ITEM/TOPIC: Town Manager Report:
1) Golden Peak Traffic Update memo- Greg Hall and Daric Harvey, TOV and Jeff Babb, VRI
ATTACHMENTS:
Golden Peak Traffic information
11/20/2012
To: Vail Town Council
From: Town Manager’s Office, Public Works Department, Vail Police Department
Date: November 20, 2012
Subject: Vail Valley Drive Traffic
I. SUMMARY
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a report on the actions which have
resulted from refinements and a series of neighborhood meetings concerning traffic
issues on Vail Valley Drive associated with the Golden Peak area.
II. CHANGES AND COMMITMENTS FOR THE 2012-2013 SKI SEASON
Three meetings were held with the neighborhood concerning Vail Valley Drive traffic.
Issues brought up ranged from short term concerns to longer range issues. A final pre
ski season meeting was held on November 1, 2012, and the following is a summary of
the actions items and commitments by the various parties to be implemented this
coming ski season.
Town of Vail:
• All pedestrian crosswalks along Vail Valley Drive will be marked with the cross
walk signs, in addition to advance warning signs on either end of the
neighborhood. Signs will be in place for the ski season.
• Updated traffic counts will be taken during peak traffic times as a comparison to
previous traffic counts the town has on record to provide a more up to date
understanding of the traffic issues.
• The Police Department will have one more Code Enforcement Officer position
filled. In addition, a revised schedule for the Vail Police Department will have
additional police officer coverage on Saturdays during the 2012-2012 ski season.
• A Town of Vail Transportation Ordinance (Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2012,
passed on second reading November 6, 2012) which requires all private vehicles
providing transportation services to be registered and sets out where these
vehicles can operate within the town will be adopted and implemented. This will
allow better education and enforcement regarding issues with the providers.
11/20/2012
Town of Vail Page 2
Vail Resorts
• DEVO(Vail Development Team) drop off will occur at the Vail Transportation
Center exclusively. This will eliminate all traffic to Golden Peak for DEVO in the
mornings. The DEVO pick up will still occur at Golden Peak; however due to
many parents skiing down to pick up their kids, the pick up has been less of an
issue.
• There will be a limited amount of premiere reservation parking at the lots. This
will be a service which utilizes both passport spaces in the rental pool,
approximately 10-15, as well as utilizing 10 striped spaces which can be parked
with 15 cars. The personnel operating the service will also be responsible to
manage the parking lot per the Golden Peak Management Agreement.
Manor Vail
• Manor Vail will be utilizing two parking lot attendants to assist with moving traffic
near their entry when parking is available to the public.
Ski Club Vail
• If needed Ski Club will experiment with running their driveway traffic in the
opposite direction to lessen impacts to the Manor Vail entry. The traffic would
enter the east drive cut and exit out of the west drive cut.
All
• Meet to review the season to date after the Martin Luther King holiday to
evaluate the changes implemented.

RE: Betty Ford Alpine Gardens – proposed Alpine Education Center –
Request for Inclusion on Town Council Meeting Agenda for November 20, 2012
Dear Bill,
Please consider this letter as a formal request from my client, Betty ford Alpine Gardens to be included on the
agenda for the November 20, 2012, Vail Town Council meeting. I would appreciate it if you would include this
letter in the Council’s packet for the meeting so that they may review it in advance.
The non-profit entity known as Betty Ford Alpine Gardens has been leasing land from the Town of Vail now for
almost 25 years and has developed a world class alpine garden in the lower bench of Ford Park. The garden has
become a major attraction within our community during the summer and literally draws visitors from all over the
world. The gardens have evolved into what is now nationally renowned and acknowledged as a highlight of any
visit to Vail, bringing in an estimated 11 million dollars for Vail’s summer economy. The gardens are a wonderful
complement to the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater, as patrons of the events at the Amphitheater enjoy the garden
before and after Amphitheater events. The gardens provide inspiration and education to our community and
guests.
The staff and volunteers who manage and maintain the garden are in need of improved facilities. The current
offices for the staff are in Vail Village, remote from the gardens. The Board of the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens
has been studying opportunities to construct a new facility adjacent to the “old school house” which is currently
used as a retail outlet for the gardens. With a footprint of less than 2,000 sf, this new facility would fit nicely to
the west of the school house, south of Betty Ford Way. This two-story, 3,000 +/- sf building would provide a
year-round presence for Betty Ford Alpine Gardens and would include; display/multi-purpose space, men’s and
women’s restrooms, office space for staff and a greenhouse for year-round cultivation /education purposes.
Because of the proposed inclusion of an elevator, the facility would provide much needed ADA access to the
pathways along the stream corridor.
Administrative space is listed as an allowed use in the Ford Park Management Plan; in fact offices for the Vail
Recreation District are already in the park. The Betty Ford Alpine Gardens have operated for twenty five years in
a location remote from the gardens. This has been inefficient and creates many operational challenges. The
proposed new facility would foster the following improvements;
1. Allows for increased year round education programs and activity in Ford Park.
2. Increased efficiency with staff not constantly travelling back and forth.
3. Improved visitor relations with more staff on site. Becomes a heartbeat for the Park.
4. Gives the horticultural staff access to an office and break room during the day.
11/20/2012
5. Gives horticultural staff access to the computers and databases.
6. Makes it possible to have staff meetings with office and horticultural staff.
7. Administration area does not add to size of building, being underground.
You may recall that the Council agreed to include a “place holder” for this facility in the Ford Park Management
Plan, which was amended last year. We have previously presented our plans for this facility to the Town Council
in a work session and received a non-binding endorsement from the majority of the Council. We are now
requesting that the Town Council grant permission for Betty Ford Alpine Gardens to proceed into the formal
approval process for this proposed facility, which would include the submittal of a “Development Plan” to the
PEC and the submittal of our plans to the DRB for their consideration. It will also be necessary to modify the
lease boundary of the gardens to accommodate this proposed improvement.
In collaboration with the Vail Valley Foundation, the fundraising effort is underway for the Alpine Education
Center. The estimated cost to construct the facility is $1.4M, including hard and soft costs. The fund raising goal
is $3.0M, which would allow for the inclusion of some optional enhancements to the facility and to provide funds
for the on-going maintenance of this new facility.
The schedule for the development of this facility would coincide with the Phase II improvements to the Gerald R.
Ford Amphitheater, which the Vail Valley Foundation is planning to start in the fall of 2013. With your support,
we would plan to begin the construction of our new facility at that same time and would endeavor to have it
completed by mid-June of 2014.
We are submitting conceptual drawings of the proposed facility, as prepared by Zehren and Associates, depicting
its position in the Park, floor plans indicating the uses on each of the two floors and character images of the
exterior of the facility for your review and consideration.
We look forward to making a brief presentation to the Council and answering any questions that they might have
on the evening of November 20, 2012

I. SUMMARY
Resolution No. 31, Series of 2012 a resolution amending the Town of Vail Employee
Housing Strategic Plan, and setting forth details in regard thereto.
The proposed Resolution No. 31, Series of 2012 (Attachment A) with the Employee

proposed Implementation Matrix.
In 2006 as part of Vail 20/20 Focus on the Future the community established its housing
goal. It is as follows:
“The Town of Vail recognizes the need for employee housing as infrastructure
that promotes community, reduces transit needs and keeps more employees
living in the Town, and will provide enough deed restricted housing for at least 30
percent of the work force through policies, regulations and development.”

III. BACKGROUND
The Town of Vail Employee Housing Strategic Plan was established on September 2,
2008 through the Town Council’s adoption of Resolution No. 20, Series of 2008.
On August 21, 2012 the Vail Town Council held a work session to discuss the proposed
amendments to the Employee Housing Strategic Plan.
11/20/2012
Town of Vail Page 3
The Vail Local Housing Authority had discussed these proposed amendments to the
Employee Housing Strategic Plan at its August 23, August 28, September 6, and
September 25, 2012 public meetings. On September 25, 2012 the Vail Local Housing
Authority forwarded a recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for the
proposed amendments.
Since the Town Council adopted the Plan in 2008 market conditions have changed
throughout Eagle County. The proposed Implementation Matrix does not ask the
business community or new development to take any new or additional actions to
provide employee housing. Proposed action items for the next five-year period focus on
developing new for-sale housing units rather than rental units. Today, 90% of current
EHUs are renter-occupied and focusing on for-sale units will provide a greater diversity
in housing opportunities and residents.
The Plan indicates a planning time frame of five to ten years and acknowledges the
Implementation Matrix should be updated more frequently. The proposed
Implementation Matrix provides action steps for the Town of Vail to take to help achieve
the goal of ensuring 3 out of 10 employees a housing unit in Vail.
Today, commercial linkage and inclusionary zoning are designed to conjunctively
ensure there is deed restricted employee housing for at least 30% of new employees
generated by new development and redevelopment. The regulatory requirements
provide multiple methods of mitigation and do not require employee housing be
provided for a specific type of wage earners. The goal is for development to provide the
type(s) of employee housing most suited to the needs of that development’s future
employees.
Catch Up is a portion of the Town’s goal that is exclusively within the purview and
control of the Town of Vail. Based on the Town’s goal and existing deed restricted
properties in Vail, the deed restricted employee housing unit gap is currently 677 beds.
With an average occupancy of 2.04 people per unit, the 677 bed gap equates to 332
new deed restricted employee housing units (EHU). Today there are 725 deed
restricted EHUs in Vail. Proposed development action items for 2013 to 2016 could
create 56 new “catch up” EHUs in Vail.
EHUs are an effective means to continue to increase the total number of full-time
households living in the Town of Vail. Full-time households are the cornerstone to Vail
remaining a vibrant resort community. There are successful resorts that do not have
communities and Vail has chosen to be the premier international resort community!
Today, 64% of Vail’s dwelling units are partially occupied or vacant. Based on existing
trends, over time the percentage of partially occupied or vacant dwelling units is likely to
increase. Having a critical mass of homeowners live in a community:
• gives residents a greater stake in the community,
• increases the number and diversity of businesses in neighborhoods, and
• stimulates economic investment.

3) Improve the quality of the experience, and
4) Develop future leadership.

Strategic Plan
TOWN OF VAIL
EMPLOYEE HOUSING
STRATEGIC PLAN
BACKGROUND
In 2006, through the Vail 20/20 Focus on the Future process the community established
its housing goal. It is as follows:
“The Town of Vail recognizes the need for housing as
infrastructure that promotes community, reduces transit needs
and keeps more employees living in the town, and will provide
enough deed-restricted housing for at least 30 percent of the
workforce through policies, regulations and publicly initiated
development.”
Based upon the community’s work, the Vail Town Council has confirmed the Town of
Vail recognizes deed restricted employee housing as basic infrastructure. This type of
housing allows employees to live within the town, promoting community, and improving
the quality of our local workforce, thereby supporting the local economy, and reducing
regional transit needs. The Employee Housing Strategic Plan seeks to meet the
expectations established by the community and confirmed by the Town Council and
provide enough deed-restricted housing for at least 30 percent of the community’s
workforce to live in the Town of Vail through a variety of policies, regulations and
publicly initiated development projects.
The Town of Vail adopted its Employee Housing Strategic Plan in September, 2008, at
the height of the global real estate market boom. As market conditions have changed
throughout Eagle County and numerous action items from the Employee Housing
Strategic Plan (EHSP) have been completed the Town of Vail is amending the
Implementation Matrix and is adding new information to the EHSP to ensure the EHSP
continues to achieve the Town’s employee housing goal that was established in 2006
and adopted in 2008 as part of the Employee Housing Strategic Plan.
In Vail today, approximately 90% of existing deed restricted employee housing units
(EHU) in Vail are renter occupied. Based on the Vail Town Council’s adopted goals of:
11/20/2012
2 Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
improve economic vitality,
grow a balanced community,
improve the quality of the experience, and
develop future leadership
and that having a critical mass of homeowners live in a community:
gives residents a greater stake in the community,
increases the number and diversity of businesses in neighborhoods, and
stimulates economic investment
amendments to the EHSP and specifically the Implementation Matrix will focus, at least
in the next five-years, on developing new for-sale EHUs with the goal of achieving the
community’s stated goal of providing enough deed-restricted housing for at least 30% of
the workforce through policies, regulations and publicly initiated development.
Achieving the goal is critical for Vail’s long-term success as a resort community. It is
also recognized that housing needs follow economic growth and recession cycles.
Successful implementation of the EHSP will provide 3 out of every 10 employees an
EHU in Vail and the remaining 7 out of 10 employees will rely on the private sector for
their housing.
PURPOSE
The EHSP is a decision-making guide for the implementation of employee occupied
housing programs.
The EHSP documents the Town’s current approaches to ensuring employee housing. It
identifies the goal, outlines methods and defines action steps the Town will pursue. In
addition, the Appendices provide background information on Town housing definitions,
policies, and initiatives. The appendices also include relevant reports to support EHU
development and policy decisions in Vail. This information is provided as an additional
resource. The EHSP also recognizes and affirms the importance of Vail constantly
serving as a regional partner in the provision of employee housing.
The EHSP is meant to lead the actions of Staff, the Vail Local Housing Authority and the
Vail Town Council in future decisions regarding funding and development of employee
housing in Vail.

