The following is an outline of the proposed scope of service to
design the above park features and to incorporate the services
listed in the Request for Proposal indicated above.
Contracting and Preliminary 5tuclies
The proposed scope of service outlined below includes a
combined process. The first process is the normal process
of design that would be used in development of a design
without City review. The second process is interwoven
with the normal process and involves review by the City
through what is typically referred to as the "planning
approval process." Since parks today need to proceed
through the city departmental review and approval, the
approach we have outlined includes tasks associated with
this process.
BHA has extensive experience with assisting clients
through the City review process (generally considered to
be arduous). In fact, BHA has assisted the City in the last
5 years to develop a more "user friendly" process.
Partially as a result of BHA's recommendations, projects
now are reviewed by planning earlier in the design
process resulting in easier and less expensive design
changes as a result of the public hearing.
The park property is currently zoned Public Open Lands
(POL), and parks are permitted in the P-O-L district,
subject to an administrative review.

The City of Loveland, Colorado, retained Ayres Associates to provide
on -call technical consulting services related to floodplain
administration of the Big Thompson River corridor through the City.
Ayres Associates reviews development submittals that are within and
adjacent to the floodplain and evaluates potential effects on flood
elevations and FEMA compliance. All Letters of Map Revision
(LOMR) and Conditional Letters of Map Revision (CLOMR) submitted
by developers are reviewed.
Ayres Associates' contract with the City includes emergency
engineering services in response to problems during high flows,
offering emergency response recommendations and design services
for bank erosion and flooding problems as well as preventative
maintenance to avoid erosion and flooding.
Ayres Associates has provided LOMR-F review for Eagle's Nest
Condos in Ryans Gulch Basin; investigated the floodplain for CLOMR
submittals on the Lafarge/Maristoca properties, at Waterford lake; and
reviewed the Big Thompson Fairgrounds Restoration plans.
Advisor The two largest efforts to date have been the technical and regulatory
review of Loveland Lakes and establishing hydrologic and hydraulic
modeling criteria for Dry Creek, which will eventually be added to the
City FIRM and floodway maps.

Ayres Associates project team provided a detailed inventory of
the hydraulic, ecological, recreational, historical, and river stability
constraints for each reach. With these know constraints, the
Team met on several occasions with representatives from
several City departments as well as various boards,
commissions, and interest groups to formulate project design
objectives.
Once the objectives were clearly identified, Ayres Associates
project team developed three alternatives for stabilizing the river
reach between Linden Street and Lincoln Avenue, focusing on
ecological enhancement, recreation, and flood control for the
Buckingham Neighborhood. Ultimately, a preferred alternative
was selected and preliminary designs were prepared by the
project team. The decision considered project costs, level of
protection, and enhancement provided by the project.
The preferred plan for the project provides bank stabilization and
stream stability of the Poudre River between Linden Street and
Lincoln Avenue. The plan also provides significant ecological
enhancements by creating and enhancing aquatic habitat and by
providing significant on -site revegetation and expansion of
existing riparian habitat. The newly aligned levee provides flood
control and removes the Buckingham neighborhood from the
100-year floodplain. New recreational opportunities are created in
the reach between College Avenue and the BNSF Railroad
Bridge with the addition of two boatable drop structures and
trail/access enhancements.

C. Programming and Project Development Plan Startup
There will be five groups of meetings associated with
this task. The meetings are intended to create a
comprehensive understanding of the planning
elements and planning parameters associated with
the design. These meetings can be divided as
follows: 1) meetings with parks planning and
recreation staff to refine the park program, 2)
meetings with the City of Fort Collins Development
Review Team to outline the review process and
determine expectations for the submittal, 3) meetings
with user groups to refine the desired program
elements and features, 4) meetings with parks
maintenance staff to develop the building program,
and discuss maintenance issues associated with the
park. Each of these meetings is discussed in more
detail in the following paragraphs, 5) Open Houses
with the public.
1. Parks and Recreation Programming Meeting —
BHA will meet with both the parks and
recreation staff to review the proposed park
• ro ram and t bl' 1,th d t
p g es ais a esign parame ers.
These meetings will be held to define
specifically the design criteria for individual
facilities. This task may also involve some
research on the part of the project team to
gather specific data on specific facilities.
2. Conceptual Review Meeting — BHA will apply
for a Conceptual Review Meeting with the
City's Development Review Team. The
appropriate design team members attend the
project Conceptual Review Meeting with the
City's Development Review Team. The
purpose of the meeting would be to identify
design constraints and opportunities prior to
commencing design. For example some of
these issues might include: Floodplain
limitations, existing utility capacities,
Horsetooth Road alignment considerations,
park access limitations, natural resource
issues, etc. BHA would arrange this meeting

would suggest that if a General Contractor is to be
used that the selection happens early in the process.
The project should be to the point where we have
developed base in formation and a pretty clear
understanding of the project design considerations.
An early selection would result in an earlier partnering
process, and quicker ability to understand pricing and
construction limitations.
E. Artist Selection
BHA works regularly with artists, and Roger Sherman
is currently the Chairperson for the City of Fort Collins
Art in Public Places Board.
For this task, we would work together with the City to
identify and select an artist from the Art in Public
Places Board's list of approved Design Consultants
(or through an RFP) to be on the team for the
duration of the project. We would like to retain this
artist early in the design process so they could serve
as an integral member of the team and be able to
contribute ideas throughout the design process.
F. Opportunities and Constraints Diagram
BHA will compile the above information into an
Opportunities and Constraints Diagram that will
outline the various issues associated with the physical
design parameters of the site. The map will be used in
the tasks that follow.
G. Preliminary Drainage Studies
Ayres Associates will generate a very preliminary
drainage study in order to determine the fundamental
drainage requirements including: detention pond
size/volume and Spring Creek channel size. This
information will be needed prior to beginning
schematic design.
H. Written program statement
A brief written scope statement will be written that
outlines key design parameters and issues to be
considered through design.

