Study Brief In addition to the Cultural Facilities Master Plan, the City of Fort Collins wishes to consider how Lincoln Center might become a more self-sustaining operation by considering various aspects of its current operations, how expenses might be reduced and, most importantly, how additional revenues might be generated in order to reduce the City's annual operating subsidy. Proposed Scope of Services We would offer the following services in respect of that brief: Organizational Audit: Conduct an audit of the organization, including its programming, rental activities, operations, audience development efforts, fundraising, facility maintenance, staffing and financial performance. We would ask -for the City's help in assembling extensive information on the facility and its operation, also with the scheduling of interviews with staff, volunteer leadership, facility users and other key constituents. Market Opportunities: Apply the work we do in the first part of our Facilities master Plan to identify market opportunities for Lincoln Center in terms of programming, presenting and rental activities. Within this analysis, consider competition for Lincoln Center in the sectors of arts and entertainment, as well as meeting and special event business. Comparable Projects: Conduct research on comparable arts and meeting facilities across the country, looking for ideas and approaches that might be appropriate in Fort Collins given market conditions, competitive pressures and financial constraints. Competitive Positioning: Develop a positioning strategy for Lincoln Center as a programming, presenting and rental facility. Operational Recommendations: Present recommendations coming out of our analysis on [programming and presenting strategies, audience development, managing the rental business, facility management, overall staffing requirements, fundraising, leadership development and community relations, Pro -forma Operating Budget: Extend the current Lincoln Center budget forward for five years to show the implementation of our recommendations and their impacts on both the revenue and expense side of the budget. Critical Path Plan: Create a critical path plan for Lincoln Center staff and leadership that identifies key milestones and deadlines towards the implementation of our recommendations. Final Report & Presentation: Present the findings and recommendations of the study and deliver a draft report. Incorporate feedback and then issue a final report. 03 City of Fort Collins With its significant history in the arts; its depth in both performing and visual arts organizations; physical facilities that are in need of upgrade and/or expansion; and a resident population who has expressed strong support for arts and cultural activities in Fort Collins, the City is well poised to undertake a comprehensive cultural facilities master plan. This plan, supported by a needs assessment and a solid financial underpinning, will assist the City in evaluating and prioritizing what cultural facilities are needed in the futurebothto establish Fort Collins as a cultural hub —as well as to foster ongoing economic development efforts. In general, our approach includes the following: • The case for new cultural facilities depends on the demand from audiences, programs and facility users exceeding the supply of available venues. The case can also be made for such facilities if the arts are seen as a way for the community to achieve broader goals. Thus, our challenge is to understand demand and supply issues, as well as the potential role of the arts in community development. • The success of arts facilities is best measured by how they respond to the needs and interests of the specific community. We must therefore, gain a keen understanding of the market in and around Fort Collins in order to guide the development of facilities, organizations and cultural infrastructure. Not only must the current climate be understood, but we must have a sense of what the community will look like five, ten and twenty years from today. (Given the participation of Bruce Hendee, principal of BHA Design in this effort, as well as the current experience of Duncan Webb of Webb Management Services working in Fort Collins, we begin this effort with a basic level of understanding of the community and its future.) • The process must be as inclusive and open as possible, to allow for all voices to be heard. • Physical, operating and fundraising perspectives are critical and inter- related. The study must bring these different perspectives to bear on the basic question of whether new facilities make sense and how they can succeed artistically and financially on an ongoing basis. • Most cultural facilities today involve some form of partnership in either their development and/or their ongoing operations. We therefore use the study Process as a means to .-nvestigate potential partnership opportunities and, when appropriate, advance them to a written agreement. • The experience of other communities and organizations can help to build a compelling case regarding how to develop and operate new facilities, if understood against the particular qualities and character of the Fort Collins community. • Understanding competition for arts and cultural facilities is a critical issue. We must have a keen sense of who the other players are and the alternative choices available to ticket buyers, touring programs and funders in the region. Then our challenge is to develop a project (or projects) with a strong positioning strategy that makes it unique and compelling. • Developing a program that clearly outlines the types, sizes and configurations of spaces within proposed facilities is important to the process, not only in conveying how the facilities might be used, but also what they will cost to construct and operate. So too, is establishing the level of quality that is envisioned. Workshop Process • We begin our process day one with an understanding of the costs to construct these facilities, balancing these with realistic assumptions of what might be possible in a given community. Nothing is more disappointing to all involved then to develop concepts for various facilities that everyone fully embraces but then must be significantly pared down to meet budget