HomeMy WebLinkAboutRESPONSE - RFP - P1062 MAP BROCHURE DESIGN SERVICES (2)Fort Collins is located where the prairies merge with the mountains. This results in a remarkably rich diversity of wildlife in our natural areas. Wetlands, drylands, riparian forests, shortgrass prairies, foothill shrublands, and pine forests provide crucial habitat to year-round resident wildlife, as well as mi- grating animals that stop here on their journeys to other states and countries. Fort Collins natural areas also are homes for wildlife classified as endangered, threatened, or rare. There is a fine line between watching wildlife and intruding upon it. Most wildlife perceive humans as a threat. Binoculars are essential for keeping the distance between you and wildlife at a comfortable level. Watching wildlife doesn't mean using only your eyes. You often hear birds or smell skunks without ever seeing the animals. Listen for the croaking of frogs, the chirping of crickets, the rustling of small mammals scurrying through leaves on the forest floor, or the splash of a beaver's tail on a pond. Watch for signs of animals: tracks, scat, markings on trees, or trampling of vegetation.

American Bittern City of Fort Collins trails provide excellent access to wildlife viewing areas. Extensions are planned for the future. The Poudre River, Spring Creek, and Fossil Creek trails are paved and generally follow the waterways. Because of the wider riparian woods and abundance of high quality wetland habitat, wildlife is more prevalent along the Poudre River Trail than the Spring Creek Trail. The Fossil Creek Trail is adjacent to both prairie and riparian ecosystems. Don't forget to stop and enjoy the surroundings at the benches along the way. When using any trail please be considerate of other users. Bicyclists yield to hikers and horses ®� Hikers yield to horses TO Horses Horses must stay within 10 feet of the trail.

Thanks, Heidi Ochis fjGib OcGti;c Computer Terrain Mapping, Inc 1401 Walnut Street, Suite C Boulder, CO 80302 phone: 303-444-1670 email: hiho@ctmap.com Addendum 1 Map and Brochure Design Services for Natural Areas SPECIFICATIONS AND CONTRACT DOCUMENTS Description of RFP: P1062 Map and Brochure Design Services for Natural Areas OPENING DATE: 3:00 P.M. (Our Clock) February 26, 2007 To all prospective bidders under the specifications and contract documents described above, the following changes are hereby made. Questions and Answers: 1. Under the Objectives the RFP states that the map/brochure "must use Natural Areas Program Visual Identity Guidelines". What are these? These are not completely finalized, but attached is the most current draft. Things such as colors, fonts and standards for the logo will not change, but we are working on the interpretive sign and other signage section (which is why they are blank). Use these to make your proposal with the understanding that if you are awarded the contract, we can further clarify. Maps are not specifically addressed. 2. Under the Objectives # B: Would the city provide the difficulty rating and surface type or would the design firm have to identify that information? The City will determine the difficulty rating and surface type of each trail and provide that to the vendor. Vendor would help us determine a way to show this on the map (e.g. difficult trails are designated by certain colors or line designs) 3. Under the Objectives # G: What do you envision the additional graphics to include (e.g. animal photos, site photos, recreation photos?) This is unclear because the photos will follow the text, but probably the kind of photos mentioned above (wildlife, recreation and site photos). We also will likely use the trail yield symbol (City will provide) and of course, our logo. 4. Do all streets needed to be labeled? What are the size specifications? Is it okay to split the map in half, such as east side/west side? No, just major streets and ones leading to Natural Area trailheads. Size specifications are not set in stone, but just some place to start for preparing bid. Okay to split the map in half since City is open to suggestions of how to get such a large geographic area onto one piece of paper. Soapstone Prairie, Gateway and Bobcat Ridge Natural Areas, which are not shown on current "Nature Next Door" map/brochure, will need to be included in the new map/brochure.