CURRENT CONDITIONS
Dwelling Units
As of 2010 there are approximately 7,230 dwelling units in the Town of Vail, this is an
almost seventy percent (70%) increase in the number of dwelling units than existed in
1980. From 1980 to 2010, Vail’s population increased nearly forty three percent (43%).
Vail has always been and continues to be a highly desirable location to own a vacation
home and this is clearly evident based on the increase in the number of dwelling units at
nearly twice the pace the number of full-time residents has increased. According to the
2010 US Census sixty four percent (64%) of Vail’s dwelling units are partially occupied
or vacant.

Since the Town adopted its EHSP there is been highest median price per square foot
for Vail real estate in its history. Following 2008, there was a significant decrease in the
median price per square foot for real estate and since then it appears to be more level.
The spike in 2010 is likely related to unit sales at Solaris that went under contract in
2007/2008.

Strategic Plan
The major redevelopment that Vail experienced from 2004 to 2012 also more than
doubled (229% increase)from 376 existing dwelling units to 1,238 dwelling units today in
Vail Village and Lionshead associated with 33 major projects. During this same period
of time, the number of EHUs associated with 33 of the major redevelopment projects
increased from 95 EHUs to 164 EHUs (72% increase).
(Source: Town of Vail Community Development Department)
There are 2,604 full-time occupied dwelling units in the Town of Vail. 725 of the 2,604
full-time occupied dwelling units in Vail are EHUs. As evidenced by the data, EHUs are
an effective means to continue to increase the total number of full-time households
living in Vail. Full-time households are the cornerstone to Vail remaining a vibrant resort
community.

According to the 2000 and 2010 US Census, Vail had a 43% or a 506 household
decrease in the number of households earning $50,000 to $200,000 annually
(likely local wage earners) from 2000 to 2010.
During the same time period Eagle County had a 25% or 2,206 household
increase in the number of households earning between $50,000 and $200,000

7 Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
As part of the major redevelopment projects that took place in Vail Village and
Lionshead from 2004 to 2012 the amount of commercial square footage has more than
doubled (131% increase). This outcome was intentional and is based on the adopted
goals of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan as well as the Vail Village Master
Plan. While an increase in commercial square footage generally equates to higher
sales tax collections it also increases the number of service sector jobs that exist in the
Town of Vail, many of which are seasonal.
Consistent with commercial development and job creation in Vail, throughout Eagle
County the largest employment industry is Accommodations and Food Services,
employing 26% of all employees.
11/20/2012
8 Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
PLANNING TIMEFRAME
The EHSP is based on a five-to-ten year planning horizon; it looks well into the future
anticipating the needs for employee housing over time. The EHSP also contains
identified “action steps” targeted for a one to three year period. These action steps will
need to be evaluated annually and it is anticipated that they will be updated at least
every three years as market conditions change.
THREATS, WEAKNESSES, STRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
It is important to recognize and plan for the threats, weaknesses, strengths and
opportunities that exist in the Town of Vail as well acknowledge the broader trends that
impact Vail.
Threats
Increasing Competition For Employees
o Within the next ten-years estimates predict 2,000 new jobs will be created
by development and redevelopment within the Town of Vail
The majority of these jobs will be service sector
o Eagle County job growth is predicted at 1.5% annually through 2013 and
2.5% annually from 2013 to 2015 (DOLA)
o From 2015 to 2020 annual average job growth is likely to be higher, in the
range of 3% - 4% or more (DOLA)
State Demography Office shows a modest decline (0.5%)in population from 2010
data for Eagle County
Employee housing demand will increase due to demand from replacement
workers of retirees (Eagle County Housing Needs Assessment Update, 2012)
Data indicates 46.5% of all renters in Eagle County are cost burdened (paying
more than 30% of their income for housing) (Eagle County Housing Needs
Assessment Update, 2012)
64% of Vail’s dwelling units are either partially occupied or vacant (2010 US
Census)
Real Estate Trends
o Real estate in the Town of Vail is expensive as compared to the rest of the
region as well as compared to the national market
11/20/2012
9 Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
o The conversion of locally occupied housing to second homes
o The free market focuses on the housing desires of second homeowner
o Increasing cost of construction
o Vail real estate values continue to trend upward
o Regional real estate values continue to be more affordable
o The gap between what locally earned wages can afford and free market
housing prices continues to increase, particularly in Vail
Unique Geographic Constraints
o Vail Pass on the East
o Dowd Junction on the West
o Limited undeveloped land within the Town of Vail
o Surrounded on the north and south by National Forest and Bureau of Land
Management lands
o Farthest employment center from the Eagle County population base
Cost of Commuting
o The cost of gas continues to increase
o Public transportation does not provide a viable alternative to all communities
o The availability and cost of parking is prohibitive
Weaknesses
Politics
o Historical lack of political will for developing new employee housing
o Previously, no clear policy direction for the provision of employee housing
o Lack of Town owned land zoned for employee housing
o There is not dedicated funding for employee housing
o At the beginning, failure to plan for the housing needs of Vail employees
Real Estate Market
o Lack of free market homes affordable to local employees
o Potential home buyers get less “bang for the buck” in Vail as compared to the
region
o Deed restricted housing developed does not provide a full spectrum of
housing types (i.e., single family homes)
Lack of permanent employees hired by local businesses
11/20/2012
10 Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
o The jobs being generated by redevelopment are predominately lower paying
seasonal service jobs
o Added challenge to establishing a diverse community
Strengths
Vail has produced or caused to be produced 725 EHUs without requiring
any ongoing general fund support and very little general fund expenditures
Community support for creating new employee housing
Clarity around the Town’s adopted housing goal

OBJECTIVES
A. Provide housing to address needs generated by new development or
redevelopment.
It is documented and understood that new development will require additional
employees and a goal of the EHSP is to provide for that housing. This goal is also
referred to as “ Keep Up” in the EHSP; going forward the Town will attempt to
address the increase in demand from new employees by requiring deed-restricted
housing as a condition of new development or redevelopment. The Town will
encourage developers to provide a range of housing choices for the entire
spectrum of jobs that are being created by the new development.
B. Respond to the existing affordable housing shortfall by pursuing a number
of identified programs and development opportunities.
This goal is also referred to as “Catch Up” in the EHSP; it describes efforts to
address deficiencies in the available housing inventory that have arisen over a
period of years.
C. Call for any deed-restricted housing that is required as a condition of
development to be constructed at the time new development occurs.
By dispersing year-round housing multiple objectives are met: neighborhoods are
occupied throughout the year enhancing security and encouraging activity.
Economies are achieved by having developers integrate deed-restricted housing at
the time they are constructing other uses, and construction of new residences
occurs at the time the demand is first triggered.

