This report is a summary of the LEED process and findings for the Lincoln Center project
in Fort Collins, Colorado. Two other documents are part of the LEED analysis and are
included with this report: LEED NC v 2.2 Registered Project Checklist and a LEED
Analysis for Conceptual Design spreadsheet. The City of Fort Collins has set a goal of
attaining a minimum Gold Level rating in the LEED for New Construction program. The
purpose of this analysis is to determine the following:
• The most advantageous LEED version and program
• Conceptual design strategies that will assist with cost effectively meeting the
LEED Gold goal
• Determination of issues or concerns that will need to be addressed in order to meet
LEED credit requirements.
LEED version and program
The Lincoln Center conceptual design calls for the existing building to have new additions
on part of every fagade of the building, essentially creating a new exterior appearance and
adding space for public functions, circulation and upgraded public and service amenities.
The existing Lincoln Center facility will receive some new finishes and some lighting,
plumbing and HVAC upgrades.
Because the new additions are so integrated with the existing, there is no straightforward
way to separate the new construction for LEED purposes. We evaluated the available
LEED programs of LEED for New Construction (NC) for part or all of the building, LEED
for Commercial Interiors (CI) and LEED
Mr. Dave Lingle
June 18, 2009
Page 2
Our recommendation is that the building will score best, and be most consistent with the
City of Fort Collins intent to have Gold level high performance and environmental
qualities, with the LEED NC program covering all of the new construction and renovation
of the existing building. The LEED NC Checklist currently shows 42 points as achievable,
with another 16 points that are in need of more development.
Separately, we reviewed the LEED NC version 2.2 and the new LEED NC 2009 program.
The project will score better under the LEED NC 2.2 program, due in part to the limited
opportunities to improve energy efficiency in the existing building. As a result, the City of
Fort Collins authorized us to register the project under the LEED NC 2.2 version. The
LEED Online website has been set up, with all `yes' and `maybe' credits shown on the
LEED Registered Project Checklist marked as attempted.
We recommend that during the next design phase, when more is known about the
opportunities for improving energy efficiency, that the LEED version be re-evaluated. The
project can transfer to LEED NC 2009 at no charge until the end of December 2009.
Conceptual Design LEED strategies
The Conceptual Design has included a number of strategies to meet the LEED Gold goal:
• Reuse of over 95% of the existing walls, roof, floors and other elements.
• Small, but strategic additions to the existing building to greatly improve the facility
function and comfort to visitors and staff.
• Improved energy efficiency in lighting, new mechanical units, improved wall
insulation and high performance windows.
• No added parking, but with some spaces re -allocated for fuel -efficient vehicle
parking.
• Roof stormwater runoff will be infiltrated on site through swales and landscaping
features.
• Protection of existing trees and plans for native or adapted landscaping that will be
water -efficient.
• Site lighting will be full cut-off fixtures and will not have light trespass beyond the
site.
• Low VOC finishes for the new and existing areas, including paints, adhesives,
sealants, carpet and composite wood.
• The plumbing fixtures in the existing areas of the building will be replaced with
efficient flow and flush fixtures of the same high efficiency of the new
construction. The goals are to use dual flush toilets, pint per gallon urinals, low
flow lavatory and kitchen faucets, and low flow shower heads.
• Structural, exterior wall and interior finishes have high recycled content.
• Innovation credits are planned for high levels of water efficiency (over 40%
savings), green cleaning procedures, recycled content over 30% and green
education integrated into the building.

Issues or Concerns to be confirmed during the next design phase
A number of questions arose during the conceptual design that could not be answered. Most of those
items are included in the LEED Analysis for Conceptual Design spreadsheet, but a summary of the key
concerns are summarized below. Since the Conceptual Design team did not include civil, landscape,
mechanical or electrical engineering consultants, many of the items will be able to be resolved once they
join the design team in the next phase of design.
• Development of the landscape design with native or adapted species to meet the requirements of
credits SS 5.1, SS 5.2 and WE 1.1.
• Calculation of the pre and post development stormwater quantity to determine if we can meet the
required 25% reduction. The concept design plans to send roof runoff to landscape features or
swales in order to allow on -site infiltration, which will help achieve this goal. The stormwater
concepts bear on credits SS 6.1 and SS 6.2.
• Confirmation of the roof system or membrane type to determine if the roof will qualify for the
credit SS 7.2 heat island requirements of SRI of 78 or better.
• Confirmation of the refrigerant type and quantity for EA Prerequisite 3 and credit EA 4.
• Development of an energy model for credit EA 1 that includes the existing building to determine
if the strategies lined out in the conceptual design meet the goal for at least 6 points (28% better
than base for all new construction, an estimated 22% better when interpolated with the existing
building square footage.)
• Analysis of cost of meeting the 2.5% annual energy goal from renewable energy after the energy
results are known.
• Calculation of the existing roof, walls and floor to remain for credit MR 1. Our preliminary
calculations in the conceptual design phase show we will meet the 75% goal and the 95% goal.
This will need to be confirmed as the design develops in the next phase.
• Confirmation that the existing building meets the minimum ventilation requirements for EQ
prerequisite 1. The existing equipment may need to be adjusted or replaced if the minimum
requirements cannot be met. The calculation should be done early in the next design phase by
the mechanical engineer.
• Confirmation of the cost of meeting credit EQ 1 (outdoor air delivery monitoring) which requires
outside air measurement, controls and carbon dioxide sensors in densely occupied spaces.
• Confirmation of whether the existing HVAC equipment can accommodate higher efficiency
filtration (MERV 13 or higher) required for credit EQ 5.

