PROJECT BACKGROUND Pitkin County, The City of Aspen (COA) and the Town of Snowmass Village have been working for over 25 years to create a seamless, off-highway regional trail network. The Elected Officials Transportation Committee (EOTC), which is comprised of the City of Aspen City Council, Town of Snowmass Village Town Council and the Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners, is leading this bicycle and pedestrian connection and transit bypass lane effort. The purpose of this project is to facilitate bicycle and pedestrian connections to transit stops, the Buttermilk Park and Ride, and increase transit speed, reliability and efficiency. There is currently an at grade signalized pedestrian crossing of Highway 82 at the Owl Creek intersection. By grade separating the bicycle and pedestrian crossing at the Highway 82/Owl Creek Road intersection, transit bypass lanes may be installed in the up valley direction at the Harmony intersection and down valley at the Owl Creek intersection. This bicycle and pedestrian grade separated crossing and transit bypass lanes were identified through a study commissioned by the EOTC in 2021. As a result of this identification, the EOTC recognized this transit connection and efficiency improvements as a Tier 1 Priority (highest priority). In 2022, the goal is to conduct a final feasibility analysis (including transit bypass lanes), obtain stakeholder and public feedback, initial planning and engineering including utilities, clarify construction costs and funding sources, and identify partnerships for construction and ongoing maintenance. The 2018 Feasibility Study is included at Attachment A. A concept plan for an overpass and underpass was conducted in 2018 and a transit accessibility and transit efficiency study along with concept development for the bypass lanes was conducted in 2021 (Attachment B). This next step is to build on these plans to combine the transit bypass lanes and the grade separated crossing into one project. This Phase 1 effort is to conduct the necessary public and stakeholder engagement and bring project engineering through a CDOT Field Inspection Review (FIR) or 30% plan development. Phase 2 if authorized will bring this project through FOR and advertisement and may be authorized by extension of this contract. RFP 006.22 Rev. 2021.10.11 CDD Budget Line Item #: 12740100.531000 5 While it is anticipated that an underpass is the desired infrastructure at this location, cost estimates and relevant concept plans for a bicycle and pedestrian overpass from the 2018 study should also be updated for consideration. The grade separated crossing and the transit bypass lanes are to be designed for year-round use. Factors that would need to be considered during planning and engineering include (but are not limited to): property ownership, connection to other regional trails / transit connections / businesses / residences / park and rides, utilities and utility easements, user types, signage and wayfinding, drainage and snow removal, and ongoing maintenance. There are five special considerations for the grade separated crossing and transit bypass lanes that will be integral to the project’s success. 1) Concept and traffic modeling work has been conducted on this project at a couple points in the past few years including a concept design of a grade separated overpass and underpass in 2018 and traffic modeling in 2021 for the grade-separated crossing including transit bypass lanes. This effort is to pick up where these two efforts left off by updating the 2018 concept plans to include the transit bypass lanes, updating the cost estimates, conducting public outreach and stakeholder engagement, and carrying design of the preferred overpass or underpass (as determined by the EOTC) to FIR. 2) Simultaneous design for a multi-use trail will also be conducted along the south side of Highway 82 that will connect into this grade-separated crossing. In a separate contract. Coordination with this design effort will need to be considered when developing this project. 3) In addition to serving as a daily transit and commuter connection, this facility must also be designed for occasional heavy influxes of users during special events, such as the X-Games, which take place at Buttermilk. 4) On the north side of Highway 82, several new developments and expansions may occur in the coming years. This design should consider the connection between these new land developments and the uses on the south side including the Buttermilk Park and Ride and Buttermilk Ski Area. 5) The public outreach and stakeholder engagement efforts are an important component of this effort and should build a story supporting this project including a strong purpose and need. The project will need to consider a variety of complexities including topography, private and public lands, existing and proposed easements, utility relocations, and connectivity to the existing trail system, park and ride facilities, and transit stations. The design team must be skilled in trail design, land planning, engineering and experienced in providing creative solutions to complex problems.

The requirements of the Procurement Code are incorporated herein by this reference. b. The Proposer shall immediately notify the County Manager in writing of any violation of said Code by the County's employees or agents, which violation is known or should have been known by Proposer, and failure to so notify the County of violations within five (5) days of knowledge of such violations shall disqualify the Proposer from award RFP 006.22 Rev. 2021.10.11 CDD Budget Line Item #: 12740100.531000 20 of the Contract being proposed and shall be deemed as a waiver of any action or defense that the Proposer may have against the County by reason of such violation of the Procurement Code. c. The submission of a Proposal shall be conclusive evidence and legal admission that the Proposer: (1) has no questions, complaints or objections in connection with the Proposal process and/or documents, subject to any requests made by Proposer for amplification, clarification, explanation, interpretation or correction pursuant to Paragraph 2.a. and 2.c., above; (2) has no questions, complaints or objections as to the completeness, sufficiency, scope or detail of the Proposal Documents; and (3) has full knowledge of the scope, nature, quality and quantity of work to be performed, the detailed requirements of the Proposal Documents including any and all contract documents, the plans and specifications, the site and conditions under which the work is to be performed, the Pitkin County Procurement Code and applicable Colorado law. 5. a. All Proposals will be opened and read in public by name of Proposer only. No Proposals may be withdrawn after the beginning of the public opening. The County, in its sole discretion, may delay a Proposal opening for no longer than two (2) business days if weather or other circumstances beyond control of Proposers results in delay in receipt of Proposals.

All Proposals submitted must be valid for a minimum period of sixty (60) days after the date of the Proposal opening. During this time, Proposers are investigated, and Proposals are evaluated. 6. a. Proposals will be awarded to the highest scoring Proposer complying with the terms, conditions, guidelines, selection criteria, plans and specifications presented in the Request For Proposals. All rights are reserved by the County to determine, in the County's sole reasonable discretion, whether the Proposal meets the needs or a purpose intended and is within the budget. b. Although price may be a major consideration in the selection of a Proposal, the County does not award on price alone. The County may also consider the quality of product as judged by the County; past experience with Proposers, subcontractors, independent contractors, products or suppliers; qualifications of the Proposers and/or subcontractors, independent contractors or suppliers; services offered; warranties; maintenance considerations; long-range costs; delivery; and similar considerations, all as specified in detail in the RFP. c. The County reserves the absolute right to conduct such investigations as it deems necessary to assist in the evaluation of any Proposal and to establish the experience, responsibility, reliability, references, reputation, business ethics, history, qualifications and financial ability of the Proposers and proposed subcontractors, independent contractors and suppliers. The purpose of such investigation is to satisfy the County that the Proposer has the experience, resources and commercial reputation necessary to perform the work and support any warranties in accordance with the Contract Documents in the prescribed manner and time. RFP 006.22 Rev. 2021.10.11 CDD Budget Line Item #: 12740100.531000 21 d.

