RE: Engineering Design Services
Mason Grade Separation at NRRC
West Plaza Ramp Alternative Design
FHU Job. No. 06-295
Dear Jin,
At your request, we are submittin this proposal to provide additional Engineering Design
Services for the Mason Grade Separation at NRRC. It is our understanding that the City
would like to re -investigate a ramp alternative at the west end of the recently
designed/completed pedestrian bridge. The ramp would replace an elevator that is
currently included in the construction plans. Either a ramp or elevator will be required to
provide access to meet American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements for this
facility.
Scooe of Work
Phase 1 — Ramp Concept Design
The first phase of the proposed work will include the development of two ramp
alternatives at the west end of the pedestrian bridge. The ramp options will extend
toward the north, where the current elevator is located. The plaza area south of the
bridge, including the at -grade ramps and stairs, and the stair structure up to the bridge
platform level, will remain as previously designed.
To meet ADA requirements, the total ramp length is anticipated to be upwards of 450
feet long, and will be aligned as needed to the west of Bay Farm Road. It has been
assumed that Bay Farm Road will remain open after the bridge is constructed, and that a
ramp alternative will not impact its operation.
We propose the following work for the Conceptual Phase:
1. FHU will develop two ramp alternatives, fit within the constraints of the project
location, bordered by Bay Farm Road to the east, and the NRRC parking

RE: Alternative design ideas for pedestrian over pass at NRRC property
Rick,
Per your request I have reviewed the previous design and construction plans for the
pedestrian overpass, titled "Mason grade separation at NRRC". The previous design
utilizes stair wells and elevators to allow access from the ground elevation to the bridge
overpass above. As we discussed the current design should function effectively for
public access, however you indicated that a secondary design concept should be explored
that does not incorporate the elevators. In an effort to allow for pedestrian and bicycle
access as well as conforming to ADA standards I have prepared a ramp design concept
for your review.
The following are design assumptions and concept discussion for both the east and west
plaza ramp access structures
Design Assumptions:
• Access to the bridge must be ADA compliant
o Maximum 8% ramp slope
o No rise greater than 30" between landings
o Landings must be a minimum of 60" x 60"
o Handrails provided
• Bicycle and pedestrian traffic
o Minimum of 8' of head clearance
o Minimum of 60" wide ramps
• General Design Assumptions
o Ramp sections can be pre -fabricated
o Ramp sections are 8" thick
o Columns can be designed to hold front ramp without posing clearance
issues on back ramp, or columns may need to exist on both sides.
o Elevations, grading, site layout, easements, etc. were obtained from Mason
Grade Separation at NRRC construction bid plans, dated 10/2011.
East Plaza Site Plan:
The east plaza site plan was modified to incorporate the side by side ramps concept into
the existing topography and site layout. Generally, the proposed ramps are the same
width as the stair and elevator design. However, the ramps are significantly longer in
length in order to achieve 8' head clearance. The ramp structure is 71' in total length
compared to the elevator concept which is 55' in total length.
The additional length created some pinch points at the two easterly corners of the
structure adjacent to the existing flowline of the access road. The proposed site plan
"bumps" the flowline out to the east an additional 3.5' in order to give approximately 4.8'
of clearance from the back of curb to the corner of the structure at the narrowest point.
The ramps were configured to allow for ground access from the south side of the
structure. This was considered to allow access to the immediately adjacent bus station to
the south. Site plan and profile conceptual sketches have been provided with this memo
for review.
West Plaza Site Plan:
The west plaza site plan was also modified to incorporate a very similar side by side
ramps concept. The ramp structure will be approximately the total width of the previous
stairway and elevator design. The ramp structure is 76.5' in total length compared to the
previous design of 55'. The additional 5.5' on this site is due to an additional access
ramp on the north side of the section to access the Bay Farm Road.
The west site plan proposes two access points into the structure. One is on the north side
of the structure accessing Bay Farm Road and the second is below and exists in the
middle of the structure on the east side and accesses the NRRC site. The previous site
plan incorporated a lot of hardscape and concrete ramps to make the grade difference
between the two accesses ADA compliant and allow for ADA and bicycle access from
the NRCC to the elevator. This proposed ramp structure concept could eliminate much
of this hardscape as the grade difference is made up within the ramp structure.
I believe that the side by side ramp concept is a viable design as an alternative to a
stairwell and elevator concept. However, further design and considerations will need to
be evaluated if this ramp concept is to move past a preliminary sketch concept as
proposed.
After your review of this memo and the attachments please contact me to discuss any of
your questions or concerns.

Andrew S. Gingerich, P.E.

Re: Spring Creek Overpass Update
Background:
The planned Spring Creek Overpass (near Whole Foods) is an ADA-compliant bicycle and
pedestrian grade -separated crossing over the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad to
connect the Mason Trail, the Natural Resources Research Center (NRRC) federal employment
campus and the Colorado State University (CSU) Veterinary Medical Campus to the University
Mall as well as to the residential, commercial, retail and employment corridor along South
College. The crossing will also provide connectivity between these major employment
campuses and the MAX station.
The project was bid in February of 2012 and the cost exceeded the budget so the project was
not awarded.
Current Status:
Additional funds are in the proposed 2013 budget to cover the shortfall, but the City is also
thoroughly examining the design to maximize any potential cost savings. The City is underway
with a re -design process to prepare the project for another bid in March 2013. This redesign
includes potential cost savings and flexibility options to ensure the project can be implemented.
These include an alternate design to include ramps instead of an elevator.
Construction is estimated to take 8-10 months and be completed by the end of 2013.

