The selected Consultant(s) firm / team must have completed, through construction, a minimum of three (3) other similar projects and provide information about each project individually. A brief history and current status of this project is as follows. The vision of developing a water craft/kayak course in the Downtown area of Fort Collins at the old Power Plant was identified in the City Council adopted Downtown River Corridor Implementation Plan (DRCIP). The DRCIP was adopted on July 18, 2000. The course would be located in the area downstream of the old Power Plant Dam and Coy Diversion structure to a take out area at the BNSF Railroad trestle. A conceptual plan for the water craft course was developed during the DRCIP process. The old Power Plant Dam and Coy Diversion structure is a major structure located just downstream of the North College Avenue bridge. This structure was modified in the mid 1980's to allow for water craft passage. However, it only accommodated passage at the very peak of river flows and was impassable at other times. A downstream boat chute drop structure was installed in 1999 to create a water pool below the Diversion. This pool created a needed higher water surface elevation below the diversion structure making the passage of water craft possible. The proposed water craft course will require the installation of boulder structures downstream to complete the course. The new area of the course will be approximately 300 feet long. The total length of the course from the North College Avenue Bridge to the railroad trestle is about 800 feet. A sandbar area immediately downstream of the railroad trestle offers a potential egress access or take-out point. A path will be required from the designated take-out point to a point along the side of the City's paved Poudre River Trail for users to return to the starting point of the course. SCOPE OF WORK The chosen Consultant(s) firm / team shall work closely with the City, the kayak community, the City's consultant responsible for the floodplain analysis process (Anderson Consulting Engineers, Fort Collins, CO), and the City's environmental consultant (Walsh Environmental Scientists and Engineers, Boulder, CO), to provide the design drawings and specifications for the project. The following is an outline of a general scope of work. The Consultant(s) firm / team should expand each of the following major work items into specific tasks, as well as add any additional items and tasks that would be necessary to assure an excellent overall product. 2/9/00 A. Site analysis, inventory and evaluation of the river. B. Determination of the desired features, from the kayak community, to be installed in the river. C. Determination of access and bank improvements including bank stabilization analysis and measures (vegetation, riprap, etc.). D. Combination of meetings with staff and the kayak community. This process will need to be supported, at a minimum, by graphics displays and renderings, maps, and other visual materials. E. Preparation of the conceptual, preliminary and final drawings in an electronic and/or AutoCAD compatible format, construction specifications in CSI format or an approved alternate format, and cost estimates for each design phase of the project. F. Coordinate efforts with the hydraulic modeling consultant to achieve an acceptable design to both FEMA and the City of Fort Collins Storm Water Division. The hydraulic modeling consultant is scoped for two iterations of modeling adjustments for the proposed design of the Water Course. G. Coordinate efforts with the environmental consultant and process to achieve an acceptable design. H. Meet or exceed the criteria of all applicable local, state, and federal regulatory agency requirements. I. Develop and maintain a project schedule. J.

