URD Task Order DTN 2018-002 for Downtown Structured Parking Site Feasiblity AnalysisCommission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Chris Naumann, Executive Director, Downtown Bozeman Partnership David Fine, Urban Renewal Program Manager, City of Bozeman SUBJECT: URD Term Contract Task Order DTN 2018-002 for Downtown Structured Parking Site Feasibility Analysis MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager to Sign the URD Term Contract Task Order DTN 2018-002 TASK ORDER DTN 2018-002 BACKGROUND: The 2016 Downtown Strategic Parking Management Plan includes: STRATEGY 21 Explore expanding access capacity with new parking supply and/or transit or circulators. As Bozeman’s downtown grows, adding jobs, residents, and visitors, existing supplies of parking and alternative mode access will need to be expanded. These types of capacity growth require sophisticated infrastructure and are costly. Planning for, and finding funding for, new capacity is time-consuming, so focused and objective evaluation will greatly facilitate decision-making before constraints create adverse impacts on the downtown. A. Identify possible new garage sites The consultant team identified several potential off-street opportunity sites that provide a starting point for evaluating potential sites in the downtown. As a first step to implementing this strategy, the Downtown URD is conducting a feasibility analysis of various sites in Downtown Bozeman that have been proposed for additional structured parking. This work is to be done as a part of the Downtown Urban Renewal District term contract for architectural and engineering services. The consultant team for this project includes A&E Architects and Walker Consultants. This project consists of an analysis of up to five (5) sites in Downtown Bozeman that are being considered for additional structured parking. The analysis will be conducted in two phases. Phase 1 will consist of the initial site assessments, including identification of opportunities and constraints at each site, as well as development of an 88 evaluation matrix and priority rankings. Phase 2 will include concept designs and cost estimates for the highest priority sites. TERM CONTRACT BACKGROUND: Following a competitive RFQ process, a team led by Sanderson Stewart, also including A&E Architects, DCI Engineers, Walker Consultants, and CTC Technology and Energy, was awarded a term contract for urban renewal district professional services on October 22, 2018. FISCAL EFFECTS: Sanderson Stewart will bill for its services on a lump sum basis with a project total of $50,000.00 for Phase 1. If directed to complete Phase 2, Sanderson Stewart will bill for its services on a lump sum basis with a project total of $25,000.00 for Phase 2. Funding to support this effort is included in the Downtown Urban Renewal District’s FY 2019 work plan and budget.

This work is to be done as a part of the Downtown Urban Renewal District term contract for architectural and engineering services. The consultant team for this project includes A&E Architects and Walker Consultants. This project consists of an analysis of up to five (5) sites in Downtown Bozeman that are being considered for additional structured parking. General descriptions of the five (5) sites being considered include the following: • Federal Building Lot at the northwest corner of Olive/Black • First Security Bank Lot at the northeast corner of Babcock/Bozeman • Library Lot at the northeast corner of Wallace/Curtiss • First Interstate Bank/Holy Rosary Catholic Church Lot at the northwest corner of Babcock/Grand • County Courthouse Lot at the southwest corner of Mendenhall/3rd Ave The analysis will be conducted in two parts. Part 1 will consist of the initial site assessments, including identification of opportunities and constraints at each site, as well as development of an evaluation matrix and priority rankings. Part 2 will include concept designs and cost estimates for the highest priority sites. A detailed list of assumptions and scope of services for the project are outlined below. Scope of Work: Part 1 – Initial Site Assessment and Evaluation Matrix Phase 1 – Project Initiation This phase of the project will include project initiation and planning tasks, including scoping, contract preparation, and kick-off meetings with the Downtown Bozeman Partnership and City of Bozeman. All project management tasks and client meetings beyond project initiation will be allocated to the remaining project phases. Phase 2 – Initial Site Assessment and Base Mapping This phase will include the initial assessment of the five (5) potential structured parking sites and identification of opportunities and constraints for each site. This will include development of vicinity maps that identify existing conditions, nearby features/businesses, and the economic development potential within walking 91 distance (1000-foot radius) of each site. Mapping will be developed using City of Bozeman GIS information and aerial images, as well as maps provided by the Downtown Plan consultant in SketchUp and/or