RE: Proposal Response - RFP for Recreation Center and Parks Master Plans

Dear Mr. Olinger and Members of the Selection Committee,

Wenk Associates has been honored to work with the Town of Berthoud over the last few months on the development of the Berthoud Reservoir Master Plan. Through that project, we’ve been able to see the excitement building within the community, the vested interest of the PORT Committee, and the Town Staff’s continued support and priority for Berthoud’s parks and open spaces. It’s an exciting time for the Town to continue the momentum that it has started and work to build community support for future parks and recreation projects in preparation for the November ballot initiative.

The Recreation Center and Parks Master Plans is an important next step in developing a connected and cohesive park system for Berthoud. The five future park spaces - Berthoud Town Park, Waggener Farm Park, Richardson Park, Knievel Park, and Bein Park – along with the recreation center and outdoor aquatics facility, will each be a critical component of the park system providing unique and invaluable amenities for many demographic groups within the Town, including children, families, singles, and active seniors. To be successful each space must complement each other, serve the recreational needs of the community, provide a variety of active and passive uses, and capture the small town culture and values that attract people to live in Berthoud. Each park and facility is a critical foundation for a unique and valued park system for the Town.

To effectively create park spaces that will be destinations and landmarks in the community for generations, the master plans must be driven by the community’s vision and recreational needs. It must provide a practical strategy for implementing recommended park improvements. Therefore, we have selected a team based on their ability to fulfill the project’s work scope, successful working relationships together, and experience with the Town. Our team includes the trifecta of Barker Rinker Seacat Architects (BRS), Water Technologies Inc. (WTI) pool designers, and Ballard*King & Associates Ltd operations consultants who have collaborated on over 50 recreation center/facilities projects in Colorado and across the US. FCI Constructors is a local contractor that has experience working with Wenk and BRS and who have experience with similar projects. And finally, Wenk and JVA civil engineers have an on-going relationship with Parks and Public Works, respectively.

We couldn’t be more excited to continue working with the Town on these important future spaces and to continue this momentum together. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach us at 303.628.0003 or [email protected].

Sincerely,

Nicole Horst, PLA, ASLA Principal-In-Charge 303-628-0003 - [email protected] Table of Contents Approach 1 Fees 5 Experience + Project Team Qualifications 6 Standard Contract 39

The master plans for the recreation center, aquatics facility, and the five park sites is a tremendous opportunity to create a unique park system for the Town of Berthoud as it grows into the future. Each park is important to the larger vision for the Town to develop vibrant public spaces and amenities for the community to gather, play, recre- ate, and celebrate. Below we discuss a few challenges to the process and how we will address them, as well as reasons why we feel our team is best suited to meeting these challenges:

We are a ‘Berthoud-Knowledgeable’ Team.

We have assembled a team that is familiar with the Town and that has the capability and experience to respond quickly to the project’s needs. Wenk Associates and JVA have an on-going relationship with Parks and Public Works, respectively. BRS prepared the previous Berthoud Recreation Study and is known nationally for their recreation center expertise. Aldo Coronado, who now works with WTI, prepared the evaluation of the existing outdoor pool and can be a great resource to the team. This experience will allow us to begin quickly without a lot of start-up effort from Town Staff.

We build community support for implementation by creatively engaging the public and other stakeholders throughout the process.

Perhaps the most important challenge of the project will be to meet the aggressive schedule and build community support for the November ballot initiative, which requires an implementation strategy and overall master plan. To stay on target, we have developed an approach that meets the critical milestone of the August 21 Town Board of Trustees meeting.

Weekly Work Sessions with the Town Staff & PORT Committee Updates Our approach will be to host Weekly Work Sessions with the Town Staff for the Kick-Off and during the month of July, with updates at key points to the PORT committee. The work sessions will identify goals and objectives, master plan strategies, and development and review of concept alternatives that meet the community’s needs.

For the first work session, which is the Kick-Off Meeting, we will begin with a current evaluation of the 2016 PORT Plan recommendations and identify opportunities for revisions or considerations based on market analysis, revenue opportunities, operation and maintenance strategies, and Town priorities. Goals and objectives will be identified for deeper dives. For example, we may consider the pros and cons of co-locating the recreation center and outdoor aquatics facility or pursue the advantages and disadvantages of synthetic turf and natural grass over the long term lifecycle.

In the second work session, we will evaluate site opportunities and constraints to provide the framework for developing character and programming for each site.

In the third and fourth work session, we will vet park program locations using quick conceptual alternatives to determine a preferred draft plan.

