RE: Request for Proposal forthe Poudre River Public Library
Dear Mr. O'Neill and the Members of the Selection Committee:
Reinventing and expanding your library is an exciting and important opportunity for the City of Fort Collins
and the Poudre River Public Library District. We believe that OZ Architecture has the right qualifications,
abilities, availability and enthusiasm to help you create a beautiful new library that realizes your vision and
is completed on time and within budget.
OZ Architecture is excited to submit our qualifications for the main library remodel and expansion of the
Poudre River Public Library District, a project designed by our predecessor firm, Everett Ziegel. This is a
testament to our Firm's longevity. We are maintaining a strong local and national presence despite the
current economy, due to our established relationships with existing clients and our strong focus on client
satisfaction. Our mission to deliver unique solutions for unique clients is exemplified in our broad range of
libraries designed and built for many different library districts.
OZ has extensive experience in current library design. We understand modern public libraries have become
much more than depositories for books. Collections have expanded to include many other types of media,
and today's libraries must be designed with a high level of flexibility, allowing uses to change as techno-
logical advances are made and your user base grows. OZ believes strongly that the library layouts should
be intuitive, flexible, and provide a memorable experience. This has been an important goal at Loveland,
Basalt, and Stapleton, as well as at our earlier Blair —Caldwell African American Research Libraryfor DPL.
Our plans emphasize flexible service points and customer self-help, including self check-out stations and
a self "holds" pick-up area. We are also aware of how important our library designs are for individuals for
whom English is not their primary language and, in general, how incredibly important the library is to the
. success of a vibrant community.
Sustainable solutions are integral to our design solutions, whetherthey are pursuing LEED certification or
not. Our firm has been implementing these strategies long before LEED was developed.
Regarding phasing strategies to allow the library to remain open during construction, two decades of de-
signing school addition/remodeling projects provides us with a depth of expertise to work with you and the
■ general contractor to solve this issue.

Pursuing LEED Silver
Certification
The 28,000 square foot building is
located on a corner site in the New
Urbanism design- inspired Stapleton
community. The L-shaped building
intentionally reinforces the street edge
and is envisioned to be transparent to
allow a "window" into the activities of
the library. The entries are connected
with a sweeping, sheltering curved roof
structure that becomes the "front porch"
forthe community. A continuous light
monitor extends east and west along the
length of the building, which provides
pools of natural daylight into the central
part of the building, organizes the vari-
ous program elements inside and creates
a highly,visible community beacon.
STAPLETON LIBRARY
Denver, Colorado
1. History & Experience
STAPLETON LIBRARY
Denver, Colorado
The Stapleton Library will be the first
branch library that synthesizes DPL's
innovative "Children's and Family" and
"Contemporary" styles into one library.
The former style focuses on kids com-
ing to the library to explore on their own
and on parents or caregivers coming to
the library to explore and interact with
their children. This branch will focus on
the needs of a technology -enabled adult
demographic.
The design team has tapped the local
community to participate in the design
of their new Library. The community
message was that the Stapleton Library
needed an emphasis on community gath-
ering, have a civic presence, be a com-
fortable place, and to take stylistic cues
from more of the traditional architecture
in the community rather then the nearby,
modern styles of the Town Center.
COMMUNITY PROCESS
The desire for a truly transparent and col-
laborative design process led the Denver
Public Library to host four Community
Meetings. The community was encour-
aged to dream and think big and to iden-
tify opportunities for a variety of specific
elements such as Building Character,
Site, Interior Environment, Technology
and Sustainability.
The primary forum for project develop-
ment occurs at weekly Design Advisory
Group meetings where the stakehold-
ers participate in collaborative sessions
to discuss programming, review design
progress and give input and direction and
to strategize about the community meet-
ing presentations.

