Appendix D
PROPERTY OWNER BALLOTS – TITLE 32
This appendix defines responsibilities when conducting an election for a Political Subdivision (governed under
Title 32) in which property owners who are not Eagle County residents but are registered electors in the State
of Colorado may be eligible to vote. Property owner self-affirming oaths must be signed and returned to the
County Clerk’s Office before ballots are sent to eligible property owners.
Overview - Property Owner Ballots
Property owner ballots are special ballots that contain only those ballot contests certified by Political
Subdivisions in which owners (and their spouses or civil union partners) of real and personal property are eligible
to vote as long as they reside outside of the Political Subdivision but are registered to vote in Colorado (32-1-
103(5) C.R.S.).
If a person resides in and is registered to vote in the Political Subdivision, and also owns additional property in
the Political Subdivision, the Clerk will issue the voter a regular Eagle County ballot style that contains all of the
contests in which they are eligible to vote in a given election, including the ballot content referred by the
Political Subdivision.
If a person resides outside of the Political Subdivision, owns property within the Political Subdivision, and is
registered to vote in the State of Colorado, the county will issue a property owner ballot containing only the
contests referred by the Political Subdivision. This ballot will be sent only after the self-affirming oath has been
returned by the voter to the Clerk and after the Clerk has verified the voter’s eligibility in the statewide voter
registration system. If the property owner does not specify a ballot mailing address on the self-affirming oath,
the property owner ballot will be sent to the mailing or ballot mailing address on record in the statewide voter
registration system.
Property owners who are registered voters outside of the State of Colorado are not eligible to vote a property
owner ballot.

August 16, 2022 - Page 33 of 159
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Environmental Sustainability Department
DATE: August 16, 2022
SUBJECT: Award contract to perform Lidar and ground surveys of 2 -year and 100-year
floodplains and update Vail Ground Control Monuments
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this item is to award a contract for the completion of the following tasks:
A. Update the TOV Ground Control Network on up to twelve existing monuments
and establish up to four new monuments.
B. Aerial LIDAR data capture of the area outlined in green above in Figure 1.
C. Provide Lidar las; DEM; and 6 inch contour maps in GIS compatible format.
D. Create a 2D HEC RAS model of the TYFL and produce TYFL maps for Gore
Creek and its named tributaries within the area delineated in green in Figure 1
above.
E. Create a 2D HEC RAS model of the FEMA 100 year floodplain and produce
maps the 100 year floodplain for Gore Creek and its named tributaries within the
area delineated in green in Figure 1 above.
II. BACKGROUND
The Vail Town Council adopted the Stream Corridor Protection Ordinance on May 17,
2022. The ordinance established new stream setbacks within Vail town boundaries
which are based on the Two-Year Flood Line (TYFL) along Gore Creek and its named
tributaries. The accuracy of the TYFL throughout the Town of Vail should b e improved
in order to make it easier for a surveyor to determine the TYFL and associated setbacks
on a specific stream front property. It has also been documented that the FEMA 100
year floodplain in Vail is inaccurate and outdated in a number of locatio ns due to the
use of data collected in the 1990s and changes to the stream channel since that data
was collected more than 20 years ago. The goal of this project is to model and map the
August 16, 2022 - Page 34 of 159
Town of Vail Page 2
TYFL and the FEMA 100 year floodplain using aerial LIDAR survey and analysis, and to
update and improve the accuracy of Town of Vail Ground Control Network.
III. ACTION REQUESTED OF THE TOWN COUNCIL
Authorize the Town Manager to enter into an agreement, in a form approved by the
Town Attorney with River Restoration, a business specializing in river engineering, for
the completion of Lidar and ground surveys in the amount of, and not to exceed
$184,000.

At RiverRestoration, we apply state-of-the-art technology and science as an analytical approach to the
assessment, evaluation and design of natural channels. This results in reliable predictions of channel response that
leads to sustainable riparian and aquatic habitat regeneration. We examine projects on broad time and spatial
scales. Long-term function of geomorphology and sediment transport are central to our design. We connect
communities to their rivers by including river interaction as a central design theme. These plans take into account
habitat function, recreational use, non-point source pollution reduction, and water rights. We establish a vision
with clients and guide strategies and alternatives evaluations to implement that vision.

TOWN OF VAIL | TWO YEAR FLOOD LINE AND 100 YEAR FLOODPLAIN MODELING AND MAPPING
3 Making Rivers Better Places
PROPOSAL
Introduction
The following Scope of Services is for improving the accuracy and repeatability of the Two-Year Flood
Line (TYFL) and the 100-yr Floodplain elevations and delineations for the mainstem and tributaries of
Gore Creek through the Town of Vail with the best available technology and data. The TYFL elevation has
been adopted by TOV for regulating and protecting the riparian corridor. Elevations could be better defined
for each property allowing a surveyor to determine the setback line on a specific property. NGS has
downgraded the control of the Vail Valley and local surveyors are currently having a repeatability problem
with surveying the TYFL or the 100-yr Floodplain.
We propose to collect high resolution LIDAR and ground survey of the stream channels and create a HEC-
RAS 2d model for continuous water surface predictions along the streams. We propose to establish ground
control points to orient local surveyors to the specific elevations and datums used in the modeling and Lidar
updates. Mapping of the delineated water surface elevations are proposed to be updated with the new
ground data and would be provided in GIS format for the TOV to host and publish.
To collect high resolution LIDAR and make it useable and repeatable on the ground, a reliable ground
control network needs to be established. Establishing a control network for the TOV to rely on the
repeatability in locating the TYFL and the 100-yr requires a Geodesist that understands: 1) projection errors
at high altitude, 2) the continental plates are constantly moving, and 3) how satellite based datums are the
future of survey control. Matt Nichols of SSI is that Geodesist and recognizes that this project warrants the
use of National Geodetic Survey (NGS) Online Positioning User Service (OPUS) “Projects”. Matt and his
crew are uniquely qualified to publish with NGS thereby making the control network established in the
proposal nationally recognizable, published and maintained by NGS, and updatable to future datums (the
1988 NAVD expected to be superseded in 2023). By using the OPUS Projects platform it would allow us to
utilize their platform for multiple control point observations in a campaign based work flow to observe the
network and manage the required accuracies. Our plan is to observe multiple observations over the same
points in a “Hub Design” manner that would ensure that we could meet and or exceed the following. Matt’s
team has experience in planning for the "Project” and submitting the "Project” to the NGS for review and
accept as a published OPUS Project. The proposed multiple observations of the same control points in a
campaign manner to achieve <= 1.0 CM accuracy and this will be tied to the time “Epoch” observing the
points. The Epoch is critical for translating the Control Network to future satellite based datums. This
approach is critical to making any future adjustments to the data to assure value and long-term viability for
the flood modeling. SSI will document all of the control points as required by NGS and analyze the
project. SSI will upload all of the data to the NGS for the use of the OPUS Projects platform and perform
Network adjustments and finalize the results. SSI would also deliver the results of the project to the TOV
and record the Project Control Diagram at the county for all to use. This plan would allow the network to be
documented in a manner consistent with the datum modernization efforts of the NGS and allow the control
points to be utilized moving forward. By utilizing this approach anyone needing access to the control points
will have multiple ways of accessing the data and ensure that everyone working within the network will all
be utilizing the same control points and reduce the errors currently experienced by local surveyors. SSI is
prepared to complete the ground control network by September 15, 2022.