The burden of proof of such a demonstration is on the Proposer. In the event that the apparent successful Proposer fails to demonstrate or provide acceptable proof of meeting required performance criteria, that proposal will be rejected and the next eligible Proposer in the selection ranking will be invited to participate in the same process until a proposal meeting performance criteria is found within the ranking of eligible Proposers. The County reserves the rights to reject any or all Proposals or to otherwise accept the Proposal which in the County's sole discretion is in the best interest of the County. e. Pitkin County reserves the right, if it deems such action to be in the best interests of the County, to reject any and all Proposals or to waive any irregularities or informalities therein. Any incomplete, conclusory, false or misleading information provided by Proposer shall be grounds for rejection of the proposal. If proposals are rejected, the County further reserves the right to investigate and accept the next best proposal in order of ranking or to reject all proposals and re-solicit for additional pro- posals. f. Any questions or disputes involving the documents or procedures not covered by these Instructions or other Proposal Documents shall be resolved by the Procurement Officer on the basis of fairness, custom in the industry, maximization of competition and best interests and convenience of the County. 7. Issuance of Notice of Award, execution of Contract Documents and issuance of a Notice to Proceed shall be as specified in the Contract Documents and in accordance with the Pitkin County Procurement Code. County standard practice is to first notice the top-ranked proposer and enter into a final contract agreement prior to notifying unsuccessful bidders. Non-awarded bidders will be notified of the County’s decision and shall be offered an optional debrief conversation of the bidding and evaluation process; debrief conversations may be offered prior to contract signing but, in most cases, will not be scheduled until a contract has been finalized. 8. Contracts will be executed on standard Pitkin County Contract documents and/or by separate agreement with the Proposer. Copies of any applicable standard forms are included with the Proposal Documents.

Project Background Existing Condition The study site (Figure 1) is the signalized, three-leg intersection of SH82 and Owl Creek Road, approximately 2 miles north of Aspen, Colorado. Owl Creek Road is the primary access to the Buttermilk Ski area main parking lot, located in the southwest quadrant of the intersection. Bus stops along SH82 are to the north (down valley buses) and south (up valley buses) of the intersection . Figure 1 - Existing Intersection SH82 2 118 W. 6th St, Ste 200 Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 Phone: 970-945-1004 Fax: 970-945-5948 Access across SH82 is via a push button activated pedestrian signal and cross walk south of the intersection. The length of this crossing is 88′ (6 lanes plus one shoulder). The cross walk provides a connection between the ski area and bus stop on the up-valley side of SH82 and the bus stop, bike path, and residential/commercial development (Burlingame Housing, Maroon Creek Club) on the down valley side. The nearest grade separated crossings of SH82 are 900 feet down-valley, and 1,500 feet up-valley. Those crossings are, on average, over a 3¼ minute walk down-valley and 5½ minute walk up-valley. The current cycle length at the existing signalized intersection is 1 ½ to 2 minutes. It is not realistic to expect users, especially those in the winter typically carrying ski equipment, to use existing underpasses, out of direction by 6 to 10 minutes. There are not existing pedestrian facilities from the Airport to Owl Creek Road adjacent to the up-valley lanes. SGM conducted pedestrian crossing counts at the intersection on March 22-24, 2018. Previous pedestrian count data was also compiled for the same location in 2010, and at other SH82 crossings (Basalt Avenue in 2010 and 2015, and Aspen Airport Business Center in 2010). The results of the pedestrian count are summarized in the Warrants section of this memorandum. Proposed improvement The intent of the proposed improvement project is to construct a pedestrian underpass or overpass at, or near, the same location as the existing at-grade cross walk, and connect to the existing sidewalks or trails with ADA compliant sidewalk grades. For the purpose of this Feasibility Level Study, SGM laid one underpass (Figure 2) and one overpass (Figure 3) configuration for the purpose of impact discussion and conceptual cost estimates. Grade Separation Warrants In determining the need for a GSPC at this location, it should be noted that most literature on GSPC warrants are for non-controlled locations, that is, locations where vehicle traffic is not controlled by signal or stop signs yet where pedestrians do attempt to cross. For such a location, vehicle and pedestrian volume warrants do exist. For a controlled intersection such as at SH82/Owl Creek Road, the need for a GSPC is determined more by vehicle delay and cost factors. Instead of “warrants”, which are defined thresholds that are either met or not met, the Buttermilk crossing site should be viewed in terms of geometric and operational “factors” which will aid in the determination of whether a GSPC should be constructed at this location. Twelve factors are generally looked at for determining the need for a GSPC at non-controlled intersections. Below is a summary of these factors, which provide a basis when considering a potential GSPC site:  Vehicular volume- non-controlled intersection o Recommended threshold: Arterial: ADT > 25,000 and 4-hour volume > 7,500 o SH82: ADT from 2016 is 19,000 and 4-hour volume is approximately 8,000  Pedestrian Volume o Recommended threshold: Arterial: 300 (4 hour) o March 2018 Counts: 121 (peak 3 hour), 177 (11 hour volume)  Gap time (uncontrolled intersections): N/A  Speed: o Recommended threshold: posted speed of 55 mph or more o SH82: posted speed is 45 mph 3 118 W. 6th St, Ste 200 Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 Phone: 970-945-1004 Fax: 970-945-5948  Sight distance- usually correlates to the geometric conditions of the roadway for an uncontrolled intersection. Sight distances at this location meet acceptable minimum standards.  Effective crossing width: SH82 88 feet- no maximum crossing length warrant is given.  Lane configuration: SH 82 6 lanes, 1 shoulder. Most agencies only consider GSPC of facilities of six lanes or more.  Median type: none  Distance to nearest grade separated crossing: Recommended threshold: greater than 600’ Actual: 900’ north, 1,500’ south  Effectiveness of at-grade crossing (delay study): o Current pedestrian cycle length = 35 seconds o Based on current pedestrian counts, 7-10 pedestrian crossing cycles per morning (AM) peak hour; 15-25 pedestrian cycles per afternoon (PM) peak hour o Summary: Elimination of the 35 second pedestrian cycle is equivalent to 4-6 minutes per hour (AM) and 8-15 minutes per hour (PM) of additional green time for vehicles. “Delay” is spread and averaged across all vehicles when looking at an overall intersection. Therefore, the elimination of 6 minutes for peak AM hour for 1,500 vehicles, and 15 minutes for peak PM hour for 2,200 vehicles means a reduced delay of 0.24 seconds AM and 0.40 seconds PM per vehicle. This reduction in delay, although an improvement, has negligible impact to the overall intersection level of service.  