I. PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK AND REQUIREMENTS
A. General Information
In 2006, the DDA initiated a pilot project which included improving the pedestrian-only Trimble
Court Alley (connecting College Avenue and Old Town Square) and Tenney Court Alley
(connecting Mountain Avenue with the Civic Center Parking Structure). The DDA’s goal in
initiating this project was to enhance the alleys aesthetically and to stimulate increased
economic vitality and use of these spaces.
In 2008, the DDA engaged local design firm Russell+Mills Studios to create a master plan of the
alleys (see Attachment 1 2008 Fort Collins Downtown Alleys Master Plan Report) between
CSU, Downtown and the River District. Beginning in 2010, the first phase of alley
enhancements began with the construction of two alleys: Montezuma Fuller and Old Firehouse
Alleys. These two installations were followed in 2011 by the construction of the Dalzell Alley
(formerly West Myrtle Alley) enhancements. Two additional square blocks of enhanced
alleyways at Old Firehouse Alley East and Godinez/Beardmore/Reidhead Alleys (formerly West
Mountain Avenue Alleys) were constructed in 2018.
The original master plan established a prioritized order of alleys to be enhanced. In 2019 the
DDA Board reviewed the ten remaining alleys identified for enhancement, reexamined the
relevancy of the order and made a few adjustments as well as establishing a model for
“bundling” the remaining alleys into five separate phases for design and construction beginning
in 2020 and continuing through 2029.
The Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority (DDA) is continuing its renovation of several
downtown alleys as part of its efforts to fully implement the Alley Masterplan. Tenney Court
North and West Oak Street Alleys are currently in the design phase and approximately 60%
complete. These alleys are planned to be constructed beginning in spring 2021.
The DDA’s goal is to renovate and enhance the alleys to represent the current and future use
trends with a keen eye towards the operational and maintenance characteristics. The intent is
to accomplish this overarching goal within the DDA’s mission while maintaining the project’s
goals.
“The DDA’s mission is to build public and private investment partnerships that foster
economic, cultural and social growth in the Fort Collins central business district.”
Project Goals:
• Create an equal or more exciting project than past alley projects.
• Complete a project that will create an experience that the business owners will support
by having the following reaction “I’d endure that construction again for a similar
outcome”.
• Complete the project in a staged manner over the next several years.
• Assist adjacent owners with private improvements.
• Highlight entrances to the alleys.
• Demonstrate proactive, best practices for project delivery that set a local example.
• Improve storm water conveyance and drainage.

RFP 9204 CM/GC Services for the 2020 Downtown Alley Program Page 5 of 27
• Utilize the DDA’s Standards Book as a baseline for all improvements (to be released in a
future Addendum).
• Execute each project to an on-time, on-budget delivery.
B. Project Status
The 2020 Alley program is being designed by Norris Design. The design has progressed to a
60% complete level. The plans are provided as part of this RFP solicitation and included as
Attachment 2.
The following general timelines for design and phasing milestones are as follows:
• 60% Plans Design Submittal September, 2020
• Final Design Submittal January, 2021
• CM/GC Bidding January/February, 2021
• Construction NTP April, 2021
The DDA expects Tenney Court North and West Oak Street Alleys to be complete in fall 2021.
At the DDA’s sole option, this Work Order type contract can be extended to include the next
phase of alleys planned for design in 2022 and construction in summer/fall of 2023.
C. CM/GC Scope of Work
The DDA has selected the CM/GC delivery model to allow the contractor an opportunity to
participate in the final design process and increase collaboration between the designer,
construction manager and DDA. The selected CM/GC will be required to enter into a Services
Agreement – Work Order type that defines each individual performance contract through work
orders. The DDA anticipates award of separate Work Orders for each phase of the project
including; 1) Preconstruction Services; 2) Construction of Tenney and West Oak Alleys and 3)
Possible next phase of alley design/construction. The intent is to form a strong partnership with
the DDA, the design team, and selected contractor team.
1) Preconstruction Support Services
The DDA will rely on the expertise of the CM/GC to deliver a better product in less time and at a
competitive cost compared to traditional design-bid-build construction project delivery. During
the preconstruction phase (from 60% to complete construction documents), the DDA will expect
the CM/GC to perform the following:
a) Participate in routine design meetings. These are estimated to occur every 2 weeks for
approximately 2 months. During these meetings, the CM/GC is expected to provide
project phasing, construability and scheduling input to the project team.
b) Cost Estimating. The CM/GC will provide a 60% complete contract document cost
estimate based on materials provided with this RFP.
c) Bidding, Best Value Selection. The CM/GC will manage the bidding process for
subcontractors and vendors. They will include DDA representatives in the process to
ensure a competitive subcontractor selection. The CM/GC will manage the bidding and
Official Purchasing Document

