STUDY SESSION NOTES CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE, COLORADO
Hybrid - Virtual Meeting
April 18, 2022
Mayor Bud Starker called the Study Session to order at 6:30 p.m.
This meeting was conducted both as a virtual meeting and hybrid, where some
members of the Council or City staff were physically present at the Municipal building,
and some members of the public attended in person as well. A quorum of members
(eight) of Council were present in Council Chambers for this session.
Mayor Starker welcomed the Council, other elected officials, staff and interested
citizens.
Mayor Starker also explained the virtual/hybrid meeting format, how citizens will have
the opportunity to be heard, and the procedures and policies to be followed.
Council members present Scott Ohm, Amanda Weaver (virtually), Judy Hutchinson,
Korey Stites (virtually), Valerie Nosler Beck, Janeece Hoppe, Leah Dozeman, and
Rachel Hultin.
Also present: City Clerk, Steve Kirkpatrick; City Attorney, Gerald Dahl; City Manager
Patrick Goff; Director of Administration, Allison Scheck; Chief of Police, Chris Murtha;
WR Police Department; Assistant to the City Manager, Marianne Schilling; Director of
Parks and Recreation, Karen O’Donnell; Director of Community Development, Ken
Johnstone; Planning Manager, Lauren Mikulak; Senior Neighborhood Planner, Jeff Hirt,
interested citizens and guests.
Public’s Right to Speak
Todd Young, 6930 W. 38th Ave. Came to advocate for ADU’s that extended family
members might live in now, and perhaps in the future. In his family there are a number
of elder care challenges which would be eased if the elderly members of his family
could live in an ADU on his property. We have been in Wheat Ridge for over 30 years
and own a business here. We would like to have the opportunity to house our relatives
on our property.
Bob Brazell, 3830 Carr St. – Came to oppose an ordinance to allow ADU. When people
buy a house, they know the zoning for their property. So now you want anyone who
happens to live here to violate the zoning ordinances because their rights now
supersede the rights of the adjoining property owners and the entire neighborhood. You
people are all off base on this proposed change to allow ADU.
Note about Wheat Ridge Speaks:
Members of the public may visit the Wheat Ridge Speaks website and enter written
comments of up to 1,000 words on any Council agenda item. The deadline for the
public to submit comments is 12:00 Noon Mountain Time on the day of a Council
session so that Council members, other elected officials and City Staff have time to
review the comments before the meeting on Monday evening.
The City Clerk’s Office transcribes those Wheat Ridge Speaks comments into these
minutes, placing each comment along with the record for that agenda item.
1. Let’s Talk Resident Engagement Program Update
Discussion of this item began at approximately 6:38 pm.
Issue
The purpose of this study session agenda item is to update City Council on the Let’s
Talk Resident Engagement Program and to:
1. Share detailed reports from the recently completed Anderson Park and Fruitdale
neighborhood resident engagement “blitzes”; and
2. Provide an update on the Let’s Talk Program Work Plan following completion of
neighborhoods five and six of ten
Staff Reports
Senior Neighborhood Planner Jeff Hirt described how the Let’s Talk Resident
Engagement Program launched in September 2020 and has now completed
engagement “blitzes” in six of ten neighborhoods.
The program continues to affirm the 2019 Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy (NRS)
finding that there is a high demand among residents for this type of focused
engagement. From October 2021 to March 2022, City staff heard from 232 Anderson
Park and Fruitdale residents. Since the program launched, City staff have heard from
over 1,100 residents in the six completed neighborhoods.
Councilmembers had questions and comments:
Councilmembers asked detailed questions about several topics, engaging in discussion
among themselves and with staff, who answered their questions in detail:
• Thanked the staff for their report and more so for their hard work.
• How has Let’s Talk Wheat Ridge been received? (Very well and growing.)
• This good work grew out of the NRS report and CM are very glad to get the information and to see that the NRS recommendation has borne fruit.
• This process has evolved well in response to actual interactions with residents and will only get better from here. Kudos to the staff for the excellent work and ongoing efforts.
• CM also expressed their gratitude for the informative and valuable information this program has gathered and will continue to collect.
• How is the data from the different stages of the process analyzed and interpreted to determine which priorities, short- and long-term, residents highlight?
• Staff reported that they share the results with other departments and then return to the neighborhoods to address the details of their concerns or requests and
how to respond effectively.
• What are the next steps in 2022 and into 2023?
• Does the staff begin the process in a neighborhood with mass post card mailing
before we move to live interactions and neighborhood meetings?
• Have you looked at what is the best way to gather more data from more residents?
• Some disappointment in the numbers, the percentages of residents who participate in this kind of program. Staff reported that our response rates mirror
what municipalities see in other parts of the state and country.
2. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) – Ordinance Update
Discussion of this item began at approximately 7:18 pm
Issue
The ordinance defines terms related to ADUs and establishes regulations where there
currently are none. It also provides a pathway to legitimizing existing nonconforming or
unsanctioned dwelling units in some capacity. This memo also provides
recommendations on some issues where council asked for additional information.
Lastly, this memo poses additional questions and topics related to ADUs that were not
discussed at the November study session but arose as related issues.
Staff Reports
Director of Community Development, Ken Johnstone and Scott Cutler, Senior Planner,
spoke on the issue including prior action of the November 15, 2021, study session,
along with other proposed regulations, definitions, and code sections.
Councilmembers had questions and comments:
Staff came prepared to ask Council for guidance on seven different detailed questions
and potential issues related to any policy decisions or ordinances, and staff and CM
engaged in a detailed discussion of those seven questions. (Those questions appeared
in the Council Packet for this meeting.)
Those seven topics/questions dealt with specific zoning, policy and likely scenarios that
will develop for specific properties, especially certain unique or infrequently encountered
situations.
CM thanked staff for their presentation and their excellent preparation and groundwork.
The second issue addressed whether the primary residence should be owner occupied
on a property with an ADU.
The third question regarded parking, and Council’s guidance from 2021 to require at
least one additional off-street parking space for an ADU. Would Council consider an
exception on a case-by-case basis for streets that have curbs, gutters and wide streets?
Also, within the scope of the fourth question from staff was the issue of requiring
building code compliance for existing structures that the owner wants to license as an
ADU.
A detailed discussion of building code compliance for ADU followed, including several
specific situations (guest houses, fire code separation, new ADU construction, etc.) and
sections of the building code (setbacks, electrical, heating…).
The fifth question related to an ADU that is within the structure of the primary residence
(e.g., a finished basement) especially one that is now operating as a short-term rental
(STR) and the owner wants to convert that space to an ADU.
Question six related to attached vs. detached duplexes. The current code says that
duplexes must be attached. However, would Council like to allow an ADU as a
detached duplex on a lot that is already allowed by zoning (which would be R-2 and R-3
only).
The seventh issue concerned whether to create a single definition of ADU to avoid
confusion and simplify the regulations and code, and to adopt certain language such as
detached ADU vs. single-family vs. multi-family home.
A thorough discussion followed.
CM Nosler Beck asked Council to give staff advice on currently existing and non-
conforming, non-owner-occupied properties with ADU.
When an existing property has two dwellings that fit the criteria in the previous
paragraph, will we require that the owner occupy the primary residence going forward?
During and following lengthy, thorough and detailed discussions, CM Hultin and CM
Hoppe proposed several consensuses to provide staff guidance with respect to drafting
future Council actions:
1. Location permitted in zone district residential, agricultural, MU-N and new PRDs
2. Owner Occupancy Required
3. Have no parking requirement
4. Approach to existing ADU support staff recommendation to waive zone
requirements to a reasonable extent, provide compliance window of 2 years, stop
work order after 2 years with double permit fee
5. ADU defined as partial home rental in STR regulations
6. Detached duplexes/ tandem home will be moved to a future study session for
more discussion
7. Update outdated terminology of “family” when defining housing types and
household types and recommended by staff
8. Provide through administrative action a waiver for owner occupancy fornon-
conforming ADUs if the owner of said property can provide evidence that the
property has been a rental prior to the new regulations, waiver to expire upon
sale of the property
Consensuses attained.
3. Preferred Concept Designs for the “Green” on 38th Avenue
This agenda item was postponed to a future Study Session due to the lateness of
the hour upon completing Item 2, above.
Issue
The 38th Avenue Streetscape project has been a priority for City Council for over a
decade. While the redevelopment of the Green does not directly implement that priority,
it is a logical first step in extending streetscape improvements from the West 38 mixed-
use project and creating a public gathering space on the City’s main street and in the
heart of downtown. A consensus was reached by City Council in 2018 to engage a
designer to develop conceptual designs for the Green. Architerra Group was hired by
the City in August 2018. A comprehensive community engagement process (see
Attachments 1-3) was completed since that time to obtain feedback from key
stakeholders and the public. Based on that feedback, Architerra Group has created two
preferred design options which they will present to City Council at the April 18, 2022
study session for further discussion and direction.
4. Staff Report(s)
Discussion began at 10:03 pm,
Mr. Goff commented on National Night Out is scheduled for August. In other cities this
event is centered in neighborhoods, not city-wide. He asked whether Council would
support having a National Night Out in each Council district. Council favored this
suggestion.
5. Elected Officials’ Report(s)
CM Hoppe congratulated Alli Scheck on her selection as Colorado Deputy City Manager
of the Year.
CM Dozeman asked for everyone to continue to support Officer Allan Fisher as he
recovers from a knife attack while on duty. There are two ribbon cuttings this week:
• April 21 at 5:30 pm at American Home Mortgage
• April 22 at 10:30 am at Cosmos in Golds Marketplace.
CM Hultin thanked us for not bringing plastic water to our meetings. She bought a tree
at last Saturday’s tree sale, which was very successful. The 35th Avenue bike lane
comment is online, so please, comment. On Saturday evening the WR PD will hold an
open house in Council Chambers.
CM Weaver thanked everyone for including her and CM Stites online tonight.
The Mayor thanked everyone for a productive meeting, and encouraged us to drive,
cycle and walk carefully to protect one another.

Sergeant Steven Brooks and Detective Jose Van Veen to join him and accept them.
City Council Minutes May 9, 2022 page 2
He called upon all those living and working in Wheat Ridge, and upon all of our
community’s patriotic, civil and educational organizations, to observe them. Mayor
Starker recognized Police Officer Alan Fischer who survived a serious attack while on-
duty on March 13, 2022.
It is important that everyone know and understand the problems, duties, and
responsibilities of our police department, and that our local law enforcement agency
recognizes their duty to serve our community by safeguarding life and property, by
providing protection against violence and disorder, and by shielding the innocent
against deception, and the weak against oppression or intimidation.
Sergeant Brooks thanked everyone for the showing of support and said that it’s an
honor to accept them.
National Mental Health Month – May 2022 Mayor Starker invited a special guest up to the podium and by proclamation, declared
May as National Mental Health month. Where the City of Wheat Ridge is dedicated to
improving the health and wellbeing of its residents by ending stigma and focusing on the
integrated role of mental health in all our lives.
David Goff, CFO for Jefferson Center for Mental Health accepted the proclamation and
thanked the City of Wheat Ridge for recognizing May as mental health month. With a
great presence in the city, they are really proud to be part of the community.
National Public Works Week
Mayor Starker and Mayor Pro-Tem Hultin read the proclamation for National Public
Works Week where the public works services provided in our community are an integral
part of our resident’s everyday lives and the support of an understanding and informed
citizenry is vital to the efficient operation of public works systems and programs such as
streets and highways, traffic signals and signs, lighting, bridges, storm sewers,
drainage, and fleet.
Ron Clem accepted the proclamation on behalf of the men and women of the City of
Wheat Ridge Public Works Department, and he thanked everyone for the recognition.

being a former Colorado resident. Ms. Small spoke on items including her background
as a multi-media journalist and other skills.
Councilor Weaver introduced Ivy Price who is from a Phoenix area school and doing her
8th grade class project.
PUBLIC’S RIGHT TO SPEAK
None came to speak
Note about Wheat Ridge Speaks:
Members of the Public may visit the Wheat Ridge Speaks website and enter
written comments of up to 1,000 words on any Council agenda item. The deadline
for citizens to submit comments is 12:00 Noon Mountain Time on the day of a
Council session so that Council members, other elected officials and City Staff have
time to review the comments before the meeting on Monday evening.
The City Clerk’s Office transcribes those Wheat Ridge Speaks comments into
these minutes, placing each comment along with the record for that agenda item,
including items that address a public hearing (verbatim, if the comments do not
contain lascivious language or unlawful hate speech).
I ask that our city council support this rezoning because: 1. This project sits on a underused
commercial site. 2. The project wants to build units in the upper $300ks and obtainable housing is needed in our community for workforce and 1st time home buyers who want to live there NOT
corporate investors. 3. Density has a benefit that we do not talk about: it is more efficient in terms of water use even when you are adding multiple units. As we are in the 24th year of the
worst drought in 1200 years, this is a compelling reason to approve thoughtful density. 4. There
are home buyers who do not want big yards and big houses.
They want right sized homes and energy efficiencies. 5. Home ownership ought to be available to people who are in the work force with lower paying jobs. It will get increasingly harder for
businesses to hire people, schools to hire teachers, etc. if all affordable housing is well outside the
Denver Metro area. Our local economy is tied to making sure we have an inventory of housing at all
price points, not just the $400k to $1 million range. And really it has become the $600K to $1
million. A 1 bedroom house 2 doors down from us sold two weeks ago for $625,000. The most
important reason to approve projects like this and others? Thoughtful, energy and water efficient
density adds more residents which means more tax dollars to support our city. That is how we fund our city services and staff. As you represent all of Wheat Ridge, I ask city council to make a
decision that logically supports the future of Wheat Ridge. You must act for the future, not for the
past when people's idea of family and home were very different than in 2022.