Crash data/incidents: pedestrian/vehicle incidents have not been noted at this location.  Land use and activity centers: No projected changes that would increase pedestrian crossings significantly  Special Event usage: Yes, events such as the X-Games generate a significant increase in pedestrian crossings and traffic delays, plus the need for Uniform Traffic Control by CSP.  Special needs pedestrians: No Other GSPC’s of SH82 The following locations have had underpasses constructed under SH82:  Aspen Airport Business Center Underpass o Vehicle and pedestrian counts: Vehicles:  CDOT ADT 19,000  Pedestrians: 40 peak 3-hour period o Project Cost: $5.4M (2013)  Basalt Avenue Underpass o Vehicle and pedestrian counts:  Vehicles: CDOT ADT 19,000  Pedestrians: 125 peak 3-hour period o Project Cost: $6.2M (2016)  Willits Underpass o Vehicle and pedestrian counts:  Vehicles: CDOT ADT 21,000  Pedestrians: unknown 4 118 W. 6th St, Ste 200 Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 Phone: 970-945-1004 Fax: 970-945-5948 o Project Cost: $2.5M (2011 EOPC) Structure Requirements Underpass  Location- Approximately 30′ up-valley of the existing crosswalk (aligned with the existing sidewalk to the Buttermilk Parking lot)(Figure 2).  Locating the underpass away from the existing crosswalk location appears to have less site impacts.  Structure Minimum Dimensions- 14′ wide x 8′ tall walls with 12″ arch, 115′ long  Approach Ramps- o From the affordable housing side- approach would use a lowered portion of the existing Aspen ABC bike path to access the underpass with a sidewalk connection to the down valley bus stop. The sidewalk along SH82 accessing the existing at-grade crossing would be removed to deter at-grade crossing of SH82. o Buttermilk approach would be a connection from the underpass to the existing sidewalk along the east edge of the Buttermilk parking lot, and a connection to the sidewalk leading to the up valley bus stop. Some sidewalk removal required along SH82 with fencing or landscape barrier to deter at- grade crossings.  Site impacts- Underpass construction would impact the sidewalk and trees between SH82 and the bike path on the bike path side. A retaining wall would be needed for the lowered section of the bike path. The existing Owl Creek traffic signal may be able to stay in-place if protected with a retaining wall. The SH82 traffic signal pole and controller may be able to stay in place.  Lighting/safety- Lighting would be required within the underpass. Existing street lighting can remain. At least one pedestrian light along the bike path would need to be reset. Railing would be needed on most of the proposed retaining walls to prevent falls. Security cameras would likely be desired and could potentially be tied in to the existing RFTA BRT system.  Drainage- New storm and underdrain systems would be required to drain the low points at each end of the underpass. It is uncertain where the drainage can day lighted, but it may be possible to outlet the drainage onto the airport property if there is an adequate drop in grade. An existing curb inlet along the west SH82 curb would need to be replaced if the underpass is constructed south of the crosswalk.  Significant impacts to utilities running parallel to and crossing SH82. These utilities include: sanitary sewer, potable and irrigation water, fiber optic, natural gas, and electric. These would need to be lowered and/or relocated.  Traffic control considerations- Traffic control during construction would be extensive and complex. SH82 traffic would have to be shifted multiple times and traffic lanes would have to be reduced to single through and single turn lanes.  Cost- $7,500,000 to $9,500,000 (final cost mostly dependent on utility relocations and construction phasing/traffic control costs)  Similar underpass structures exist near the project site- Basalt Avenue and Aspen Airport Business Center (AABC) and are shown in the figures below. 5 118 W. 6th St, Ste 200 Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 Phone: 970-945-1004 Fax: 970-945-5948 Figure 4 - Basalt Avenue Underpass (16’x8’ + 12” arch) Figure 5 - AABC Underpass (16’x8’ + 12” arch) Overpass  Location- approximately 60 feet south of the existing cross walk (Figure 3). This location was selected to minimize impacts to the sight distance to the existing northbound SH82 traffic signals.  Structure Dimensions- 14′ wide, 100′ clear span (abutment face to abutment face)  Vertical clearance over SH82- 17.5′ minimum per CDOT.  Approach Ramps- Because of the need to keep approach grades 8.33% or less, significant reconstruction for the approach sidewalks will be needed for the overpass options. Reconstruction is needed for all approaches on both sides of the bridge. The affordable housing side approach would realign and raise the profile of the existing bike path, while leaving the existing sidewalk along SH82 in place for an alternate connection to the overpass (via stairs) and bike path from the down valley bus stop. 6 118 W. 6th St, Ste 200 Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 Phone: 970-945-1004 Fax: 970-945-5948 Buttermilk approach would be from the south east corner of the Buttermilk parking lot to the overpass. Sidewalk along SH82 would be removed to deter at–grade crossings, but the west bridge abutment would be set back from SH82 to allow a future sidewalk to be constructed north to if sidewalk in the northwest quadrant of the intersection is constructed.  Site impacts- Overpass construction would impact the sidewalk and trees between SH82 and the bike path on the east side to a lesser extent than the underpass alternative. A retaining wall would be needed for the raised section of the east side sidewalk. The existing Owl Creek traffic signal would be able to stay in-place without retaining wall protection. The SH82 traffic signal pole and controller would not be impacted.  Lighting/safety- Lighting would be required on the overpass and at the approaches. Existing street lighting can remain. Railing would be needed on all of the proposed retaining walls.  Drainage/ Utilities- Impacts to existing utilities would be confined only to the bridge abutment/foundation locations. The existing inlet along the west SH82 curb would remain in place.  Construction phasing and traffic control- Most overpass and retaining wall construction will be confined outside of the traffic lanes so traffic disruption can be minimized. Placement of the bridge structure can be done as a nighttime operation.  Visual impacts- The overpass structure and approach walls will create a significant visual impact to the adjacent properties. The deck of the bridge structure at its highest point may be approximately 22 feet above the surface of SH82.  Cost- $4,500,000 to $5,500,000  Two existing overpass structures in Colorado- at Platte Canyon High School over US285 and Wadsworth Boulevard at Bowles Avenue in Denver are shown in the figures below.

