RE: Request for Proposal RFP #7548
Midtown College Avenue Corridor Plan
Dear Aaron and Members of the Selection Committee:
Streetscapes, corridors and roadways not only provide places to move, they uniquely represent a rich op-
portunity for people to connect to their community, take advantage of multiple modes of travel, and feel a
sense of common good in their public spaces. Today, with the state of the economy and our busy social lives,
the value of a walkable, interconnected and beautiful public space experience has never been more impor-
tant. Particularly in downtown districts, corridors serve an important ‘central gathering’ function – they are
an important place where community members can meet, move, access resources and build community.
As one of Fort Collins Enhanced Travel Corridors (ETC’s), the Mason Corridor is already seeing the effects
of positive planning and redevelopment. With the new Bus Rapid Transit System underway, the Midtown
Urban Design Plan finalized, and the trail improvements completed, the Midtown district has already begun
to take critical steps toward creating a more sustainable and enjoyable travel system.
For the Midtown College Avenue Corridor Plan, our team will continue to support the tenants of the growing
sustainable vision for the Midtown district. By taking the next step toward envisioning the corridor redevel-
opment, our team will create a plan that is both visionary and realistic - grounded in the work done to date,
but bringing the overall vision into sharper and more defined focus. Drawing from our experience in public
involvement, streetscape design, urban planning, land use and transportation planning, we will create both
a process and final products grounded in vision, experience, expertise and commitment to what makes a
great community corridor.
In order to understand the implications of big-picture choices, our team will begin the project by looking
carefully at both the existing conditions of the area, as well as the planning and design work completed to
date. As individual team members (many of whom were part of the Midtown Urban Design Plan team) focus
RFP - MIDTOWN COLLEGE AVENUE CORRIDOR PLAN
on their discipline-specific strengths in transportation, land use, economics, design and sustainable plan-
ning, we will meet to weave the systems of information together into a realistic and achievable plan. Work-
ing with our proven and award-winning team of professionals, we will apply our ‘best practice’ knowledge
of corridor planning and design, refined through years of working with communities to create memorable
and grounded public space plans.
We look forward to the Midtown College Avenue Corridor Plan, knowing that a successful process will in-
volve both an awareness and deep exploration into the existing conditions of the area, an extended hand
to the neighboring communities and stakeholder groups, and finally, the experience to expertly guide the
evolution, design and implementation of the final plan and action items.
In our work planning and designing public corridors, we are reminded again and again of the cultural, civic,
environmental and social importance of these places. As one of the most important ETC’s in Fort Collins, we
understand the magnitude of the Midtown College Avenue Corridor Plan, and look forward with enthusi-
asm, energy and optimism to the process of taking this important step in continuing the vision of redevelop-
ment and enhancement of this important public space.
Thank you very much for considering our proposal and qualifications package.
Sincerely,
Carlos Hernandez, AICP

Approach & Deliverables
Our Plan for Success
Carlos Hernandez (Fox Tuttle Transportation Group) and Kristin Cypher (Britina) will work closely with city staff
to ensure this project unfolds in a timely manner and adheres to the schedule and budget. The consulting
team (Team) will provide deliverables (presentations, handouts, agendas, or other materials) for meetings at
least one week in advance of scheduled events. Summaries from meetings and major public events will be
published within 2 days of the events.
Carlos Hernandez, AICP will be present in Ft. Collins every two weeks during the duration of the project for a
regularly scheduled 3-hour meeting with city staff. This will allow “face to face” time during the project to review
deliverables, track progress, understand local interest, coordinate public events, and ensure the expectations of
this project are achieved.
Our combined efforts will ensure new multimodal infrastructure on College Avenue can be implemented in the
next 2 years and beyond. We understand triple bottom line measures and the community’s interest in a more
livable College Avenue. We are ready to build consensus with the stakeholders on complete street designs that
serve a diverse range of travelers.
