, or
affiliate of MAHD.

Town Planner Options
MATTER BEFORE BOARD:
The Board requested additional information regarding the use of contracted services for Town
Planning.
ACTION REQUESTED:
The Town requests clarification on Board priorities regarding Planning Services. Depending on
Board guidance, a resolution to amend the 2023 Budget or ordinance may be necessary.
BACKGROUND:
On April 12, 2022, the Town Manager signed a contract with Baseline Engineering Corporation
to provide on -call and contracted Planning Services for the Town of Fraser. This contract
coincided with the last day of employment of the Town Planner on May 7, 2022.
At the January 4, 2023 meeting, Rob Clemens, Finance Director presented a cost analysis
regarding planning services in response to a Board request from November 2022. The analysis
of the first 6 months of service showed planning service expenses to the Town were in line with
an internal town planner's fully burdened salary even though Baseline's average hourly rate is
almost twice that of an internal planner ($60 vs $116). While Town expenses have remained
similar, developer expenses for Reimbursement for Professional Services increased
significantly.
Members of the development community in Fraser expressed dissatisfaction with the cost of
these services that were now passed through, the lack of transparency in the fees for services,
and quality of services. The lack of communication regarding the change was brought up
several times.
The following address specific items from the January 4, 2023 meeting to aid discussion:
rr eve`°u rrf II r ,r"
r, e n(14,4:2 off ke 970--";,"":!! E; —5 91 d'1 5 :1.:11:3
• Going from 18 years of experience to 0 years of experience with the Town Municipal
Code is a knowledge gap that will require time and expense to bridge. Baseline's ramp -
up cost was approximately $12,000.
• Confirmed with James Shockey that the Town of Winter Park Planning Department does
not have excess capacity and does not wish to take on planning services for the Town of
Fraser.
• Baseline Contract allows for cease of work for defined periods of time and Termination
with at least 10 days written notice and payment of all invoices (Section 7). Dispute
resolution allows for 30 days (Section 8).
• Hiring, onboarding, and training a new planner will take at least 6 -12 months. When
Catherine Trotter was the Town Planner, she confirmed that 1 FTE was not sufficient for
the Town needs in 2022.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Maintain current contract with Baseline Engineering Corporation for Planning Services
while refining cost saving measures and transparency.
2. Initiate hiring process for an internal Town Planner and provide overlapping services
from Baseline Engineering Corporation until the internal Town Planner can operate
without support.
3. Terminate Baseline Engineering Corporation contract while hiring and training an
internal Town Planner. Suspend project planning during the process through an
ordinance.
4. Terminate Town provided services. Create ordinances to require development to align
proposals to meet the municipal code. Train the Planning Commission to have full
knowledge of the municipal code and act as gatekeeper and authority for all projects.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Staff recommend Option 1 or 2 from the alternative list since Options 3 & 4 would create
significant service disruptions, increase liability risk, and be unrealistic to implement.
Option 1 requires no additional action as the Town has budgeted for Baseline services for Town
needs. Additional costs would continue to pass through to developers. Delays in
reimbursements could create developer delays for inspections or acceptances.
Option 2 requires a budget amendment to allocate additional funds to cover the salary and
benefit costs of hiring the planner position.

RE: Support for US 40 Safety and Mobility Improvements - RAISE 2023
Dear Secretary Buttigieg:
As the Mayor of the Town of Fraser, Colorado, I am writing to express my strong support for the
"Connecting Colorado from Craig to Kremmling and Beyond: Safety and Mobility Improvements on
US 40" project. This project will design passing lanes from Craig to Steamboat Springs; construct
passing lanes from Steamboat Springs to Kremmling; address major safety and travel needs on Red
Dirt Hill; and upgrade three Bustang mass transit flag stops. Ultimately, this project will improve
safety, operational efficiency, and transit equity along a frequently traveled highway. Additionally, US
40 is also the only significant detour for Vail Pass and Glenwood Canyon closures; keeping this
interstate safe, reliable, and maintained is critically important for emergency travel and regional
resiliency.
Based on historic and projected population and employment levels, vehicular, transit, and freight
traffic volumes will continue to increase and impact US 40. This project will address many of the
physical constraints on this road which will improve safety for the traveling public and enhance
connectivity throughout Northwestern Colorado.
Grand County sees over two (2) million visitors each year as they travel US 40 to access the many
wonderful recreational opportunities provided in the region, including Steamboat Springs, Winter Park
Ski area, and Rocky Mountain National Park. Tourism is our #1 industry, and local communities like
Fraser depend on the revenues generated by this industry to continue to offer our residents and visitors
world -class outdoor and recreational opportunities.
The Town of Fraser, along with the other communities that lies along this corridor depend on this route
to safely connect us to our neighbors and livelihood, and visitors and freight to us. This project is a
significant investment in safety and systems preservation, as well as mobility to and through a major
rural highway corridor. The success of this project is essential to Grand and Routt County, and all
communities along the Northwestern Slope.
We whole-heartedly support this project and request USDOT to prioritize RAISE grant funding for this
worthy proposal.
Sincerely,
Philip Vandernail
Mayor, Town of Fraser, Colorado