Denver Public Library
Denver, Colorado
The renovation of the Decker branch
for Denver Public Library brought
new enhancements to this beautiful
Carnegie Library. Energy efficient
lighting, low flow water fixtures
and conversion to a "Family Style"
library were the main goals with
this remodel. The new layout now
allows caregivers.and children to do
their own tasks but still be near each
other. New RFID technology and
self -check stations were incorporat-
ed into the original circulation desk.
This historic neighborhood"gem"

The renovation of the Park Hill
branch for Denver Public Library
brought new enhancements to this
well used Carnegie Library. Energy
efficient lighting, low flow water
fixtures and conversion to a "Family

Adult collection now houses the
Children's collection along with
popular materials for all. The well
used media collection took the place
of the former large circulation desk.
A smaller circulation desk, several
service points and self check stations
were incorporated to allow staff to
rove and spend more time with their
customers. New furniture, built in
window seats with added electrical
outlets for laptop users, and
upgraded finishes have transformed
this popular neighborhood library.

HADLEY LIBRARY
Denver, Colorado
This 9,2oo square foot extensive renovation gives the appearance of a totally new
building to this 296o branch library situated in a residential community. The design
provides a new exterior envelope, reorganizes site access for pedestrians and cars,
provides expanded reading rooms, a new children's area, additional shelving for
collection, and expands the community use facilities. The roof has been designed
to echo the gables found on rooflines in the neighborhood. The new roof also
expresses the interior functions and gives a sense of human scale to the building.
Engineering design brings the reorganized building up to current codes, life safety,
and handicapped accessibility standards. New lighting is incorporated into the de-
sign, with a strong emphasis on maximizing natural light usage at the new exterior
envelope. Children using the library enjoy looking through the low level windows
in the Children's area.

OZ Architecture partnered with Belford Watkins Group
on the remodel of the existing 3z,000 s.f. Loveland Public
Library and the new 25,000 s.f. addition.
OZ provided the space planning and interior design service,
which included selection and specification of all finishes and
materials, custom millwork, lighting fixture selection and
custom shelving end panels, as well as,collaborated with
Belford Watkins Group on the architectural design of the
new addition. We also coordinated all the existing shelving
and furniture to work with the new space plan and selected
and specified all the new shelving, furniture and fixtures.
This new remodel incorporated an automated handling
system, self check stations, a large computer lab and smaller
service points that allow their limited staff to serve this large
library. Good sight lines and way finding were key elements
that influenced the interior layout and design. The main
circulation spine doubles as a gallery space where custom
display cases were designed to house their art collection.
LOVELAND LIBRARY

The new Loveland Library will provide. all the different types
of ancillary spaces a thriving and growing community needs.
Multi -purpose rooms, formal and informal meetings spaces,
a small cafe, collaborative open seating areas, study rooms,
and a small business center.
There are destination spaces for everyone in this library. The
computer lab can bejoined with the public computers to
create one large computing area, or broken down when used
forteaching opportunities. The Children's library is a focal
point with their large collection housed in creative custom
end panels, homework study room and separate activity
room. Teens will be invited into their space with a game
room, computer banquette that will allow multiple teens to
use a computer together, and a casual gathering space. The
expansion allows for a IargerAdult collection and a wonder-

We are providing several case

With the project goal of achieving
LEED Gold, we felt it was important
to select a Mechanical/Electrical
and Pluming engineering firm who
are true leaders and advocates for
sustainable high performance build-
ings. Their mission of improving life
through a better built environment
is a commitment that goes beyond
their project work. They spend time
educating owners and clients across
the nation about the benefits of
sustainable practices. They are cur-

efficiency of the envelope. Daylighting
and energy modeling are important tools
in deciding the building form, percentage
of glazing, and shading strategies. Sizes
of roof overhangs and light shelves can
be optimized through modeling. Glazing
type and shades/blinds also help reduce
heat gain and prevent glare issues. Solar

