ADDENDUM No. 1
P1024 Parks and Recreation Policy Plan Update
SPECIFICATIONS AND CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
Description of RFP: P1024 Parks and Recreation Policy Plan Update
OPENING DATE: 3:00 P.M. (Our Clock) July 11, 2006
To all prospective bidders under the specifications and contract documents described above,
the following changes are hereby made.
INFORMATION FROM THE PRE-PROPOSAL MEETING JUNE 27, 2006
City staff presented information during the pre-proposal meeting as follows.
A. Evaluation of existing Policy Plan
The City is interested in the Consultant sharing with the City how they “rate” our
existing plan and how our plan can be improved to provide the appropriate direction
for the next ten years. Staff anticipates we do not need a complete re-do of the
existing plan for this update. The build-out of the City will be completed in about
fifteen years.
B. Evaluation of growth/reduction of various activities
This section will help the City understand how recreation is changing and how the
update should acknowledge these changes.
C. Evaluation of Fort Collin’s demographics
Staff realizes the City is changing as our demographics change. The aging of our
population along with the City being marketed as a choice retirement location is of
great interest. What other recreation changes will demographic changes bring to us
over the next ten years.
D. Public process
Staff explained the response to this section can have options. A base price could
include just a Consultant staff member attending the meetings with City staff
preparing and presenting the update. Beyond this base level the Consultant could
supply prices for help with graphics, etc. to the upper range of actually preparing for,
organizing and leading the presentation. This method will allow the City to efficiently
utilize the Consultant through the public process.
E. Evaluation of a large outdoor event facility
Staff explained that we presently have this demand and it is difficult to meet with our
existing parks. The City will grow to a final population of about 210,000. Does the
need for larger corporate picnics and other outdoor events continue to increase and
result in more demand and need for such a facility.
F. Evaluation of a ballfield and turf sports complex
Staff indicated that Fort Collins Baseball is presently starting to look at a ballfield
complex. We would expect to fold their effort and info into this update.
G. Evaluation of outdoor tennis courts
The City has done some work in this area and needs the Consultant to review our
ideas, compare our service level with other communities and help develop a plan
that can be included in this update.
H. Recreation and park facility fee policy
The Consultant will provide information about other community’s recreation fee
policies for staff review. The City needs to change our fee policy to match our
present budgeting objectives. The actual development of a new fee policy will not
occur with the update.
I. Overview of the present parks, trails, forestry and recreation facilities and programs
This section tags to A. with our need to know from the Consultant what they see as
important to include in this update.
J. Survey
The City would work with the Consultant to generate the questions for the survey.
Our particular interest is with questions that support the City’s Budgeting for
Outcomes budget process.
K. Consultant help with the writing of the report
This is another section where options appear appropriate for the City to review.
CLARIFICATION:
Project Cost:
The understanding is that the City’s $50,000 estimate will likely not fully cover all the
items in the Request for Proposal. The City would like to see the Consultants supply a
“base bid” as close to the estimate as possible. With the Consultant applying their
knowledge of these plans to indicate where they would spend the limited resources the
City has available. Beyond this base bid can be optional items with fees that the City
can select if additional funds are available.
Please direct any questions regarding this addendum to John D. Stephen, CPPO, CPPB,
Senior Buyer, (970) 221-6777

2/9/00
IV. SCOPE OF WORK
The consultant is being hired to provide input into certain areas of the plan and support for
staff during the public and City review process. The detailed description of the Scope of
Work for the Consultant is as follows:
A. The Consultant will evaluate the City’s current Parks and Recreation Policy Plan
to gain an impression of how the Plan is doing in providing guidance for the
City’s parks and recreation facilities and programs. We believe the current plan
has served us well, but would like the Consultant to provide an expert outside
perspective and advice on ways to improve the plan.
B. Provide an evaluation of growth and/or decline in youth and adult tennis, adult
soft ball, youth and adult soccer, skateboarding, youth in-line skating and in-line
hockey, and dog parks or any other activities not listed here that show a
significant growth or decline in our region. The past time frame would be ten
years and the projected time frame should be for ten years. The information may
include national trends but must also be tailored and relevant to Colorado and
Fort Collins. Provide an evaluation of anticipated popularity of these sports and
activities and other recreation trends, including an assessment of the recreation
facilities (e.g. number of tennis courts,) needed to meet the anticipated demand.
The information will be finalized by the Consultant into a format that can be
added as an appendix into the Plan.