CHAPTER 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
The Lincoln Center is located at 417 W. Magnolia Street. Fort Collins opened the Lincoln
Center for culture and art in 1978. It has become an iconic entertainment facility that serves the
Front Range of Northern Colorado. The complex has two indoor theaters used for plays, music,
dance, and various other forms of artistic interest. The Lincoln Center stages spotlight local
thespian troops as well as popular traveling acts. The Center has three indoor galleries which
often exhibit children's art from the community, along with rotating displays of well known
national artist's work. Addition and renovation to update this facility is essential to carry forward
the Center's tradition of high level form, function, performance, and personality into the 215t
century. With some well conceived modernization this venue will retain it's popularity and
continue to bring joy and happiness to visitors and residents alike.
GENERAL
On behalf of the Lincoln Center the City of Fort Collins is seeking qualifications and the
best possible combination of architectural design and engineering services for the
design of the Lincoln Center "Addition and Renovations." Conceptual design of the
facility has determined that additions to the building will be approximately 17,050 square
feet, and the renovation areas are programmed for approximately 24,660 square feet.
2. REQUIREMENTS
The successful team will be responsible for ALL disciplines required for the design,
engineering, cost estimating, planning and official review services necessary for
completion of the project from design development through final design,
construction documents, construction administration and project close-out. The
team design professional will be responsible for ushering the design through the
development review process. The successful team will be responsible for meeting all
state and local licensing requirements in the, design of the facility. The standards
referenced and included in this RFP are intended to establish the expectations the City
has for this project regarding quality and performance.

2. SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
Definition of Sustainable Design: "Meeting the needs as a society today without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs."
It should not be a surprise to know that 35-50% of the total energy produced in this
country is consumed by the built environment. The resources required to attempt to
create, operate and replenish this level of infrastructure and necessary income are
enormous and diminishing. U.S. consumers utilize greater resources per capita than
Page 5 of 21
any other people worldwide. We consume about 20,000 pounds per person per year of
construction -related materials. These include virgin forest products, fuels, steel, glass,
cement and plastics. Twenty to thirty percent of the waste being delivered to landfills
across the country is building demolition/construction waste. We cannot continue this
trend without severely impacting future generations.
Integrated, innovative, sustainable design and construction techniques minimize energy
usage and damage to the environment while providing benefits for people using the
building. Sustainable development ideally results in the following benefits: energy and
water savings, reduced pollution, conservation of natural resources, promotes recycling,
better indoor air quality, enhanced occupant comfort, productivity and performance,
enhanced building durability, and reduced maintenance costs.
Balancing initial construction costs and long-term operational costs will be an important
challenge. The integrated design team will be expected to use an integrated "whole
building" design approach to take into consideration the effect the design elements,
energy and resource constraints, building systems, and building function have on one
another. Use of an integrated approach is required to address daylighting opportunities,
building envelope, and building system choices. Use of a multidisciplinary team
approach that allows all team members to share specialized expertise and coordinate
their individual efforts to achieve a synergistic, environmentally responsible building is
essential to our success.
The Architect/Engineer, as the leader of the integrated design team and process, shall
be responsible for maintaining the focus on and commitment to the integrated
energy/high performance goals of the project. All team members must be encouraged to
evaluate the benefits of innovative high efficiency design ideas in a cooperative, creative
atmosphere.
INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Do not use products and materials that contain asbestos, carcinogens, volatile
organic compounds, and other known toxins.
Do not design mechanical systems that encourage the growth of molds, fungi, and
bacteria.
HUMAN PERFORMANCE
Project design should create spaces that are safe, healthy, and comfortable. Avoid
factors that introduce glare, temperature extremes, odors, and noise into the building.

k. Any "special systems" design services needed for a performing arts facility.
I. Interior design and furniture design services.
m. LEED consulting and all documentation submission to USGBC.
The City of Fort Collins requires, that the principal architect has some experience in the
design of performing arts facilities and include a planning firm experienced in working
with the City of Fort Collins planning and development review process.
CHAPTER 4 - SPECIAL INTERFACES
1. SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
The goal of the City is that the project will be designed using the U.S. Green Building
Council's (USBGC) LEEDTm Green Building Rating System for new construction and
major renovations, to earn a "Gold" certification. The selected design team will
coordinate all LEED requirements with the Owner and ultimately with the construction
contractor.
2. ENERGY MODELING
The City of Fort Collins will provide the energy modeling services and the design team
will coordinate any/all of their services with the City's consultant.
3. COMMISSIONING
The City of Fort Collins will provide the commissioning firm and the design team will be
required to coordinate the design and ultimate construction administration services and
LEED requirements with the City's commissioning agent.
4. ART IN PUBLIC PLACES
The design team will be required to work with an artist selected through the City's "Art in
Public Places" Program which is in charge of implementing design and installation of
artistic elements into the project. A member of the design team will be added to the
committee that selects the artist. The City will contract directly with that artist. The
design team will be required to coordinate their efforts with the selected artist and the
APP Program Administrator.
5. COMMUNICATION WORK
The City of Fort Collins will be responsible for all communication work (telephone and
computer cabling). It is intended the design team will assist in the coordination of this
effort.
CHAPTER 5 - QUALIFICATION AND SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