Strategic Plan
D. Creation and maintenance of housing in Vail for emergency and key service
workers.
In Vail, where weather and the regional road system create periodic strains, this is
especially important. The Town will also work with other businesses that provide
services essential to municipal operations to encourage they have critical
employees living within the Town of Vail. The Town will offer partnership
opportunities to these types of employers.
E. Actively address affordable housing for Vail workers to ensure that the
community remains competitive in economic terms.
With the number of Down-Valley jobs continuing to increase, there will be
competition for workers; Vail will work to provide appropriate housing to ensure
that the Town remains attractive in the regional job market.
F. Increase and maintain deed-restricted housing within the Town to
encourage the efficient use of resources by placing employees closer to
their place of work.
It is understood there is a reduced need for personal automobiles and reduced
transit costs when home and work are in close proximity to one another. Also,
there may be changes in workforce demographics that result in opportunities to
reduce parking associated with affordable housing in selected locations. To the
extent these opportunities can be realized, without negative impacts on the overall
community, they will be explored.
G. Planning for new employee housing will take jobs and wages into account.
It is recognized that wages associated with a particular job influence housing
demand. In both catch-up and keep-up programs the Town will work toward
providing a range of housing types at price points appropriate to the varying
incomes of workers in Vail. It is recognized the free market provides limited
opportunity for even the highest wage earners to live and work in Town and it is
necessary to have a full range of employees in the community. Diverse housing
opportunities for the broadest range of employees will enhance the community.
H. Provide and plan for housing along with local and regional public
transportation.
The EHSP recognizes that these functions are intertwined and where deed-
restricted housing exists, there will be a demand for transportation services. It is
the goal of the Town to minimize overall transportation costs by housing
employees in proximity to their jobs, and to also anticipate the projected costs of
11/20/2012
13 Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
transportation (due to fuel and other scarce resources) in the provision of deed-
restricted housing elsewhere in the region.
POLICY STATEMENTS
The Town of Vail will pursue three broadly described methods to achieve the Town’s
housing goal.
The Town will Impose Regulatory Requirements
Development will be required to address a portion of its housing demand within
the Town of Vail; and
New development and redevelopment will be required to address a portion of its
housing demand at the development site.
Development and Acquisition Initiated by the Town
To address employee housing needs beyond the regulatory requirements for
new development; and
To respond to the desire to promote a more diverse and vibrant local community.
Form Regional Partnerships
These efforts will address employee housing needs beyond the regulatory
requirements by actively seeking partnerships, including:
o Public / Private, and
o Multi Jurisdictional.
These broad methods are further addressed in the Action Steps that are described in
the following section.
ACTION STEPS
The Town will continue to use tools already in place including:
Regulatory Requirements:
Commercial Linkage
The Town will review the current linkage program to evaluate whether it has been
meeting the objectives of ensuring that new housing is being created to house a
portion of the employee demand that is being generated by new commercial
uses in the Town. At this time, no immediate changes in the overall
requirements of the program are anticipated. However, the current requirement
for new commercial development to provide employee housing for at least twenty
percent (20%) of the employees generated may be reevaluated and the required
percentage may be changed as a result of the review, the areas of impact may
11/20/2012
14 Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
be modified, and the formulas for calculating job generation rates may be further
refined. Additionally, an updated Rational Nexus will need to be completed on a
periodic schedule. The Linkage Program provides housing to “keep up” with new
demand as it is generated.
Recognizing developable land in Vail as a limit on the community’s ability to
provide EHUs, the Town amended its Commercial Linkage requirements to
require all new construction and demo/rebuilds to provide at least one-half of
their required mitigation on-site.
Achieves Objectives A, C, E, F, and G.
Inclusionary Zoning
The Town does not anticipate major changes to the Inclusionary Housing
program at this time. However, the current requirement to restrict 10 percent
(10%) of new residential square footage in high density areas to be employee
housing with deed restrictions, may be reevaluated and the required percentage
may be changed as a result of the evaluation, and/or the areas (zone districts) of
impact may be modified. The Inclusionary Program provides housing to “keep
up” with new demand as it is generated.
Recognizing developable land in Vail as a limit on the community’s ability to
provide EHUs, the Town amended its Inclusionary Zoning requirements to
require all new construction and demo/rebuilds to provide at least one-half of
their required mitigation on-site.
Achieves Objectives A, C, E, F, and G.
Housing District Zoning Designation
The Town currently has a “Housing District” zoning designation. As an action
step to implement the Housing Plan, the Town will review the requirements of
this district to ensure that it is fully meeting its intended purposes. That review
will address the procedural requirements for the Housing District, land use
provisions including density, parking and design standards, and provisions for
density bonuses. The evaluation of the Housing District will ensure the Housing
District provides optimal employee housing development.
Achieves Objectives B, D, E, F, and G.
11/20/2012
15 Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
Town Initiatives:
Buy-Downs to Generate Deed-restricted Units
The Town will actively pursue purchase of attractively priced units for imposition
of an appreciation capped deed restriction, and subsequent resale. This
technique for increasing the supply of permanently affordable housing is known
as a “buy down.” It is recognized that this program will be highly market
dependent, with limited applicability when the local residential market is surging,
and becoming more attractive at times when there is a plateauing of prices. The
Town will need to increase the allocation of funds to underwrite the costs
associated with purchasing, deed restricting and reselling for-sale units. This is
an opportunity to provide diverse housing, to serve the full spectrum of
employees. It is important to update the parameters by which buy down units are
considered so each buy down unit meets the established goals. Further, it is
expected that there will be active involvement by the Housing Authority in
overseeing this program. The Buy-Downs program provides housing to “catch
up” with existing deficiencies and reduce market leakage.
Achieves Objectives B, D, E, F, and G.
Employee Housing Units Exchange Program
The Town adopted an Employee Housing Unit Exchange Program in order to
eliminate EHUs that are under-occupied or unoccupied. The Employee Housing
Unit Exchange Program requires the square footage of existing EHUs be
increased either two or three times depending on the location of the existing
EHU. This can improve the livability of EHUs as well as increase the number of
EHUs in Vail. It is recognized that allowing EHU exchanges means certain
neighborhoods in Vail may no longer have EHUs. While there are a limited
number of EHUs eligible to participate in the Employee Housing Unit Exchange
Program, the Program should be evaluated from time-to-time to ensure it is
achieving its goal.
Achieves Objectives B, E, F, and G.
Incentive Zoning and Density Bonuses
The Town will consider workforce housing objectives in all review processes that
permit discretion. This means that the Town will work actively with developers as
a part of the Housing District, Special Development District review processes and
requested changes in zoning to not only meet the requirements of existing code,
but to look for opportunities to go beyond code requirements to encourage
11/20/2012
16 Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
additional workforce housing to be created. As a part of these review processes
the Town will work actively with developers to create incentives to develop
housing that exceeds the minimal requirements contained in the code. Additional
density may be granted in selected locations through the appropriate review
processes, and fee waivers and subsidies may be considered. The Incentives
Zoning and Density Bonuses help Vail to “catch up” with existing deficiencies and
add to the overall percent of employees living within the Town of Vail.
Achieves Objectives B, D, E, F, and G.
Review Rezoning and Vacant Land Opportunities
The Town will regularly review existing codes and the vacant land inventory to
identify opportunities to modify current programs that further support the goals of
this Plan. The Review of Rezonings and Vacant Land provides “catch up”
opportunities to address existing deficiencies and add to the overall percent of
employees living within the Town of Vail.
Achieves Objectives B, D, E, F, and G.
Town Participation in Developments Providing Deed-Restricted Housing
The Town is prepared to actively participate in, and will seek partners to further
the development of deed-restricted housing. Vail Commons, Middle Creek,
Buzzard Park and Miller Ranch (located near Edwards in Eagle County) are four
relatively large developments that have been completed through active Town
participation. The existing developments serve households at different income
levels. This has been, and will continue to be an objective of the Town, to serve
the broad spectrum of need within the community rather than focusing on just a
narrow category of income or household type. The Town participation provides
“catch up” opportunities to address existing deficiencies and add to the overall
percent of employees living within the Town of Vail.
Achieves Objectives B, D, E, F, G, and H.
Explore Options for a Dedicated Funding Source for Employee Housing
Initiatives
The Town will explore options for a dedicated funding source to ensure adequate
and ongoing resources for employee housing initiatives. It is recognized the
Town will play an integral role in the creation of employee housing and dedicated
dollars will aid in these efforts. The Town may pursue any of the following
funding alternatives: a dedicated sales tax increase, a dedicated mill levy
increase, dedication of the Real Estate Transfer Tax or any other funding source
11/20/2012
17 Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
that may be identified. A dedicated funding source would provide “catch up”
housing opportunities for Vail workers.
Achieves Objectives B, D, E, F, G, and H.
Create a Residential Conditions Base Line in the Town of Vail
Conduct a comprehensive study of current units. Identify the type of units that
exist (i.e. studio, one-bedroom, etc.), each unit’s current use (i.e. employee
occupied, short-term rental, etc.), and the ownership of the unit (i.e. owner-
occupied, tenant occupied, etc.). Additionally, collect household demographic
data to better understand the composition of the community. This information will
allow Vail to better target programs to meet the needs of the community. This
data will establish the baseline against which future employee housing success
will be measured. The baseline conditions will support both “catch up” and
“keep up” efforts.
Achieves Objectives A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H.
Monitor the Rate of Free Market Employee Occupied Homes
The Town will monitor the rate of free market homes occupied by local workers,
and deed-restricted homes, on a regular basis. Conversions of free market
residential units to second home owner units will be considered in Vail’s
evaluation of progress toward the goals identified in this Plan. This monitoring
will support both “catch up” and “keep up” efforts.
Achieves Objectives B, E, F, and G.
Conduct a Demographics Survey of Current Vail Residents
In order to better understand the current demographics of the local population it
is necessary to conduct a local survey. This will provide the Town with back
ground information to consider in future housing policy and development
decisions to ensure the Town is maintaining a character that is as diverse as it is
today. This may occur in conjunction the Annual Community Survey. This
information will support “catch up” efforts.
Achieves Objectives A, B, D, E, F, and H.
11/20/2012
18 Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
Establish a List of Essential Service Providers in the Town of Vail
Establish a list of essential service providers in the Town of Vail to potentially
partner with to ensure critical service workers live within the Town of Vail. This
information will support “catch up” efforts.
Achieves Objective D.
Host Personal Finance and/or Home Buyer Education
To encourage home ownership and create successful home owners it is
important to provide information and educational opportunities to potential
residents. This may also provide the encouragement current renters or existing
home owners may need to take the next step in the housing market, freeing up
their existing unit to house other employees. This education may provide
additional “catch up” opportunity.
Achieves Objectives B, D, E, and F.
Annual Review
In order to ensure the EHSP is always current and is responsive to changing
conditions, the Housing Authority shall review the EHSP annually and changes
shall be periodically recommended to the Town Council. The purpose of these
reviews shall be to ensure that progress on topics related to employee housing is
being maintained and that adjustments in Objectives, Policies and Action Steps
are made in a timely and specific manner.
Achieves Objectives A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H.
Regional Efforts:
In order to house employees associated with existing and anticipated jobs,
workforce housing will be required throughout the County as well as in the Town.
Vail will work actively with Eagle County officials and other municipalities to look
for regional solutions to providing housing. Further, the need to provide transit
services along with housing is also identified. When developing housing for Vail
employees in Down-Valley locations, the cost of transit services will be
considered in evaluations.
While furthering regional housing is an objective of the Town, it will occur in
concert with efforts in Vail, and in-Town deed-restricted housing will be a priority.
The Town believes that there are a finite number of opportunities within Vail and
11/20/2012
19 Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
these will be explored and pursued; Down-Valley development will not be
undertaken if it results in not being able to participate in an opportunity within the
Town’s boundary.
Partnering opportunities for Down-Valley development will occur through
partnerships that may include not only the County, but also the Town of Avon,
Town of Minturn, Eagle County School District, the U.S. Forest Service, and
potentially private developers. The Dowd Junction area and the Village at Avon
are identified as particular areas of interest where development opportunities are
to be explored.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Roles and Responsibilities – The provision of deed-restricted housing is viewed as a
partnership between various boards within the Town, each having important roles and
responsibilities. As such, it is imperative that communications be established and
maintained between boards to achieve the goal and objectives that are stated in this
Plan. Efforts will be made to define, and periodically refine, the roles and associated
communications between the bodies identified below.
The Town Council shall act in accordance with Town codes and shall fulfill their
decision-making functions as identified by local ordinances. Land Use Regulations
typically stipulate the review procedures to be followed in reviewing a proposed
development. Ultimately, most reviews require an affirmative decision by the Town
Council. Therefore, the Council will be the ultimate decision-making body for
developments that require Council review.
The Planning and Environmental Commission and the Design Review Board also
play an important development review role. These two boards will review development
proposals, consistent with the requirements of codes and ordinances, to ensure that
development is in compliance.
The Vail Housing Authority (V.L.H.A.) plays a critical role in ensuring that housing for
long-term residents and seasonal employees is available in the Town. This in turn,
enhances the quality of life for local residents, and improves the economic viability of
the area. The V.L.H. A. mission:
11/20/2012
24 Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
The V.L.H. A. will play an advisory role to the Town Council and the Planning and
Environmental Commission on matters related to housing policy and development. The
Authority will use this Housing Plan as a working document to guide future efforts. As
identified in the EHSP, the Authority will work to carry out the Action Steps over the next
three years. The Authority’s priorities will be those contained in the EHSP as it is
adopted, and as it may be modified following subsequent annual reviews.
GLOSSARY
The following definitions are applicable for the terms used in this Plan.
Area Median Income (AMI) Limits – most communities establish income limits for the
programs they administer based on the area median income (AMI) for the area
according to household size, which are adjusted annually by the Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD). Four different income categories are defined for
various programs and policies:
1. Extremely low-income, which is less than 30 percent of the median family income;
2. Very low-income, which is between 30 and 50 percent of the median family income;
3. Low-income, which is between 50 and 80 percent of the median family income;
4. Middle income, which is between 80 and 120 percent of the median family income;
and
5. Above middle income, which is over 120 percent of the median family income.

Catch-Up Housing – Housing needed to “catch-up” to current deficient housing
conditions. In this Plan, catch-up housing needs are defined by current resident
households reporting housing problems (overcrowded, cost-burdened and/or living in
substandard housing conditions), current renters and owners looking to purchase a
home and in-commuters that would like to move to Vail. Catch-up housing is generally
addressed through local city development initiatives, non-profits and housing groups
and public/private partnerships.
11/20/2012
25 Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
Inclusionary Zoning – requires a minimum percentage of residential development be
provided to serve local employees as part of new residential developments (10 percent
in Vail). Inclusionary zoning is a housing production obligation based on the
community’s need for employee housing as related to many factors, including a
decreasing developable supply of land, rising home values, insufficient provision of
housing affordable to residents by the market, etc., in addition to any direct employee
generation impacts of development.
Keep-Up Housing – Housing units needed to keep-up with future demand for housing.
In this Plan, keep-up housing needs focuses on new housing units needed as a result of
job growth in Vail and new employees filling those jobs. Keep-up housing is often
addressed by the existing free-market, as well as regulatory requirements or incentives
to produce housing that is needed and priced below the current market.
Levels of Homeownership – When discussing affordability of properties by Area
Median Income (AMI) level (defined above) and the types of homes households among
different AMI groups are seeking; reference is made to a couple different stages of
homeownership. This includes:
1. Entry-level ownership/first-time homebuyers: These are households typically
earning in the lower to middle income range. In Vail, these are households
earning 50 to 100 percent of the AMI. These include households that currently
rent (or otherwise do not own a home) and are looking to purchase their first
home.
2. Move-up buyers: These are households earning in the middle to upper income
range (about 100 to 120 percent AMI or higher) that may currently own a home
and are looking to purchase a new or different home for a variety of reasons
(relocating, growing family (e.g., having children), shrinking family (e.g., empty-
nesters), etc.).
Mean – the average of a group of numbers, which is the sum of all the data values
divided by the number of items.
Median – the middle point in a data set.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
MEETING DATE: November 20, 2012
ITEM/TOPIC: Lionshead Parking Structure Entry Improvements Design Contract Award
PRESENTER(S): Tom Kassmel
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Award Design Contract
BACKGROUND: The Town of Vail, thru the Vail Reinvestment Authority, has budgeted for
capital improvements at the Lionshead Village parking structure entry in 2013 and 2014. The

I. BACKGROUND
The Town of Vail, thru the Vail Reinvestment Authority, has budgeted for capital
improvements at the Lionshead Village parking structure entry in 2013 and 2014. The
Lionshead Village parking structure is in need of an improved entry to enhance
operations, efficiency, safety, aesthetics and provide a level of guest service expected

vehicle parking, and the future potential parking expansion and other community uses
such as a recycle drop-off center. A key element to a successful project will be a
solution to the above stated uses all working together efficiently to handle the peak
traffic demands in a context sensitive aesthetically pleasing design that provides a level
of guest service expected in Vail. Other key elements include the traffic flows at the
intersection of the South Frontage Road and the reassessment of a roundabout at this
access intersection.
Currently the Town has budget $200,000 in 2013 for design and $1,000,000 in 2014 for
construction.
II. DESIGN CONTRACT APPROVAL
Town staff solicited proposals for the completion of preliminary design and entitlements
for this project on October 16th and received two proposals from the design teams of
Zehren and Associates and Huitt Zollars. The proposals were broken down into three
Tasks for preliminary design; Conceptual, Schematic and Design Development. Total
proposed costs for these three Tasks by each design team were proposed as follows;
Zehren and Associates $166,150 (+ 5% Reimbursable $8307)