Phase I - Engage the Community and Establish the
Vision
Task 1: Work Plan
Meeting #1: Kick-off meeting and tour with SDT
A kick-off meeting and corridor tour will occur within two weeks of notice to proceed. This meeting will include
the Staff Decision Team (SDT) and the Team. The SDT will be comprised of city staff that the city council relies
on to make informed decisions about future infrastructure investments. This meeting will confirm the work
tasks, city staffing roles, integration with other projects, prepare a purpose statement, confirm lines of commu-
nication, and identify Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) members. This would be achieved during a three-
hour morning work session.
RFP - MIDTOWN COLLEGE AVENUE CORRIDOR PLAN
A field tour by bicycle with the SDT and Team would occur after a “brown bag” lunch break. The field tour
would include photo documentation, measurements, and informal conversations with the community regarding
existing conditions. The field tour would include observations during the PM peak travel hour.
Meeting #2: Public Involvement Planning with SDT
Our Team is committed and excited to bring our proven public engagement tools to this project. Members
of our Team have worked together on award winning and highly informative public involvement efforts across
Colorado. We are committed to engaging 100 new people who have never been to a public meeting for a
planning project, and generating over 500 impressions for this project on social media. Carlos Hernandez,
Kristin Cypher Chris Haller and Nanci Kerr (Sky to Ground) will co-facilitate a meeting with the SDT to select
events and activities that maximize the potential for community input during this project. This could include
the following types of events:
• “COLLEGE AVENUE TOMORROW BLOCK PARTY”
A block party with entertainment, complete street demonstrations of future improvements, “I want this
to be” interactive exhibits, and family friendly events
• “OCCUPY COLLEGE AVENUE”
The alternatives will be printed on weatherproof material the size of two parking spaces. They will
them be displayed under a pop-up structure for two hours at a time at various locations in the study
area
• “COLLEGE AVENUE PLAN VAN”
A mobile van that is deployed in front of local destinations to gather input about the alternatives
• “COLLEGE AVENUE BACK TO THE FUTURE”
Deploy striping and equipment to demonstrate future alternatives to obtain user interest and input on
potential alternatives
Task 1 Deliverable: Final public engagement plan, retainer budget, event dates, sched-
ule, and final document template.
Task 2: Existing and Future Conditions
The Team will review existing and future plans that apply to the corridor. They will prepare a summary of the
existing issues and needs as a Team effort. A draft summary will be shared with the Technical Advisory Com-
mittee (TAC) prior to the kick-off meeting. The summary will include the following:
RFP - MIDTOWN COLLEGE AVENUE CORRIDOR PLAN
• Josh Mehlem (Alta Planning + Design) will lead the preparation of an existing conditions overview
of the bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure conditions that would include overall cross section, multimodal
safety, bike facility presence, pedestrian facilities, and condition assessment based on leading-edge research
about ‘interested but concerned” multimodal travelers.
• Bill Fox (Fox Tuttle Transportation Group) will lead the preparation of an existing operations overview
that includes traffic volumes, pavement conditions, safety, planned transit services, intersection geometry, bike
and pedestrian Levels-of-Service, accident history, transit service, and locations where modes interconnect.
This will be based on the city’s MMLOS methodology.
• Kristin Cypher and Jamie Licko (Centro) will lead the preparation of an existing conditions land
use, development, signage and cultural conditions
• Mike Oberlander (Interwest) will provide a high level summary of the drainage, environmental, and
utility conditions in the corridor.
Meeting #3: TAC Review of Existing Conditions
An organization meeting with the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) members will be conducted to introduce
the project and discuss the existing and future conditions document. This would be achieved during a two-
hour morning work session with the TAC.
Task 2 Deliverable: All existing conditions information will be delivered as a draft in the
final document template.
Task 3: Corridor Vision
Meeting #4: Corridor Vision “drop in” Workshop with SDT
This task will further define the vision identified in the Midtown Plan within the Triple Bottom Line framework.
The Team will conduct an “8 hour drop in” workshop to identify challenges, opportunities, and actions associ-
ated with the concepts that have been identified for this corridor. The workshop is envisioned as a full day ses-
sion that includes keypad polling, group exercises, and facilitated conversations. Participants can “drop in” (as
their schedule allows) to provide comments as the Team further identifies the corridor vision. An on-line survey
will be sent to the SDT and TAC before the workshop to gauge general challenges, opportunities, and actions.