PUBLIC HEARINGS AND ORDINANCES ON SECOND READING
Discussion began at approximately 7:25 PM
1. Council Bill No. 02-2022 - An Ordinance approving the rezoning of property
located at 7585 W. 32nd Avenue from Restricted-Commercial (R-C) to Planned
Residential Development (PRD)
CM Hoppe introduced Council Bill No. 02-2022.
Issue
The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change from Restricted-Commercial (R-
C) to Planned Residential Development (PRD) with approval of an Outline Development
Plan (ODP) for the development of fourteen single-family attached homes at 7585 W.
32nd Avenue. The zone change is compatible with surrounding land uses, provides for
housing options, and encourages improvement of the underutilized property.
Legal protests were received from neighboring property owners on three sides. As a
result of the legal protest, the zone change request will require a supermajority (6 votes
or more) for approval.
Mayor Starker opened the public hearing.
Deputy City Clerk Eaton assigned Ordinance 1732
Staff Presentation
Stephanie Stevens, a senior city planner spoke to the council on the issue. The
Planning Commission reviewed this request at a public hearing held on March 17, 2022,
and recommended approval by a vote of 5 to 2. The staff report with the proposed
ODP, and a copy of the Planning Commission minutes, were attached for reference and
made a part of the public record.
Ms. Stephens described the property as being located on the north side of W. 32nd
Avenue, one lot east of Wadsworth Boulevard. W. 32nd Avenue is a minor arterial that
runs east-west through the city; while Wadsworth Boulevard is a major arterial that runs
north-south. At last count (in 2018) there were about 6,700 trips per day on 32nd Avenue
in the location of the subject property.
The property is zoned Restricted Commercial (R-C) and has been zoned this way since
the City’s incorporation. Properties to the north, east, and south contain low density
residential uses and are zoned Residential-One (R-1), Residential-Two (R-2), and
Residential-One A (R-1A). Properties to the west are zoned Planned Commercial
Development (PCD), R-C, Neighborhood Commercial (N-C), and Residential-Three (R-
3) and contain retail, office, and multifamily uses. Crown Hill Cemetery is located further
to the southwest.
City Council Minutes May 9, 2022 page 5
Adam Vahling and representatives of the applicant gave a brief presentations on their
behalf, describing how the townhomes will best use the space for their residences, as it
is currently vacant and unused. He thinks that the proposed rezoning will allow for more
and better development of the property.
The Mayor reviewed the procedures for public comments.
Public Comment
(Comments started at 7:41 pm)
Comments were taken from multiple members of the public on both sides of the issue.
Opposing the issue were Jill Brunke, Sandra Tolve, George Butkovich, Catherine
Snyder, Bruce Johnson, Renee Bergstrom, Connie Lane, Chris and Elizabeth McCune,
Annette Tenorio, and Christopher White. From Zoom format: Mika Strom
Those opposed spoke to the following topics:
Outdated traffic count, belief of improper hearing notice posting, high density buildings,
non-compatible with existing homes in the area, not enough parking, overflow or cut-
through drivers, lighting issues, not affordable, conflict with emergency services,
sanitation and sewer systems, storm water retention, snow melt, among others.
Comments in Support of the issue were from WR Speaks, Morgan Richards and in
person was Nora Metz who is renting a room with family in WR and enjoys living in this
vibrant community. While going to school and having student debt, she is having a hard
time finding a good, affordable home in the city.
Margie Robinson who supports more affordable housing in the city and wants to make
WR a place where one can buy an affordable house.
Mayor Starker closed the public comment at 8:34 pm
Council Questions and comments
Councilmembers asked several detailed questions about options for zoning this
property, which staff and the applicant answered in detail.
(Timestamp 1:34)
CM Stites asked what the new townhomes will start selling for, if they will be deed
restricted or can some someone who purchases the property then turn around and flip
it.
CM Hoppe asked where people are coming up with the normal property prices that are
being spoken about. With the old listing being in the high $300k, where is that amount
put at today. She wants diversity in the housing market so we can have diversity in the
communities.
City Council Minutes May 9, 2022 page 6
CM Dozeman addressed many citizens concerns as possible and was worried that it
started out as 11 and then raised to 19 units which increased the density. She also
asked staff why it was recommended for PRD rather than R-3
CM Hultin asked what is widely used as the definitions for medium and high-density and
if the developer plans to have an HOA or a Metro district.
CM Ohm wanted confirmation that these are not condos, yet townhomes which was
confirmed. He then asked how tall a restricted commercial building was allowed to be,
any considerations for a right in-right out drive, and if the power lines were going to be
undergrounded.
CM Nosler Beck inquired to know more about irrigation and drainage that would have
potential impacts on other neighbors and where would snow be piled up. She also
wanted to learn how and where the property was posted.
CM Weaver confirmed that there were no posting on the property today.
Mr. Dahl stated that standard rules apply if the staff affirms to making posting notices,
those establish reasonable efforts and satisfies reasonable obligation for posting.
Other questions and comments included
• Does the bulk plane change for living spaces.
• City charter allows for up to 21 units per acre.
• Reconfiguring going to 14 units, what is the calculated square feet for living
spaces.
• What is the amount of visitor parking spaces.
• Is there going to be any afterhours, shared parking with the business location.
• Landscaping requirements for existing trees and proposed.
• Project duration to build out
• Where are the main entrances to the properties located at
Mayor Starker closed the public hearing.
Motion by CM Hoppe to approve Ordinance 02-2022, An ordinance approving the
rezoning of property located at 7585 W. 32nd Avenue from Restricted-Commercial (R-
C) to Planned Residential Development (PRD), on second reading, and that it takes
effect 15 days after final publication, for the following reasons:
1. The Planning Commission has recommended approval of the rezoning after
conducting a proper public hearing.
2. The proposed rezoning has been reviewed by the Community Development
Department which has forwarded its recommendation of approval.
3. The proposed rezoning has been found to comply with the criteria for review in
Section 26-303.D of the Code of Laws.
City Council Minutes May 9, 2022 page 7
Motion seconded by CM Hultin; discussion of the motion ensued.
The Motion fails due to lack of the required super-majority, vote is 4-4 with CM Stites,
Weaver, Dozeman, and Hutchinson voting no.
As a matter of procedure, Mr. Dahl asks for a second motion to deny the application
itself.
Motion by CM Weaver to deny Council Bill No. 02-2022, an ordinance approving the
rezoning of property located at 7585 W. 32nd Avenue from Restricted-Commercial (R-C)
to Planned Residential Development (PRD), for the reasons expressed by the
councilmembers voting against the project on the previous vote and direct the City
Attorney to prepare a Resolution of Denial, to be scheduled for Council consideration at
the next available regular business meeting, seconded by CM Stites, discussion of the
motion ensued.
Motion to deny carries 5-4 with CM Nosler Beck, Ohm, Hultin and Hoppe voting no and
Mayor Starker breaking the tie.
A brief recess was call by Mayor Starker at 9:30 pm
ORDINANCES ON FIRST READING
2. Council Bill No. 06-2022 – An Ordinance amending Article VIII of Chapter 26 of
the Code of Laws to update the City’s floodplain maps and to make conforming
amendments.
CM Hutchinson introduced Council Bill 06-2022 at 9:40pm.
Issue
The floodplain maps for Jefferson County have been revised to include updates to the
floodplain boundaries within three watersheds. The only watershed within the Wheat
Ridge city limits is for a tributary to Sloan’s Lake. Adoption of the most current floodplain
maps is required by the National Flood Insurance Program.
In addition, staff is seeking to make other minor changes to the City’s floodplain

of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws concerning Chronic Nuisance Properties
CM Stites introduced Council Bill 08-2022 at 9:45 pm.
Issue
On occasion, property owners or persons in charge of such properties, have failed to
take corrective action to abate certain nuisance conditions on that property. Chronic
nuisance properties have a tremendous negative impact upon the quality of life, safety
and health of the neighborhoods where they are located. This ordinance will adopt a
new Article V of Chapter 15 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws to provide additional
tools for the Police Department to address chronic nuisance properties

CM Stites introduced Council Bill 07-2022 at 9:46pm.
Issue
Illegal street racing is a dangerous activity which poses a threat to those citizens using
both public and private roadways. Negative impacts of street racing include excessive
noise at late hours, taking over of public property, dangerous stunts, and road racing
that endangers the public as well as participants and on-lookers. The Wheat Ridge
community has a low tolerance for this behavior. This proposed ordinance will create
more tools for Law Enforcement to deter street racing.

1. Preferred Concept Designs for the “Green” on 38th Avenue
Discussion of this item began at approximately 6:37 pm.
Issue
The 38th Avenue Streetscape project has been a priority for City Council for over a
decade. While the redevelopment of the Green does not directly implement that priority, it
is a logical first step in extending streetscape improvements from the West 38 mixed-use
project and creating a public gathering space on the City’s main street and in the heart of
downtown. A consensus was reached by City Council in 2018 to engage a designer to
develop conceptual designs for the Green. Architerra Group was hired by the City in
August 2018. A comprehensive community engagement process (see Attachments 1-3)
was completed since that time to obtain feedback from key stakeholders and the public.
Based on that feedback, Architerra Group has created two preferred design options which
they will present to City Council at the April 18, 2022, study session for further discussion
and direction.
Staff Reports
City Manager Patrick Goff briefly reviewed the history of design and use planning for the
various concepts for developing the Green, with Mark Taylor from the Architerra Group,
who spoke on a myriad of topics relevant to this item. Those guiding principles included:
• Vitality
• Appeal
Where Architerra developed multiple options and those were presented to focus groups of
interested stakeholders, including various school district representatives, Stevens
Elementary parents, LocalWorks and 38th Avenue businesses. Some of the designs
maintained the current footprint of the Green, while others altered that orientation such
that it would occupy the entire frontage along 38th Avenue and relocate the school’s
parking and student drop-off area to be a buffer between 38th Avenue, the Green, and the
school.
Councilmembers had questions and comments:
Councilmembers had many comments and asked detailed questions about several topics, engaging in discussion among themselves and with staff, who answered their questions
in detail:
• Thanked the staff and the consultants for their report and more so for their hard
work.
• CM asked numerous, detailed questions of the Architerra Group representative,
who responded in kind to their designs, summaries, and public outreach.
• Loves the water feature but thinks the playground is better for year-round use
• Likes option A in round two but wants to save the existing trees.
• Wants landscape materials to use more drought friendly landscaping.
• WR needs a community gathering space.
• Likes the water feature, even though it a drought concern and is not a responsible
usage.
• Would hate to lose the firepit where there are those people without kids who would
like to use it.
• Likes the stage that faces 38h Ave.
• Questioning the chairs if they would be permanent or movable as well as the
backless wall seats and graveled areas.
• What is Jeffco adding to the design build and is anyone applying for grants?
• Likes the classic promenade and wants a safely done fire pit along with a really
well shaded game area.
• Proposing a 50-year lease to the city to manage and maintain the park.
• Emphasized the importance of a communication strategy to inform our residents
about what we are, and are not, trying to achieve
CM Hultin asked for consensus to move forward to 90 percent plan for the Green and
using the feedback that been provided tonight.
Consensus attained.
2. Residential Bulk Plane
Discussion of this item began at approximately 7:48 pm
Issue
In 2016, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1613, which included new zoning
regulations in Chapter 26 of the code pertaining to bulk plane. Currently, bulk plane
applies only to detached single-unit dwelling in the R-1C and R-3 zone districts. During
the 2021 City Council strategic planning session, the potential to adopt such regulations
in all residential zoning districts was identified as a priority. The topic was discussed by
Council in May 2021, but there was a lack of consensus on how to proceed. The purpose
of the May 16, 2022, study session is to discuss bulk plane again and seek direction on a
potential ordinance. This memo contains background information as well as new content
related to zoning analysis and public input.
Staff Reports
Director of Community Development, Ken Johnstone and Lauren Mikulak, Planning
Manager, spoke on the issue including prior action of the 2016 when city council adopted
the current bulk plane ordinance and its study sessions prior to that. These included
public hearings, public feedback, study sessions, along with other proposed regulations,
definitions, current zone districts and code sections.
Noted also that the current bulk plane regulation does apply to all sides of the property,
including the rear setbacks, where some heights force the use of peak roofs instead of flat
roofing techniques.
Councilmembers had questions and comments:
Councilmembers asked detailed questions about several topics, engaging in discussion
among themselves and with staff, who answered their questions in detail:
• All members thanked staff for their presentation, their excellent preparation and
well-conceived groundwork.
• Does the bulk plane apply to all residential districts such as mixed-use
neighborhoods that include townhomes?
• With grading issues how is it measured and how do different grade points work
with the bulk plane.
• Supportive of the issue to take it to all residential areas as it gives people more
faith in the process
• Maintaining unique neighborhood characteristics and that it covers all residential
districts which was agreed upon by all councilmembers.
• There are many people, including those who live in west Wheat Ridge, that want to
see this be approved as well.
• Questions were asked on how extensive the issue was and to find out how many
concerns there have been with bulk plane outside of the areas that are currently
covered by it.
CM Hultin proposed a consensus to direct staff to move forward with the recommendation
to apply bulk plane city-wide in all 8 R-series zone districts.
Consensus attained.
A break was called at 8:11
3. 44th Ave. Subarea Plan Update
Discussion of this item began at approximately 8:20 pm
Issue
The purpose of this study session is to provide City Council with an update on the W. 44th
Avenue subarea planning process, public engagement and preliminary findings from the
existing conditions scan completed thus far.
Staff Reports
Stephanie Stevens, Senior Planner, spoke briefly on the issue including prior action from
2019 where City Council awarded a contract to MIG, Inc., a professional planning firm, to
lead the community through the subarea planning process. This effort was put on hold
due to the pandemic and need to prioritize the Lutheran Master Plan.
Where now the City of Wheat Ridge and consultant team, MIG Inc. with Mark De la Torre
and Jay Rankins (on Zoom), described how they restarted the W. 44th Avenue Subarea
Plan in early 2022, and how it will proceed throughout the year. The plan with outreach
strategies, will focus on W. 44th Avenue between Youngfield Street and Clear Creek
(near Field Street) and will more broadly include the portion of the City between Clear
Creek and I-70. The plan will combine public input with technical analysis to establish a
long-range vision and guiding principles for the W. 44th Avenue planning area which will
guide public and private investments in the future.
Some trends are emerging around the following ideas:
• Improving intersections and addressing multimodal transportation connections
which has been at the forefront of the conversation.
• Creating a balanced development strategy that honors diverging viewpoints around
change (feedback shows 50/50 split for desiring big change vs. no change); and
• Promoting increased investment in a variety of forms, including beautification along
the street and on private properties, investment in commercial properties and
nodes, and establishment of complementary land uses not currently present on the
corridor.
(Timestamp 8:40)
Councilmembers had questions and comments:
Staff, the members from MIG Inc. and CM engaged in a detailed discussion of the
presentation.
CM raised questions about what other methods of engagement the City might use,
including mobility connections, especially with the school zones in the area.
CM Hultin thanked staff for their presentation, their excellent preparation and groundwork.
Nothing in the presentation was a surprise, with everyone wanting safe corridors for traffic
and pedestrians. There are lots of opportunities for re-investments and creative
opportunities.
CM Dozeman looks forward to what comes out of the process, especially for diverse
usages of the corridor.
CM Nosler Beck also discussed people missing the rec center engagement from the
eastern part of WR accessing Anderson park. The bridge is getting fixed and encouraged
them to participate in the project.
Talking points from members included:
• Bike lanes
• Safe crossings
• Controlling traffic
• The bridge on 44th to Anderson park
Staff Report(s)
Nothing Tonight
4. Elected Officials’ Report(s)
CM Nosler Beck wanted to give a shout out to volunteer coaches throughout the Parks
and Recreation teams. There are lots of parents and grandparents investing their time
and commitment to help teach kids in all types of sports.
CM Hultin spoke on the eclipse last night where many folks gathered with her in the
church parking lot. Her heart was made happy by seeing city staff putting in flowers along
38th avenue and cleaning up the gutters It looked really great to see that kind of pride
going into our community.
CM Stites and CM Nosler Beck met with community members recently, who are putting
together a group to help local school budgeting and marketing programs. The new group
is called Wheat Ridge Community and Family Coalition. They hope to get more
volunteers to help strengthen the group by getting the names of the schools out there and
asked for volunteers.
CM Dozeman stated that the Carnation Festival is now accepting nominations for royalty
where three members of the community who have made an impact can be recognized
during the Festival, starting on August 13. The annual plate design contest is opening up
soon, to be reviewed by the cultural commission and they are looking for artwork to be
submitted.
CM Hutchinson remarked how the Wendy’s on Wadsworth is now boarded up. It’s a
surprise to everyone as there were no notices given.
CM Ohm was biking on the clear creek trail and noticed there were a lot of kids at
Prospect park. It has partially re-opened with limited access and hopes that all can get
out and enjoy the parks.
The Mayor thanked everyone for a productive meeting, he thanked everyone for joining
and encouraged us to drive safely.

TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 28-2022 – A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING
ACCEPTANCE OF THE COLORADO REGIONAL OPIOID INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTIES OF CLEAR CREEK, GILPIN, AND JEFFERSON, AND OTHER PARTICIPATING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WITHIN THOSE COUNTIES FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF

_____________________________ City Attorney City Manager ISSUE:
This resolution authorizes the Mayor to sign the Colorado Regional Opioid Intergovernmental Agreement ("IGA"). The IGA is between the three Region 10 counties, and seventeen participating local governments, including the City of Wheat Ridge, located in each of the three
Region 10 counties. The IGA details the procedures to establish a Regional Council for Region
10, designates Jefferson County as Region 10's fiscal agent, and establishes that the participating local governments intend to request and administer opioid settlement funds in a manner
consistent with the Colorado Opioids Settlement Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by the Mayor on November 8, 2021.
PRIOR ACTION:
City Council approved the Colorado Opioids Settlement MOU on November 8, 2021.
CAF – Opioid Settlement IGA June 13, 2022
Page 2
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The potential funding that could be awarded to the City of Wheat Ridge if up to 95% of
Colorado local governments support the MOU and Intergovernmental Agreement associated
with the settlement conditions negotiated with the defendants described herein is estimated at
$250,000. These funds would be allocated over a period of 18 years. There may be additional payouts as other pharma and distribution companies join the current settlement in order to avoid litigation. These funds could be used, as an example, to help support homeless services, mental health programs, addiction therapy, or other programs addressing the impacts of the opioid
epidemic, either directly provided by the City or as part of a comprehensive and coordinated
regional effort. BACKGROUND: In September of 2021, opioid manufacturers and distributors agreed to settle claims and litigation with 42 states in association with the adverse impact of the opioid crisis. Colorado was among
the 42 states agreeing to settle. Approximately $26 billion will be allocated through the
settlement, with $10.7 billion allocated to local governments within the participating states ("Opioid Settlement Funds").
The Colorado Attorney General's Office and regional elected representatives developed a
collaborative process to distribute the Opioid Settlement Funds. The process is established in the Colorado Opioids Settlement Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") signed by the Mayor on November 8, 2021. Under the process and pursuant to the MOU, local governments participating in the Opioid Settlement Funds are grouped into regions with governing boards composed of elected officials appointed from cities and counties within the regions. Jefferson County, Gilpin
County, and Clear Creek County are grouped into Region 10. Each participating local
government within each Region 10 county, including the City of Wheat Ridge, will appoint a member to govern the distribution of Opioid Settlement Funds. The attached Colorado Regional Opioid Intergovernmental Agreement ("IGA") represents a
collaborative effort between the Region 10 counties and the Region 10 participating local
governments to establish Region 10's Regional Council to oversee the request and allocation of Opioid Settlement Funds. The IGA is the next step in the process for the City to receive the allocation of Opioid Settlement Funds.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of this resolution. RECOMMENDED MOTION:
“I move to approve Resolution No. 28-2022, a resolution authorizing acceptance of the Colorado
Regional Opioid Intergovernmental Agreement with the counties of Clear Creek, Gilpin, and
Jefferson, and other participating local governments within those counties for the establishment of the Region 10 Regional Council.” Or,

Regional Council or their authorized designees. At this time, the LG shares will not be pooled and shall remain separate or as directed by each Participating Local Government in accordance with the terms of the Colorado MOU. Any individual
Participating Local Government may elect to include its LG shares with the
Regional Council’s Opioid Funds by making such election to the Regional Fiscal Agent and notifying the Abatement Council as necessary. Such election to pool its LG shares shall be applicable until such election is withdrawn by written notice to the Regional Fiscal Agent and the Abatement Council. Once LG shares

6.2. Development of Two-Year Plan. In developing a two-year plan, the Regional
Council shall solicit recommendations and information from all Parties and other stakeholders within its Region for the purposes of sharing data, outcomes, strategies, and other relevant information related to abating the opioid crisis in Colorado.

responsible for directing the actions within the Region. The liability of the Regional

The Regional Council will provide the
funding for the Approved Purposes and direct that funding to the appropriate
Participating Local Government for implementation. For purposes of clarity, the Regional Council described herein shall not constitute a separate legal entity.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
TITLE: MOTION TO APPROVE A LEASE AGREEMENT BY AND
BETWEEN JEFFERSON COUNTY HOUSING AUTHORITY AND CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE FOR OFFICE SPACE AT 7490 W. 45TH AVENUE PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING RESOLUTIONS
QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_____________________________ Parks & Recreation Director City Manager ISSUE: City Staff has negotiated a five-year Lease Agreement, with the option to extend for one-year,
with Jefferson County Housing Authority for office space at 7490 W. 45th Avenue. This Lease
will resolve the immediate need for additional office space for city employees while a facility
assessment and master plan are completed to determine longer-term facility needs.
PRIOR ACTION: At the March 7, 2022 study session, City Council provided consensus to move forward with
lease negotiations with the Jefferson County Housing Authority.
City Council approved the furniture purchase associated with the new office space at the April
25, 2022 Council meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The annual lease payments, including utilities and maintenance, for this 5-year lease are as
follows:
Year One - $162,000; Year Two - $180,000; Year Three - $180,000; Year Four - $185,400 Year Five - $190,962
Council Action Form – 7490 West 45th Ave Lease Agreement June 13, 2022
Page 2
BACKGROUND: The leased space at 7490 West 45th Avenue resolves the immediate need for additional office
space for city employees. This change would avoid the City spending a significant amount of
money on band-aid repairs to buildings that the City has outgrown and will not serve the
community effectively in the long term. This change would result in many community/neighborhood service roles working collaboratively out of the same facility. Specifically, PFOS (Parks, Forestry & Open Space),
Homeless Navigator, Sustainability, Economic Development, Neighborhood Planners, GIS, as
well as IT & HR support. The opportunity exists to offer some in-person services to the community out of this facility.
Moving staff out of the PFOS building will allow that space to be utilized for various storage
needs. Specifically, recreation storage (currently in the barn outside of the recreation center) and storage related to people experiencing homelessness, which is becoming an increasing problem. This will allow us to consider opportunities to repurpose the barn. In addition, the PFOS building may allow space for Localworks’ makerspace initiative.
The leased space offers a positive approach to employee morale and retention. Providing
employees with a productive work environment is an essential component related to workplace happiness and overall job satisfaction. This will provide functional workspaces for many who are working in close quarters in City Hall, as well as those working in the PFOS building, who are expected to perform at a high level in an old, drab building with no windows and a dysfunctional
layout.
This property will allow the City to expand services in the future, including but not limited to, housing the current functions of Localworks.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends the approval of the Lease Agreement with the Jefferson County Housing Authority.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
“I move to approve a Lease Agreement by and between Jefferson County Housing Authority and
City of Wheat Ridge for office space at 7490 W. 45th Avenue.” Or,
“I move to not approve a Lease Agreement by and between Jefferson County Housing Authority
and City of Wheat Ridge for office space at 7490 W. 45th Avenue for the following reason(s) __________________.”

expenses incurred by Landlord for any Alterations, or other Maintenance made necessary
because of the negligent acts or omissions of Tenant or any Tenant Party (including, without
limitation, Tenant alterations and/or Tenant maintenance work, Tenant’s special or particular use

Landlord’s property manager) for, any and all loss of or damage to real and personal property of
the other party and its loss of business income, caused by or arising out of a cause of loss insured
or that could have been insured against by a Causes of Loss – Special Form policy of property
insurance with additional flood and loss of business income coverage, even if this loss or damage
is due to the negligence of the other party (or, as to Tenant’s waiver) Landlord’s property
manager), or their respective agents, employees or contractors. These waivers include a waiver
by each of Tenant and Landlord of all rights of subrogation that its property insurers may have
against the other (and, as to Tenant’s waiver, against Landlord’s property manager). If either
party’s insurance covering property loss or damage does not permit, or advises against a named
insured against waiving the insurer’s rights of subrogation, then the party shall either (i) request
its insured to waive in a particular case or (ii) request that policy must include an endorsement in
which the insurer waives all of its rights of subrogation against the other party (and, as to
Tenant’s insurance policy, Landlord’s property manager).
18. Covenants. Tenant will, throughout the Term, keep the Premises in a good, safe
and sanitary condition, ordinary wear and tear, excepted. Tenant will not do, or permit to be
done, any act on the Premises which will invalidate the Certificate of Occupancy or the terms of
the property or other insurance policies covering the Premises or constitute waste or a public or
private nuisance. Tenant will not do, or permit to be done, anything in a manner which will
increase the rate of insurance over the rate in effect at the commencement of the term of this
Lease. Tenant covenants and agrees that nothing will be done or kept in the Premises that might
be unsafe or hazardous to any person or property. Tenant will not permit or suffer, and Tenant
agrees to cause to be removed and released within 10 days after the filing thereof, any
mechanic’s, materialman’s or other lien on account of supplies, machinery, tools, equipment,
labor or material furnished or used in connection with work on the Premises by, through or under
Tenant.
19. Hazardous Substances. Except in strict compliance with all Laws, Tenant will not
cause, permit or suffer any Hazardous Materials to be brought upon, treated, kept, stored,
disposed of, discharged, released, produced, manufactured, generated, refined or used upon,
about, beneath or from the Premises. The term “Hazardous Materials” means any substance,
material, or waste which is now or hereafter classified or considered to be hazardous, toxic, or
dangerous under any Laws relating to pollution or the protection or regulation of human health,
7
natural resources or the environment, or poses or threatens to pose a hazard to the health or
safety of persons on the Premises.
20. Eminent Domain. If the Premises or any part thereof is taken by eminent domain
so that that Tenant’s use or occupancy thereof is materially adversely affected, this Lease will, at
the option of Tenant, terminate on the date when title vests pursuant to such taking. The Rent
will be apportioned as of the termination date, and any Rent paid for any period beyond that date
will be repaid to Tenant. Tenant will not be entitled to any part of the award for such taking or
any payment in lieu thereof, but Tenant may file a claim for any taking of fixtures and
improvements owned by Tenant, and for moving expenses. If Tenant does not elect to terminate

the Premises.

any improvements thereon during the Term hereof, from any cause, Landlord will promptly
repair the same, provided that such repairs can be made within 180 days from the date of the
damage or destruction and with the amount of the proceeds of property insurance available
therefor (plus any amounts Tenant agrees to pay for such repairs) in accordance with then
existing Laws, but such damage or destruction will not terminate this Lease, except that Tenant
will be entitled to a proportionate reduction of Rent while such repairs are being made, based
upon the extent to which the making of such repairs will interfere with the business and activities
conducted by Tenant on the Premises. If such repairs cannot be made within the 180 days, or the
proceeds of property insurance (and any amounts Tenant agrees to pay for such repairs) are
insufficient to complete such repairs, Landlord will, within 30 days following the date of the
damage or destruction, give notice to Tenant of such fact (“Landlord’s Notice”), whereupon this
Lease may be terminated at the option of either party by notice given, if by Landlord at the time
of Landlord’s Notice and, if by Tenant, within 30 days after the giving of Landlord’s Notice. If
this Lease is not so terminated, Landlord will proceed diligently to make such repairs and restore
the Premises or such improvements to their condition prior to the casualty, and Tenant will make
the proceeds of insurance attributable to the Premises available to Landlord for such purpose.

on the date due and such failure is not cured within 5 days thereafter, or if Landlord or Tenant
defaults in the performance of any of the other covenants or conditions of this Lease, and the
defaulting party does not cure such default within 10 days after the giving of such notice (or if
such other default is of such nature that it cannot be completely cured within such 10-day period,
if the defaulting party does not commence such curing within such 10 days or thereafter fails to
proceed with reasonable diligence and in good faith to cure such default).

following remedies:
i. Landlord may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ written

thereafter take possession of the Premises by any lawful means and remove Tenant or other
occupants and their effects from the Premises.

the Premises by any lawful means and remove Tenant or other occupants and their effects from
the Premises, and thereafter Landlord may, but will not be obligated to, re-let the Premises for

limited to, for a term longer than the Term), in which case Tenant will remain liable for the Rent
hereunder as and when due less any amount obtained by Landlord from such reletting (net of all
costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting).
iii. Landlord will be entitled to (i) unpaid past-due Rent as of the date
of the termination, plus Default Interest; (ii) unpaid Rent as of the date of entry of judgment, less

less the present value of any future Rent owing by any replacement tenant.
iv. In addition, Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages
Landlord may incur by reason of such default by Tenant.
v. Should Tenant at any time fail to do the acts required to be done by
Tenant under this Lease, Landlord, at its option and in addition to any other rights and remedies
which Landlord may have, may (but will not be required to) do such act or cause the same to be
done, and all sums expended by Landlord in connection with the performance thereof will be
additional Rent due and payable from Tenant to Landlord upon demand, together with Default
Interest.
b. Upon an Event of Default, Tenant will have the following remedies:
i. Tenant may terminate this Lease upon 30 days’ written notice to
Landlord. On the date specified in such notice the Term of this Lease will terminate, and Tenant
will then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, but Tenant will remain liable for any
amounts due Landlord up to the date of termination, but not after that date. Tenant will not be
responsible for any amounts for rent during the remaining term of the terminated Lease. If this
Lease will have been so terminated by Tenant, Landlord may at any time thereafter the date
specified in the notice take possession of the Premises by any lawful means.
ii. Should Landlord at any time fail to do the acts required to be done
by Landlord under this Lease, Tenant, upon providing ten (10) days written notice to Landlord,
at its option and in addition to any other rights and remedies which Tenant may have, may (but
will not be required to) do such act or cause the same to be done, and all reasonable sums
expended by Tenant in connection with the performance thereof will be reimbursed to Tenant by
Landlord. (c) The remedies of Landlord and Tenant hereunder are cumulative and in addition to
all other remedies Landlord and tenantmay have in law or equity on account of any breach of this
Lease.

maintain exterior signs on the Premises advertising its business. Landlord shall have the right to
approve any such signs, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
otherwise conditioned, and any sign that Tenant has the right to place, construct and maintain
shall comply with all applicable laws, codes and any and all covenants. Upon termination of the
9
Lease, Tenant shall remove any sign so placed and repair any damage or injury to the Premises
caused thereby.
24. Parking. Tenant, its employees, licensees, and invitees shall have the non-
exclusive right to park in no more than twenty-two (22) non-reserved parking spots designated

enter into a separate use agreement for the use of two (2) of the Parking Spaces, on a non-
exclusive basis, with the Landlord or Landlord’s affiliate that is developing a multifamily

Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with the use of the Ives Parking Spaces and provide such
consents, instruments, acknowledgments, estoppels or other similar instruments with respect to
the Ives Parking Spaces reasonably requested by third parties. Tenant shall comply with all
parking regulations promulgated by Landlord from time to time for the orderly use of the vehicle
parking area. Further, Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord and Landlord’s affiliate
for the use of the Parking Spaces in connection with tenant’s temporary use and interruption of
Tenant’s use of the Parking Spaces as a result of Landlord’s reconstruction or repair of the
parking area that includes the Parking Spaces. Tenant agrees not to overburden the parking
facilities and agrees to cooperate with Landlord and other tenants in the use of parking facilities.
Landlord shall not be responsible for enforcing Tenant's parking rights against any third parties.

