Home My WebLink AboutRESPONSE - RFP - 7369 EDORA ICE & POOL CENTER EFFICIENCY STUDYI I May 23, 2012 Mr. John Stephen, LEED AP, CPPO Senior Buyer City of Fort Collins 215 North Mason Street, 2nd Floor Fort Collins, CO 80524 Mr. Steve Strickland Project Manager City of Fort Collins 215 North Mason Street, 2nd Floor Fort Collins, CO 80524 O H L S O N L A V O I E RE: Proposal No. 7369 — Edora Ice & Pool Center Efficiency Study COLLABORATIVE Dear John, Steve and Members of the Selection Committee: 616 E SPEER BLVD Ohlson Lavoie Collaborative (OLC) has been asked to report, and make remedial DENVER, COLORADO recommendations for repair of plagued pools and natatoriums all over the United States. Pools are the most expensive component of a facility to build, staff, operate, and maintain. Technology aozo3-az, 3 and programming has changed vastly over the past sixteen years, and construction and energy costs have skyrocketed. When looking at whether or not to build new, remodel what currently T: 303.294,9244 exists, or repairing and updating to new standards, a delicate and shifting balance of the initial F: 303.294.9440 cost, ongoing expenses, and the potential for increased revenue must be considered for a custom tailored solution to be reached. www.olcdesigns.com OLC has worked with the City of Fort Collins on its City Park Pool remodel and renovation with great success in striking a balance between costs and need. We understand that EPIC is a landmark facility for the community whose desires and expectations are being served by a potentially outdated, troublesome, and inefficient facility which is a drain on resources, and limits service, and revenue alike. On the surface, it may seem like many of the firms responding to this RFP are equally capable of fulfilling its requirements, but the subtle differences will have a tremendous effect on the final outcome and report content. As a Front Range -based Architect and Aquatic Designer, your project will receive the immediate and undivided attention it deserves from the most highly capable and experienced members of our team. We choose The Ballard Group as our imechanical engineers, with whom we have completed more than 100 aquatic projects.

The study and reports will contain information on bringing the pool systems and HVAC systems to current standards and also updating the pool components to higher energy efficient systems. OLC will provide associated cost estimates for recommended improvements and alternatives as part of the report. Our understanding is that Fort Collins will utilize the information from these reports to determine what to improve or replace within the natatorium and to what extent the new energy model should be taken. The pool area will be analyzed to assess capital improvement needs and provide cost estimates for each component of work. OVERALL PROJECT MANAGEMENT Managing Projects - Planning, Schedule and Quality Control - Projects of every size, scope and magnitude require a diligent planning process and experienced personnel who have the appropriate stamina and focus. To support this, OLC will commit our resources to ensuring a successful outcome for this efficiency study. Schedule Control — We maintain an awareness of the parameters that affect both the project schedules, being flexible and adaptable to the unavoidable changes, and an alertness to scope creep that can misalign project goals. This effort ensures that the project will be completed as promised. Managing Information — For a study such as this, one key to success is effectively managing the flow of information. As data is collected about the existing building and meetings are held with the various stakeholders, the information quickly becomes voluminous and unmanageable if not diligently documented and communicated in a user-friendly manner. OLC will continually update the team as the project progresses to ensure the data transfer process is constant, seamless, complete, holistic, and meaningfully manifested into the final study outcome. Managing Cost — We will perform a thorough assessment and analysis in order to create a precise and usable report for the City. OLC will maintain a constant awareness of the cost impact of every line item in the final reports.

At the kickoff meeting, OLC will provide a detailed timeline of interim tasks and completion dates for the City's review and approval. DESIGN STANDARDS OLC will use the Health Aquatic code (not yet released) for ventilation requirements along with our collective design experience on over 400 recreation/natatorium project. We choose to use the above code, due in part to the ASHRAE ventilation requirements not meeting the design standards of our mechanical engineer for a healthy and comfortable natatorium environment. As for as pressure relationships, we would use our mechanical engineer's standards for this evaluation. CONFIRMATION OF AUDIT CONTENT AND DELIVERABLES Per the RFP, OLC and its team members will conduct a site audit that will review: • Facility structure and equipment assessment — pool water side and HVAC • Pool structure and design — settling, use of movable bulkhead, swim meet setup process, traffic patterns, and pool as it relates to balance of the building. • Pool code compliance. Insure standards are clearly defined. • Operational/maintenance staffing Efficiencies and Plan RFP 7369 Edora Ice & Pool Center Efficiency Study Page 4 of 14 • Current maintenance needs/future maintenance needs • Analysis of bather loads, swim meet needs (bleacher loads), with emphasis on how best to meet the needs of various swim groups and cliental. • Video taped smoke and dye test of air flow patterns (natatorium) and water circulation patterns (main pool only) using current operational parameters. • Air flow issues, design deficiencies, HVAC analysis, values at approximately 20" off the main pool water surface (chloramine removal potential). • Water flow/turnover issues, design deficiencies, chemical delivery system, filtration, and pool equipment analysis (pumps, filters, heat exchangers, manifolds, etc.). At the conclusion of the study, OLC will deliver the following to Fort Collins: • A written narrative of current conditions • Two reports with preliminary budget and breakout of costs for each system (HVAC, Pool structure, and water quality). • Prioritization of each repair activity as it pertains to cost-effectiveness in solving existing issues and energy saving potential. • Clearly define "design standards used" and how they address resolving of issues reported on. l OLC !PROJECT APPROACH a OLC TASK BREAKDOWN Report # 1 Tasks include (but are not limited to): Project management Engineering coordination Site visit Meeting with client Review of all existing information Inspection of natatorium Inspection of HVAC/plumbing systems Inspection of pool circulation system Evaluation of all systems regarding new energy model - Define new energy model to be used Cost estimates for current operational stds Preparation of report - Presentation of report findings to City Report #2 Tasks include (but are not limited to): Project management Engineering coordination Meeting with client (if needed) Market analysis review Stakeholder meetings Bather load and swim team needs Competitive market analysis Programming review Size/space allocation Programming recommendations Identify upgrades to meet newer standards - Provide possible traffic flow improvements - New area layouts Detailed information on new pool systems to meet upgraded standards Evaluation of structure for potential new equipment Preliminary structural calculations - Provide HVAC/plumbing assessments to include air flow rates, diffuser locations, chloramines removal and code deficiencies Recommendations for adjustments to system to increase energy efficiency (if adequate) Preparation of report - Presentation of report findings to City FIRM INFORMATION BUSINESS ADDRESS 616 East Speer Boulevard Denver, Colorado 80203 P: (303) 294-9244 Doni Visani, Project Manager dvisani@olcdesigns.com Aldo Coronado, Aquatic Design acoronado@olcdesigns.com L 01 140 oma A C M I T E G T V R I rN.- OLC Ohlson Lavoie Collaborative (OLC) is a highly accomplished international architectural firm headquartered in Denver, Colorado with offices in Orlando, Tokyo and Cairo.
