Long-term solutions in the South College corridor must be developed within the context of regional economic, transportation, and conservation initiatives, as well as with regional support from Larimer County and CDOT, to name a few The EDAW Team is well acquainted with regional positions and players, having had lead roles projects such as the Mason Transportation Corridor, Northern Colorado Community Separator Study, Fort Collins Regional Retail Analysis, and City Plan This provides a rare opportunity for unprecedented coordination and a focus on regional solutions A team that can productively and positively create a shared vision with affected interests. EDAW intentionally has selected in-house facilitators who understand land use and transportation, yet who can provide neutral, strategic guidance from start to finish Key to our public involvement strategy is an abbreviated 14 month schedule, so that participants can see constant progress towards their shared vision Outreach events are more closely spaced than would be possible should the project stretch for over 1 Y2 years We have proposed multiple means to promote informed consensus from the public and stakeholders The team we're putting forward have been recognized for their work in achieving consensus, such as the Governor's Quality Growth Award for Public Involvement for the West Bench General Plan, and the Daniel Burnham Award, the APA National highest policy planning award possible for PlanCheyenne A proven team with demonstrated success EDAW's most recent plans have received several awards We have been recognized because we select a team we know and trust, and we will not shy away from tackling the tough decision=, related to growth We have worked for years with FHU, Stantec, and EPS on a number of award -winning projects, such as the East Mulberry Corridor Plan that received a Chapter Award by Colorado APA We look forward to your favorable response Best Regards, Bruce Meighen, AICP Jeremy Call, RLA Principal -in -Charge Project Manager EDAW I AECOM SOUTH COLLEGE CORRIDOR PLAN I1-1 Project Understanding INTRODUCTION Constraints and challenges for the South College area are numerous: lack of business unity, non- or sub -standard infrastructure, the controversial nature of the annexation, auto -oriented uses, mid -block accesses, little or no streetscape and pedestrian access safety features and amenities, and accident rates nearly twice that of North College Avenue. Al the same time, the area benefits from many unique opportunities and assets, including niche retail shops, expansive views, rural neighborhoods, Fossil Creek Trail, the Mason Corridor South Transit Center, creeks and natural areas, neighborhood interest and involvement, underutilized properties ripe for redevelopment, and large greenfield properties ready for the market. APPROACH TO COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT We understand the area's annexation history as part of the Southwest Enclave Annexation; it has been within the City's Growth Management Area since 1980. This area of South College Avenue., stretching from Harmony Road to Carpenter Road contains 14 subdivisions, approximately 1,000 households, 3,100 residents, and 100 businesses. Though highly contested, the annexation was approved by City Council in 2006, and upheld by City voters in April of 2007. The annexation process will occur in four phases continuing through 2014. The Kel-Mar commercial strip flanking College Avenue between Fossil Ridge Parkway to just south of Trilby Road, was part of the first acquisition, and is currently considered to be within the City Limits of Fort Collins. The next phase will include Fairway Estates and Pitner Estates Subdivisions and is set to occur in 2007, We see the contentious history of the annexation as an asset to this process. Organized groups have already coalesced, the dust has settled, and many stakeholders are now interested in future of the corridor. As the RFP states, this plan is focused on stimulating reinvestment, redevelopment and high -quality new development, conservation, and access control from Harmony Road to Carpenter Road. The critical key is tt I i I I � . - ,...... ,. on.... s e Mgoreo, , PHASE —wlwne Q, n' W�E Southwest Enclave Annexation Phases creating a plan that meets the objectives of the various stakeholders involved, including the City, business and property owners, residents, CDOT, and the broader community, as well as identifying a vision that is exciting and new. This vision will change the area's image give it an identity and purpose, and replace old patterns of thinking with a new energy. We welcome input from users throughout the planning process because that input educates the team to issues, facts, and stories that we might otherwise miss. Further, it builds stronger ownership of the plan and, ultimately, of the built environment. We believe in, and have included in our scope, stakeholder interviews, multiple public workshops, one-on-one briefings, public hearings, and other means to promote consensus from the public and stakeholders. EDAW INC CESIG% PLANNING ANG EN'VIRONMENIS bEERLOWICE 1-2 1 SOUIH COLLEGE CORRIDOR PLAN At project start-up, it is important to establish the broad outlines of the public outreach strategy, including: Previous City outreach findings (what has worked, what has not). When to include face-to-face communication between the City staff group/project team and the general public (lectures, public meetings, open houses, charrettes), and with what goals in mind. How to effectively work with existing civic and community organizations (neighborhood and homeowner associations, community groups, service clubs, and advocacy groups) and to what end. When to use mass communication (newsletters, press releases, press conferences, mailings) and with what goals in mind. How to use electronic communication (websites, email distribution lists) and for what purpose. BUILDING ON EXISTING PLANS The corridor has been studied, inventoried, and planned in the past five years, and our intent is to build upon and implement wherever possible relevant plans. Previous stakeholder input, policy guidance from City Plan, and preferred solutions in the South College Avenue Access Control Plan and Mason Transportation Plan, form the point -of -departure for a shared vision and land use scenarios. Keeping in mind the Short -Term and Long - Range access plans for this corridor, land planning for US 287 will use the access plans as a framework for identifying access opportunities and constraints relative to the introduction of new parcels or the redevelopment of existing land uses. Both the Short -Term and Long -Range access plans were developed with the goal of providing safe and convenient access for existing land and business owners, while making use of opportunities to provide good circulation and access as this area of Fort Collins redevelops over time. We will also apply leading -edge thinking about the integration of land use and transportation, by including elements such as gateway design, and suggesting redevelopment and strategic investment options to promote this area as one of the community's future economic development districts. BEGINNING WITH THE END IN MIND Our approach and scope is designed to: • Build a trusting, positive relationship between business and property owners, residents and the City; • Channel energy into creating and implementing a shared vision for the corridor; • Recommend changes to future land uses or zoning to address specific sites or to adjust to the shared Vision; • Accelerate the implementation of City Plan, the South College Avenue Access Control Plan and Mason Transportation Corridor Plan, and US 287/South College Avenue Bicycle Lane Project; • Balance community separation, parks, trails, and natural areas with other community desires; • Visualize community desires for an attractive, cohesive streetscape and southern gateway to the City; • Determine the appropriateness and market feasibility of the City's development standards to the redevelopment of strategic properties; • Prioritize necessary improvements; • Identify funding needs, sources, and mechanisms for infrastructure and services, and; • Ensure informed consensus and smooth adoption by governing boards with advocacy from affected interests. With these goals in mind, several issues and questions need to be resolved as part of this process, such as: Placemaking. The corridor is seen by many motorists as a gateway to southern Fort Collins, surrounded by well -established neighborhoods, natural areas, and trails. How does growth in this area fit into the larger Fort Collins — Loveland community? How can the southern gateway into Fort Collins be enhanced? What are appropriate streetscape, site, and architectural styles? What is the role of this area relative to other economic development corridors like South College (north of Harmony Road in Fort Collins, US 287 in Loveland, and Harmony Road in the immediate area? Can the project capitalize on unique market niches, such as antique stores, that can give this area a distinct identity? How should the plan address the magnetism between Fort Collins and Loveland, and potential modifications to the Fort Collins Growth Management Area, if at all?