the amount of Rent that is due and payable).
27. Force Majeure. If either party to this Lease is prevented from performing any
obligation under this Lease by a Force Majeure, such obligation shall be excused during (and any
time period for the performance of such obligation shall be extended by) the period during which
the Force Majeure continues; provided, however, that this Section shall not (a) permit Tenant to

LEASE AGREEMENT
OPTION TO RENEW
1. Option to Renew.
(a) Provided that Landlord has not given Tenant notice of default more than two times and
that there then exists no default by Tenant under the Lease, Tenant shall have the right and
option (the “Extension Option”) to extend the Term of this Lease for one (1) additional period of
12 months (the “Extension Period”), exercisable by giving Landlord prior written notice, on or
before a date that is no earlier than twelve (12) months or later than nine (9) months prior to the
Lease Expiration Date, of Tenant’s election to extend the Term; it being agreed that time is of the
essence and that this option is personal to Tenant and is non-transferable to any assignee or
sublessee.
(b) Such Extension Period shall be under the same terms and conditions as provided in the
Lease except as follows:
(i) the Extension Period shall begin on the day after the initial Lease Expiration Date
and thereafter the Lease Expiration Date shall be deemed to be the last day of the Extension
Period;
(ii) there shall be no further options to extend other than as set forth in paragraph (a)
above;
(iii) the Base Rent for the Extension Period shall be equal to the greater of (i) the Base
Rent payable in the immediately preceding Lease Year, or (ii) the fair market rental value of the
Premises (the “FMR”) as of the date the Tenant exercises its Extension Option.
(c) In determining the FMR, Landlord shall take into account and make appropriate
adjustments to reflect current market terms, conditions and concessions for similar renewal
transactions in similar office buildings that are then generally available in the market where the
Premises are located as of the date Tenant exercises its Extension Option. Landlord can decide
not to calculate the FMR, in which case the Base Rent for the first year of the Extension Period
shall be equal to the Base Rent payable in the immediately preceding Lease Year. In the
alternative, within 15 days after Landlord receives notice of Tenant’s exercise of the Extension
Option, Landlord will give notice to Tenant (the “FMR Notice”) of Landlord’s opinion of the
FMR and comparing the FMR to the Base Rent payable in the immediately preceding Lease
Year. If Tenant does not respond to the FMR Notice within 15 days after delivery, Landlord’s
opinion of the FMR shall be deemed accepted as the Base Rent due for the Extension Period. If,
during such 15-day period, Tenant gives Landlord notice that Tenant contests Landlord’s
determination of the FMR (an “Objection Notice”), which notice must contain therein Tenant’s
opinion of the FMR, the parties will attempt to arrive at a mutually agreeable FMR. If Landlord
and Tenant cannot agree as to the FMR within 15 days after Landlord’s receipt of the Objection
Notice, the FMR shall be determined by appraisal. Within 10 days after the expiration of such
A-2
15-day period, Landlord and Tenant shall give written notice to the other setting forth the name
and address of an appraiser designated by the party giving notice. All appraisers selected shall
be members of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and shall have had at least 10
years continuous experience in the business of appraising industrial buildings in the market area
where the Premises are located. If either party shall fail to give notice of such designation within
the time period provided, then the party who has designated its appraiser (the “Designating
Party”) shall notify the other party (the “Non-Designating Party”) in writing that the Non-
Designating Party has an additional 10 days to give notice of its designation, otherwise the
appraiser, if any, designated by the Designating Party shall conclusively determine the FMR. If
two appraisers have been designated, such appraisers shall attempt to agree upon the FMR. If
the two appraisers do not agree on the FMR within 20 days of their designation, the two
appraisers shall designate a third appraiser. If the two appraisers shall fail to agree upon the
identity of a third appraiser within 5 business days following the end of such 20-day period, then
either Landlord or Tenant may apply to the American Arbitration Association, or any successor
thereto, for the settlement of the dispute as to the designation of the third appraiser and the
American Arbitration Association shall designate a third appraiser in accordance with the Real
Estate Valuation Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Each of Landlord
and Tenant shall furnish each of the three appraisers with a copy of their respective final
determinations of the FMR. The third appraiser shall proceed with all reasonable dispatch to
determine whether Landlord's final determination of the FMR or Tenant's final determination of
the FMR most closely reflects the FMR, and the determination of FMR chosen by the third
appraiser as more accurate shall be the FMR for purposes of this Exhibit. For avoidance of
doubt, in no event shall the third appraiser have the right (i) to average the final determination of
the FMR of Landlord and Tenant or (ii) to choose another rate. The decision of such third
appraiser shall in any event be rendered within 30 days after his/her appointment, or within such
other period as the parties shall agree, and such decision shall be in writing and in duplicate, one
counterpart thereof to be delivered to each of the parties. Any dispute regarding the
determination of FMR as described in this Exhibit shall be submitted to arbitration conducted in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (or its successor) and
applicable laws. The FMR as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall
be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
TITLE: COUNCIL BILL NO. 09-2022 – AN ORDINANCE
APPROVING THE REZONING OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 10101 W. I-70 FRONTAGE ROAD NORTH FROM COMMERCIAL-ONE (C-1) TO MIXED USE-COMMERCIAL INTERSTATE (MU-C INTERSTATE) (CASE NO. WZ-22-05)

QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_____________________________
Community Development Director City Manager
ISSUE: The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change from Commercial-One (C-1) to Mixed
Use-Commercial Interstate (MU-C Interstate) for property located at 10101 W. I-70 Frontage Road North. The zone change will result in a zoning that enables revitalization and
redevelopment of the site by expanding permitted uses.
PRIOR ACTION: Planning Commission reviewed this request at a public hearing held on June 2, 2022 and
recommended approval. The staff report and a copy of the draft Planning Commission minutes
will be provided with the second reading materials.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed ordinance is not expected to have a direct financial impact on the City. Fees in the amount of $700 were collected for the review and processing of Case No. WZ-22-05. If the
rezoning is approved, the City may benefit from various fees collected depending on how the
property is repurposed in the future, such as building permit fees or sales tax.
Council Action Form – Proposed Rezoning at 10101 W. I-70 Frontage Road North June 13, 2022
Page 2
BACKGROUND: The property is located on the north side of Interstate-70 on the I-70 Frontage Road, between
Miller Street and Kipling Street. There are currently five access points into the site from the I-70
Frontage Road and W. 49th Avenue. Land on all sides of the property has been dedicated as
public right-of-way. The property is currently zoned Commercial-One (C-1). The property is approximately 230,650 square feet in size (5.295 acres) and contains the 91,571-square foot American Motel built in
1975. The hotel is considered legally nonconforming because hotels are now considered Special
Uses in the code, but the property was developed before that requirement was in place. Adjacent properties include a mix of zoning designations and land uses. To the north is a property zoned Planned Industrial Development (PID) including an industrial building with a plumbing supply
company. To the northeast is the Blue Grass Terrace Shopping Center including an auto parts
store, salon, and a variety of quick serve restaurants. Immediately east of the site is Hopper’s Sports Grill, zoned C-1. To the west is a used car dealership and properties zoned C-1 and Agricultural-One (A-1). The property is adjacent to I-70 to the south. Current Zoning
The current zone district, C-1, is a legacy zone district dating back to 1972 and was established
to provide commercial land uses which include office, general business, and retail sales and service establishments. It was originally designed for and is more often seen on larger properties
with adjacency to lower density residential uses.
Proposed Zoning
The applicant is requesting the property be rezoned to MU-C Interstate, a zone district
established to accommodate a wide range of uses from residential to commercial. This district is intended for properties that are generally within five hundred (500) feet of I-70 and that are located on a commercial corridor with direct access to I-70. It follows the MU-C framework but is intended for highway-adjacent sites that may require variation in design or land use due to
direct proximity to the interstate. The highway-adjacency allows for more auto-oriented uses
than compared to other mixed use districts. The MU-C Interstate zone district is more appropriate than C-1 in terms of allowed land uses and
will expand the permitted uses on the subject property. The proposed zoning would enable
reinvestment by allowing a wider range of uses, encouraging a better utilization of land, and
ensuring high quality urban design. A full analysis of the zone change criteria will be provided in
the Planning Division staff report at second reading. RECOMMENDATIONS:
The application in this case is for the rezoning of property. This action is quasi-judicial, and as a
result, the applicant is entitled to a public hearing on the application. As Council is aware, rezoning in Wheat Ridge is accomplished by ordinance (Charter Sec. 5.10; Code Section 26-112). Ordinances require two readings, and by Charter, the public hearing takes
place on second reading.
Council Action Form – Proposed Rezoning at 10101 W. I-70 Frontage Road North June 13, 2022
Page 3
First reading in these cases is a procedural action that merely sets the date for the (second reading) public hearing. No testimony is taken on first reading. Because it is important that the applicant
and all interested parties have their due process rights to a hearing, the City Attorney advises
Council to approve rezoning ordinances on first reading. This merely sets the date for the public
hearing, and for this reason, the packet materials provided on first reading are generally limited. The Planning Division staff report and Planning Commission minutes will be included in the City Council packet for the public hearing. RECOMMENDED MOTION:
“I move to approve Council Bill No. 09-2022, an ordinance approving the rezoning of property located at 10101 W. I-70 Frontage Road North from Commercial-One (C-1) to Mixed Use-Commercial Interstate (MU-C Interstate) on first reading, order it published, public hearing set
for Monday, July 11, 2022 at 7 p.m. as a virtual meeting and in City Council Chambers if

QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_______________ __________________________ City Attorney City Manager ISSUE:
Council Bill 13-2022 amends the local definition of criminal harassment to comply with a recent
decision of the Colorado Supreme Court. PRIOR ACTION: None.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None. BACKGROUND: On March 28, 2022, the Colorado Supreme Court issued its decision in People v. Moreno, 2022
CO 15 (Colo. 2022). In Moreno, the Court reviewed a district court's order invalidating part of
Colorado's harassment statute. The lower court found that the phrase "intended to harass" in the State statute unconstitutionally restricts protected speech. The Colorado Supreme Court agreed and definitively invalidated this portion of the State’s harassment statute.
The Wheat Ridge Code harassment provision mirrors the State statutory language. Therefore, it is necessary to remove from the Wheat Ridge Code the language that was recently declared
unconstitutional by the Moreno decision. While this Section is being amended, staff recommends
Council Action Form – Harassment and Stalking Ordinance June 13, 2022
Page 2
that we modernize its language to include more modern forms of communication (text, instant messaging, etc.).
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance on first reading. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to approve Council Bill No. 13-2022, an ordinance amending Section 16-107 of the
Wheat Ridge Code of Laws concerning harassment and stalking on first reading, order it
published, public hearing set for Monday, June 27, 2022 at 7 p.m. as a virtual meeting and in City Council Chambers if allowed to meet in person on that date per COVID-19 restrictions, and that it take 15 days after final publication.”

WHEREAS, the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado (the “City”), is a Colorado home rule municipality, duly organized and existing pursuant to Section 6 of Article XX of the Colorado Constitution; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to its home rule authority and C.R.S. § 31-15-401, the City, acting through its City Council (the “Council”), is authorized to adopt rules and regulations prohibiting certain conduct and defining general offenses that harm or pose a threat to the public health, safety or welfare;
and
WHEREAS, pursuant to such authority, the Council has previously defined and adopted certain general offenses, codified as Chapter 16 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws (“Code”), including a prohibition of harassment and stalking, codified as Code Section 16-107; and

Section 2. Safety Clause. The City Council hereby finds, determines, and declares that this Ordinance is promulgated under the general police power of the City of Wheat Ridge, that it is promulgated for the health, safety, and welfare of the public and that this Ordinance is necessary for the preservation of health and safety and for the protection of public convenience and welfare.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
TITLE: COUNCIL BILL NO. 10-2022 - AN ORDINANCE APPROVING
A SITE LEASE AGREEMENT WITH T-MOBILE WEST, LLC FOR USE OF THE MUNICIPAL BUILDING CELLULAR TOWER PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING (06/13/2022) BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING (06/27/2022) RESOLUTIONS
QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_______________ __________________________ Director of Parks & Recreation City Manager ISSUE: The City owns and operates a cellular tower at City Hall and has three lease agreements with
cellular companies for use of the tower. The existing tower is no longer structurally sound and
needs to be replaced to accommodate upgrades of cellular equipment on the tower. New Cingular Wireless, Verizon Wireless, and T-Mobile drafted a cost-sharing agreement, which will fund the demolition of the existing cellular tower and the construction of a new cellular monopole at the same location. Approval of this ordinance will allow the City to finalize the Site
Lease Agreement with T-Mobile West, LLC.
PRIOR ACTION: The City has a cell tower lease in place with T-Mobile West, LLC which was signed by Mayor DiTullio on September 14, 2006. While negotiating new lease terms, the existing lease expired, and the City has provided for a month-to-month extension until a new lease is approved.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City will have no financial obligation in the demolition of the current tower or construction of the new tower. The City will receive $3,500 in rent per month, per carrier. The lease will be in
place for fifteen (15) years, with the opportunity to renew in five (5) year increments.
Council Action Form – Lease with T-Mobile West, LLC June 13, 2022
Page 2
BACKGROUND: Due to aging infrastructure and changes to technology over the years, T-Mobile West, LLC,
along with two other cellular carriers, would like to demolish the existing cellular tower located
at City Hall and construct a new monopole cellular tower. City Staff is in support of this
initiative, under the condition that the City will not share in the cost of demolition and construction. RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance on first reading. If denied or postponed, there will be
no impact to City operations; however, the City will not receive $3,500 per month in lease payments, per carrier, which amounts to $126,000 per year in revenue.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
“I move to approve Council Bill No. 10-2022, an ordinance approving a Site Lease Agreement with T-Mobile West, LLC for use of the municipal cell tower on first reading, order it published, public hearing set for Monday, June 27, 2022 at 7 p.m. as a virtual meeting and in City Council Chambers if allowed to meet in person on that date per COVID-19 restrictions, and that it take
effect upon adoption and signature by the Mayor, as permitted by Section 5.11 of the Charter.”

QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
___________________________ __________________________ Director of Parks & Recreation City Manager ISSUE: The City owns and operates a cellular tower at City Hall and has three lease agreements with cellular companies for use of the tower. The existing tower is no longer structurally sound and
needs to be replaced to accommodate upgrades of cellular equipment on the tower. New
Cingular Wireless, Verizon Wireless, and T-Mobile drafted a cost-sharing agreement, which will fund the demolition of the existing cellular tower and the construction of a new cellular monopole at the same location. Approval of this ordinance will allow the City to finalize the Site Lease Agreement with Version Wireless.
PRIOR ACTION:
The City has an existing cell tower lease in place with Verizon Wireless which was signed by
Mayor DiTullio on December 13, 2011.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City will have no financial obligation in the demolition of the current tower or construction
of the new tower. The City will receive $3,500 in rent per month, per carrier. The lease will be in
place for fifteen (15) years, with the opportunity to renew in five (5) year increments.

improvements might be located, operated or maintained (the “Primary RAD Space”), and (iii)
those certain areas where Tenant’s conduits, wires, cables, cable trays and other necessary
connections are located between the Ground Space and the Primary RAD Space (the
“Connection Space”). The Ground Space, Primary RAD Space and Connection Space are
specifically depicted on Exhibit B and hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Premises.” In
no event shall Tenant install any equipment on the Monopole at any other location or elevation
other than within the Primary RAD Space without Landlord’s written approval, which Landlord
may withhold at its sole discretion. The Tenant may update the description of the Premises on
Exhibit B to reflect any modifications or changes to the Premises, with such modifications or
DocuSign Envelope ID: 9132CF38-16A8-4A85-9AB1-ACCC01C4011B
changes subject to the prior written approval of Landlord. Such approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

and quasi-governmental entities (collectively, the “Governmental Approvals”). In no event
shall Tenant apply for a change in the zoning classification of the Property. Landlord’s
reasonable cooperation shall include the prompt execution and delivery of any documents
necessary to obtain and maintain Government Approvals or utility services, at locations to be
reviewed and approved by Landlord in writing. Additionally, Landlord shall make reasonable
efforts to not take any actions which are in conflict with or interfere with Tenant’s Governmental
Approvals.
4. Antenna Facilities and Permitted Uses.

personal property of Tenant and shall not be considered fixtures, regardless of whether any
portion is deemed real or personal property under applicable law. If necessary to maintain

on the Premises, subject to approval and execution by the Landlord of a temporary permit for
that purpose, which approval and execution shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. In the event Tenant locates a cell-on-wheels, or other temporary antenna facility on the
Premises, Tenant shall continue paying the then current Rent amount due to Landlord. Landlord
shall reasonably cooperate with the placement of the temporary facility at a mutually acceptable
location on the Premises. The Antenna Facilities shall in no way interfere with Landlord’s
operations, services, Landlord’s use, or Landlord’s other tenants’ use of Landlord’s Property.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 9132CF38-16A8-4A85-9AB1-ACCC01C4011B
(b) Tenant shall purchase and install the Monopole upon the Property in accordance with
the plans and specifications attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Plans”). Landlord acknowledges
that it has received and approved the Plans for the Monopole. Landlord shall fully cooperate

removed and disposed of by Landlord in such manner as Landlord shall determine and at
Tenant’s reasonable expense, without notice to Tenant and without any obligation on the part of
Landlord to account to Tenant for any proceeds therefrom. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for
any actual and reasonable expense incurred in restoring the Premises should Tenant fail to

that interfere with or restrict the operations of Tenant. Any such interference shall be deemed
material breach of this Agreement by Landlord and Landlord shall remove the cause of the
interference within forty-eight (48) hours of notice. Tenant shall have the right to exercise all
legal and equitable rights and remedies to end the interference.
8. Utility Services.
a) Tenant shall have the right to connect to, maintain, repair, upgrade, remove or replace
existing utility related equipment and shall have the right to install new utility related equipment
to service its Antenna Facilities, or cell-on-wheels on, or serving the Premises (collectively, the
DocuSign Envelope ID: 9132CF38-16A8-4A85-9AB1-ACCC01C4011B
“Utility Facilities”) at Tenant’s sole cost and without interfering with Landlord’s operations,
services, Landlord’s other tenants, and at locations to be identified on Exhibit B.
b) Tenant shall be responsible for all utilities charges for electricity, or any other utility
service used by Tenant on the Premises. Tenant shall ensure installation of separate meters for
Tenant’s utility usage.
9. Access and Easements.
a) Landlord shall furnish, at no additional charge to Tenant, unimpeded and secure access
to the Premises on a 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week basis to Tenant and Tenant’s employees,
agents, contractors and other designees. Tenant’s access to the Premises shall not interfere with
Landlord’s regular business activities. If Tenant’s access, whether by its employees, agents,
contractors, or other designees, interrupts or interferes with Landlord’s emergency response,
such interruption or interference shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.
b) Landlord grants Tenant, at no additional Rent or charge, non-exclusive easements on,
over, under and across the Property for ingress, egress, communications, power and other
utilities, construction, demolition and access to the Premises and any Utility Facilities in routes
identified on Exhibit B (collectively, the “Easements”). Landlord shall not modify, interrupt or
interfere with any communications, electricity, or other utility equipment and easements serving
the Premises, without first providing ten (10) days written notice to Tenant. If an interruption to
the electrical supply will be for an extended period of time, in Tenant’s reasonable
determination, Landlord agrees to allow Tenant the right to bring in a temporary source of power
for the duration of the interruption.
10. Termination. Tenant may terminate this Agreement without further liability, upon thirty
(30) days prior written notice to Landlord, if Tenant, through no fault of its own, is unable to
obtain any Governmental Approval required for the construction or operation of Tenant’s
Antenna Facilities. This Agreement may also be terminated by Tenant upon sixty (60) days’
prior written notice to Landlord for any reason or no reason, so long as Tenant pays Landlord a
termination fee equal to three (3) months’ Rent, at the then-current rate, provided, however, that
no such termination fee will be payable on account of the termination of this Agreement by
Tenant under any termination provision contained in any other section of this Agreement. Upon
Termination, Tenant shall remove all of its existing Antenna Facilities, in accordance with
Section 4(c) above.
11. Casualty and Condemnation.
a) Landlord will provide notice to Tenant of any casualty or other harm affecting the
Monopole within twenty-four (24) hours of the casualty or other harm. If the Premises or
Antenna Facilities are damaged or destroyed by wind, fire or other casualty, not caused by
Tenant or Tenant’s contractors, Tenant shall be entitled to negotiate, compromise, receive and
retain all proceeds of Tenant’s insurance and other claims and Tenant may terminate the
Agreement by written notice to Landlord. In the event Tenant elects to terminate the Agreement
under this Paragraph 11, Landlord agrees to permit Tenant to place temporary transmission and
DocuSign Envelope ID: 9132CF38-16A8-4A85-9AB1-ACCC01C4011B
reception facilities on the Property, but only until such time as Tenant is able to activate a
replacement transmission facility at another location; notwithstanding the termination of this
Agreement, such temporary facilities will be governed by all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, including Rent. If Landlord or Tenant undertakes to rebuild or restore the Monopole
and/or the Antenna Facilities, as applicable, Landlord agrees to permit Tenant to place temporary
transmission and reception facilities on the Property at no additional Rent until the reconstruction
of the Monopole and/or the Antenna Facilities is completed. If Landlord determines not to
rebuild or restore the Monopole, Landlord will notify Tenant of such determination within thirty
(30) days after the casualty or other harm. If Landlord does not so notify Tenant and Tenant
decides not to terminate under this Section 11, then Landlord will promptly rebuild or restore any
portion of the Property interfering with or required for Tenant’s Permitted Use of the Premises to
substantially the same condition as existed before the casualty or other harm. Landlord agrees
that the Rent shall be abated until the Property and/or the Premises are rebuilt or restored, unless
Tenant places temporary transmission and reception facilities on the Property.
b) In the event Landlord receives notification of any condemnation proceedings
affecting the Property, Landlord will provide notice of the proceeding to Tenant within twenty-
four (24) hours. If the Premises, any Easements or Antenna Facilities are taken or condemned by
power of eminent domain or other governmental taking, then: (i) this Agreement will terminate
as of the date the title vests in the condemning authority, and (ii) Tenant shall be entitled to
negotiate, compromise, receive and retain all awards attributable to (A) the Antenna Facilities,
(B) Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Property, (C) any moving or relocation benefit available to
Tenant and (D) any other award available to Tenant that is not attributable to Landlord’s title to
or interest in the Property, provided that any award to Tenant will not diminish Landlord’s
recovery.
12. Default and Right to Cure.
a) If Tenant is in arrears in the payment of any Rent or any payments due by Tenant to
Landlord under this Agreement, or any portion thereof, or is in violation of any other covenants
or agreements set forth in the Agreement (a “Default”) and the Default remains uncorrected for a
period of thirty (30) days after Landlord has given written notice thereof pursuant to applicable
law, then Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, undertake any of the following remedies without
limitation: (a) declare the Term of the Agreement ended; (b) terminate Tenant’s right to
possession of the Premises and reenter and repossess the Premises pursuant to applicable
provisions of the Colorado Forcible Entry and Unlawful Detainer statute; (c) recover all present
and future damages, costs, and other relief to which Landlord is entitled; (d) pursue breach of
contract remedies; and (e) pursue any and all available remedies in law or equity. In the event
possession is terminated by reason of a Default prior to expiration of the Term, Tenant shall
remain responsible for the Rent, subject to Landlord’s duty to mitigate such damages. Delay in
curing a Default will be excused if due to causes beyond the reasonable control of Tenant.
b) The following will be deemed a default by Landlord and a breach of this Agreement:
(i) Landlord’s failure to provide access to the Premises as required by Section 9 within twenty-
four (24) hours after written notice of such failure; (ii) Landlord’s failure to cure an interference
DocuSign Envelope ID: 9132CF38-16A8-4A85-9AB1-ACCC01C4011B
problem as required by Section 7 of this Agreement within forty-eight (48) hours after written
notice of such failure; or (iii) Landlord’s failure to perform any term, condition or breach of any
warranty or covenant under this Agreement within thirty (30) days after written notice from
Tenant specifying the failure. No such failure, however, will be deemed to exist if Landlord has
commenced to cure the default within such period and provided such efforts are prosecuted to
completion with reasonable diligence. Delay in curing a default will be excused if due to causes
beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. If Landlord remains in default beyond any
applicable cure period, Tenant will have: (i) the right to cure Landlord’s default and to deduct the
costs of such cure from any monies due to Landlord from Tenant, and (ii) any and all other rights
available to it under law and equity.
13. Taxes. Landlord shall pay when due all real estate taxes and assessments for the
Property, including the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice from Landlord for any personal property
tax or real estate tax paid for by Landlord which is attributable to the presence, use, occupancy,
or installation of Tenant’s Antenna Facilities during the Term. Landlord shall provide prompt
and timely notice of any tax or assessment for which Tenant is liable. Tenant shall have the right
to challenge any tax or assessment and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant regarding such
challenge.
14. Insurance and Subrogation and Indemnification.
a) During the Term, Tenant shall carry, at its own cost and expense, the following
insurance: (i) workers’ compensation insurance as required by law; (ii) Employer’s Liability
insurance with limits of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per accident/ per disease, per
employee/ per disease, policy limits; (iii) automobile insurance and (iv) commercial general
liability (CGL) insurance per ISO form CG 00 01 or equivalent with respect to its activities on
the Property, covering liability arising from premises, operations, personal injury,
products/completed operations, and contractual liability, such insurance to afford protection of
Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) per occurrence and Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) general
aggregate. The Landlord shall be included as an additional insured on the policy or policies of
General Commercial Liability, with respects to this Agreement. Tenant may satisfy this
requirement by obtaining the appropriate endorsement to any master insurance policy Tenant
maintains. Tenant shall each maintain “all risk” or “special causes of loss” property insurance on
a replacement cost basis for Tenant’s owned real property. Tenant self-insures this risk. In the
event the required policy or policies shall lapse for any reason, Landlord shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to obtain a substitute policy or policies, the cost of which shall be borne by
Tenant.
b) Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually release each other (and their successors and
assigns) from liability and waive all right of recovery against the other for any loss or damage
covered by their respective first party property insurance policies for all perils insured
thereunder. In the event of an insured loss, neither party’s insurance company shall have a
subrogated claim against the other party. Tenant self-insures its property coverage and in
satisfaction of the waiver of subrogation requirement Tenant will include Landlord as joint loss
DocuSign Envelope ID: 9132CF38-16A8-4A85-9AB1-ACCC01C4011B
payee to the extent of Landlord’s insurable interest which would have been covered had Tenant
purchased property insurance.
c) Subject to the property insurance waivers set forth in the preceding subsection (b),
Landlord and Tenant each agree, to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold harmless
the other party from and against any and all administrative and judicial actions and rulings,
claims, causes of action, demands and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the
extent caused by or arising out of: (i) any negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct in the
operations or activities on the Property by the indemnifying party or the employees, agents,
contractors, licensees, tenants or subtenants of the indemnifying party, (ii) any spill or other
release of any Hazardous Substances (as defined below) on the Property by the indemnifying
party or the employees, agents, contractors, licensees, tenants or subtenants of the indemnifying
party, or (iii) any breach of any obligation of the indemnifying party under this Agreement. The
indemnifying party’s obligations under this subsection are contingent upon its receiving written
notice of any event giving rise to an obligation to indemnify the other party, within ten (10) days
the indemnified party becomes aware of such event, and the indemnified party’s granting it the
right to control the defense and settlement of the same.
d) Tenant shall not be responsible or liable to Landlord or any third party for any claims,
damages, costs, expenses, including liens, fines, penalties or other enforcement actions,
attributable to any pre-existing violations of applicable laws, codes, ordinances or other
regulations relating to the Property (collectively, “Pre-Existing Violations”). To the extent
Tenant is or may be required to cure such Pre-Existing Violations in order to obtain any
Governmental Approvals for its Permitted Uses of the Premises, however, Tenant shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to cure such Pre-Existing Violations and deduct the curative costs
from Rent payable under this Agreement.
e) The provisions of subsections (b) and (c) above shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement.
15. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted
under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be effective three (3) business days after
deposit in the U.S. mail, certified, return receipt requested or upon receipt if personally delivered
or sent via a nationally recognized courier to the addresses set forth below. Landlord or Tenant
may from time to time designate any other address for this purpose by providing written notice to

Landlord has full right, power and authority to execute and perform this Agreement and to grant
Tenant the leasehold interest and Easements contemplated under this Agreement; (b) Landlord
has good and unencumbered title to the Property, free and clear of any liens or Mortgages
(defined below) which shall interfere with Tenant’s Permitted Use or any rights to or use of the
Premises; (c) the execution and performance of this Agreement shall not violate any provisions
of any Mortgage, lease, or other agreement binding on Landlord; (d) so long as Tenant is not in
Default, Tenant’s use and quiet enjoyment of the Premises shall not be disturbed; and (e)

