MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of County Commissioners
DATE: July 27, 2017
FROM: Elizabeth Relford, Transportation Manager
SUBJECT: DOLA Application — 2017 August Cycle
In accordance with the work session held on July 18, 2017, Public Works is requesting the
Commissioners submit two energy and mineral impact grants to the Department of Local
Affairs (DOLA) on August 1, 2017.
The first grant request is for a Tier 1-$200,000 application for improving WCR 67 from
magnesium chloride to a paved road from WCR 68 to SH 392. If awarded, Public Works
would use this money to purchase cement treated base (CTB) and asphalt materials which
our crews could use to pave approximately 2 miles of road. Pursuant to funding and the
winter months, this HARP project is anticipated to begin in the spring of 2018.
The second grant request is for a Tier 2 -$1,000,000 application for improving WCR 87
from magnesium chloride to a paved road from US 34 to WCR 46.5. If awarded, this grant
would be contracted for approximately two miles of road to be constructed during the late
spring/early summer months of 2018.
Staff recommends authorization of signature on the DOLA applications. I am available at
your convenience to further discuss this matter.

6. Description of the Project Scope of Work:
(Project Description of the various tasks involved in the project including specific data such as quantities, mileage, square feet, lineal ft. etc. as well as
specific project location within city and or county etc.)
Weld County requests funding to improve approximately 2 miles of WCR 67 between WCR 68 and SH 392 from a
magnesium chloride (gravel) to a paved road. WCR 67 is a local north/south road serving the eastern part of
Weld County. There will be no future funding request for WCR 67.
7. Description: (Describe the problem, opportunity or challenge that resulted in the request.)
WCR 67 is in the heart of Weld County's oil & gas operations. Due to the lack of north/south roads in this area,
this road is an extremely valuable oil and gas connection, which makes it difficult to maintain. Currently, WCR 67
is treated with magnesium chloride to address fugitive dust issues. With traffic continuing to increase, this
roadway needs to be treated with cement -treated base (CTB) to reinforce the subgrade (below the asphalt) in
order to support the truck traffic.

D. PROJECT INFORMATION.
The statutory purpose of the Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance program is to provide financial assistance to
"political subdivisions socially or economically impacted by the development, processing or energy conversion of
minerals and mineral fuels."
Updated 01.20.2017
1. Demonstration of Need:
a. Why is the project needed at this time?
I WCR 67 is an important north/south oil and gas road serving the eastern portion of Weld County.
b. How does the implementation of this project address the need?
I By paving WCR 67, Weld County provides a more resilient road connection serving the oil and gas industry.
c. Does this project, as identified in this application, completely address the stated need? If not, please describe
additional work or phases and the estimated time frame. Do you anticipate requesting Energy and Mineral Impact
Assistance funds for future phases?
Yes, paving WCR 67 addresses the safety need for this portion of the roadway. Weld County will not be
requesting additional funding for future projects on this portion of WCR 67.
d. What other implementation options have been considered?
Weld County is trying to be proactive on improving this oil and gas corridor. Weld County has reason to believe
the land owner adjacent to WCR 67 may request vacating WCR 69 one mile from WCR 67. As a result, WCR 67's
traffic will increase significantly because it will be the only north/south road in the vicinity to accommodate
traffic. To date, Weld County has not received a WCR 69 road vacation application.
e. What are the consequences if the project is not awarded funds?
Regardless if WCR 69 is never vacated, WCR 67 is a more direct, safer connection between SH 392 and WCR 68.
Therefore, if funding is not awarded, this section will continue to deteriorate and become an even worse safety
problem than it currently is today.
2. Measurable Outcomes:
a. Describe measurable outcomes you expect to see when implementation of this project is complete. How will the
project enhance the livability* of your region, county, city, town or community (e.g. constructing a new water plant will
eliminate an unsafe drinking water system and provide safe and reliable drinking water; the construction of a new
community center will provide expanded community services, or projects achieving goals regarding energy conservation,
community heritage, economic development/diversification, traffic congestion, etc.)?
*(Livability means increasing the value and/or benefit in the areas that are commonly linked in community development such
as jobs, housing, transportation, education, emergency mitigation, health and environment)
Due to the limited number of roads in the vicinity, the value of paving WCR 67 is significant because there are no
paved north/south county roads in the vicinity. Paving WCR 67 will complete a paved road connection between
SH 392 and WCR 68. The improvements will make the area safer for all motorists and add years of life to the
existing roadway by using innovative technology at the subgrade level, which will help with truck traffic
deterioration.
b. How will the outcome of the project be measured to determine whether the anticipated benefits to this population
actually occur?