Making crossings safe and quick for pedestrians, while reducing delays at signals for transit users is a win-win for everyone. SGM has been involved in numerous grade-separated pedestrian crossing structures throughout the Roaring Fork Valley and we have put together “a dream team” of engineers and subconsultants that give the project partners the best possible design and project management for their money. All of us at SGM and our team of DHM, ACL, and RJ Engineering appreciate this opportunity to propose on what will be another important pedestrian connection along the SH82 corridor. SGM has served Pitkin County, City of Aspen, Town of Snowmass Village, and RFTA on many crossings, ranging in scope from feasibility studies (Pitkin County Brush Creek Park and Ride to Aspen Airport Business Center Trail and the Buttermilk Crossing) to full construction documents (SH 82/Basalt Avenue Underpass and SH 82/27th Street Underpasses). We will undertake this opportunity with the same professionalism and dedication that we have provided in the past. We are bringing together a team of enthusiastic and knowledgeable resources that includes public process, structural, civil, geotechnical, landscaping and traffic signal professionals to assist in this project. A key to our proposal is providing two individuals you are already familiar with to lead our Project Team. We are proposing Mark Frymoyer, PE to be the Project Manager and me to be the Principal-in-Charge. Mark’s overall pedestrian crossing structure design experience and familiarity with the SH 82 corridor will help Pitkin County understand the challenges and opportunities when combining the preferred crossing structure alternative with the selected transit bypass configuration. Both Mark and I have worked previously with all our project subconsultants and have selected them for our team because of the proven experience and area knowledge that they bring to this project and project area. On behalf of SGM, we thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal. You have our assurance that the project partners will receive the service you are seeking. We accept and acknowledge the receipt of Addendum 1.

The primary goals of this project are to facilitate bike and pedestrian connections to transit stops and increase transit speed, reliability, and efficiency. The project is being led by Pitkin County, the City of Aspen, the Town of Snowmass Village, and the Elected Officials Transportation Committee (EOTC). The scope of work for the first phase of this project is to conduct necessary stakeholder engagement and advance project engineering through a CDOT Field Inspection Review (FIR) level of plan development. This pedestrian crossing was most recently studied by SGM in the 2018 Buttermilk Pedestrian Grade Separation Feasibility and Warrant Study, which determined that a grade-separated pedestrian crossing (GSPC) was warranted and feasible at this location. Underpass and overpass structure options were considered in this study, with the preferred option to be determined. The Feasibility Study considered safety, cost, environmental impact, right-of-way requirements, traffic impacts during construction, and utility crossings for each structure option. The purpose of this current RFP is to further evaluate the underpass and overpass options and select the preferred option. The selected option will then be taken through a public input process and Preliminary Design, with the optional scope being the Final Design. In addition to the crossing structure, a transit bypass is part of this project’s scope of work. The transit bypass will allow up-valley bound buses to bypass the traffic signal at Harmony Road and down-valley bound buses to bypass the signal at Owl Creek Road. The SGM team, consisting of our civil, structural engineers, and surveyors, along with DHM (landscape architecture and public engagement), ACL (traffic signal design and construction traffic control), and RJ Engineering (geotechnical), is excited to help Pitkin County and your project partners advance this project forward beginning with alternatives evaluation and public process, through preliminary design. We understand the construction of this pedestrian connection is extremely challenging because of the impacts PROPOSAL RFP 006.22 – Buttermilk Crossing and Transit Signal Bypass p | 2 to traffic on SH 82 and existing utilities during construction, but we also understand the great benefits that a grade-separated crossing will have to provide a safe and convenient route for pedestrians across SH 82. The SGM team is the only locally based team that can provide the diverse engineering services and public engagement that a project like the Buttermilk Crossing and Transit Signal Bypass Project demands. We understand this project includes all aspects of design and engineering necessary to deliver a pedestrian crossing structure and the associated improvements to sidewalks and trail connections to provide critical pedestrian/bike connections across SH 82. Also included in the project scope are the roadway cross-section changes and signal timing modifications associated with creating designated transit bypasses on SH 82. We understand that this project is a partnership between local jurisdictions and will require significant CDOT and RFTA engagement. Specifically, we understand the following about this project: • Although a preferred option has not yet been selected and both the underpass and overpass structure alternatives will be updated from the previous Feasibility Study, the underpass option is considered the favorite. • The project scope of work under this contract is just through Preliminary Design with optional scope and fee provided for Final Design. • The general public and key stakeholders must be identified and appropriately engaged throughout the design process. Finding a balance between the genuine engagement of stakeholders and the public and managing the process to maintain an identified project schedule is critical to the outreach component of the project. • Site constraints include but are not limited to SH 82 ROW; RFTA bus facilities, bus circulation, storm drainage, existing trails, sidewalks; and utilities. • Minimizing traffic impacts during construction is a very high priority and needs to be well thought out and coordinated with the project partners during design. Given CDOT lane width requirements during construction and the constraints of this project, the earlier these impacts are addressed, the more successful the project will be. • RFTA desires to have the signal timing optimization for bus movements when more green time is available due to the elimination of lengthy pedestrian crossing phases. Above all, we understand this project is a critical link in the multi-modal infrastructure and connectivity for Pitkin County and its residents. The crossing structure must be designed so it is not only functional but also meets the aesthetic and visual expectations of the County residents. PROPOSAL RFP 006.22 – Buttermilk Crossing and Transit Signal Bypass p | 3 Project Approach Our project approach has been developed based on our experience with similar projects, the information provided in the RFP, and our long history of working in this community and along Highway 82. The General Scope of Services is defined in the Request for Proposals and is the basis for our proposed approach. The SGM Project Team has been engaged in numerous projects along the Highway 82 corridor over the years. Our Project Team, including our subconsultants, is virtually the same team that has recently completed the complex and highly challenging SH 82 and 27th Street Underpasses for RFTA in Glenwood Springs. The experience gained on that very similar project, which included an underpass under Highway 82 and coordination with the local agency (Glenwood Springs), CDOT, and RFTA - makes the SGM Team more qualified and efficient than any other team in the Valley. This project is anticipated to be constructed entirely in the CDOT Right of Way. We are assuming that this