supplies by Tenant. Tenant covenants and warrants that: (a) Tenant has full right, power and
authority to execute and perform this Agreement; (b) Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost
and expense, for maintaining all portions of the Premises.
17. Environmental Laws. Landlord and Tenant agree that each will be responsible for
compliance with all federal, state and local laws in connection with any substances brought onto
the Property that are identified by any law, ordinance or regulation as hazardous, toxic or
dangerous (collectively, the “Hazardous Substances”). Tenant agrees to be responsible for all
losses or damage caused by any Hazardous Substances that it may bring onto the Property and
will indemnify Landlord for all such losses or damages, other actions required to comply with
applicable law. Landlord represents that it has no knowledge of any Hazardous Substances on
the Property. In the event Tenant becomes aware of any Hazardous Substances on the Property,
or any environmental, health or safety condition or matter relating to the Property, which was not
caused by Tenant, that, in Tenant’s sole determination, renders the condition of the Premises or
Property unsuitable for Tenant’s use, or if Tenant believes that the leasing or continued leasing
of the Premises would expose Tenant to undue risks of liability to a government agency or other
third party, then Tenant will have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have at law or
in equity, to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Landlord.
18. Assignment.
a) Tenant will have the right to assign, sell or transfer its interest under this Agreement
upon notice to but without the approval or consent of Landlord, to any entity controlling,
controlled by, or under common control with Tenant, or to any entity which acquires all or
DocuSign Envelope ID: 9132CF38-16A8-4A85-9AB1-ACCC01C4011B
substantially all of the Tenant’s assets in the market defined by the Federal Communications
Commission in which the Property is located by reason of a merger, acquisition, or other
business reorganization, provided (a) Landlord is provided written notice of such event and (b)
such assignee agrees to assume all liabilities and obligations of Tenant under this Agreement. As
to other parties, Tenant’s rights under this Agreement may not be sold, assigned or transferred
without the written consent of the Landlord, which such consent or refusal to consent shall be
based upon Landlord’s reasonable evaluation of the ability of the proposed transferee to fully and
completely carry out all of the obligations of the Tenant for the remainder of the term of this
Agreement, including any mandatory option periods. In no event shall Tenant have the right to
sublease the Premises or permit the collocation of any third party’s equipment within the
Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole
discretion. Any attempted assignment by Tenant in violation of this Section shall be null and
void and of no effect whatsoever.
b) Landlord shall be permitted to freely assign this Agreement to the purchaser in
connection with a sale of the Property and/or lease space within the Property (excluding the
Premises) at all times. Landlord may sell the Property or a portion thereof to a third party,
provided: (i) the sale is made subject to the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) if the sale does not
include the assignment of Landlord’s full interest in this Agreement, the purchaser must agree to
perform, without requiring compensation from Tenant or any subtenant, any obligation of
Landlord under this Agreement, including Landlord’s obligation to cooperate with Tenant as
provided hereunder. If Landlord, at any time during the Term of this Agreement, decides to sell
or otherwise transfer all or any part of the Premises, or all or any part of the Property, to a
purchaser other than Tenant, Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant in writing, and such sale, or
transfer shall be subject to this Agreement and Tenant’s rights hereunder. In the event of a
change in ownership, transfer or sale of the Property, within ten (10) days of such transfer,
Landlord or its successor shall send the following documents to Tenant: (i) deed or other
instrument transferring the Property; (ii) IRS Form W-9 from the transferee; (iii) completed and
signed Tenant Payment Direction Form; (iv) full contact information for the transferee including
phone number(s).
19. Relocation. Landlord reserves the right to perform structural maintenance on the
Monopole. Landlord must provide Tenant at least one hundred eighty (180) days’ prior written
notice of any repairs, maintenance or other work (the “Work”) during the Term of this
Agreement which would require the relocation of the Antenna Facilities, absent emergency
circumstances, and the opportunity to temporarily relocate and continue to operate its antennas,
or otherwise to secure the antennas or the Antenna Facilities generally, to protect them from
damage and allow Tenant’s continued operation. Tenant will be permitted to install any type of
temporary facility necessary to keep its Antenna Facilities operational. Any maintenance will be
conducted by Landlord as diligently and expeditiously as possible. Tenant shall cooperate with
Landlord’s request at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
20. Marking and Lighting Requirements. Landlord acknowledges that Landlord shall be
responsible for compliance with all marking and lighting requirements of the Federal Aviation
DocuSign Envelope ID: 9132CF38-16A8-4A85-9AB1-ACCC01C4011B
Administration and the FCC. Landlord, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and hold
Tenant harmless from any fines or other liabilities caused by Landlord's failure to comply with
these requirements.
21. Miscellaneous.
a) The prevailing party in any litigation or other legal proceedings arising under this
Agreement (including any appeals and any insolvency actions) shall be entitled to reimbursement
from the non-prevailing party for reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.
b) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties, and
supersedes all offers, negotiations and other agreements with respect to the subject matter and
Property. Any amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and executed by both parties.
c) Landlord agrees to reasonably cooperate with Tenant in executing any documents
which Tenant deems necessary to ensure and protect Tenant’s rights in, or use of, the Premises.
Landlord shall execute and deliver: (i) a Memorandum of Lease in substantially the form
attached as Exhibit C; and (ii) if the Property is encumbered by a deed, mortgage or other
security interest (each, a “Mortgage”), a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment
agreement using Tenant’s form.
d) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Colorado. Jurisdiction and venue for any judicial proceeding under or construing this Agreement
shall be proper and exclusive in the state courts for Jefferson County, Colorado.
e) If any term of this Agreement is found to be void or invalid, the remaining terms of
this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Any questions of particular interpretation
shall be interpreted as to their fair meaning.
f) Each party hereby represents and warrants to the other that this Agreement has been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by it, and that no consent or approval is required by any
lender or other person or entity in connection with the execution or performance of this
Agreement.
g) If either party is represented by any broker or any other leasing agent, such party is
responsible for all commission fee or other payment to such agent.
h) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute a single instrument. Signed
facsimile and electronic copies of this Agreement shall legally bind the Parties to the same extent
as original documents.
i) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed as a contractual waiver of any
immunities or defenses provided to Landlord under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, §
24-10-101, et seq., C.R.S., as amended, or any other applicable law.
j) All financial obligations of the Landlord under this Agreement are contingent upon
annual appropriation, budgeting, and availability of specific funds to discharge such obligations.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 9132CF38-16A8-4A85-9AB1-ACCC01C4011B
Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create a debt or multiple fiscal year financial
obligation of the Landlord, a pledge of the credit of the Landlord, or a collection or payment
guarantee by the Landlord.
k) Either party shall, at any time upon twenty (20) business days prior written notice from
the other, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a statement in writing (i) certifying that
this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of
such modification and certifying this Agreement, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and
the date to which the Rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (ii) acknowledging that
there are not, to such party’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the other party
hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, (iii) confirming the Rent due under this
Agreement and (iv) confirming whether Rent hereunder has been prepaid, and if so, the period of
such prepayment. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective
purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises.
l) In the event the Agreement is not fully executed and returned to the other party within
thirty (30) days after the date the first party executes the Agreement, the Agreement shall be null
and void and the parties shall have no further obligations to each other.
m) Upon completion of installation of the Antenna Facilities, Tenant will promptly
furnish Landlord with “as built” drawings and copies of the following verifications: (a) site
photos, and (b) building permit and related building and electrical inspection and (c) lien releases
from its contractor(s), as applicable.
n) Other than as specifically provided for herein, neither party shall be entitled to claim or
recover any form of damages, including without limitation, punitive, consequential, exemplary
or economic, including lost profits.
o) Landlord waives any and all lien rights it may have, statutory or otherwise, concerning
the Antenna Facilities or any portion thereof. The Antenna Facilities shall be deemed personal
property for purposes of this Agreement, regardless of whether any portion is deemed real or
personal property under applicable law; Landlord consents to Tenant’s right to remove all or any
portion of the Antenna Facilities from time to time in Tenant’s sole discretion and without
Landlord’s consent.

The City has a cell tower lease in place with T-Mobile West, LLC which was signed by Mayor DiTullio on September 14, 2006. While negotiating new lease terms, the existing lease expired, and the City has provided for a month-to-month extension until a new lease is approved.
City Council approved a Site Lease Agreement with T-Mobile on first reading on June 13, 2022.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No financial impact.
BACKGROUND: Due to aging infrastructure and changes to technology over the years, T-Mobile West, LLC,
along with two other cellular carriers, would like to demolish the existing cellular tower located
at City Hall and construct a new monopole cellular tower. This Temporary Site License
Council Action Form – Temporary Site License Agreement with T-Mobile West, LLC June 13, 2022

_____________________________ Director of Parks & Recreation City Manager
ISSUE:
The City has reached its occupational limits to house employees comfortably, effectively, and equitably. Its facilities have been well maintained; however, a majority of the portfolio is cramped, outdated, and burdened by deferred maintenance. To date, there have been no such
efforts to evaluate the condition of the entirety of the City’s owned and occupied portfolio, nor development of a plan for what comes next for its facilities to meet the challenges of an evolving
working environment and workforce. This motion will award a contract in the amount of
$188,534.60 to complete a 10-year Facilities Master Plan for the City to Stantec Architecture
Inc.
Council Action Form – Facilities Master Plan June 13, 2022
Page 2
PRIOR ACTION: During the 2022 budget process, Council requested that staff prioritize the completion of a
facilities master plan to assess existing assets and determine options for future development.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost to conduct the physical facility condition assessment of seven (7) sites – City Hall; Wheat Ridge Recreation Center; Active Adult Center; Anderson Community Building; Parks, Forestry, and Open Space Offices; Parks Shops; and Public Works – including the development
of Building Information Models (BIM) is $71,750.00. The cost to review existing
documentation, conduct interviews, organize and run meetings and workshops, and develop
reports is $106,001.00. The fee associated with estimating the future implementation costs contained in the master plan is $10,000.00. Reimbursable expenses for the project team are
$783.60. This brings the total cost of the project to $188,534.60.
During the 2022 Budget process, Staff notified City Council that there was an excess of
approximately $90,000 in the budget for property liability insurance premiums. A consensus was
reached by City Council at that time to divert this funding to a facilities master plan. The remaining $98,534.60 is requested through a budget supplemental from General Fund
undesignated reserves to complete this project.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s owned facilities have reached capacity for housing employees, making it difficult to
keep up with the growth of the workforce and dynamics of the evolving workspace. Finding space for new employees, within and adjacent to the teams they work with has become arduous. In addition to the difficulty of housing employees, building mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems have not received the necessary attention to ensure the most effective operation service
of the facilities. Many of these assets and systems are operating well past the expected useful
life, which results in inefficient operation and may result in failure.
Development of a Facilities Master Plan will create a roadmap to implement the options that will best serve the City, its employees and community. This Facilities Master Plan process will review existing documentation related to the City’s facilities and departments; interview each
department to determine gaps between existing footprints and future needs; assess the condition
of each facility and its systems; and develop prioritized projects listed for implementing recommended options from asset repairs/replacement to renovations, remodels, and new facilities.
To meet this need, the City solicited competitive bids requesting qualifications to complete a
Facilities Master Plan. The selected vendor, Stantec Architecture Inc., submitted a bid which met
the criteria. The City received three other bids, which did not reach the level of attention and personalization as that proposed by Stantec. Additionally, the proposed team for the project has deep connections with and insight into the Wheat Ridge community. Use of a project team
familiar with the project location and functionality will ensure the production of the most useful
Facilities Master Plan.

REFERENCE: City of Wheat Ridge – RFQ-22-Facilities Master Plan
Dear Ms. Mugford-Smith and Members of the Selection Committee,
Your buildings play a uniquely important role in your community, one in which vital services are provided to residents and visitors at a myriad of levels. It is critical that your facilities support those services as optimally as possible. A successful facilities master plan will enable you to develop a clear roadmap that can guide decision-making, budgets, and project implementation to maintain and enhance your facilities’ ability to support operations and service delivery.
The future of government facilities has long been shifting as models of service delivery evolve. With ever-changing approaches to work environments and models, Wheat Ridge needs a master plan that carefully considers opportunities to embrace operational shifts. These should work in harmony with existing systems and budgetary concerns while simultaneously being forward-thinking to incorporate best practices.
Our team offers a set of qualifications unlike any other team. Not only do we bring professional experience that is perfectly suited to this project type and scale, but we are Wheat Ridge residents who have a vested personal interest in the success of this master plan. In our work, we have implemented some unique and forward-thinking models to create more robust civic facilities that also welcome the community, adding a layer of social programming. We offer this combination of personal interest and creative problem-solving to you on this project.
Stantec has an experienced civic planning team that is dedicated solely to facilities master planning. Our core team is made up of a group of planners who have completed both public and private sector master plans locally and across the country, bringing a broad and relevant perspective to your project. The Abo Group has an equally extensive track record of managing complex public projects. Our firms have partnered on similar recent facilities planning projects for organizations such as the State of Colorado. Our cost estimating partner brings additional expertise, having teamed with us on multiple recent projects including the recently-completed Town of Parker Facilities Master Plan. Together, we have a depth of resources and are committed to producing the highest quality of work that will aid you in future endeavors to meet your evolving needs.
We have developed a planning process that is highly collaborative, both internally and with our clients. Our proposed approach is based on the RFP, but we expect and encourage a dialogue that will fine tune that approach to meet your budget and expectations for a plan that can serve you well into the future.
With Stantec leading the planning scope, assisted by the Abo Group leading the conditions assessment, we will bring a fun and highly collaborative process to your project to help build consensus and support for the recommended outcomes.
Through the course of the last year, we have all made adjustments to work in different ways, many of which will have bearing on the future. For our civic clients, this means shifting paradigms about how employees conduct their job responsibilities and how services are delivered to clients and the community. As workplace strategy experts, we have successfully navigated the ever-changing landscape of workplace planning, providing plans that are able to adapt to changing workplace conditions and preferences. As part of this project, we will imaginatively explore potential space use scenarios to prepare Wheat Ridge for these and future changes to the workplace.
Well before the current global events, our firms had been working collaboratively across teams and offices in our organizations using powerful tools to enable us to be as effective working in hybrid meetings as we are in person. Fortunately for Wheat Ridge, our local presence allows us to be responsive quickly and easily when the need arises, both virtually and in person. Our team provides both the national expertise and the reliable, local performance that are necessary for a successful master planning process.

Town of Parker Comprehensive Facilities Master Plan
Parker, Colorado
This study began in early 2021 and was concluded with a presentation to the Town Council in November of the same year. The scope of the study included a facilities conditions assessment of the Town’s primary occupied buildings and a space needs assessment for existing and projected space requirements, and it included all of the organization’s departments - including administration, public works, parks and recreation, and others - which provide services to over 50,000 residents of the Town.
Through detailed analysis of the Town’s service-delivery and operational models, including changes to workplace requirements as a result of the pandemic, Stantec provided recommendations for consolidating services that are currently spread over multiple Town buildings. Stantec’s recommendations work in conjunction with the Town’s development and strategic plans in order to support the stated goals and priorities of both.

Stantec
Boulder City is like a snapshot in time. Despite the large-scale and fast-paced
development of nearby Las Vegas, Boulder City has remained quaint, reserved, and
respectfully un-glitzy.
The Police Department is in a former post office; City Hall is in the original town
elementary school; the events center is a former communal living religious center;
the food bank is in a historic building that once served as a public utility building.
The City’s aging population places great value on preserving and honoring history
while allocating resources wisely. The City staff make-up is also mature, however
they’re very forward thinking and desire upgrades to facilities and services to
improve customer service and better align with their peers.
The planning process included visioning, data collection, analysis, facility
assessments, development of alternatives, and final recommendations.
A visioning session was held at the onset of the project with key stakeholders
representing each of the city departments. This session established the overall
vision for the plan and set project goals.
Data collection included surveys, interviews, tours of currently occupied spaces,
site observations, analyses of opportunities and constraints, review of historical
data, and building drawings. Existing physical building conditions were assessed
for approximately 50 facilities, primarily focused on occupied buildings. Upon
completion of data collection, a “Space Needs Program” was developed to quantify
current and future space needs and to qualify operational requirements including
critical adjacencies, service delivery, efficiencies, safety, and security. This
resulted in a “gap analysis,” which highlights space deficits.
Stantec developed a set of alternative solutions and facilitated two interactive
workshops where the client reviewed the options, their pros and cons, potential
phasing, and implementation issues. The preferred options were then refined, and
cost estimates were developed to further inform the City regarding implications
to budget and implementation schedule. These were presented in a second
workshop. Consensus by the Advisory Team was reached on the recommended
directions, which were then incorporated into the final recommendations.