NV5 will collect LiDAR data using a high pulse rate linear-mode LiDAR system to produce a highly
accurate (5cm), high resolution (>20 pulses/m2 ) LiDAR dataset with no gaps and ample buffers around
project boundaries. Data will be collected with at least 30% overlap among swaths to minimize gaps and
laser shadowing. The LiDAR system records up to four range measurements (returns) per pulse (first,
second, third, and last). All overlapping flight lines will be flown in opposing directions to maximize
detection of swath to swath inconsistencies and used to resolve system misalignments. Using a combination
of automated and manual techniques that are tailored to the particular land cover and terrain of the study
area, LiDAR processing will include kinematic corrections, calculation of laser point position, relative
accuracy testing and calibrations, classification of ground and non-ground points, assessments of statistical
absolute accuracy, and creation of ground surface models.
Digital Orthophotography will be collected with a medium format Phase One digital mapping camera in 3
bands (R, G, B) with 40% along-track overlap, and 30% sidelap. The sensor is integrated on the same plane
as the LiDAR sensor. Flight parameters will be adjusted to collect imagery with a native pixel size (ground
sample distance) of 9cm. Due to the late date of the flight (October 2022) sun angles may be lower than
optimal and priority will be given to conditions required for lidar collections. The resulting data product is
geo-rectified 8-bit true color imagery of the study area provided as tiled, color- ortho-mosaic. Spatial
accuracies (RMSE) will meet. 18 cm RMSE Horizontal accuracy Orthorectification will be accomplished
using the LiDAR DEM of the study area.). Individual ortho-rectified TIFFs will be mosaicked ensuring that
any radiometric differences between images are corrected. Color balancing and detailed mosaic edits will
target best visual appearance of the bands. Mosaic lines will be non-apparent by carefully blending and
editing seam locations.
The NV5 and SSI subconsultant detailed proposals are attached hereto for reference.
RiverRestoration hydrographic survey crews would also ground truth hydraulic controls and crossings with
GNSS survey on the established control network. With the highly accurate mapping a 2-D HEC RAS
model can be developed and calibrated to the survey conditions. The model will be run in steady state for
each the TYFL and the 100-yr hydrograph. GIS-database compatible delineations and elevations of each
flood profile will be provided for easy integration into the TOV GIS database.
The scope of services and opinion of service efforts were developed assuming a Time and Materials
reporting and payment format. Table 1 has our budget estimate $181,788.54 detail. Subconsultant proposals
are attached.
Task 1.0 – Data Collection
Description – The purpose of this task is to produce 6 inch accurate or better data in the mainstem and
tributaries of Gore Creek. We propose to acquire 15.5 square miles of data at 5 cm accuracy with 20ppm. In
addition, Aerial Imagery will be collected at 9cm per pixel which creates ASPRS class 2 standard accuracy
of 18 cm. The Lidar will be processed for bare earth ground and utilized in the hydraulic modeling. The
aerial imagery will be orthorectified. The aerial data collected will be available for future additional post
processing that could detail structures, sidewalks, light poles, roads and drainages, etc..

The improved data will allow property owners and surveyors and other professionals to more accurately
locate the published TYFL and 100-yr Flood elevations and extents on each property both physically, and in
GIS or other mapping platforms. The current mapping data (lidar and orthophotos) is only accurate to 2 feet.
Furthermore, there is confusion as to how to recover the data elevation and horizontal datums with ground
survey and published benchmark elevations. In addition, the standard NAVD 1988 datum is currently being
superseded by the NATRF2022 vertical datum moving forward. The datum conversion and newly acquired
data will be recoverable in the future with the proposed control network making this data collection effort
viable in the future.
Tasks will include the following:
- Update the TOV Ground Control Network on upto 12 existing commonly used monuments and
upto 4 new monuments. This task will include information on converting the benchmarks to
historical datums and to the NATRF2022
- Aerial data acquisition
Deliverables:
- Up to 12 updated Ground Control Data Sheets
- Upto 4 new ground control monuments
- Published NGS/Opus Project
- Explanation of project datum and data conversions to satellite based datums expected in the near
future.
- Lidar las; DEM; and 6 inch contour maps in GIS compatible format
- 9cm GSD Orthophotos
Assumptions:
- Aerial data acquisition will be scheduled for low water and dry leaf conditions October 1-15, 2022
to maximize exposed channel detail.
- Bathymetric Lidar is not feasible due to the high flight elevations and water aeration.
- Lidar returns may be limited where the ground is significantly obstructed and require interpolation
- All deliverables will be in electronic format and compatible with GIS or PDF
Task 2.0– 2D Hydraulic Modeling and Mapping TYFL
Description – The current hydraulic models that the TYFL and the 100-yr Flood elevations are based on are
one dimensional (1D) hydraulic modeling and may include interpolations over long areas which could lead
to on the ground errors. With the new data collected in Task 1, the model resolution would be greatly resolved
to 2 feet by 2 feet grids. The purpose of this task is to create a 2D HEC RAS model of the TYFL and 100-yr
Flood and produce maps for the entire mainstem of Gore Creek and the tributaries within the Special Hazard
Flood Area (SHFA).
Tasks will include the following:
- Convert the existing 1D HEC RAS model to a 2D HEC RAS model.
- Limited ground survey of crossings.
- Make calibration adjustments to model based on low flow. The 100-yr geometry will have the
same Manning’s n assumptions as the TYFL.
- Produce TYFL and 100-yr Flood elevation and delineation maps for the mainstem & tributaries.
Deliverables:
- TYFL elevation delineation maps (electronic format, GIS compatible) for mainstem of Gore
Creek and mapped SFHA tributaries

A significant flood event occurred within the Town of Vail in
June of 2010. RiverRestoration calculated that flows, greater
than the 100-year event occured on the main channel and flows
exceeded the 500-year event on a number of tributaries. This
flooding significantly damaged property, infrastructure and the
channel. Town of Vail requested a damage assessment and a
prioritized river engineering and restoration plan. The Town is
highly sensitive to the environment and aesthetics and requested
a restoration plan that could enhance the natural function of the
channel while stabilizing the urban infrastructure.
RiverRestoration identified, categorized and prioritized 64
projects for repair and restoration. Cost opinions and concepts
for sustainable designs were scoped. RiverRestoration designed and engineered four top priority projects guided them
through construction within 6 months. Twenty Seven additional descrete projects have been designed by RiverRestoration and
implemented since 2011. Improved flood conveyance, bank stability and infrastructure protection has been achieved at each
project. These designs have accommodated habitat, morphology, and recreation while being aesthetically pleasing. As a part
of this effort 12 parcels of Town stream tract have benn reclaimed and restored with native riparian vegetation designed by
RiverRestoration. The riverfront property values are a close second to the slopeside valuations as the Gold Medal fishing and
world class kayaking are creating year round recreation demand in this mountain resort town.

Stephens Park Bank
Stabilization and Access:
Sixty feet of flood erosion
at this river bank threatened
collapse of 150 foot tall
conifer trees and the capture
of historic channels pictured
here. RiverRestoration
stabilized the eroding bank
with a combination of stone
terracing and dense riparian
vegetation. The main channel
was trained with a number
of rock barbs. The toe of
the banks supporting the
conifers was stabilized with
stone toe protection and
significant revegetation of the
understory. The project fronts
the Stephen’s Park dog park
and is now the best place to
cool off in Vail.

