RE: Request for Proposal
Big Horn Parking Structure Design
Dear Mr. Pastor,
In response to your Request for Proposal, DESMAN is pleased to submit herein our proposal and qualifi ca Ɵ ons to
provide professional services for the design of the Big Horn Parking Structure, Estes Park, CO. We have carefully
read your RFP dated June 11, 2024, and Addendum No.1 issued on June 28, 2024. Our team is fully commiƩ ed and
available to deliver the services listed to ensure your goals are met and exceeded. We also learned much during the
Town’s mandatory pre-proposal meeƟ ng and lot walk-through on June 18, 2024.
DESMAN is a full-service Architectural/Engineering/Planning fi rm specializing in the design of aesthe Ɵ cally pleasing,
cost-eff ecƟ ve, and durable parking faciliƟ es. DESMAN was founded over 50 years ago off ering a comprehensive
range of professional design services associated with mulƟ -level parking structures. The fi rm has been involved in
the planning and design of over 5,000 parking projects throughout the United States with a wide array of public and
private enƟ Ɵ es, including municipaliƟ es. Our offi ce, which is located in Denver, has successfully executed a mulƟ tude
of new garage projects in the Mountain Region and Front Range, giving us a deep appreciaƟ on of the community
outreach process and the importance of building a collaboraƟ ve consensus. AddiƟ onally, our experience working
on these projects has given us a deep understanding of the region’s cold climate environment and the durability
measures that need to be taken into consideraƟ on for cost-eff ecƟ ve parking and housing soluƟ ons. Our key staff is

SECTION 2 - PROJECT APPROACH
DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT APPROACH for BIG HORN PARKING STRUCTURE (BHPS)
As noted in the RFP, the project will add approximately 135 parking spaces in downtown Estes Park. The value of those new
spaces to the nearby businesses along West Elkhorn and adjacent residences, cannot be overstated. We believe our team
is uniquely qualifi ed to maximize the number of spaces on this site while balancing cost and site context.
Our process is fl exible, broadly inclusive, parƟ cipatory, and tailored to each of our client’s needs. Where we are set is in our
approach to research is how we organize and engage with all stakeholders, and establish pathways to build consensus. We
will help you defi ne a vision with or without aff ordable housing, create guiding principles, and explore innovaƟ ve, elegant,
contextual soluƟ ons. We will explore opƟ ons for making this a green garage with environmentally sustainable objecƟ ves,
such as solar panels recycled materials, and Type IL cement with low embodied carbon content. Our team partnering with
the Estes Park community is award-winning and based out of Denver and Estes Park. Our integrated approach pushes
criƟ cal decision making to the forefront of the project where the most impact can be made with fewer surprises during
construcƟ on. You can rely on the experƟ se of the DESMAN team to help balance those factors to meet your project goals.
COMMUNITY-INFORMED DESIGN & PROGRAMMING CONCEPTS
We understand that the Town of Estes Park (TOEP) has given much thought to a
soluƟ on for the proposed parking structure to accommodate 135 spaces on three
levels, to off set the loss of on-street parking in the area. Our consultant, Vanessa
Solesbee will facilitate the community-led design objecƟ ves and coordinate with the
Town’s Public InformaƟ on Offi ce for updates. We have also engaged our architectural
partner Cushing Terrell who will also parƟ cipate in early rounds of the public outreach
meeƟ ngs. Together the team will host town hall style meeƟ ngs geared toward geƫ ng
comment and feedback on aspects of the design as appropriate for the level of design
(concept, 30% and 60%). The team will prepare graphics in the form of boards and
presentaƟ on materials and fl yers adverƟ sing the event for the Town to upload. In
addiƟ on to hosƟ ng the in-person engagement events, the team will deliver a report
summarizing and analyzing feedback received at each. We can provide outside hosƟ ng
services and management of website as an addiƟ onal service if needed.
A. Our fi rst task will be to meet with town staff to idenƟ fy key stakeholders,
understand current community senƟ ment about the project, and tailor a
parƟ cipaƟ on plan to complement the design of BHPS.
B. Meet with The TransportaƟ on Advisory Board (TAB) and stakeholders on
Cleave Street and neighborhood residents for an orientaƟ on workshop to review
concept designs for the Standalone Garage and with a 4th Level Aff ordable Housing
opƟ on. The Town staff , the EP Housing Authority, and many businesses will have
the opportunity to off er suggesƟ ons early in the conceptual phase.
C. Conduct a workshop to gather public opinion on architectural styles and
determine architectural preferences for adjacent historic buildings and known or
proposed aestheƟ cs of commercial redevelopment. Match the aestheƟ c of Cleave
Street to blend in BHPS, complimenƟ ng the historic character of neighboring
architecture. DESMAN and our partners will prepare three (3) concept design
opƟ ons, meeƟ ng materials, graphics, presentaƟ ons, and synthesize key takeaways.