As part of the Weekly Work Sessions, BRS will facilitate an Owner Decision Matrix (ODM) for the Recreation Cen- ter, a unique tool that BRS has developed specifically for their Recreation Center projects. This scheduling document is created for each project and lays out for their client most of the major decisions that must be made over the course of the design process. They have developed the idea of the 3 C’s as a part of the ODM. The three C’s represent the three stages in making a decision. The first step is the “Consider” stage where they introduce the team to a decision point, be it a material choice or an alternative design approach. At the next workshop they will discuss the issue in depth, having had some time to understand the implications of the decision. They call this “Confirm” the decision and the following meeting they would “Commit” to the decision. This allows the client to

1 have enough time to fully understand the issues, research and consider alternatives and finally commit to the decision. The goal with this tool is to focus the client meeting agendas and decisions to relative topics for each stage of the design process. This keeps the process moving in a forward direction without backtracking due to making hasty or uninformed decisions.

Public Engagement Once a preferred draft concept for each site is developed with Town Staff, and the PORT Committee has been updated, we will engage the community to identify priorities and preferred elements within the park frameworks at the Community Open House and through the Online Survey. For the Berthoud Reservoir project, we had over- whelming community participation (with over 130 responses) through the open house and on-line survey. We would use a similar structure and approach to reach out to the community for their input, ideas, and support. Their feedback will then help inform the final concept plans, phasing priorities, and feasibility.

We create plans that are feasible, constructible, and maintainable.

Over 70% of our work is in the public realm for Cities and Towns. We understand that projects require vision yet must be practical in order to get funded, built, and maintained. The implementation of the master plan and recreation center will likely be built in phases. We will work with the Town Staff and stakeholders to identify project phasing and management alternatives. This phasing will be organized by year to anticipate capital improvement budgeting needs.

Cost Estimating & Project Phasing As with most of our projects, phasing is critical to getting projects funded and built. A great asset to our team is FCI Constructors, a local contractor with experience working with BRS and Wenk on similar projects. We will work together to provide an overall cost estimate and a phasing plan that identifies logical construction sequencing and associated costs based on community input. The phasing plan will consider funding opportunities, the goals and objectives, and community impact.

 Community Meeting/Presentation P PORT Committee Meeting Ï Town Staff Meeting/Work Session B Board of Trustees 2 Operations We know that the long-term management costs can be two to three times that of the capital construction costs over the life of the project. Based on the conceptual design, Ballard*King will develop a preliminary operations expenditure budget for the recreation center, aquatics center, and the parks, as well as a projected revenue estimate based on a probable operating and fee structure for the facilities. As a team, we will work hand-in-hand with Ballard*King to identify programming locations, revenue opportunities, material selections, and operation strategies that will reduce and provide realistic expectations for long term maintenance and operation costs.

We develop visions for each park site that contribute to an overall, cohesive park system.

Each park site is unique given its inherent character, topography, views, and natural resources. The visions for each site should enhance these natural qualities and unveil the site’s potential as a community resource and public space whether it be for sports, recreation, or leisure. To create a successful overall master plan for the Town, each park vision should contribute to the overall park system through connectivity, variety of experiences, and unique character.

Not only will it be important to communicate to the public the unique identity of each site, but also how it fits into the bigger picture for the Town as it continues to grow and develop. Clearly understood graphics that locate different design options in their proposed context in the Town is important to clearly communicate design intent. Plan graphics and supporting imagery are included in our base fee to get to the August 21 meeting. As a supplemental service, we have included a cost for additional illustrative perspectives to help communicate the vision. These before/after visualizations could be prepared after August 21 to further convey the designs to the pubic. Examples of these types of images are included in the Experience Section of this proposal.

Salisbury Park North is a 90-acre addition to an existing equestrian and baseball complex. Salisbury Park North will be Parker’s ‘Central Park’ and will create a true Regional Park for Parker residents, providing access to, and opportunities for, a variety of active and passive uses. The Master Plan compliments the existing facilities and provides for the additional recreational needs of the community, including ballfields, synthetic turf multi-use fields, a community events/ performance lawn, adventure play area, splash river, multiple picnic areas, and improved access to a beautiful and unique portion of the Cherry Creek Greenway.

The master plan process included an extensive public involvement process that gathered community feedback from over 1,500 residents, and included cost estimating and phasing for the preferred plan. Conceptual, digital renderings of park elements were produced to build excitement and garner support for the project.