The Lionshead Parking Structure
Entry Improvements
October 16th, 2012
Introduction
The Town of Vail, Colorado is seeking proposals for professional services from qualified teams of Urban
Design, Parking Structure & Transportation Engineering design services to complete the design for an
Improved Lionshead Parking Structure Entry. The study will address all aspects of the design including
conceptual, schematic, design development, and receiving entitlements from the Town of Vail’s DRB,
PEC, Town Council.
Scope of Services (Overview)
The Town is soliciting proposals from a team interested in preparing design concepts, schematic design,
and design development plans for the project with the option of completing the final design and
construction administration. The Town is seeking a qualified team of Parking Structure/traffic engineers,
urban designers/architects, and civil/structural engineers with the ability to perform comprehensive design
and analysis, provide creative design solutions, work effectively with the Town staff, citizen boards and
the public, and to prepare effective documents for the Town of Vail to use to obtain necessary entitlement
approvals. Upon approval a proposal from the successful design team may be requested for Final Design,
Construction Documents and Construction Administration.
Teams who have extensive knowledge and design experience with context sensitive design solutions
within a resort environment, and parking structure design and analysis will be given preference. Teams
11/20/2012
are encouraged to submit examples of successful projects that they have implemented that have similar
challenges, solutions and necessary coordination.
The Town of Vail owns and operates two public parking structures, one in the Vail Village and one in
Lionshead Village. The Lionshead Village parking structure is in need of an improved entry to enhance
operations, efficiency, safety, aesthetics and provide a level of guest service expected at a world class
resort. This design project will address all aspects of the design of a new Lionshead parking structure
entry, as well as alternative solutions that may achieve the same goal. The study shall assess facility
needs, all project site uses, including the existing access point(s), gated and non-gated entries and exits,
oversized vehicle parking, and in the future potential parking expansion and other community uses such
as a recycle drop-off center. A key element to a successful design will be a solution to the stated uses all
working together efficiently to handle the peak demands in a context sensitive aesthetically pleasing
design that provides a level of guest service expected at a world class resort. Other key elements include
the traffic flows at the intersection of the South Frontage Road and the reassessment of a roundabout at
this access intersection.
The general scope of work shall include the following phases and key elements:

therefore the preferred design may have to accommodate the space requirements for it in the
future.
2. Assess environmental and land acquisition impacts of each plan.
3. Provide an operational overview and analysis of various ways to efficiently and environmentally
provide adequate snowmelt systems if required.
4. Assess compatibility with Lionshead Parking structure and the future redevelopment of the
Lionshead Parking Structure, assuming a fourth level may be added at some time in the future.

RE: The Lionshead Parking Structure Entry Improvements Design
Zehren and Associates Response to Request for Proposal
Dear Tom:
Zehren and Associates is very pleased to submit this proposal to provide professional design
services for the Town of Vail’s Lionshead Parking Structure Entry Improvements.
Our firm is proposing to lead a team of consultants that has been formed to address the specific
needs of this project. We are teaming with experts in their respective fields who have pointed
experience with different specialized facets of the project, and in some cases direct experience
with the original parking structure facility or recent additions. Our team consists of the
following consultants, several who have extensive experience working together previously:
• Zehren and Associates, Inc: Urban Design, Architecture, Landscape Architecture
• Carl Walker Inc: Parking Structure and Parking Design Specialist
• Kimley Horn Inc: Traffic Engineering / Roundabout Design and Analysis
• Martin Martin Consulting Engineers: Civil and Structural Engineering
• Beaudin Ganze Consulting Engineers: MEP Design
Collectively we have the specialized expertise and breadth of experience with projects of a
similar nature. Serving as the prime consultant and primary point of contact with the Town,
Zehren and Associates will manage and coordinate the effort of the overall team to accomplish
the scope of work. Our overriding goal will be to guide the team to a solution that is rich in
urban design and aesthetic value, and provides a significant enhancement to the arrival
experience to one of the major portals to the Town of Vail and Vail Mountain.
We will place particular emphasis on context sensitive design that address the unique challenges
and conditions of the resort environment. We have significant experience in the planning and
design in resort environments in the United States and internationally, and most importantly in
‘our backyard’ in Colorado resorts, including within and for the Town of Vail. Our firm and
several of our existing staff authored architectural design guidelines and were some of the
consultants directly responsible the Lionshead Redevelopment Master plan. Likewise we have
worked on several different planning and design efforts that encompass the existing project area,
and thus already have a strong familiarity with the site and its opportunities and constraints.

Lionshead Parking Structure Entry Improvement
Overall Project Approach
The Zehren and Associates approach to this proejct is based upon a thorough review of the Request
for Proposal, a working knowledge of the site itself—including past involvement in previous studies
and master plans of the specific site—and our team’s extensive experience with similar projects in
other resort communities, and specifically the Town of Vail.
We see the primary goals of the project as addressing two very essential objectives; firstly, to provide
safe and functional improved entry to enhance operations, efficiency, safety and secondly, to provide
a level of service and quality expected at world class resort by creating an aesthetically pleasing and
welcoming gateway for residents and visitors accessing Vail Mountain. For many, it will be their first
experience of not only Lionshead Village, but of the Town of Vail and the importance of this first
impression will not be overlooked by our project team.
We are proposing a step-by-step approach that matches the scope of work requested in the RFP,
structured intp three distinct phases of work, including a Conceptual Design, Schematic Design, and
Design Development phase, with associated sub-tasks exactly as defined in the RFP document. We
will balance creativity and technical execution in coordination with the town’s internal processes.
To ensure that the public, as well as the various regulating boards and committees, will have clear
“buy-in” with the ideas, strategies and budgets developed as the project progresses we have outlined
in our schedule tentatively, the sequence for Public Open houses, Town Council, and Planning and
Environmental Commission meetings. We are proposing engaging with the public and these boards
early in the process at the onset of Phase I to help develop the project goals and objectives, and to frame
the overall effort. Then later in the process in Phase II and II we have included worksessions that will
allow the public and the Town boards to revisit the effort and evaluate the preferred direction against
the goals and objectives established early in the process. Our team has significant recent experience
with public process in the Town of Vail and believe this sort of continuity in the engagement with the
public and Town boards will help the flow of work and progress of this project.

Lionshead Parking Structure Entry Design November 8, 2012
Phase I: Conceptual Design
Our first step will be to gain the necessary background information to inform the initial concept
designs to be derived. This will include thoroughly reviewing current documents, meeting with your
team, touring the site with interested stakeholders, and participating in staff and team meetings to gain
the necessary insight and feedback to develop context sensitive design concepts. As part of this task,
it will be necessary to spend time on site to better understand the opportunities and constraints that
the physical setting offers. Our team’s proximity to Vail will help facilitate this critical portion of the
review in an effective and economical manner for the town.
We will conduct a Public Open house early in Phase I and include Town Council and Planning
Commission members to provide input to the development of project goals and objectives. Thereafter
we will establish the primary design criteria for program elements, the overall project budget, and
formulate the overall vision for the design concepts for the Project. We will then develop (6) creative
and resort context sensitive conceptual design alternatives applying the project program and that meet
the set goals, objectives and design criteria. The concepts will be generated using a combination of
hand and computer drawings, and include geometry, grading and landscaping rendered to allow a full
understanding of each concept and distinct differences between each. We will analyze the concepts
against each other and identify pros and cons, and rank each concept against the set design criteria.
At this point in the process we will establish preliminary opinion of probable costs for each concept, to
compare the relative differences in costs between concepts and to inform the selection of a preferred
concept. As a conclusion to Phase I the team will provide a recommendation to the Town on the
preferred concept. A second Public Open house, (1) worksession with the Town Council, and (1)
worksession with PEC are proposed in a deliberate sequence toward the end of Phase I to review the
(6) preliminary concepts, the preferred concept, and to obtain additional input (and hopefully ‘buy-in’)
on the preferred concept.
The deliverables and product of the process in Phase One will be a series of notes and sketches—
including a synopsis of the town and public input—to summarize the overall objectives, the constraints,
and opportunities of the site, alternatives, and initial design concepts. We will then gather this and all
relevant information into a summary report for future meetings.

Lionshead Parking Structure Entry Design November 8, 2012
Phase II: Schematic Design
During the Schematic Design Phase, we will work from the information gathered during the concept
phase to refine the preferred alternative to a level suitable for more detailed feasibility and compatibility
investigations. In doing so, we will analyze the preferred concept in detail relative to the program
design criteria, public comment, and project budget developed to ensure the most cost effective
approach to the project. Specific focus and detailed effort will be devoted in Phase II to technical
aspects of the project including evaulation of the preferred concept for operations, snowmelting,
compatibility with the parking structure redevelopment and expansion, and parking equipment and
systems.
We will develop drawings of the preferred scheme to address these issues, including three-dimensional
massing models, circulation diagrams, photo simulations, summary reports, budget, phasing, and
schedule information necessary to best portray the design to approving bodies. The main purpose of
these presentations is to gain the feedback necessary to refine the preferred concept for final design
approvals.
Phase III: Design Development
During Design Development, we will work with our consultants to further establish and describe the
size and configuration of critical design components while incorporating comment from the previous
phases. We will to complete all documentation necessary for submittal and final approval from the
town’s regulating bodies during this time and make a formal development plan submittal to the Town.
We have identified tentative dates for meetings with the Planning and Environmental Commission
and Town Council that would cascade from the Development Plan submittal in Phase III. As part
of the required meetings and presentations, updated cost and schedule estimates will be provided
along with any required analysis of project phasing. The ultimate goal of this process is to receive
development plan approval in order to enable the project to proceed with construction documents
and implementation in subsequent phases.
At the conclusion of Phase III we will provide a detailed analysis of next steps, including process and
coordination steps to reach project completion of the approved design. We anticipate at this time
to prepare and submit a detailed proposal for construction documents, bid process, and construction
administration and observation through project implementation and completion.

Description of Project Team Experience
Zehren and Associates, Inc: Master Planning and Architecture
Zehren and Associates was founded in 1983 in Avon, Colorado and currently employs 12 people
including five registered architects, landscape architecture, and related support staff in our Avon
and Santa Barbara, California offices. We have over 25 years of experience in the visioning and
place-making for mountain resort communities that began with the creation of Beaver Creek.
We have a long history of helping to create places and architecture that will make Vail a world
class destination. Our direct experience in Lionshead Village, including our involvement with
the Lionshead Master Plan, will allow us to provide you a project that meets your needs for a
safe and functional multi-purpose entry that will enhance operations efficiency and aesthetics
while also providing a pleasant and welcoming pedestrian gateway for visitors and residents into
Lionshead Village that is expected at a world class resort.
Our projects often include coordination of private vehicle traffic, shuttle and oversized vehicle
traffic, pedestrian traffic and skier traffic at mountain resort communities. This experience allows
us to understand the challenges you face and provides the basis for developing well conceived
solutions. We authored the Architectural Guidelines for Lionshead and participated in the overall
master planning for the 1999 Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. Additionally, we provided
urban design studies for the proposed Town Center with Performing Arts and Recreation Centers
linked to the Lionshead Parking Garage. This decade-long master planning and visioning of
Lionshead exhibits our long tradition of creative yet efficient design that respects the attributes of
Lionshead Village and reinforces a common identity for the community. We have also provided
similar services for the Beaver Creek Village; Mount Crested Butte; Telluride Mountain Village;
Stowe, Vermont; Deer Valley in Utah; Island Lake in Canada; Changbaishan Four Season Resort
in China; and Himalayan Ski Village in India.
We are committed to providing each client with a unique design direction that reflects the
community values, local heritage and climate of the area while at the same time understanding
the economic and physical constraints that are embodied within each project. By providing a full
range of services which bridge from master planning – including local, state and governmental
agency approval processes – through architectural design, Zehren’s team of designers can
professionally guide a project from the conceptual design through the “reality” of the construction
process.
We have crafted a team of world class engineers to support our design and planning efforts, each
selected because of their specific expertise within their fields of practice, and their extensive
knowledge and project experience within Vail and other mountain communities. Many of our
project team members have direct experience with the Lionshead Parking Structure and past
projects involving design and improvements to the Lionshead neighborhood.