The survey responses will be summarized and used to facilitate conversation during the workshop.
The workshop will also audit the proposed vision based on the Triple Bottom Line framework that was com-
pleted in pervious tasks. Staff will provide overview on how the current Midtown Plan achieves the Triple
Bottom Line framework. The Team will provide ideas on how modifications to the visions could improve the
adherence to the Triple Bottom Line measures.
RFP - MIDTOWN COLLEGE AVENUE CORRIDOR PLAN
Products generated from this workshop will include:
• Challenges the alternatives will need to overcome
• Opportunities to implement the alternatives
• Actions that need to be taken to achieve the vision
• A concise vision that can be used to prepare the alternatives
• Summary of the Triple Bottom Line audit
Task 3 Deliverable: All vision information will be delivered as a draft in the final docu-
ment template.
Phase II - Alternative Design Concepts & Design Sche-
matics
Task 4: Alternatives Development
The Team has worked with stakeholders on transportation projects in the study area. Through these projects
and relationships, our Team has gained experience and knowledge of the existing and future multimodal invest-
ments in the College Avenue corridor. Using this as a basis, our Team will collaborate with stakeholders to
determine the optimal integration of pedestrians, bicycles, and transit while also exploring “first and final mile”
solutions to the Mason BRT. This will include currently programmed or funded improvements that may pres-
ent issues or opportunities to implement complete street features. The alternatives will be prepared with the
following details:
• Right-of-way widths and future conditions to determine opportunities and challenges associated with
complete street designs.
• “First and final mile” access to the Mason BRT.
• Pedestrian safety and visibility improvements that serve a diverse walking demographic. Elements to
be evaluated for improvement could include features such as HAWK beacons, full pedestrian signals, pedes-
trian signal timing adjustments, high visibility striping, lane diets, access management, audible warnings and
sidewalk buffers.
• Bicycle facilities focusing on the “interested but concerned” riders.
• Motor vehicle traffic safety – Although pedestrians, bicycles and “first and final mile” access will be the
primary focus of analysis, the Team also realizes that safer travel for personal automobiles is a critical compo-
nent to analyze. We will evaluate traffic safety features to determine the most beneficial measures to include in
the alternatives.
• Organize complete street design features to meet existing, interim and planned timelines.
RFP - MIDTOWN COLLEGE AVENUE CORRIDOR PLAN
Meeting #4: Alternatives “drop in” Workshop with SDT and TAC
The Team will facilitate a workshop with the stakeholders to generate potential alternatives early in task 4. An
on-line survey will be sent to the stakeholders before the workshop to identify potential alternatives. The survey
responses will be reviewed and used to facilitate conversation during the workshop to generate alternatives.
Task 4 Deliverable: The Team will develop up to three alternatives that are consistent
with the corridor vision. Each will include a “branded” vision that reflects its unique ben-
efit. The Team will prepare alternatives based on 10% level of engineering detail. Each
of the alternatives will also include a preliminary evaluation of the phasing, funding, and
performance. This will be delivered as a draft in the final document template.
Task 5: Alternatives Evaluation
The Team will utilize the triple bottom line sustainability principles within the environmental, social, and econom-
ic categories to evaluate the alternatives. This will be combined with project specific evaluation criteria that are
determined in a staff working group meeting.
Meeting #5: Determine Evaluation Criteria SDT
The Team will facilitate a workshop with the SDT to generate potential evaluation measures early in task 5. An
on-line survey will be sent to the SDT before the workshop to identify potential evaluation measures for the
alternatives. The survey responses will be reviewed and used to facilitate conversation during the workshop. A
brief presentation on performance measures used in other projects and program will be given during this meet-
ing. This could include:
• FTA/HUD/DOT/EPA Livability Measures,
• CalTrans Smart Mobility Performance Measures,
• RTD Denver Quality of Life program measures, and
• others as contributed by staff prior to the meeting.