Re: Justification for Change Order - Concrete Express (MAX BRT Project)
Street Maintenance Concrete Repairs on Mason Street Downtown
Budgeted Amount: $ 220,000
Background:
City Streets Department needs to make concrete repairs on Mason Street between Laurel and
Cherry. Engineering already has a number of MAX Bus Rapid Transit project work zones in
place under the Concrete Express contract that encompass the same work areas, and will have
more in the very near future. After discussing this with the Streets team, I would like to request
that CEI be utilized to complete the concrete repairs.
• Competitive concrete repair prices — a cost comparison has been completed and the
CEI unit prices are lower than the existing Street Maintenance contract. In addition, CEI
tf already has in place the necessary railroad insurance, safety training, and permits.
e k is control cost savings— CEI can utilize MAX traffic control setups to complete
�
•� portions of onal expense to the project. This also avoids the
Lw,,t iculties associated with two traffic control companies and two sets of traffic control
equipment in the same area.
• Warranty Consistency — all repairs would be completed by the same contractor,
�w simplifying the management and repair of any warranty related items in the future.

City
�'ortYCoRins
• Schedule Control — CEI is on site and could begin work immediately. This will expedite
the completion of the work in the downtown area, and maximize the volume of work that
can be completed within existing work zones.
• Project Delivery Consistency — all repairs would be managed by the MAX constriction
management team, which would provide consistent control of the schedule, provide
consistent public outreach efforts, and minimize the impacts to citizens due to multiple
mobilizations of different contractors.
• Achieves SMP Critical Path — It is crucial that Streets complete critical path concrete
efforts for their 2013 project this spring. Mason work is not critical path from a Streets
perspective, as the paving won't be complete until September. The Phase I and II
concrete efforts need to start on the critical path projects, not Mason.
I believe the amount of $220,240.42 is very reasonable for the work prescribed and as such, I
recommend approval of this change order.

Subject: RE: NRRC Pedestrian Ramp Slope
Andrew,
I should be in at 8AM tomorrow.
Joe O'Day left me a message about this, and I tried calling back without success. We improved the ramp
slope situation a little (most of the ramps are at 8.17%), but the top ramps on each side are still at
8.33%. We need to leave the columns where they are, but we can adjust the end landings a little, pushing
them up to 1' north and south, and lengthening the intermediate ramps to up to 31' in length (overall
ramp structure length then increases to as much as 83' from 81'). This would result in max. 8.07% slopes
at the top ramp runs, and 7.91% slopes for a majority of the ramps.
We would also slide the on -grade stairs on sheet 30 a foot to the north, and adjust the ground level
landing on sheet 31 a foot to the north make up those differences.
This adjustment (full 1' adjustments) to the landing locations will add approximately 6.75 CY of concrete
to the ramps, and would add 40 LF to the overall pedestrian railing length.
We can discuss this more in the morning.

Do you have a couple minutes to chat tomorrow morning regarding the NRRC pedestrian ramp slopes? It looks like Rick
and I have some time available at 8:00 am in the morning if you would be available.
I know we talked about this previously about allowing a little flexibility in the ramps so that while constructing they
won't get off steeper than 8.33% but can't remember if we ended up lengthening the ramps a foot or two.
Let me know if you have any availability.

area to the west. The ramp layouts will be aligned to minimize impacts to
existing utilities, sidewalks, and pedestrian accesses.
2. A plan view, elevation view, and typical section for each ramp alternative will
be developed, meeting ADA requirements and in conformance, as is feasible,
with the City of Fort Collins Design Guidelines for Grade -Separated
Pedestrian, Cyclist and Equestrian Structures.
3. Architectural renderings for each ramp alternative will be developed,
representing the geometric requirements for the ramps, the architectural
details and finishes anticipated to fit the theme of the existing bridge design,
and providing a relative scale of the structure to the site surroundings.
4. Document potential impacts to existing right-of-way and easement
boundaries for accommodating the ramp layout.
5. Architectural and Engineering Exhibits in .pdf format, 11 x17 color plots, and
larger plots (up to 36"x42") will be provided.
6. Develop conceptual level construction cost estimates for each ramp
alternative.
Phase 2 - Ramp Final Design
If one of the ramp layouts is found to be a feasible alternative to the west plaza elevator,
the existing pedestrian bridge plans will be updated as required. It is anticipated that a
second F.O.R. meeting would be scheduled with CDOT, and appropriate City
representatives, to review the pedestrian bridge design with the ramp alternative.
Integrating the ramp into the pedestrian bridge design will require modifications to the
structural, architectural, drainage, electrical, site plans, and landscaping plans. The
attached fee summary indicates the anticipated tasks required for the disciplines
conducted by FHU and its subconsultants, The Abo Group (Architecture) and the
Scan lon-Szynskie Group (Lighting and Electrical).
In general, the scope of work will be as follows:
1. Refine the conceptual ramp layout as needed to complete final design
2. Incorporate the final structural ramp design, and update all plans as needed
3. Review all environmental clearances, and update information as appropriate
for the revised design
4. Modify drainage, water quality, and erosion control features as necessary for
the updated design, and to meet the latest CDOT and City requirements
5. Adjust the west plaza site plan to accommodate the ramp layout
6. Update the specifications, as needed, for an F.O.R. meeting, then
advertisement. It has been assumed that the current CDOT 2005 Standard
"Blue" Book, and all associated Standard Special provisions will be used for
the final design. However, it is our understanding that a new CDOT Standard
may be available in early 2011. The Standard used for the project
advertisement set will depend on the scheduled advertisement date.

Bill,
Per our conversation earlier today, our fee to revise the FOR plans to indicate the 450 linear feet of
pedestrian ramp in lieu of an elevator is a not to exceed amount of $6,000.00, to be charged on an
hourly basis. This amount is for the plan revisions only. We do not anticipate any meetings.
Thanks,
