COVER LETTER Estes Park Public Safety Facility Concept Designs Dear Chief Stewart, We are pleased to submit our proposal for the Town of Estes Park’s new Public Safety Facility. We have been honored to work with you and the Town over the past year, and we are excited to continue this journey until you have the keys in your hand. Although we have the background for the project, we don’t take for granted the need to continue bringing you the highest level of communication, coordination and design. We have progressed a long way since the initial programming meetings, but there is still a lot of work to be done. We do feel our team has the ability to keep the ball rolling and reduce the amount of time and rework as you move into the next phase. Our goal is to make this the most efficient and functional facility we can. Continuing to refine the design and looking for opportunities to reduce square footage without compromising program or function is our primary goal. We want to create a beautiful and low maintenance facility that does not overspend on expensive materials, but gives you a durable, long-lasting building for decades to come. In this next phase, we understand how important public education and engagement will be. We plan to walk side by side with you on the messaging, marketing and engagement as we convey the importance of the new facility to the citizens of Estes Park. We believe in this project, we believe in this community, and we can’t wait to help you make it a reality. Thanks for considering Infusion Architects. We would like nothing more than to continue alongside you on this journey. Sincerely, CHIEF STEWART ESTES PARK POLICE DEPARTMENT 170 MACGREGOR AVENUE ESTES PARK, CO 80517 RANDELL JOHNSON, AIA PRINCIPAL, INFUSION ARCHITECTS 4487 Highland Meadows Pkwy, Suite 200 Windsor, CO 80550 Phone: 303-710-1892 (mobile) Email: randell.johnson@infusionarchitects.com 4 Town of Estes Park | RFQ / RFP - Design Services for the Estes Park Public Safety Facility 2. PROJECT APPROACH Concept Site Plan THE WORK TO BE ACCOMPLISHED This project is more than a police station. It is a purpose- built Public Safety facility that consolidates the full range of EPPD services under one roof, while also accommodating the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office. This design must also reflect Estes Park’s mountain character and incorporate sustainable building standards and universal accessibility in a space made for future generations. UNDERSTANDING THE TOWN’S NEEDS We are uniquely qualified to design this project given our in-depth analysis of the comprehensive space needs and understanding of the site’s nuances. Our sub-consultants have been kept informed and engaged throughout the conceptual process, as to prepare them to readily progress the design. Our team is not learning this project, we are advancing it, with the same staff and continuity built over the past 14 months of active collaboration. OUR APPROACH: BUILT ON KNOWLEDGE, DELIVERED THROUGH COLLABORATION Our approach begins with a clear understanding of the “why” and “how” behind this project, blending the Town’s needs with our expertise to shape a thoughtful, purpose-driven design. Infusion’s prior involvement in early planning gives us valuable context, but we will validate existing plans against current budget and schedule realities, while leveraging our site knowledge and relationships to accelerate decision-making, develop and improve the current solution if needed, and keep the project on track. We are here to support the project’s success throughout every step of the process. We are advocates for the Town of Estes Park, and are equally committed in our responsiveness to the contractor’s requests during construction administration. This philosophy of full-spectrum partnership has been the foundation of other successful public safety facilities throughout Northern Colorado, and it is the approach we bring to this project. PROJECT KICKOFF We will begin with a comprehensive kick-off meeting bringing together the Town of Estes Park, the Internal Planning Team (IPT), and the EPPD. This session will establish clear communication channels, define team roles and responsibilities for the expanded team, review the project schedule, and gather all existing documentation to inform the design process. Because our team has been actively engaged with the IPT over the past 14 months, this kick-off will be a continuation of that effort, so once we receive Notice to Proceed, our entire team will be ready to move. In this session, we will review the schedule and content of milestone meetings for the SD and DD phases to ensure the right decision makers are included at each stage. BALANCING BUDGET AND FUNCTION One of the primary challenges on this project is delivering a facility that meets the EPPD’s long-term operational needs within a complex funding environment. Our commitment is to find efficiency without sacrificing function. We have been exploring precast concrete as the primary structural system, which typically delivers around 10% savings in structural cost versus steel. The Town has responded positively to the design direction established to date, and we are committed to carrying that vision forward as desired. On a comparable project currently in development, our team identified a design refinement that added an entire department while eliminating 1,000 square feet — a savings of approximately $900,000 at current market rates. 