Downtown Parking Structure
Schematic Design Plan
Below is the scope of work to initiate schematic design for a Downtown Parking Structure adjacent
to City Hall and across Main Strect from the Pueblo Hotel and Convention Center. This scope is
based on our phone conversation of Thursday, _April 3, 2003 and would be accomplished by the team
members referenced in Appendix C.

Topographic Survey and Utility Investigation
Consultant shall complete the topographic survey and utility investigation for the
Project Study Area. The intent of this investigation is to review and confirm the
location of all existing buildings and surface/subsurface improvements within the
study area. The horizontal and vertical control datum for this survey shall be
coordinated with the City of Pueblo's 'HARP Subdivision' and survey control
datum.
The existing condition survey will include a new topographic survey of the project
area with a one-foot contour interval and spot elevations of critical features
including building floor elevations for City Hall. In conjunction with the
topographic survey of the project area, a utility investigation will be completed.
The City shall be responsible for marking underground utility locations. Consultant
shall survey marked locations of underground utilities and shall survey the following
additional utility conditions. The utility investigation will consist of the following:
· Inverts of sanitary sewers
· Inverts of storm sewers
· Water valve locations
· Storm water inlet locations
· Marked gas line locations
· Marked underground electric locations
· Overhead power and telephone pole locations
· Marked underground phone locations
Consultant shall transcribe all utility information to the new base mapping for the
designated project study area.
Parking Review and Evaluation
Consultant shall review the "Comprehensive Parking Study for the Central Pueblo
Area" prepared by Walker Parking Consultants in August of 2001 and re-evaluate
the proposed site in light of any new issues that have arisen since the report's
completion. This work will be completed to assure the City and the Urban Renewal
Authority of Pueblo that the proposed site is the "best possible" option for the
immediate future.

One-Day Programming Session
After the completion of work item 1.0, and with a clear understanding of the
existing conditions (easements, topography, utilities, drainage) of the project area.
The Consultant shall organize a one-day programming work session in order to
define the following objectives;
· Locate a parking structure with approximately 600 spaces that is both
functional and supportive of the downtown image, character and sense of
place.
· Incorporate supporting uses within the parking structure including, but not
lhnited to; commercial/retail, public and private office and other ancillary
uses.
· Reflect and integrate the thoughts and opinions of the members of the
Urban Renewal Authority of Pueblo throughout the planning and design
process.
· Demonstrate how the proposed facility links and connects to its
surrounding uses, activities, services and facilities. The proposed facility
needs to become an integral part of downtown Pueblo.
· Prepare a schematic set of plans, drawings and illustrations that convey
adequate detail for the pubhc to understand design intent, layout, access,
circulation, streetscape, urban context, feasibility and estimated cost of
construction.
The primary objective of the one-day work session is to cost-effectively join City
staff, Urban Renewal members and Consultant staff together to define a
development program for the project. The workshop ~vill be held in Pueblo and will
be scheduled to accommodate all parties involved.
Prepare Schematic Layout Alternatives for the Parking Structure
Based on the input and preferred program produced during the one-day work
session, consultants shall prepare a series of design alternatives for the parking
structure. These design alternatives shall illustrate various configurations based on
the program defined under item 2.0. These alternatives will be used to weigh the
opportunities and constraints of the site and determine any "fatal flaws" uncovered
by the process. The alternatives will roughly define building massing and volume,
interface with existing structures, auto and pedestrian circulation and access along
with potential links to HARP and other surrounding uses.
Value Options and Develop a Preferred Alternative
The various alternatives will be reviewed, xveighed and valued by the City, Urban
Renewal Authority and consultants. Based on this review, the consultants will
recommend a preferred alternative to be developed further.
Develop Facade, Floor Plan and Interface with City Hall
After the acceptance of the preferred alternative concept for the parking structure,
the consultant will develop a schematic interface and floor plan connecting to City
Hall. The consultant will also develop a schematic fagade treatment for the
structure to insure compatibility ~vith surrounding uses.

Develop Preliminary Costing for Preferred Schematic Design Alternative
Working with the City and the Urban Renewal Authority the Consultant will
prepare a preliminary estimate of construction costs based on our best knowledge of
current pricing and construction methods.
Final Schematic Design Plan
Consultant shall prepare an illustrative drawing(s) of the lVmal preferred alternative.
The preferred alternative will call out and demarcate all proposed improvements for
the site and provide numbers that support all proposed program elements. The
draWings will include the following:
· Plan view drawings showing parking configuration, access points,
anticipated circulation patterns for the parking structure.
· Plan view drawings showing interface points and floor plans between the
parking structure and City Hall.
· Plan view drawings and sketches, as appropriate, to show architectural,
landscape architectural and site improvement elements adjacent to the
parking structure.
· Elevation drawings showing schematic architectural fasade treatments for
the structure.

Meetings and Coordination
After the initial programming session the consultant will initiate approximately three
(3) meetings in Pueblo to review, discuss and determine final preferred direction for
the structure. Project consultants may meet independently to coordinate aspects of
the project.
Project Schedule
Upon approval of the contract and authorization to proceed work on the project
can begin immediately with completion of the scope items in an 8 to 10 week
period.
