Other -2- T0: Ron Phillips FROM: Peter Patten DATE: November 18, 1987 SUBJECT: Results of Visitor Center Architect Selection and Process Recommendations The Visitor Center Architectural Selection Committee, consisting of Gordon Pierce and John Slevin from the Town Council, Harry Frampton, Peter Patten, Jeff Winston and Ron Phillips, met on Wednesday, November 18th to interview interested Town of Vail architects. We conducted eight 15-minute interviews in the morning and subsequently selected two firms for a"short list" in the afternoon. The "short listed" firms were interviewed for approximately one hour each. They were Morter Architects and Snowdon Hopkins Architects. All of the task force members felt that both of these firms were capable of adequately handling the project. In a very close and tough decision, the Task Force selected Morter Architects for the project. We have made it clear to Jim Morter that the project will be essentially starting from scratch at this point and that we expect no preconceived design concepts or architectural formats at this point. The Selection Committee would also like to make the following recommendations (besides the selection of Morter Architects) on how to proceed on the Visitor Center project: o Allocate a maximum of $20,000 to fund the project through schematic design. o Pursue an aggressive design schedule but do not compromise this extremely important phase of the project in order to have the Uisitor Center completed by December 1988. Evaluate the progress of the design on February 16, 1988 to determine the project's final schedule. o A steering committee with the following make-up should guide the project: Gordon Pierce, Harry Frampton, Ron Phillips, Jeff Winston, and a staff liaison o The project will require a daily contact person to perform the duties of communication, direction, organization, coordination, research, etc. It is felt that these duties will comprise approximately 60% of a full time equivalent person's duties beginning at the point the Council gives the project the green light until construction begins. o The job of construction manager is different from the above position and the exploration into a suitable construction firm should begin very early in the process--especially if it is a fast-track process. o The Ski Museum should not be located in the Visitor Center. The Ski Museum should be located in the space that has been designed for it in the new Vail Village Inn building. It is recommended that a high vuality display done by the Ski Museum be placed in the Visitor Center and that the guest then would be directed to the actual location of the Ski Museum in the Vail Village Inn. This recommendation is consistent with the concept that the Visitor Center is not a destination in and of itself, but rather an information center in which the guest finds out what activities, accommodations and amenities are available and then is sent into the Town to enjoy them. o The Council should firmly commit to the financing of the project before the design process proceeds. o The project should follow a work-shop-type format in which a great deal of initial brainstorming and coordination between all interested and affected parties is carried out. This would include regular Council updates. The Selection Committee is very excited about proceeding with the Visitor Center project. We continue to feel that this project could be a tremendous asset to the Town of Vail from the aesthetic, marketing and economic standpoints. We will be presenting a time flow chart to the Council on Tuesday which would fiacilitate the design phase of the project. We look forward to a discussion with Council on Tuesday.

DATE: October 28, 1987 - T0. P. R. McOllough/R. P_ Moston FROM. Johan J. Bemelen i SUBJECT: Traffic Control Signs on H 7oat ail Pass The Town of Vail in Resolution No. 18, Series of 1987, requests a reduced speed limit for truck tractor/semi-trailers on the downgrade of the west side of Vail Pass. Accordingly, we have conducted a traffic investigation of this location, and reevaluated the 55 mph zone on I 70 through the Vail area. Attached is a copy of the vehicle speed data showing a breakdown for both cars and trucks. We have reviewed the field data, along with accident data for the period March 1, 1986 to March 1, 1987 and calculations based on the Grade Severity System (GSS) which takes into account vehicle weight, percent grade, length of grade, brake temperatures, etc. We recommend that a speed limit of 45 mph be posted for all vehicles in excess of 30,000 lbs. GVW. The GSS calculations show the following recommended speeds and corresponding weights: Over 80,000 lbs. 17 mph 76 - 80,000 20 mph 71 - 75,000 24 mph 66 - 70,000 31 mph 61 - 65,000 53 mph Up to 60,000 65 mph It is obvious that there is a sharp drop in the recommended speed when the weight exceeds 60,000 lbs. In addition to the lower-speed restriction, we are also recommer?ding installation of signs of "Slcwer Traffic Keep Right." ° . rv e\~`,:.`'~~~i cc1 : 7) G, ~ Q,' , , . P. R. McOllough/R. P. Moston October 28, 1987 Traffic Control Signs on SH 70, Dowd Jct. to Vail Pass Page Two We recommend that three sets of the speed limit signs be installed, beginning at the summit, and then followed by an assembly "End/Speed Limit 45/Vehicles Over 30,000 GVW." We are also recommending that the speed limits for all other vehicles, not aFfected by these restrictions, be increased from 55 mph to 65 mph. The recommendations as described above are shown on the attached strip maps and authorization. JJB:BPD:ms Attachment cc: M.A. Reay w/attach. J.A. Bragdon w/attach. File