A. Design Charette (3 to 4 days)
We have extensive experience in the design charette
process and feel that it can be useful on this project.
The original design concepts for Fossil Creek Park
were done as a design charette, and we have hosted
and participated in many of these on other projects.
The charette process is useful because it brings
together all of the key participants early in the process
and enables the team to quickly make decisions that
normally would take substantially longer because of
the reviews required by an iterative approach. The
proposed charette would last for three to four days
and would involve key team members at certain
points. IT IS NOT anticipated that this will represent
the final approved Schematic Design. Further
refinement will be required. This will, however, answer
most of the substantive issues associated with the
development of the ultimate design. Key
representatives of BHA, Mundus Bishop, Howard Dutt
and OZ Architecture would attend all days. Key
aspects of the charette would be jointly developed
with the Parks staff but may be as follows:
1. First Day
a) Overview of the project program
b) Hydrology review
c) Site walk and analysis by team
d) Opportunities and Constraints Review
e) Brainstorming
f) Theme Development
g) Determination of requirements and
locations for detention and water
quality

Refinement and Additional Studies
Following the charette the parks staff, design team
and general contractor (if any) will work together to
refine the schematic concepts. In addition the
following specific tasks will be completed:
Master Plan refinement — BHA will prepare a
refined master plan for use in presentations
and review by parks staff, parks maintenance,
the Park and Recreation Board, user groups
and neighborhoods.
c Study — A traffic study would be
pleted by Matt Delich using the master
created in the charette. Key elements of
tudy would include:
a) Initial Meetings — Meet with designated
consultants, the City, and the
developer/owner to determine the
traffic concerns. Provide input
regarding the site plan and initial
access.
D e s i g n
>= 5r-RVICE
b) Collect Data — Obtain additional land
use and traffic data from the developer
or consultants and the City. Conduct
field investigations. Conduct peak
hour traffic counts as necessary.
c) Trip Generation, Distribution, and
Assignment — Conduct trip generation
analysis to determine the expected
additional site generated traffic from
the proposed uses. Conduct trip
distribution and assignment in
accordance with the new transportation
impact study guidelines.
d) Analysis — Conduct capacity analyses
on key intersections and road
segments. These analyses will be
conducted for current traffic and
projections. Determine the geometric
and control requirements and multi -
modal transportation measures at/near
this site.
e) Report Preparation — Prepare a report
documenting the findings of the
analyses.
f) Meetings — Attend meetings beyond
that necessary to complete Tasks a — e.
These may include neighborhood
meetings, City staff meetings, other
consultant meetings, and Public
Hearings. Every effort will be made to
prepare a report that addresses all of
the requirements of the City. However,
occasionally the staff will request a
revision or offer comments that require
a response. This additional work is
covered under this task.
C. Electrical Service Plan
ESC will be responsible for coordinating the
distribution of electric service to the park site with Fort
Collins Light and Power. The electrical service
characteristics for each of the proposed facilities,
restrooms, picnic pavilions, service center, pump
3 n .

house, lighted ball fields with scorers booths, tennis
and basketball courts, in -line skating, site and
pedestrian lighting systems will be established and
reviewed with City engineers to plan and locate the
extension of the City's primary electric utility system on
to the site.
D. Preliminary Drainage Study
Ayres will refine horizontal geometry and locations for
detention ponds, and water quality features consistent
with the generalized location provided on the site
plan. Ayres will provide the required storage volume
for detention. This effort will be coordinated with
Cedar Creek Associates.
E. Preliminary Utility Layout
Ayres will identify drainage basin delineation,
preliminary storm sewer locations and discharge
points, horizontal routing of sanitary sewer and
identify possible vertical conflict points.
F. Schematic Cost Estimate
The design team or the general contractor would
complete an Opinion of Probable Cost using the
refined Schematic Design Plan.
G. Geotechnical Testing - The purpose of the
geotechnical engineering services will be to evaluate
the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions, and
to determine geotechnical engineering criteria for the
design and development of the project. We propose
to explore the subsurface conditions on the site with a
total of 20 to 30 test borings drilled to approximate
depths of 10 to 30 feet. The test borings will be
located within proposed building footprints, roadway
alignments, and other park related features. Terracon
will clarify and provide a more specific scope of
services when the project and site plans are better
defined.
Borings will be advanced to the minimum depths
outlined unless refusal to drilling is encountered prior
to full boring advancement. The depth and location of

Dear Selection Committee,
The fabric of a City is comprised of many things. Taken in aggregate it is the
compilation of desires of citizens, developers & business owners, engineers, planners,
architects, and City codes and policies established by elected officials. The City can be
viewed as an organic and living entity, it's growth dependent on trends, health, safety,
and wellness, and the logical expansion of infrastructure. Above all the City is a place
that we all desire to be attractive, friendly, and sustainable; rich in contextual meaning,
beautiful, and a safe and desirable place to raise a family.
In Richard Florida's current bestseller The Rise of the Creative Class, Florida discusses
the importance of creativity in maintaining a viable future for America. It is our creativity
as a country that has kept us as one of the leading players in the world. When we
design a park we need to keep in mind that what we plan has to be locally appropriate
and make sense economically, but also that our efforts play a small part in the overall
r makeup of our nation.
_ This park will become a place where many of life's extraordinary memories are
shaped ... with weddings, concerts, reunions, the big game, a romantic picnic. What
should people remember about this park? We hope that people remember having fun
in a place that they want to go back to again and again. It's got to be great. We bring
a team to you that can create this kind of place.
We would love to work with you on this project. I hope you enjoy reviewing our
proposal. We had a lot of fun preparing it.