Upon completion, Public Works will continue to collect traffic counts to determine if traffic increases.
c. Does this project preserve and protect a registered state historic building, facility or structure? If yes, please
describe. Year of construction:
I N/A, no historic building, facility, or structure is involved in the project.
d. Will this project implement an energy efficiency/strategy that could result in less carbon footprint or conserve energy
use or capitalize on renewable energy technology? If yes, please describe.
Yes, by improving the intersection and road from gravel to paved, you significantly improve the air quality by
reducing particulate emission matter generated from fugitive dust.
e. Will the project be constructed with "Resiliency Framework", which is to build and construct with a plan to reduce risks
by utilizing materials and constructing in areas to better withstand natural or man-made disasters, etc.? If yes, please
describe.
Yes, this project supports the "Resiliency Framework" because Crow Creek drainage basin bisects WCR 67, so
paving WCR 67 will make this road more resilient to water overtopping_ a paved road rather than a gravel road.
3. Relationship to Community Goals
a. Is the project identified in the applicant's budget or a jurisdictionally approved plan (e.g. capital improvement plan,
equipment replacement plan, comprehensive plan, utility plan, road maintenance and improvement plan or other local or
regional strategic management or planning document)? What is its ranking?
Yes, this project has been identified in the Public Works general fund budget.
Page 5 of 10
4. Local Commitment and Ability to Pay/Local Effort
a. Why can't this project be funded locally?
Updated 01.20.2017
Weld County reduced funding the HARP Program, which means less roads can be improved. With less funding
available, Weld County is trying to find other opportunities to fund projects directly impacted by the oil and gas
industry. In order to accomplish this project, Weld County is looking for funds to assist with purchasing
additional materials, so the county crews can construct the improvements rather than contracting them.
b. Has this project been deferred because of lack of local funding? If so, how long?
Yes, this project has been deferred for years.
c. Explain the origin of your local cash match. (Note: Whenever possible, local government cash match on a dollar for
dollar match basis is encouraged.) Are the local funds committed or pending? If there are pending funds, when will the
status of those funds be determined?
The project will be funded out of Public Works 2018 General Fund.
d. What other community entities, organizations, or stakeholders recognize the value of this project and are
collaborating with you to achieve increased livability of the community? Please describe how your partners are
contributing to achieve the improvement to the livability of the community through this project. If in -kind contributions are
included in the project budget, detailed tracking will be required on project monitoring report.
All motorists utilizing these roads recognize the value of this safety project. This project is the boundary
between Galeton and Briggsdale Fire Protection Districts, so these improvements will benefit them both. This
project also assists the Platte Valley School District.
i. Please describe the level of commitment by each collaborator. (e.g. fee waivers, in -kind services, fundraising,
direct monetary contribution, policy changes.)
Weld County is extremely committed to this project because the funds will be used to purchase additional
materials which county crews will use to construct the improvements.
ii. Please list the value of the resources that each collaborator is bringing to the program.
Weld County equipment and labor is more than half of the cost of the project.
e. Has the applicant dedicated the financial resources in their current budget, reserve funds and/or unused debt
capacity that are being used for the local matching funds? Explain if No
Yes, the project funds are identified as part of the Haul Route (HARP) Program which Weld County will fund as
the cash match from Public Works budget. Since an executed contract would more than likely be approved in
late October after the asphalt plants have shut down, construction would not be able to begin until spring of 2018
when the plants re -open. Public Works designed the project in-house and no additional right-of-way is needed for
the project. This project will be completed before the end of 2018.
f. Have the applicant's tax rates, user charges or fees been reviewed recently to address funding for the proposed
project?
Weld County has so many impacted oil and gas roads that all available funding is going into the PW General
Fund/HARP program to help mitigate the impacts to as many county roads as possible. The grant would allow
Public Works to complete a significant oil and gas road, which wouldn't otherwise be completed.
g. If the tax rate, user charges or fees were modified, what was the modification and when did this change occur?
Weld County has been directing the revenues from the Specific Ownership Tax to Public Works since 1985.
h. Has the applicant contacted representatives from local energy or mineral companies to discuss the project? If yes,
when was the contact and what was discussed.
