I. GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Introduction
The City of Fort Collins is intending to add a new parking garage at 245 N. Mason St. Fort
Collins, CO 80522. The structure will be four levels with one below ground level. The lower
level will contain mechanical equipment and parking stalls for City vehicles used by staff in
the downtown area. The other three levels will be for public parking and used by the public
and staff working downtown. We are looking at approximately 400 parking stalls provided
with this new facility. We are also looking to incorporate retail space on the exterior of the
building. This retail space could be leased out to private businesses. We plan to include
solar PV as a shade structure on the upper level in order to offset the building’s energy use.
The existing space is currently a surface parking lot with a detention pond. The adjacent
building to the northwest (FoCo Cafe) is on the City of Fort Collins’ historic registry.
The parking spaces shall include parking technology that identifies spaces available for
public, handicap, retail tenants and City staff along with exterior signage to communicate
this to users.
The City of Fort Collins is wanting this new parking garage to help meet our Climate Action
goals which will require several Electric Vehicle parking spaces for City staff and public.
B. General
The City of Fort Collins is seeking qualifications and the best possible combination of site
planning, architectural design and engineering services for the 245 N. Mason St. – New
Parking Garage. The new parking garage is to be designed to use a photovoltaic (PV) system
and Net Zero energy.
Retail space is intended to be core and shell only. No mechanical, however, design will need
to accommodate HVAC, ventilation and hood needs to accommodate a wide variety of
businesses. Separate utility meter and panel to each unit. Plumbing stubbed to unit. Floor
drainage and sand oil separator to be included.
The City of Fort Collins looks to design all new projects to meet the 2030 Energy Challenge
as a minimum. All new construction and major renovations are to earn a minimum “Gold”
certification using the US Green Building Councils (USGBC) LEED™ Green Rating System.
The most current version of LEED™ at the time of project design shall be used. Parking
garages do not fall within certification guidelines, but the City intends to design this facility
incorporating as many of the LEED™ credits as possible.
The energy goals for our City facilities is as follows:
• New Construction to have an Energy Use Intensity (EUI) of 2.5 for a parking garage
kBtu/sf/yr without PV.
• No ENERGY STAR score is available for parking garages.
• Renovation projects to be 0 kBtu/sf/yr. The City anticipates this project being Net
Positive with the Solar PV to help offset other City facilities.
A phased response is requested with pricing for each phase.

specifically authorized by the City.
The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the Professional understands that it shall have no
obligation under this Agreement with respect to information and material that (a) becomes
generally known to the public by publication or some means other than a breach of duty of this
Agreement, or (b) is required by law, regulation or court order to be disclosed, provided that the
request for such disclosure is proper and the disclosure does not exceed that which is required.
In the event of any disclosure under (b) above, the Professional shall furnish a copy of this
Agreement to anyone to whom it is required to make such disclosure and shall promptly advise
the City in writing of each such disclosure.
In the event that the Professional ceases to perform services for the City, or the City so requests
for any reason, the Professional shall promptly return to the City any and all information described
hereinabove, including all copies, notes and/or summaries (handwritten or mechanically
produced) thereof, in its possession or control or as to which it otherwise has access.
The Professional understands and agrees that the City’s remedies at law for a breach of the
Professional’s obligations under this Confidentiality Agreement may be inadequate and that the
City shall, in the event of any such breach, be entitled to seek equitable relief (including without
limitation preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and specific performance) in addition to all
other remedies provided hereunder or available at law.