TOWN OF ESTES PARK COMMITMENT
With structural and architectural opƟ ons having been fully presented, the DESMAN team
believes that TOEP will have the necessary informaƟ on to make an informed decision
either to go with a standalone parking garage or a garage that can incorporate the future
housing opƟ on. Much hinges on this decision from structural design to architecture to
MEP.
SCHEMATIC DEVELOPMENT PHASE – (30%)
Concept opƟ ons will be refi ned to show salient architectural, funcƟ onal, and structural
features that bring character and life to the parking structure, and seek the town’s
guidance on the direcƟ on of the preferred scheme for further development.
Challenges and OpportuniƟ es: The project off ers several challenges and opportuniƟ es
that our team will address at the onset to minimize the impact on cost and schedule.
The site is small and unusual with several site constraints that may reduce the parking
effi ciency and car count. This makes BHPS a non-tradiƟ onal garage in layout, shape,
and size, one that may not off er economy of scale. The future housing component and
adapƟ ve reuse add another layer of complexity. The third-level northwest bridge access
should not undermine the stability of the exisƟ ng rock wall, the garage may need to be
set off the concrete retaining wall to preclude slope stability failure. The shortage of on-
site staging area may necessitate off -site storage for the assemblage of members and
formwork. Rest assured, it will be our job to deliver an aestheƟ cally pleasing garage that
weaves in architectural, structural, and funcƟ onal effi ciency. The schedule is achievable
although it may be tricky if the unuasally large number of public engagements become
contenƟ ous, which may delay consensus building.
We have used all three delivery methods i.e. Design-Build (DB), Design-Bid-Build (DBB),
and ConstrucƟ on Manager CM) with success. Each method has its advantages and
disadvantages and depends on what the city is looking for. For example, DB can enhance
contractor parƟ cipaƟ on during design and may result in a cost-effi cient structure on a
shorter schedule. The DBB will let the public process play out elaborately and deliver a
structure that is more welcoming by the community. We recommend taking a general
approach through the end of the schemaƟ c phase at which point we can decide on the
best path forward.
Project management and public parƟ cipaƟ on process with key stakeholders will conƟ nue
in this phase, with DESMAN and DIXON conƟ nuing to lead the eff ort.
A. Important architectural issues will include:
• Quality of materials and fi nishes
• Historic character of neighboring buildings
• Sustainability features
• An appealing workforce housing level above the parking levels
• Possible adapƟ ve reuse of parking levels for housing or commercial
• Using the unusual quarter-round footprint as an opportunity to showcase
our ingenuity in maximizing parking effi ciency and circulaƟ on
Section 2 Project Approach

RFP - Big Horn Parking Structure
Town of Estes Park
B. The FuncƟ onal Design of the parking structure will focus on the following:
• Parking structure footprint, overall dimensions, and locaƟ on on the site
• Vehicle access to/from the parking and driveway; civil to show curb cut.
• Preliminary parking layout and traffi c circulaƟ on
• Parking geometrics
• Parking space tabulaƟ on and parking effi ciency
• Stair and elevator tower locaƟ on for convenient access and egress for the
garage and tenants of the future fourth-level housing
C. The Structural Design of the parking structure in this phase will include the
following:
• Development of a structure that fully integrates into the architecture and
compliments the funcƟ onal design
• EvaluaƟ on of diff erent structural systems such as CIP Post-tensioned,
precast, and hybrid, and selecƟ ng the most economical system that
opƟ mizes fl oor framing while providing a balance between iniƟ al cost and
long-term durability.
• Framing plans showing preliminary sizes of various components and their
context within the structure. The design shall conform to applicable codes
and standards using state-of-the-art technology in concrete durability and
computer modeling for various lateral and verƟ cal loads
• Preliminary foundaƟ on system and earth retenƟ on at exisƟ ng North Walls
D. Ongoing project management and public parƟ cipaƟ on as the project evolves.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PHASE – (60% and 90%)
The Architectural, FuncƟ onal, Structural, Civil, and MEP plans will be further refi ned and
developed in this phase of design by DESMAN and our partners. We will evaluate building
code implicaƟ ons related to fi rewalls, openness, fi re safety, fi re department access, and
the Americans with DisabiliƟ es Act (ADA). The design shall conform to Universal design
concepts equitable to all people regardless of gender or disability.
Architectural drawings will comprise superstructure fl oor plans, architectural elements,
building elevaƟ ons, secƟ ons, and details for the parking structure. The plans will refl ect
fl oor slopes with drain locaƟ ons for proper drainage, an important factor for long-term
durability.
FuncƟ onal fl oor plans will include preliminary signage plans, details, striping, and
pavement marking details. Structural documents for the parking structure will include
fl oor plans, idenƟ fi caƟ on of structural, foundaƟ on, and waterproofi ng elements and
their details. LighƟ ng criteria will cover lighƟ ng and photometric analysis. Civil to show
curb cuts, driveway locaƟ ons, site grading, and produce a drainage report.
Our goal is to deliver a well-coordinated set of drawings across various disciplines
through BIM/ Revit modeling and implementaƟ on of our Quality Assurance Process,
thereby eliminaƟ ng omissions or errors before they snowball during construcƟ on. The
BIM technology will also enable real-Ɵ me coordinaƟ on with TOEP and team members.