What are the northern and southern borders of our sites? Wyoming border is northern border, just north of Loveland is southern border, eastern border is 1-25, western border is harder to determine- west of Masonville and about 5 miles up Poudre Canyon is as close as could be determined. 6. Is it okay to send samples of open space and trails maps that we've taken to print? Need set of samples for each proposal copy? Sending samples okay. We are okay with only one set unless it is easy to include with all proposal copies. Please contact David M. Carey, CPPB, C. P. M., Buyer at (970) 416-2191 with any questions regarding this addendum.

(CTM), I am pleased to submit our proposal to provide professional cartographic services for the design and production of the Fort Collins Natural Areas Program Map/Brochure. I have spent many years in Fort Collins attending undergraduate, and then Graduate school at Colorado State University, so I am very pleased to have the opportunity to contribute to a community that has had such a positive impact on my career and life. The following proposal will outline the steps and associated time to: 1. Collect the City's existing data. 2. Compile the Natural Areas map with the Natural Areas boundaries, Natural Areas names, surrounding public lands, major streets, major street names, trails (separated by surface type and difficulty rating), trail mileage, trailheads, access points and parking lots. All of the locationst data mentioned above will be provided by the City. Other information to be included on the map are a north arrow, scale and map key. 3. Layout informational side of the brochure using established design guidelines. 4. Attend 4 meetings; 1) a startup meeting to discuss data transfer, basic layout ideas, informational side content and possible map backdrop ideas (e.g., hill shading, aerial photo, etc.); 2) first draft meeting to discuss layout of both map and brochure sides for comments and edits; 3) second draft meeting to discuss layout of both map and brochure sides for comments and edits,-,4) final draft meeting to approve final layout of both sides of brochure before print production. 5. Coordinate with the printer of choice to produce between 5,000—10,000 folded map/brochures. We thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal and look forward to working with you on this project. Please contact me at (303) 444-1670 if you have any questions. Sincerely, Heidi Ochis Computer Terrain Mapping, Inc 1401 Walnut Street, Suite C Boulder, Colorado 80302 Principal in Charge Project Understanding Fort Collins, Colorado is fortunate to have citizens that care about preserving open space. They have spoken loudly by taxing themselves to fund this preservation effort. In the 14 years the Natural Areas Program has been in existence, Fort Collins citizens have helped to preserve 44 natural areas. With the recent additions of The Bobcat Ridge and Soapstone Prairie Natural Areas, having an updated and informative map will help educate and connect visitors to the value of the land they've helped preserve. Understanding the rules designed to protect these lands promotes good land stewardship. With this as a motivation, we propose to develop a brochure that will inform citizens about their Natural Areas Program lands as well as where these areas are within Fort Collins and Larimer County. Information dissemination does not have to be tedious or complicated. By presenting information in a graphically engaging way, we can pass along knowledge to the most casual reader. By developing both a map and informational panel, the readers will be armed with the knowledge needed to enjoy Fort Collins' great outdoor amenities safely and responsibly. The general tasks to create such a brochure include: • Map production • Informational content development and presentation using the established design guidelines • Digital access print ready files and possible hard copy output of the final brochure. The final map/brochure will be provided to the city as a PDF, EPS, Macromedia Freehand document or other image format as requested by the City. We have included a mock layout of the Natural Areas map. We believe adding cross sections will help illustrate the "Easy", "Moderate", and "Difficult" trail ratings. On the brochure we would suggest adding a "Peak Finder" map for the Fort Collins area along with site and wildlife photos. I have included a sample "Peak Finder" generated for Boulder County. Scope of Services Heidi Ochis will be the Project Manager for the map/brochure production. She will be the primary individual working on the graphic components of the project and participate in the review meetings. Her hourly rate is $75.00 / hour. Data assembly, trail cross -sections and any 3D image generation will be executed by Ed Russell at an hourly rate of $95.00 / hour. Scope of Services Outline Hours Task Total 32 (@ $95/hr) Data collection / data assembly. City shall provide all $3,040 data layers required on the map along with text to be used on the informational side of the brochure. We propose generating trail cross sections for all or specified trails as well as a Fort Collins Peak Finder 40(0 $75/hr) Map production. Macromedia's FreeHand software will $3,000 be used for map production. 