What transportation and urban design issues need to be considered to maximize safe and convenient east -west and north -south pedestrian circulation? How can natural systems and linkages be enhanced to help promote a pedestrian and bicycle - friendly environment? What is the future of transit and the possibility of transit -oriented development? Time Frame. What is the acceptable and likely time frame for redevelopment and new development? Are there short-term safety and access control needs versus build - out land use expectations?

How can the recreation, visual, and environmental assets associated with Fossil Creek, wetlands, and ridgelines be leveraged to attract redevelopment and reinvestment? What is the appropriateness of new open space conservation in the context of the region (foothills to Fossil Creek Reservoir corridors), the corridor (existing natural areas and commercial development patterns), and specific sites (access, constrained lands)? Sustainability. Discussions regarding economic, social, and environmental sustainability are integral to our planning process. Social sustainability is accomplished through a democratic process of defining and creating real, livable places. Economic sustainability results from a combination of attracting viable uses and balancing the cost equation over a sustained period. Ecological sustainability, is addressed through the sensitive integration of land uses and design solutions. Questions that could arise include: Can this be a model development to demonstrate Best Management Practices (e.g. LEED-ND or better)? How can storm drainage, recreational systems and ecological functions be mutually beneficial? Can innovative ideas such as local power generation, water quality BMPs, or designing to an overall site water budget be considered? What kinds of tools can be used to supplement first -costs in order to decrease long-term operations and maintenance costs? FDAW INC W SIGN PI ANNIi (; ALL) I Nvni )NIII NI $ V OHS I]`N,I]I SOUTH COLLEGE CORRIDOR PLAN 12-1 Scope + Schedule EDAW will lead in preparing the South College Corridor Plan, providing project management, public outreach, land use planning, urban and streetscape design, GIS and graphic support, and parks and open space planning. Our team of EPS, FHU, and Stantec will work with the City to complete the four phases outlined in the RFP, as described in the scope of work. The overall approach can be characterized as one that maximizes opportunities for public input and results in a community -driven plan. PHASE 1. PROJECT START-UP / INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS Task 1.1 - Confirm Work Program, Schedule, and Public Involvement Plan The EDAW team will coordinate project initiation, data collection, establish a Public Involvement Plan (PIP), budget and project schedule. City staff will refine the membership of a Technical Advisory Committee JAC), and assist in compiling existing information, including previous public outreach findings. A project kick-off meeting with the project management team and project manager representatives from the City of Fort Collins will occur to complete the following subtasks: • Finalize the detailed work program pertaining to the EDAW team and staff tasks, budget, and the project schedule. • Establish document formats, team directory and reporting requirements. The EDAW team will create a team directory, and will utilize e-mail as a primary form of communication amongst team members and client contacts. • Refine the membership of the Technical Advisory Committee. • Refine the list of business, property owner, and residential stakeholders. • Obtain any additional background information: reports, base maps, CIS data, topography, and current development plans. Available utility mapping will be reviewed, including potable water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage facilities, natural gas, electricity and telecommunications. Involving affected interests in meaningful, positive ways and demonstrating consensus for and progress toward a shared vision are absolutely essential in this project. The EDAW team will prepare a comprehensive Public Involvement Plan (PIP) to outline City and EDAW strategies and responsibilities in public outreach. EDAW's public involvement plan will be tailored so that property owners and nearby residents drive the Plan's vision. It is anticipated that the involvement methods will include stakeholder interviews, two rounds of on -site workshops, presentations to City Council and Planning Commission, an optional on -site City StoreFront, and a variety of communication pieces (press releases, postcards, website, etc.). EDAW assumes the City will arrange for notification, meeting logistics, scheduling for public outreach events. For cost estimating purposes, EDAW will provide a project logo and web -ready graphics as they are produced for postcards, newsletters, and/or a project website to be managed by the City. EDAW will also prepare three press releases at project milestones for City review and distribution. During the kick-off meeting, we will also define communication protocols with the client group. We anticipate that projects of this scale often include coordination calls weekly by the project manager, and have included meetings every month with the City staff group. Conference calls may also occur between key EDAW Team members and City staff in order to focus on individual items that may arise during the planning process. Deliverables: Public Involvement Plan, Final Budget, Final Project Schedule, Final TAG and Stakeholder Rosters Meetings: TAG 1 Task 1.2 - Confirm Givens and Prioritize Issues Given the area's contentious history associated with annexation, it will be imperative to articulate previous decisions and applicable regulations early, to both keep the project focused on a future vision rather than past EDAW INC DES16N PLANNING AND ENVIRONiUFNTS b%JRIDN/IDE 2-2 I SOUTH COLL F GE CORRIDOR PLAN decisions. In conjunction, the EDAW team will assess and analyze pertinent issues associated with the project including, but not limited to: • Types and quality of land uses • Amount of developable land • Transportation (street connectivity, frontage road locations, multi -modal options, etc.) • Benefits of annexation to property owners • Provision of adequate public utilities • Integration of gateway features • Buy -in from property ownerships • Revenue potential of developments • Development and maintenance of public facilities • Connectivity of nearby trails and natural areas This list of givens and issues will be refined at initial TAG meetings and during early property owner meetings. Deliverables: Initial Issue Priority Memo Task 1.3 — Assess Existing Conditions, Plans, and Regulations Our team has an unmatched breadth and depth of understanding of the South College planning area. Our team's experience in leading three major planning efforts in this area — City Plan (2004), South College Avenue (US 287) Access Control Plan Update Report (2002), and the US 287/South College Avenue Bicycle Lane Project (2005) — gives us a genuine understanding of the core issues and planning challenges. A major component of the South College Corridor Plan is to enable the area to best reflect the goals and objectives of Fort Collins' City Plan. EDAW will build upon our existing conditions assessment to identify areas that currently meet those goals, and areas of the corridor that fall short of City Plan's vision. The EDAW team will develop an inventory of information