5 Town of Estes Park | RFQ / RFP - Design Services for the Estes Park Public Safety Facility SITE-SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS The project site sits within a heavily used public precinct bordered by an event center, school, and park. Secure operational elements including the sally port, holding areas, and parking must be thoughtfully integrated so EPPD activities do not intrude on the neighboring community, with sirens, noise, traffic, and sight lines carefully addressed in the design. Our team has built projects like this before. We know where RAM-resistant fencing belongs, how to position generators, and where ballistic considerations are critical — and that knowledge keeps decisions moving and budgets intact. Given Estes Park’s location within a designated Wildland- Urban Interface zone, our design will incorporate WUI- compliant strategies throughout, including ignition- resistant materials, defensible space planning, and ember-resistant detailing. For a building that houses the community’s dispatch and emergency operations, wildfire resilience is a mission-critical design priority. VARIANCE PROCESS We strongly recommend that the Town initiate the variance process prior to the conclusion of Design Development, specifically regarding building height. Any public process carries a risk of forced redesign, and aligns directly with the Town’s goal of completing 100% Construction Documents by Q4 2026 or Q1 2027. We are prepared to support this effort immediately upon Notice to Proceed. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND EDUCATION The RFP states that active community engagement is a core requirement for this project. Our team is experienced with coordinating and leading community and stakeholder outreach for projects just like this. Early in the process, Infusion, Salt, and BHA will meet with staff to learn about outreach methods that have shown success with previous efforts, and to discuss additional tools and methods that could be used to engage and communicate with the public and key stakeholders. We will also work closely with the Town to define the right questions to ask at each stage, ensuring the feedback we collect is meaningful, actionable, and directly informs design decisions rather than creating noise that is difficult to act on. We would work closely with the Town’s Public Information Officer and the existing proven systems already in place. We also anticipate facilitating in-person events such as open houses to share information, updates, and progress and potentially to gather input on topics like design aesthetics, landscape, and public access. Finally, we expect there may be meetings required with key stakeholders early in the project to establish any key criteria that must be considered with the project design. The design team will take an active role in these meetings by facilitating the discussion, providing content, and documenting outreach (i.e. input, preferences, meeting minutes, decision log). • Key Stakeholder Identification and Engagement. Infusion, Salt, and BHA will work with the Town to identify any key stakeholders (adjacent property owners, easement holders, etc). We will assist the Town in scheduling and facilitating a meeting with this group prior to more general public engagement. • Public Open Houses. Four (4) Open Houses will be scheduled through the design process involving Town staff, stakeholders within the project area, and the public. The Consultant team will prepare presentation boards, maps, handouts and questionnaires. • Online Public Outreach and Engagement. Infusion and BHA will provide content for use in the Town’s online and social media platforms (surveys, bulletins, frequently asked questions, updates on budget, and other public memos) to support community engagement for the project. • Public Outreach. To help the community visualize and connect with the design in a way static boards cannot, our team will leverage 3D flythrough animations of the facility, bringing the project to life for the public before a single shovel breaks ground. Following each engagement event, BHA will compile all written comments, public input, and stakeholder notes and forward electronic copies to the Town for inclusion in the project record, ensuring full transparency and a documented foundation for design decisions.

