PROJECT DETAILS PROJECT SUMMARY The Town is seeking proposals from Consultants to design and manage the construction of a new Public Safety facility. The project consists of a 2-story facility, approximately 30,000 square feet in size. The ideal consultant team will have extensive experience in law enforcement, emergency services and government facility design throughout Colorado. The successful consultant team will provide a turnkey solution, spanning from schematic design and community data collection through the delivery of final construction documents and construction management assistance. Required disciplines include: • Architectural Design Services • Structural Engineering • Civil Engineering (including Traffic Studies) • (MEP) Engineering •• •• • FF&E and Wayfinding • Community Engagement and Site Details: Active community engagement is a core requirement for this project. The Town expects the consultant to lead efforts in collecting public data and feedback, ensuring those insights are meaningfully incorporated into the facility’s design. 5 RFQ/RFP – Design and Engineering Services | 2026 Estes Park Public Safety facility To support the project’s start, the Town will provide existing topographic maps and utility site plans. Exhibit 9 is an Improvement Survey Plat study. Geotechnical investigations and final report are currently being finalized and will be shared with the consultant upon completion. The Town also has an interest in evaluating alternative energy-efficiency options such as solar or wind energy along with storage solutions for each. The successful consultant team will have demonstrated expertise with this. The successful consultant team shall enter into a contract with TOEP for complete professional services including, but not limited to, the following: 1. Schematic and Design Development 2. Final Design / Construction Documents 3. Bidding Documents Preparation 4. Construction Administration The central goal of this project is to provide a modern Public Safety facility, while also aligning with the character of downtown Estes Park. It is the intent of the Town to have 100% Construction Documents completed within Q4 of 2026 or Q1 2027 (This timeline may be affected by the awarding of grants; more information described below) and construction complete by the end of 2030. The selected consultant must work in partnership with TOEP’s Internal Planning Team (IPT; this includes the Project Manager, select members of the Town of Estes Park Police Department, and select members of additional Town Departments), the community, and other local stakeholders to ensure that the various requirements and concerns are addressed. Any environmental impacts or effects on existing land use resulting from the construction of this new building must be identified, mitigated, and planned for in the designs. This includes, but not limited to, wildfire mitigation, flood management, and wildlife impacts. 6 RFQ/RFP – Design and Engineering Services | 2026 Estes Park Public Safety facility The Town’s preference for this project is a Construction Manager / General Contractor delivery method to engage a construction contractor early in the process to aid in efficiency and assist with construction design and materials. The Town will maintain project oversight, decision-making and financial responsibility. The Consultant team will design the building based on owner feedback and contractor input. The Contractor will perform regular plan reviews, value-engineering ideas as needed, scheduling timelines and eventually construction costs. PROJECT HISTORY The Estes Park Police Department (EPPD) provides professional public safety services in partnership with the community to enhance the quality of life for residents and guests. The EPPD has a staff (officers, support, volunteers) of more than 50 and is currently operating out of the Town Hall building. As the staff and needs have grown, so has the need for a new, modern building. In addition to the daily operations, which includes responding to emergency and non- emergency calls for service, proactive policing, investigations, and the safe flow of pedestrian and vehicle traffic through enforcement of traffic laws, the EPPD also offers a wide array of additional services. Those services consist of the Estes Park Emergency Communications/Dispatch Center, Records Unit, Restorative Justice Partnership, Police Auxiliary, Property Room, Evidence Processing, and numerous community services. The new building will incorporate these services, include a multi-purpose meeting space capable of serving as an Emergency Operations Center when needed, and space for additional services such as the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office. The Town of Estes Park (Town/ TOEP) Police Department facility is currently located in Town Hall which was originally constructed as a public school in the 1930s and converted to Town Hall in 1974. According to the Town’s 2022 Facilities Master Plan (Facilities Master Plan): 7 RFQ/RFP – Design and Engineering Services | 2026 Estes Park Public Safety facility “The current police facility in Town Hall is entirely inadequate. The department has been shoe-horned into a space that jeopardizes the Police Department’s ability to respond to emergencies and keep offices, staff, and residents safe.” The Facilities Master Plan key findings recommend that the police department should not be in the Downtown area due to safety concerns. Instead, it should be planned and constructed outside of Downtown. The Town Board of Trustees (Town Board) has been considering options to address this issue and has included the design and construction of a new Public Safety facility as one of its key strategic objectives. The Town has recently identified an approximately 3-acre, town-owned parcel of land for this new facility. In 2025, TOEP engaged with consultants to conduct space needs analyses and programming needs. Additionally, various potential sites were reviewed and evaluated, and site plan diagrams were created for the top sites. TOEP has identified the site of the future Public Safety facility and a conceptual site plan has been created. This site plan along with the space needs analysis will be critical for the future design development. With the work already completed to conduct space needs analyses, preliminary site plan designs, and conceptual design for the building, these documents will be used by the selected consultant team to advance the preliminary design efforts into schematics designs and construction documents. The Town is not looking to deviate from the current design plans, unless there is an unforeseen necessity justifying significance changes. The Consultant will meet with TOEP Internal Planning Team (IPT) early and often throughout this process. The consultant will also take an active role in all community engagement strategies and meetings working in coordination with the Town’s Project Manager and Public Information Officer. 8 RFQ/RFP – Design and Engineering Services | 2026 Estes Park Public Safety facility TOEP is also anticipating the current traffic flow of the identified parcel will be impacted by the additional traffic caused by this new building and responding emergency vehicles. The consultant team should have experience with traffic impact and traffic engineering. Traffic Impact Studies (TIS) will be required to be performed by the consultant. The Town is anticipating the need for an Intermediate TIS (LCUASS, Chapter 4). The consultant should coordinate with the Project Manager to determine the peak days/times and required intersections for this study.