LOCATION:Vail, ColoradoCLIENT:Town of Vail &Vail Associates, Inc. REFERENCE:George RutherDirector of Community DevelopmentTown of Vail75 S. Frontage RoadVail, CO 81657970.479.2145Zehren and Associates collaborated on the Master Plan and Design Guidelines for the
Lionshead
Redevelopment
project. These revised Master Plan and Guidelines were designed to offer a new “vision” for Lionshead, which had been a victim of nearsighted 70’s development, reflected by precast concrete buildings with little appeal or “personality.” The redevelopment project was designed to offer direction for mitigation of existing buildings, as well as future development within this portion of west Vail.Additionally, Pedro Campos - now with Zehren and Associates, worked extensively on this redevelopment master plan while employed with Design Workshop, including helping to draw and render the illustrative site plan at left.The goal of the project was to revitalize the under-performing Lionshead neighborhood--the western base village for Vail Mountain--into a vibrant destination at the resort. Pedestrian circulation, service access, view corridors, and the dynamics of public plazas and retail frontages were studied in photo and sketch form to create a redevelopment strategy.

The Town of Vail is one of the top resort communities in the world, but while it includes commercial centers, it lacks the civic and social focus of a true com mu ni ty. Zehren and Associates collaborated to master plan and provide “concepting” for a “
Vail
Town Center
” based on learn ing, recreation, and
social in ter ac tion at the crossroads between Vail Vil lage and Lionshead.The new
Vail Civic Center
would provide both residents and guests with world-class activities and facilities in addition to the new town center and a revitalization of Vail’s unique image. The plan was the result of a three-day Community Facilities Charette designed to create a new civic “heart” for the Town of Vail. A new 50,000-SF multi-use space incorporating a full-size sheet of ice, meeting rooms, a ballroom, and a gymnastics facility would provide a central location for many activities and events that are now difficult to hold in Vail. It would also help to balance the seasonal fluctuation of visitors to the resort. Fronting the street along the existing parking structure would be the Vail “X-Stream” Adventure Center. Vail X-Stream is a 3-story, transparent indoor adventure center that includes a flexible BMX, skateboard and in-line skate street course, and a pair of hydraulics for kayak playboating. Climbing walls would be offered along with ample space for observation and outstanding views of Vail Mountain. An important component to the scheme was strengthening the connection between Lionshead and Vail Village. This is accomplished with the addition of a fixed European-style tramway with a defined paving pattern and pedestrian-oriented signage and lighting as reinforcement of the connection.

BEAVER CREEKCOLORADO
Beaver Creek
Village
is a resort community located on 5,000 acres in the heart of the Colorado Rockies.
Described by
Sports Illustrated
as “the last resort- a
first class destination resort to rival the country’s best and biggest: Aspen, Vail, Sun Valley,” Beaver Creek has a capacity for 10,000 skiers, a central village for hotels, retail shops, restaurants, and basic facilities; an 18-hole golf course, a spa and tennis complex, and 3,200 residential units. Beaver Creek is an environmentally-responsive development which required public approvals.
The project has been designed to the upper-level resort market, which demanded strong architectural controls. Village planning and design has virtually eliminated reliance upon automobiles within the pedestrian village in response to air quality and land restrictions.Beaver Creek received the 1991 Snow Country Magazine award for the Best Resort and the 1995 Ski Magazine Silver Eagle for Environmental Design.Reception Center

Zehren and Associates has a long relationship with the town of
Mt. Crested Butte
and the Crested Butte Mountain Resort with regard to master planning and architecture within their base villages. Beginning in the late 1990’s, Zehren authored a master plan and design guidelines for the
South and North Villages
, which have evolved over time through public process and new ownership of the resort. We then continued our master planning efforts for a portion of the South Village -- known as
Mountaineer Square
North
-- with the current owners.
Throughout this process Zehren collaborated with EDAW on master planning, development planning, urban design, and architectural design to reflect the area’s brand promise: “Inspiring your passion for Adventure.” Village plans, conceptual floor plans, character renderings, and three-dimensional computer modeling have been produced to express the “vision” and provide inspriation for the new base village development.The current design for Mountaineer Square North features pedestrian passageways linking multiple plazas to create a dynamic village environment at the pedestrian level. Through the use of scale, materials, and spatial sequences, the visitor will be able to identify with each building but perceive the unified vision, so that each building is recognized as part of the overall master plan.
This “place-making” approach links hotels, condominiums, retail functions, civic buildings, and ski lifts to create a cohesive, self-contained mountain community that fulfills the needs of residents and visitors alike. Mountaineer Square North provides dynamic outdoor spaces with a climbing wall, market, aquatics center, and community events that encourage guests and residents to explore and discover the base village long after the lifts have closed for the day, or the season.

Riverfront Village
is located near the base of Beaver Creek Mountain in Avon, Colorado. The site is connected to Beaver Creek with a high-speed gondola, and to Avon's western Town Center via two surface railroad crossings for pedestrians and/or automobiles.The Village is envisioned as a lively gathering place, where visitors and locals alike want to spend time.
Skiers and snowboarders ride the gondola up the mountain and families bike and play along the Eagle River. The village resort helps make Avon a hub of activity both during winter and summer. The village also creates connections between Avon, Beaver Creek Mountain, and the riverfront.The site also features the Westin Riverfront Resort and Spa Hotel, with a retail plaza as the resort core, surrounded by resort condominiums and vacation-ownership residences. Zehren and Associates also designed the whole ownership Riverfront Lodge, which has not yet begun construction.LOCATION:Avon, ColoradoCLIENT:East-West PartnersP.O.

Zehren and Associates worked with the Town of Avon on designing improvements to the
East End
Mall.
The site includes the location of the former transit center, which was relocated slightly to the west as well as existing landscaping and pedestrian pathways.The mission for this project was to create an enhanced connection between the the new Transit Center/Riverfront Gondola, Avon Road, and the pedestrian mall to the Municipal Center and Nottingham Park. The previous pathway was realigned and the old bus turnaround re claimed as a combination plaza and events lawn (Area 3). Additionally, landscape improvements and new pavers replaced the old asphalt pedestrian connection to the new Transit Center to enhance the guest experience (Area 1). Landscaping was redesigned and pathways realigned along the pedestrian way to the northeast side of Lot 61 to improve pedestrian flow (Area 2). Also in this area, existing restaurant terraces were expanded to create a better connection to the mall. LOCATION:Avon, ColoradoCLIENT:Town of AvonP.O.

Zehren and Associates Inc. was contacted by the new owners of a renown
Ski Resort in the Sierra
Nevada
to engage in a design competition to provide preliminary master planning and resort visioning for a new renaissance at the resort. As of this date the project has not been made public, requiring that the name and location be kept confidential.Zehren’s approach to the extensive project was to provide a resort in harmony with nature and with a strong mix of year-round activities and recreation. One of the primary goals included the creation of a stronger sense of arrival and the development of more clear and convenient circulation systems... including pedestrian, auto, and transit. The approach to the overall site was to break down the project into four distinct areas, focusing on specific target densities and branding for a mix of guests and experiences: a lively “Snow Front” Village with boutique hotels and increased opportunities for night life; a “Family-Friendly” Village focused on activities for all ages; a “Creekside” Residential area with a day-skier parking structure; and the “Confluence” area focused on quiet adult relaxation, including a new world-class spa.The “Snow Front” Village aimed at creating a new energy and cohesiveness to a village core that had been allowed to grow haphazardly over the years without a true sense of place. The Master Plan created a “main street” that provides a direct pedestrian-scaled access from the transit center to the slopes, lined with shops and restaurants and anchored by an iconographic tower to help orient guests. A boutique hotel and a residence club with direct ski in/out access were also proposed as well as a snow sports academy for aspiring racers and freestyle skiers and snowboarders. Updated architecture and a snowfront “beach” provide a modern and cohesive frontage to the ski slopes and help define the village as the heart of both on mountain and après ski activities.LOCATION:Sierra Nevada, CaliforniaCLIENT:Witheld Upon RequestSIERRA NEVADA SKI RESORTCALIFORNIA

The
Eagle Base Village at Mammoth
is located at the southeastern end of the ski resort and provides direct access to the ski slopes via the Eagle Lift for 4,000 skiers a day with that number anticipated to grow to 6,000. Currently the village consists of two sprung tent structures. Zehren and Associates provided master planning for a permanent improvement to this important skier portal.Zehren and Associates plan includes realignment of the existing Meridian Boulevard to ease traffic flowand provide a visual connection to the new base lodge, and existing ski lift and runs. Improvements to skier drop-off and both shuttle and local town bus systems are also included in the plan to help realize this area’s potential as a gateway to Mammoth’s eastern terrain.The new master plan and development also includes the 40,000 square foot Eagle Day Lodge which consists of two restaurants, lift ticket office, ski rental, snow sports school, children’s ski school and day care, retail, and a coffeeshop directly overlooking the lift. Adjacent to the building is proposed a new ice rink and a 19,000 square foot ski club with private members lounge and ski locker facilities. Additionally, a 100+ room hotel/condo building with underground day skier garage is being proposed on the site of a current surface parking lot.LOCATION:Mammoth MountainMammoth Lakes, CaliforniaCLIENT:Mammoth Mountain Ski AreaPO Box 241 Minaret RoadMammoth Lakes, California 93546760.934.0740REFERENCES:Jim Smith

A valuable service that Zehren and Associates provides for development planning and concepting is the establishment of a design "vision" and its supporting Design Guidelines
. A crucial instrument in achieving and maintaining the goals of a project’s master plan or core area plan, Design Guidelines are documents that set forth a theme that governs the site, landscape, and architectural design of a city center, resort, village, or core area.The purpose of Design Guidelines is to maintain a pleasant and desirable environment, protect and promote property value, and to establish and preserve harmonious design within a development. The Design Guidelines will generally provide direction for the essential design issues including scale, form and massing, building siting and setbacks, building signage, lighting, colors and materials, as well as site and landscape design. This discussion is presented in the form of detailed description supported by example sketches and diagrams. Whether dealing with a new resort community or a mixed-use village redevelopment, Zehren and Associates strives to establish Design Guidelines that will ensure that building and development are approached in a way that respect the intent of the master plan and promote the "identity" of the overall project.Resorts, villages, and developments where Zehren has authored the Design Guidelines include:

Kimley-Horn Associates, Inc. – Relevant Experience
Lionshead Transit Center, Vail, CO
Kimley-Horn prepared a traffic impact study for the Town of Vail for the Lionshead Transit Center
project. The analysis included an evaluation of the access to and from the Lionshead Parking
Structure as well as the South Frontage Road/East Lionshead Circle intersection, which would be
impacted by the development of a transit center onsite. The existing transit drop off and pick up
along East Lionshead Circle was also evaluated. The study included a preliminary roundabout
design at the South Frontage Road/East Lionshead Circle intersection.
Lionshead Parking Structure Redevelopment, Vail, Colorado
Kimley-Horn prepared a traffic impact study to assess project impacts of the redevelopment of
the Lionshead Parking Structure in Vail, Colorado. The redevelopment project was proposed to
include two (2) hotels with a total of 240 rooms, 155 condominium units, approximately 90,000
square feet of retail space, and a 35,000 square foot community center. In addition, public skier
drop-off, buses, and delivery vehicles would be accommodated below grade as part of the
parking structure improvements.The analysis included a future roundabout at the intersection of
East Lionshead Circle with South Frontage Road, as well as a grade separated left turn lane for
vehicles entering the parking structure from South Frontage Road at the eastern parking
structure entrance. Geometric designs of the future Frontage Road were prepared that included
the East Lionshead Circle roundabout and access for the project. Auxiliary turn lane
recommendations were provided for the access driveways and intersections along South Frontage
Road in accordance with the CDOT State Highway Access Code.
Lionshead Village Redevelopment (Arrabelle at Vail Square), Vail, Colorado
Working with Vail Resorts Development Company, Kimley-Horn prepared a master level traffic
impact study based upon the redevelopment of the core area within Lionshead Village. The
South Frontage Road intersections of Lionshead Parking Structure, West Lionshead Circle (east
and west portals), and Forest Road were evaluated with the project. The traffic study included
analysis of the redevelopment areas of West Day Lot, Core Area, Tennis Court Site, and North
Day Lot. Transit issues relating to the area and development of an overall transit inter-modal
center were studied for feasibility and impacts. Pedestrian safety issues and concerns were
examined so that improvements at locations of heavy pedestrian-vehicle conflict were
recommended. Commercial truck deliveries were also evaluated to determine the demand for an
on-site loading and delivery area. The surrounding street network and intersection improvement
requirements were identified based upon the projected traffic demands from the skier-services
core retail area and hotel expansion projects. The overall project study also included a
conference center and residential component.
Ever Vail, Vail, Colorado
A traffic impact study was prepared by Kimley-Horn to assess project impacts of a redevelopment
within the West Lionshead Village area including the Holy Cross/Maintenance site and the future
realignment of South Frontage Road adjacent to the project site. This study included an
evaluation of the future South Frontage Road intersections with West Lionshead Circle (east and
west portals) and the future roundabout at the Forest Road and South Frontage Road
intersection, as well as project access locations. Transit center analysis and circulation was
evaluated with recommendations developed. Geometric designs and analysis of the propsoed
two-lane Simba Run roundabout and East Ever Vail roundabout was conducted. Auxiliary turn
lane recommendations were provided in accordance with the CDOT State Highway Access Code
for F-R Frontage Road category highways.