FORT COLLINS DISCOVERY MUSEUM
Fort Collins, Colorado
The Fort Collins Discovery Museum
will house exhibits and artifacts that
provide information on primarily science
and history. The exhibit area will
contain both permanent and traveling
exhibitions. The museum has space
for several classrooms, a gift shop and
cafe. An upper level will feature a digit
dome for astronomy presentations. The
landscaping surrounding the building will
allow for further exploration and includes
an outdoor amphitheater. Total building
square feet is approximately 46,000.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
FEATURES
The City of Fort Collins envisions the new
Fort Collins Discovery Museum to'be a
teaching tool for sustainability. Not only
will the building itself provide hands on
learning experiences on environmentally
friendly building construction but there
will also be exhibit space within the
museum dedicated to environmental
issues and sustainable building practices
The City's goal is to achieve LEED Gold
certification and a minimum of 26%
energy cost savings. The building will far
exceed this goal by reaching over 5o%
energy cost savings and may reach a
Platinum rating.
Energy and water conservation is an
important factor in the design of the
museum. The facility is installing water
conserving fixtures and a building
automation system to help control
energy usage. The building will be fully
commissioned to ensure systems are
performing at maximum efficiency and
a whole building energy model will be
used to analyze strategies during design.
High performance glazing is strategically
placed to maximize daylighting without negatively affecting
exhibit spaces. The roof will also be designed for the
possibility of future PV installation.
CARPOOL AND PUBLIC TRANSIT
The museum site is located just north of Old Town Ft. Collins
and a few blocks from the downtown bus station. This area
is developing into the arts district and many retail shops,
restaurants and hotels are located in the area. Visitors can
easily walk or bike from downtown or use the adjacent
regional trail system to reach the museum. Bicycle racks
will be provided for both visitors and staff. A shower and
changing room is provided for bikers also. The museum will
encourage visitors to carpool or use public transit. Several
bus lines have stops near the museum and the bus station
is within easy walking distance. Preferred parking will be
provided for fuel-efficient/low-emitting vehicles.
OPEN SPACE
A large amount of the site will be preserved as open space.
A series of paths will lead the visitors through the immediate
surroundings of the museum which will be landscaped
a
FORT COLLINS DISCOVERY MUSEUM
Fort Collins, Colorado
with drought tolerant and native Colorado plants. Natural
processes such as bioswales and the use of gravel roads/
paths will promote stormwater infiltration onsite and help
remove pollutants.
MATERIALS
Concrete was selected as a primary building material for its
durability, local availability (which reduces transportation
impacts) and ability to use as a finished surface reducing
materials used in the building. Precast concrete wall
panels and sealed concrete flooring are used throughout
the building. The cork tiles in the workroom and corridors
come from rapidly renewable resources. Many of the
materials such as gypsum board and ceiling tiles contain
recycled content. Resources will be further conserved by
implementing a construction waste management program
to keep materials out of landfills. The project supports
sustainable forestry practices by requiring FSC certified
wood.
Materials selected in the interior of the building are low -
emitting for healthier indoor air quality. The specified carpet

tiles were selected to reduce
waste and for ease of replacing
single tiles if become damaged.
All hard surface flooring is
FloorScore certified. Improved
indoor air quality is also
supported by a green cleaning
program and by implementing
a program during construction
to eliminate contaminants from
entering into the building. Entry
mats will help reduce pollutants
tracked in during occupancy. Air
delivery will be monitored to
ensure adequate ventilation for
visitors at all times.

The new office building will serve as
the primary purpose of the proposed
project is a corporate headquarters
for Total Community Options (TCO)
and their affiliates including Total
Longterm Care, Seniors Inc., and
Long Term Care Options. The new
combined space will centralize
departments that are currently
spread across the city. The corporate
headquarters will mainly be used for
administrative functions, including
HR and Accounting. However, there
is also a semi -transient group of case
managers that frequently travel to
visit clients.
TOTAL LONGTERM CARE
Lowry Campus, Denver, Colorado
The program for the proposed
building originally began as a 6o,000
SF office. During initial design
charrettes Total Community Options
determined it would be possible to
reorganize the entire work culture
so the same operations could be
accomplished in a smaller facility.
Instead of a traditional office model,
TCO and the design team developed
an energetic, integrated and flexible
workplace where employees do
not have assigned seating, are
encouraged to telecommute,
and continually interact with
associates from various parts of the
organization. Enhanced interaction
is desired and accomplished
through smaller workstations,
collaboration nodes, and a stunning
atrium gathering space. TCO also
desired opportunities for various
levels of interaction and privacy
by creating both collaborative and
personal areas - impromptu seating
and meeting areas, open offices,
quiet areas, confidential enclaves,
a fireplace, outdoor balconies,
outdoor workspaces and an atrium.
Through the reinvention ofTCO's
organizational structure the
program was reduced by 15,000
SF to approximately 45,000 SF.
The materials will be durable and
timeless. Brick veneer, glass and
stucco are the primary materials on
the facade.
SUSTAINABLE
DESIGN FEATURES
It is important to TCO to provide a
healthy and comfortable building
that employees love to work in and
are proud of. The annual savings in
operating costs is also a primary driver
in the decision to pursue a green office
building. Passive systems such as
daylighting, building orientation and
natural ventilation will be utilized as