project will follow the required process for a Local Agency project through the preliminary design phase. This will include holding a Design Scoping Review (DSR) Meeting and Field Inspection Review (FIR) meeting. We understand the CDOT Local Agency process and the key staff at CDOT to engage at the appropriate steps in the process. The numerous CDOT Region 3 Local Agency projects SGM has worked on (listed on page 21 in the Qualifications and Experience section) have provided us with the procedural knowledge, and more importantly the relationships with CDOT staff who will be involved in the review and approval of the project. We understand the interaction with the project team and CDOT for approvals of this project can be a detailed and lengthy process requiring an experienced team to avoid potential obstacles – SGM’s Team brings this experience to this project. The following narrative identifies the Objective, Task Description, and Consultant Deliverables for each of the tasks required for our proposed project delivery method. Task 1 – Administration Objective This task can be the most crucial aspect of these types of multidisciplinary projects with numerous stakeholders. It will be imperative that all disciplines and stakeholders be identified and appropriately included in the project development process from inception to construction. The primary stakeholders include Pitkin County, the City of Aspen, the Town of Snowmass Village, CDOT, RFTA, and the adjacent property owners; secondary stakeholders may include private utilities, elected officials, community groups, and the general public. Once the project is underway, it will be equally important to maintain open channels of communication between County Staff and the Project Team and engage the public in meaningful discussions concerning the project. PROPOSAL RFP 006.22 – Buttermilk Crossing and Transit Signal Bypass p | 4 Task Description SGM will work closely with County staff to develop the framework of the project at the initial kickoff meeting. From that point forward, SGM’s project manager will coordinate all phases of the work with the Project Team and provide regular progress reports to the County. As we know from similar Local Agency projects, active project management is critical to ensuring the project remains on schedule and important milestones are met. It is anticipated that project meetings will be held on at least a bi-weekly basis to keep the project on track. A complete public/stakeholder process will be created with input from the project partners. Public processes can take many forms, and our goal is to provide you with the level of outreach needed to legitimize the process without delaying the project schedule. We understand the importance of this structure and the interest that a proposed structure will generate within the general public and also users of the trail and transit facilities that it will connect. We also anticipate having work session meetings with the EOTC Board, and elected officials (County Commissioners, Town, and City Councils). Deliverables • Meeting Minutes • Monthly Progress Reports provided with Invoices • Comment Resolution Forms from Agency and Stakeholder Reviews o Public engagement graphics and exhibits for open house meetings Task 2 – Civil Engineering This task represents the actual design development effort required for the project. As with nearly all design projects, this is a sequential process that engages multiple disciplines at key milestones during the project. The proposed steps outlined below are consistent with a typical CDOT project development model. Using this model will allow reviews to occur at key times and inputs from these reviews to be efficiently incorporated into the design. Task 2.1 – Initial Project Development Objective Clarity of stakeholder goals and priorities is critical to project success. Once these have been established, the project development phase can begin. The objective of this phase is to compile all the information that is needed for the start of the design. This includes all the fieldwork to fully define the existing conditions above ground and below the surface. Task Description After the Project Kickoff Meeting and initial coordination with all stakeholders, the project development tasks will begin in earnest, including: Key Elements • Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) • Geotechnical Investigation • Field Surveying • Base Mapping • Site Analysis PROPOSAL RFP 006.22 – Buttermilk Crossing and Transit Signal Bypass p | 5 • Document review of available reports, utility information, development applications, and drainage studies • Physical survey of the existing conditions • Legal survey/monumentation in relation to defining project limits, easements, ROW, etc. • Subsurface Utility Engineering locating and marking • Base map development from project surveying and utility locating activities • Geotechnical investigations to determine subsurface soil conditions, foundation requirements, and pavement sections Also, prior to the Field Inspection Review (FIR), coordination with CDOT Specialty Units will commence to understand clearance requirements and chart the course for acquiring any applicable clearances (e.g. Environmental, Utilities, and Right of Way) Deliverables • Baseline Scope, Schedule, and Budget • Project Design Criteria Memo • Project Base Mapping • Geotechnical Report Task 2.2 – Conceptual Design and Alternative Evaluation Objective The proposed design options created in the 2018 Feasibility Study will be refined and updated, taking into account the transit bypass design and updated estimated construction costs. From this update and the collection of the existing conditions data, a preferred structure option (underpass or overpass) will be selected and approved by the EOTC. Task Description The Project Team will review the Design Criteria, opportunities, and limitations of the proposed conceptual design and then meet with the project partners to discuss the detailed technical aspects of the proposed concepts. The Team would then work to finalize the preferred option to advance into Preliminary Design. This will be documented with a Structure Selection Report. Selection of detailed technical aspects of the preferred alternative may be based in part on the lowest cost, but other requirements to be considered include: • Site requirements (topography, alignment, earthwork) • Safety (during construction, traffic, detours) • Utilities - locate, mark and survey • Structural (material options, structure and wall type, foundation conditions, groundwater) • Construction (phasing, ease of construction, false work, season, location of site) • Drainage (site surface drainage, underpass drainage handling method) • Life cycle costs (maintenance, durability) • Aesthetics Key Elements • Development of Technical Solutions • Confirm Technical Solutions with key stakeholders • Selection of preferred alternative PROPOSAL RFP 006.22 – Buttermilk Crossing and Transit Signal Bypass p | 6 Deliverables • Updated Feasibility Study with updated construction costs • Minor Structure Selection Report • Wall Selection Report • Memorandum of Design - Utilities Task 2.3 – Preliminary Design (FIR) Objective Develop a set of preliminary design plans based on accepted design criteria for the preferred alternative based on crossing location, approach ramp configuration, existing roadway and trail geometry, utility studies, geotechnical recommendations, site constraints, and costs. Task Description In this stage, the design team begins assembling the preliminary design package. The conceptual design is further developed with added detail. The preliminary design is committed to plan drawings which will become the basis for presenting the limits and impacts of the project to the stakeholders. The preliminary design will cover all project elements to a level of detail that defines how all elements interact with each other so that no unexpected conflicts occur in later phases of design. The preliminary design will not have all the details