Chriostopher Sewell Bridge Stabilization: Flood erosion of a river bank completely scoured the bridge abutment and the bridge was structurally unsound. The bank was rebuilt and trained and the abutment was stabilized in place to save the bridge and defer the more significant costs of replacing the bridge.
No. 7 Tee Bank Stabilization: The south bank of Gore Creek
near the Number 7 tee box after 100-year flooding threatened
collapse of the adjacent path. The bank was rebuilt to provide
ample buffer between the path and top of the bank. Live willow
staking and ample riparian restoration were installed to help
stabilize the bank.
RiverRestoration hydraulically designed a bridge realignment
and stabilized a channel head cut on Middle Creek behind the
Vail Public Library.
Aspen Court Bridge Channel Realignment: 100-year flooding
caused 50 lateral feet of channel migration and the collapse of
Aspen Court bridge. RiverRestoration realigned the river and
stabilized the bank with a combination of stone toe protection
and a live crib bank. The live crib design allowed for the mass
of channel deposits to be cost effectively disposed onsite into
the rebuilt bank. The floodway conveyance was restored with
this project. Dense riparian vegetation was planted in the
face of the crib as well on the overbank. The channel was
designed for the continued transport of cobble materials and
to accommodate potential future channel migration.

Columbine Drive Culvert Replacement: A 500-year flood event passed 3 feet diameter boulders through a CMP culvert, tearing the bed of the culvert and creating piping of the road embankment and sink holes in the road grade. In addition a 10 feet vertical head cut formed downstream. RiverRestoration designed a 8’x5’ concrete box culvert with groundwater cutoff collars and stabilized the head cut with a massive boulder waterfall on the downstream channel.
Booth Creek Avulsion Repair: Booth Creek experienced 500-
year flood event in 2010. A culvert occluded with large
cobble debris and the upstream creek avulsed creating a new
channel and flooding. RiverRestoration modified the culvert
for improved sediment transport, repaired the avulsion,
designed stable grade control for USGS 09066200 gage and
a new rating curve adn indesigned native riparian restoration.
Ford Park Amphitheater Bridge Stormwater Swale: The eroding
stormwater outlet was designed by RiverRestoration to be
rerouted through a constructed and vegetated swale and into
the riparian buffer. The rerouting paths for the low flow were
routed with large log and boulder structures with overflow
channels. Native riparian vegetation was installed throughout
the new swale.
Bighorn Pond Avulsion Repair: 100 year flooding of Gore
Creek captured a side channel flow through pond and initiated
a head cut through the outlet. RiverRestoration designed a 7.3
feet vertical concrete cutoff wall to stabilize the head cut and
control the pond level through a range of flows. In addition
the inlet works to the pond were wiped out with 50 feet of
bank erosion. RiverRestoration designed the realignment of
the main channel, diversion head gate, crib bank and bio-
stabilization structure, and a boulder vane in the channel for
headding the diversion works.

RiverRestoration was awarded a IDIQ contract with the Albuquerque
Metropolitan Arroyo Flood Control District (AMAFCA) to provide river
engineering including hydraulic modeling and flood hazard mapping. To
date, three task orders have been awarded for HEC-RAS Two-
Dimensional hydraulic modeling and routing of flood flows through
complex Arroyo’s and concrete lined channels.
Task Order #1: NAA HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS BERNALILLO COUNTY, NEW
MEXICO was scoped as a flood hazard evaluation of three natural Arroyos
that confluence in a residential development. AMAFCA staff provided
various types of topographic information that was used to create the
hydraulic models. This included LiDAR data, detailed topographic survey
of the arroyo channels, and high resolution aerials of the study area. The
aerials were used to place structures and walls when this information
was not included in the survey data. An AutoCAD Civil 3D surface was
developed, and this information was then imported in ArcGIS as a raster
based digital elevation model (DEM) with a cell size of 2 feet by 2 feet.
The 2D HEC-RAS models were developed by RiverRestoration and run
using selected modeling parameters for three configurations to
represent existing conditions. The 2D HEC-RAS results of velocities and
depths for the 100- year event, and 50% of the 100-year event, were
imported as raster images into ArcGIS for mapping.
Task Order #2: NAA HYDRAULIC DESIGN OF HYDRAULIC CROSSINGS was
scoped as an evaluation of two conceptual alternatives to improve flood
conveyance of Arroyos confluence in a residential development. The 2D
HEC-RAS models were developed by RiverRestoration and run using
selected modeling parameters based on proposed design of Arroyo
Lining and crossings to represent proposed flood hazard conditions. The
2D HEC-RAS results of velocities and depths for the 100- year event, and
50% of the 100-year event, were imported as raster images into ArcGIS
for mapping.
Task Order #3: NORTH PINO ARROYO HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS was scoped
as an evaluation existing concrete lined channel capacity and flood
hazard area due to overbanking. AMAFCA provided high resolution Lidar
(5cm 20ppm) for basemapping input. RiverRestoration field surveyed
hydraulic controls. The 2D HEC-RAS models were developed by RiverRestoration and run using selected modeling inputs.

The Lower Colorado River Assessment (Project) is a significant effort to
perform bathymetric survey and obtain bed sediment data of the Colorado
River (River) between Hoover Dam south to the Southerly International
Boundary (SIB) with Mexico. The Project area is 90 square miles over more
than 342 miles of River channel. Much of the area is extremely remote in
the Mohave and Sonoran Desert wildernesses. The Dams named Hoover,
Davis and Parker, have tamed the River here and helped establish the West;
but the deep gorges of Black Canyon, Topock and Picacho mark the story of
a wild and raging River.
RiverRestoration (www.RiverRestoration.org) was awarded the contract to
perform the work for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) Lower
Colorado Region. The RiverRestoration Team included: NV5 Geospatial
(www.nv5.com ) to acquire aerial topo-bathy lidar data; Precision Surveys,
Inc. (www.precisionsurveysinc.com) to establish a ground control network
and support aerial surveys; Survey Systems, Inc (surveysystems.net)
for bathymetric survey, and; Tetra Tech, Inc. (www.tetratech.com) for
bathymetric survey and sediment sampling support.
The survey strategy was to first establish the ground control (October 2021)
that could be accessed for survey check in, aerial ground control, and for
RTK base set up if needed. Pairs of control monuments were established
every 10 miles. The control network was established with static methods
and post processing on the precise ephemeris.
The second step in the survey strategy
was to acquire aerial lidar (November
2021) including “green” lidar that
has the ability to aerially acquire
bathymetric data. Aerial bathymetry is
limited by depth, but it was anticipated
that a majority of the survey area
could be completed with the aerial
lidar with depth penetrations upto
30 feet. This would allow the vessel
surveys to focus on bathymetric surveys
in the limited areas where lidar data
were not collected. Aerial bathymetry
requires ground control, water surface
elevations and water quality data for
calibration. The Precision Surveys had
just received their quiver of new RTX
enabled Trimble R12 receivers curtesy
of the supplier Frontier Precision
(frontierprecision.com) in time to
support the aerial survey. This was the
first test of RTX reliability for the survey
area and initial results were promising
with checks on the established control
better than 0.1 feet and good precisions