The selected Consultant(s) firm / team must have completed, through construction, a minimum of three (3) other similar projects and provide information about each project individually. A brief history and current status of this project is as follows. The vision of developing a water craft/kayak course in the Downtown area of Fort Collins at the old Power Plant was identified in the City Council adopted Downtown River Corridor Implementation Plan (DRCIP). The DRCIP was adopted on July 18, 2000. The course would be located in the area downstream of the old Power Plant Dam and Coy Diversion structure to a take out area at the BNSF Railroad trestle. A conceptual plan for the water craft course was developed during the DRCIP process. The old Power Plant Dam and Coy Diversion structure is a major structure located just downstream of the North College Avenue bridge. This structure was modified in the mid 1980's to allow for water craft passage. However, it only accommodated passage at the very peak of river flows and was impassable at other times. A downstream boat chute drop structure was installed in 1999 to create a water pool below the Diversion. This pool created a needed higher water surface elevation below the diversion structure making the passage of water craft possible. The proposed water craft course will require the installation of boulder structures downstream to complete the course. The new area of the course will be approximately 300 feet long. The total length of the course from the North College Avenue Bridge to the railroad trestle is about 800 feet. A sandbar area immediately downstream of the railroad trestle offers a potential egress access or take-out point. A path will be required from the designated take-out point to a point along the side of the City's paved Poudre River Trail for users to return to the starting point of the course. SCOPE OF WORK The chosen Consultant(s) firm / team shall work closely with the City, the kayak community, the City's consultant responsible for the floodplain analysis process (Anderson Consulting Engineers, Fort Collins, CO), and the City's environmental consultant (Walsh Environmental Scientists and Engineers, Boulder, CO), to provide the design drawings and specifications for the project. The following is an outline of a general scope of work. The Consultant(s) firm / team should expand each of the following major work items into specific tasks, as well as add any additional items and tasks that would be necessary to assure an excellent overall product. 2/9/00 A. Site analysis, inventory and evaluation of the river. B. Determination of the desired features, from the kayak community, to be installed in the river. C. Determination of access and bank improvements including bank stabilization analysis and measures (vegetation, riprap, etc.). D. Combination of meetings with staff and the kayak community. This process will need to be supported, at a minimum, by graphics displays and renderings, maps, and other visual materials. E. Preparation of the conceptual, preliminary and final drawings in an electronic and/or AutoCAD compatible format, construction specifications in CSI format or an approved alternate format, and cost estimates for each design phase of the project. F. Coordinate efforts with the hydraulic modeling consultant to achieve an acceptable design to both FEMA and the City of Fort Collins Storm Water Division. The hydraulic modeling consultant is scoped for two iterations of modeling adjustments for the proposed design of the Water Course. G. Coordinate efforts with the environmental consultant and process to achieve an acceptable design. H. Meet or exceed the criteria of all applicable local, state, and federal regulatory agency requirements. I. Develop and maintain a project schedule. J. Provide Construction services including but limited to preconstruction administration, construction monitoring, inspection, and contract administration. K. Provide information on your firm's / team's availability, and experience with other recent projects. The Consultant(s) firm / team must also have completed, through the construction phase, a minimum of three (3) other projects similar in nature and provide information about each project individually. The City will provide electronic files of aerial mapping for the project, design level existing topography, as well as other available data and informational sources.

INTRODUCTION The City of Fort Collins respectfully requests Proposals (including fees) for Professional Services for the design of a Water Craft Course (Kayak Course) along a designated section of the Poudre River. The selected Consultant(s) firm / team must have completed, through construction, a minimum of three (3) other similar projects and provide information about each project individually. A brief history and current status of this project is as follows. The vision of developing a water craft/kayak course in the Downtown area of Fort Collins at the old Power Plant was identified in the City Council adopted Downtown River Corridor Implementation Plan (DRCIP). The DRCIP was adopted on July 18, 2000. The course would be located in the area downstream of the old Power Plant Dam and Coy Diversion structure to a take out area at the BNSF Railroad trestle. A conceptual plan for the water craft course was developed during the DRCIP process. The old Power Plant Dam and Coy Diversion structure is a major structure located just downstream of the North College Avenue bridge. This structure was modified in the mid 1980's to allow for water craft passage. However, it only accommodated passage at the very peak of river flows and was impassable at other times. A downstream boat chute drop structure was installed in 1999 to create a water pool below the Diversion. This pool created a needed higher water surface elevation below the diversion structure making the passage of water craft possible. The proposed water craft course will require the installation of boulder structures downstream to complete the course. The new area of the course will be approximately 300 feet long. The total length of the course from the North College Avenue Bridge to the railroad trestle is about 800 feet. A sandbar area immediately downstream of the railroad trestle offers a potential egress access or take-out point. A path will be required from the designated take-out point to a point along the side of the City's paved Poudre River Trail for users to return to the starting point of the course. SCOPE OF WORK The chosen Consultant(s) firm / team shall work closely with the City, the kayak community, the City's consultant responsible for the floodplain analysis process (Anderson Consulting Engineers, Fort Collins, CO), and the City's environmental consultant (Walsh Environmental Scientists and Engineers, Boulder, CO), to provide the design drawings and specifications for the project.