Vail Dynamic Message Sign Masterplan and Design, Vail, CO
Kimley-Horn was selected by the Town of Vail to conduct the Dynamic Message Sign (DMS)
masterplan and design. This project includes recommending locations for new DMS to be
installed throughout the Town to inform the public of parking locations and incidents. In addition,
the project includes an identification of the recommended sign, technology, and aesthetics.
North Day Lot Redevelopment, Vail, Colorado
Kimley-Horn prepared a traffic impact study to assess project impacts of a redevelopment of the
North Day Lot site located along the south side of South Frontage Road, just east of the eastern
West Lionshead Circle intersection in Vail, Colorado. Redevelopment of this site included the
possible future location of a transit center for the Town of Vail. Kimley-Horn worked closely with
Vail Resorts’ and Town of Vail staff to develop various alternatives for on-site circulation of the
transit center, employee housing, and hotel on the site.
Timber Ridge, Vail, Colorado
A traffic impact study was prepared for the Town of Vail by Kimley-Horn to assess project
impacts of additional employee housing as part of the Timber Ridge redevelopment. This study
included an evaluation of the North Frontage Road access intersection. The transit stop was
evaluated as part of the project to determine the number of employees using the In Town
Shuttle. In addition, turn lane improvements were identified for the access intersection based on
the State of Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) State Highway Access Code.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences at Vail, Vail, Colorado
Kimley-Horn prepared a traffic impact study for the Ritz-Carlton Residences at Vail project to be
developed on the West Day Lot site. The traffic study included an impact assessment of the 107
unit condominium/townhouse project, along with relocation of the existing parking to the Holy
Cross Site. The intersections of the Frontage Road with West Lionshead Circle (east and west
portals) were evaluated within the study.
Lodge at Vail Village, Vail, Colorado
Kimley-Horn evaluated traffic demands related to the proposed expansion project of Vail Resorts’
Lodge in Vail. This study was conducted as a portion of the environmental impact report (EIR)
that Vail Resorts produced. In addition to evaluating expansion-generated demand, the team
evaluated traffic impacts based upon parking configuration changes and a parking structure
addition. Specifically, the roadway segments of Vail Valley Drive and Hanson Ranch Road, along
with an analysis of the Vail Valley Drive/East Meadow Drive intersection were evaluated. Existing
truck delivery demands were observed within the pedestrian-contained area of Gore Creek Drive
to determine a design number of bays / spaces for a truck-loading area at the Lodge to serve
both the Lodge and the surrounding area.
Lion Square Lodge North, Vail, Colorado
A traffic impact study was prepared by Kimley-Horn to assess project impacts of the Lion Square
Lodge expansion. This study included an evaluation of the South Frontage Road intersections
with West Lionshead Circle (east and west portals). In addition, sight distance requirements for
an access to be located along Lionshead Place were identified.

Proposed Schedule
The Zehren team proposes the following schedule for the effort, assuming a start date of
January 1, 2013.
Phase I Concept Design
(approx 8 week duration, January 1 through March 1, 2013).
Phase II Schematic Design
( approx 8 week duration, March 4 – April 26, 2013).
Phase III Design Development
(approx 8 week duration, April 29 – June 28, 2013).
The overall schedule per the above is roughly a duration of (6) months. The schedule can
be accelerated if the Town prefers. Given the PEC and Town Council review and meetings
requirements, it is our experience that it will take at least 2 months / (60 days) to schedule
PEC and Town Council meetings in Phase III and respond to comments and input from both
Boards. As such, while it is possible that Phase III can be completed by the proposed date,
it is also possible that Phase III may extend beyond the proposed date. Additional effort
resulting from Phase III meetings will be tracked separately as additional services if it causes
revisiting and significant changes to the preferred concept as selected and refined in Phases
I and II.
Schedule for Meetings:
1. (8) Staff meetings:
Phase I: (3) meetings
Phase II: (2) meetings
Phase III: (3) meetings
*the specific dates for these meetings are to be determined and scheduled in
coordination with Town staff at the time of contract and schedule finalization.
It is anticipated these meetings will occur every 2 to 3 weeks.

Special Considerations
The Zehren and Associates team proposal response is based exactly upon the Phases of work
and tasks described in the Town’s RFP document, including Conceptual Design, Schematic
Design, and Design Development. We have been conservative in our fee estimates due to the
unknowns of the preferred design solution, its full extent and layout, relationship and location
of program elements, impact on adjacent properties, and overall level of complexity.
A suggestion for the Town’s consideration is to scale back the initial effort to include Phases
I and II and to defer Phase III until completion of the first two Phases. Upon conclusion of
Phase II and based on a refined schematic design of the preferred concept the project would
be ready for design development with a greater level of definition than exists today. At that
time it may be more appropriate and efficient to negotiatite a specific fee proposal for Phase
III Design Development (and subsequent phases) with the Consultant team.
We believe the Town may benefit from bifurcating Conceptual and Schematic Design from
Design Development and Construction Documents in the manner described above. It will
allow a more in depth understanding of the complexity of the project before entering into
Design Development, and we believe each consultant will be able to deliver a more pointed
scope of work (and fees) for the Design Development and Construction Documents phase of
the project, matched to the preferred concept design.

TOWN OF VAIL
LIONSHEAD PARKING STRUCTURE ENTRY IMPROVEMENTS DESIGN
TRAFFIC ENGINEERING APPROACH AND SCOPE
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) will provide a traffic engineering analysis of the Lionshead
Parking Structure Access along South Frontage Road. This intersection will be assigned future 2025 traffic
volumes as obtained from the Lionshead Master Plan and Vail Transportation Master Plan documents.
Additional Saturday peak season morning and afternoon peak hour traffic volume counts will be collected at
the intersection if necessary. The traffic analysis will be prepared per Town of Vail standards and
requirements.
The traffic counts and analysis will determine the extent of improvements needed at the Lionshead Parking
Structure access along South Frontage Road to successfully accommodate existing and future projected
traffic volumes. This analysis will include an evaluation of oversized vehicle parking and the future potential
parking expansion. Based on the analysis, Kimley-Horn will identify possible improvements. These possible
improvements will be developed into design concepts by the project team. Design concepts will likely
include additional turn lanes, specifically a westbound left turn deceleration lane, an eastbound right turn
deceleration lane, and an eastbound right turn acceleration lane. In addition, possible roundabout control
and grade separation may also be considered and evaluated. Also, the Transportation Master Plan shows
that this segment of South Frontage Road is recommended to be a four-lane section in the future. Based on
these proposed lanes, an operational analysis will be conducted to determine the appropriate lanes and
control (stop control, roundabout, or grade separation).
The design concepts developed will be evaluated for traffic operations to include parking gate operations,
queue lengths, conflict points, and levels of service for the movements and the overall intersection. Using
results from the traffic analysis, the preferred design concept will be recommended to the Town. A draft
traffic report will be prepared outlining the analysis procedure, methodology, the design concepts
evaluated, the traffic operational analysis of the each design concept, and the recommended improvement
alternative. This draft will be submitted for review and comments. The draft report will be revised as
appropriate and prepared final for the Town of Vail.

TOWN OF VAIL
LIONSHEAD PARKING STRUCTURE ENTRY IMPROVEMENTS DESIGN
TRAFFIC ENGINEERING APPROACH AND SCOPE
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) will provide a traffic engineering analysis of the Lionshead
Parking Structure Access along South Frontage Road. This intersection will be assigned future 2025 traffic
volumes as obtained from the Lionshead Master Plan and Vail Transportation Master Plan documents.
Additional Saturday peak season morning and afternoon peak hour traffic volume counts will be collected at
the intersection if necessary. The traffic analysis will be prepared per Town of Vail standards and
requirements.
The traffic counts and analysis will determine the extent of improvements needed at the Lionshead Parking
Structure access along South Frontage Road to successfully accommodate existing and future projected
traffic volumes. This analysis will include an evaluation of oversized vehicle parking and the future potential
parking expansion. Based on the analysis, Kimley-Horn will identify possible improvements. These possible
improvements will be developed into design concepts by the project team. Design concepts will likely
include additional turn lanes, specifically a westbound left turn deceleration lane, an eastbound right turn
deceleration lane, and an eastbound right turn acceleration lane. In addition, possible roundabout control
and grade separation may also be considered and evaluated. Also, the Transportation Master Plan shows
that this segment of South Frontage Road is recommended to be a four-lane section in the future. Based on
these proposed lanes, an operational analysis will be conducted to determine the appropriate lanes and
control (stop control, roundabout, or grade separation).
The design concepts developed will be evaluated for traffic operations to include parking gate operations,
queue lengths, conflict points, and levels of service for the movements and the overall intersection. Using
results from the traffic analysis, the preferred design concept will be recommended to the Town. A draft
traffic report will be prepared outlining the analysis procedure, methodology, the design concepts
evaluated, the traffic operational analysis of the each design concept, and the recommended improvement
alternative. This draft will be submitted for review and comments. The draft report will be revised as
appropriate and prepared final for the Town of Vail.

Lionshead Parking Structure Entry Improvements
Three-Facet Approach
A. Project Approach
Project Understanding
The Lionshead Parking Structure is one of two parking garages that serve the world-renowned ski resort in Vail, Colorado. It is
a four-level garage with two levels below grade. Entry gates control the flow of traffic into the structure on the east end. The
entry plaza where these gates are situated is just off the south frontage road of Interstate Highway 70. It is our understanding
that the entrance to the garage significantly restricts traffic flow affecting the efficient functionality of parking. Also, this garage
does not have adequate capacity to serve the vehicular traffic on high attendance ski days in the winter as well as several days
during the summer months.
The Town’s goal is to improve the entrance plaza to the parking structure to alleviate constricted traffic flows, thus improving the
efficiency of the structure as well as providing a safe area for vehicular and pedestrian traffic that share the space. The end
result will be an entrance plaza that is aesthetically pleasing and provides exemplary service to the patrons of the resort. As
part of the project, the intersection of the entrance plaza and the south frontage road will be analyzed and potential
improvements identified to enhance the serviceability of the new entrance plaza. This intersection will be assigned future 2025
traffic volumes as obtained from the Lionshead Master Plan and Vail Transportation Master Plan documents. Additional peak
hour traffic volume counts will be collected as necessary.
Huitt-Zollars has hand-picked a team for your project with the right qualifications uniquely matched to your project requirements.
Several of the team members have previously worked together to produce quality construction documents on similar projects
and in the Vail area. Our team members are highlighted in Section D.
The Huitt-Zollars team brings a three-faceted approach to achieving the project goals. Our team’s local expertise will enable us
to address all aspects of the project in a thorough and efficient manner. One facet of the team, the parking structure/traffic
engineers, will assess the existing
parking facility and entrance structures as
well as the traffic patterns to establish the
specific areas that need to be adjusted.
The urban designers/architects and
entitlement facilitators will address the
aesthetics as well as the levels of service
that will be required to achieve the
optimum balance of vehicular and
pedestrian travel routes ensuring high-
end service to the end users. This group
will manage the coordination with the
Town Staff, the various Town Boards,
and the Town Council to ensure full
stakeholder concurrence. The civil
/structural engineers will address the
drainage issues with the proposed
designs, handling both the grading of the
site and the interaction with the existing
structure to ensure the constructability of
the desired result.
Since this is a world-class resort environment, context-sensitive design solutions will be at the forefront of each
facet’s thoughts as they move through the conceptual design phase. The graphic outlines how this approach will work to
achieve the project goals.

