Selection of Contractor to Provide Digital Aerial Orthophotography Services
John Staight, GIS Program Manager
Mr. Staight explained that the purpose was to,formally select a photographer for this project. He stated
that the aerial photo layer is the most popular layer used by web constitUents and is the background for the GIS
mapping information. The countY received six bids. The criteria used included methodology, contractor's
experience, time-frame, cost, and ability to successfully complete the project. Based on these criteria he
determined that Samborn Map Company of Colorado Springs would be the best contractor. This company is not
the lowest bidder. Bids ranged from $33,000-$165,000. Samborn's bid was $82,385.
Chairman Stone asked if all six companies met the request for proposals.
Mr. Staight responded that M. J. Harden didn't submit sample imagery, which was a requirement of the
request for proposal.
Representatives from M.J. Harden and Samborn Map Company were present for the presentation.
Mr. Staight spoke about Samborn's methodology. They use a large format digital camera which was
different from the other five proposals which use traditional film photography. Digital imagery produces superior
images and color, infrared, and black and white imagery would be included. This company also proposed a
thorough quality control process and proposed adding value-added services via proprietary software used for

evaluation of quality and. completeness of images. References provided by Samborn were very positive. Their
references were for governmental projects which met the same specifications. They were the previous contractor
for current aerial photography and have a proven track record of producing quality images. They indicated that
they would be able to complete the project by September 30 with final delivery before December 31, 2004.
Chairman Stone asked the representative from M. J. Harden to come to the microphone.
Danny Ross spoke to the board. He gave some background about his company, M. 1. Harden. He gave
the board a copy of their proposal. Their bid was approximately $48,000.00. He explained that his firm puts out
a lot of proposals every month and there were several typos, but they had been corrected. The CD that was sent
had sample data of another proposal. He knew that could disqualify him, but asked the commissioners if it was
worth spending another $40,000. He expressed surprise that Mr. Staight had not informed him that he would be
disqualified based on this mistake. He stated that a digital camera is a new tool, but that it isn't necessary for this
type of project. A conventional mapping camera is sufficient for this type ofproject
Mr. Ingstad asked whether a professional could tell the difference between digital and film photos.
Mr. Ross stated that this would be possible, but most people, including GIS people, would not be able to
distinguish between the two technologies. Their work is guaranteed until Eagle County is satisfied with the
product.
Chairman Stone asked about their experience in filming mountainous terrain.
Mr. Ross explained that his firm has as much or more city and county work as Sambom, just not in
Colorado. They have done work for Steamboat Springs and in various areas of Utah and California in
mountainous terrain. Their resume is not as inclusive as Samborn's in the state of Colorado.
Chairman Stone asked about value-added services and products.
Mr. Ross stated that there had not been any specific services or products provided. He stated that Mr.
Staight informed him that Samborn's price was higher than presented.
Chairman Stone stated that the bid that they had in front of them was actually $88,385 and not $83,000.
James Kirk, Vice President of Samborn Map, and Jason Caldwell were present. He stated that Samb()tIi
was established in the late 1800s and is the oldest map company in the United States, located in Colorado Springs.
They have significant experience providing services across the U.S. and in Colorado. The digital camera is more
expensive but provides additional value. The products that were laid into the proposal in terms of value-added are
included in all oftheir proposals, He stated that he had not had further discussions with John Staight that would
have breached ethical moral considerations.
Cori1111issioner Gallagher asked about additional costs for value-added services:
Mr. Caldwell stated that the products would be just under $1,000.00. This has not been negotiated at this
point or figured into the proposal cost. He stated that his firm could use an analog camera.
Commissioner Menconi asked about the additional $40,000.
Mr. Caldwell did not have an answer to this question. He stated that most other companies would
probably come in at around the same price that his fltIn provided. '
Mr. Kirk stated that in similar projects, their prices are not more or less when compared.
Mr. Treu clarified that neither firm had seen the other's proposals. The only information that each had
was the cost of the other's bid.
Chairman Stone asked Mr. Staight what the budgeted amount had been.
Mr. Staight said that he had budgeted $79,000 for the project but it was prior to the landfill expressing
interest. It was also prior to adding two additional outlyirig areas. These areas do not have a lot of residential
units.
Chairman Stone asked if these proposals included additional areas that weren't originally included.
Mr. Staigbt indicated that they did. Ron Rasnic has also budgeted for some of the costs for the landfill.
Mr. Treu wondered ifM. J. Harden had been considered for this proposal.
Mr. Staight stated they were considered. lIe stated that he has a sample image from a digital camera
versus an analog camera. He offered to display the images on the monitor.
The Commissioners looked at the monitor to review the differences between the technologies.
Chairman Stone asked the commissioners for their preference.
Commissioner Menconi asked Mr. Staight whether there was one particular item that indicated the clear
benefit - or was it the degrees of differences, such as the quality of the images, and the height of the flights.
Mr. Staight indicated that technical errors on the part ofM. J. Harden gave an indication of the type of
service that would be received.

