plants which are grown from seeds. Ms. Dones stated this parcel is fifty-four (54) acres, and thirty (30)
acres are classified as commercial and twenty-four (24) acres are classified as irrigated, agricultural land.
The landowners have twenty (20) improvements, including one residence. Ms. Dones stated the value of
$2,029,676.00 to be accurate, for the buildings which have been correctly classified as real property, so
staff recommends denial of the petition. William McClain, representative of Tagawa Greenhouses, Inc.,
stated he would like to consolidate this case and the one after it. Bruce Barker, County Attorney, stated

tax years 2015, and 2016. Mr. McClain suggested the cost approach should be reduced by 15 to 30
percent to reflect the proper wage rate. He stated it is because the brothers supervised when the
greenhouses were being built and suggested a reduction in the cost approach valuation. Furthermore,
according the classifieds, agricultural property is being sold for $1,000.00 per acre, so, based on the
information he would suggest the Board have the Assessor's Office reelevate the recent information
about the property. Commissioner Kirkmeyer clarified the requested value of the parcels, to which
Mr. McClain stated he hasn't come up with an exact number. Ms. Dones explained the Assessor's Office
previously adjusted 15% due to the characteristics of the buildings. IR Commissioner Kirkmeyer
clarified if this is denied the petitioners can appeal to the State Board of Assessment of Appeals. Mr.
McLain stated there are two (2) different approaches which need to be reconciled. Ms. Dones stated staff
is willing to continue this for a later hearing, or they can deny the petition so it can be appealed to the
State. Commissioner Cozad stated continuing this could delay action further. In response to
Commissioner Conway, Millie Channel, Assessor's Office, stated the petitioners have already been
compensated for the 15 to 30 percent reduction. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to amend the
Resolution to correct the Account Number. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Cozad, and it

PROTEST OF THE AWARD OF CONTRACT TO ROCHE CONSTRUCTORS, INC., FOR BID
#B1800059, JAIL 2 WEST EXPANSION (DESIGN/BUILD) - BRYAN CONSTRUCTION, INC.: Karl Berg,
representative of Bryan Construction, Inc., introduced Scott Bryan, Chief Executive Officer, and other
employees of Bryan Construction, Inc. Mr. Bryan explained the process of putting bid packages together
is time consuming and very costly. He explained since Bryan Construction, Inc., has extensive experience
with building jails and prisons, has built several projects for the Colorado Department of Corrections, and
the most recent project completed was the maximum -security prison, in Canyon City, Colorado. Mr. Bryan
stated they are doing a project for the Denver County Jail. He stressed this is a team proposal and he
presented his company's portfolio. He further stated he believes this was not a traditional bid project
because of how the bid process was accomplished. Mr. Bryan stated this was a true design/build best
value project with an extensive package submitted and an interview that was conducted. He stated Weld
County staff completed a comprehensive, detailed and fair process, and he reviewed the scoring process
and the matrix that staff used to score the firms who presented bids. He stated Bryan Construction, Inc.,
out -performed the request of the bidders' scoring a 90% and Roche Construction scored a 59%. He
added it wasn't noted on the Request for Proposal (RFP) stating only Weld County contractors would be
considered, nor was it listed as criteria on the Cost Benefit Analysis worksheet. He expressed frustration
with the for overturning the staff's recommendation and awarding to Roche Construction. He explained
Bryan Construction, Inc., has over 28 projects in Weld County and they have employees who reside in
Weld County. Mr. Berg reiterated the comments made by Mr. Bryan in a legal manner, stating
Commissioner Conway referred to the Home Rule Charter as a basis for his decision and
Bryan Construction, Inc., received a letter notifying them that they were not the lowest qualified bidder
and as such were disqualified. Mr. Berg stated the bid requirements should be competitive in cost and
quality. He stated during the approval process, Weld County staff raised concerns about the experience
of Roche Construction. Mr. Berg reviewed the evidence which confirms Bryan Construction, Inc., is the
choice for the Design -Build project. He stated he doesn't believe Roche Construction was competitive in
price, nor quality, and suggested the award should be withdrawn or rescinded. Chair Moreno stated he
appreciates the appeal process and commented the bid was awarded to Roche Construction, who is the
original builder of the jail and subsequent expansions. Mr. Berg stated Chair Moreno made a personal
judgement and wasn't the criteria in the bid process. Mr. Barker suggested staff review the process and
Minutes, Monday, May 14, 2018

BC0016
the three (3) items which were detailed in the appeal. Mr. Berg stated the bid process is described in
Section 5-4-60, but he believes the process should follow Section 5-4-150. = Commissioner
Kirkmeyer reviewed the three (3) issues identified in the appeal: 1) criteria were included for an
evaluation, 2) a fee based proposal based on qualifications, and 3) there was no firm price identified. In
response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Berg confirmed on the Request for Bid, page 14, subsection
G., specially outlines the evaluation criteria. He stated the Home Rule Charter provision should not apply,
because he believes it wasn't a bid process but a fee proposal for 3% of the budget costs. In response
to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Berg clarified the Board has discretion, but a RFP must follow the criteria
to be in good faith with the award. Mr. Bryan clarified in the bid documents the criteria doesn't state it will
be awarded to only Weld County residents.
