|
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND: The Public Works Shop expansion was approved within the 2021 budget process. Inorder to stay on schedule for a spring 2021 construction start. The Xcel Energyinfrastructure serving the Public Works complex needs to be upsized. The TownStaff worked with Xcel Energy designers to ensure this upgrade will not only servethe current project but will accommodate all future masterplan elements includingadditional housing. The work is more extensive than most upgrades. The work willtake place from intersection of Vail Valley Drive and Sunburst Drive to the Town ofVail Shop Building. This work will be disruptive to the access to the shop andcoordinating the construction in a May time frame is the least impactful. Authorizingthe expenditure now facilitates scheduling with Xcel energy as construction scheduleand priorities are based on actual payment in advance of the construction. The costof the work is $ 245,000.