Commissioner Menconi wondered if the degree of detail in the proposals had been a factor in Mr.
Staight's determination of his recommendation.
Mr. Staight indicated that the professional presentation was a factor.
Commissioner Menconi asked what really made the difference.
Mr. Staight stated the quality of the digital imagery was the primary factor, and the fact that Samborn was
similar in price to Merrick's in price and quality.
Commissioner Menconi asked Mr. Treu about the process. He wondered ifthere would be an opportunity
to find out whether the other company could provide a digital fonnat and what the costs would be.
Mr. Treu stated that there is the ability in the RFP to request additional infonnation.
Mr. Ross stated that his firm could partner for a digital product.
Commissioner Menconi wondered if there was a cost difference between digital and analog.
Mr. Treu stated that the commissioners had to deal with the bids in front of them and ifM. J. Harden was
asked to provide digital pricing, the entire bid process would have to start over.
Mr. Staight stated that the digital camera probably would not produce a cost difference. He felt it was
appropriate to inform the commissioners about a follow up conversation with Mr. Ross related to the significant
savings in cost. Mr. Ross responded that since his firm didn't have a lot ofthe specific type of experience in
county government and mountainous terrain he had asked his staff to produce a very reasonable bid in order to
attract the work.
Mr. Ross stated that Mr. Staight is correct. His goal is to try to establish his firm in Colorado. The
markup in rates is similar to other firms in the industry. Their rates are similar. They looked at this project as an
opportunity to get their foot in the door. Their markup is 5-6%, which is cut way down. He was amazed at the
high price of Samborn' s bid.
Chairman Stone asked about the options available.
Mr. Treu responded that the two options are to accept one of the bids or reject all bids.
Commissioner Gallagher moved that the Samborn Map Company, Inc. be awarded the contract for this
proj ect.
Commissioner Menconi seconded the motion.
Commissioner Gallagher stated that the reason he is choosing Samborn is that there is more value in the
bid, particularly in the value-added imagery. He also took into account the firms' experience in Eagle County.
Their proposal showed. greater benefit to the county.
Commissioner Menconi asked what the cost would be to purchase the two pieces of software that were
listed as value-:-added products.
Mr. Caldwell answered:that these licenses would cost around $1500 - $2000 in total.
Commissioner Menconi stated he is struggling with the large cost difference.
Commissioner Gallagher commented that he appreciates Commissioner Menconi's efforts at fiscal
responsibility. He is hesitant to re-open bidding at this point because it could set a precedent for future bids in
other instances.
Commissioner Gallagher and Chairman Stone voted in favor of Sambom and Commissioner Menconi
voted against the proposal.
Request for Approval of Digital Aerial Orthophotography Professional Services Contract
John Staight, GIS Program Manager was present.
Commissioner Gallagher moved to approve the contract for digital orthophotography services between
Eagle County and Samborn Map Company for services.
Commissioner Menconi seconded the motion.
Chairman Stone and Commissioner Gallagher voted in favor of the contract. Commissioner Menconi
voted against approving the contract.
Lease Agreement Between Edwards Plaza, LLC and Eagle County for Sheriff Substation at
Edwards Plaza
8/24/2004