An updated OPCC will be developed, and value engineering options will again be evaluated against the project budget in consultation with the IPT. While security is a foundational requirement of any public safety facility, it is equally important that this building feel welcoming, accessible, and reflective of the community it serves. Our design will honor Estes Park’s distinctive natural setting and architectural character while delivering a modern, functional facility built to serve the department and the community for 50 years or more, including the full integration of all architectural, structural, civil, MEP, landscape, interior design, wayfinding, signage, FF&E, and specialty systems design into a complete, constrution-ready package. A second Scenario Testing exercise will be conducted with the IPT, ensuring that the final design continues to reflect operational realities and that any remaining conflicts are resolved prior to bidding. SUSTAINABLE RESILIENCE AND MATERIAL SELECTION Our approach to sustainability for this project is framed through the lens of resiliency. The Platte River Power Authority is already on a path toward green energy production, with sustainability goals that will benefit the entire Estes Park grid. Given this context, the most compelling sustainability solution for a Public Safety Facility is operational continuity that is not dependent on gas or fossil fuels. Solar panels with battery storage would allow this facility to remain fully operational during severe power outages or Public Safety Power Shutoffs. For a building that serves as the community’s emergency nerve center, that resiliency is a mission-critical design requirement. Our sustainability consultants at PEC have contributed early analysis of solar and geothermal potential for this facility, and the design is solar-ready. For long-term durability, our team is exploring precast concrete as the primary structural material. In addition to cost savings, precast offers a 50 to 100-year service life, directly addressing the Town’s goal of a facility built to last. Precast also provides meaningful additional benefits for a public safety facility: inherent resistance to ballistic, vehicle crash, and blast impacts, delivering a hardened, secure structure without sacrificing the aesthetic flexibility to ensure the facility reflects the character of Estes Park. This system also supports a shorter construction timeline, an advantage in a mountain climate where weather can impact construction sequencing at any time of year. FINANCING CONSIDERATIONS Infusion understands that breaking ground on this facility is not solely a design challenge, it is a financial one as well. Certificate of Participation (COP) financing is a mechanism we are familiar with, and we understand that the structure and timing of the Town’s COP will be shaped by several factors still being finalized. Our team will maintain open and proactive communication with the Town’s project leadership as the financing picture evolves, and we will structure our design schedule with the flexibility to respond to changes in project timing without losing momentum or incurring unnecessary cost. We will flag where design decisions have long-lead implications early so the Town can make informed decisions about timing relative to the financing timeline. We will continue to support the Town’s efforts to identify and pursue supplemental funding sources, including state and federal grant opportunities, so once the financing pieces fall into place, the project is positioned to move forward without delay. Solar-Ready Roof View from Sally Port and Staff Entry 7 Town of Estes Park | RFQ / RFP - Design Services for the Estes Park Public Safety Facility FINISHING STRONG: OUR APPROACH TO CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Upon selection of the general contractor by TOEP, Infusion Architects and our sub-consultant team will provide Construction Administration services for the full duration of construction. Our team will conduct regular on-site visits, respond to Requests for Information, review and approve shop drawings in a timely manner, and develop change order drawings as needed. We are committed to maintaining the integrity of the design through construction and ensuring that the completed Public Safety Facility reflects the vision, and investment. We view Construction Administration not as a contractual obligation, but as the final and essential act of stewardship over a design we have been invested in from day one. The relationship between the architect and the contractor can make or break the success of a project, and if the designer and contractor are constantly at odds with each other, it will not be a favorable experience for the Town. By prioritizing and maintaining the same collaborative relationships and approach throughout the project, we ensure that what gets built reflects the department and community’s need and delivers a successful outcome for all involved. THE TEAM-FIRST MINDSET We understand that our biggest risk, and yours, lies in the construction phase. Rather than pointing fingers when challenges arise, we believe in grouping with the contractor to discuss and align on solutions before presenting options to you. This collaborative problem- solving approach keeps the project moving forward and eliminates the kind of friction that can derail schedules and strain relationships. SANDBOX-FRIENDLY Our design-build DNA combined with our extensive experience means we genuinely enjoy working with contractors. We speak their language, understand their challenges, and respect their expertise. When complications arise, and they always do, we leverage our construction industry insight to find practical solutions that work for everyone. We get it, and we act like we get it. PROACTIVE, NOT REACTIVE During construction, we understand that timeliness is everything. Getting a project built correctly during construction is valuable to the entire team. Our approach centers on three core commitments: • Responsiveness: Timely RFI and submittal reviews keep the construction machine moving and eliminate delay risk. We understand the meter turns quickly during construction, and we react accordingly. • On-Site Presence: Weekly construction observation reports ensure we’re actively monitoring progress, catching issues early, and maintaining quality standards throughout the build. • Contractor Coordination: We work closely with the contractor throughout design to check constructability, material availability, and pricing, ensuring the design never exceeds budget. One thing that is always consistent is Infusion’s willingness to listen. They are not only engaged with the client during the design process but are also listening to the contractor and working with them on cost efficiences and constructability of the design. “ JUSTIN CLARK SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER | FCI CONSTRUCTORS“ 8 Town of Estes Park | RFQ / RFP - Design Services for the Estes Park Public Safety Facility 3.