J. Program / Scope Document
The final step in Schematic Design would be the
. compilation of a Schematic design document. This
document would include a summary of the various
tasks outlined above and be compiled in an 11" X
17" document that can be used by Parks Staff for
internal review.
K. Public Open Houses — Two public open houses will be
scheduled after the first set of schematic design
drawings are completed. The purpose of these two
open houses is to present the schematic design
drawings and to gather public input. The third and
fourth open houses will be scheduled after
incorporating the public comments into the refined
Schematic Master Plan.
L. A signed letter from the City Development Review
Team will provide affirmation to proceed ahead.
M. Meetings
BHA would be available for meetings as required to
coordinate the schematic design task.
Ill. Design Development (50%)
A. Site Development
During this phase, aspects of the project will be
developed in digital format using AutoCAD. This task
includes detailed development of plans, sections, and
details of each of the project areas. Enlarged plans
will be prepared for each of the key layout areas such
as playgrounds, skateboard parks, water feature,
pavilions, court areas, etc. The following tasks are
associated with each amenity:
1. Layout Plan — Using a common coordinate
system, prepare layouts of each of the key
areas of the project. Enlarged plans will be
prepared for each of the key sub areas within
the site plan. An overall layout plan will be
prepared for the entire site using common
D e s i g n
v
Y a*,