RFP 9204 CM/GC Services for the 2020 Downtown Alley Program Page 6 of 27
project pricing process to develop a final Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for
presentation to the DDA.
d) Design Review. The CM/GC will be expected to provide formal plan and specification
review comments to the DDA and design team at the 60% and 90% completion levels.
e) Scheduling. The CM/GC will prepare a Critical Path Method (CPM) construction
schedule using industry recognized software such as MS Project, P6 or PowerProject.
They will update this schedule routinely and present it to the DDA project team.
f) Utility Coordination. The CM/GC will coordinate with private and public utility providers
to properly schedule their utility upgrades and relocations.
g) Stakeholder Outreach. The CM/GC representatives will participate in early stakeholder
outreach immediately prior to construction to engage with the local business and
property owners.
h) Misc. Meetings. Participate in no more than 5, 2-hour miscellaneous coordination or
DDA Board meetings related to the project.
The DDA will compensate the selected CM/GC through a preconstruction services work order
based on assigned staff, their assigned hours to the project multiplied by their hourly rate. This
hourly rate shall represent a fully burdened rate including all overhead and profit.
2) Construction Services
a) The CM/GC will be expected to perform full construction services for the alley
construction including, but not limited to, demolition, utility installation, grading, concrete
pavement construction, flatwork, interlocking paver installation, irrigation, electrical,
lighting and site amenity installation.
b) The CM/GC will be required to provide oversight of all quality control. The DDA will
provide inspection and 3rd party material testing. However, the CM/GC will be
responsible for quality control of its own, and subcontractor forces.
c) The CM/GC will be responsible for all surveying, layout and control of the work to ensure
it is construction according to the plans, specifications, lines, grades and established
property boundaries.
d) The CM/GC will be required to provide qualified site supervision of its own, and
subcontractor forces.
e) The CM/GC will be required to self-perform at least 20% of the work. In this case, “work”
is defined as overhead, profit, materials purchased and installed and constructed
improvements.
f) The CM/GC will continue to provide scheduling and attendance at routine construction
progress meeting with the DDA and construction manager.
g) The CM/GC will warrant and guarantee the work for a period of 2-years from substantial
completion as defined by the DDA.
h) The CM/GC will be expected to execute a separate construction work order agreement
with associated general and special conditions to formulate the construction contract.
3) CM/GC Cost of Work and Fee Development
The DDA will expect the selected CM/GC contractor to provide a complete open book cost
accounting process to develop the GMP and administer construction costs throughout the
construction phase of the project. This shall include detailed cost reports provided monthly with
each pay application that substantiate the payment to the CM/GC.
Official Purchasing Document
Last updated 10/2017
RFP 9204 CM/GC Services for the 2020 Downtown Alley Program Page 7 of 27
a) Development of GMP. The CM/GC shall obtain competitive bids, through a
documentable bidding process overseen by DDA representatives. This bidding process
shall include solicitation of at least 3 subcontractors for each trade element of the project
not self-performed by the CM/GC. Work self-performed by the CM/GC shall be detailed
in the GMP proposal and verified as competitive through a third-party cost verification.
b) Markups. The CM/GC shall, at the time of proposal to this RFP, provide cost of work
markups as outlined in Table 1 below which explain how the complete GMP is prepared.
The CM/GC shall also provide an example of how a complete GMP is prepared as part
of their proposal.
c) Administration of the GMP. During the construction phase, the DDA representatives will
be involved in administration of the GMP in partnership with the CM/GC. The GMP
value related to actual project costs will be known at all times. Each month, the actual
project cost will be reviewed by the DDA to ensure budget targets are maintained. Each
element of the GMP is noted below with how it will be presented and managed during
the construction phase.
▪ Contractor owned contingency. Once the GMP is finally negotiated, there will be no
contractor owned contingency in the contract. As estimating occurs, the CM/GC can
maintain a % of estimating contingency based on the completeness of the contract
documents.
▪ Owner contingency. The DDA will maintain owner contingency outside of the
construction contract and use it for owner directed changes and unforeseen
conditions.
▪ Allowances. Elements of work that are difficult to identify and define during the GMP
development may be defined in the contract as allowances. If an allowance item is
defined, the CM/GC shall accurately account for costs applied to this allowance
monthly during the course of construction delivery. The CM/GC shall also gain
approval from the DDA prior to expending costs against an allowance value.
▪ Fee, GCs, Cost of Work. During the course of construction, the DDA will pay the
actual cost of work plus fee and applicable general condition (GC) costs as may be
applicable to each pay application.

a) At any time, if the DDA determines that an agreement or negotiated GMP cannot be
reached, the DDA reserves the right to end contract negotiations, pay the CM/GC for
work performed through the preconstruction contract and terminate the CM/GC
relationship. The DDA then can choose to procure construction services through
another means as it sees necessary. In the event the DDA chooses to publicly bid the
project, the CM/GC will not be eligible to bid on the project.
b) The DDA intends to use the 2013 EJCDC General Conditions of the contract documents
along with Division 0 front ends and Supplementary Conditions uniquely written for this
CM/GC delivery model. Technical specifications in CSI format along with the
construction drawings will form the entire construction document package with the
CM/GC.
c) Under the Work Order type contract, the DDA may ask the CM/GC to procure materials,
or perform early work packages under unique work orders issues as part of this project.
All cost of work development as described in this RFP shall be the same for each work
order.