relating to current conditions. The inventory will be based on information provided by staff, utility providers, special districts, and via site analysis. FHU will summarize to the project team the critical issues of the existing Access Control Plan and Intergovernmental Agreement between the City, CDOT and Larimer County. Starter; similarly brings a team of individuals that have worked with the City, County and special districts servicing the planning area. Both FHU and Stantec's knowledge of existing systems, service districts, and personnel will allow the team to be efficient in the collection of information and the assessment of their future needs, and move quickly towards the subsequent opportunities and constraints analysis. Subtasks include: • Create a base map of the study area using digital imagery provided by the City. • Review and update existing inventory of CIS layers, including land use, future land use, zoning, hydrology, floodplains, and natural resources. • Review, inventory and evaluate existing information, relations to existing public master plans or private development plans, and context of adjoining areas. • Collect existing utility maps for water transmission and distribution lines, sanitary sewer interceptor and trunk lines, and storm water interceptor lines in the form of master plans and/or utility maps from the City, County, and Special Districts (i.e. Fort Collins / Loveland Water District and South Fort Collins Sanitation District) presently serving the area. Collection of information from public utilities (e.g. Public Service Gas and Electric, Poudre Valley REA, PRPA, EXCEL, City of Fort Collins Light and Power Department) is not anticipated as a part of this project. Deliverables: Base Maps, Report Format Meetings: TAG 2 Task 1.4 — Stakeholder Interviews As the final component to our existing conditions assessment and early public outreach, the EDAW Team will conduct interviews of key stakeholders, including property owners, developers, traffic engineers, and elected officials and boards. Service providers, in particular, will be interviewed to document their capacity to serve existing and future development as well as to understand future plans and potential improvement costs. After review of the service master plans are complete, Stantec will interview the City, the County, and special districts to ask questions, review appropriate portions of their master plans, and solicit input from the parties as to the appropriateness of these master plans to their present situations and plans for future growth. These interviews will lake place during a two-day stakeholder's session coordinated by the City. One-on-one interim briefings with Council members, Planning Commission members, and/or other key stakeholders throughout the process will also be necessary to assure open communication and to support consensus building. We assume 5 briefings for cost estimating purposes.

Our detailed inventory of existing land use will drive this analysis, as well as site visits, discussions with property owners, and through our early public outreach. Deliverables: Opportunities and Constraints Map Meetings: TAC 3 Task 1.6 — Corridor Development Potentials In addition to our physical existing conditions inventory, we will provide a market analysis of the current land use and corridor development potentials along the South College corridor. We must assert whether or not its current fapade of antiques dealers, auto -related business, and other commercial activities are fulfilling a market niche in Fort Collins or if the community could be better served. This fundamental question will lead us to plan for either redevelopment of land uses, or simply a restructuring of the corridor's layout and design standards. EPS will approach this task in three ways: • Fort Collins Development Forecasts Update. EPS will build upon previous development forecasts generated during other work prepared for the City of Fort Collins, which relies on City and NFRCOG data as benchmarks. These regional forecasts will be translated into supportable retail, office, and industrial space over the forecast period and provide a foundation for an estimate of corridor development potentials. • Land Use Analysis. EDAW and EPS will quantify existing land use and development conditions in the corridor from land use maps, aerial photography, assessor parcel data, and existing business inventories. We will categorize the redevelopment potential of parcels using evaluation criteria that estimate redevelopment suitability such as parcel size, existing use, total value, improvement to land value, and density (FAR). • South College Commercial Development Forecasts. EPS will build upon recent retail and commercial market analysis conducted in the City and region. In particular, the analysis will build upon the 1-25 and Prospect site, the Bayer Property, and the Mason Corridor projects. The refinement of these analyses for the South College corridor will focus on retail and office/service uses. The projected amount of future development along South College will account for land availability and Iocational attributes relative to the demand in the larger commercial corridor. Deliverables: Draft Market Feasibility Memo Task 1.7 — Baseline Planning Summary To conclude Phase I of the Plan, EDAW will prepare a Baseline Planning Summary outlining recommendations for the next steps of this planning process, highlighting project givens and focal issues, and suggested approaches to ensure these are properly addressed. The summary will include a synopsis of conclusions and recommendations of previous plans or decisions; a catalog of current conditions, including images and summaries of major features; final market findings, and an outline of the corridor's opportunities and constraints. EDAW will present the Baseline Planning Summary to City Council or Planning Commission to "check in" with elected or appointed officials and receive direction prior to continuing with framework plan development. The TAC will review the draft summary and provide one set of consolidated comments for EDAW t:o produce a final summary document. Deliverables: Draft and Final Baseline Planning Summary (5 hard copies, 1 electronic copy) Meetings: City Council or Planning Commission Presentation PHASE It. FRAMEWORK PLAN DEVELOPMENT Task 2.1 — Visioning Workshops Once we have established givens, assessed key opportunities and constraints in the area, and analyzed the market feasibility of its current land uses, we can begin work with the community to establish a vision for the South College Corridor. We propose to hold a round of visioning workshops at a building(s) within the corridor. The workshops could be held at the City StoreFront or at EDAW ING DESIGN PLANNI NC, AND E11R20NN4ENr i DWIDE 241 SOUTH COLLEGE CORRIDOR PLAN an existing business. As proposed, the visioning process would entail up to 3 workshops on the same day or consecutive days at convenient times for business owners and residents, such as a breakfast, lunch, and evening. The 3 workshops could focus on 3 subdistricls within the corridor (i.e., Harmony Road to Fossil Creek, Fossil Creek to Trilby, Trilby to Carpenter Road) or 3 project elements (i.e., access control, economic development, streetscape design). We recognize that it is often difficult for specific segments to participate in meetings, so we can also lake the workshops to them, staging the events at 3 different locations throughout the day if needed. The visioning workshops will provide the public