COST ESTIMATING
At DESMAN we take pride in Designing to Budget. Throughout the schemaƟ c and design development, DESMAN and our
cost-esƟ maƟ ng partner will conƟ nually provide needed project controls. As many decisions hinge on a sound esƟ mate, the
availability of funds outweighs any single opƟ on on the table. With our partner, we are confi dent in our ability to esƟ mate
construcƟ on costs for TOEP accurately. Our team’s internal database serves as a prime resource for cost esƟ maƟ on that is
conƟ nually updated based on new projects and changing economic condiƟ ons.
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS & PERMITTING
The DESMAN team will prepare approved Design Development documents, drawings, and technical specifi caƟ ons
construcƟ on documents for permit and construcƟ on. We will assist the Town during the bid process, issuing addendums
to clarify any quesƟ ons of the contractor.
BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION
DESMAN will conduct a pre-concrete installaƟ on meeƟ ng, review shop drawings and product submiƩ als, respond to RFI’s,
and parƟ cipate in construcƟ on progress meeƟ ngs with TOEP. We will conduct site observaƟ ons at appropriate intervals
criƟ cal to the project and compile a fi nal punch list at substanƟ al compleƟ on. We will coordinate with the contractor to
ensure all warranƟ es, copies of shop drawings, and submiƩ als are forwarded to TOEP at project closeout. As a value-added
service, DESMAN will provide a manual of maintenance items with Ɵ melines, which when carried out will keep the BHPS
in a safe and serviceable condiƟ on for many years to come.
DURABILITY APPROACH
Our durability approach will be centered on ACI 362 R97 “Guide for the Design of Durable Parking Structures” and Life
365 AnalyƟ cal Durability Model, for evaluaƟ ng durability measures. Various factors such as low water-cement raƟ o,
air entrainment for increased freeze-thaw resistance, fl y ash to decrease concrete permeability, epoxy-coated rebars,
penetraƟ ng sealers, and Type IL cement, etc. will be considered in the model to provide a tough and resilient structure that
can withstand the harsh environment of Estes Park. BHPS is in Zone III - most severe exposure zone subject to freeze-thaw
and de-icing salts for concrete durability, per American Concrete InsƟ tute Act 362.
QUALITY CONTROL PHILOSOPHY
Our quality management approach is not about catching mistakes, but avoiding them in the fi rst place and geƫ ng it right
the fi rst Ɵ me. Our goal is to ensure that our clients receive a building that conforms to quality standards established at the
start of the design process. Our approach to achieving high quality outcomes results from:
• Project manager at the center of the process
• Total team commitment throughout the project
• Independent in-house peer review of documents at each project phase
• Lessons learned

CUSHING TERRELL
Cushing Terrell was founded in 1938 by two architects, Ralph
Cushing and Everett Terrell, who acted on the belief that
integrating architecture, engineering, and design opened the
doors for deepened relationships and enhanced creativity —
the foundations of our design practice and what still defines us
today. Driven by knowledge, curiosity, and empathy, our team
works together to design spaces and systems that help people
live their best lives, achieve their visions, and enjoy healthy,
sustainable built environments. After all, our mission is to
invent a better way of living.
EQUITY-CENTERED ENGAGEMENT
At Cushing Terrell, we know that real, authentic, and innovative
community engagement is critical to the success of planning
and development efforts. We also understand that traditional
approaches to outreach can exclude some community members
due to language barriers, feedback methodology, the location
and time of engagement events, and more. Therefore, we
employ methods with a specific emphasis on broad engagement
by intentionally reaching out to - and amplifying the voices of -
communities and populations that have historically been left out
of planning processes. Our equity-centered approach balances
objective data with qualitative feedback and employs outreach
methods that invite participants to define project values and
reach agreements while keeping the door open for creative, fun,
and fiscally responsible expression.

