If additional meetings are necessary, they will be attended by Core Project Team (City & DDA) representatives. Task 3.0: Conceptual Design The purpose of this task will be to select a preferred design alternative from a list of identified conceptual alternatives. 3.1 — Project Base Mapping and Data Collection Based on information provided in the Request for Proposal, it is anticipated that the City will be responsible for providing project base mapping information and collecting most of the data that will be necessary to perform the conceptual alternatives analyses. This information includes: ➢ Survey data (full topography, roadway limits, existing right-of-way boundaries) ➢ Aerial mapping (note: aerial mapping is from May 2002) ➢ Existing and future -year daily traffic volumes and existing intersection turning movement counts ➢ Recent crash data ➢ Existing water, waste water, and storm water infrastructure ➢ Future water, waste water, and stormwater pipe sizes and layout Page 5 ➢ Historic and cultural property survey information ➢ Ecological and environmental assessment data ➢ Storm drainage modeling output ➢ Condition of Lincoln Avenue bridge over the Cache la Poudre River HDR will augment the project base mapping and collected data with: ➢ Photo analysis of the project area ➢ Summary of pertinent information gathered from the list of reference plans as identified in the RFP (i.e. the Downtown River Corridor Implementation Program, City Plan, Downtown Plan, Downtown Strategic Plan, Land Use Code RDR District, Poudre River Land Use Framework Plan, Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Fort Collins Brownfields Program Downtown River Corridor, Cache La Poudre River Natural Areas Management Plan, Action Plan for Sustainability Master Street Plan, SH14 Access Plan, and Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards) ➢ Base mapping of third -party utilities (Qwest, Xcel, etc.) as available HDR will work with the City's staff to ensure that all survey data needs are met. Once the survey data, aerial mapping, existing utilities and storm water data, and historic property survey information has been obtained from the City and HDR has performed the photo analysis, HDR will assemble an Inventory Map that depicts this data and present it to the Core Project Team for review and comment. The intent of this effort will be to resolve any issues concerning existing infrastructure and rights -of -way information presented in this map. One of the regularly scheduled project progress meetings will be used to discuss any comments. Deliverables: ➢ Inventory Map ➢ Photo Analysis 3.2 — Site Analysis With the base mapping in place and with input from the Core Project Team, HDR will evaluate and identify opportunities and constraints that may impact design solutions. These items will be graphically depicted over the aerial mapping to aid in communicating to the public and soliciting their comment. Deliverables: ➢ Opportunities and Constraints Map ➢ Natural Habitats and Features Impact Letter 3.3 — Transportation and Parking Study HDR will perform a transportation study to assess the safety and capacity needs of traffic within the project area. This information will be used to evaluate the impacts that each conceptual alternative will have on traffic and parking. HDR will utilize the provided existing and future -year traffic volumes and recent crash data to perform the transportation study. Traffic analyses will be performed using the Highway Capacity Manual methodologies and the Synch ro/Si mTraffic software suite. Levels of service criteria for vehicular traffic, pedestrians, bicycle Page 6 traffic, and transit service will be taken from the latest edition of the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS). Recommendations will be made that would result in acceptable levels of service for each mode of travel. The findings and conclusions of this study will be incorporated into the Transportation and Parking Study report. HDR will also perform a parking study to evaluate the potential for overall parking demand throughout the project area. The basis for this study will be the parking analysis findings and conclusions from the Downtown Strategic Plan; this will also include the applicable Principles from the Downtown Strategic Plan. HDR will supplement this data with an analysis of current zoning of the project area and current City standards to determine the total number of parking spaces that would be needed within the project area. The findings and conclusions of this study will be incorporated into the Transportation and Parking Study report. Deliverables: ➢ Transportation and Parking Study Report 3.4 — Conceptual Alternatives Analysis HDR will prepare up to three conceptual alternatives to begin the initial Framework Plan concepts, including visioning and infrastructure capacity and safety needs. All design work will be performed utilizing AutoCAD 2004. These alternatives will consist of roadway features, including typical sections, vehicular and bicycle travel lane characteristics, on -street parking orientation, and intersection traffic control; streetscape design concepts, including theme development, key feature areas, building setbacks, sidewalks, street crossings, locations for public art, environmental stewardship, and landscape concepts; and utilities and storm water infrastructure (to be provided by the City). Additionally, hand -drawn sketches will be prepared to help illustrate concepts. These alternatives will also include design standards that integrate infrastructure needs with the unique character of this historic and environmentally sensitive area. These alternatives will be developed by the Core Project Team and be presented to the Primary and Secondary Stakeholders, in accordance with the procedures identified in Task 2.2. The HDR team will also prepare plan view sketches and perspective sketches of proposed design solutions for urban design components. Deliverables: ➢ Conceptual Alternatives ➢ Right -of -Way Maps ➢ Opinion of Probable Construction Costs 3.5 — Preferred Alternative After the public meetings described in Task 2.2, the Core Project Team will convene. The primary purpose of this meeting will be to evaluate the public and agency input to select a preferred alternative. The preferred alternative will be carried forward into preliminary design. Page 7 Task 4.0: Preliminar Design The purpose of this task will be to refine the preferred alternative into a preliminary design set that can later be taken to final design. 4.1 — Geotechnical Study An analysis of subsurface conditions will be performed in accordance with the LCUASS. The primary output from this analysis will be the anticipated road, section, including excavation requirements, subsurface conditions, base course material and thickness, and wearing surface thickness. A geotechnical study report will be developed that will convey the analysis and findings. Deliverables: ➢ Geotechnical Study Report 4.2 — Preliminary Design Plans Preliminary design plans will be developed for the preferred alternative. Preliminary design will include: development of typical sections, horizontal geometry, vertical centerline geometry, and conceptual horizontal layout of curb, gutter, sidewalks, and property accesses.