with a forum to directly express how they would like to see this area in the future. This exercise will be directed not only at the property owners there, but also the general public of Fort Collins, who utilize that area for retail and services. This type of charrette-based approach worked effectively in the Refill Fort Collins Charrette at the Bias Bleu Theatre, where EDAW in tandem with City of Fort Collins staff were able to expedite data collection, brainstorming, conceptual alternatives, and preliminary recommendations over an abbreviated period, Refill Fort Collins Charrette at the ales Bleu Theater The outcome of the visioning workshops will be an shared vision and land use ideas as articulated by stakeholders that will drive the subsequent land use alternatives. Deliverables: Workshop Presentation Materials Meetings: 3 Visioning Workshops (on the same or consecutive days), TAC 4 Task 2.2 — Development of Land Use and Transportation Alternatives Coinciding with the visioning tasks outlined above, EDAW will employ several sources and tools to develop three integrated land use and transportation alternatives. The land use alternatives will reflect the findings of the market feasibility analysis and will include a status quo (continuation of current trends) alternative, as well as two additional alternatives with varying land use patterns. Each alternative will be overlaid by the Short or Long Term Access Control Plan, with minor modifications if necessary for synchrony. FHU will evaluate the trip generation and traffic impacts of the land use alternatives relative to approved future access locations and types; provide recommendations for access plan revisions, if necessary. Public input to this point will also significantly influence the development of these scenarios. The primary tool to illustrate the three land use and transportation alternatives will be GIS mapping. CIS mapping also allows us to simply show the spatial arrangement of different land uses, including adjacency, connectivity of the transportation network, and connectivity of natural areas or trails. In addition to GIS, EDAW is highly skilled in illustrating land use alternatives by hand or in Sketch -up to illustrate the various characters of the development. It is important to understand the spatial qualities, massing, street frontage, open space and human -scale considerations, in order to evaluate how well a particular alternative is meeting the stated objectives. Sketch -up allows planners to create 3-D visual representations of development and building massing. This is an extremely powerful tool in enabling the public to visualize different land use concepts. The results of this analysis can be presented on posters or handbooks as an approachable format or even on a computer screen as a sophisticated simulation if that is seen as beneficial.

Adoption hearing presentation PowerPoint and/or exhibits Meetings: TAC 7 Task 4.2 — Planning Commission Public Hearing EDAW will assist City staff and the Planning Commission in conducting a Public Hearing to present the final plan. Task 4.3 — City Council Public Hearing EDAW will assist City staff and the City Council in holding a Public Hearing for formal adoption of the final plan. Task 4.4 — Submit Approved Plan Document to City for Final Editing City staff will provide EDAW with one copy of consolidated comments from the Planning Commission and City Council public hearings to revise the draft plan into a final, approved plan. EDAW will deliver to the City the final document in a hard copy and electronic format for final formatting by the City. OPTIONAL SERVICES Optional services in addition to the project budget are described below. Design Standards While not specifically spoken to in the RFP, EDAW proposes conceptual design standards to create a district character and direct design solutions without stifling creativity and while allowing flexibility. The southern gateway's image will likely be expressed in the "public realm", which includes the identity signage, streetscape, landscaping, and other site elements. Having consistency in the site expressions may be enough to have the development appear unified, provided that there is enough guidance on actual building architecture and massing to create the types of outdoor spaces that will make this a 'real place." A fee proposal and the extent to which building architecture is desired to be controlled cannot be determined at this time, and should certainly be a discussion item as the plan progresses and the desired theme is identified. "City StoreFront" EDAW will personally staff or prepare displays and take- home materials for a temporary (i.e., two -weeks prior to or after public events) or permanent (i.e., during entire planning process) information outlet within the corridor. The "City StoreFront' could be independently situated or co -located with an existing business to allow for drop - in visitors to learn abeut the planning process, with interactive wall exhibits to record ideas or comments. EDAW INC DESIGN LLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT,' WORLDWIDE 2-8I SOUTH COLLEGE CORRIDOR PLAN A library of planning and economic development literature or videos should be available, with copies of working documents available for perusal. These displays and library materials should be transported to/ from public meetings. The City will arrange for building accommodations. Executive Summary Document The Final Plan should be one that the businesses, landowners, neighbors, and the City as a whole can use to promote the plan and gain momentum for its implementation. To make the plan more widely accessible, we propose preparing a highly graphic executive summary that is simple enough to be comprehended in a short time frame. Our team prepares leading edge reports and graphics, and has all the tools to make this a beautiful, engaging and substantive document. The summary will also be readily converted into a developer solicitation package, and members of the consultant team are available to assist in that effort. $5,000, including expenses. Framework Plan Fly -Through We propose a graphic representation and interactive fly - through of the entire South College Corridor. While "static" 2D and 3D visualizations have their merits as exhibits or report graphics, an interactive environment where users can pan, zoom, tilt, and fly through a visualization of the Framework Plan will assist stakeholders in fully understanding and advocating for the shared vision. Using a combination of Google Earth, Sketch -Up, GIS, AutoCAD, and hand renderings, EDAW can create a seamless, interactive tool to illustrate existing and future development, as well as architectural styles, building massing and streetscape components. The 3-D model would be overlayed onto the Preferred Framework Plan in user-friendly Google Earth; EDAW would create several fly -through paths and placemarks. These will be able to accurately represent future development from many different viewpoints, such as driving along South College Avenue, riding down Fossil Creek Trail, plan views, birds -eye views, etc. The Google Earth movie - or the original file itself - could be uploaded to the project website for business owners or residents to view from the convenience of their own home. Layers and pop- up photos or hand renderings could also be turned on and off to represent specific land uses or big ideas. This could be an impressive tool for gaining public support and excitement for future development in this area. 4 N.