in canyon areas without loosing initialization. Lidar acquisition did not include real time GNSS corrections, but with the ground
control verified with RTX, lidar was post processed with RTX corrections.
With the corrected lidar data, an aerial “voids” map developed for areas where lidar returns were not accurate. The vessel based
bathymetric survey areas were defined and planned for deployment (February 2022) based on the voids map. The Multi-Beam
Echo Sounder (MBES) equipment requires dual GNSS receiver heads to determine heading in the positioning solution. In order
to survey the lidar void areas, and avoid shoals, real time corrections were required to safely and efficiently pull off the vessel
based surveys. However, the real time RTX service had not yet been released as mobilization was imminent to stay within the
tight schedule of the Project. The
supplier Seafloor Systems (www.
seafloorsystems.com) worked
directly with Applanix (a Trimble
company) to release the first
beta version of real time RTX
corrections for their Wavemaster
II. The vessel Ducky was set up
with the Wavemaster II for real
time positioning of a Reson T-50
MBES. A redundant Trimble R10
with real time RTX enabled was
also set up to allow for control
checks and positioning verification.
The vessel Perseverance was
set up similarly with an Applanix
Wavemaster, a beta version of real
time RTX corrections, and a Reson
T-20. The vessel David Humes was
similarly equipped. With all of the
vessels capable of real time RTX the
survey areas could be efficiently
divided, overlapped and merged.
Sonar survey proceeded between
February 15 and June 8 2022.
Sediment sampling of 339
bed sediments were collected
throughout the Project area.
Sediments samples were gathered
using various techniques. The main
sampling method was composed
of using a Ponar, we also used the
BM54, grab sample when shallow
enough as well as field sieve
and wolman count when more
appropriate.
Coordination with Tribal entities
was required for acces to lands.
QAQC and Safety Plans were
prepared in acordance with USBR
standards. No significant injuries
occured during the effort.

Vail, Colorado Lidar 1
1.0 Executive Summary
Quantum Spatial (DBA NV5 Geospatial) is a full-service geospatial firm
with over four decades of experience in spatial data acquisition and
generation, integration, and analysis for clients worldwide. Their talented
staff of over 600 employees includes licensed photogrammetrists, image
processing analysts, lidar specialists, professional engineers, GIS specialists, licensed state land surveyors,
land mapping specialists, programmers, CADD designers, and IT specialists. They are an industry leader in
the acquisition and processing of lidar (topographic and topobathymetric) and orthoimagery across a
diversity of landscapes.
For the Vail, Colorado Project, lidar data will be collected over a total 15.5 sq miles. Data will be collected
at 20 points per meter with an absolute accuracy requirement of 5 cm RMSE. Additionally, we have provided
an option for aerial imagery collection to support digital orthophotography and future planimetric mapping
should the Town require these products.
2.0 Lidar Methods
The following provides a summary of the methodologies and practices we will employ to meet and the
project standards. NV5 Geospatial has developed a unique repertoire of collection, processing, and product
validation protocols and tools to provide assurance that all specifications standards and requirements are
met. These ensure a high level of execution compliance and product uniformity. Methodologies to ensure
delivery of high-quality products and services to required standards include the following:
1. Sensor Calibration – Sensor calibration test flights are performed frequently to verify computation of
lever arms and ultimately the relative and absolute accuracy of the system. Periodic calibrations are
conducted at our calibration facility in which flights over a permanent boresight location are conducted
using orthogonal flight lines at two different altitudes. The calibration site includes a total of 26 control
points established with precise survey methods. Comprehensive calibration is routinely undertaken
when hardware changes to the system have occurred; environmental conditions are believed to have
affected the current calibration; or after the maximum period of three months from the previous
comprehensive calibration. Project specific boresight calibration is also locally conducted on each
sensor at project commencement and completion.
2. Acquisition –Operational procedures include detailed flight planning and parameter settings to
guarantee executing the nominal pulse density with 100% coverage. These include careful
determination of scan angle and flight altitude configurations to meet pulse density specifications;
>30% overlap of flight lines to minimize gaps over terrain, and ensure multi-angle laser penetration and
characterization of features; terrain following; coordination of flight headings with terrain contours; and
GPS/IMU/boresighting coordination to result in indiscernible line-to-line differences in point locations.
Lidar data will be acquired at ≥ 20 pulses/m2 using a state-of-the-art lidar system comprised of a roll-
compensated sensor with GPS (≥ 2 Hz sampling frequency)/IMU and capable of emitting ≥150,000
laser pulses per second (up to 500KHz) with multi-pulse in air (MPIA) capabilities. Departures from
planarity will not exceed 10 cm for the project as a whole (typical laser noise evaluated over multiple
NV5 GEOSPATIAL projects - 2 cm).
August 16, 2022 - Page 74 of 159
Vail, Colorado Lidar 2
3. Survey Control – Thorough survey and ground control procedures are critical to enabling corrections
for aircraft position, calibrating flight lines, and verification of accuracies. We will execute a
comprehensive ground survey control and verification plan to ensure data accuracy according to
specifications. These include collecting calibration checkpoints, and validation checkpoints across
land cover types to assess vertical accuracy. To verify lidar point calibration and enable accuracy
assessment, our field crew will collect ground survey points (GSPs) using traditional GNSS-based real
time kinematic (RTK) or post-processed kinematic (PPK) survey techniques. For flight line calibration,
we will distribute a suitable number of hard, bare earth ground check points (GCPs) on level slope
throughout project areas. GCPs will span multiple flight lines and where possible, span at least 20% of
the flight lines of larger study areas. In addition, our ground crew will collect at least ASPRS-
recommended minimum number of non-vegetated (NVA) and vegetated (VVA) control points to be
used for assessing vertical accuracy.
4. Pre-Calibration - The base station data, ground check points, executed flight plans, and daily field
reports are transferred to the production office nightly and evaluated within a day of acquisition. NV5
GEOSPATIAL survey and acquisition staff will evaluate acquired data using QA/QC tools for near real-
time detection of any system issues. Automated methods check for coverage and density prior to
initiating calibration, allowing the acquisition team to respond quickly to any data gaps or sensor issues
before the flight team has relocated to the next targeted area. Mission GPS/IMU data are run through
Leica IPAS Pro to look for gaps in data collection. Any areas with voids are reviewed by NV5
GEOSPATIAL’s technical lead and a decision is made on whether a re-flight is necessary.
5. Flight Line Calibration - NV5 GEOSPATIAL has been uniquely adamant in its position that calibration
procedures are of utmost importance in achieving accurate topographic modeling. They are known
within the industry for providing datasets with tight line-to-line calibrations and exceptionally high
relative accuracy. We follow a stringent protocol for collection of GCPs to evaluate and correct flight
line offsets. Relative accuracy is assessed, and slight system pitch/roll/yaw misalignments are
corrected, through automated sampling and calibration routines comparing elevation, slope, and
intensity values for the same area within two or more overlapping flight lines. Calibration of flight lines
is important both to ensure high relative and absolute accuracy, and to facilitate data consistency
among missions.
6. Point Cloud –Lidar point data go through multiple inspections throughout the workflow to ensure the
most representative models of the project area terrain and above ground features are ultimately
delivered. NV5 Geospatial utilizes TerraScan and TerraModeler for automated class assignments,
manual editing/artifact removal, and bare earth generation. NV5 Geospatial has developed customized
(to landscape) variable macros for initial ground modeling. Key project-specific variables such as point
characteristics and classification maximums (terrain and iteration angles) are established in this
phase. Automated generation of ground points is not solely relied upon to create a final surface,
however - NV5 GEOSPATIAL point editors are trained to look for any anomalies in the point cloud
including line-offsets, artifacts, abnormal noise, etc. We have established communication protocols for
editors to identify potential issues to the Project Manager and Technical Lead. There will be no
avoidable misclassification of returns contained in the lidar data deliverables (no more than 2% error
per square kilometer). After calibration, manual filtering of error points, and ground classification is
complete, the native (first return) and ground classified densities are verified they meet the nominal
specification.
August 16, 2022 - Page 75 of 159
Vail, Colorado Lidar 3
7. Surface Model Generation - For most lidar applications, the quality and accuracy of the ground model
and associated topographic products is of paramount importance for effective planning, mitigation,
and an understanding of earth processes. The ability to derive sound accurate topographic products
hinges on strategic acquisition approaches, rigorous calibration of flight lines, and high-level point
cloud processing. We have developed robust methodologies for generating final culminating
topographic products that are accurate, comprehensive, user-friendly, and manageable. Processing
methodologies for DEM generation include creating a triangulated surface between ground-classified
points, exporting TINs as ArcGIS ASCII grids at the specified pixel resolution and then mosaicking the
grid into a delineation/tiling system specified by the client. In the mosaicking process, we use protocols
to ensure there are no tile edge artifacts.
8. Proprietary software ensure consistent model output criteria are met for each project. A significant
step in the bare earth DEM workflow for includes proper treatment and surface representation of bridge
crossings. Our methodology involves digitizing breaklines that represent the terrain elevations
underneath the bridge deck, and draping to the ground surface for integration in the final DEM. The
terrain breaklines will effectively force the DEM to triangulate down to the ground beneath the bridge
rather than straight across at bridge deck level.
9. Hydroflattened DEM - Hydroflattening is a standard product to which NV5 GEOSPATIAL has become
accustomed and for which we have developed unique proprietary tools. The hydro flattening process
involves generating hydro breaklines, assigning elevation values, applying the breaklines to the DEM,
and assuring proper topology and drainage monotonicity (downward flow of water). Inland ponds,
lakes, streams and rivers meeting USGS criteria (impoundments, natural or man-made greater than ~2
acres in area; all streams that are nominally wider than 100 ft) are identified, and hydro-breaklines for
these are digitized within the project boundary. Breaklines are developed using an algorithm which
weighs lidar -derived slopes, intensities, and return densities to detect the water’s edge. Edges are then
manually reviewed and edited as necessary. Once hydrolines are developed, water body elevations are
computed from the filtered lidar returns. Water’s edge breaklines are then incorporated into the final
terrain model and enforced. The initial ground classified points (class 2) falling within polygon or
polyline breaklines are then re-classified as water (class 9).
10. Accuracy Analysis and Reporting - Absolute accuracy assessments will compare the x, y, z locations
of known ground survey points to the triangulated ground surface generated from the lidar points.
Accuracies are described as the mean and standard deviation (sigma~) of divergence from ground
survey point coordinates. VVA points should have survey areas sized with a minimum homogeneous
area of (NPSx5)2, with less than one-third of the required RMSEz deviation from a low-slope (less than
10 degrees) plane.
The following vertical accuracies will be met or exceeded lidar compliance:
o RMSEZ ≤ 5 cm (non-vegetated Swath, DEM)
o NVA ≤ 9.8 cm 95% Confidence Level (Swath, DEM)
o VVA ≤ 14.7 cm 95th Percentile (DEM)
All accuracy statistics (RMSEz, Accuracyz - 1.96 , skewness/distribution, and percentile deviations)
are reported in the project report.