11 Lowry Air Force Base Redevelopment Parks and Open Space System Planning

Client: Lowry Redevelopment Authority - Denver, Colorado Reference: Tom Berger - Director of Construction (303) 326-9917 [email protected]

Closure of the 1,900-acre Lowry Air Force Base in central Denver afforded the cities of Denver and Aurora the opportunity to redevelop the site as a mixed-use community organized around 230 acres of parks and open space. Wenk Associates was responsible for master planning and final design for the phased build-out of the park and open space system. The system design incorporates contemporary approaches to water conservation, green infrastructure, and emerging recreational patterns of use.

Completed phased projects include:

50-acre, 7-field Athletic Complex that provides year-round fields for adult and youth recreation and a 3-field Little League baseball facility. The complex is organized around a sports boulevard, an integrated auto/pedestrian spine linking that athletic facilities. 50-acre Great Lawn that provides event gathering spaces, picnic areas, a themed playground, and a monumental sundial that terminates the entry parkway to the development. Primary use areas are defined by a series of natural areas along a daylighted creek at the park perimeter. 52-acre Wetlands Park that provides ecological habitat and passive recreational space for the surrounding community while functioning as a regional water Above - The Lowry Redevelopment parks and open space system quality and detention facility for more than 1,800 includes four areas planned to have a distinct character and use. acres of the Lowry Redevelopment project.

Client: City of Longmont, Colorado Reference: Paula Fitzgerald, RLA Parks and Open Space Project Manager (303) 651-8448 - paula.fitzgerald@ ci.longmont.co.us

The City of Longmont needed a place for organized sports and leisure recreation, as well as a place for community events that would serve the growing southwest quadrant of the city. Wenk As- sociates led the master plan of the new 80-acre community park which included the seamless integration of multi-use fields for soccer, la- crosse, and cricket with regional detention for the 100-year storm events. Other amenities include baseball fields, a disc golf course, skate park, water play areas, and a sledding hill. The park will serve as the primary gathering place for southwest Longmont, connecting the neighborhood with future and existing trails. Located adjacent to two schools, the plan integrates trails and tennis courts for joint use. Wenk led the first phase design and construction which was completed in 2014.

Top - A pedestrian promenade was designed to be a flexible space, able to accommodate day-today use as well as large community events.

Client: City of Denver, CO Reference: Gordon Robertson, Director - Park Planning, Design, and Construction Department of Parks and Open Space (720) 913-0615 [email protected]

Parkfield Lake Regional Park is an 82-acre park located in a culturally diverse, park-poor neighborhood in Denver. Wenk Associates was awarded the third phase of design to complete a master plan, design documents and construction for 35 acres of active recreation areas. The third phase complements the available indoor recreation programs at the existing Montbello Recre- ation Center, and provides outdoor recreation opportunities for the center and the neighborhoods.

Amenities include multiple ball fields, a regional playground, court sports facilities, a dog park, skate park, splash play area, amphitheater, and several multi- functional gathering spaces. Large areas of restored prairie dunes and artificial turf playing fields allowed maximum use of the site for league soccer, football, and baseball/softball while meeting the City’s strict requirement to minimize water use and maintenance. Other features of the park included the use of recycled irrigation water, low maintenance irrigation and non- irrigated areas, and stormwater infiltration to minimize runoff.

Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture (BRS) Recreation Center Planning

Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture has been recognized nationally as a leader in the strategic planning, master planning, programming and design of community facilities.

Designing great places for communities has been the driving passion of Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture since its early beginnings more than 42 years ago. With six principals and a total firm of 40, and offices in Denver and Dallas, our mission and commitment are the same today as they were then. By putting the client’s needs first and remaining true to architectural excellence, we have been at the forefront of innovative design. We have assisted more than 225 organizations across the country in the strategic planning, master planning, programming and design of community facilities.

Recreation centers, active adult centers, athletic complexes, libraries, city halls, cultural and performing arts centers, office buildings, visitor facilities and chapels round out the collection of projects we design. The thread that runs through them all is our commitment to an interactive process that includes our clients in the design and development of their project. Decision makers must often navigate through a minefield of stakeholder groups and agency review, trying to balance the needs of all. We help facilitate “best-value” decisions unique to each organi- zation. How do we do it? We wear many hats. We’re artists and analysts, mapmakers and MacGyvers, sages and band leaders, shepherds and scouts. We encourage potential clients to contact past and current clients to learn the value of a BRS-led project.

BRS designs buildings and places that bring people together. We get our inspiration from the communities and clients with whom we work.

Wenk Associates has had prior experience working with BRS on the affordable housing project ‘Redacted’ in Denver’s River North, and design for a hotel in Breckenridge.