reference data.
2. Preliminary Grading Plan/ Cut and Fill
Calculations (1' contours) - Prepare a grading
plan for the entire site. This plan will be
prepared using a 1' contour interval.
Preliminary cut and fill calculations will also be
developed. Assumptions used for shrinkage
and compaction will be based on soils report.
3. Preliminary Landscape Plan — A Preliminary
Landscape Plan will be prepared. This plan will
reflect concepts developed in Schematic
Design and also reflect City requirements
described in Article 3 of the Land Use Code.
These requirements will especially apply for
parking lot landscaping and for buffering of
parking areas from the street.
B. Preliminary Playground Design — Plans will be
prepared for the layout and equipment to be used in
the proposed playground. The playground areas will
be themed to create a rich imagery fitting with the
theme of the park. Theme Design will play a key role
in developing the playground character and other
areas of the park. They are actively involved all over
the United States in the development of interactive
playgrounds. Together with the expertise of Shane's
Inspiration already on board with the city, the
potential for this playground to be world class seems
highly likely.
C. Interactive Water Feature
Detailed elevations, sections and layout plans will be
prepared illustrating the water feature information. To
develop the engineering component of the interactive
water feature, BHA has included Rick Aust of Aqua
Engineering on the design team. Rick has extensive
experience in the development of water features and
has worked internationally in this arena.
D. Preliminary Irrigation Master Plan — While this task is
not a specific requirement of the scope, BHA will
nf=5i RVICE
coordinate with Chuck Ainsworth on development of
this plan. The focus of the plan will be to establish a
master plan for service, pumping location and sizing,
electrical service requirements, equipment to be used,
and preliminary layout of sprinkler laterals.
E. Thematic Modeling — During Schematic design,
certain thematic elements may be conceptualized.
During this task, BHA will work with Mundus Bishop
and Howard Dutt (of Theme Design) to refine these
ideas and create specific images. The images will be
developed either as models or as character sketches.
F. Sign Systems Concepts — Prepare detailed elevations
and section of proposed project identification signs
for the site.
G. Sign Plan - Prepare a sign plan illustrating locations
of signs and information to be displayed on each of
the signs. The following signs will be included as
design elements:
1. Main park identification sign(s)
2. Directional and informational signs (if needed)
3. Regulatory signs
H. Civil, Hydrologic, and Structural Engineering
1. Horsetooth Road Alignment — Prepare a
preliminary design alignment for the horizontal
location of Horsetooth Road adjacent to this
site. It is assumed the Horsetooth Crossing at
Spring Creek will be constructed using box
culverts and typical Fort Collins details. (See
below for additional information related to the
Final Design.)
2. Storm Drainage Modeling — Prepare
preliminary HEC-RAS and HEC-2 models
necessary to determine the Spring Creek
floodplain per City and FEMA guidelines. This
task would include preliminary analysis and
design for stream stabilization and any
necessary hydraulic structures. Stream
stabilization would be a combined effort of
._:ter n P F
nf=5i RVICi
Ayres Associates, Cedar Creek, and BHA.
4. Drainage Systems - Design of the on -site storm
drain system facilities in conformance with the
PDP Drainage Study. Storm sewer pipes will
be shown in plan view and known utility
crossings will be depicted in profile view also.
Hydrologic analysis will be performed using
SWMM for both existing and proposed
conditions. Work will also include preliminary
design of the proposed regional detention
pond and associated outlet structure.
5. Sanitary Sewer - Design the on -site sanitary
sewer to conform to the City of Fort Collins
requirements. Plans of the sanitary sewer
system will be prepared with dimensions,
locations and stationing of service laterals.
Profiles will be prepared for crossings with
other utilities, Spring Creek, and/or vertically
constrained areas. Plans shall include a detail
sheet depicting the details of the sanitary
system per City requirements.
6. Utility Layout — Ayres will prepare a horizontal
utility layout to show the relationship between
sanitary sewer mains, storm sewer systems,
and water mains, identify anticipated pipe
sizes, and locations of manholes, inlets, gate
valves, and fire hydrants.
7. Preliminary Trail Bridge Designs — Prepare
preliminary plans for the structures (bridges)
proposed for the trail connecting the lakes.
BHA will lead the aesthetic aspects and
architectural detailing of this design and Ayres
Associates will provide structural design. It is
assumed that pre -fabricated steel bridges and
pre -cast abutments will be used and possibly
modified. Pre -fabricated bridges may be
modified to incorporate elements of the park
theme.
n
nf=SfRViCf
8. Streets and Parking — Ayres will prepare plans
for the interior drives and parking areas
showing horizontal layout, striping and
signage. Soils report recommendations for
paving will be indicated on the plan.
I. Preliminary Plat and Final Plat - Nolte Associates, Inc.
will prepare a Preliminary and Final Plat of the park
site showing additional rights -of -way and easements
needed for access, drainage and utilities. Platting will
be performed in accordance with current City of Fort
Collins Standards. Offsite easements and rights -of -
way will be performed on an as needed basis at unit
cost of $600 each.
J. Architectural drawings
OZ Architects will prepare appropriate preliminary
building elevations, floor plans, sections, material
boards, and code review for each of the proposed
Structure. Mechanical equipment plans will be
prepared by Abrahamson Engineering, Electrical
Systems Consultants, Inc. (ESC) will prepare electrical
plans for each of the exposed structures. Structural
design for the building facilities will be prepared by
JVA. The following is a tentative list of the building
facilities that will be included in the phase 1
improvements:
1. Maintenance facility — 6000 sf
2. Pavilions (2)
3. Scorekeepers booth (all identical)
4. Restroom Building (1 set)
5. Restroom Building at ball diamond plaza
including spaces for vending machines.
6. Small Shade Shelters (custom design or from
catalog) for one picnic table (5 or 6 identical)
K. Electrical Systems
1. ESC will prepare preliminary construction
documents detailing the points of connection
for electric service, the power distribution
system to the various facilities, and the branch
circuit wiring requirements to all equipment.
ESC was the electrical engineer for the Fossil
=SCOFF OF5ERVICF
Creek Park and Westfield Park project for the
City and therefore is familiar with the parking
and pedestrian area luminare preferred by the
City and the criteria for the physical effects of
the lighting system. ESC will prepare the site
lighting layout and the park pedestrian way
lighting system layout indicating the light levels
to be maintained. ESC will prepare a point by
point illumination plan required for a
submission to the City Development Review
Department.
2. Restroom Facilities - ESC is also familiar with
the City's standards for park restroom
electrical equipment and the lighting system
control features. ESC will coordinate with the
project team architect to provide electrical
plans for these facilities as well as any
electrical requirements for the picnic pavilions.
3. Maintenance Building - The maintenance
building electrical requirements will also be
coordinated with the City and project team
members. ESC has a great deal of experience
in the design of electrical systems for light
industrial facilities like this and will be
responsible for coordinating the power needs
of any special equipment as well as for
providing the basic power distribution and
lighting system needs.
4. Sports Lighting — Sports Lighting is planned for
softball/baseball fields, basketball courts,
tennis courts and in -line skate hockey rink
areas. ESC, through the project team will
coordinate the needs of these lighting systems
with the City to see that the level of play is
properly matched with the proper level of
illumination. ESC will provide layouts of the
lighting systems for each sport field indicating
the desired foot candle levels. Pole
foundation details will be designed and the
underground branch circuit wiring layout will
B H A D e s i g n
e V'
�_c;rnPF
nF SiRV1Ci
be indicated.
5. Sports Lighting Control - ESC will design a
control system for the sports lighting systems
addressing the requirements for their use and
system use constraints as established by the
City. ESC has worked on tennis lighting
systems at Warren Park and at Edora Park,
baseball and softball lighting at City Park and
at Edora Park and is familiar with the range of
lighting controls needed and will work with the
City to explore and identify options to
automate these controls such that their use
and their maintenance may be simplified.
L. Visual Analysis
The design team will create a 3-D visual impact
analysis to review the proposed locations of ball
diamond backstops and the associated light poles.
This study will be reviewed with the City and
adjustments will be made to the locations of the ball
fields if necessary.
M. Review meetings
1. Department Review — BHA will coordinate and
lead a meeting with the City Review Team as
part of the Project Development Plan process.
This meeting will correspond with the City's
Project Life Cycle (PLC) 50% document being
used as part of the pilot project program. This
meeting will focus on the 50 % complete set.
During this meeting it is anticipated that the
consulting team will have breakout groups to
review specific segments of the project. These
breakout groups will be focused around civil,
site, and traffic related issues.
2. Development Construction Permit— At this
point in the project, BHA and parks staff will
work together with City engineering staff to
begin preparation of a Development
Agreement. A Development Agreement is
typically required when there is a financial
n
I=:SERVICE
interaction between the owner of a property
and a city utility. If required, the Agreement
would commence at this point in the process.
N. Outline Specifications
Each firm on the team would be required to develop
appropriate outline specifications for the project. The
General Contractor (if any) or BHA will use these
specifications in preparing a more detailed opinion of
probable cost.
O. Design Development Cost Estimate
The project consulting team will prepare an opinion
of probable cost with a 10% contingency.
P. Meetings
1. Weekly Meetings - During this phase of
development we plan on having weekly
coordination meetings. All consulting team
members have included a minimum of 6-8 of
these weekly meetings. During this effort, BHA
will coordinate and direct the meetings in
conjunction with City staff. BHA will also
prepare and distribute weekly meeting minutes
indicating any open items. Project schedule
will also be tracked.
2. Meetings with Departments — Some
coordination with City departments may be
required at this stage of the plan development.
These plans may be conducted on an
individual basis.
3. Outside Agency Review — Review by agencies
outside of the department may be required
(PSCO, Cable, telephone, Fort Collins Water
and Sanitation District).
)V. Construction Documents (9o%) and Project
Development Plan
This step corresponds with formal submittal to the City
Planning Department for planning approvals. It also
corresponds with 90% complete construction
documentation. The above stated services described in
Task III. (Design Development) will be detailed to 90%
n
z
n� 5FRV1CF
completion. All of these plans will be prepared sufficiently
for submission to the City of Fort Collins for development
review as a Project Development Plan. Because of our
earlier and ongoing work with the various departments
we anticipate that these drawings will only require 1 or 2
short review cycles.