The Downtown River Corridor is generally bounded by the Cache la Poudre River on the north, N. College Avenue on the west, Jefferson Street on the south, and Lincoln Avenue on the east. This contract will address the first phase of the Downtown River District Improvement Project, including the development of preliminary design drawings and cost estimates of needed transportation and utility improvements throughout the project area. The project area includes: ➢ Jefferson Street, from N. College Avenue to Lincoln Avenue ➢ Willow Street, from the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks to Lincoln Avenue ➢ Linden Street, from Jefferson Street to the south end of the bridge over the Poudre River (excluding the bridge) ➢ Lincoln Avenue, from Jefferson Street to the north end of the bridge over the Poudre River (including the bridge) Page 1 Description of Work Tasks Task 1.0: Project Management and Administration The purpose of this task will be to provide project direction and control for the Project. The HDR project manager will be responsible for development of the Project Guide, team coordination, quality control, document submittal, progress reporting, and overall project performance. Individual tasks associated with project management and administration will include: ➢ Project kick-off meeting with City and DDA staff ➢ Preparation of the Project Guide ➢ Regular project progress meetings with City and DDA staff ➢ Administration of HDR's Quality Assurance/Quality Control Program ➢ Preparation of monthly progress reports Deliverables: ➢ Delivery Plan, including the Project Guide ➢ Monthly progress reports Task 2.0. Stakeholder Coordination and Public Involvement The purpose of this task will be to garner public involvement and support for the project and appropriately involve representatives from various affected agencies and the community. Coordination of project design will occur at three levels: ➢ Core Project Team ➢ Primary Stakeholders ➢ Secondary Stakeholders The Core Project Team will consist of the project managers from the City of Fort Collins Transportation Planning and the DDA, key staff liaisons (Engineering, Advance Planning, Natural Resources, Utilities and Storm Water, Traffic, etc.), and the HDR team. This team will initiate all design considerations and task execution, providing approval of draft deliverables before presentation to the Primary Stakeholders and Secondary Stakeholders. This team will meet once per month throughout the life of the Project. The Primary Stakeholders will include individual property and business owners within and adjacent to the project area. This team will be selected early in the process to streamline communications between itself and the Core Project Team. Through the public meeting schedule described in this scope, the Core Project Team will present concepts and other deliverables to this team to obtain input and feedback. The Secondary Stakeholders will include key boards and commissions (Landmark Preservation Commission, Natural Resources Advisory Board, Transportation Board, Planning and Zoning Board), the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and Downtown Business Association (DBA), Chamber of Commerce, City Council, the Colorado Department of Transportation, the Union Pacific Railroad, Environmental Page 2 Protection Agency (EPA) and the general public. These stakeholders will be invited to provide comment through submittal documents and their presence will be requested at the public meetings. The boards and commissions, DDA, DBA, and City Council may also request that the Core Project Team present project progress at various stages throughout the design process, in accordance with the conditions described in Tasks 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3. Deliverables; ➢ Public and Stakeholder Involvement Plan ➢ Summary. of comments and common ideasjkey themes received at each public and stakeholder meeting 2.1 — Initial Public Meetings The purpose of these meetings will be to gather information that will assist with the development of the conceptual alternatives. HDR and representatives from the Core Project Team will conduct meetings with individual property and business owners to gather specific information about each of their sites and/or the project in general. This effort will begin as an open house, "Town Hall," format where these property and business owners will be the only invited attendees. In addition to the Town Hall meeting, HDR will reserve one full day for those property and business owners who wish to have a one-on-one meeting with the Core Project Team. These meetings would occur at City offices or on -site at the various businesses/properties and would be held by appointment only. After the Primary Stakeholders meetings have occurred, a public open house for the general public and other secondary stakeholders will take place. The open house will occur within two weeks of the conclusion of the Primary Stakeholder meetings. It is likely that the identified boards and commissions, the DDA and DBA and City Council could request that the Core Project Team present project progress at one of their meetings. HDR anticipates that up to two (2) such meetings could occur following the initial public meetings. Additionally, individual meetings will be conducted with CDOT and the UPRR to discuss any proposed impacts and/or changes to their facilities within the project area. If additional meetings are necessary, they will be attended by Core Project Team (City & DDA) representatives. HDR's attendance at such meetings could also be requested. The quantity of these meetings will be limited to four (4) throughout the project. HDR will provide presentation materials for these meetings, including the Inventory Map, with the base mapping and aerial photography provided by the City, and the Opportunities and Constraints Map (described in Task 3.2). HDR will also provide comment cards to record public comments. It is anticipated that the City and the DDA will be responsible for advertising the one-on-one meetings and public open house, as well as reserving space for each meeting. HDR will assist in the development of the information that would be included in the advertising. HDR will also assist the City to incorporate this information on the City's website. Following the public open house, HDR will arrange a Core Project Team meeting to evaluate the information received. Page 3