Our philosophy is to have local service with individual care and attention, the support of an entire firm's resources and knowledge, and a team of specialists well acquainted with the corridor's potential. The team will be led by EDAW's Fort Collins office, with support from key personnel in our Denver office. Our offices in Fort Collins and Denver were launched in 1974 and 1990, respectively, and have a combined staff of over 140 professionals with specialties that include land use and environmental planning, transportation and streetscape design, public facilitation, urban design and regeneration, policy planning, parks and trail design/planning, sustainable design, and landscape architecture. Core EDAW staff committed to this project are no strangers to the rigors required in corridor planning, public facilitation, policy planning, and streetscape design. In fact, our selected Fort Collins and Denver staff is currently leading similarly significant corridor studies, such as: • North Nevada Avenue Corridor Urban Renewal Master Plan, Colorado Springs, CO • North Avenue Corridor Plan, Grand Junction, CO • Interstate 1-25 / Highway 392 Interchange Improvement Plan, Windsor and Fort Collins, CO These projects will conclude shortly, allowing staff to be reassigned to the South College Corridor Plan. Our current staffing and backlog allow ample capacity to respond to project needs in a timely and responsive way. In addition to the personnel proposed for this project, we have the capability to tap into the manpower resources of our 30 EDAW offices with over 900 people nationwide, if necessary, to meet your deadlines and give your project its deserved priority. We have consistently met deadline and budget parameters over our professional history. Lead Principal, Bruce Meighen, will have ultimate responsibility for organizing the project, meeting our client's expectations, and developing leading edge solutions. Mr. Meighen will combine his own specialties and skills with planning and design principals, Tom Keith and Jana McKenzie, to provide the best ideas and service in the industry. Jeremy Call is designated as project manager and will be responsible for staffing and coordinating the work effort, as well as producing drawings and reports. Supporting these people are senior associates, Brad Smith, Kurt Friesen and Steve Wilensky, three of our firm's practice leaders in corridor planning, as well as a cadre of professional landscape architects, urban designers, policy planners, and GIS staff who contribute their respective skills and experience to each project. By working actively in other areas of the country and participating in internal "Practice Circles," EDAW staff is able to share best practices and develop new solutions for our clients. Public facilitation will be led by certified facilitator Carol Anderson of our Denver EDAW office. She brings 25 years of experience to public facilitation with clients such as the Colorado Department of Transportation and the City of Fort Collins. An active lecturer, Ms. Anderson is currently serving as a member of the Board of Directors for the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) and is editor of their newsletter, Participation Quarterly. Carol, along with our in-house public facilitators, are skilled at translating the language of land use and transportation to non -specialists, while maintaining neutrality towards the outcome. EDAW's strength as the lead consultant will be complemented by three excellent firms: Felsburg Holt & Ullevig, Economic Planning Systems, and Stantec. All EDAW team members live in and/or regularly work with the City of Fort Collins on a variety of projects. We will work in a team setting, partnering with the City and stakeholders to successfully complete the South College Corridor Plan.

Keeping in mind the Short -Term and Long -Range Access Plans for this corridor, land planning for US 287 should use the access plans as a framework for identifying access opportunities and constraints relative to the introduction of new parcels or the redevelopment of existing land uses. Both the Short - Term and Long -Range Access Plans were developed with the goal of providing safe and convenient access for existing land and business owners, while making use of opportunities to provide good circulation and access as this area of Fort Collins redevelops over time. EPS will provide market analysis and financial analysis services related to the South College Corridor Plan in the City of Fort Collins. Their work program will address several of the City's objectives for the plan as outlined below. Evaluation of existing retail development along the corridor, addressing barriers to redevelopment and identification of redevelopment opportunities. Analyze the future commercial redevelopment potential along the corridor with special emphasis on two key potential anchor locations. Evaluate and recommend potential financing mechanisms to generating funds for a specified set of public improvements, including the Access Management Plan. Stantec brings a team of individuals that have worked with the City, County, and special districts servicing the planning area. Their knowledge of their systems and personnel will allow the EDAW team to be efficient in the collection of information, and the assessment of future needs.

Since designation as a blighted area by the Colorado Springs City Council in 2004, consolidation of land parcels by the University Village developer has followed quickly. Development of the University Village retail project will generate tax increment funding for a portion of the North Nevada Avenue roadway and public realm improvements. EDAW is preparing a report to define the vision and physical changes necessary to transform the project area into a thriving urban center with a mixed use of university, retail, commercial, arena, research campus and residential activities. Building upon the previous studies, this effort to bring definition of the physical improvements necessary to invigorate this area has been led by a Project Committee consisting of representatives of the Colorado Springs Urban Renewal Authority (CSURA), Colorado Springs Planning Department, the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (UCCS), and the business community.