necessary to construct the project but will provide an accurate snapshot of project impacts and costs. Deliverables • Site General Layout • Structure Plan and Profile drawings • Sidewalk and Trail Plan and Profile drawings • Roadway Plan and Profile drawings • Traffic signal plans • Storm drain system plan and profile • Construction Phasing Plan • Utility Relocation Plan • Preliminary Geotechnical Report • Preliminary Drainage Report • Preliminary Quantities and Opinion of Probable Cost • Preliminary ROW Plan Sheets • Special Conditions Specification Outline Key Elements • Crossing Structure Design • Sidewalk and trail design • Wall Design • Storm system Design • SUE Plans • Traffic control plans • Lighting Design • Signal Plans • Snowmelt design • Signing and striping, wayfinding PROPOSAL RFP 006.22 – Buttermilk Crossing and Transit Signal Bypass p | 7 Task 3 – Landscape Architecture This task is to plan for and design the landscaping and irrigation systems, along with aesthetic treatments and outdoor fixtures and furnishings. Materials, colors, and finish textures will be discussed with the project partners to create a treatment palate that is consistent with other locations along the corridor. Visual aids will be created including rendered drawings as needed to be used in public and EOTC presentations. Task 4 – Transportation Planning This task will update the traffic projections and analyze the most current bicycle and pedestrian demand. It will utilize the most current traffic counts that are done on a regular basis by the County. The results of this study will be used to update the warrant for a grade-separated structure at this location. Task 5 – Right-of-Way Acquisitions (if necessary) This task will include all the work required to define the existing ROW and ownership, determine if additional right-of-way or easements are required for the project improvements, legal descriptions of the easements, and acquisition services. Only the identification of existing right-of-way and easements is included in SGM’s scope and fee, but the remaining tasks can be provided if needed through a change order and by adding acquisition specialists to the design team. Focus Areas A number of focus areas were identified in the RFQ or have been identified by the SGM Design Team as critical to the project’s success. These areas either have complex technical issues that need to be addressed or require added coordination so that the design schedule is not adversely impacted: Update the 2018 Feasibility Study and Determine a Preferred Alternative The 2018 Feasibility Study done by SGM defined the warrants for when a grade-separated pedestrian crossing (GSPC) should be constructed, as well as the differences between using an underpass or an overpass at this location. The study did not include the Transit Bypass in the conceptual layout, so the designs presented in the study will need to be revised and the costs updated for 2022 unit costs. Coordination with the Adjacent Trail Design Project Pitkin County has issued an RFP for a trail improvement project on the south side of SH 82 that begins just past the up-valley bus stop located south of Owl Creek Road. This trail project will tie into the existing sidewalk at the transit stop. SGM will coordinate designs with this adjacent project, although it appears the two project limits will not overlap or impact the other. PROPOSAL RFP 006.22 – Buttermilk Crossing and Transit Signal Bypass p | 8 Consideration of Special Event Usage Special events such as the X Games are held at the Buttermilk Ski area so the proposed crossing structure needs to consider not only daily transit and commuter volumes, but also occasional large events which may require extra capacity to be designed into the proposed improvements. Consideration of Future Development on the North Side of SH 82 We understand that several new developments and expansions may be occurring in the coming years adjacent to the project site. Specifically, the Aspen Lumberyard Affordable Housing development is in the planning stages. This development would add approximately 300 affordable housing units adjacent to Mountain Rescue Aspen and approximately ½ mile north of this site. Also, we understand Aspen Skiing Company will be making significant improvements at the base of Buttermilk Ski Area. These developments and their impacts on traffic flows on Highway 82 and the bike-pedestrian facilities will be considered in the design. Public Outreach Public outreach tasks (Open House, surveys, project website) are specified in the RFP, and we will rely on DHM’s resources and experience to facilitate these meetings. SGM key staff will also attend the meetings to address any technical engineering questions. Construction Phasing, Traffic Control, and Signal Optimization Key elements in this project’s implementation will be keeping traffic flowing on SH 82, Owl Creek Road, and through the nearby transit stops. Well executed construction phasing and traffic control during construction will be paramount to the success of this project. Because of the similarities between this project and SGM’s recently completed design project for the underpass at SH 82 and 27th Street in Glenwood Springs, we have assembled the same team of subconsultants to address the phasing and traffic control elements for this project. Steve Sabinash is one of the most experienced traffic engineers in the state with over 30 years of specializing in phasing and traffic control plans. Additionally, he is an expert in traffic signal operations and will help the team develop new signal timing to optimize the signal for bus movements and elimination of the pedestrian crossing movements. SGM will create a suggested phasing plan during preliminary design to show the logistics of construction work areas and accesses. Subsurface Utility Engineering The horizontal location of all existing utilities will be part of the created topographic base file. Once roadway and drainage design has progressed far enough to identify potential conflict locations, utility potholing can be conducted to determine utility depths. Once each utility has been fully located, relocation design can begin on all impacted utilities. On-site coordination meetings with the utility owners may be needed to discuss relocation options and responsibilities. All existing utilities and proposed relocations will be shown on utility layout plans that will be part of the Preliminary plan set. This process will result in the project meeting SUE Quality Level B as defined by SB- 18-167. SGM has the in-house resources to perform the utility locating and the Subsurface Utility Engineering without having to bring in Front Range subconsultants. Our staff can be much more responsive and can work directly with our design team to prevent schedule delays. PROPOSAL RFP 006.22 – Buttermilk Crossing and Transit Signal Bypass p | 9 Pedestrian Lighting Design As we discovered on our previous underpass projects, proper lighting is not just an aesthetic feature but is an important element to the user’s experience and sense of safety. The lighting design effort will be led by our in- house professional lighting consultant, Amber Haymes, and will draw from our previous underpass projects as well as other recently constructed underpasses from Glenwood Springs to Aspen. Right-of-Way Acquisition For the preliminary phase of this work, we will identify any acquisition needs as early as practical. While the acquisition of right-of-way is not included in this scope of work, we will add it to the final design scope if needed. We have experience working with multiple CDOT approved acquisition specialists and will engage them as needed during final design. Proposed Schedule The estimated schedule is summarized below. This design schedule was vetted from milestone dates given in the RFP and is based on a Notice to Proceed of April 25, 2022. We have provided suggested changes to some of the milestone dates based on past project experience. Project partner review periods are also accounted for in this schedule.