Unique Challenges
The distinctive features of this ski resort that make it a world-wide destination also contribute to the unique challenges our
design team will face in achieving the project goals. The natural topography, rivers, and man-made improvements all add to the
aesthetic beauty of the region and must be preserved during construction.
The resort buildings and support structures for the ski runs on the north side of the mountain are situated on either side of Gore
Creek that follows the I-70 route. Therefore, there is very limited space to build new or expand existing amenities. The resort is
bordered on one side by the highway and on the other by the river, truly limiting the space required for adequate support
facilities. Due to the constricted site, the options for ideal traffic movement become limited, affecting both the entrance plaza
area and the intersection with the frontage road.
Also, construction traffic and activities will seriously impact day-to-day traffic in and out of the facility. Design implementation will
be a contributing factor in the new arrangement of the entrance and the connection of the entry plaza to the frontage road
intersection. Our traffic engineers will rework this area to allow for construction and operations to coexist as much as
possible, minimizing the impact to both vehicles and pedestrians throughout the construction process.
Another challenge that we face is working with an existing structure. The structure is approximately 40 years old and is in
relatively good shape (according to a structural assessment that was completed in 2004). In order to expand the entrance to
improve traffic flow and capacity to handle peak activity, the existing structure will need to be modified and this is always a
challenge. We will need to determine how to implement the new designs into the existing structure without affecting its capacity
to support traffic but also assess what can be done to increase its capacity for oversized vehicles and additional parking
expansion either now or in the future. The requirement to handle snow removal as well as upgrading the mechanical snow-melt
system will also impact this portion of our conceptual design process.
Project Approach
Responsibilities of Key Individuals: Project Manager, Wendy Amann, PE and Principal-In-Charge, Kim Kemper, will be
responsible for cost, quality, and schedule control. Amann will be primarily responsible for controlling the day-to-day aspects of
the project; and Kemper will be primarily responsible for ensuring the company’s resources are fully available to the project, that
all company policies and procedures are followed, and that the Town management is thoroughly satisfied with the services
provided.
Amann’s responsibilities include identifying those agencies with an interest in this project, meeting with them early in the
project’s timeline to identify their concerns, and to keep all affected agencies in the communications loop throughout the
duration of the project. Records will be kept of meetings, written and electronic correspondence, and verbal communications
(telephone or face-to-face) in order to document issues, concerns, and decisions. Effective coordination with all affected
stakeholders is crucial to a successful outcome.
Communication Plan: Our management approach includes regularly scheduled progress meetings that document action items
and track project issues and resolutions, as well as provide up-to-date information on schedules, budgets, and construction
costs. All team members are involved in these meetings, either by their presence, or by notification and distribution of meeting
minutes. This provides the same basis of information to everyone involved.
We believe that the key to client satisfaction is providing a clear understanding of expectations and to provide flexibility in
meeting these expectations should conditions change. The expectations for a project are best laid out in a detailed Project
Work Plan. Huitt-Zollars’ Project Managers receive formal in-house training on Project Work Plan development. Our Project
Work Plans are a mandatory component that each Project Manager must develop as part of our standard project start-up
procedures. Our Project Work Plans form the basis for guiding the Project Manager and the entire project team through
successful project completion.

Our Project Work Plan consists of the following documents:
Agreement for professional consulting services
Scope of work
Organization chart
Task assignment list
Schedule
List of deliverables
Design criteria
Detailed manpower work plan (spreadsheet man-
hour summary by task/by person/by week)
Man-hour and fee summary
We intend to utilize the work tasks outlined in the Town’s Request for Proposal document as the basis for our Project Work
Plan. Our organization chart is enclosed with this proposal (Section D). An initial work task list is incorporated in our project
schedule (a preliminary copy is included in Section F of this proposal). We will prepare a summary of the design criteria to be
presented at the initial project meeting. Our work-hour and fee summary will be prepared during contract negotiations, and our
Detailed Manpower Work Plan will be prepared following conclusion of contract negotiations.
Our Work Plan is distributed to each project participant, including prime, subconsultants, client, and other agency project
participants at the initial project meeting. Huitt-Zollars places a strong emphasis on a continual interface with the Town’s Project
Manager and other affected entities in order to fully understand and respond to the project requirements. These Work Plan
documents identify who will perform the work, the technical work to be performed, the criteria to be adhered to, the timeline and
sequence of work for completion (including identification of interim milestone submittals), products to be submitted, the budget
to complete the work, and the work effort required of each project participant for each week of the project duration.
Critical Issues: The successful resolution of critical items that arise during the course of a project is dependent upon: early
identification; early involvement of decision-makers; and collaborative problem-solving. Huitt-Zollars’ management approach
results in identification of issues before they become problems – thus facilitating prompt solutions that minimize impacts to the
project schedule or budget.
Recognition of and proactive planning to address critical items that may be encountered is a critical component of a successful
project. Combining our project experience and expertise with that of the Town of Vail staff, we will identify these issues and
strategize a means to control these concerns. At this time, we believe the following outlines a few critical issues we face on this
project.
Traffic Functionality
•Increase traffic flow in/out of garage
•Goal: design for peak times, minimizing overflow parking
PEC and Town Council Coordination
•Goal – facilitate town board approvals
Access
Improve intersection at frontage road
•Goal – develop design to enhance traffic flow
•Goal – develop design to minimize disruption

Project Control: The project manager, Wendy Amann, PE will be responsible for maintaining project cost, schedule, and
quality control. Our cost and schedule control procedures begin with the notice-to-proceed and continue throughout all phases
of the work. Cost control will be maintained for both the service provided by our team and for the proposed construction
activities. Design cost and schedule will be controlled with constant monitoring of our budget and schedule status versus design
progress as outlined below. With each month’s invoice, you will receive a spreadsheet breakdown of cumulative work task
budget expended versus percent complete and a comparison of actual versus scheduled activities. These can be as simple or
as detailed as needed, and as agreed to in cooperation with the Town’s Project Manager.
Design Cost Control: We manage design costs with our in-house accounting system. Each project is initiated with a Project
Entry Form including budgeted hours and costs for each phase and task. Timesheets, expense reports, and subconsultant
invoices are submitted and approved by the project and office managers weekly. The Project Manager receives a detailed
work-in-progress report with actual hours and costs to date for each phase and task. The Town will receive monthly detailed
invoices and progress reports. Huitt-Zollars’ system requires the Project Manager to enter a percent of actual completion that
month and this is compared to the percent spent.
Schedule Control: Microsoft Project will be used to set up and monitor the progress of the project. Schedules and critical path
items will be established during scoping. A project baseline schedule will be prepared to compare the actual progress with the
planned progress. Monthly updates will be provided to the Town’s Project Manager as the project progresses to track the status
of critical path items as they relate to the proposed completion date. If activities lag behind schedule or lose momentum, Amann
will work with team members to develop an action plan to restore schedule performance. Monthly progress reports will include
an issue resolution matrix, defining issues that need clarification, their status, and the responsible party.
Quality Control: At Huitt-Zollars, our philosophy on quality is simple – our clients establish the expectation of quality and are
the final authority as to how we meet their quality expectations.
We meet the expectations of our Clients while working on obtaining continuous improvement. Our intent is to ensure that our
services provide added value to the Town. We begin with the assignment of an experienced Project Manager and qualified
design team. Then, we will prepare a Project Specific Quality Management Plan. This plan will serve as the “roadmap” for our
quality process throughout the life of this project. We will work directly with the Town to establish the framework for our Quality
Management Plan, ensuring that we capture your expectations for quality prior to issuing the plan to our team. The plan will
include any Town Boards or agency/CDOT procedures that are applicable. We develop a detailed project schedule, as noted
above, with the critical path tasks clearly identified. This schedule not only includes “deliverables tasks”, but it also shows
specific times for our Quality Control reviews. These reviews include both internal reviews by the project team, as well as interim
reviews by the Town and other agencies.
We solicit Client feedback in an effort to help us improve our project delivery. This feedback is invaluable to us in helping to
ensure that our quality program is one that is continuously improving. Ultimately it will be the Town who will determine if we
have provided quality services.

210 St. Paul Addition – Denver, CO
Huitt-Zollars provided the structural engineering for a 30,000 square foot addition to
an existing two-story, mixed-use building in the Cherry Creek area of Denver. The
first phase of the project entailed reinforcing the existing second level structure and
main level columns to support the future additions. The second phase of the project
consisted of analyzing an existing parking garage and adding residential units to the
upper level adjacent to the existing building. The upper level of the enhanced parking
garage will serve as the platform for additional levels of residential units that will be
built in a future phase.
The new upper garage structure consists of steel post and composite beam
construction, utilizing steel moment frames in the structure’s short direction and concentric braced frames in the long direction.
The final phase of the project will be a three to four story addition over the main building providing roof top decks, a central
atrium, and 12 penthouse residential units.
RTD Table Mesa Pedestrian Bridge over US 36 – Boulder, CO
Huitt-Zollars provided design services for a pedestrian bridge over
US36 to develop passenger access from the existing parking
structure to a bus pullout adjacent to the eastbound on-ramp from
Table Mesa Drive to US36. As part of this project, vertical
circulation, in the form of elevators and stairs, was proposed at both
the northern parking structure and the southern Denver-bound bus
transfer plaza sides. Direct connectivity to the existing parking
structure required the modifications and retrofit to the existing
parking garage.
Work on the existing garage included the removal of the concrete wash at the edge of the concrete slabs in order to provide
ADA compliant access ways; the removal, modification and reuse of the precast spandrel panels; the removal of the existing
emergency egress stairs, as well as general drainage improvements to direct flows away from this access way. A new bus
loading area is provided along the Denver-bound US36 on-ramp, with a pedestrian plaza connection. Due to development in a
floodplain as well as adjacent drainage and irrigation channels, much of the plaza required structural design in order to reduce
the footprint and increase drainage.
The scope of services included field surveys, geotechnical investigation, preliminary and final design, and preparation of
construction documents. Concept design, drainage and structure selection reports were prepared. Coordination with CDOT, the
City of Boulder, Boulder County, and the University of Colorado was required.
City and County of Denver California Streetscapes – Denver, CO
Huitt-Zollars prepared concept plans for the California Streetscapes that were initially prepared by an independent consultant to
the City and County of Denver (CCD). In order to facilitate the agency review process and prepare construction documents to
CCD standards, CCD requested Huitt-Zollars perform the urban design services of the independent consultant, and provide
project management, administration, civil engineering and plan production to prepare permit and contract plans, specifications
and estimate (PS&E) documents under an on-call arrangement. Tasks included stakeholder management, reconciliation of the
existing concept to revised project limits and as-surveyed field conditions, preparation of demolition, grading and drainage,
signing and striping, and site plans. Of particular note, the grading and drainage design was developed in coordination with
CCD development review staff in order to accommodate present conditions as well as planned improvements.

arrangement also provides a single focus for the project, resulting in smoother progression, efficient designs that balance
function, economics, and aesthetics, and construction documents that incorporate their client’s objectives. Huitt-Zollars can take
a project from start to finish, from initial study through the design process to construction management.
Huitt-Zollars is an employee-owned firm. Therefore, each employee has a vested interest in the quality of their work and in how
their work is accepted or perceived. As stated in the firm mission statement:
“We are people committed to understanding and meeting the needs of our clients with quality and integrity.”
Guided by this philosophy, Huitt-Zollars utilizes an established blend of checks and procedures to maintain client satisfaction in
our day-to-day practice. All projects begin with “hands-on” direction by principals of the firm. Huitt-Zollars’ officers are expected
to serve in a project manager capacity and are involved in the design of your project each and every step of the way. A good
design basis must be established as the first step in maintaining quality control. This responsibility is vested with the principals
of the firm and key project staff, who work to define the project requirements. We listen intently to understand the needs of each
client’s program. Once the specific needs are known, we design your project around your functional requirements, budget, and
schedule. Throughout the design process, we continuously monitor the progress of the project, measuring the cost and benefit
of each element against the impacts to milestone budgets and schedules.
Huitt-Zollars understands that performance is the key to success, and that adherence to high standards of performance and
responsiveness sets us apart from the competition. The only real indication of performance is client satisfaction. Our
performance and success are measurable – more than 80 percent of our annual fees come from repeat clientele, proof that our
philosophy is working.
Experience and Capabilities
As all of the projects in the previous section demonstrate, Huitt-Zollars has extensive experience with retrofit and rehabilitation
of parking structure projects. We have worked on parking garages, both new designs as well as renovations, and most of these
have included constricted sites and challenging entrances. While working on the RTD parking garages along the west corridor
rail line in Denver and Lakewood, we gained valuable insight on how the entrance configuration can affect the operational
efficiency of the garage. Many of our City and County of Denver streetscape projects were transportation improvement projects
where we were retrofitting old infrastructure to accommodate new pedestrian and vehicular travel. Given the urban nature of
these assignments, coordination with all of the stakeholders throughout the process was essential to the successful completion
of the goals. Working on these projects has given us vast experience encompassing most, if not all, facets of this type of
project.