North Avenue is a major east -west commercial thoroughfare, and has experienced significant decline over the last years. The corridor study area includes the intersection at 12th Street, eastbound to the 1-70 B business loop intersection, and an approximate one block radius on either side of North Avenue. This plan includes an overall strategy to revitalize the corridor in order to PmPosed Monument Sign promote the future development of retail, commercial, office and residential opportunities to sustain and increase the vitality of this corridor.

In order for new development to proceed adjacent to the interstate, adequate public facilities must be built. Although the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has identified this area as a high priority project, there is no federal funding available for a new interchange design. In January 2006, the City of Fort Collins and the Town of Windsor entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) regarding land use and development at the 1-25 and Carpenter Road/392 Interchange. The IGA includes the need for cooperation between Fort Collins, Windsor, Larimer County, and the North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization on design and funding interchange improvements. EDAW's role in the 1-25/SH 392 Interchange Improvement Plan was to develop action strategies to implement improvements to the interchange, with particular emphasis on developing alternative funding mechanisms to allow the project to go directly Into final design. The 1-25/SH392 Interchange study area is regionally important because of its role as a gateway to Fort Collins and Windsor and its proximity to the critical habitat and other resource values at Fossil Creek Reservoir. The project is an opportunity to create an inviting entrance for both communities that reflects and preserves the area's unique environmental features. With forward -thinking planning, the study area has the potential to create a unique sense of place that solidifies the long-term status of the area as an attractive, revenue - generating gateway to Windsor and Fort Collins. Public outreach was critical to the Plan early in the process. The lack of publicly available funding options requires significant involvement of landowners and taxpayers into the Plan. EDAW developed a comprehensive public involvement plan that engaged property owners and key stakeholders into a discussion on the area's future vision, constraints, and how to best achieve a financing strategy. This approach ensures that those who will benefit most from the interchange improvement helped shape how it is implemented.

EDAW was hired as the design consultant for bicycle/pedestrian corridor design, station siting and design, urban design, signage, and architectural treatment of walls, underpasses and bridges. EDAW provided environmental services for the Environmental Assessment regarding habitat, wetlands, threatened and endangered species, and archeological resources. The initial phase of services were designed to prepare for the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) New Starts program submittal. This required data collection, EA report preparation, and design alternatives efforts concurrent so that Preliminary Engineering for the preferred alternative would be ready for submittal to the FHWA in less than one year. Public process for the corridor required eight public workshops and open houses, as well as many meetings with City departments, Burlington Northern Railroad, CDOT, FHWA, Colorado State University, adjacent landowners, and business organizations. aa_w Throughout, EDAW played the central role in assuring that the character of the corridor reflected the unique character of Fort Collins, possessed design -�' - continuity while allowing for local variations, and met the latest standards for Lww'� public conveyance and safety. w I 1 —I BRT shelter option EDAW INC DESIGN, PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTS WORLDWIDE PROJECT EXPERIENCE q V1 r L I I i n Mason Corridor ll Fort Collins, CO Client: City of Fort Collins The City of Fort Collins recently received two transit grants totaling $8.5 million from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) for work toward linking south Fort Collins, Colorado State University (CSU) and Downtown via Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and building a new south transit center. The Downtown to CSU project received $4.5 million and will further advance the City's Downtown Strategic Plan by creating a convenient link between two high activity centers for thousands of commuters, students, staff/faculty, and community visitors. EDAW was chosen to prepare all station and urban design work on the Mason Corridor, a five mile north -south byway within the City of Fort Collins. The corridor is centered along the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway property, located a few hundred feet west of College Avenue (US 287). The Mason Corridor includes a new bicycle and pedestrian trail, as well as a future BRT system in a fixed guideway for the majority of the corridor. The BRT service will operate nearly twice as fast as auto travel along College Avenue, as well as provide high frequency service every 10 minutes. Stations will incorporate new high -quality amenities that are similar to light rail, with low floor boarding platforms, sleek new buses, next bus arrival information, and pre -pay fare machines. In addition, the City has been approved for grant funding from CDOT and the North Front Range MPO to design and construct a new pedestrian / bicycle trail overpass over the BNSF railroad. This project began in 2006 and construction is expected to be completed in 2007/08.

The City of Fort Collins is revising the City's codes and policies to ensure that exemplary infill and redevelopment projects become a reality as best intentions do not always materialize into anticipated projects. The Refill Study examines changes in City codes and processes that will facilitate redevelopment in communities used to traditional Greenfield projects. Encouraging infill and redevelopment projects is part of the City's vision for the future, but currently these projects are not widespread and frequently encounter barriers during the review process. Often these sites present particular challenges —obsolete structures, contamination, poor access to utilities, etc. —that impede development because of increased costs associated with these challenges. The City wants to maintain the high quality of life that characterizes the community, and to do this, infill and redevelopment must play a key role in the city's future. A 2-week long workshop resulted in recommended City code changes. The project team also hosted three public meetings: the first introduced the study and identified issues; the second discussed the preliminary outcomes of the workshop; and the third summarized the final outcomes of the workshop. The result was process and code enhancements that will change the way the City approaches these projects. EDAW INC DESIGN. PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTS WORLDWIDE South College Avenue (US 287) Access Control Plan Update Report - Carpenter road (LCR 32) to Swallow Road The City of Fort Collins, Colorado, in concert with the Colorado Department of Transportation, Larimer County and Felsburg Holt & Ullevig updated the existing Access Control Plan for United States Highway 287, a major artery of the City and County street system. This highway is an important regional route in northern Colorado, providing north/south access throughout the Front Range of Colorado. Near Fort Collins, this route carries a wide range of vehicle and travel types, from semi -truck delivery vehicles to commuter traffic between Fort Collins and Loveland. Felsburg Holt & Ullevig first prepared a traffic analysis report, conducting all of the technical evaluations for the project, including the documentation of existing access locations, traffic volumes, operational conditions and the accident history of the corridor. Year 2020 traffic volume estimates were developed and the projected traffic conditions for this period were analyzed. An Update Report was then prepared that provided all of the access management recommendations of the corridor. The access recommendations included constructing the Fort Collins Arterial cross-section of six travel lanes, a raised and landscaped median, two bike lanes, sidewalk and 10' parkway buffers. Parallel access routes were recommended to facilitate vehicle movements that may be restricted by certain access modifications. This project also included an extensive public involvement effort. Eleven public open houses were conducted, with several presentations to the City's Transportation Board and City Council also. A phased priority ranking of project improvements was developed and conceptual level cost estimates of both short-term and long-range improvements was prepared.