,
SheriffHoy spoke to the board and explained that the previous space had not been sufficient to serve the
needs for this area. The location is ideally located in Edwards below the Alpine Bank and Fiesta's. There are two
means of entrance to the space and it is big enough for expansion.
Chairman Stone asked about the comparison of rents.
SheriffHoy stated the rent is almost double, but the space is much larger 2Yz to 3 times larger.
Mr. Treu stated that there is some federal funding currently available.
SheriffHoy reminded the hoard that this funding is not guaranteed into the future.
Mr. Ingstad asked about the revenUe stream for the prior facility in Edwards.
Sheriff Hoy stated that this space was paid for from the grant money that was available.
Mr. Ingstad wondered if the move to the new location would impact the general fund dollars. He
wondered what the dollar amount of increase would be for the general fund for the new location.
SheriffHoy stated that the old rent was around $17,000 and the new place would be $32,000. He
clarified that this year's rent, from September to December, would be covered out of grant monies. He was not
sure of next year's impact.
Mr. Ingstad asked about requests for other costs for the move.
SheriffHoy stated that he didn't know about the Facilities costs, but new furniture, signage and IT
services would be around $15,000. There would also be some internal construction needed along with digital
cameras and microphones.
Mr. Ingstad wondered if Health and Human Services could produce a 2.6% limit to the operations budget.
He wondered if the Sheriffs department would be able to meet this limit to operation cost increases.
SheriffHoy could not commit to this.
Chairman Stone wondered if the board would be approving the additional improvements to the facility.
Mr. Ingstad stated that Kim Andree had submitted line items to finance to cover these costs. He stated he
had not had a chance to review the 2005 budget.
Chairman Stone stated that it would be helpful to look at the entire package. He wondered what the total
cost of the lease would be. Tenant improvements would be part of this cost.
SheriffHoy stated that improvements to the space would come out of this year's budget.
Commissioner Gallagher asked for further description of the space.
SheriffHoy informed the board that the space is on one level that includes four roOttlS, a bathroom, small
kitchen, large center area that could be divided, and a small outer room which would be used for interviewing
suspects.
Commissioner Gallagher asked about coverage at the station.
SheriffHoy stated there would be 24 hour coverage at this substation. The personnel manning this
facility are currently working on the road.
Commissioner Menconi stated that he became concerned when he saw the ad for the space. He assumed
that the money for the lease was included in the Sheriff s department budget. He stated that the procedure that
was followed didn't fit into the normal process. He wondered when Mr. Ingstad would be meeting for the overall
budget.
Mr. Ingstad stated that his difficulty is that Elected Officials have more discretion about moving funds
from one account to another. The 2005 budget is out of line by approximately $4,000,000. This overage doesn't
include additional staff that had been requested by the Sheriff. He wants the Sheriff to understand that the
additional cost for this substation would require additional savings for the department for the next year. There
isn't a lot of general fund money - the fund is pretty strapped.
Commissioner Menconi asked whether this was a greater priority than the request for additional staff. He
suggested that SheriffHoy go through the budget review process unless this request is Sheriff Hoy's number one
priority for 2005.
SheriffHoy stated he is asking for the tools for his department to be the best law enforcement agency in
the county. He asked for manpower because this had not been requested in 10 years. He asked the board to start
thinking about the perception of county law enforcement.
Commissioner Menconi stated that very few requests had been turned down related to the Sheriffs
department in four years, but to have the request come in this manner makes it complicated for the board to do a
good job.
SheriffHoy explained it had been handled this way because he had no knowledge of the proper process.
8/2412004

Mr. Ingstad stated that this is an appropriate way to handle the process. He stressed that the questions that
are being asked are related to the budget. He stated that every department would not be granted everything they
requested. It's not just law enforcement, but all county-wide services.
Commissioner Menconi suggested Sheriff Hoy to go through the budget process prior to the approval of
this lease.
Chairman Stone concurred with Commissioner Menconi. He believed more information would be
helpful. He suggested this request be carried forward. He doesn't want the board to treat department heads or
elected officials inconsistently.
Mr. Ingstad stated that he didn't believe a decision could be made about the Sheriffs department .
priorities. The Sheriff s department would have to decide.
Commissioner Menconi clarified that a 2.6 % increase is the maximum allowed for all departments.
SheriffHoy would have to look at his priorities.

Commissioner Menconi seconded the motion. The vote carried unanimously.

the EarlyChiIdhood Coaching and Consultation Program
John Lowery/Carla Budd/Gail Britt/KathleenForinash, Senior Services & Human ResourcesNolunteer
Center/Health & Human Services
Tom Edwards, member of the United Way board, spoke to the board. He introduced Drew Dodd of
Alpine BaI1k and President of the United Way.
Drew Dodd presented a check for $2,400 to the Eagle County Senior Services. The program provided
will include a wellness program to initiate yoga and other programs. The second check is for the Eagle County
Volunteer Center in the amount of $2,000. Those are the programs that are being sponsored by the United Way.
The United Way has given away over $600,000 to local programs since 1998. They are able to give out 95-97%
of their funds. The 2005 campaign will be kicking off on October 1 st. He thanked the board for the opportunity to
come before the board.
Chainnan Stone felt it was worth noting that $111,600 was being allocated to fund 23 different Health
and Human services projects. He thaI1ked Mr. Dodd for the work that he does and commended him for the
administrative cost management.