much as possible. Low VOC and other
healthy finishes will be specified to
improve indoor air quality.
TCO is interested in onsite renewable
energy and is installing a photovoltaic
system located on the roof and
featured on the atrium fins. TCO has
designed the campus to feel more like
a park by connecting structures with
a series of greenways and outdoor
spaces. These outdoor spaces can be
used by employees as informal meeting
spaces, a place to eat lunch, or simply a
place to relax and enjoy the mountain
views.
Natural areas will use native and/
or xeric plants and a high efficiency
irrigation system with the goal to
reduce water consumption from the
landscape by a minimum of 5o%.
Additional water savings through low
flow plumbing fixtures should achieve
goal of 40% savings at minimum.

TCO would like to provide infrastructure such as bike racks, preferred parking, shared scooters/bikes for short trips and
encouraging use of surrounding bus and bike routes. A permanent recycling program will be put in place for employees.
The windows will be insulated and Low-E, but not tinted to allow for occupant views and a strong connection to the
exterior environment. High performance glazing will be specified and windows located on the east and west fa4ade
are minimized as much as possible. The building will be oriented to reduce the west and southwest exposure. Atight
building envelope with increased levels of insulation will help mitigate the transfer of heat through exterior walls. A high
efficiency HVAC system is included with daylight sensors to take advantage of natural light.

Et SUSTAINABLE
DESIGN FEATURES
As an international mining company
sustainability is a huge core value
for RioTinto. An expertdesign
team was assembled that could
thoughtfully & efficiently evaluate
strategies to acheive the target
project goal of LEED NC Silver. The
owner provided a preliminary LEED
scorecard and goals they wanted to
target. The design team evaluated
these goals and continuously
tracked achievability, cost, efficiency
and lead time impacts.
The research and development labs
were also included in the evaluation
`
and were designed using the EPA
LABSzi guidelines, a specific
sustainable initiative geared towards
labs. The guidelines look at specialty
areas that are often overlooked in
'
typical rating systems.
The project consisted of a complete
interior demolition and remodel
of an existing office building
constructed in the early 298o's.
'
Electrical upgrades and replacement
of the HVAC system were required
to bring the building up to current
'
office standards. An energy efficient
evaporative cooling to meet the
demands of today's office efficiency,
as well as the special requirements
of the lab and data center. Low
flow fume hoods were used to
reduce the volume of exhaust
without compromising safety. In
addition to the new HVAC, the
existing roof ballast was painted
'
white for increased reflectivity and
'
a reduction in heat gain. A Building
Management System was installed
to provide a very high level of
control for lighting, heating and
cooling.
Despite the fast track construction
schedule the contractor achieved an
outstanding 78.7% of construction
■
waste diverted from landfills.
One sustainable strategy for

materials is to utilize salvaged
materials. material reuse had the

schedule due to short lead times. Reused
movable partitions were utilized for all private
offices, and designed to maximize flexibility.
This key decision saved not only materials cost
of drywall and studs but was critical to reducing
construction time. A high density shelving system
was relocated from the previous office also
contributing to material reuse.
Not only were finishes specified sustainable, they
also featured vendors whose products contain
minerals provided by Rio Tinto, showcasing
how the company's products contribute to
sustainability across multiple industries. This
integration included carpet, paint, acoustic
insulation, exterior insulation, ceramic tile, ceiling
tile and even the insulation used in appliances.
Additional sustainable finishes were integrated
throughout including cork flooring, linoleum,
woven wood wall covering, cork wall covering,
and recycled metal solid surface materials. The
creative integration of these elements provides
a fresh look, the "green" materials blending in
seamlessly.
A huge shift in corporate culture was achieved
with the layout of all private offices to the interior
of the space and a 6o%reduction in the quantity
of private offices based on previous locations.
This shift allowed daylight/views throughout
the space. Given the existing architecture of
the building, the LEED daylight point was not
achieved howeverdaylighting at the perimeter
areas remained a priority forthe owner. Forthe
private offices, access to views was achieved
through glazing in office walls facing perimeter
windows, lowered partition heights and glazing
on the systems furniture. This concept was
continued into the lab areas by locating them at
the perimeter on Floor i and 2, real estate not
frequently devoted to lab space.

