Agreements
Stroh Ranch/Hess Annexation Agreement Amendment (Northern Property)
Town Council approved the sixth amendment to the Amended and Restated Stroh Ranch/Hess Annexation Agreement, which governs the terms under which the property commonly known as Anthology North Planned Development was annexed into the Town and how it is to be developed in the future. The sixth amendment addresses the following: 1. Allows the developer of Segment 1, marketed as Tanterra, flexibility in the types of financial security required for the construction of traffic signals within the project; 2. Allows the Tanterra Developer to secure its obligation for the future construction of Stroh Road with a letter of credit to the Town at Final Plat; and 3. Allows the developer of the SunMarke project to satisfy its obligation for a portion of the Oak Gulch Regional Trail by providing a cash-in-lieu payment to the Town instead of designing and constructing the Regional Trail. This also eliminates the SunMarke developer’s obligation to construct a pedestrian bridge that is no longer required for the design and future use of the Regional Trail.

Contracts
Town Council awarded five contracts over the amount of $500,000:
1. A purchase agreement with Kaiser Premier in the amount of $609,488 for the purchase of a Jet/Vacuum Truck to perform ongoing maintenance of the Town’s stormwater infrastructure.
2. A design contract with Anderson Mason Dale Architects (AMD) for the Town Hall Expansion Project, for the contract terms and conditions only. The next step in the process is awarding the design contract and first amendment. The design contract is structured so the Town and AMD sign the contract for the terms and conditions of service, then services are added to the contract by means of four contract amendments. The first amendment is for preliminary (30%) design services, the second amendment is for design development (60%) and entitlement services, the third amendment is for construction documentation (100%) services, and the fourth amendment is for construction administration services. Each amendment will be presented to Town Council for award. The overall design contract for this project including all four amendments is anticipated to be between $2 million to $2.5 million depending on project scope. The contract duration spans a time of approximately 2.5 years. Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2024 and completion is estimated for the first quarter of 2025.
3. The first amendment to the approved design contract with Anderson Mason Dale Architects for the Town Hall Expansion Project for preliminary design services in the amount of $289,100. The primary objectives of the preliminary design phase are to build upon the results of the Facility Master Plan, advance the design to 30% and build a project cost model.
4. A construction contract with JHL Constructors for the Town Hall Expansion Project, for the contract terms and conditions only. The pre-construction fee and guaranteed maximum price will be added to the contract by means of two contract amendments. The next step in the process is awarding the construction contract and first amendment. The construction contract is structured so the Town and JHL sign the contract for the terms and conditions of service, then services are added to the contract through a series of two contract amendments. The first amendment is for pre-construction services and the second amendment adds the guaranteed maximum price (GMP) into the contract, which officially starts construction. The pre-construction fee and GMP for this project is anticipated to be between $23 million and $26 million, depending on project scope. The contract duration spans a time of approximately 2.5 years.
5. The first amendment to the approved construction contract with JHL Constructors for the Town Hall Expansion Project for pre-construction services in the amount of $49,500. The primary objectives of the pre-construction phase are to prepare cost estimates, construction schedules and a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) proposal.