Meeting #6: Evaluate the Alternatives SDT and TAC
The Team will facilitate a workshop with the stakeholders to score each of the alternatives using the evaluation
criteria and the triple bottom line sustainability principles. Keypad polling will be used during this session to en-
sure objective-data driven results. The keypads also ensure that all stakeholders have a chance to contribute.
An on-line survey will be sent to the stakeholders before the workshop to preliminary evaluate the alternatives.
The survey responses will be reviewed and used to facilitate conversation during the workshop and aid in the
keypad polling.
Task 5 Deliverable: The Team will provide a summary of the polling results and rank-
ing of the alternatives prior to starting Task 6. This will be delivered as a draft in the final
document template.
RFP - MIDTOWN COLLEGE AVENUE CORRIDOR PLAN
Phase III – Recommendations
Task 6: Preferred Alternative
The preferred alternative will be based on the findings in Task 5. Using this information, the Team will host a
“living lab” to introduce the features of the preferred alternative. The “living lab” will be an opportunity for the
community, elected officials, and stakeholders to experience the changes where they may occur over multiple
days. The input received during the “living labs” project will be used to make final design additions to the pre-
ferred alternatives.
Task 6 Deliverable: The Team will provide a summary of the input from the “living lab”
and amend the preferred alternative. This will be delivered as a draft in the final docu-
ment template.
Task 7: Implementation, Funding, and Phasing
Bill Fox (Fox Tuttle Transportation Group), Mike Oberlander (Interwest), and Jamie Licko (Centro) will identify
immediate and annual actions to implement the preferred alternative. Jamie Licko (Centro) will prepare a short
business plan for moving the preferred alternative toward final design and ultimately construction. The Team
will also support the stakeholders in filing a grant application for a state or federal funding source.
Meeting #7: Preferred Alternative Action with SDT
The Team will facilitate a workshop with the SDT that presents the business plan and opportunities for grants.
Stakeholders will receive the presentation a week prior to the meeting.
Task 7 Deliverable: The Team will provide a short business plan and support the stake-
holders in a grant application. The business plan will be delivered as a draft in the final
document template.
Task 8: College Avenue Corridor Master Plan Adoption
Kristin Cypher and Carlos Hernandez will lead the Team during the adoption of the Plan. Each of the prior
tasks will provide draft deliverables in the final document format. This will maximize the time the Team has
in Task 8 to revise the Plan and ensure it is adopted. Members of the Team will be available to support pub-
lic, council, and planning commission meetings as required. The budget shown will provide support for two
rounds of document revisions over a five-week timeline. It also provides support for one approval meeting with
city council.

A New Approach to Supporting Denver’s Arts Districts (2011/2012)
Arts + Venues Denver, City of Denver
Seeking opportunities to strengthen the eight arts districts throughout the city, while also exploring how
to catalyze the growth and capacity of these districts to encourage cultural-based neighborhood economic
development, Arts + Avenues Denver – the cultural agency of the City of Denver – contracted with Centro
Inc. to engage and facilitate conversation with private sector stakeholders in the districts as well as key city
agencies and staff. The Centro team consulted with more than a hundred stakeholders throughout both
emerging and established arts districts to understand their needs and challenges in relation to building
capacity, improving the public realm, generating foot traffic, and facilitating economic growth. City staff in
relevant agencies such as planning, economic development, district development and cultural arts also par-
ticipated in the process, discussing how city tools and policies might be utilized and/or strengthened to assist
in arts district growth. The work culminated in the City of Denver’s first Arts District Summit which welcomed
more than 100 private and public sector stakeholders for a day-long forum, workshop and discussion about
advancing and supporting arts district development in Denver. The outcomes of the workshop were a next-
steps document that provided recommendations and process to continue the conversation and implement
tactical approaches to encourage arts district development.
