SUBJECT: Ayres Work Order 9 for EM-15.5-52.0
Please place the attached agreement on the BOCC Agenda. Please return a copy of the agreement to
me for my records.
Ayres Associates, Inc. (Ayres)was retained by Weld County to perform engineering design on flood
damaged sites within the Big Thompson Basin. The Ayres Professional Services Agreement was
terminated by Weld County on August 28, 2014. In early September, Ayres submitted invoices for work
that they had performed on this which had never been approved for a work order by the BOCC. The
negotiated amount of the work order is $2,987.25.
Ayres claims to have been directed by the County's project manager to proceed with working on this site
without an approved work order. The County's project manager had been directed by the former County
Engineer and former Public Works Director to get the design work started on the site.
After the Professional Services Agreement(PSA)was terminated, Public Works (at the direction of the
County Attorney) determined how much of the invoice was eligible for payment under the terms of the
PSA. Section 8B of the PSA outlines what Ayres can be compensated for. Section 8B states " If this
Agreement is terminated by County, Contract Professional shall be compensated for, and such
compensation shall be limited to, (1) the sum of the amounts contained in invoices which it has submitted
and which have been approved by the County; (2) the reasonable value to County of the materials which
Contract Professional provided prior to the date of the termination notice, but which has not yet been
approved for payment; and (3) the cost of any work which County approves in writing which it determines
is needed to accomplish an orderly termination of the work. County shall be entitled to the use of all
material generated pursuant to this Agreement upon termination."
This work order represents the amount of work needed to accomplish an orderly termination of work.
Design work occurred between January 13, 2014 and March 26, 2014. On March 26, 2014, Ayres was
directed by the project manager and the County Engineer to stop any work associated with this site.
Ayres continued to perform work on this site in anticipation of another design work order. Ayres initially
submitted an invoice in the amount of$4,386.45 which included all of the work performed after March 26,
2014. Only the work performed between January 13 and March 26 can be considered, therefore, a
maximum of$2,987.25 is eligible for payment to Ayres.

We agree to this compromise. At this point, I think everyone would like to put this behind us.

Subject: RE: April 4 due date for lower priority sites
James,
As we discussed at the meeting on Friday, we have no need nor want for the survey data that was done at these four
sites. Because there is nothing in writing indicating an April 4 deadline, we would be willing to compromise with you. If
you agree to remove the surveying costs including LIDAR from these invoices, we can move forward with taking a
proposal to the BOCC to pay you for the items listed under the design portion of the project details.
Additionally, I believe that there are several employees who continued to work on projects after the 26`". Those
employees included Darby Schock, Darren Wimmer,Anthony Alvarado,John Eklund, and Florian Fiebg. Anthony's
revised project details do not appear to have accounted for that work. I have accounted for the removal of their hours
in my table below.
If this proposal is acceptable, please let me know as soon as possible so that I can move forward with scheduling a work
session with the BOCC. I would like to have this issue resolved as quickly as possible so that we can both move onto
other projects.
Site Allowed Cost
13/54 $6,237.50 Ekland and Alvarado each had .5 hr aft 3/26
19/46.5 $3,952.50 Schock had 2 hrs after 3/26
5/42A $2,380.00 Fiebig had 7 hr after 3/26,Wimmer had 10 hr after 3/26

Subject: April 4 due date for lower priority sites
Clay,
At your request,we spent a little more time looking through email in the March 2014 time period and have not found
anything from Dave or Wayne. However, Richard's email to John on March 20(attached) clearly defines April 4 as the
target date for the lower priority sites:
"Anthony has told me that the bid set for the high priority sites should be ready by next Wednesday. I need to do
whatever I can to try and get the lower sites out the following week"
The next Wednesday after March 20 is March 26. The end of the following week is April 4.
The conversation that Richard references with Anthony occurred at 3:20 pm on March 20 based on cell phone records,
after which Richard sends his email to John at 3:51 pm. On the basis of that phone call, and Richard's email to John,
Anthony informed our project team by email the next day that the work on these sites had to be completed within two
weeks (by April 4`"), putting the work effort into high gear. And then, as you know, at the meeting on March 26 we were
directed to stop work on Phase 1 and roll everything into Phase 2.
Therefore, the dates we talked about at our meeting this morning, specifically, work completed prior to February 8 and
between March 14-26, are time periods when we were clearly working at your request trying to meet a very aggressive
deliverable schedule. Anthony has gone through the project detail sheets and deleted all charges not in those time
periods (see attachment). As shown, the revised total invoice amount by project site would be:
Site Allowed Cost
13/54 $7,865.00
19/46.5 $6,118.64
5/42A $4,985.00
15.5/52 $3,462.25
Let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