K MOTIVATION
It means a lot to us to be involved in a project that has such a
great impact on the lives of people in our City. We are so
proud to have been involved in the design of Fossil Creek
Park, and we love to tell people that we worked on it.
Designing for these people, our neighbors, is a big inspiration.
Having fun at work is important to us, and designing parks
brings a lot of joy to people in our office. I think it's because
there is so much design freedom. Our designer's minds have
the chance to wander to far-off places and to explore fun
ideas.
When we propose on a project like Spring Canyon Community
Park, it's more than just a project with a fee; it's where our kids
will play and our friends will run on the trails; our neighbors
will play soccer or softball, and our teenagers will skate. Our
motivation comes from a desire to make life better, and to
contribute to the beauty of our community.
We want to be a part of this effort. No doubt about it, parks
are the best opportunities we have to give back to the
community- while treating ourselves.

V. Presentation to Planning and Zoning Board
While this project technically does not require review
by the Planning and Zoning Board, our experience
has shown that very few, if any, projects can
successfully meet the requirements for a Type I review
by the City. We therefore have included preparation
for and representation at the Planning and Zoning
Board.
W. Construction Specifications
Prepare final construction specifications including use
of the City's General Conditions, Division I, and
required technical specifications. If a General
Contractor is used a unit price bid form may not be

BHA Design
BHA Design, Inc.
Company Profile
BHA Design Inc. is a landscape architecture and planning firm established in January of
1993. The firm size is currently 10 full-time landscape architects and one administrative
assistant. BHA provides landscape architecture, master planning, urban design, public
process, entitlements, and graphic design services to both public and private clients in a
variety of settings.
We have three areas of focus. The areas are both market focuses and elements that we try to
incorporate into each of our designs:
■ Sustainable Design
■ Therapeutic Design
■ Fun
Sustainable Design- Our world needs to reduce energy use. Since the 1950's America has
steadily increased its use of energy. Today our dependence on energy has created not only an
environmental threat, but also an economic and terrorist threat. At BHA we want to play a
role in helping our country reduce its dependence and in restoring a better environment.
Through careful, well thought out design and planning, we believe that Americans can reduce
their dependence and achieve a greater balance with our natural and built environment.
Therapeutic Design - One of the best ways to reach our spiritual selves is through the
landscape. A hike in the alpine, sailing on a lake, or running on a back country trail are all
ways to feel more closely attuned to both our environment and our spirits. Through the sense
of peace that comes from these activities we make a better world. BHA strives to provide this
experience in the built landscape. If we do our work properly, we think that users of the
landscape at our sites will have this experience in their everyday work and living environment.
Fun - What better than to laugh? Laughter fills our souls with happiness and makes us glad
" for our existence. We feel fun is an integral part of life and should be experienced by all
people. In each of our designs we try to bring a smile to someone. Through whimsical ideas
we bring a sense of well-being and try to lighten each person's day.
Operating Philosophies - From an operational perspective we focus on two basic tenets:
Innovation and Customer Service. Innovation to us means striving to provide our clients with
. • environmentally responsive designs that are unique, attractive, and contextually sensitive. We
find each project setting provides its own unique attributes with clues to new and interesting
design solutions. By understanding the site parameters, combined with the program elements
of the client, we are able to develop solutions that are site -sensitive, responsive, and have a
unique sense of place.
Our second major philosophy, Customer Service, means more than just meeting deadlines
and budgets, although those certainly are significant. It also means providing our clients with
constructive recommendations and constantly searching for ways in which to provide better
solutions. Friendliness and courtesy are essential ingredients of our means of
communication.

When you arrive at Fossil Creek Park you see kids swinging
from the tusks of a giant mammoth, climbing the bones of
a dinosaur, sneaking through the jaws of a shark, splashing
in the ancient watering hole and exploring the home of
Neanderthal Man. The park also features facilities for tennis,
basketball, soccer, baseball, inline hockey, and skateboarding
in an urban style skate park.
If you're in the mood for something a little quieter, sit on the
top of the large grassy knoll overlooking the park, with beautiful
views of Long's Peak, or walk along the miles of trails around
the park and explore the wetlands, the lakes, and Adventure
Island. When you are hungry, there are plenty of places to
spread out a picnic. Two large pavilions, meant to represent
the Greek Phoenix, a symbol of life and renewal, provide plenty
of space for gatherings.
BHA Design was the lead design firm. Our sub -consultants
included Design Concepts, The Larson Company, RB+B Architects,
Alltec Skateparks, Electrical Systems Consultants (ESQ, Aqua

Navigating vast uncharted oceans, crossing endless gross
prairies, negotiating treacherous mountain passes; these
experiences can be summed up in one vivid word: voyage.
That is the theme the community chose for Longmont's
newest neighborhood park. Utilizing the rich imagery
associated with the voyage theme, lead consultant BHA
Design has created a unique neighborhood park with a
colorful compass star spray garden, playful constellations,
' large ship berms, intertwined mazes of undulating walks
and a large globe plaza illustrating some of the great
historical voyages. Combining these rich thematic ele-
ments with a strong program including a skate park,
basketball, playgrounds, dog park, bmx track, shelters,
sand volleyball and plenty of open green space, Stephen
Day Park is sure to be a favorite among children and adults.