3.0 Lidar Technical Approach
Acquisition and Survey Control
NV5 Geospatial will collect airborne
topographic lidar data using a Riegl 1560ii
model (or equivalent) system at 20
pulses/m2 or greater with no gaps and
ample buffers around project boundaries.
Data will be collected at ≤ 60° field of view
(± 30° from nadir; this is standard FOV for
the newer 1560ii), with at least 30%
overlap among swaths to minimize gaps
and laser shadowing. All overlapping flight lines will be flown in opposing directions to maximize detection
of swath-to-swath inconsistencies and resolve system misalignments. Vertical accuracy – relative and
absolute – will meet or exceed requirements as per the RFP.
To enable geospatial correction of aircraft positional coordinate
data, NV5 Geospatial will use Trimble® CenterPoint™ Post-
Processed Real-Time Extended (‘PP-RTX’) and/or TerraPos®
Precise Point Positioning (‘PPP’). To calibrate the data and enable
accuracy assessments, field crews will collect ground check points
(GCPs) using GPS-based real-time kinematic (RTK) survey
techniques. For an RTK survey, the ground crew uses a roving unit
to receive radio-relayed corrected positional coordinates for all
ground points from a GPS base unit set up over a survey control
monument. Our team will distribute a suitable number of ground
check points (GCPs) on level slope throughout the project area, as feasible given road access and GPS
conditions. Ground survey points will be collected on open, bare earth surfaces (Calibration and Non-
vegetated Vertical Accuracy - NVA) and within prominent land cover types (Vegetated Vertical Accuracy -
VVA). Vertical accuracy requirements will meet or exceed the specification levels for NVA and VVA (see
above table). The techniques for establishing all ground check points will be outlined in the Report of
Survey, including the identity, locations, and position residuals of all GCPs used to evaluate survey
accuracy.
Processing
Using a combination of automated and manual techniques that are tailored to the particular land cover and
terrain of the study area, lidar processing will include kinematic corrections, calculation of laser point
position, relative accuracy testing and calibrations, classification of ground and non-ground points,
assessments of statistical absolute accuracy, and creation of ground surface models.
The hydro flattening process involves generating hydro breaklines, assigning elevation values, applying the
breaklines to the DEM, and assuring proper topology and drainage monotonicity (downward flow of water).
Breaklines are developed using an algorithm which weighs lidar-derived slopes, intensities, and return
densities to detect the water’s edge. Hydro breaklines for inland ponds, lakes, streams and rivers meeting

nominally wider than 100 ft) will be digitized. Water body elevations are computed from the filtered lidar
returns, and water’s edge breaklines are then incorporated into the final terrain model and enforced [initial
ground classified points (class 2) falling within polygon or polyline breaklines are then re-classified as water
(class 9).
Absolute accuracy assessments will compare known RTK ground survey points to derived lidar points.
Accuracies are described as the mean and standard deviation (RMSE) of divergence from RTK ground
survey point coordinates. All accuracy statistics (RMSEz, Accuracyz - 1.96 * RMSE, skewness/ distribution,
and percentile deviations) will be reported in the final report. Statements of statistical accuracy will apply
to fixed terrestrial surfaces only.
0.5’ ft contours will be generated. Contours are produced by interpolating between the model key points at
even elevation increments. Generation of model key points eliminates redundant detail in terrain
representation (particularly in areas of low relief) and provides for a more manageable dataset. NV5
Geospatial will also delineate any “low confidence” regions within the project area where ground return
densities (i.e. areas of thick vegetation) preclude contours at the specified interval. Index contours will be
clearly distinguishable and attributed with elevations in full feet. Contours will be continuous, with no breaks
in the areas of dense tree cover or where contours are too close.
4.0 Digital Orthophotography - Optional
If required, imagery will be collected with a large
format mapping camera with 60% along-track
overlap, and 30% sidelap. Flight parameters will be
adjusted to collect imagery with a native pixel size
(ground sample distance) of 9cm.
The resulting data product is geo-rectified 8-bit true
color imagery of the study area provided as tiled, color- ortho-mosaic. Spatial accuracies (RMSE) will
meet. 18cm RMSE Horizontal accuracy
Orthorectification will be accomplished using the LiDAR DEM of the study area. Individual ortho-rectified
TIFFs will be mosaicked ensuring that any radiometric differences between images are corrected. Color
balancing and detailed mosaic edits will target best visual appearance of the bands. Mosaic lines will be
non-apparent by carefully blending and editing seam locations.
It should be noted that the proposed imagery can also be used in the future to collect planimetric
information for updating the Town’s GIS base mapping.

