causing to be made, or inducing by any means, a contribution, directly or indirectly, on

of its political subdivisions, for three years. The governor may temporarily suspend any
remedy under this section during a declared state of emergency.
(4) Knowing violation of section 15 or section 17(2) by an elected or
appointed official is grounds for removal from office and disqualification to hold any
office of honor, trust or profit in the state, and shall constitute misconduct or
malfeasance.
(5) A registered voter of the state may enforce section 15 or section 17(2) by
filing a complaint for injunctive or declaratory relief or for civil damages and remedies, if
appropriate, in the district court.
(b) This section applies only to sole source government contracts and does
not apply to any contract which used a public and competitive bidding process in which
the City solicited at least three bids prior to awarding the contract.
(c) Contractor certifies, warrants, and agrees that it has complied and will
comply with Colorado Constitution Article XXVIII, including but not necessarily limited to
the following prohibitions and obligations:
1. If during the term of the contract, contractor holds sole source government
contracts with the State of Colorado and any of its political subdivisions cumulatively
totaling more than $100,000 in a calendar year, then for the duration of this contract
and for two years after, contractor will not make, cause to be made, or induce by any
means a contribution, directly or indirectly, on behalf of contractor or contractor's
immediate family member(s) for the benefit of any political party or for the benefit of
any candidate any elected office of the State or any of its political subdivisions; and
2. Contractor represents that contractor has not previously made or caused to
be made, and will not in the future make or cause to be made, any contribution intended
to promote or influence the result of a ballot issue election related to the subject matter of
this contract; and
3. Contractor will satisfy contractor's obligations to promptly report to the
Colorado Department of Personnel & Administration ("CDPA") information included in

such report(s)to City's Purchasing Agent; and
4. Contractor understands that any breach of this section or of Contractor's
responsibilities under Colorado Constitution Article XXVIII may result in either
contractual or constitutionally mandated penalties and remedies; and
5. A Contractor that intentionally violates Colorado Constitution Article
XXVIII, Section 15 or 17(2), shall be ineligible to hold any sole source government
contract, or public employment with the state or any of its political subdivisions for three
years; and
6. By execution of this contract, Contractor hereby confirms it is qualified
and eligible under such provisions to enter into this contract.
(d) For purposes of this section, the term "contractor" shall include persons that
control ten percent or more shares or interest in contractor, as well as contractor's officers,
directors, and trustees. The term "immediate family member" shall include a spouse, child,
spouse's child, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, parent, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, stepbrother,
stepsister, stepparent, parent-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, aunt, niece, nephew, guardian,
or domestic partner. All other terms and phrases used in this section shall have the meanings
defined in Article XXVIII of the Colorado Constitution.
(e) In the event any provision of Article XXVIII of the Colorado Constitution is held
to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-
appealable action, has been repealed retroactively or otherwise found to not apply to this contract
or agreement, then the corresponding requirement or requirements of this section shall have no
further force and effect, and shall not constitute a requirement of this contract, as of the date of

• Population
• Young adults
• Older adults
• Low income households
• Zero vehicle households