parameters. We therefore, continue to tailor and refine our space programs so that they are aligned with potential financial resources. • Pro -forma operating budgets, developed years before a building opens, are inherently volatile, mostly as they relate to projections of activity. Given this volatility, our approach is to conservatively estimate activity levels and then provide for an extended period of time in which activity can build. • The only thing certain with these studies is change, and we must be flexible enough in our recommendations to encourage and allow for new opportunities as they arise. • Our studies are not intended to sit on a bookshelf, but rather to be a well -used guide and roadmap for those charged with turning our projects into reality. The following is a preliminary scope of work, further delineating the tasks that have been outlined in the RFP. Based on our experience with similar projects in similar communities, we suggest a three phased approach, allowing the City to make key decisions at the conclusion of each phase that will then inform subsequent phases. Phase One - Needs Assessment The Needs Assessment determines the fundamental feasibility of the project, and describes recommended facilities in terms of size, shape and possible costs. To accomplish this, we undertake the following tasks: COMPARABLE COMMUNITIES/COMPARABLE PROJECTS: Research similar projects in communities comparable to Fort Collins to inform the development and operation of proposed new facilities. Identify the "mix" of cultural programming and facilities that make these communities successful, Key areas of research include history of the arts and arts development (infrastructure, facilities, funding), capacity and market potential, development models, governance, formation of partnerships and the relative strength of the arts communities. :MATERIALS REVIE'"N: Review any previous studies on the arts market, arts activity and the need for new facilities, including plans for indoor or outdoor facilities for performance, production, exhibition or education. This would include the study Arts & Economic Prosperity - The Economic Impact of Nonprofit Arts Organizations and Their Audiences in Fort Collins, the Cultural Arts Public Opinion Survey undertaken by the City and Arts Alive!, the program entitled "Beet Street", plans by the Bohemian Foundation for a music venue along the river, and other relevant studies and plans. WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING: To insure that our efforts are neither duplicating nor conflicting with other ongoing cultural planning efforts in Fort Collins and to insure a comprehensive set of recommendations, we will seek out and meet with other consultants currently working on arts and/or redevelopment planning efforts throughout the City and the region to understand their efforts and to share both our initial findings as well as final recommendations and conclusions. EXISTING CULTURAL FACILITY ASSESSMENTS: Consider the use and evaluate the condition of other existing (or planned) arts facilities in Fort Collins and the immediate region to suggest the quality of those facilities, their use and availability, their rental costs, and any gaps in that inventory. Also consider the impact of possible new facilities on the market and operation of existing facilities. ARTS COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT: Meet with community cultural and arts organizations in Fort Collins to assess: • The history of attendance, funding and growth • Their need for new or expanded facilities • Their capacity to grow, expand and work together • Their capacity to afford new facilities • The leadership and funding of the arts OTHER FACILITY USES AND USERS: Meet individually or in a workshop setting with businesses, independent artists, regional presenters, entertainment providers, facility operators, educators, and community leaders to assess the demand for new facilities and the potential levels of use. AUDIENCE (MARKET; ANALYSIS: Using any and all existing local and regional data (including the Cultural Arts Public Opinion Survey), describe and understand the market for the arts —past, present and future —in terms of demo- graphics, geo-demographics and general characteristics including the following: • Market Area Definition and Demographic Analysis: Define the resident market for the arts and describe that population in terms of size, rate of growth and demographic factors such as education level, age, disposable income and race. • Geo-demographic Analysis: Using the PRIZM model developed by Claritas, which defines the population in terms of specific variables that play into potential arts attendance, investigate the presence of active arts participants in the market area and their capacity to support additional cultural facilities. • Non-resident Audiences: Consider the size and characteristics of the non-resident segment of the market. Test the attractiveness of this market segment in terms of the development plans of area arts organizations, potential presenters and community cultural and economic goals. COMMUNITY GOALS: Assess Fort Collin's goals based on the review of materials and interviews with community leaders. Understand the basic question of where the community hopes to be in five, ten and twenty years. BENEFITS AND h,1PACTS: Based on the above, determine if and how the arts can play a role in those goals, including such issues as economic impact, educational opportunities and cultural tourism. Understand the relative importance of the arts and culture in broader community goals and how that relationship affects the demand for new facilities. FACILITY CONCEPTS: Based on the analysis described above, provide conclusions and recommendations regarding the types of facilities that should be planned for. This includes defining the nature of these facilities and the functions they might serve. As part of this, we also recommend how Lincoln Center fits into the overall plan for facilities and what options might be considered as part of its renovations that would enhance the City's cultural offerings. WORKSHOP ONE. Present the findings and recommendations of the Needs Assessment and deliver a report/ power point including all findings, conclusions