Dear Michelle,
Re: Gardens on Spring Creek Additional Services/Change Order Request - Sound Modeling
Due to the new decibal level maximum location change to the adjacent HOA property line that
has recently arisen as interpreted by the City of Fort Collins Attorney, additional sound modeling
studies are required to demonstrate project conformance. Our initial scope of work involved
meeting the maximum noise levels at individual owner property lines, as interpreted from City
Municipal Code requirements and as interpreted by City Planning Staff, and others.
The following scope is additional to the current contract scope and represents the process we
believe will be successful to complete this project:
MAJOR AMENDMENT ADDITIONAL SCOPE
Sound Modeling - D.L. Adams Associates
1. Sound Modeling Updates - Wall height revisions - Revisions as necessary to meet 55dBA
at property line via wall height adjustments and minimal receiving point adjustments. This is
the recommended approach from D.L. Adams as a decibal level below 90dBA at the receiv-
ing point may prove difficult to attract a variety of performers.
2. Sound Modeling Updates - Receiving point decibal level adjustment and wall height
revisions - Revisions as necessary to meet 55dBA at property line via receiving point decibal
level adjustments with some wall height modifications.
3. Sound Modeling Updates - Integrated and dispersed sound system design - Develop
the option of an integrated sound system and provide a narrative describing the installed
system and a cost opinion for the design, purchase, and integration of a permanent system.
4. Permanent noise monitoring system design - Consult and design a permanent noise
monitoring system that could be used to aid in the procedural enforcement of noise sources
within the gardens. Work with Gardens to establish triggering criteria and appropriate uses
for noise monitoring system. Cost estimate to be included.
5. Acoustical modeling process narrative and report - Update formal report to include the
direction that is decided upon and provide a complete report including all of our most cur-
rent recommendations for use in city zoning and planning hearing.
6. Attend Neighborhood Meeting on Feb. 8th
7. Attend Planning and Zoning Hearing and develop documents required
8. Attend meeting to discuss final sound modeling implications - Attend a meeting in Fort
Collins with representatives from the City and the Gardens. Discuss details of the most cur-
rent plan and the proposed implications.