A National Framework for Place Management and BIDs in Singapore (2011/Present)
Urban Redevelopment Authority, Singapore
Having seen the exponential growth of Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) and other public/private mod-
els of place management for urban areas that has occurred in North America and Europe over the past
10-20 years, the Singaporean government began exploring with interest how they could bring these models
to Asia. In 2010, the national government released a call for proposals to work with them for 18-¬months
to establish the first downtown place management initiative in Singapore and to write national legislation
to allow for the creation of BIDs. Centro Inc. partnered with a UK-¬based place management firm, and was
awarded the contract in November 2010. We are presently nearing the end of the consultancy, and have
formed the first public/private sector working group to function in Singapore. Together, we are working to
develop a strategic plan for the Singapore River area of the city, and to create new service-¬delivery struc-
tures that leverage public and private sector resources. We are also currently forming the structure for the
BID legislation, which will go into formal legislative review and establishment later this year. Working in
Singapore has required extensive research on the Singapore and Asian economic and trade markets, taxing
structures and schemes, and investment strategies by stakeholders in the study areas. We have undertaken
significant international research to explore a variety of different special district taxation and place manage-
ment models to ensure a well--thought-out approach for Singapore that fits uniquely into their national
context.

South Thornton Revitalization Strategy (2010/2011)
City of Thornton
Seeking strategic approaches to address a declining physical and economic environment in the oldest part of
Thornton, the City worked with Centro Inc. and partners to advance a South Thornton Revitalization Strat-
egy. The comprehensive study looking at existing conditions in the study area in terms of land use, transpor-
tation, and economic and social environments, identifying barriers to growth and opportunities to leverage.
Centro took the lead role in stakeholder engagement with both the public and private sectors, while also
undertaking significant market research that explored past trends that had led to South Thornton’s decay,
existing conditions that resulted, and future opportunities and considerations to ensure more sustainable
development and growth patterns. Centro also took a critical role in the implementation strategy set forth
as part of the plan, identifying organizational and financing structures to guide strategic and incremental in-
vestment and improvement opportunities. The City of Thornton and the community supported the Strategy,
and implementation is underway.
Gateway to LA Airport Business District: Entertainment/Retail Research Study (2009)
Gateway to LA Airport Business District
Centro Inc. was engaged by the Gateway to LA Airport Business District to conduct an analysis of the poten-
tial for locating a new retail entertainment venue in the Gateway to LA Airport Business District. This district
– a Business Improvement District (BID) that encompasses LAX Airport and the surrounding commercial area
– has grown as a competitive destination for surrounding communities and Los Angeles visitors. The district’s
leadership and staff sought assistance from Centro in creating a competitive case for recruiting and generat-
ing new entertainment and retail uses in the district. The report looked at other major ‘airport districts’ as
well as competitive districts in the adjacent Los Angeles market to determine the competitive potential for
locating the desired venue in the airport district. The report provided policymakers, lenders, and developers
with the necessary information for making decisions on the viability of this potential investment and illumi-
nated the advantages of leveraging the district as an economic engine for the region.
Midtown Urban Design Plan (2012/2013)
City of Fort Collins, Colorado

tablished a framework for economic redevelopment within the project area, including economic and plan-
ning tools for funding proposed improvements, and creating incentives for private-public partnerships and

Lincoln Avenue Corridor Strategic Plan
Fort Collins, Colorado
Alta is teamed with Logan Simpson Design to create a strategic
plan that creates a Great Street along Lincoln Avenue for the City
of Fort Collins. The design team and the City are exploring alterna-
tives that include innovative bicycle and pedestrian facilities, pub-
lic transportation access and circulation, bioswales, and overall
streetscape character enhancements. Alta’s role is to assist with
public workshops, and provide innovative bicycle and pedestrian
recommendations for each alternative. Potential options include
a proposed off-street cycle track, two-way shared use path and
bioswales.
NACTO “Cities for Cycling” Urban Bikeway Design Guide
National Association of City Transportation Officials
Alta worked with a team of officials from National Association of
City Transportation Officials (NACTO) member cities and a team
of national and international bikeway design experts to develop
the country’s first Urban Bikeway Design Guide. This interactive
document provides state-of-the-practice solutions for 21 on-street
bikeway treatments based on national and international practices,
policies, and programs. It offers solutions developed by cities, for
cities, filling a much needed niche: a dynamic web-based plat-
form for information sharing and guidance. The website, found at
http://nacto.org/cities-for-cycling/design-guide/, allows a close
look at experience gained to date, and will be regularly updated as
new information and experience informs practice.