and recommendations. Assist the client in the evaluation of possible directions and priorities for the project. Phase Two - Refinement of Priorities The purpose of Phase Two is to further develop the top priorities as they have been identified by the City. This includes developing concepts for the proposed facilities, including refining the size and type of spaces being proposed, establishing criteria for site selection andf'or identifying potential sites, developing an approach to how parking needs will be met and establishing an overall cost model for construction and implementation. To accomplish this, we: PREPARE SPACE PROGRAMS FOR NEW OR RENOVATED FACILITIES: Based on the artistic needs that have been identified, we will prepare space programs outlining the types, sizes, seat counts and general configuration of the rooms and spaces that will comprise new cultural facilities. The programs will illustrate the net square footage for each facility as well as the number of people to be accommodated. It will also provide estimated net to gross ratios that will determine the overall size of the facilities. As port of this, we will discuss with the City their expectations regarding the quality of these facilities, including their theatrical and acoustical components as this will have an effect on the anticipated construction costs. DETERMINE SITE, LOCATION AND LAND AREA CRITERIA: We will develop criteria that will assist the City in identifying potential sites for the location of the new cultural facilities. Criteria will include but not be limited to parcel size and configuration, opportunities for expansion, access via major roadways and transportation systems, existing parking and/or opportunities for new parking, visibility and adjacent land uses and activities. We will also discuss with the City the opportunity that new facilities can have in generating complimentary activities, serving as a catalyst for development. DEVELOP PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATES: We will prepare a total project cost model for the implementation of proposed cultural facilities. The cost model will include estimated hard costs such as site work, new building construction (on a square footage basis for various components of the facilities), renovation (if appropriate) landscape, design contingencies, construction contingencies and escalation. It will also include soft costs, such as fixed furniture and equipment, acoustical, theatrical and audio visual equipment, fees, permits and anticipated owner costs. This will allow the City to understand the full magnitude of financial commitments to make these projects a reality. WORKSHOP TWO: Present the findings and recommendations of the Phase Two work effort and deliver a report/power point including all findings, conclusions and recommendations. Assist the client in the evaluation of possible directions for the project. Phase Three - Business Planning and Fundraising The third component of the work is the development of a preliminary business and funding plan that suggests how recommended facilities should be operated, estimates their initial and ongoing operational costs and projects their financial performance and economic impacts on the community. DEFINE GOALS AND PRACTICES: Define the vision and operating goals for proposed facilities, covering such areas as community access, cost -recovery objectives and maximizing community benefits. ACTIVITY PROFILE: Prepare an activity profile for recommended facilities, listing types and levels of use by -artists, organizations, educators and other specific groups, then identifying other uses for recommended facilities. GOVERNANCE AND OPERATIONS: Propose an operating model for recommended facilities, addressing ownership, governance, staffing requirements, and operating issues such as community access, scheduling and public events. If appropriate, consider the role of existing institutions in the development and operation of new facilities. PRO -FORMA OPERATING BUDGET: Construct a pro forma operating budget for five years of operations, starting two years before new facilities open and extending through the third year of operation, identifying all sources of operating revenues and expenses, an appropriate capital reserve and the likely result of operations. FUNDING OPTIONS: Develop a preliminary strategy to pursue funds for the construction and continuing operation of recommended facilities from identified sources including local and regional government, federal government, corporations, foundations and individuals. Offer preliminary guidance on the creation of a funding plan, and how to use the study as a fundraising tool. ECONOMIC IMPACT: Forecast the economic impact of new facilities, including the impacts of construction, operation and ancillary spending associated with attendance at facilities. Use the RIMS II model developed by the Bureau of Economic Analysis to estimate the direct and indirect impacts of the project on the market area, including outputs, increased earnings and employment. Present the findings and recommendations of the study and deliver a final report/power point including all findings, conclusions and recommendations. DESCRIPTION OF CLIENT ASSISTANCE: Client participation is critical to the success of a study such as this. From a practical point of view, we typically seek assistance with setting up interviews, touring facilities, gaining access to key community leaders, and accessing existing information on the community. It is also our experience that greater participation by the Client leads to consensus building, a stronger identification with recommendations, and greater momentum to move the project forward. In this context, we will make every attempt to plan our meetings well ahead of time and to allow extensive time with each of the partnering organizations as well as other elements of community leadership.

