RE: p. 4: Product/ Deliverables- Design Guidelines Document:. "In their proposals, the consultant shall provide ...as much detail as possible." Do you mean that in our bid submittal/proposal, you want outline of the proposed design guidelines document? 1.A. Yes. We expect to see a breakdown of chapters the document will likely contain – outline form is acceptable. By providing this information, the vendor gives the City a good idea of the approach to be taken with the document through a general idea of its proposed contents. 2.Q. Will there be residential design standards in the document? 2.A. The Old Town Historic District and surrounding area are commercial in nature, with the only residential being part of current and future mixed-use development. This project is not expected to include residential design standards. 3.Q. How many printed copies of the final document are required? Are printed copies of draft documents required? 3.A. For survey reports, the State requires 2 copies of the draft document and 5 bound copies of the final report. We request 5 printed copies of the draft report, and 8 bound copies of the Final. 4.Q. How many pages are we anticipating that the document will be? How detailed do we want the document to be? Should the document contain background information, i.e., the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards? 4.A. There is no set expectation for the length of the document. We do expect sufficient detail to clearly convey the design principles and concepts necessary to make the document relevant and useful. While a limit amount of background information may be useful, the expectation is that the document will provide design standards and guidelines, not background. The amount and character of background information should be included in the consultant’s discussion of their general approach of the proposed contents. 5.Q. Is there a preference for photos vs. illustrations? 5.A. The choice is up to the consultant. Illustrations are preferable only because they often can pinpoint the design issue without extraneous information that can confuse the user. Photographs are fine if they clearly convey the information sought. If photographs are used, they will need to be of buildings, streetscapes, etc. in other similar communities, rather than portraying Fort Collins buildings.