LOCATION: South and west of Arrowhead at Vail PUD on Cresta Road, just above the base of the Arrowhead
Ski Area
PROJECT DESCRIPTIO,.,
SUMMARY: A final plat for McCoy Springs at Arrowhead PUD, which would create eight single-family lots and
a lot to include an employee/caretaker unit, a free-market condominium unit, and a common ski storage
locker unit (all in a single structure) on a 41.109 acre parcel.
CHRONOLOGY:
2001 - Cresta Road and utility infrastructure were extended through the McCoy Springs parcel to serve
Arrowhead Mountain Lots in Development Area P of the Arrowhead at Vail PUD.
2003 - Combined SketchlPteliminary Plan approved for McCoy Springs at Arrowhead PUD.
REFERRAL RESPONSES: All referral responses have been satisfactorily addressed.
MAJOR CONCERNS AND ISSUES: None
STAFF FINDINGS:
Pursuant to Section 5-280. B.5.b (3). Final Plat for Subdivision - Action bv the Board of Countv
Commissioners. of the Eagle County Land Use Regulations, the following finding is made:
The Final Plat DOES confonn to the approved Preliminary Plan for Subdivision for the McCoy Springs
at Arrowhead Planned Unit Development, and
Pursuant to Section 5-280.B.3.e, Subdivision Standards, of the Eagle County Land Use Regulations,
the following findings are made:
(1) Consistent with Master Plan. The proposed subdivision IS consistent with the Eagle County
Master Plan and the PLUM of the Master Plan;
(2) Consistent with Land Use Regulations. The proposed subdivision DOES comply with all of
the standards of this Section and all other provisions ofthese Land Use Regulations, including but
not limited to, the applicable standards of Article 3, Zone Districts, and Article 4, Site
Development Standards;
(3) Spatial Patterns Shall Be Efficient. The proposed subdivision IS located and designed to avoid
creating spatial patterns that cause inefficiencies in the deiivery of public services, or require
duplication or premature extension of public facilities, or result in a "leapfrog" pattern of
development.
(a) Utility and Road Extensions. Proposed utility extensions ARE consistent with the utility's
service plan. Proposed road extensions ARE consistent with the Eagle County Road Capital ,
Improvements Plan. '
(b) Serve Ultimate Population. Utility lines ARE sized to serve the planned ultimate
population of the service area to avoid future land disruption to upgrade under-sized lines.
(c) Coordinate Utility Extensions. Generally, utility extensions ARE allowed only when the
entire range of necessary facilities can be provided, rather than incrementally extending a
single service into an otherwise un-served area.
(4) Suitability for Development. The property proposed to be subdivided IS suitable for development,
considering its topography, environmental resources and natural or man-made hazards that may affect
the potential development of the property, and existing and probable future public improvements to
the area.
8/24/2004

(5) Compatible with Surrounding Uses. The proposed subdivision IS compatible with the character of
existing land uses in the area and WILL NOT adversely affect the future development of the
surrounding area.
Pursuant to Section 4-700, School Land Dedication Standards, of the Eagle County Land Use
Regulations, the following findings are made:
The Applicant HAS provided an appraisal in the form of a Summary Appraisal Report, completed by an
appraiser licensed or certified in the State of Colorado and dated no more than six (6) months prior to the
date of the application, which has established the full market value of the land to be platted, based on
anticipated market value after completion of platting, in the total amount of $5,000,000, which is a per
acre value of$121,627.86 for the 41.109 acre parcel.
Further, based on a school land dedication requirement of 0.1233 acres for the McCoy Springs at
Arrowhead PUD, a cash in-lieu-payment of$14.996.72 IS reasonable and appropriate.
Chairman Stone asked if the applicant had a presentation.
Bob Warner complimented the staff on their'thoroughness on this project.
Chairman Stone asked for public comment. There was none.
The commissioners did not have any questions or feedback.
Commissioner Menconi moved to approve File No. PDF -00084, incorporating Staff findings, and
authorizing the chairman to sign the plat and the Subdivision Improvements Agreement.
Commissioner Gallagher seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
Commissioner Gallagher asked about the SIA and whether this was included in the motion. After
discussion, the motion was re-read and re-voted upon. The vote was still unanimous.
Mr. Warner suggested the Community Development department take another look at the school land
dedication fee process, as it has become cumbersome.
Chairman Stone stated that the intent was to simplify the process and make the fees more reasonable. He
stated the intent was also to realize the real value of the land. He suggested that perhaps there is another solution
to the problem of appraising the land.
Mr. Warner stated that the word "appraisal", because ofthe use of licensed professionals instead of
"assessed value", where you can use in-house people, makes it difficult.
Commissioner Menconi wondered whether the appraisal would be based on raw or developed land. He
asked how the fees were used.
Mr. Forinash explained that land dedication is numbers of people per household. The value is determined
based upon the value of the land after the approval of a subdivision, but without any improvements in place.
Previously the regulations didn't talk of the values of the land with regard to improvements.