EXPERIENCE & REFERENCES WINDSOR POLICE DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS WINDSOR, CO | 43,330 SQ FT | $23 MILLION Infusion Architects served as Architect of Record for Windsor’s landmark 43,330 SF police headquarters—completed in 2024 for the Town of Windsor. Designed to serve 52 sworn officers and 13 civilian staff, this full-service facility was delivered two months ahead of schedule and under budget, funded entirely through the Town’s Capital Improvement Fund with no new debt. The two-story building unifies every operational component of modern law enforcement: high-security evidence processing and storage, a dedicated dispatch center, administrative and detective offices, specialized training and fitness spaces, holding facilities, and comprehensive staff wellness amenities. The facility’s design reflects Windsor’s civic identity while meeting demanding performance standards for a rapidly growing Front Range community. This project directly demonstrates Infusion’s capability to lead complex, large-scale public safety design – from space needs programming through construction administration – on schedule, on budget, and to the highest operational standards.

The design responds directly to the needs identified through an extensive programming process with Town staff and police leadership, delivering a fully functional facility that supports current operations while accommodating a planned 8,700 SF future expansion. Site design features secure perimeter fencing and controlled access, segregated public and secure parking, EV charging infrastructure, an emergency vehicle drive lane, and a vehicle sallyport for safe in-custody intake.

Wanting a design firm that truly listened to their needs and designed around function, they selected Infusion Architects. MVFR had selected an existing industrial building into their new admin/training facility. The renovation consolidates leadership, training, and community functions into a single, efficient facility without expanding the building footprint, reusing the structure while completely rethinking how the interior supports a modern fire district. The first floor is planned as the public and training hub, with a large multipurpose/ board room, flexible classroom and training spaces, community storage, fitness center, locker rooms and showers, and a welcoming lobby and reception zone. Operational support spaces (EMS and sheriff offices, central receiving, IT, electrical, and a series of secure storage rooms) are strategically placed for easy access and controlled circulation. The second floor is dedicated to administration and daily leadership functions, with open and private offices for the Fire Chief, operations leadership, finance, prevention, life safety, education, and community outreach, supported by multiple conference rooms, huddle spaces, a flex training room, quiet room, break areas, and copy/support zones. Acoustically enhanced partitions, continuous sound batts over acoustic ceilings, and carefully detailed interior wall systems strengthen speech privacy and create a quieter working environment across the open and enclosed spaces.