Mason Street Fort Collins, CO 80524 Project Manager: Kathleen Reavis 970-224-6140 US 287/South College Avenue Bicycle Lane Project Felsburg Holt & Ullevig assisted the City of Fort Collins and the Colorado Department of Transportation in developing bicycling facilities along US 287/South College Avenue that include the design and construction of bike lanes and trail connections between Carpenter and Harmony Roads, an approximate three-mile segment of state highway. Project goals included designing facilities for commuter and recreational cyclists and providing a safe and user-friendly addition to the local and regional integrated system of on -street bike lanes and off-street trails. This project was a Local Agency Coordination project administered by the Colorado Department of Transportation — Region 4. The project began with the development of a Conceptual Design Plan that incorporated the goals and objectives of the biking community. Alternative bike lane treatments were developed to match differing intersection and private access situations, while also providing a connection to the regional Fossil Creek Trail. An extensive signing & striping plan identified the locations where bike lane signs and markings were matched to local access conditions. Preliminary and final construction drawings were then prepared for project implementation. One of the unique aspects of the project was the use of a shared -lane pavement marking that identified the locations where motor vehicles and bicyclists were required to share a roadway lane. The use of this special pavement marking was used at locations where acceleration and deceleration lanes already existed, thereby limiting the roadway widening requirements along the corridor. The Federal Highway Administration was petitioned for a "Request to Experiment" with the shared -lane marking for this specific condition. The City of Fort Collins will be conducting before and after studies of the success of the shared -lane marking. Client: City of Fort Collins Transportation Planning 215 N. Mason Street Fort Collins, CO 80524 Project Manager: Kathleen Bracke 970-224-6140 REDEVELOPMENT QUALIFICATIONS Project Profiles Mason Corridor Economic Study Fort Collins, Colorado The Mason Corridor is a five -mile, north -south corridor centered along the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway property, located a few hundred feet west of College Avenue (US 287). The corridor will include a new bicycle and pedestrian trail as well as a future Bus Rapid 'Transit (BRT) system in a fixed guideway for the majority of the corridor. The corridor will link major destinations and activity centers along the corridor including Downtown commercial, cultural, and business centers, Colorado State University, Foothills Mall, and South College Avenue retail areas. The City of Fort Collins retained FPS to conduct an economic analysis of the proposed Mason Corridor project. EPS evaluated the development conditions and opportunities along the corridor as well as estimated the economic and fiscal benefits of the project for the City. The analysis evaluated the supply and demand for residential, retail, and office development within the City of Fort Collins and estimated capture of each for the corridor. These estimates provided the foundation for targeting specific stations areas as potential catalyst projects. EPS also estimated future property tax and sales tax revenues for the City as a basis for evaluating potential public financing options. In addition, the analysis quantified the economic and fiscal impacts of the estimated $72 million. Santa Fe Corridor Redevelopment Plan Littleton, Colorado The study area included over 500 acres of largely underdeveloped land lying between Santa Fe Boulevard and the South Platte River. The study area had undergone significant changes including the completion of RTD's southwest light rail line, the completion of the South Platte River Park, and the reconstruction and widening of South Santa Fe Boulevard. The City wanted to ensure that the future development of its undeveloped land met its land use and economic development objectives. EPS was economic consultant on a team to develop a land use, zoning, and urban design plan for the Santa Fe Corridor and Historic Downtown Littleton. The economic analysis identified the types of higher quality development that would be consistent with the City's goals, evaluated the market potentials for attracting the appropriate types of development to the corridor, and specified the appropriate type and intensity of land uses by subarea. The project also included a downtown framework plan for historic downtown Littleton. A new light rail station in downtown added the potential for transit -oriented development. EPS also estimated the fiscal and overall economic benefits of public investments and recommended regulatory and public investment changes necessary for attracting desired development. In a subsequent project, the corridor recommendations were incorporated into the Santa Fe Corridor Subarea Plan as an element of the City's overall comprehensive plan.