PROPOSAL RFP 006.22 – Buttermilk Crossing and Transit Signal Bypass p | 18 Relevant Experience – Example Projects US40 West Trail Connection – Steamboat Springs, CO This project is currently under design and includes the design and engineering of sidewalk and trail connections totaling 2.17 miles linking the outlying neighborhoods of Steamboat Springs to the existing pedestrian sidewalk and trails network. This project includes 800 feet of 8-foot hard surface sidewalk, 2,750 feet of 10-foot-wide hard surface core trail with a 3-foot soft-surface trail, 8,000 feet of soft-surface trail, a concrete underpass crossing of Highway 40, and retaining walls. SGM was selected to manage and design all aspects of the project and to prepare plan sets with standards and specifications that meet City and CDOT requirements. Right-of-way acquisition required for the project adhered to Federal right-of-way acquisition requirements, including the Uniform Act. This project followed CDOT local agency guidelines for state and federal aid projects, and work included a topographic survey, full Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE), a waterline extension, and extensive coordination with impacted property owners. The project is currently in the Final Design phase with construction expected in 2024. Significant project elements included: • 110-foot pedestrian underpass crossing SH40 • Wingwalls and retaining walls • 3,000 feet of waterline extension • Environmental studies including wetland delineation and cultural resources • CDOT coordination and Colorado Parks and Wildlife coordination Owner: City of Steamboat Springs Budget: $524,000 (Design) RFTA SH 82 and 27th Street Grade Separated Pedestrian Crossings – Glenwood Springs, CO The Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA) and the City of Glenwood Springs (COGS) had been working over several years on implementing a grade- separated crossing of both legs of the intersection of 27th Street and State Highway 82. The new crossings were needed to provide a safer pedestrian/bike route between the neighborhoods to the west of SH 82 for accessing the RFTA Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Station and create a safer crossing of the Rio Grande Trail (RGT) crossing at 27th Street. The grade-separated crossings would replace the existing at-grade crossing which bicyclists and pedestrians use to cross Highway 82 and 27th Street at the signalized intersection, thereby providing more signal time for SH 82 traffic. PROPOSAL RFP 006.22 – Buttermilk Crossing and Transit Signal Bypass p | 19 SGM was awarded this design project in the Fall of 2020 and worked closely with RFTA, the City of Glenwood Springs, and CDOT to develop a design that accommodated the needs of motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users. The design project had several challenges that the design team worked through including complex construction phasing and traffic control during construction, multiple utilities requiring relocation, a constrained right-of-way, and a short design schedule. SGM provided project management, surveying and right-of-way, Subsurface Utility Engineering (including all locating and marking), underpass and retaining wall design, and sidewalk/trail design. As project prime, SGM also managed the work of subconsultants for geotechnical, construction phasing, traffic signal design, landscape architecture, public engagement, and acquisitions services. As part of this high-profile project, SGM lead our client through the CDOT approval process and provided them with 3D models and renderings of the underpasses and walls to guide their decisions on final details. Project construction is slated to start in the Spring of 2022. Owner: RFTA Budget: $767,000 (Design) SH-82 Basalt Underpass – Basalt, CO This was a critical safety improvement project for the Town of Basalt that provided a long- desired grade-separated pedestrian crossing of State Highway 82 at Basalt Avenue. The new crossing provides a safer pedestrian/bike route between the existing up-and-down valley RFTA Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stops at Basalt Avenue, and between the historic downtown and Southside areas of Basalt. SGM was awarded this design project in August of 2014 and worked closely with the Town of Basalt, CDOT, and RFTA in developing a design that accommodates a variety of users and serves as a gateway to the Town. The design project had several challenges that the design team worked through including construction phasing and traffic control during construction, high groundwater, utilities, public process, and schedule constraints. The project was put out to bid in 10 months from the project initiation date. This is notable given the project complexities and the number of stakeholders and is a great example of resources that SGM can provide to meet the challenges of a complex and accelerated Local Agency project. Construction was completed in 2017. Owner: Town of Basalt Budget: $550,000 Design / $6,200,000 Construction PROPOSAL RFP 006.22 – Buttermilk Crossing and Transit Signal Bypass p | 20 South Midland Avenue Reconstruction – Glenwood Springs, CO This section of roadway is one of the heaviest traveled streets in the City of Glenwood Springs and provides the only practical access connecting South Glenwood to the rest of the city. The total length of the project is approximately 7,000 feet. The project includes multiple challenges with geometrically deficient intersections, poor drainage, unstable slopes, and utilities. SGM worked closely with the City of Glenwood Springs in developing a design that includes an entirely new roadway section with curb and gutter and sidewalk, intersection improvements (including a roundabout at the Four Mile Road intersection that goes to the Sunlight Ski area), drainage improvements, retaining walls, soil nail walls, utilities, rockfall mitigation, and construction phasing. SGM began the design project in June of 2017 and advanced the design to 90% by the end of 2018 when the City was awarded a federal BUILD grant. With the grant award, the project has switched tracks from a locally funded project to a federalized Local Agency project. Construction began in the fall of 2020 and is currently ongoing. Owner: City of Glenwood Springs Budget: 2017 - Current / $650,000 Design / $14,000,000 Est. Construction Budget: $524,000 (Design) HWY 133 Corridor Improvements – Carbondale, CO DHM worked closely with the Town of Carbondale to implement the Town’s vision for the improvements north of Main Street along both sides of SH 133 to the Roaring Fork River Bridge. The Board of Trustees and the community invested significant time in discussing the design direction for this corridor through both the Comprehensive Mater Plan and the PLT process, and DHM Design helped take their vision and decisions forward. For the overall landscape theme, the Town preferred pockets of landscaping at key locations such as intersections and gateways, which provide ease of maintenance while achieving a high level of aesthetic design. Early on DHM Design conducted an initial analysis of irrigation requirements for the corridor, so that pump designs and other considerations for the irrigation system would adequately cover the distance of the corridor from Main Street to the bridge. The maintenance requirements were a critical consideration in the design process; close coordination with Town Public Works staff was vital for the long-term success of the project.