InDesign formats. Formal site surveys will not be conducted for this level of analysis. The initial assessment for each site will include a concept-level evaluation of potential parking layouts, traffic circulation, ramping systems, vehicular entry/exit configurations, and pedestrian portals for the new garage options. Although conceptual in nature, these plans will be based on sound parking design principles to provide efficient, user-friendly parking for the project. This stage of the project will also include a review of City of Bozeman code requirements for parking geometrics, setbacks, height limitations and other criteria impacting the parking structure design. Phase 3 – Site Evaluation Matrix and Priority Rankings This phase of the project will include the development of evaluation criteria and an overall matrix that displays how each site ranks relative to the criteria considered. Examples of the criteria to be considered include functional desirability, constructability, development potential within the 1000-foot radius, number of decks/overall parking capacity, cost/return on investment, opportunity for public/private partnerships, and proximity to the heart of downtown. Other criteria will be developed with input from the Downtown Bozeman Partnership and City of Bozeman as the project progresses. The potential expansion of the existing Bridger Park Garage (currently being evaluated through a separate feasibility study) will be included as a sixth site in the evaluation matrix. General rankings of the individual sites will be provided based on the final criteria and the top three (3) preferred sites will be identified for further review. A review meeting will be held at this stage of the project with the Downtown Bozeman Partnership and the City of Bozeman to discuss the evaluation criteria and preliminary rankings. Phase 4 – Initial Summary Report The preceding analysis will be presented in an initial summary report for Part 1 of the project. This report will outline the methodology used for the analysis and present the findings. A summary sheet will be developed for each of the five (5) potential sites that provides a vicinity map and a summary of evaluation criteria and unique characteristics. Design concepts (diagrammatic space/vertical massing) and cost estimates will be provided as Part 2 of the project after a separate authorization to proceed is provided by the Client. A review meeting will be held with the Downtown Bozeman Partnership and the City of Bozeman at this stage of the project to discuss the initial findings and draft report. The initial summary report will be revised as needed to address all review comments received. Part 2 – Design Concepts and Final Report Phase 5 – Design Concepts and Cost Estimates This phase of the project will consist of up to two (2) diagrammatic design concepts for each of the top three (3) sites. The design concepts will identify access points, proposed circulation/parking layout, number of levels, proposed stair and/or elevator tower locations, potential commercial space on the perimeter, and other miscellaneous features that could be constructed on each site. Concepts will represent diagrammatic space planning and vertical massing only, but not necessarily architectural styling or concepts. Stall counts, square footage of constructed areas, and parking efficiency will be tabulated for each alternative. 92 Concept-level cost estimates will be developed for each concept based on the number of spaces and recent average construction costs per space. A review meeting will be held at this stage of the project with the Downtown Bozeman Partnership and City of Bozeman to review the design concepts. Phase 6 – Final Summary Report The preceding analysis and design concepts will be presented in a final summary report. This report will include all of the elements from both Part 1 and Part 2 of the project. Design concepts (diagrammatic space/vertical massing) and cost estimates will be provided for the top (3) sites only. The report will include a cost summary table that shows the anticipated cost for all five (5) sites, as well as the cost for expanding the existing parking structure (currently being evaluated through a separate feasibility study) for comparison. A final review meeting will be held with the Downtown Bozeman Partnership and the City of Bozeman at this stage of the project to discuss the findings, concept designs and draft report. A final report will be prepared after all review comments are received. Exclusions: The following items are not expected to be needed for this project and are therefore specifically excluded from this scope of work: • Topographic and boundary survey of the proposed sites • Analysis of additional sites beyond the five (5) sites listed in this scope • Architectural styling/design concepts • Design phases beyond high-level concepts • Detailed cost estimates • Presentation of findings beyond the review meetings listed in this scope • Stakeholder/public meetings If needed, these items will be added as a separate task order or contract amendment.