A printed version, released in 2012, was endorsed by US Transpor-
tation Secretary Ray LaHood, who stated that the NACTO guide is
“an extraordinary piece of work that is long overdue.” Hundreds of
communities are using it already. Alta has helped lead workshops
for APBP and ITE, and is involved in training professionals through-
out the country.
Alta also led content creation for the 2012 edition of the Urban
Bikeway Design Guide, with new sections on bicycle boulevard de-
sign, colored pavement material guidance, updates and revisions
to the existing content, and contextual guidance.

Golden Triangle Neighborhood Plan
Denver, Colorado
SKG currently provides the public outreach services for the Golden Triangle Neighborhood Plan that is de-
signed to seek out innovative ideas to enhance the mobility and livability in the neighborhood. Our efforts
were focused on a community outreach invention of ours called the Street Show. SKG worked closely with
the City of Denver planning and public works department, elected officials, media, businesses, and other
stakeholders. The Street Show, Triangle Transformations, will collect feedback from the public and inform
them on the plan through hands-on, interactive demonstrations of the possible future enhancements for
the neighborhood. Booking over 13 sponsors and expecting 200+ attendees, the Street Show for this plan
has allowed us to become one with the community while steering away from lectured meetings.
RTD Lakewood • Wadsworth and Sheridan Parking
Structures
Lakewood/Denver, Colorado
SKG provided public information services for two multi-million
dollar parking structures totaling nearly 2,000 parking spaces lo-
cated at the Sheridan and Lakewood • Wadsworth Stations along
the West Rail Line. Throughout the course of this project SKG
actively led the resolution of all design and construction-related
issues and worked collaboratively with West Rail Line Public In-
formation staff in that pursuit. SKG handled the tracking of public
contact and issues resolutions via an internet-based application.
In addition to developing key design and construction related
messages for RTD and the contractor, we served to generate con-
struction informational materials, as well as provide weekly and
monthly updates for both public and administrative audiences.
SKG managed relationships with highly engaged property owners
with significant one-on-one communication, as well as provided
liaison services to build relationships with RTD and municipal
staff on behalf of the contractor. Additionally, SKG coordinated all
media interest and inquiries and orchestrated multiple ground-
breaking events with over 400 attendees and coverage by various
media outlets.

Decatur • Federal Station Area Plan
Denver, Colorado
SKG led the community outreach effort for the award winning De-
catur • Federal Station Area Plan with the City of Denver and Den-
ver Housing Authority. This nationally recognized effort aimed
to generate a framework of development for a study area that
includes DHA low-income housing, a large commercial corridor,
light industrial usage, and an adjacent stadium district. In this ef-
fort, SKG is worked diligently to align widely divergent groups and
receive input in a multi-pronged outreach effort that spans four
languages, multiple generations and a broad range of stakeholder
interests.
National Western Stock Show Station Area Plan
Denver, Colorado
SKG applied our “boots on the ground” approach in the prepara-
tion of a Station Area Plan at the National Western Stock Show on
RTD’s North Corridor. The plan necessitated the participation of
some of Denver’s poorest and most environmentally challenged
neighborhoods including Elyria, Swansea and Globeville. The out-
reach was deemed an uncommon success by the City due to the
consistent levels of participation by a geographically small and
chronically under-represented community.
Northeast Downtown Master Plan
Denver, Colorado
SKG completed community outreach services for the Northeast
Downtown Master Plan in 2011. This area is comprised of the
diverse neighborhoods of Five Points, Arapahoe Square, Ballpark,
Curtis Park, and San Rafael, as well as the Upper Larimer portion
of the River North neighborhood, the Enterprise Hill area near
Benedict Fountain Park, and the westernmost blocks of Cole
and Whittier. Working with key stakeholders, SKG experienced
a complex variety of entities ranging from the central business
district, to underutilized parking and the historic business district
on Welton. There were exceptional levels of participation in this
planning effort due to the additional charrettes sponsored by
the Downtown Denver Partnership that featured the Arapahoe
Square area.