Standard Professional Services Agreement- rev 09/01/06 6 THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS, COLORADO By: Ja es B. O'Neill II, CPPO, FNIGP Direct of Purchasing & Risk Management DATE: 7ZD 6 By: Title: `C K-V51 OU# 7C-- CORPORATE PRESIDENT OR VICE PRESIDENT �, Date: l 1, !/0 (O A 4- " (Corporate Seal) C&pVaM Secretary Standard Professional Services Agreement- rev 09/01/06 EXHIBIT A SCOPE The City of Fort Collins' Cultural Services Department seeks proposals for a needs assessment and feasibility study for the evaluation and prioritization of future cultural facilities in the City. The intended purpose of this study is to assess community cultural facility needs and to determine whether there is a market to sustain existing and new cultural facilities. Background Information Fort Collins has a strong history in the performing arts, and in fact presents more performing arts events than its larger neighbors Boulder and Colorado Springs combined. Fort Collins has over 30 non-profit performing arts groups, four theatres, over 400 visual artists living and working here, the Fort Collins Museum of Contemporary Art, Fort Collins Museum (history and culture), and the only hands-on science center in the state. The City has an active ten -year -old Art in Public Places program and the Cultural Resources Board awards grants to local cultural events three times per year. In 2001, the voters defeated an initiative to build a new 2200 seat theatre in downtown Fort Collins, which was bundled with a new library and renovations to the Fort Collins Museum. It is still uncertain as the reason for the failed initiative; whether the occurrences of September 11 and subsequent . economic downturn were to blame, or if the lack of choice in the bundling or the projects themselves were disagreeable to voters. Since that time, there have been many changes in Fort Collins: retail sales are declining as neighboring communities grow their retail sectors; the marketplace is becoming more regional; a new 5,000 seat Budweiser Events Center was constructed at the new Larimer County Fair Grounds just outside of Fort Collins; Colorado State University opened the University Center for the Arts including a chamber music hall and thrust theatre; Bas Blau Theatre relocated to a new, larger facility; and our area's population continues to rapidly grow. The City has expressed a strong interest in establishing Fort Collins as a cultural hub, a destination for culture and the arts, which would serve as an economic engine and potentially generate additional revenue. In November of 2005, voters approved the renewal of a sales tax dedicated to capital projects. The tax will fund a variety of projects and includes $6 million towards a new downtown facility for the Fort Collins Museum and Discovery Science Center and $5 million towards renovating the City's performing arts center, the Lincoln Center. The City is also currently contracting services to develop a brand and messaging program for the community. The Downtown Development Authority is investing in cultural programming through a "Chautauqua" like program called "Beet Street". The program revolves around themed week-long, day -time educational opportunities supplemented by arts and entertainment evening activities. The Bohemian Foundation is developing a music venue in downtown along the river at a site commonly known as the Oxbow. With this flurry of recent activity and the commitment to developing Fort Collins' niche as culture and the arts, it became clear that a comprehensive plan was needed. The City's Cultural Services Department and Arts Alive! Fort Collins began a cultural planning effort. To date, the planning process included surveying the community on their values around culture and the arts (visit www.artsalivefc.org to view survey), an inventory of existing cultural entities and resources, a community forum on how to forward this idea, and the formation of a task force and advisors around sustainable funding. The next step in this process is to evaluate what kind of cultural facilities with what type of programming are needed and can be sustained in order to move Fort Collins towards its goal of being a destination for culture and the arts. 03 SCOPE OF WORK 1. Identify comparable communities that successfully serve as a cultural hub. Identify the "mix' of cultural programming and facilities that makes these communities successful. 2. Identify existing cultural facilities within Fort Collins, and determine the scope of their services. Meet with community cultural and arts organizations to determine their need for facilities 3. Confirm the size, characteristics, and growth potential of the market to support additional cultural, performing and entertainment programs and facilities. 4. Recommend needed cultural and/or arts facilities, defining the nature of those facilities: the functions they might serve and programming; optimal size; features and location. 5. Prioritize the recommended facilities based on our goals and values, and further develop the top priorities. • Complete market and economic impact analysis for top priority facilities. • Develop projected costs associated with the implementation of the top priority facilities, including capital cost estimates and ongoing operating expenses. • Assess the regional market potential to support such facilities. • Recommend funding options for capital and sustainable funding for on -going operations 6. Recommend how our existing performing arts center, the Lincoln Center, fits into the overall plan and what options might be considered as part of its renovations which are being planned for 2010. 7. Seek out consultants currently working on other cultural projects in Fort Collins to share findings and information to assure the best, comprehensive results for the plan and our community. 8. Provide baseline research and recommendations that future planning efforts can effectively utilize. 9. The Lincoln Center will be seeking a Business Plan consultant during the same time frame as the Cultural Facilities Plan project. The City of Fort Collins would like to reserve the option to include that project into the awarded consultant's Scope of Work, if agreed to by both parties at that time. Do not include the Business Plan as a component of the Cultural Facilities Plan estimate. Terms and cost would be negotiated separately. Project completion is desired by December 31, 2006. Proposal submittals should address the specific tasks and the firm's qualifications to complete the tasks. Estimates of work hours, cost per task and hourly rates must be included. 03