C. Provide an evaluation of Fort Collins’ demographics and anticipated
demographic changes over the next ten years and its relevance to the
community’s recreational needs for the next ten years. Data from various
sources should provide information about such items as what retirees will be
doing for recreation, what young adults will be doing for recreation, etc. The
information will be finalized by the Consultant into a format that can be added as
an appendix into the Plan.
D. The Consultant will provide recommendations and advice about the process to
use for public input to improve the City’s current process. The Consultant will
provide the following support to the City during the Plan process.
Public meetings – The Plan outreach is anticipated to include four public
meetings with an open house format. The Consultant will assist staff with the
development of the format of the meetings, provide information on their Scope
of Work items for review by the public, and attend all meetings. The Consultant
will attend an additional eight meetings with City staff.

Senior Advisory Board – one meeting
Youth Advisory Board – one meeting
Natural Resource Advisory Board – two meetings
Transportation Board – one meeting
Stormwater Board – one meeting
Planning and Zoning Board – one meeting
Council Work Session – one meeting
2/9/00
E. The Consultant will provide an evaluation of the need for and location
specifications for an outdoor large event facility to host groups of 250 people to
1,000 people. The consultant will provide a recommendation on location, size,
types of facilities, typical capital and operation and maintenance costs, and
other items related to the group gathering site. The information will be finalized
by the Consultant into a format that can be added as an appendix into the Plan.
F. The Consultant will provide an evaluation of the need and location specifications
for a ballfield and turf sports complex (youth and adult), i.e.: baseball, softball,
soccer, rugby, etc. The evaluation should take into account the surrounding
area existing and planned sports complexes. If it is determined that a sports
complex is needed, the consultant will provide a recommendation on preferred
location, size, types and number of facilities, typical capital and operation and
maintenance costs and other items related to the complex. The information will
be finalized by the Consultant into a format that can be added as an appendix
into the Plan.
G. The Consultant will provide an evaluation of the City’s existing outdoor tennis
courts and how these courts meet the City’s present and future service needs,
factoring in Poudre School District and Colorado State University courts. The
Consultant will review current use and provide a recommendation as to which
courts should remain, and whether new neighborhood parks should contain
courts. Should these courts be reconstructed or constructed as post-tension?
Presently, the City is considering consolidating tennis courts into community
parks. The operation and maintenance cost of tennis courts is high. The City
has a number of tennis courts in neighborhood parks that will need expensive
major rehabilitation in the near future. The information will be finalized by the
Consultant into a format that can be added as an appendix into the Plan.
H. The Consultant will review the City’s current recreation and park facility fee
policy and provide examples from other agencies of a variety of recreation fee
and revenue generation policies or philosophies. The Consultant will organize
the collected policies, develop a comparison of key points, and recommend
considerations for improvements to the City’s policy. The Consultant will provide
the fee policy information in a format that will allow the City to analyze how fees
could be adjusted to better meet the future budget requirements of the Parks
and Recreation. The information will be finalized by the Consultant into a format
that can be added as an appendix into the Plan. (This is an optional item to the
City and needs to have a stand alone cost.)
I. The Consultant will provide an overview of the City’s present parks, trails,
forestry and recreation facilities and programs to answer the question “Are we
missing something now that would be important to the community in the future”.
The idea of this section is to do general comparisons with other similar
communities to see if we should be considering items that are not currently in
our system or in our plans. The information will be finalized by the Consultant
into a format that can be added as an appendix into the Plan
J. The Consultant will provide a statistically valid city wide survey along the
following major points:
2/9/00
1) What percentage of the citizens use parks, trails, recreation facilities, and
programs?
2) What do citizens do in our parks, trails and recreation facilities?
3) Frequency of visits to the parks, trails, recreation facilities and programs.
4) Value or importance of parks, trails, recreation facilities and programs.
5) What do citizens want that that is not currently provided by our parks,
trails, recreation facilities and programs?
6) Open comments section.
7) Demographics.
The Consultant will be expected to fully develop the survey with detailed
discussions with City staff. The survey will need to support the Parks and
Recreation “Budgeting for Outcomes” budget process that includes capital and
operation and maintenance items.
K. The Consultant will provide a cost estimate to write the plan or to assist the City
in writing the Plan. The work could range from assisting staff in writing particular
section(s); entirely writing particular section(s); or may include the responsibility
for writing the entire Plan.
V. FEES
The consultant services will be awarded based on a Not-to-Exceed Time and Reimbursable
Direct Cost Basis Agreement. The consultant will provide as part of their proposal an
appropriate order-of magnitude estimate of the fees based upon the services described in
this proposal. Upon the selection of the Consultant, the final fee will be negotiated with
input from the Consultant based upon how they view the overall project.