Lions Park is the heart of the Cheyenne
parks system. As its largest and oldest
community park, it hosts many com-
munity events and festivals. The park's
history strongly influenced the master
plan developed by BHA. The plan
included improvements that would
help unify the park, improve circulation,
and build upon the historic amenities
to create a unique character. Plans
included concepts for entry monuments
and signs that complement the existing
Art Deco inspired structures. Park amen-
ities include a Community House
adjacent to Sloan's Lake, amphitheatre
and bandshell, beach promenade,
renovated ballfield, a new playground
and picnic shelters, and a History Garden
located within an historic walled courtyard.

BHA was retained by the Town of Basalt, Colorado to prepare
a master plan for a 129-acre park located in the Mid Valley
between Aspen and Glenwood Springs. The park site was
historically a tree farm managed by the United States Forest
Service. It was subsequently transferred to Eagle County. The
Town of Basalt took the lead in preparing a detailed plan.

Sand Creek Park, a 100-acre park, is located
between the former Fitzsimmons Army Medical
Center and the former Stapleton International
Airport, both of which are under redevelopment.
The Sand Creek Regional Greenway Trail passes
through the park, linking open space throughout
the City of Aurora. The new pork will provide
recreational activities for the community while
enhancing the Sand Creek and preserving the
natural prairie and riparian ecosystems. BHA
developed thematic plans for three ponds,
interactive waterfalls, an amphitheater, a picnic
pavilion, low-water and equestrian creek
crossings, and a trail system through the park.

BHA was commissioned by the Cily of Fort Collins to develop
a plan for a proposed new 14-acre park located adjacent to
Johnson Elementary School. BHA's service included a public
charette process in which adjacent residents were actively in-
corporated into the design process. The park plan concept
that evolved created a swirling, spherical motion that invited
ploy and encouraged imagination on the part of adults and
children alike. A fanciful pavilion design was created that
anchors a visual swirl created in sculpted earthwork. All of the
energy of the site focuses on the central pavilion and picnic
area. In addition, a number of specially designed curving
walls, orbs, and special paving patterns were developed to
unite the project in a cohesive image that works both visually
and functionally.

Conceived during the
drought of 2002, which
took a serious toll on the
water supply of the resi-
dents of the City of Aurora,
BHA designed a 7-acre
Demonstration Garden
located adjacent to the,
new municipal center. •.__..... g,
The purpose of the garden is to educate the residents of Aurora
in the proper techniques of installing an energy and water efficient
landscape. Whimsical twig benches provide resting places, while
twig signs explain the 7 principles of xeriscape. Etched boulders
identify the different gardens. Many of the gardens are based on
xeriscape garden designs produced in pamphlets by Denver Water
and the City of Aurora. These gardens address issues of layout,
topography, sun exposure, year -round -effect, installation cost and
maintenance. Residents are encouraged to wander the gardens
with the pamphlets, generating ideas. They can then take the
pamphlets home for use in xeric plantings in their own yards.

BHA worked with Aller-Lingle Architects,
Ohlson Lavoie and the City of Fort
Collins to develop plans for the reno-
vation of the City Park Pool. The plans
envisioned the pool as a water play
area including features such as a lazy
river, water play features, zero depth
entry, a double flume slide, and
various water jets and geysers. Imagery
of the sun and water drops are incor-
porated into the pool deck for added
interest. Construction of the pool
improvements was completed in May
of 2003.

BHA, in collaboration with Lyman Davidson Dooley and Counsilman Hunsaker,
designed the recently named Pirate's Cove thematic water park in Englewood,
Colorado. The five -acre aquatic center will provide activities for all ages. The
project includes a lazy river, a triple flume slide, a leisure pool with zero depth
entry, a competitive pool, a spray ground, a children's sand play area, and more.
Theme elements include a "sunken galleon," replica cannons, a pirate sculpture,
and a pirate adventure aquatic play structure. Construction of the facility is
currently under way. The park is scheduled to open on Memorial Day, 2004.

BHA Design worked with the City of Fort Collins Engin-
eering Department to develop improvements along Taft
Hill Road between Drake Road and Horsetooth Road.
The streetscape design for the road widening project
incorporated extensive public participation and required
a close working relationship with residents and business
owners. The project included streetscape and median
design as well as trail design for the extension of the
Spring Creek pedestrian trail. This complex project inclu-
ded preservation of existing mature trees and incorpor-
ating adjacent resident wishes while still meeting the
geometric requirements of an arterial street and the
flood control requirements of Spring Creek.

Striking bonds of grasses blowing in the wind. Braided paths flanked by native flora.
Canyons, waterfalls, streams and rock bridges. What seems like a hike through one
of the many spectacular environments of the Front Range is the experience a visitor
to the new Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District is likely to have. Utilizing
native and xeric plant material, BHA design created an interpretative landscape that
compliments the surrounding agricultural vernacular. As a focal point of the landscape
design, native sandstone, shrubs, grasses and flora are used to create an artistic
interpretation of the Colorado Big Thompson Project (CBT). The District uses the

Historic District
Boulder, Colorado
Mundus Bishop Design, Inc. was
commissioned to prepare a
Cultural Landscape Assessment
and Master Plan for the
Chautauqua Park Historic District,
which consists of an early 1900s
residential neighborhood and the

pus and its contributing ele
ments.
Recommendations focus on:
- Resolving contemporary issues
such as parking, circulation
and evolving uses of the
Chautauqua Auditorium while
preserving the campus' historic
character and features.
- A comprehensive master plan
with a strategic implementation
strategy.