DESMAN provided Prime Design, Structural Engineering, Architectural Design, and Parking
Consulting services on a parking garage for the City of Black Hawk. The one bay garage
provides 126 parking spaces on three levels. Given limited site dimensions, there is no internal
or external ramping in the garage and all of the parking is provided on flat floors. Because of
the slope of the site and adjoining roadways, each level has a separate vehicle entry/exit point,
all of which will be heated to prevent the build-up of snow and ice on the driveways. A parking
guidance system directs parking patrons to available parking spaces on each level.
The structure is wedged into a very challenging site, hemmed by rock wall to the south and the
newly aligned Gregory Street to the north but yet providing open sight distances. The cast-in-
place, post-tensioned structural system is designed for a high level of durability and corrosion
protection to withstand extreme cold climate mountain environment and for a service life
span of 50 years. A life cycle cost analysis was performed early in the design to determine
which durability elements would be included in the design to ensure longevity and prevent
deterioration. Architecture for the garage complies with all applicable City of Black Hawk design
standards and complements nearby existing historic buildings and accentuates the beauty
of the surrounding hills. The garage facade is intended to look like an historic warehouse; a
throwback to the days when the town bustled with mining activity through use of native stone
and red brick veneer and arched widow openings with steel mullions, transoms and stone sills.
The garage features a CorTen weathering steel canopy roof to block views of vehicles parking
on the top level and blend seamlessly with rock outcroppings.
The DESMAN team through clear and open communication built strong stakeholder consensus,
which has enabled major decisions to be made in a timely manner and in a collaborative
environment.

The 11-acre Lumberyard Affordable Housing Neighborhood site will serve as a new dynamic
gateway to Aspen and will create 277 new affordable homes for a community that is facing a
severe affordable housing crisis. Cushing Terrell visited numerous existing affordable housing
developments in Aspen, sat down with city staff and local stakeholders, and worked with City
Council to understand Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority’s Vision related to Affordable
Housing. Through this, Cushing Terrell crafted the following Vision for the Lumberyard
Neighborhood:
A stable, thriving, affordable neighborhood that is pedestrian friendly, environmentally
sustainable, connected, and welcoming that looks, lives, and feels authentically Aspen.
In Aspen, we explored and designed what is likely a $400 million development that will be
constructed in three phases. It includes 425 parking spaces with roughly 50% underground. As
a mountain resort community, and with the site’s highly visible location across from the airport,
we had to take great pains to design for height and character for the traveling public and the
future residents who will call the project home.
DESMAN also developed concept parking plans for three garages containing approximately
220 parking spaces below the residential buildings, which depicted garage access, the parking
layout including accessible spaces, traffic flow, stair and elevator locations, storage space
locations, and columns and a structural grid to support the residential development above the
parking. The concept plans developed by DESMAN have been further refined by the architect
and structural engineer in the final design.
Cushing Terrell has followed an equally rigorous process in assisting Aspen in determining
a pathway forward related to Sustainability. Workshops were held with Aspen city staff and
other local environmental stakeholders, and through a consensus process, arrived at a list of
“Must Haves” in terms of environmental stewardship and resiliency, which led the project to
pursue aggressive 75% Net Zero on-site energy offsets, decarbonization, and Enterprise Green
Communities Plus certification.

Cushing Terrell was selected to determine feasibility and develop a conceptual plan for the
existing 4.05 acre Lot L surface parking lot at the Backman Village subdivision of the Town in
Telluride. The proposed 960 vehicle, multilevel parking structure will increase intercept parking
for commuters and provide transit-oriented commercial uses proximate to parking and a new
local/regional transit hub.
This will also offer parking for others requiring day long parking, such as skiers; and potentially
provide limited overnight parking for the community. A residential “wrap” around the exterior
of the garage will expand the number of resident occupied, affordable, and employee
housing units by approximately 48 units. New playgrounds, pocket parks, neighborhood
serving commercial uses, childcare and enhanced access to the San Miquel River are all being
considered as part of the future redevelopment of the Shandoka site.
DESMAN recommended the parking facility be non-gated and for the public to pay for parking
at multi-space meters in a pay-by-license-plate configuration or with mobile pay. This strategy
is consistent with current parking operations in Telluride. It was further recommended to gate
the nested residential parking area and have residents access it with proximity cards or AVI, as
residential parking is typically segregated and secured when nested in a larger public garage.

The City’s vision is to upgrade their PMIS into a transformative and fully integrated ecosystem.
Their goal is to consolidate the variety of hardware and software needs down into one or
multiple contractors that have modern integration interfaces such that the technology stack
can serve the City’s present and future needs. DIXON offers a strong background in managing
parking technology procurements and continues to support the City in this process.

Dibble provided survey, civil engineering and limited construction administration services
to the City of Chandler for the Overstreet Oregon parking structure at the northwest corner
of Chicago and Oregon Street.
This project was part of the $25M Overstreet development that included a new theater,
restaurants, retail and office spaces. The parking structure adds 350-parking spaces and
was developed on eight existing parcels plus portions of the adjacent right-of-way on both
Oregon and Chicago Streets.
Realignment of Oregon and Chicago Streets was also included in this project. Survey was
performed to re-plat the property and combine the eight existing parcels into one parcel
that included abandoned portions of the right-of-way in both Oregon and Chicago Streets.