The design vision is for the
library to serve as a'junction'
for the elements: Community,
Sustainability, Education, Nature,

concept provides a seamless link
between all of these elements, thus
creating an inviting environment for
stimulating thought and creating a
haven for knowledge.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A replacement school for the Summit County School District, Silverthorne
Elementary opened in September of 2004. At full capacity, the 62,000 sf school will
serve 450 students. OZ Architecture teamed with BOORA Architects of Portland,
Oregon, to deliver a state-of-the-art facility with respect to both functionality
and sustainability. On a site jointly held with the Town of Silverthorne, the
school shares play fields with the Town's future park. The two-story design takes
advantage of exceptional views and maintains a compact volume, adding to the
building's energy efficiency.
BUILDING Et ENVIROMENTAL RESULTS
Anticipated design results for the Silverthorne Elementary School include
substantial savings in energy, building maintence and operations, and long-term
systems cost. There were increased initial construction cost due to several of the
sustainable design elements that were chosen, however since they were planned
for and intergrated into the design at an early stage of the process, the design
PROJECT HIGHLIGHT
SILVERTHORNE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Silverthorne, Colorado
and construction team were able to manage those cost throughout
the project. By establishing the sustainable goals at the outset of the
project, the designers and engineers were able to achieve a reduced
footprint for the classrooms by creating a two story building, allowing
them to focus on daylighting the interiors of the classrooms and
corridors, increasing the thermal mass of the exterior walls to create a
Smart envelope, and to research and use regional materials that reflect
the natural landscape and local architecture. The Cafeteria, Auditorium
and Gymnasium were combined to maximize the intial investment and
free up additional education dollars. This area was segmented from
the main building to serve the community use needs in the evenings
while maintaining a locked enviroment for the classrooms. Additional
strategies employed on the project allowed a shared use for the
park across the street, Small Group Learing ares centered between
classrooms, increased overhangs at the roof and entry's to mitigate
heavy snow accumulation, non -toxic interior materials and energy
modeling utilizing the University of Oregon Energy studies in Buildings
Laboratory. All of these concepts were brought together to produce a
new school that will serve the Summit County school district now and
well into the future.

Project Overview
M.E. GROUP provided MEP engineering, building performance analysis, LEED consulting, and new building commissioning for the 11,000 sf Band
Training Facility. The building includes rehearsal, recording studios and offices. This building incorporates the first geo-exchange system on the site
The Band Training Facility is LEED Gold Certified.
Targets and Goals
• 30% energy reduction, when compared to ASHRAE 90.1-2004.
• LEED Silver mandate
• LEED GOLD at no additional cost or impact to schedule (team decision)
• Total contract time including design and construction for the Band Training Facility was to be less 450 days from the notice to proceed.
Energy Analysis Techniques
To reach our energy goals, M.E GROUP was heavily involved in the energy modeling and schematic design phases of both MEP and Architectural
Elements. Providing proper building orientation and massing are critical to any energy efficient facility. Our energy model included several options
and optimization runs to fine tune building massing, envelope, shading, and fenestrations. In the end, we selected an R-30 precast wall assembly,
along with and R-40 roof insulation system. After maximizing the benefits of load reduction, the Trane Trace model was used to size and optimize
the HVAC system. In addition to energy modeling, the entire MEP, Architectural and Structural documentation package was created using BIM. A
carefully coordinated Revit model allowed the design build team to stay on budget and on schedule throughout the project.
Sustainable Features
• Energy Recovery Ventilator
• Ground Source Heat Pump System
• Carbon Dioxide Monitoring and Demand Control Ventilation
• Super Insulated Walls and Roof
• Low Flow and Waterless Fixtures
• Daylight Harvesting and Dimming
• Low Lighting Power Densities
• Acoustic Performance: STC Ratings Above 60 and NC levels Below 15.
Cost/Benefit Analysis
• The Band Training Facility included the first ground source heat pump system at Ft Carson. The additional cost of a 40 well ground source
heat pump system has estimated simple payback of less than 5 years.