CONFIDENTIAL Infusion Architects | infusionarchitects.com June 4, 2026 Derek Pastor, PMP Project Manager, Internal Services Department Town of Estes Park 170 MacGregor Avenue, Room 100 Estes Park, CO 80517 dpastor@estes.org Re: Estes Park Public Safety Facility: Fee Proposal Follow-Up Dear Derek, On behalf of the Infusion Architects team, thank you for selecting us as your preferred firm for the Estes Park Public Safety Facility. We are honored by your confidence and take seriously the trust you are placing in us. We also appreciate your transparency about where our fee landed, and we welcome the opportunity to speak to it directly. A Team Built for This Project Our fee reflects a deliberate choice: we assembled a consultant team based on what this project demands, not on what would produce the lowest number. For a 30,000 SF public safety facility that must perform reliably for decades, that means: • Schedule certainty. Our engineering partners were selected in part because of their team depth. On a project with a firm funding timeline, you need consultants who won't become the bottleneck. Larger, more experienced teams absorb scope changes and keep documents moving. • Clash detection and coordination. We invested in consultants with proven BIM coordination and clash detection capabilities. On a facility with complex MEP, life safety, and security systems, catching conflicts in the model rather than in the field is where real cost savings happen. • Long-term building performance. The engineers we selected bring expertise in systems designed to last. A public safety facility isn't a building you want to be retrofitting in 15 years because the mechanical or electrical systems were underspecified at the start. Following the additional clarifications provided during the selection process, we went back to our consultants, refined scope, and identified $ 100,170 in savings we are pleased to pass along, bringing our revised total fee to $1,365,000. We did not achieve those savings by downgrading our team. They came from sharper scoping, exactly the kind of pre- design alignment that sets a project up for success. Infusion Architects | infusionarchitects.com The Bigger Risk Isn’t the Design Fee We want to offer a perspective we believe is critical as you weigh your options: construction cost overruns and schedule delays carry far greater financial risk to this project than the difference in design fees. Our team digs into how a building actually gets built, and contractors consistently commend us for the constructability of our drawings. That level of coordination and clarity prevents costly RFIs, change orders, and field conflicts that erode budgets during construction. Equally important is what happens after the drawings leave our office. Plus, Melissa is known for thorough and prompt communication throughout construction administration. That responsiveness keeps contractors moving, decisions made, and schedules on track. We believe selecting a construction-minded team, like Infusion, is one of the most effective investments the Town can make to protect this project from the risks that actually threaten budgets and timelines. We are proud of the team we have assembled and grateful for the opportunity to serve the Estes Park community. We look forward to finalizing the path forward together. Warm regards, Randell Johnson Principal Architect Infusion Architects Infusion Architects | infusionarchitects.com Scope Reduction and Assumptions: MEPS To achieve fee savings without reducing team quality, we have scoped MEPS consultant involvement during Schematic Design to focus on narrative support for the SD pricing exercise. This assumes minimal plan redesign once the engineers are fully engaged in Design Development. Infusion and Salt will lead plan iteration during early phases, allowing the engineering team to apply their full effort where coordination complexity is highest in DD and CD, where BIM coordination and clash detection deliver the greatest value. INTERIORS We have reduced the interiors fee by shifting the majority of client and team coordination to virtual meetings. This keeps our interior design work focused and efficient while maintaining the quality of deliverables. We are confident this approach works well for the current phase of the project and will flag proactively if in-person engagement becomes critical to decision-making. ARCHITECTURE Our architectural fee reduction reflects two targeted adjustments. First, we reduced Redstone's QAQC scope by limiting the number of formal reviews, electing to bring some initial QAQC reviews in-house. Second, we passed through a corresponding reduction in our consultant markup. These changes keep Infusion's core architectural services (formal documentation, meeting minutes, and community engagement support) fully intact while delivering meaningful savings. CIVIL We were not able to identify a responsible reduction to the Civil fee given the current scope assumptions and the risk of change orders if that scope shifts. We want to be straightforward about that rather than cut a number that doesn't hold. We would like to prioritize a focused Civil scope conversation during the kickoff meeting to confirm alignment with the Town's expectations and identify whether any adjustments to the fee are appropriate at that time.
