confirmed the Wackenhut Corporation currently provides these security services.
APPROVE BID #61000075, 2010 ON CALL SERVICES FOR EROSION CONTROL AND
REVEGETATION - DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS: Ms. Mika indicated staff recommends
approval of the low bid from All Cowboy Erosion Control, LLC. Responding to Chair Rademacher,
Wayne Howard, Department of Public Works, clarified the bid process has not been previously utilized
for these services and, as a result, staff struggled to create a total estimated cost for the associated
projects. He explained staff defaulted to utilizing the unit costs provided by the Colorado Department of
Transportation (CDOT), and it is a fortunate situation that the vendors were able to provide much lower
overall estimates. Further responding to Chair Rademacher and Commissioner Garcia, Mr. Howard
confirmed All Cowboy Erosion Control has not been utilized by the County for any previous projects;
however, staff has checked available references and all were positive. Commissioner Garcia moved to
approve said low bid from All Cowboy Erosion Control, LLC, in the amount of $95,949.80, based on
staff's recommendation. Seconded by Commissioner Long, the motion carried unanimously.

BELL#3768: Brenda Dones, Assessor's Office, stated the petition was filed for a personal property
account associated with the Taco Bell located on State Highway 119 in Longmont. She explained the
restaurant burned down in July, 2008, and was under construction as of January 1, 2009, therefore, the
business was not operating at that time. She indicated staff recommends approval of the petition,
resulting in a tax refund of $1,483.41 for year 2009. Commissioner Long moved to approve said
petition, based upon staff recommendation. Seconded by Commissioner Garcia, the motion carried
unanimously.

daily traffic count, taken in the year 2006, is approximately 70 vehicles per day, water will be utilized for
dust control along the gravel portions of the detour route, and the standard signs and barricades will
warn motorists of the closure. In response to Chair Rademacher, Ms. Carter confirmed the road does
cross the Last Chance canal, and the crews will be working on the bridge deck and pilings. Chair
Rademacher indicated a lot of water is already flowing through the canal and he questioned whether
this bridge will be widened within the project, since it is currently very narrow. In response, Ms. Carter
indicated she is not aware of plans to widen the bridge; however, she will check with staff and discuss
the idea. Commissioner Garcia moved to approve said temporary closure. Seconded by
Commissioner Long, the motion carried unanimously.