Toby Taylor, Director of the Department of Buildings and Grounds, explained the bid process and
stated he believes there are misinterpretations about some of the pieces of the bid. He stated there isn't
language in the documents which refer to this as a Qualification -Based Project (QBP). During a work
session, the Board asked to have a review of the vendors qualifications and the matrix was not used to
disqualify the bidders but to rank the bidders as far as the criteria listed. He stated the document was
published as a bid and was awarded to the low qualified bidder. In response to Commissioner Freeman,
Mr. Taylor explained staff used only the cost benefit analysis and it recommended Bryan Construction,
Inc.
Commissioner Conway stated the Home Rule Charter, gives preference to companies located in Weld
County. Mr. Taylor stated the low bidder was qualified and so the Home Rule Charter did not apply. In
response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Taylor explained it is not necessary to have a bid bond with
every project. The bid bond is an agreement to abide by the bond and complete the project. Mr. Taylor
stated there is a performance bond and reiterated this was not a qualification bid. Mr. Berg stated there
is a statute which states having a bid bond is not discretionary for public entities.
Mr. Barker clarified the items the Board reviewed are in Section 5-4-60.C.7, and he asked if price
was used as a decision -making criteria. In response to Commissioner Cozad, Mr. Barker stated not
having the bid bond required as part of the qualifications, in not necessary, but it should be part of the
contract. Mr. Barker stated the Board has any right to reject the bid, and it is at the discretion of the Board
to not follow staff's recommendation. 0 In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Taylor stated on
a project of this size staff will conduct an interview process or they have options to do so. Commissioner
Kirkmeyer stated maybe a RFQ should have been done instead RFP. Mr. Taylor explained how the bid
process takes place and staff only awarded the design phase if the Board is not satisfied with the design
build part they could be rebid for the construction part. Commissioner Kirkmeyer clarified the Board was
presented with a contract for a design with the option to build.
la In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Warden clarified the process of the bid which is
selecting the designers as well as the construction company for the build. He stated the bid is to find a
company who will bid to subcontractors and allow the Board to vote. In response to
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Warden stated the company would look at ways to save money during the
construction process.
In response to Commissioner Cozad, Mr. Warden stated Qualified Based is in the purchasing code
to deal with Professional Services, but Federal guidelines stated the qualified bid can only be used for
architectural and engineering services but the bid is requesting more such as construction management.
Mr. Warden disagrees with the requirements about an interview process and suggested if there needs to
be clarification about the bid there should be follow up questions; furthermore, doesn't agree with the
Minutes, Monday, May 14, 2018
Page 6
2018-1540
BC0016
relevance of Section 5-4-60, the intent wasn't a qualified based bid, that section of the code pertains to
projects for the Department of Public Works, such as engineering and survey work. Mr. Warden stated
the documents are clear that this is a bid. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Barker the Code
doesn't say anything about not being able to conduct an interview, so it is at the discretion of the Board.
Mr. Warden stated the interview process depends on the situation and if there needs to be clarifying
questions. Commissioner Cozad stated cost was part of the decision -making and when the numbers
were close the Board asked staff to complete the matrix and Cost Benefit Analysis and part of that was
to conduct an interview; because of this she believes it still falls under the bid process.
Mr. Bryan stated when procuring architectural services, a qualification -based process should be used
and price was part of the bid. He still believes this was not a bid process.
(Clerk's Note: The Board recessed at 11:15 and reconvened at 11:21)
Mr. Barker stated Roche Contractors, Inc., will need to stick to the three (3) issues of the appeal as
presented to the Board by Bryan Construction, Inc., specifically about the price, which section does it
apply to, and was it applied properly.