The corridor from downtown on the west to Broadway on the east contained three distinct segments. Closest to downtown was an area of small professional offices, many in historic homes. The center segment surrounded an outmoded neighborhood commercial center and adjacent commercial parcels. The east segment contained primarily small arterial commercial uses across from single-family development. The City had completed roadway and streetscape improvements for the corridor. RTD had increased transit services along this important feeder route to the downtown light rail station. The redevelopment plan addressed land use opportunities and proposed appropriate urban design, regulatory and capital improvement options for encouraging both commercial and residential infill development. FPS conducted market and financial feasibility studies to determine development opportunities and identified a total of 10 opportunity sites for future infill or redevelopment. FPS determined that redevelopment will not take place for most of the sites in the near future without City redevelopment intervention. Two priority sites were selected based on their ability to be developed without using redevelopment powers and on their ability to leverage the redevelopment of adjacent properties. Buckley Annex Redevelopment Plan Denver, Colorado The 72-acre Buckley Annex containing the 600,000 square foot Defense Finance and Accounting Services (DFAS) is the last remaining military use located on the former Lowry Air Force Base in Denver. In the summer of 2005, BRAC voted to close the Buckley Annex and relocate the DFAS and ARPC to Buckley Air Force Base in east Aurora, Colorado. FPS was part of a multidisciplinary team responsible for the creation of a redevelopment plan for the property. FPS prepared a market analysis forecasting residential, retail, and office development potentials for the site. The market findings were inputs to the formation and evaluation of plan alternatives and refinement of a recommended land use plan for the site. The Buckley property was determined to have the potential for a predominately residential mixed use development that can take advantage of the desirable location and high values already established by the 3,000 housing units and 1.6 million square feet of commercial space developed at Lowry over the last 10 years. FPS was also responsible for a financial model to estimate a sale value for the property and to evaluate the Air Force's independent appraisal for the site. Fort Collins Regional Retail Analysis Fort Collins, Colorado FPS has been an economic and financial advisor to the City of Fort Collins on regional commercial development proposals and issues. The most recent development proposals include the ] 20-acre White property at 1-25 and Prospect and the Front Range Village project at Harmony and Ziegler. The City asked FPS to analyze the net new sales potential for the site and make recommendations on public finance alternatives. Economic & Planning Systems, 111c EPS first updated its regional retail inflow outflow model based on 2005 sales and changes to regional competition including the new lifestyle center in Loveland For the Bayer project, the firm then conducted an analysis of the retail development potential for the proposed 900,000 square foot power center, net new sales tax revenues to the City, and impacts of the supportable regional retail development programs on existing retail districts within the City EPS concluded the study by analyzing several public finance alternatives including a sales tax share back agreement and a public improvement fee (PIT) The final financing plan was presented to City Council and approved Fort Collins Lifestyle Center Analysis Fort Collins, Colorado The City of Fort Collins was considering amending the Harmony Corridor Plan, a subarea plan, to allow a "lifestyle" iretail center in an area previously planned for employment uses The City was concerned about impacts on existing retail, City sales tax revenues, and the loss of land designated for employment uses The City was also concerned about the potential fiscal impacts from the loss of retail sales if a competitive lifestyle center project opened in the neighboring city of Loveland EPS analyzed current retail sales trends and researched the lifestyle center concept in order to estimate the impacts of the proposed project on existing retail within the City Retail sales levels by store category were forecast for the project, and the City as a whole This allowed for estimating the net retail sales attributable to the project The study also estimated the net sales impact to the City if the lifestyle center were to locate in Loveland Finally, the study examined the vacant lands inventory along the Harmony Corridor to determine the employment impacts The analysis recommended that the City proceed with its amendment to allow for a lifestyle center The Planning Board and City Council unanimously approved the amendment to the Harmony Corridor Plan and design standards to allow the center Economic Pr Plaiiimg Sy,tems, hic Fossil Creek Drainage Improvements Fort Collins, Colorado This design will improve conveyance capacity along Fossil Creek, removing 140 homes from the 100-year floodplain. Stantec performed an in depth hydraulic and alternative analysis that increased' conveyance through an existing 50-foot high railroad embankment by the installation of two parallel I2Nnch diameter tunnels. Aker researching the embankment with Union Pacific Railroad, it was determined that it was constructed in the 1950's. Preceding this time a wood timber bridge occupied this area. Therefore, the bridge is most likely still in place under the embankment material. The railroad's track map gave a location for the abutments of the bridge, and we positioned the tunnels to avoid the pilings. Another challenge was uncovered during the geotechnical investigation, Extremely low bearing capacity soil was found at the proposed invert elevations. Essentially the material offers little supporting strength. After additional hydraulic analyses were performed, the invert of the tunnels were raised, and a series of two 12-inch steel pipes were recommended through the embankment. These would serve as rails where the tunnel piping would rest, and span any area(s) of soft soils. Although, when raising the invert of the tunnels, the thrusting equipment now had little soil to push against. Considering the maximum thrust could be up to 1.2 million pounds, a structure had to be constructed to act as a monolithic thrust block. This block was composed of 113 cubic yards of reinforced concrete, and acted in unison with a series of four two -foot diameter caissons that were drilled into bedrock. Fortunately, this block will not have to be removed after the tunnels are complete, but will be used as part of the erosion control downstream. W Stantec -.✓. Fp,t Dry Creek Drainage Design Improvements Fort Collins, Colorado A creative partnering approach allowed for review and input on the constructibility of project components, and determination of construction costs. Stantec and URS Corporation worked in association with Garney Construction to design and implement design solutions for the City of Fort Collins. We provided field topographic and control surveys, and analysis for various alternatives that included a six mile pipeline, transmission through existing canals and ditches, as well as utilization of a combination of ditches, canals, and pipeline. These alternatives provided transmission of irrigation flows from Douglas Reservoir to Terry Lake / Lorimer, and Weld Canal. We provided design of hydraulic structures for metering and energy dissipation of irrigation flows, preparation of permanent utility and temporary construction easements, property ownership research, design for relocation of water transmission and distribution lines to accommodate proposed improvements, and as -built surveying for all drainage and irrigation improvements. Through innovative engineering, the floodplain was reduced from approximately 1,400 acres to 300 acres, protecting hundreds of people and homes from potential damage. The project is based on flood detention in the upper and middle basins that reduce flows to a level that can be safely conveyed, through the more densely populated lower basin. Stantec Ciicn. �. r„ of Fcn �%�.Wns North College Water System Improvements Fort Collins. Colorado In total, design and construction of these improvements involved 5,644 LF of 3/4-inch and 2-inch service connections; and 6-inch through 12-Inch main lines. Stantec designed water system improvements for a deteriorated four -inch water line along the western edge of the right-of-way way for North College Avenue (Colorado State Highway 287). As a major arterial street and state highway, mitigation of the impact on traffic was a key consideration. Other key design considerations included; maintenance of service, mitigation of impacts to businesses and residents during construction; protection of numerous utilities; and coordination with Colorado Department of Highways, State Health Department, Lake Canal Ditch Company, and various City departments. This area of North College Avenue is considered the most gasoline contaminated area in the State of Colorado, due to leaking underground storage tanks. This condition required that special provisions be incorporated into the contract documents to address safety, disposal of contaminated soils, treatment, disposal of groundwater, and selection of material immune to the affects of gasoline.