Nelson\Nygaard will create maps for each demographic characteristic and provide a summary of
the major findings. Longitudinal Employer Household Dynamics(LEHD)data will provide
information on where residents of Pueblo West work in order to identify the strongest potential
markets for commuter oriented service. Nelson\Nygaard will create maps and provide a brief
summary synthesizing the dataset
PACOG regional population and employment projections travel demand data will provide insight
expected growth that should be considered for future service.If available,we will review student
origin data from Pueblo Community College and Colorado State University-Pueblo in order to
understand how many students,who are typically a good market for transit services,are traveling
from Pueblo West.
If available,we will review existing vanpool data to understand longer distance travel markets for
commuters living in Pueblo West and commuting to other parts of the region. Depending on the
type of data available we will make visuals and/or provide a written summary of origins and
destinations.
TASK 3 PARK & RIDE SITE ASSESSMENT
The team will complete a preliminary site identification using GIS parcel data provided by the
city.Consideration will be given to parcel size,zoning,and existing site use/availability.The team
«ill conduct a field visit to as part of the initial site identification process. For efficiency,the team
anticipates conducting the site visit on the same day as the kickoff meeting.
TASK 4 SERVICE CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
Based on the market demand analysis,we will create a series of initial concepts designed to serve
Pueblo West,focusing on both commuter service and local circulation. Nelson\Nygaard will
consider the following potential transit services:
• Regional Connections: Regional connections,provided by express bus will be
considered,based on the market analysis.Vanpool data can often indicate a market for
express bus service,which will be paired with the LEHD data and demographic data to
identify potential markets.
• Park-and-Rides: Potential park-and-ride locations will be considered,focusing on the
transit and/or vanpool market within the catchment area,or area from which people are
likely to drive and park to use transit.
• Reverse Commute:With a growing number of employers in Pueblo West,it is
important to evaluate the need for transit services to bring commuters from Pueblo into
Pueblo West.
• Vanpool Strategies: Based on the results of the vanpool pattern analysis we will
identify potential markets for expanding vanpool services.
Initial service concepts will consist of potential route alignments,proposed stop locations,
projected service levels,vehicle requirements,approximate operating and capital costs,and
community benefits.Initial service alternatives will be presented to the project team,refined,and
then shared with the public for feedback.

TASK 5 PUBLIC OUTREACH
Nelson\Nygaard recommends a public meeting to provide an overview of the study and gather
information on the needs and desires within the community.We also propose using these
meetings as opportunity to educate or familiarize attendees with the different types of potential
transit service options.
The meeting will also include summary of existing market conditions(Task 2).We will also solicit
feedback on the initial service alternatives(Task 4).The public meetings will be advertised via the
Pueblo West website,social media,and utility bills.
An online survey with maps and supporting information will also be created to solicit additional
feedback.These comments will help inform the development of the recommended service plan.
TASK 6 SERVICE PLAN
A recommended service plan will be developed based on feedback received on initial service
concepts.The recommended service plan will essentially summarize the community's vision for
transit in Pueblo West and include the following:
• Route maps
• Service levels by day and time period
• Operating cost estimates
• Fleet requirements
• Other implementation considerations and costs
After finalizing the recommended service plan,we will develop a five-year implementation plan
based on a number of factors,including:
• Demonstrated/anticipated need
• Community interest
• Social and economic benefits
• Ridership projections
• Financial feasibility and probability of FTA funding
• Alignment with adopted local and regional plans
The service implementation plan will identify the actions,agreements,infrastructure,
coordination,and materials required to realize the preferred alternative and any additional short-
range recommendations.A simplified version of the implementation plan will also be developed
in a graphic format that is easy for the general public to comprehend.
Deliverable: Service Plan Memorandum
TASK 7 CAPITAL AND FINANCIAL PLAN
A capital budget will be developed to support the service plan with cost information for the
following categories:
• Design and construction costs for park-and-rides
• Bus stops signage and installation
Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates Inc. 13
• Infrastructure improvements such as sidewalks,crosswalks and lighting
• Technologies such as real-time arrival information and mobile device apps for fare
collection
Nelson\Nygaard will recommend funding strategies for new service and capital investments
specified in the service plan.This effort will involve documentation of available operating and
capital funding sources whether currently utilized or not.
Nelson\Nygaard will also evaluate the feasibility of potential economic development and
community partnership funding sources,in terms of their ability to generate revenue,technical
feasibility,and politically acceptance.Potential non-traditional funding sources include:
• Partnerships with large institutions or employers that benefit from transit service
• Sponsorships in the form of advertising revenues
• Public-private partnerships
• Federal grant programs
Deliverable: Capital and Financial Plan Memorandum
TASK 8 PRESENTATION TO PUEBLO WEST BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Project Manager James Gamez will provide a summary of existing and future demand,initial
service concepts,and community feedback.The presentation will also detail the recommended
service plan,with emphasis on mobility benefits,infrastructure needs,capital and operating
costs,and projected ridership.