PARK AND OPEN SPACE
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
A Neighborhood and Regional Resource -park, recreation and open
space resources at Stapleton serve the recreation needs of both local and
metro residents.
A Prairie BioRegion Landscape - the Stapleton open space system is both
defined and characterized by the restoration of the prairie landscape
native to this place.
Multi -Dimensional Accessibility - Stapleton is a place that is accessible
in every aspect of the word -from physical accessibility to built facilities,
to non -motorized travel from place to place within the community and
region -wide trail system.
r..
Sustainable Practices - land and water resource management follow prin-
ciples ofsustainable design that are both cost effective and environmental-
ly beneficial.
A Tradition in Transition - Stapleton parks and open space will be an
expression of both traditional Denver park and parkway design and more
sustainable design approaches - establishing a design tradition for the 21st
. • century.
Place Based Learning - Stapleton' parks, recreation and open space are
used as both recreational and educational resources. A variety of learning
opportunities should be integrated into the park and open space environ-
ment through design offacilities and the programs that parks and open
space support.

ISSUES
BHA Design has extensive experience on the Spring Canyon
Community Park site. You may know that BHA Design prepared
the Conceptual Park Master Plan for the park site in 1996, and we
are currently working with the utility department on the design of
the Fort Collins Southwest Pump Station located in Cottonwood
Glen Park. Our familiarity with the property will enable us to move
quickly into the design process without an extensive startup period.
In the paragraphs that follow we have illustrated a few of the
design issues with which we are aware.
Neigh6orhood Concerns — With any planned changes, we expect
to have several concerned neighbors. The concerns that are
consistently raised with the development of new parks include:
noise, traffic, positioning of uses, ball field lighting, view
protection, and buffering. The Southwest Area Neighborhood
group (SWAN) has already sent out news letters notifying the
neighborhood of this project. BHA is very comfortable working
with the public, and we will support the City in addressing
neighborhood concerns one by one.
Ground Water— Two test holes in Cottonwood Glen Park have
been monitored over the last 9 months as part of the Fort Collins
Southwest Pump Station project. During that time the depth to
ground water has fluctuated quite a bit. In September of 2003 the
ground water was measured at 6.4 feet below ground, and on
March 4, 2005 the ground water was measured at 9.5 feet below
ground. Shallow ground water was also encountered during the
construction of the irrigation pond in Cottonwood Glen Park.
Shallow ground water could be beneficial for the establishment of
new wetlands along the re -aligned Spring Creek, but shallow
ground water may impact the park design in other ways.
Parks- Parks have historically been a combination of artistic
endeavor and the functional needs of serving an active recreation
population. Over the last 10-15 years, parks have started to
become more functional and less aesthetic in importance. We
have seen a number of parks that have been ball fields with few or
no trees and no thought given to the tremendous visual impact a
park can have on the community. BHA strongly supports park
design as an artistic expression in the landscape. Through the
artful integration of landscape and functional needs of the park,
we feel that a park such as Spring Canyon Park can be a legacy
for the residents of the City. Just as Rolland Moore Park, City Park
and Fossil Creek Park have provided wonderful visual
environments, Spring Canyon Park should achieve the same goal.
With the powerful presence of Pine Ridge Open Space combined

AN OVERVIEW OF OZ ARCHITECTURE (continued)
efficient transmissions of project documents, meeting minutes, project schedules
and more.
Project Management
To ensure that your project runs smoothly and cohesively, each Principal
takes on only a few projects at one time. Thus, you have a direct line of
communication to a team that is focused on giving you the finest design and
project management to complete your project on time and within budget.
Client/Architect Teamwork
The best way for OZ to understand your objectives and needs is through in-
depth discussion. Once your goals are delineated, a framework is built from
which the design will emerge.
We launch the design process with an investigation of how your building must
function, which includes conducting interviews with the owner and user groups.
We visit the site frequently during this process to connect the information we're
gathering with the site's potential and restrictions. Preliminary designs are then
developed based upon this information.
The Bottom Line
Our staff, management strategies, and the high level of attention we give to our
clients ensure that you get the most out of your facility's design.

with Spring Creek, we think the potential exists for this park to be
unparalleled in its beauty.
Natural Areas - The relationship of the park to Pine Ridge Open
Space and the foothills is fantastic. A herd of twelve deer and at
least two foxes are commonly seen in the park site. The mature
gnarled cottonwood trees are wonderful homes for the many song
birds and provide valuable habitat for other creatures. The
development of this park will interrelate with Spring Creek and
sensitivity will need to be given to the relationship between City
natural areas west of the park and the design of areas within the
park. Edges will be important and preservation/enhancement of
valuable habitat should be considered.
Design Review Process through tine City of Fort Collins - The
City of Fort Collins recently revised their planning approval
process. BHA has worked closely with the City in the last 5 years to
develop a more streamlined review process that removes much of
the financial risk associated with the traditional Project
Development Plan system of approval. Currently we are directing
Bayer properties efforts in the review process for the proposed new
Lifestyle Center to be located at Ziegler and Harmony Road. We
believe this is the first major project to be reviewed under the
modified system.
Under the new approach, drawings are submitted at approximately
the 20% completion point. This completion point corresponds with
the usual end of Schematic Design (SD) as determined by the
American Institute of Architects (AIA). Following the SD approval
the project then carries on through Final Plan.
BHA has worked extensively with every department in the City and
enjoys a reputation for fairness and thoroughness. We have never
had a project denied in Fort Collins and have guided many of the
largest projects in the City through review and approval including
Fossil Creek Park.
We understand that the park is a type I review under the current
Land Use Code however; our experience indicates that it is likely
we will require at least one modification. If necessary, we have
anticipated preparation of a modification and a P & Z review and
have included preparation for this in our scope of service.
MIDEWIN NATIONAL TALLGRASS PRAIRIE
THEMATIC DESIGN GUIDELINES
USDA FOREST SERVICE
Following the U.S. Forest Service National Design Guidelines, OZ devel-
oped the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie Thematic Design Guidelines
to restore 15,080 acres of farm and industrial land to native tllgrass prairie.
Sustainable design forms the foundation of these guidelines, and is the
philosophy that reflects the identity and mission of the Forest Service.