Yes, HARP roads are discussed at Weld County's Oil and Gas Working Group regular meetings. The Oil & Gas
Working Group consists of industry partners discussing impacts affecting everyone and problem solves how we
can all work together to minimize or mitigate these problems.
I. Has the applicant requested financial support from the industry? If yes, when was the contact, what amount did you
request? What were the results? If no, why not?
Yes, but the industry typically helps Weld County projects with in -kind support such as water hauling, gravel,
trucking and stock piling.
5. Readiness to Go
a. Assuming this project is funded as requested, how soon will the project begin? Select One (Within 3 months,
(X)3-6 months, U6-9 months or (U9-12 months? What is the time frame for completion? Select One (jWithin 3 months,
(J3-6 months, U6-9 months, (X)9-12 months or (J >12 months.
b. Describe how you determined that the project can be completed within the proposed budget as outlined in this
application?
If awarded, a contract will probably be completed at the beginning of 2018, which is during the winter months.
Therefore, PW will use this time to bid the project for construction. As soon as the asphalt plants begin
producing the polymer asphalt we use on bridges, the project can begin. Anticipate construction starting in May
at the latest and being complete in June with project close-out in July.
Page 6 of 10
Updated 01.20.2017
c. Has the necessary planning and design been completed? How? What additional design work remains? How did the
applicant develop project cost estimates? Are any or permitting must still be completed, if any? When? How did the
applicant develop project cost estimates? Is the project supported by bids, professional estimates or other credible
information? Please attach a copy of any supporting documents.
The engineering required for these projects are all done in-house. In addition, Weld County crews construct the
improvements. The purpose of these funds are to acquire materials to pave the road. Weld County is extremely
proficient with knowing exactly how much material is needed for paving roads, so no over or under runs are
anticipated.
i. What additional design work remains?
Nominal design is needed for this project and it is done in-house.
ii. How did the applicant develop project cost estimates?
Estimates were developed by professional engineers involved with the project design.
iii. Is the project supported by bids, professional estimates or other credible information? Please attach a copy of any
supporting documents.
Weld County bids materials annually. This project is supported by those bid amounts.
iv. Are any Local, State or Federal permits required before the project can proceed?
If yes, please describe.
I No additional permits are required for this project because it will occur within the existing right-of-way limits.
6. Energy & Mineral Relationship
a. Describe how the applicant is, has been, or will be impacted by the development, production, or conversion of energy
and mineral resources.
Weld County accounts for more than fifty percent of all oil and gas activity for the entire state and therefore is
extremely impacted. Much of the road's traffic is due to oil and gas trucks.
b. To further document the impact in the area, name the company or companies involved, the number of employees
(click to get # of employees) associated with the activities impacting the jurisdiction and other relevant, quantitative
indicators of energy/mineral impact.
I Companies with oil and gas operations in the area include: Noble Energy, Bill Barrett, and NGL Water Solutions.
c. Cite actual use data that documents direct impact as it relates to the need for the project. For example, "heavy truck
traffic directly related to energy development activities is impacting County Road X. a traffic count done in May 2015
showed energy related truck traffic increased from 100 trips per day to 300."
WCR 67 is a local roadway. Current traffic volumes on WCR 67 are 1421 vehicles per day (vpd) with 71% truck
traffic. This count was taken on 3/23/2017.
7. Management Capacity
a. How will you separate and track expenditures, maintain funds and reserves for the capital expenditures and
improvements as described in this project?
Weld County's Accounting Department is recognized as a Tier 3 local government by the State and can manage
all invoicing information through Banner Accounting System. In addition, Public Works will use the project
management software PubWorks to assist in administering the grant.
b. Describe the funding plan in place to address the new operating and maintenance expenses generated from the
project?
Going from a gravel to a paved road will increase the amount of HUTF funding Weld County will receive in order
to maintain this corridor.
c. Describe the technical and professional experience/expertise of the person(s) and/or professional firms responsible to
manage this project.
Weld County Public Works has several engineers on staff and proven expertise in roadway improvement
projects. Barbara Connolly is the point of contact for this grant and Elizabeth Relford will be responsible for
managing the construction project.
d. Does the project duplicate service capacity already established? Is the service inadequate? Has consolidation of
services with another provider been considered?
This is a safety project and does not duplicate service capacity, but enhances it. Current service is inadequate
and inefficient to meet existing truck traffic demands.