Vail, Colorado Lidar 7
State/Regional, and Private entities that is unparalleled in the U.S. We have been at the forefront of the
collection and processing of high resolution lidar data for over two decades and are intimately familiar and
experienced with all possible applications of topographic lidar mapping for any landscape (mountainous,
lowland, coastal, urban, remote). Our project experience has varied from small, 100-acre design sites to
irregular narrow corridors (river, transportation) to wide-area million-acre multi-jurisdictional counties,
watersheds, and forests. Our acquisition best practices result in achieved accuracies that support follow-
on analyses, and critical engineering or mitigation decisions made by our clients. We are familiar with
collecting lidar during any season and time of day, during a diversity of ground conditions (leaf on/off, tidal)
and in coordination with various airspace and flight considerations (metropolitan areas, restricted airspace,
remote localities). We regularly provide our expertise and consultation on lidar work orders and tailor the
collection technology (sensor, specifications and settings, accuracy, and data resolution requirements) to
guarantee meeting specific project objectives appropriate for the characteristics of the study area. An
understanding of the application and geographic setting is always our starting point for best determining
the equipment and resources that will be required to meet the contract specifications. We have a robust
experience portfolio in collecting high resolution data in the West and Alaska, where vegetation is
structurally complex, land cover is highly diverse, terrain is most variable, and where elevation updates are
often needed most.

To: Mr. Jason, Carey, P.E. River Restoration
RE: Town of Vail Control Network
Dear Mr. Carey,
Survey Systems (SSI) is providing this letter in an effort to describe our approach to the project for the control network for
the Town of Vail. (TOV). It’s purpose is to describe broadly how we would approach the project to provide a control
network for the TOV and incorporate that control for the town to move forward in resolving the issues they are
encountering.
SSI believes that this project warrants the use of National Geodetic Survey (NGS) Online Positioning User Service
(OPUS) “Projects”. By using the OPUS Projects platform it would allow us to utilize their platform for multiple control point
observations in a campaign based work flow to observe the network and manage the required accuracies. Our plan is to
observe multiple observations over the same points in a “Hub Design” manner that would ensure that we could meet and
or exceed the following.
·Planning for the project and submitting the project to the NGS to review and accept as an OPUS Project
·Multiple observations of the same control points in a campaign manner to achieve <= 1.0 CM accuracy and this
will be tied to the time observing the points.
·Document all of the control points as required by NGS and analyze the project.
·Upload all of the data to the NGS for the use of the OPUS Projects platform and perform Network adjustments
and finalize the results.
·Deliver the results of the project to the TOV and record the Project Control Diagram at the county for all to use.
This plan would allow the network to be documented in a manner consistent with the datum modernization efforts of the
NGS and allow the control points to be utilized moving forward. We also believe that by utilizing this plan anyone needing
access to the control points will have multiple ways of accessing the data and ensure that everyone working within the
network will all be utilizing the same control points and reduce the work load of the county to tie all of the work in the TOV
to one network.
The description of our proposed plan above is broad in scope and does not get into the details of the project so I am
available to discuss any details of the plan if you need further clarifications.
Regards,
Matt Nichols, PLS, CFEDS

The purpose of this item is to:
Provide Town Council with an update on the Parking and Mobility Task Force (PAMTF)
discussions regarding mobility and winter parking
Provide recommendations for winter 2022-2023
Request Town Council direction regarding next steps
II. BACKGROUND
The Parking & Mobility Task Force or a previous version was formed in 1999 in an advisory
capacity and has been enacted through the years at the direction of the Vail Town Council. In
reinstating the Task Force, the role of the 11-member group is to provide advisory input and
recommendations on parking, transit and mobility services and operations. Representatives are as
follows:
Representing the retail community – Hilary Magner
Representing the restaurant community -- Mike Dunlap and Brian Butts
Representing the lodging community – Chad Stephens
Representing the community-at-large – Mike Griffin, and Ross Sappenfield
Representing Sustainability Community – Kira Koppel
Representing Vail Resorts – Beth Howard and Jeff Babb
Representing the Vail Town Council - Jonathan Staufer and Jen Mason
The Task Force is supported by various departments and agencies to assist with technical
expertise.
III. TASK FORCE ISSUE DISCUSSIONS
The PAMTF convened a total of five times over the summer meeting 5/24, 7/1, 7/14, 7/26, and 8/5.
Discussions began with the how the parking experience of last season was perceived. It was
August 16, 2022 - Page 88 of 159

agreed this is not an experience to be repeated in future years. The task force began with the
concept of mobility verses focusing on driving private vehicles which require parking. Focusing on
mobility and our future in general, as well as broader goals and Town specific goals and action
areas of focus identified by the council of which mobility is a part of. The task force performed a
detailed review of parking and transit statistics for Vail and other identified jurisdictions similar to
Vail and discussed various management techniques or approaches to address the opportunities,
constraints issues and concerns and how mobility should be viewed for not only the upcoming
2022-2023 winter season but also where the town should strive for in the future. (Agendas
attached) An overview of some of the discussion topics is presented below:
Initial Mobility Discussion and how Mobility relates to each of the Town Council four areas
of focus.
Economy
Environment
Experience
Community
Discussion regarding a paradigm shift in how Mobility is viewed going forward and some
opportunities to think in a bigger context as an overall management strategy
Mobility choices are a part of everyday decisions and the impact on our community from our
mobility choices.
Ability to drive new mobility markets and choices
Discuss the future and what opportunities are here and coming, should we lead where we
can or slowly roll out change
Goals, Policies and Guidelines
The topics discussed included reviewing the town’s parking management, goals and objectives (as
well as the Town’s Sustainability Goal regarding greenhouse gas reductions.
2021-2022 Winter Season Review
The winter of 2021-2022 was a record year over the previous 22 seasons with respect to overflow
days on the South Frontage Road
35 overflow days – 2018-2019
25 overflow days – 2019-2020
35 overflow days – 2020-2021
53 overflow days – 2021-2022
15 overflow days – Town Council Goal
It was established we would need to reduce demand during the peak hours of the peak days, by
300-400 cars parking to reach the Town’s frontage road goals (less than 5 % of transaction
demand). In addition to meet our Greenhouse Gas reduction goal of 25% by 2025 we would need
to reduce overall use by up to another 10% of all transactions, not only peak periods.
The Town of Vail provides parking for 90% of our demand days and manages the remaining 10%
of overflow.