• Computer based Trace700 version 6.2.5 software having required full year simulation capabilities is used for modeling design and base
building models. Design building performance rating is compared to the baseline building performance rating per ASHRAE/IESNA
Standard 90.1-2007.
Cost/benefit analysis used for systems and materials selections.
• Focus on total cost of ownership versus upfront costs
• Geo-exchange field more costly to install than traditional boiler/chiller system, but significant energy savings of geo-exchange system
greatly reduces.total cost of ownership
• Minimized number of lamp types used to reduce owner stock requirement
• Specification of products that provide the best value to the client
• Daylight dimming in some areas achieved with step -dimming systems rather than continuously dimming systems. Lower cost, comparable
energy savings.

Project Overview -
A new 220,000 square foot, 1,200 student high school which includes a large commons area, state-of-the-art
auditorium, library, two gymnasiums and a fine arts facilities. A 200-well geo-exchange field is beneath the
athletic fields. The project set aggressive energy goals from the start of design, and these were realized upon`d
completion. M.E. GROUP has been recording energy use since the opening of the school and the actual
energy use is even more impressive than originally anticipated.
• $62,212/yr in operational savings versus the code baseline building
• Largest building served entirely by geo-exchange in Colorado (Bore holes 400 ft deep and 20 ft apart feeds the school's heating and
cooling exchange system.)
• Utility providers(2) awarded the school over $190,000 in rebates
• "Green Building of America Award -winning project" (over 2,500 entries)
• Exceeded ASHRAE 90.1-2004 by 40%
Targets and Goals
Palmer Ridge was the first new high school that the district had built in decades. Going "green" was standard for the job, "It's a responsible
approach, using modern-day and current teaching philosophies," says Brian Cohen, senior project manager at Saunders Construction. The district
and design team worked together to establish life cycle costing methods and enhanced learning environment goals which would be the basis of
many MEP decisions.

The estimated annual energy use of Palmer Ridge HS is 33.2 kBTU/sf/yr. This is a 40% improvement above the baseline building. All components
of the building were modeled in Trane Trace to help size equipment and determine life cycle costs. The result of these energy savings is over
$23,000 in annual utility costs reduction. Now that the school has been operational for two years, the actual energy use has proven be to 28
kBTU/sf/yr, a 50% reduction from the baseline.

1. History & Experience
Pursuing LEED Silver
Certification
This library is designed for flexibility to meet future
needs with an access floor that houses all electrical and
mechanical distribution. Lighting provides general
illumination through out the main collection and
reading room so stacks can be moved in the future.
The main area of the library is a multi -purpose space
that houses the Adult collection, flexible lounge
seating that can be rearranged as needed, study
tables, and computing. Service points are small
and mobile so staff can rove and be more accessible
to customers. Highlights of this library include an
inspiring aspen forest for children to read in, a graffiti
wall and computer banquette in the Teen area, and
the "living room" of the community with comfortable
seating to enjoy the incredible views. Poetrynight or
other smaller community events can happen around .
the cozy fireplace. The circulation space that leads to
the large multi -purpose room is gracious in size so it
can function as a pre or post function space for larger
events. This library is truly the gathering place forthis
community.