WENDY AMANN, PE – Project Manager
Wendy Amann has more than 22 years of experience as a structural engineer and more than 10 years as a project manager.
This experience gives Amann the ability to work well with any team designing a project, as well as meet the client’s
requirements in an innovative and timely manner. Amann has managed project teams of all sizes in the preparation of designs,
construction documents, and reports for projects constructed from any variety of materials and techniques. Amann’s
experiences have encompassed several parking structures throughout her various new and renovation, residential and
commercial projects. She has been involved in the new design of pre-cast concrete garages as well as the renovation of
existing structures when the owners wanted to expand their parking capabilities. These diverse set of experiences have given
Amann the ability to accurately determine the best solution to any given parking expansion project.
RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Wadsworth & Sheridan RTD Parking Garages – Denver, Colorado
Amann was the Lead Structural Engineer to develop 30% bridge documents for the two parking garages as part of RTD’s West
Corridor Light Rail service. The Wadsworth garage is a four-story, 1,000 space structure and the Sheridan garage is a five-level,
800-space structure. Amann led the effort to develop a Structural Alternatives Evaluation Report on each structure for the client.
The scope of the project was to investigate various structural systems to be utilized in the design of each parking garage. The
team researched and evaluated three preliminary designs: cast-in-place concrete, pre-cast concrete, and steel columns/beams
with post-tensioned concrete slabs. The project is under construction and completion is anticipated in early 2013.
California St. Streetscapes – Denver, Colorado
Amann provided the structural engineering required to provide retrofit plans for an existing sidewalk repair that was complicated
due to an unknown basement area discovered beneath the sidewalk during construction. The basement contained various
areas separated by masonry or stacked flagstone walls including a vault that surrounded the existing fire sprinkler utilities. A
repair scenario was required that allowed the sidewalk to be repaired with little impact on the existing structure below. The
existing sidewalk support system was comprised of large slabs of flagstone rock that were supported by old steel beams that
were rusting away, eliminating the bearing for the flagstones and the sidewalk above. A structure was designed to support the
flagstones as well as the new portions of the sidewalk that also spanned over the existing vault below.
Chroma Lofts – Denver, Colorado
Multi-phase project consisting of a parking garage, townhome building, and renovations of existing structures on an in-fill site in
lower downtown Denver. Amann provided the structural engineering that included the design of an underground water detention
vault as part of the garage foundation system. The challenge for the design and construction of the parking garage was the
close proximity to an existing 100 year-old structure. Due to the archaic foundation system of the existing building, the new
parking garage foundation walls had to be supported with eccentric footings that could resist overturning from lateral pressures
of the precast tees above.
210 St. Paul – Denver, Colorado
Amann was the senior structural engineer for a 30,000 square foot addition to an existing two-story, mixed-use building in the
Cherry Creek area of Denver. The first phase of the project entailed reinforcing the existing second level structure and main
level columns to support the future addition. The second phase of the project consisted of analyzing an existing parking garage
and adding residential units to the upper level adjacent to the existing building. The upper level of the enhanced parking
garage will serve as the platform for an additional three stories of residential units above. The new upper garage structure
consists of steel post and composite beam construction, utilizing steel moment frames in the structure’s short direction and
concentric braced frames in the long direction.

RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE
State of Colorado State Capitol and 1555 Sherman Garages, Denver, CO
This parking facility, also known as the James Merrick State Parking Facility, was designed and built in 2004-2006. It is a 5-
level, 2-bay wide precast concrete structure with a footprint of approximately 122' x 335'. It has 2-way traffic flow with a 90
degree parking angle. It is a single helix design with 5% ramping. The garage provides 660 parking spaces designed to
conform to the City and County of Denver zoning and building codes. The scope of work included a condition appraisal,
research into existing documentation (including original construction drawings), evaluation of the structure to determine
quantities and locations of repairs, material testing, repair options analysis and report and construction administration.
First Presbyterian Church Garage, Colorado Springs, CO
This parking facility is on the corner of Bijou and Weber Streets in downtown Colorado Springs. It was designed and built in
1984-1985. It is a 2-level, 5-bay wide precast concrete structure with a footprint of approximately 180' wide x 326' long. It has a
steep center ramp that is not parked. It is a single helix design provides 339 parking spaces. It is used by staff and visitors to
both the church and the adjacent MCA during the week and is always full on Sundays for church patrons. Being an older facility
that has seen nearly thirty years of deterioration from weather, it required more attention to structural repairs than most garages.
Landmark Development Complex, Greenwood Village, CO
This parking facility was designed and built in 2005-2006. Landmark Development Company designed a large residential and
retail center and included this garage to serve both user groups. It is a 3-level, 72-bay wide precast concrete structure with a
footprint of approximately 236' wide x 454' long. It has five stairwells and a walkway tunnel making it different from other
facilities. The garage provides 835 parking spaces. The garage had serious water problems from its construction, caused
largely by value engineering that eliminated retaining wall waterproofing membranes and sub-standard quality materials in
joints.

17, Series of 2012, upon first reading.
BACKGROUND: Mil Levy Assessments must be certified to the County for collection
annually; this ordinance authorizes certification. Please note that these numbers are only an

TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Finance Department
DATE: November 19, 2012
SUBJECT: Mil Levy Ordinance
I. SUMMARY
Authorization for the collection of property taxes in 2013
II. DISCUSSION
You will be asked to approve the attached mil levy ordinance upon first reading on Tuesday
evening. This ordinance authorizes the collection of property taxes in 2013 based upon 2012
assessed valuations of property within the town’s boundaries. Eagle County is responsible for
assessing values and for collecting property taxes on our behalf. The town is required by
Colorado state law to certify the mil levy by December 15 of each year. Since two readings of
an ordinance are required, we will bring the first reading on Tuesday and the second reading on
December 4th to enable us to meet the December 15 date. The attached ordinance is based on
preliminary assessed valuations from the county (as of August, 2012).
The town’s base mil levy as shown in the ordinance is 4.69 mils and the abatement levy is .076
mils. Abatement results when a taxpayer protests an assessed valuation after the normal
protest period and is refunded a portion of the tax already due or paid. The abatement mil levy
allows the town to recoup the refunded amount. This abatement levy of .076 mils equates to an
additional $6.05 per year for a $1 million home.
The property tax authorized by the attached ordinance will generate $4.1 million in revenue in
2013, representing approximately 8% of the town’s total revenue.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
MEETING DATE: November 20, 2012
ITEM/TOPIC: Colorado Department of Transportation I-70 Chain Station Project Update.
PRESENTER(S): Chad Salli and Samantha Graves, TOV and Michelle Hansen, Stolfus &
Associates
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Continue public and Council input on the proposed
chain station projects.
BACKGROUND: The Colorado Department of Transportation(CDOT) has undertaken a
planning process to evaluate alternatives to provide safer, efficient and more capacity
regarding Chain Station operations in Vail. Stolfus and Associates has been hired by CDOT to
conduct the study. The project team presented initial results of the study at the October 16th
Council meeting. There was quite a bit of public input and questions. The Council requested
CDOT return with more information.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: CDOT should make the current chain station safer by adding
capacity to the west, modifying the lighting using the newer light standards and using
advanced technology to make the operation safer and more efficient.

11/20/2012
Memo
To: Greg Hall
From: Michelle Hansen, PE
Date: November 14, 2012
Re: I-70 Vail Chain Station Improvements Study
Project Summary
CDOT Region 3 has developed alternatives for safety improvements to the chain stations on eastbound
and westbound Interstate 70 through Vail. The improvements are proposed to address current
deficiencies in the chain stations, which include capacity issues, inadequate lighting and minimal
separation between chain station activities and I-70 through traffic. Ultimately, the I-70 Vail Chain
Station Improvement Study will include a recommendation for a CDOT Fiscal Year 2014 construction
project and provide an Implementation Plan that can be used to implement other improvements as
funding becomes available.
Based on requests from the October 16 Town Council meeting, CDOT is soliciting additional public
comment at the November 20 Town Council meeting. Press releases advertising the meeting were
released by CDOT and the Town of Vail on November 7, 2012. Project exhibits and opportunities to
submit written comment are also available on the Town’s website. The comment period will extend to
December 4, 2012.
Project Updates
Below is a list of follow-up items on topics that were identified at the October 16 Town Council meeting:
• Alternatives 179.5 and 182: The project team reviewed the evaluation of alternatives 179.5 and
182. Based on the community feedback received on October 16, coupled with the evaluation of
several of the technical criteria, it was determined that these alternatives did not adequately
meet the goals of this project. Alternatives 179.5 and 182 will not be carried forward to the
study’s Implementation Plan.
• New Light Standard: The existing cobrahead light standard at the main eastbound chain station
at MP 178 is an older chain station light standard. The new “hockey puck” style light standard
was developed to address inefficiencies related to location of the luminaires and the efficiency
of the reflectors. Luminaires from both light standards are compliant with Colorado’s dark sky
law and have the same wattage lamps. The difference in the light standards is not specifically
quantified but can be described with the following: 1) the older standard has a luminaire that is
generally located directly above a parked truck in the chain station. The new light standard has
a luminaire that extends beyond the width of the truck, so that there are two luminaires that
are aimed at either side of the truck rather than on top of it. 2) the new light standard has a
luminaire with a smaller light source and a larger reflector making the luminaire more efficient
and precise in directing the light towards the designated target. Overall the newer light
standard improves upon the older light standard for the truck drivers, law enforcement, and
the community by placing and directing the light more efficiently.
11/20/2012
• Directing local traffic to frontage roads during chain law: CDOT would like to explore this idea
presented by a Council member on October 16 further. There is potential for using the existing
VMS signs in Vail to discourage I-70 travel from Center Vail to East Vail when the chain law is in
effect. One idea that could be considered in support of this concept is the potential to close the
eastbound on ramp from Center Vail and/or close the eastbound off ramp at East Vail during the
chain law. Any feedback on these ideas is welcomed.
• Truck Capture: During events when the chain law is in effect for extended periods of time, CDOT
currently captures and implements controlled release of commercial vehicles at Dotsero.
CDOT will continue to implement controlled release at Dotsero and is currently designing
improvements to the Dotsero truck parking area including restroom facilities, limited lighting,
and highway informational signage. Construction is anticipated in Summer, 2013.
• Chain stations west of Vail: The combination of adverse weather conditions and significant
grades associated with mountain passes create the need for commercial vehicles to install
chains. During weather events, the highway characteristics west of Vail don’t have the same
effects on driving conditions as those east of Vail. Requiring chains in conditions that are not
warranted have the following repercussions: 1) trucks run chains off prior to completing the
ascent up the pass and 2) chains damage the highway. At this time, CDOT has not identified
any potential chain station locations west of Vail that meet the objectives of the chain law and
fall within reasonable highway maintenance budgets.
• Number of hours the chain law is in effect: This varies considerably based on the winter
conditions experienced each year. Between 300 and 400 hours per year is typical for
eastbound I-70 on Vail Pass. The numbers were lower last winter and higher the winter before.
• Air Quality: Every construction project that CDOT completes must obtain an Environmental
Clearance prior to construction. Air quality is one of several environmental resources that must
be investigated to obtain this clearance. As part of this study, the proximity of improvements to
residences and businesses is taken into account as part of the evaluation of alternatives. Any
alternatives that are implemented will undergo more specific investigation related to air
quality prior to construction to determine if mitigation is required. Chain stations are limited
to chain-up activities and long-term truck parking is prohibited.
Timeline
Comments from the public will be accepted through December 4, 2012 and incorporated into the final
evaluation of alternatives. Once the final evaluation is completed, an Implementation Plan will be
developed and a report documenting the study and the Implementation Plan will be finalized.
Completion of the study is planned for the end of the year. CDOT currently has approximately $500,000
of FASTER funding programmed for the first Chain Station improvement project in CDOT Fiscal Year 2014
(beginning July, 2013). (This could include design and/or construction).