Pricing
The Task Force also recognized the need to assess data on user patterns regarding generic user
groups around time of use, location, as well as duration to be able to better monitor the results of
change and inform future decisions. The work began with review of the overall use data and
identified daily data based on demand.
An initial philosophy to investigate a pay as you use verses our previous upfront pass system was
thought to keep front and center the cost of use and what alternatives should one consider verses
signing up for one mode for the entire season.
Review of various Recent Survey Results
The following were reviewed 2022 Vail Community Survey results, VRI guest experience survey for
the last ski season, the TOV 2017 Parking intercept survey conducted by RRC, the Eagle County
Climate Action Collaborative Transportation Survey of Spring 2020, the regional transit authority
working group employee commuter survey of early winter of 2021 and the I-70 Coalition and CDOT
Bustang/Snowstang survey as well as I-70 User Focus Group survey conducted this last winter.
Peer Resort Review Pricing and Parking Products
The Task Force reviewed peer resort pricing from last winter and found that Vail’s pricing actually
lags some of the other resorts. We looked at pricing of the first 0 to 2 hours and for the full day.
Vail Free Parking and Outlying Parking
The majority of winter parking transactions in Vail’s parking structures are free. Of the 532,000
ticketed transactions occurring during a winter season, 210,088 are for 2 hours or less with 57 %
occurring during the paid period and 43 % during the free period after 3 p.m. town has recorded an
additional 81,201 of transactions of more than 2 hours which occur during the free after 3 program.
Regarding both the close in lots which had restriction on users and the parking in West Vail, it was
determined that this inventory of over 400 close in spots 150 were available on almost all of the
peak days of the 265 western spaces besides the two largest overflow days they never filled on the
other peak or overflow days during last season There is a desire by the Task Force to have these
areas utilized more often, thus freeing up spaces in the structures, which, in turn, reduces the
number of cars potentially parked on the South Frontage Road during overflow days.
CDOT Frontage Road parking
The current rules of the frontage road parking leases were discussed, as well as the possibility to
have charged parking on the frontage roads. Initial conversations with CDOT would allow this to
happen with the Town required to reimburse CDOT revenues in excess of our operating costs.
Paid parking would be a tool to change behavior to utilize available parking.
Rates and Passes Discussions
Rates were reviewed in up to four different demand scenarios along with various mobility pass
users offset of the retail rate. The initial 0- 2 hour free period and the free after 3 PM program were
discussed and if these should be altered to address issues that were identified. It was discussed if
“Free after 3” should be “Arrive after 5” as well as including an evening rate. Lessoning the 0-2
hour period was also reviewed as a step to decrease demand.
The discussion revolved around being proactive, seeking an overall approach to the issues and
being cognizant to the overwhelming demand that resulted last year and the overarching goals we
set for both parking and sustainability.
August 16, 2022 - Page 90 of 159

The overall framework for the pricing starts with the retail price of the most desirable parking, then
setting other areas at a price to encourage demand from the higher priced area to move to the
lowest priced area.
A desire to fill the least priced areas first and the highest priced areas last based on how the
market is priced
Charge for overflow parking on all days. It had become common knowledge arriving a little later on
our busiest days almost guaranteed free parking and drove additional parking demand.
In addition, consider paid evening parking on the frontage road at a rate higher than the structures
to discourage users to continue to park out on the road when there is more secure parking
available.
Paid parking at parks and trailheads to manage these areas for unattended consequences during
peak periods
Carpool Implementation
There was quite a bit of discussion concerning carpools and how carpools are managed. There
was a strong desire that carpool incentives are part of the overall solution and be implemented this
year. The discussion revolved about some of the logistical issues but at the same time the need to
implement during our peak periods.
Timing
Our ability to move forward with the many areas discussed.
The Town of Vail has rolled out a new parking system. Some of the features will allow us to provide
some various ways to manage our systems better. However, there is still some significant due
diligence and proofing the actual outcome beyond initial discussions with our vendor
Comprehensive Communication and Media
It is paramount a comprehensive communication, branding and media plan is part of the rollout
including:
Information is easy to understand
Translates to all platforms both graphically and text
Print, Web page, mobile devices and easy to connect IP address links for others to use
Initial marketing which includes significant outreach to partners
Ability for users to have information to plan ahead
Ability to receive alerts, notices, provide real time information
Clear and concise messaging at the point of entry and payment
Clear messaging and wayfinding to direct parkers to their best option
Possible one stop app for all mobility needs
It is constant communication not only at the beginning but throughout the season and we ask our
partners to assist in spreading the message on the changes. In the past we may have only
updated our information and communicated it at the beginning of the season.
Incentives for Preferred Travel Behavior and other Mobility Enhancements
• Discounts for parking at lower demand facilities and on off-peak days
• Reduced/Free ECO bus fares on peak days, still researching
• Carpool incentives however there is a lack of automated management options
• E-bike share access/discounts for next summer, possible winter
• Increased TOV bus service on peak days
o East Vail increase frequency from 15 minutes to 8-10 minutes daytime
o Includes Ford Park as well
o West Vail South increase frequency to 15 minutes peak direction daytime
o Explore other route peak and evening frequencies including Red Sandstone

IV. RECOMMENDED WINTER 2022-2023 PARKING PROGRAM
The task force recommended a combined management focus on behavior modification to optimize
the resources available, and to reduce the demand on parking through dynamic pricing while
providing alternative mobility choices for users. The task force felt that the dynamic pricing should
look at our peak periods. However, the need to be simple and easily communicated this first year
was critical and therefore, even though the data may have suggested up to 4 distinct periods that
could be managed differently, it was agreed to have 2 periods this first year. The most important
part was to have the days identified upfront and well communicated to allow individuals to plan.
In addition, it was important to recognize all users are not the same and have different mobility
needs and potential impacts from revised management techniques.
The overall parking supply was divided into 5 distinct areas. The Vail Village and Lionshead
structures, the close in managed lots of Vail Athletic Field, Ford Park and Red Sandstone School in
addition to the Vail Municipal lot which has been available on weekends and holidays. The western
parking options of Donovan Park, Frontage Road parking across from the West Vail commercial
area and the parking near the Chamonix bus stop west of the Fire Station 3. Frontage overflow
parking and finally trailhead and park parking. The town manages all these areas in some fashion.
It should be noted that the town sets the parking market, not only for public parking but influences
pricing for private parking spaces as well. In addition, the town can influence the market for
shuttles, transit as well as private rideshare opportunities.
Retail or drive-up rates were established for all of these scenarios. From the retail rates, specific
rates were then established for our defined user groups. The rates also maintained some of the
features most local’s care about during off peak times, while shifting away from such a strong
message of free parking, to a message of emphasizing choices and costs of coming to Vail during
peak days by car. Enhancing and providing alternatives to the message of no free parking
regarding the general public.
The Task Force makes the following recommendations when considering all the variables, policies
and dynamics of mobility and the Vail parking program: reducing demand, the desire to encourage
transit and carpooling use, discourage driving and have parking policies more aligned with our
environmental policies, while recognizing the need to cover costs of increased parking operations
and transit services and providing other enhancements. and continued Travel Demand
Management messages and programs, while considering the impact on our economic drivers
In reviewing various rate structures as they related to the upcoming ski season, colors were used
to distinguish between the different severity of the day, similar to the Fire Danger rating scale for
forests. Red days were the peak and green days are the non-peak days once we settled on two
rates.