design. This helps avoid any major design changes or value engineering late in the
process, when it is harder to realize value.
S. Proposed Services
DELIVERING A PUBLIC LIBRARY THAT SERVES AS
A MODEL FOR 21ST CENTURY
VISIONING
As we move from the programming to the conceptual design phase, we will de-
velop two or three different options that explore how to best fulfill the program.
Presentations to the public and Board of Trustees are critical, and our collaborative
approach helps make these meetings productive and positive. Feedback will be
incorporated and presented for approval to all necessary staff and agencies. At
the conclusion of this phase of the design process, we expect to have a specific
schematic design with lots of input and buy in from all the major stakeholders.
Excitement and enthusiasm for the project will concludes this effort.
PHASING STRATEGIES
Our experience with remodels helps us to develop occupancy strategy plans that
have the least negative impact on the staff and public. The Poudre River Public
Library District's relocation of staff offices and the open access for construction
workers at the infill areas below the existing structure are both factors that should
allow for minimal disruption to the library use. There is are many opportunity to
provide a significant increases in square footage prior to any user disruption or
remodel within the existing public areas. We are excited to pursue these opportuni-
ties with you.
INTERIORS INTEGRATION
At OZ we have a fully integrated team of Architects and Interior Designers that
give us an unparalleled ability to support our clients. We believe having our
interior designers fully integrated with the architects greatly enhances the design
quality of our projects, ensures they are well coordinated, and will meet the project
vision, budget and schedule.
The design development and construction document phases will then follow after
Board of Trustee approval and a successful repeal of the current site restrictions.
We will explore furniture, shelving and signage options that enhance wayfinding
and good circulation throughout. Our experienced interior designers can select,
specify and coordinate the FF&E package with the project team and the purchas-
ing agent, ensuring'the design is coordinated with all aspects of the project, includ-
ing the phased occupancy of the project.
IMPLEMENTAT 10N
Critical items that will occur during these two phases are closely tracking the bud-
get and schedule, and developing a set of "bullet proof" construction documents,
so that change orders are minimized. We are proud of ourtrack record in this area.
We have a strong quality control program at OZ and focus
on producing well coordinated documents. Our extensive li-
brary experience informs appropriate cost responsive design
solutions while bringing efficiencies to the process with our
insight.
THE RIGHT TEAM
The consultants we have suggested to be on our team for
the this project are companies that are local and understand
how to work in the City of Fort Collins, or have an expertise
that we feel is very beneficial to the project. Many we have
collaborated with numerous times in the past, and our team
will produce a beautiful design that will meet the highest
expectations of the citizens of Fort Collins, while meeting
both your budget and schedule.
During design development, we expect to have bi-weekly
meetings with you, and during the construction documents
phase, monthly meetings. We have conducted bid phase
services for our clients numerous times. This has included
coordinating bids, distribution of documents, leading the
walk-through, issuing addenda, attending the bid -opening,
etc., and we are prepared to do this as part of our services
for this project.
DELIVERING A PUBLIC LIBRARY THAT SERVES AS
A MODEL FOR 21ST CENTURY
With the project goal of achieving LEED Gold, we felt it was
important to select a Mechanical/Electrical and Pluming
engineering firm who are true leaders and advocates for sus-
tainable high performance buildings. Many firms make this
same claim, but are not able to implement or provide the
best sustainable solutions that balance the project budget.
We hare successfully collaborated with ME Group and feel
they will provide the best service to this project.
RIBBON CUTTING
Our final phase of the work is the contract administration
phase. This phase is very important as we ensure, work-
ing with the project team and the contractor, that the
project vision is successfully realized during construction.
While the public will experience the dynamic changes to
their building in incremental steps, the final grand open-
ing will bring a building that embodies their needs and
allows for future growth.