City of Wheat Ridge || RFQ-22-Facility Master Planning
Stantec worked with the City of Aspen to create a twenty year facilities
master plan for all City functions including City Hall Administration,
Police, Parks and Recreation, and Utilities. The scope included detailed
space needs programming; existing conditions assessments of all City
facilities and sites; development of multiple scenarios to meet long term
needs; building and site development concepts that include new building
construction, remodel, demolition, and expansion options. Analysis included
parking and security considerations, best practices and benchmarking
comparisons, and cost estimating both for standalone projects and a
capital plan for critical maintenance items. Stantec worked collaboratively
with a steering committee conducting workshops as well as meetings with
each department, City-wide meetings, City Council presentations, and public
outreach sessions. In addition, Stantec facilitated coordination between
the City and Pitkin County, for which Stantec conducted a separate but
parallel facilities master plan for County Administration and Justice Center
functions.
Stantec developed a set of alternative solutions and presented them in the
first of two interactive workshops where the client reviewed the options,
their pros and cons, potential phasing, and implementation issues. The
preferred options were then refined, and cost estimates were developed to
further inform the City regarding implications to budget and implementation
schedule. These were presented in a second workshop. Consensus by the
Advisory Team was reached on the recommended directions, which were
then incorporated into the final recommendations.

Denver Federal Center Master Plan
Stantec Architecture is contracted under Abo Group on a multi-year agreement with the
General Services Administration, providing design services that fall outside of their primary
discipline of architecture. The Denver Federal Center (DFC) is a 640 acre secured federal
facility operated by General Services Administration (GSA) and is used for office, research,
and administrative purposes by 26 Federals Agencies. There are approximately 4.1 million
square feet of space in 65 active buildings, and The Abo Group inventoried all 65 buildings, visually inspected them and with data provided
by the Federal Center GSA Property Management team, prepared a facility assessment document that forecasted the estimated life cycle of
each building.

Stantec Architecture is contracted to the State of Colorado in a multi-year design
services agreement for on-call projects including Workplace Strategy Solutions/
Facilities Planning. Stantec has been providing planning and strategy services to
the state for over a decade. Stantec has been working with the Statewide Planning
Manager on this massive effort, with Abo Group as a subcontractor.
Stantec was initially contracted to provide planning and strategy services in 2017 with the agencies located in downtown Denver. The
project was put on hold, and then completed during the pandemic in 2021. The Stantec team developed several collaborative and interactive
on-line workshops to understand the distinct needs of each agency. The team then developed a unified strategy that could be rolled out
and applied to all agencies, maximizing owned space, and reducing leased space while maintaining the needs of each individual agency.
Planning goals included consolidation of spaces that were duplicated among multiple agencies. The team also considered the possibility
of new work styles including hybrid work, showing opportunities for space savings. The project has reduced space needs while maintaining
necessary work areas. Stantec is now working with a number of those agencies to implement those strategies.

d. EXPERIENCE OVERSEEING AND COORDINATING MULTIPLE, CONCURRENT PROJECTS.
Sydney leads Stantec's public-sector facilities planning group and has served as project manager for multiple projects just like this one. She is adept at managing multi-disciplinary teams through collaborative processes: facilitating interactive workshops, visioning sessions, and interviews, and conducting research, analysis, and documentation of facilities, trends, utilization, surveys, and other data to develop innovative solutions that are tailored to each client’s needs.
e. TEAM'S FAMILIARITY WITH THE PROJECT AREA AND LOCAL CONSTRUCTION MARKET.
The Abo Group has successfully completed hundreds of projects in the Denver Metro area, including 6 projects in the City of Wheat Ridge. The Abo Group is knowledgeable of the local labor markets and availability of appropriate materials. We have extensive experience working with Denver-market general contractors and clients to meet their budgets through the design and selection of durable, sustainable, and budget-friendly materials. We have strong relationships with industry partners in the region, enabling competitive pricing, and we understand how these partners’ products perform in similar site conditions.
We also understand the supply chain issues since we are currently working on several large projects experiencing delays with materials such as steel and mechanical systems.
f. STATE ANY MBE/WBE, DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PARTICIPATION.
Although Stantec is not a M/WBE, small or disadvantaged certified firm, we believe strongly that small businesses are an economic engine of growth and can help support clients’ needs. Our policy is to include subcontracting opportunities for small and diverse business partners for meaningful roles on independent tasks that help build their technical capacity and enhance their prospects for growth. We strive to develop long-term relationships with small business partners either as a prime or sub consultant.
Small businesses bring tremendous energy, entrepreneurial zeal, and specialized technical expertise that is also part of the culture at Stantec. We cultivate partnerships with small businesses that are mutually beneficial and provide growth opportunity for both parties.
g. PROVIDE A STATEMENT AGREEING TO PROVIDE AND MAINTAIN INSURANCE PER THE RFP REQUIREMENTS, IF AWARDED.
Stantec agrees to the insurance requirements per the RFP.
Stantec believes that small businesses are an economic engine of growth and can help support clients’ needs.
Stantec performed extrao rdinarily well during an unprecedented time to ensure we achieved our two goals of providing the most efficient use of tax dollars in designing the new workplace and creating a citizen-focused environment for those utilizing the Capitol complex. I highly recommend Stantec for your next master planning project.
- John Boyle, Director, Facilities Management, State of North Dakota
Stantec has been A++ to work with, and the fact the County is rolling into $120M of construction so quickly after completion of the Facilities Master plan speaks volumes to the quality and effectiveness of the project. Great job!

h. DISCLOSE ANY RELATIONSHIPS THE OWNER OR EMPLOYEES MAY HAVE THAT COULD BE CONSTRUED OR PERCEIVED AS PERSONAL OR ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.
Stantec is not aware of any past or present involvement in projects, or with clients, that constitute or appear to constitute a conflict of interest. Stantec has an internal policy for evaluating, managing, and disclosing potential conflicts of interest. Our preferred method to managing conflict of interest is open conversations with both parties to discuss the potential issues and methods for resolution. If a potential conflict is perceived, simultaneous work being done for another entity can be separated internally by creating a virtual firewall.
i. FIRM’S FINANCIAL STABILITY
We have included a copy of our most recent (2020) annual report detailing profit and loss for the past three years on the right. Our 2021 report is currently being finalized.
Stantec Inc. is a publicly traded entity listed on the New York Stock Exchange (Symbol: STN) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (Symbol: STN). We are required to be financially stable in order to maintain these listings and we are required to adhere to the Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission “(2013 framework)” (the COSO criteria). We are subject to ongoing independent audits that prove our financial stability and credit worthiness. For a complete view of our audited financial statements, visit the Financial Information section of our web site at https://www.stantec.com/en/investors/stantec-financial-information.
Please note that Stantec Inc.’s operating subsidiaries and affiliates (e.g., Stantec Consulting Ltd., Stantec Consulting Services Inc., etc.) are not publicly traded, but are owned and/or controlled by Stantec Inc. Stantec Inc.’s financial statements are consolidated to include its subsidiaries and structured entities that are controlled, but do not necessarily include all affiliates.
j. DETAIL ANY RECYCLING, SUSTAINABLE, OR GREENING EFFORTS MADE BY YOUR FIRM.
Our dedication to sustainability is mirrored in Stantec’s corporate priorities. Committing to carbon neutrality by 2022 and to being net-zero by 2030, we were recognized by Corporate Knights in 2022 as being among the top 1% in the world on sustainable performance.
This alone is a great differentiator that is amplified by the collaboration that exists within Stantec amongst the many sectors that work together daily to deliver the highest quality service possible. Our commissioning & energy services team, working side by side with our high-performance building team, sustainability team, carbon impact team, environmental groups, and internal experts, allows us to be anywhere and everywhere, ready to answer any question in real time and offer the best solution for our partners on every project we work on together.

a. KEY TEAM MEMBERSStantec's Denver office has been contracting with local municipalities and government agencies for over 40 years. This experience includes hundreds of projects with public entities across Colorado. This team has been a part of numerous contracts for similar facilities assessments, some include clients such as Larimer County, Denver Public Works, and Summit County. We are confident in our understanding of government and municipal requirements anticipated on this project.
Our team has completed facilities master plans for cities and counties throughout Colorado, as well as numerous other government entities across the state. We have a deep portfolio of facility programming, at scales ranging from a single building in a rural community to major metropolitan system-wide efforts. We assist clients in establishing the need, size, and phasing for new facilities as well as optimizing, transitioning, and backfilling existing facilities. This depth of experience provides an intimate understanding of commonalities seen across jurisdictions, as well as a knowledge of those areas that tend to be unique, sensitive, or just different from client to client..

PLANNING VALUES
We view a facilities master plan as an opportunity to create a holistic, visionary framework that will guide and streamline facilities decisions into the future for the spectrum of your services. A master plan needs to provide an understanding of where you are, where you need to be, and where you are going. The plan should outline building blocks that create a strong foundation and a strategic direction but should maintain the flexibility to adapt to inevitable change.
When creating a master plan, we promote a series of values that ensure a successful project: trust through collaboration, evidence-based research, and a focus on success.
TRUST THROUGH COLLABORATION
Stantec’s project approach is built on establishing trust. Throughout the project, we will listen closely to your needs, concerns, and expectations. As we lead the effort, our goal is to establish a sense of community and consensus-building, arrive at optimal solutions, and foster open and thought-provoking dialogue. Our process is specifically tailored to engage stakeholders from the very start. We utilize a highly interactive workshop format at key points in the process to solicit input, participation, and collaboration, and to establish transparency with critical stakeholders who are the true experts in understanding what our city needs. We have found this format to be extremely valuable for moving master planning projects forward in a short period of time while involving multiple user groups and agendas.
EVIDENCE-BASED RESEARCH
We will develop the needs assessment and options using an evidence-based approach consistent with industry best practices and tailored for the specific needs of Wheat Ridge.
FOCUS ON SUCCESS
Stantec’s project approach combines collaboration, leadership, and facilitation—proven tools and methodologies to ensure that your project is successful. For every project, we begin by helping you define your specific criteria for project success to understand what is most important to Wheat Ridge and its facilities master plan. These criteria become the guiding principles for the project team.
Our planning philosophy for civic facilities master plans is centered on:
• Facilitating and creating optimal service delivery
• Promoting health, wellbeing, and safety for Wheat Ridge citizens and employees
• Being budget- and value-driven
• Incorporating best practices
• Maximizing efficiency, flexibility, and functionality
• Providing adaptability and resiliency for future growth and/or changing needs
• Supporting the varying work styles of Wheat Ridge employees
• Promoting collaboration, interaction, and socialization among stakeholders
• Projecting and representing a civic and community presence and hub

PROGRAMMING AND MASTER PLANNING APPROACH
This master plan will be vital to understanding current and future space needs and to plan appropriately for the future needs of Wheat Ridge and its citizens and visitors. We have provided a process diagram on the following page.
Start-Up• Steering Committee Role and ResponsibilitiesThe success of the project will rely to a great degree on this group of decision makers who will review and approve documents, attend key meetings and workshops, and assist in providing strategic direction and supporting recommendations as we move through the planning process.
Depending on the make-up of the Steering Committee, we may also need to identify additional representatives from city functions (not represented in the Steering Committee) who can be points of contact for interviews, provide departmental/user group data, and who can participate in key meetings and workshops through the life of the project.
• Kick-Off Meeting with Steering CommitteeSydney will be your primary point of contact throughout the project. At the project kick-off meeting, we will finalize a detailed schedule identifying key dates, meetings, milestones, deadlines, and management processes associated with efficient delivery of the project. A regular communication schedule will be instituted to cater to your preferences for frequency and method (e.g. teleconference, conference call, or face-to-face). This is an opportunity to establish the foundation for the client/consultant working relationship that will be maintained over the life of the project. The meeting will also provide the opportunity for Wheat Ridge to provide relevant background information that can help inform the Stantec team.
• Collect and Review Background InformationWe will collect and review the background information provided by the City of Wheat Ridge. This will allow us to be better informed going into the initial workshops and interviews. Some of this data may be collected at the time of the user group interviews. This will include, but not be limited to:
• Previously completed or drafts of planning studies
• Drawings as available including: CAD drawings for owned buildings included in the scope; occupancy plans showing departmental boundaries in multi-occupant buildings; floor plans including for leased spaces
• Site plans as available
• Lease agreement terms if applicable (start dates, termination dates, lease rates etc.)
• Previously completed facility conditions reports, audits of building systems, roof reports, etc.
• Current and historical staffing data by department, and any staffing projections recently developed by any departments, if available
• Customer data for functions with high customer interface either on- or off-site (e.g. average number of daily client contacts at a Central Services facility or rental history at a city-owned venue)
• City vehicle inventory

City of Wheat Ridge || RFQ-22-Facility Master Planning
Visioning• Visioning WorkshopStantec will conduct a preliminary workshop with the Steering Committee and other key stakeholders to:
• Review key drivers for the project
• Identify initial “hot buttons” and critical issues
• Discuss preferred directions for Wheat Ridge, including potential shifts in service delivery and/or operational models
• Create an overarching vision statement
• Define criteria for project success
The graphic below is an example of results from a prioritization exercise held in a client Visioning Session. In this example, top priorities were “city image” and “culture and workplace.”
• Distribute Programming Questionnaires to Departments
These will address issues including, but not limited to: current and projected staffing, space utilization, space deficiencies, operational inefficiencies, vehicle, materials and equipment storage, critical adjacencies, security requirements, work environment conditions, and customer service delivery issues. Wheat Ridge will have an opportunity to review and revise the questionnaires prior to distribution in order to ensure that appropriate information is being sought.
Data Collection• Conduct Interviews and Tour Currently Occupied SpaceIn addition to reviewing background materials provided by the City, the primary data collection occurs through user group interviews and facility tours associated with the interviews.
All user groups identified in the RFP will be interviewed. Department directors, key direct reports, and area experts from the professional/technical/field staff will be invited to participate to touch all levels of each functional group, however it is not recommended that this be an “all staff” meeting as that can impede productive programming discussions. Information technology and facilities departments may be involved in multiple interviews for those facilities and/or functions where building and/or technology issues are critical. Physical walk-throughs of the space occupied by each user group will supplement the information provided through the surveys and interviews. City-provided occupancy drawings showing functional or ownership boundaries within each facility will be verified.
• Benchmarks and Best PracticesA key component of facilities planning is understanding where improvements can be made to be more in-line with best practices that have been put in place in other organizations with similar operations, space types, and functional requirements. While best practices are sometimes more policy-related than space- or facility-related,changes to “how we do business” can often have space and facility implications. Standards used to quantify the space needs program will be developed using an evidence-based approach to compare in-place standards with benchmarks and industry best practices, considering defined space utilization, work environment, and operational and efficiency goals set by Wheat Ridge. Our team brings specific expertise in each of the primary space types that are part of this master plan and we can draw on both our planning and design experience in each of these areas to inform the proposed refinement of your current standards as needed.
Stantec has extensive experience in public and private sector workplace trends that are driving office space use and design. We also have significant experience working with institutions, elected officials, and legislative functions. It is critical to incorporate workplace trends at the planning stage.