• Tom Roche, Roche Constructors, Inc., explained this process is consistent with the bid process he
has experienced in last twenty (20) years, and stated the Board is hiring an entire team. He stated after
the bid was awarded, staff did ask Roche Contractors, Inc., questions, but it wasn't an interview.
• Mr. Berg stated if this was really a bid process, there would be no need for interview questions. The
RFP lists the evaluation criteria. Mr. Bryan reiterated during the work session there was a discussion
about qualifications, and staff's recommendation for awarding to Bryan Construction, Inc., was based on
the Cost Benefit Analysis.
• Commissioner Kirkmeyer recommended continuing this matter so the County Attorney can address
some legal questions. After further discussion, Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to continue this matter
to May 16, 2018. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Freeman, which carried unanimously.
PLANNING:
ea 1) CONSIDER FEE SCHEDULES FOR ROAD IMPACT, COUNTY FACILITY IMPACT AND
DRAINAGE FEES COLLECTED BY THE WELD COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES:
Tom Parko, Director of the Department of Planning Services, reviewed the 3.4% rate of inflation increase
of fee amounts. In response to Commissioner Conway, Mr. Parko stated the last three (3) years fees
were adjusted by 2.7%. Mr. Warden explained the fees come from the Department of Local Affairs
(DOLA) for 2017, for the Tabor adjustment each year. Commissioner Cozad moved to amend the
effective date on the resolution to May 14, 2018. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Conway,
and it carried unanimously. Commissioner Cozad moved to approve said fee schedules. Seconded by
Commissioner Freeman, the motion carried unanimously.
• 2) CONSIDER APPEAL OF THE DECISION BY THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS TO
DENY ACCESS PERMIT FOR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FINAL PLAN, PUDF18-0001,
SERENITY VIEW ESTATES - H & K INVESTMENTS, LLC: Dawn Anderson, Department of Public
Works, presented the appeal from H & K Investments, LLC, concerning Serenity View Estates, which is
a nine (9) lot Planned Unit Development (PUD) located on County Road 84, just east of County Road 15.
She reviewed the history of the PUD and stated the plat was never recorded. The application came forth
when the new owner requested a paving variance, which was granted by the Board. She stated in
Minutes, Monday, May 14, 2018
Page 7
2018-1540
BC0016
February 2018, the Emergency Access was removed when the PUD was recorded. Public Works staff
received a request to move the access point 30 feet to the east to align with an existing access point on
the south side of the road. She stated staff received a referral from the Poudre Fire Authority and the
access point needs to comply with the fire code. She reviewed the requirements of the fire code regarding
the length of the dead-end roads and how many access points will be required. Ms. Anderson stated
staff was on site and it meets all safety and site distance requirements, and County Road 84 is designated
as a local road, and she displayed photos of the roads and access points. In response to Commissioner
Kirkmeyer, Ms. Anderson stated there were no requirements of an emergency access, nor the paved
surface, from the Poudre Fire Authority when the original PUD was approved in 2017. Commissioner
Freeman stated the reason the Board waived the paving requirement is because of the gravel roadway.
El In response to Commissioner Cozad, Jose Gonzales, Department of Building Inspection, stated the
requirement for three (3) accesses comes from the 2012 Fire Code. Mr. Gonzales stated if the second
access is allowed, they will waive the requirement to sprinkle the homes. In response to
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Barker explained the Board consents to Enforcement of the Fire Protection
District and it is the Board's responsibility to determine accesses and interior road surface. She stated
she does not agree with the Fire District dictating how to access County roads.
Todd Annand, representative of H and K Investments, LLC, reviewed the history of the request
based on conversations with the Fire Protection District which agreed to waive the requirement for
sprinkler systems if the they are granted an emergency access. He submitted a letter to the Fire
Protection District stating the access will not be available for the public, and would have a key code
requirement. Mr. Annand stated it is important for them to have a second access for emergency
accessibility. Commissioner Freeman agreed it makes sense to have a second access available in case
the first one is blocked. Commissioner Cozad suggested having the access in the middle of the
cul-de-sac. Mr. Annand stated the middle section is dedicated for surface rights for oil and gas production.
Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to grant the Appeal and direct staff to issue an access permit for
emergency Only. Seconded by Commissioner Cozad, the motion carried unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the
Consent Agenda. No Ordinances were approved.