PUBLIC PROCESS
Our team has proven success in working with the public to gain their support for
our projects. This team has recently navigated the public process in two very active
communities. The Stapleton Community in Denver is known to be challenging and
difficult to appease. Our team developed a format that allowed them to voice their
opinions, concerns, and dreams for their new library in a productive and positive way.
We also put them to work by giving them design issues to solve and provide feed-
back. We were able to achieve design solutions that addressed their needs, which
in turn led to their buy in of the project. We facilitated a series of three community
meetings and worked closely with the local paper to effectively communicate our
process and design solutions. We were told by many participants, and the reporter
for the local paper, that they were the best community meetings they had ever at-
tended.
Similarly, although a smaller group than in Stapleton, we successfully facilitated the
Nederland Library Community meetings. The scope for the first phase of this project
was to develop a compelling design that would inspire the community to vote for a
bond to fund the new library.
We facilitated three community meetings, two priorto the vote and one follow-
ing approval. The main concern for Nederland was to ensure the project team had
designed the most sustainable library. However, the project budget would not allow
for all options to be implemented. Pete Jefferson with the ME Group was instrumen-
tal in educating and convincing this community the project team had been successful
in balancing all of the needs of the project, including the budget. We selected ME
Group to be our Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing consultants because of their exper-
tise in designing high-performance sustainable buildings. Their vast knowledge and
ability to present and educate the public on many of the sustainable concepts is the
best we have seen. They are able to take technical concepts and simplify them 'into
an understandable and engaging presentation.
PHASING STRATEGIES
Our experience with remodels helps us to develop occupancy strategy plans that
have the least negative impact on the staff and public. OZ Architecture is adept
at phased occupancy remodel addition project work. Our educational clients are
typically unable to shut down schools to accomplish the extent of renovation work
needed and work often spans two summers and a full academic year with emphasis
placed on minimal disruption to the staff and students and a firm commitment to
the occupancy deadlines as school calendars provide no flexibility. Our corporate
clients also require a high level of professional work space when we complete phased
interior office remodels.
BLAIR-CALDWELL AFRICAN AMERICAN
RESEARCH LIBRARY
Denver Public Library, Denver, Colorado
As Denver's largest branch library
this 40,000 sf three-story cultural
facility includes the branch library
and a community rooms on the main
level, an African -American research
library on the second floor, and a
museum that celebrates the history
of African Americans in the Moun-
tain West on the third and top level.
The building serves as a symbolic
gateway connecting downtown
Denver to the Welton Historic
District and the Five Points Neigh-
borhood beyond. This connection
is made visible by a dramatic three
story staircase on the south corner
of the building.
The design process had the special
challenge of meeting the needs of
three client groups: then Mayor and
Mrs. Wellington Webb; former City
Librarian Rick Ashton, whose agency,
runs the facility; and Denver Capital
Leasing, the actual owner of the
building. The building has become
an activity center and a source of
pride for the neighborhood and the
community.
The project won the Rocky Mountain
Masonry Institute, Masterworks in
Masonry Merit Award in 2004 and
AIA North Chapter Merit Award in
2005.
6. Unique Abilities of Proposed Staff
WHAT VALUE DOES OZ BRING TO POUDRE RIVER LIBRARY ?
The secret to the success of a phased approach is that OZ works with our clients to under-
stand the intricacies of their operations and any seasonal programs or special events that
need to be maintained to ensure that a thoughtful and realistic phased construction sched-
ule and an efficient owner occupancy plan is executed. The success of our complex remodel
projects are based on the collaboration of the owner, the design team and in particular the
Contractor. Often noisy or disruptive work can be scheduled before or after hours to ensure
the client can provide the appropriate level of service to their clients. The expense of off
hours work is considerably less than the relocation of facilities or the rental of temporary
mobile facilities, but these factors will be weighed into the upfront planning and will be con
sidered in conjunction with the development of the design and the schedule.
The Poudre River Public Library District's proposed relocation of staff offices and the open
access for construction workers at the infill areas below the existing structure are both fac-
tors that should allow for minimal disruption to the existing library use as there is a lot of
opportunity to provide a significant increase in square footage prior to any user disruption or
remodel within the existing public areas. We are excited to pursue these opportunities with
you.
L I B R A R Y EX P E R I E N C E
Our team has current library experience that encompasses small remodels to larger new
libraries. From Nederland to Basalt and many projects in Denver and the Front Range.
We also have extensive school remodel experience that are driven by tight budgets and
schedules. We encourage you to call our references to learn about the level of service and
expertise we bring to each project.
GRAPHIC/VISUALIZATION CAPABILITIES
As a critical component of phase I, we have incredible graphic capabilities to produce
renderings and virtual tours of the design to help voters understand what is being proposed,
and to excite them about the opportunities the renovation and expansion will bring. Please
see our samples of different rendering techniques that we can use to meet the needs of your
project.