38Anticipated Timeline for the Scope of Work
City of Wheat Ridge || RFQ-22-Facility Master Planning
• Conditions Assessments Building Conditions Assessments will consist of the following:
• Site visit and visual investigation of each building.
• Meet with the facility managers of each building.
• Review existing drawings and documents.
• Conduct high-level assessment of the condition of architectural, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, plumbing, fire suppression, power, lighting, fire alarm, and technology building systems of each building.
• Prepare a report of findings of the condition of the building sys-tems to be reviewed and approved by Wheat Ridge
• Provide building condition assessment information and opinions related to Alternatives Development.
• Assist in developing building condition assessment in the final report.
• Preliminary Findings ReportUpon completion of the interviews, tours, and benchmarking we will compile a report of preliminary findings for review with the Steering Committee to ensure that the team is moving forward with the right assumptions, and accurate and complete information. Using the data collected, Stantec will analyze space needs and document qualified and quantified requirements in both a narrative and excel based dataset format. This format will be developed with input from Wheat Ridge to make sure it will be a useful and updateable tool for the City to use beyond the completion of this project.
The areas of analysis will include the following:
• Analyze Current Operational and Functional Conditions
Including current service delivery models with respect to space implications, adjacency requirements, space deficiencies or inefficiencies, workflow, and other critical elements.
• Develop Staffing Projections and Preliminary Space Needs Program
Staffing projections will be developed based on discussions with each department, historical trends, correlations with city population, service delivery goals, material and data storage requirements, and other parameters agreed to in conjunction with Wheat Ridge decision makers. Parameters typically differ from department to department.
The Space Needs Program will be organized by department and will define existing space use, currently required space, and projected space needs for the desired planning timeframes. Optimal adjacencies and operational service delivery requirements will be defined.
At a master planning level, square feet per person targets will be established for each unique function. Existing conditions will be assessed to see how this compares with the target, where the specific surplus or deficits may be, and how that function can get closer to the target. This “right-sized” requirement will then be applied to projected staffing and service delivery goals to project future space need.
Stantec
39Anticipated Timeline for the Scope of Work
City of Wheat Ridge || RFQ-22-Facility Master Planning
• Develop Gap Analysis
This analysis will compare required and projected space needs with available inventory, identifying gaps in square footage and/or appropriate types of space. We utilize a variety of data collection, data analytics, and data graphics tools. Our planning team uses a powerful software tool, Tableau, which we employ to process and filter data to help us quickly look at what complex information input is telling us, and to be able to display it in a way that makes it easily interpreted and understood by a variety of audiences. We use Tableau to:
• Compare existing versus required square footages over time in gap analyses
• Process and sort space utilization data from sources like room scheduling systems and access badge data
• Run space occupancy scenarios with plug and play blocks of space, placing required space into available space across floors and buildings
These analytics and graphics can be a static snapshot in a report or presentation or in some cases, can be manipulated in real time during workshops or planning sessions to help decision making and brainstorming. The example provided below shows a gap analyses for the criminal justice and public safety functions in Larimer County comparing existing and available square feet to required and projected square feet in each current location.
• Present Preliminary Findings to the Steering Committee
Problem Solving• Develop Preliminary Alternatives Our team will develop preliminary options to address gaps identified, as well as operational and service delivery requirements. This will be done at a departmental level while considering the “big picture” for Wheat Ridge as a whole. This may include “test-fit” block plans to validate the feasibility of any options being proposed. We will identify practical opportunities to correct operational deficiencies, and will analyze the capacity and feasibility to renovate, expand or replace facilities.
The graphic on the following page illustrates a scenario planning exercise from a stakeholder workshop.
• Conduct Alternatives Development Workshop #1 with Stakeholders. Using an interactive workshop format, the Steering Committee and stakeholders will review and discuss these alternatives and narrow down a preferred direction. The proposed structure of the workshop is a half-day session with representatives from all user groups. This allows each sub-group to focus on their unique agendas, facility types, and issues, with an opportunity for all stakeholders to hear from each other and brainstorm about the broader needs of the organization.

• Optional Public EngagementStantec is well-versed in conducting public outreach and engagement through a variety of formats, both virtual and in-person. If desired, we will work with Wheat Ridge to determine the appropriate format for your public outreach initiatives. The goal of the initiative will be to inform the public on the process as well as to solicit feedback and foster support for the preferred directions outlined in the master plan. It is recommended that this initiative take place during the problem-solving phase of the project. We will work with you to determine the appropriate scope and fee for this optional service.
• Refine Preferred Directions and Prepare Preliminary Cost Implications Preferred directions will be refined based on input from the first workshop. Preliminary cost estimates will be generated at a cost/square foot level for these preferred solutions. These estimates will analyze recommendations for maintenance, upgrades, renovation and replacement of buildings, and/or building components. The analysis can result in strategies to extend building life expectancies and provide critical assistance in decisions regarding building disposition, replacement or continued use, and comparing the cost effectiveness of these potential options.
The estimating process will be priced out at current market costs with estimated projections based on the implementation schedule. Capital renewal costs will be clearly distinguished from other capital project costs. Costs will be reported as new construction, demolition, and moderate to extensive renovations. The areas defined as such will be ascertained in consultations with the architects and engineers and site visits as needed to get a better understanding of the scope. All estimates will have the appropriate markups for general conditions, bonding, profit, and escalation.
• Develop Site and Facility Specific Planning ConceptsOver the course of programming and alternatives development, certain buildings and/or departments may show need for an increase in space that may trigger the expansion of an existing building or adaptive reuse or new construction of a building on or off-site. In this case, the project team will provide concept-level site planning, which will show a proposed footprint and massing diagram of a new building or building addition as well as other site features such as parking, transportation options, and access drives.
• Conduct Alternatives Development Workshop #2Preferred directions will provide the “end game” that Wheat Ridge ultimately wants to reach. This workshop will focus on prioritization of these goals and objectives and developing a phased implementation plan to achieve those.
Final Report• Present Preliminary Recommendations Workshop results and emerging recommendations will be presented to the Steering Committee to obtain consent and approval of the proposed course of action. Following approval, additional city leadership may be briefed if desired. The Steering Committee will have a final opportunity to provide comments, which will be incorporated into the final facilities master plan. Recommendations will include consideration and impacts of federal, state and local codes and regulations including the American’s with Disabilities Act, Uniform Building Codes, and security measures, at a minimum. Stantec will finalize the phasing plan, refine the estimates of probable cost by phase, and finalize any concept plan graphics for the final report.

Reference: City of Wheat Ridge Facilities Master Plan
Dear Mr. Gibbs:
The following scope outlines our assumptions for providing a 10-year facilities master plan for the City of Wheat
Ridge, Colorado.
We anticipate a project duration of approximately 20 weeks. Approximate phase durations are included below.
These may be adjusted based on The City’s needs and preferences as well as holiday impacts.
Project Background
The City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado, is located approximately 6 miles west of Denver and is home to nearly 31,000
residents.
The City currently manages 7 buildings and 6 historical properties, providing nearly 150,000 square feet for
approximately 400 City employees, as well as Colorado Parks and Recreation Association staff (a non-profit agency).
PHASE I
Start-Up and Visioning (approx. 5 weeks)
The City should establish a Steering Committee that will serve as reviewers and decision-makers throughout the
project. Steering Committee members should attend the Kick-off meeting and Visioning Session, the Interim
Presentation, and the Alternatives Workshops.
Sydney will be your primary point of contact throughout the project. Stantec will conduct a project Kick-off Meeting
and Visioning Session in person at your facilities. In the project kick-off meeting, we will finalize a detailed schedule
identifying key dates, meetings, and milestones. The meeting will also provide the opportunity for Wheat Ridge to
provide relevant background information that can help inform the Stantec team.
Stantec will collect and review background information provided by the City of Wheat Ridge. Some of this data may
be collected at the time of the user group interviews. Stantec understands that drawing availability is limited for
existing buildings.
·Drawings as available including: CAD drawings for owned buildings included in the scope; occupancy plans
showing departmental boundaries in multi-occupant buildings; floor plans or diagrams for leased spaces
·Site plans as available
·Lease agreement terms if applicable (start dates, termination dates, lease rates etc.)
ATTACHMENT 3
·Previously completed facility conditions reports, audits of building systems, roof reports, etc.
·Current and historical staffing data by department, and any staffing projections recently developed by any
departments
·Customer data for functions with high customer interface either on- or off-site (e.g. average number of daily
client contacts, rental history at a city-owned venue)
·City vehicle inventory
Stantec will conduct a Visioning Workshop with the Steering Committee and other key stakeholders to:
·Review key drivers for the project
·Identify initial “hot buttons” and critical issues
·Discuss preferred directions for Wheat Ridge, including potential shifts in service delivery and/or operational
models
·Create an overarching vision statement
·Define criteria for project success
Stantec will prepare programming questionnaires that will address issues including, but not limited to: current and
projected staffing, space utilization, space deficiencies, operational inefficiencies, vehicle, materials and equipment
storage, critical adjacencies, security requirements, work environment conditions, and customer service delivery
issues. Wheat Ridge will review and approve the survey format and content prior to distribution in digital (online)
format. Wheat Ridge will coordinate survey distribution and Stantec will coordinate gathering, compiling, and
analyzing the results.
Data Collection (approx. 7 weeks)
Following collection of the surveys, Stantec will interview representatives from each of the City’s departments. The
representative should be the department and division directors, or key direct reports may also be included.
Interviews will be conducted in person at your facilities, followed by physical walk-throughs of the space occupied by
each user group. City-provided occupancy drawings showing functional or ownership boundaries within each facility
will be verified.
This proposal assumes a minimum of 7 interviews over the course of 2 weeks, however this can be adjusted to meet
organization-specific needs. Wheat Ridge will coordinate scheduling of interviews. The following is suggested:
1. Administrative Services
2. Municipal Court
3. Community Development
4. City Manager’s Office
5. Parks and Recreation Association
6. Police Department
7. Public Works
Stantec will conduct research on peer benchmarks for space use in order to compare Wheat Ridge’s usage and
create target planning metrics and space planning standards for future projects.
An assessment of the physical conditions of existing facilities will be led by Stantec’s consultants. This process will
include site visits and visual investigation of each building as described below. Wheat Ridge will work with the
consultant team to coordinate meetings with the facility managers of each building prior to observations. Facility
managers may be present during observations. Facilities will include:
Building Description Occupancy SQ FT
City Hall Administrative Services, City Manager’s Office, Community
Development, Municipal Court, Police Department
36,000
Wheat Ridge Recreation Center Parks and Recreation 70,000
Active Adult Center Parks and Recreation 12,000
Anderson Community Building Parks and Recreation 8,200
Parks, Forestry, and Open Space Parks and Recreation 7,300
Parks Shops Parks and Recreation 3,000
Public Works Shops Public Works 6,000
Assessments will include review of the general architectural conditions, finishes, heating, ventilation, and air-
conditioning systems; the plumbing systems; the fire suppression systems; the power and lighting systems; the fire
alarm systems; and the technology systems of each facility. Code compliance conditions may be noted as needing
further assessment, however a full code-compliance assessment will not be performed. Existing furniture and
equipment will not be assessed.
The consultant team will have access to existing drawings and documents provided by the City as described in
previous pages.
A digital report containing the conditions assessment will be provided for review. The Steering Committee will have
2 weeks to provide comments, which will be incorporated into a final Conditions Assessments Report. This report
will be provided in digital and/or hard copy format, depending on the City’s preferences.
In addition to the Conditions Assessments Report, the team will provide BIM (Revit 2022) models containing
architectural information for:
· City Hall
· Wheat Ridge Recreation Center
· Active Adult Center
· Anderson Community Building
Upon completion of the interviews, tours, and benchmarking Stantec will present preliminary findings for review
with the Steering Committee to ensure that the team is moving forward with the right assumptions, and accurate
and complete information. This information will be presented in a virtual slide presentation format, and
presentation content will be provided to the City in the form of a digital pdf.
Programming (approx. 8 weeks)
Using the data collected, Stantec will analyze space needs and document qualified and quantified requirements in
both a narrative and excel based dataset format.
The areas of analysis will include current and forecasted operational and functional space implications, adjacency
requirements, space deficiencies or inefficiencies, workflow, and other critical elements.
Staffing projections will be developed based on discussions with each department, historical trends, correlations
with city population, service delivery goals, material and data storage requirements, and other parameters agreed to
in conjunction with Wheat Ridge decision makers. Parameters typically differ from department to department.
The Space Needs Program will be organized by department and will define existing space use, currently required
space, and projected 5-year and 10-year space needs. Optimal adjacencies and operational service delivery
requirements will be defined.
Stantec will develop a gap analysis to compare required and projected space needs with available inventory,
identifying gaps in square footage and/or appropriate types of space.
Stantec will present the Space Needs Program to the Steering Committee and provide a report in the form of a
digital pdf. Wheat Ridge will distribute this report to each department and division in order to review the
information for accuracy. Wheat Ridge will have 2 weeks to provide comments, corrections, and feedback, and
Stantec will incorporate comments into a final draft.
PHASE II
Problem Solving (approx. 8 weeks)
Our team will develop preliminary options to address gaps identified, as well as operational and service delivery
requirements. This will be done at a departmental level while considering the “big picture” for Wheat Ridge as a
whole. This may include “test-fit” block plans to validate the feasibility of any options being proposed. We will
identify practical opportunities to correct operational deficiencies, and will analyze the capacity and feasibility to
renovate, expand or replace facilities.
Stantec will facilitate an interactive workshop to review and discuss alternatives and narrow down a preferred set of
directions. The proposed structure of the workshop is a half-day session with the Steering Committee and
representatives from all user groups. This allows each sub-group to focus on their unique agendas, facility types, and
issues, with an opportunity for all stakeholders to hear from each other and brainstorm about the broader needs of
the organization.
Stantec will refine preferred directions based on input from the first workshop. Preliminary cost estimates will be
generated at a cost/square foot level for these preferred solutions. These estimates will analyze recommendations
for maintenance, upgrades, renovation, and replacement of buildings, and/or building components. The analysis
may include strategies for building disposition, replacement or continued use, and will compare the cost
effectiveness of these potential options.
The estimating process will be priced out at current market costs with estimated projections based on the
implementation schedule. Capital renewal costs will be clearly distinguished from other capital project costs. Costs
will be reported as new construction, demolition, and moderate to extensive renovations. The areas defined as such
will be ascertained in consultations with the architects and engineers and site visits as needed to get a better
understanding of the scope. All estimates will have the appropriate markups for general conditions, bonding, profit,
and escalation.
Based on input from the first workshop, Stantec will develop site- and facility-specific planning concepts. These may
include a proposed footprint and massing diagram of a new building or building addition, or other site features such
as parking, transportation options, and access drives.
Following refinement of the preferred options, Stantec will conduct a second Alternatives Workshop, presenting
phasing and cost implications, and further refining alternative concepts as required.
Final Report (approx. 6 weeks)
Workshop results and emerging recommendations will be presented in a virtual meeting to the Steering Committee
to obtain consent and approval of the proposed course of action. Following approval, Stantec will deliver a draft of
the final master plan report in digital and/or hard copy format, depending on your preferences. Recommendations
will include consideration and impacts of federal, state and local codes and regulations including the American’s
with Disabilities Act, Uniform Building Codes, and security measures, at a minimum. Stantec will finalize the phasing
plan, refine the estimates of probable cost by phase, and finalize any concept plan graphics for the final report.
The Steering Committee will have 2 weeks to provide comments, which will be incorporated into the final facilities
master plan.
If desired, Stantec will present an overview of the study process and outcomes to the City Council and/or members
of the public.
Exclusions and Provisions
Structural and civil conditions assessments will not be included. If the need for structural and/or civil assessment
becomes apparent, Stantec will provide a scope to perform the required services. Hazardous material testing and
destructive testing will not be performed.
Conditions assessment will be limited to visual inspection and information available at the time of site observation
only.
The site conditions are deemed safe for access and observation by Stantec personnel and subcontractors. If
assessment cannot be completed on originally scheduled visits) because conditions do not meet this requirement,
additional site visit will be charged on an hourly basis.
The use of cameras during site visits will be permitted.