40(0 $75/hr) Brochure graphic design and layout. The current $3,000 Design Guidelines will drive the "look" of the brochure. It will be CTM's task to organize the desired information and photographs into the established layout. The brochure will be assembled in Macromedia's FreeHand software. Final deliverables to the City will be in the form of a PDF, EPS or other graphic format requested by the City. 16(0 $75/hr) a4 Meetings. Startup, First, Second and Final Draft $1.200 meetings - Plots / Proofs. 8 — 2 sided proofs (16 total) @ $20 / plot. $320 PDF files can be posted between meetings for iterative reviews if the City has the capability to plot in-house. - Photo / Font Purchase. Estimating the possible number $1,320 of photos needed for the map/brochure, the cost assumes a purchase of 15 Royalty Free photos ($1,000). We do not currently own four of the fonts listed in the design guidelines. Assuming CTM will be responsible for purchasing these fonts, this cost also includes the purchase of Bureau Five One, Bureau Five Five, Melior and Crim fonts ($320). The dollar amount charged to the City will decrease if the number of fonts and/or photos are less than estimated. Total 128 $11,880 s Meetings can be paired down to 2 (startup and final review) with digital transfer or hard copy shipping of interim drafts. This would reduce the total number of hours to 120 and the total cost to $11280.00. CTM has priced printing options at the 171x22" size from Morrell printing in Lafayette, Colorado and a z-card option (smaller example included) at 13"x25" & 13"x37" to give you an idea of the cost to go to print. Printing Services Number of gopies 17"x22" Morrell 13"x25" z-card 13"x37" z-card 5,000 $3,080 $7,330 $8,670 10,000 $4,410 $10,350 $11,780 Corporate Profile Computer Terrain Mapping, Inc. (CTM) began as a map production company in 1988. One of our first maps is still in print today, "View to the West — The Colorado Front Range and Beyond". Since that time our focus has moved toward geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing but the presentation of this information has continued to be our trademark. Illustrating complex geographic information to laymen is a challenge that has helped set us apart from other GIS firms. This experience has fostered relationships with several high profile publications. Because of our ability to convey complex geographic data in a user friendly and engaging manner, our resume of clients includes National Geographic, National Geographic Adventure (since its inception in 1999 through today), Field and Stream, Sports Illustrated, Men's Journal, Skiing, Outside and Backpacker. We have also had maps published in several books. We work closely with several non-profit Colorado Land Trusts producing compelling graphics for fund raising events as well as public meetings. These maps help inform and enlighten citizens, donors and contributors. Boulder County and the City of Boulder have employed CTM in several educational posters including a 3D "Life Zones" traveling display that is 6'x Yand the 3D map of the Boulder Watershed. We recently finished work with the County developing "Peak Finder" maps that will be placed at 4 trailheads throughout the County. We have worked with the City of Greeley, Fort Collins and the Big Thompson Watershed Foram to generate 3D maps of water source arras modeled after a map produced for the City of Boulder. CTM has recently produced Parks and Trails maps for Cherry Hills Village and Louisville. Both projects involved the planning, design and layout for both the map and brochure sides of the finished products. Because of our GIS grounding we are able to take map data in almost any format and produce accurate and easily updated maps. For project examples we have included a single copy of the final printed maps for Cherry Hills Village and Louisville. We have included 4 copies of each of the following: a scaled down version of the Boulder Watershed map, a Boulder Peak Finder map, the Longmont United Hospital Regional Map which uses an aerial image only as a backdrop, the Alpine Loop Back County Byway map which uses terrain based hill shading with public land ownership and the Natural Areas mock up which uses a combination of aerial photography, hill shading and public land ownership.