National Park Service
Gateway National Recreation Area
Staten Island, New York
Area: 5,000 sI
The Gateway Environmental Education Center is rooted in the landscape
of the shoreline between dunes and upland woods on Staten Island, NY.
Sustainable design practices include passive solar orientation and shading,
berming, and the use of natural and non -toxic building materials. Energy
and cost savings were achieved by using recycled metal roofing and cast -
in -place concrete walls. Simple architecture detailing also allowed the
National Park Service to save additional costs.

guidelines are part of a design review process which exists in the Park to
encourage a cooperative approach to planning, design and construction.

The Built Environment Image Guide was based on the U.S. Forest Service's
mission to enhance the quality of Forest Service facilities by producing a
document that guided future design of the built environment on all Forest
Service land throughout the U.S. OZ developed new design guidelines,
including architecture, graphic, and sustainable design. Week long interac-
tive workshops were held for each of the five U.S. Forest Service regions
to address natural and cultural context and sustainable design strategies
appropriate to each region.

SUNRISE CIRCLE AMPHITHEATER
AT FLAGSTAFF
City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks
A scenic icon in the City of Boulder, this amphitheater was originally
constructed by the Civilian Conservations Corps during the Depression.
Nestled among Ponderosa pines with spectacular views of the Boulder
valley, the granite fieldstone structure is a favorite setting for weddings.
However, the steep slopes make it inaccessible for people with physical
limitations. The City retained OZ to design an accessible path to the
seating areas and stage, while minimizing ecological impacts and protecting
the historic integrity of the property. OZ developed alternative solutions
that were illustrated as hand drawings over photographs and in a dynamic
computer simulation so that the public could visualize the completed
project. These alternatives are currently under review.

The setting of this project, near Des Moines, is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service's unprecedented restoration of 8,000 acres of rolling cornfields
to the native tall -grass prairie that dominated the region. The project
included: programming, master planning, design of a visitor center and
remote open-air classrooms. Sustainable Design is a guiding principle in
this project. Daylighting, rarely used in exhibit spaces, lowers energy costs
while allowing the changing Iowa light to enrich the visitor's experience.
Heating and cooling is achieved with an efficient ground -coupled
heat pump. Resource -efficient and non -toxic building materials used
throughout the structure are highlighted as exhibits themselves.

This Boulder Vehicle Storage Facility project includes storage facilities in
three buildings accessed by a paved service courtyard for use by a variety
of large vehicles owned by the City of Boulder Department of Public
Works. The physical size and unique features of each vehicle were
considered and influenced design decisions. The relatively flat site is
located on the eastern edge of the city. The site solution involved careful
building placement and vertical elevation control. Aesthetic integration
into an existing complex and building site were key to the design solution.
This includes pre -cast concrete, and steel frame and bar joist structure.
Interior walls are concrete block, and exterior finishes include face brick,
pre -cast concrete, and industrial metal facings.

Cache la Poudre Bike Trail
Extension and Bridge
Fort Collins, Colorado
Client Information
The City of Fort Collins Parks Planning and Development department
City of Fort Collins Parks
initially retained Ayres Associates to perform a feasibility level analysis
& Planning
of extending the Poudre River Bike Trail across the river just
215 N. Mason Street
downstream of the Overland Trail Road Bridge (a county bridge).
P.O. Box 580
Numerous abutment, pier, and multiple span bridge alignments were
Fort Collins, CO 80522
evaluated using HEC-RAS to assess their impact on the river's 100-
year floodplain. Once the project was found to be feasible, a
Reference
preliminary design was prepared of the best apparent alternative.
Mr. Craig Foreman
Work included topographic and cross section surveying and design of
(970) 221-6618
the trail extension along the river, a double span bridge crossing (288
feet total span), trail approaches, and extension of the trail under the
Mr. Jason Stutzman
existing Overland Trail Road bridge to Lyons Park. The purpose of
(970) 221-6366
the preliminary design was to aid the City in acquiring easements,
meet adjacent property owner concerns, determine whether a CLOMR

Ayres Associates was later authorized to initiate the final hydraulic
analysis and design of the project. The preliminary trail and bridge
alignment was progressed to a final design level with adjustments
made as necessary. All appropriate modeling and final hydraulic
design was completed for a CLOMR application to FEMA, which
included hydraulic modeling of the duplicate effective, corrected
effective, existing, and proposed conditions for the 100-year floodplain
and floodway. The 500-year floodplain analysis was also performed.
The hydraulic analysis of the corrected effective and existing
conditions uncovered significant changes to the regulatory FEMA
floodplain and floodways. Documentation of the modeling effort was
included in a hydraulic analysis report for submittal to FEMA and
Larimer County, which was quickly approved.
To protect endangered butterfly habitat, approximately 500 feet of
elevated boardwalk was added to the project. The boardwalk is above
the 100-year water surface elevation and runs through key riparian
habitat to the south bridge abutment. Bank protection was also
designed that included stacked boulders, buried riprap, river cobbles,
turf reinforcement, and vegetation.