IV. RECOMMENDED NEXT STEPS
It is recognized we have discussed many changes that could be implemented. Some will require a
much deeper dive and actual demonstration beyond a reasonable doubt the concepts as initially
discussed with our technology providers can be successfully implemented. In addition to that, even
though we had representation of the various users, and demographics of those users, the public
has not weighted in yet and we expect to go seek out input on the recommendations that have
been discussed by the Vail Parking and Mobility Task Force. In addition, there are costs as well as
resources and actual execution of improvements which need to be completed prior to the start of
the season. Our ability and limitations of which plan and program components that we are able to
execute this year and which we are not able to successfully demonstrate we will be able to carry
out as planned needs to be fully pursued and finalized. All of above will be taken into account as
we review all the input, logistics, and execution to ensure success in the final programs offered.
Staff will provide cost and budget projections on the final recommended plan. If there are items the
council would like included, please provide those items and staff can work on bringing back the
necessary information. The task force will convene at least once more prior to returning to the
council at its September evening meeting regarding a final program for this year.
.
VI. ACTION REQUESTED
Provide direction to the staff and the PAMTF on the information presented as well as provide
feedback on the issues regarding any additional information which would be useful from the Task
Force as the Town Council will be asked to decide on the winter 2022-2023 parking and mobility
program in September.
VII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Town Council provide input, direction and issues the council would like the
Parking and Mobility Task Force to address in order to make a final recommendation to the Vail
Town Council to adopt at a regular evening meeting in September for the upcoming winter 2022-
2023 ski season.

TO: Town Council
FROM: Ryan Kenney, Police Commander
DATE: July 28, 2022
SUBJECT: E- Delivery Program Full Implementation
I. SUMMARY
The purpose of this memorandum is to codify the Town’s E-Vail Courier delivery pilot program
and transition its full implementation, as recommended by the Loading and Delivery Work
Group. This includes its funding, and updates to regulations related to dismount zones and the
pedestrian mall.
II. BACKGROUND
At the direction of Town Council, a Loading and Delivery Work Group was created in 2019. It
includes the following members and departments: Town Manager, Deputy Town Manager, Town
Clerk, Police, Fire, Finance, Public Works, Environmental, Transportation, Communications,
Community Development, and Vail Resorts. It launched the E-Vail Courier delivery pilot program
that has been in operation since November of 2021.
The program is now operating with 1 dockmaster, 4 delivery drivers and 2 low speed electric
vehicles (LSEV’s). The program is servicing 40 businesses which is a total of 18 trucks. The
program has expanded to include deliveries to businesses on E. Meadow Dr. including La Bottega
and La Nonna. Christmas week had the highest volume of goods when the program delivered
26,000 pounds of goods and 90 kegs in one day. Currently the program is averaging between
30,000 and 40,000 pounds a day with busy days topping 60,000. On Thursdays alone, the
program delivers 20,000 pounds of kegs into the village. The pounds of goods translate into
$30,000 to $50,000 worth of products with heavy days topping $70,000. The staffing and
infrastructure have proven sufficient to handle the current volume.
The E-delivery pilot program will end September 30th. With the data that has been collected and
the success of the current operational plan, the Work Group feels confident that the full
implementation of the pilot program will become a permanent success. Based on the current
volume of goods coming into the Village, a budget of $1.3 million per year is projected for full
implementation. The budget includes additional manpower and infrastructure to process all
deliveries to Vail Village.
August 16, 2022 - Page 120 of 159
Town of Vail Page 2
III. FUNDING
The annual budget includes start-up capital expenditures of $100K for the purchase of equipment
needed to expand the program to cover Vail Village. Removing those expenses along with
expenses tied to infrastructure, bring an annual operational budget closer to $1.2 million per year.
To fund full implementation, the Work Group suggests the following funding:
1. Loading Dock Fee
A proposed loading dock fee would be charged for delivery businesses that will access
any loading dock in the Village or Lionshead. The loading dock fee would be charged on
an annual basis through a permit process managed by the police department. The
proposed fee is a tiered system based on several factors such as number of delivery
days/week, number of delivery locations in Lionshead/Vail Village, time for delivery (at the
dock), and size (per axle) of truck. The tier system ensures that businesses would not be
overburdened, and the dock permit fees are representative of the business.
Assigning each tier would be based on the following point system:
• Number of days per week: 1 day = 1 point, 2 - 3 days = 2 points, and 3 or more days = 3
points.
• Number of delivery locations: 0 - 12 = 1 point, and 12+ = 2 points
• Amount of time spent making deliveries (at the dock): 0 - 1/2 hour = 1 point, and 1/2 hour
or longer = 2 points.
• Size of trucks (per axel): Van = 1 point, less than 3 axles = 2 points, and 3 or more axles
= 3 points.
Points earned Tier Annual Fee
10 or greater 1 $27,000
($2,250/mo)
8-9 2 $18,000
($1,500/mo)
6-7 3 $12,000
($1,000/mo)
Less than 6 4 $3,000
($250/mo)
Businesses wanting a dock permit would fill out an application determining the tier each
business is in. The information would be verified by the police department and the Town-
approved contractor or sent back to the business for more information. When the
application is approved, the Town would send the business an invoice that can be paid
directly to the Finance Department.
As proposed, the above fee schedule is estimated to generate approximately
$600,000/year.

2. Town Subsidy
In addition to the $100,000 start-up capital needs, the Town would also subsidize annual
operations by approximately $600,000 from the General Fund. This is in addition to the
town’s investment of $620,000 to cover the full cost of the 12-month pilot program.
IV. LOAD AND DELIVERY CHANGES
1. Vail Town Code Amendments
The Work Group prepared updates to the Vail Town Code to amend Title 7, Chapter 4,
and create new Chapters 11 and 12. The changes are summarized below.
• 7-4-4, prohibits EPAMDs (Electronic Personal Assistive Mobility Device) from
certain areas.
• 7-11, codifies the Pedestrian Mall Act including defining the pedestrian malls and
outlining exceptions to vehicular traffic.
• 7-12, codifies loading and delivery maps, operation, and funding of last mile
delivery. This includes permitting of delivery companies and implementation of
loading dock permit fee as well as an annual loading and delivery fee from
businesses.
2. Maps
The load and delivery maps have been changed to reflect proposed changes to the
regulations identified by the Work Group. The changes are listed below.
• A vehicle direction of travel has been established.
• Additional parking for service vehicles has been identified.
• High volume commercial carrier zones are defined.
• No delivery vehicle access on Bridge St.
• Business owners or employees will have close-in vehicle access to designated
areas from 09:00AM to 11:00AM when actively loading or unloading.
• Ski/snowboard tuning will have access twice daily 05:00AM to 8:00AM and
again from 5:00PM to 6:00PM.
V. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL
The Loading and Delivery Work Group is asking Council to approve the budget, ordinance and
maps for full implementation in October.

The concept for E-Vail Courier has its roots in a Town of Vail planning document dated
August 1973. Excerpts from The Vail Plan identify the ongoing problem and a
revolutionary solution for its time:
“The obvious problem as one attempts to walk within the town is, with the
exception of a portion of Bridge Street in the Village and the plaza area of
Lionshead, that it is literally impossible to walk without conflict with moving autos,
parked autos, or unloading trucks…
“Service trucks entering into pedestrian areas to deliver materials to stores and
restaurants is not a desirable process for the pedestrian areas will suffer in quality
by the presence of large trucks. It is recommended that a fleet of small electric
vehicles be used as the eventual replacement for the trucks.”
--The Vail Plan, 1973