A breakdown of SGM labor hours by task is on the following page. The project is divided into four phases - 1) administration, 2) civil engineering, 3) landscape architecture, and 4) transportation planning. The proposed method of compensation is time and materials not-to-exceed. SGM has also submitted a proposal for the Truscott to Owl Creek Connection RFP. We understand there will be significant interfacing between these two projects. The fee below was developed independent of the fee developed for the Truscott to Owl Creek project. However, if selected for both projects there may be some opportunity for cost savings by combining similar project elements. The following assumptions were made in the development of this fee estimate: • Bi-weekly project coordination meetings are assumed throughout the duration of this phase. The project manager will attend all meetings. Discipline leads will attend the meetings on an as-needed basis. Project stakeholders will also attend these meetings. • One public open house and necessary materials and one public survey is assumed. • The project website will be maintained throughout the duration of this phase. • The utility engineering work in this scope will include an 811 ticket, discussions with utility owners, investigation of surface utilities, and identification of potential conflicts. • This project will likely require compliance with the Subsurface Utility Engineering law. However, the test holes and locates necessary to comply with the law will happen after the completion of the FIR design and are therefore included in the Optional Fee submittal. • Although it is not explicitly stated in the proposal, the fee assumes that compliance with all CDOT Local Agency project requirements is required. • If right-of-way acquisition is required, that work will be completed between completion of FIR and Final PS&E. Therefore, no fee for right-of-way acquisition is included in this scope of work. • Tunnel lighting and snowmelt may be required. Time has been included to complete a preliminary review of the feasibility of these systems. • While both underpasses and overpasses will be studied in the alternatives phase, the fee has been developed assuming a reinforced concrete underpass. If it is an overpass, this fee will cover most standard bridge types. If a more complex bridge is the chosen alternative, the FIR design fee should be reviewed. • SGM’s survey team has completed multiple surveys recently in this area as part of recent project work. We assume that most of that survey work is usable. This will reduce traffic control required at this intersection and field time.

Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically when we send you documents for electronic signature. Acknowledging your Access, Intent, and Consent to Receive and Sign Materials Electronically To confirm that you can access this information electronically, which will be similar to other electronic notices and disclosures that we will provide to you, please verify that you were able to read this electronic disclosure and that you also were able to print on paper or electronically save this page for your future reference and access or that you were able to e-mail this disclosure and consent to an address where you will be able to print on paper or save it for your future reference and access. Further, if you consent to receive notices and disclosures exclusively in electronic format on the terms and conditions described above, please let us know by clicking the 'I agree' button below. By checking the 'I Agree' box, I confirm that:  I am establishing my intent to be bound to the transaction, and indicating that I am fully aware of the purpose for which the signature is being provided.  I can access and read this Electronic CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC RECEIPT OF ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURES document; and  I can print on paper the disclosure or save or send the disclosure to a place where I can print it, for future reference and access; and  Until or unless I notify Pitkin County as described above, I consent to receive from exclusively through electronic means all notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgments, and other documents that are required to be provided or made available to me by Pitkin County during the course of my relationship with you. Signing Documents without a Pitkin County DocuSign Account: Pitkin County may not require all document signers to be authorized users of the Pitkin County DocuSign Account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of this document. When you don't have a DocuSign account, you will be provided the opportunity to agree to the Legal Disclosure each time you open an "envelope" for signing, at this time, you can download and retain this disclosure. Pitkin County will forward completed documents that you've reviewed, processed or signed via email. Should you require copies of these signed documents (e.g., if they get deleted from your email account) you should request those documents from Pitkin County under the Colorado Open Records Act by contacting the Pitkin County custodian who sent you the document for signature. Signing Documents with a Pitkin County DocuSign Account: Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure created on: 3/20/2020 3:28:13 PM Parties agreed to: David Pesnichak, Mike Fowler Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of this document. Getting paper or electronic copies At any time, you may request from us a paper or electronic copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper or electronic copies of any such documents from our office to you, you may be charged a per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper or electronic copies from us by following the procedure described below. Withdrawing your consent If you are an authorized DocuSign Account holder, you can decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. Described below is the process for informing us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and also how to withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically. Consequences of changing your mind If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your DocuSign user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us. All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgments, and other documents that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures electronically from us. How to contact Pitkin County: You may contact us to let us know of your changes as to how we may contact you electronically, to request paper copies of certain information from us, and to withdraw your prior consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically as follows: To contact us by email send messages to Helpdesk@provelocity.com To advise Pitkin County of your new e-mail address To let us know of a change in your e-mail address where we should send notices and disclosures electronically to you, you must send an email message to us at Helpdesk@provelocity.com and in the body of such request you must state: your previous e-mail address, your new e-mail address . In addition, you must notify DocuSign, Inc to arrange for your new email address to be reflected in your DocuSign account by following the process for changing e-mail in DocuSign. To request paper or electronic copies from Pitkin County To request delivery from us of paper or electronic copies of the notices and disclosures previously provided by us to you electronically, you should request those documents from Pitkin County under the Colorado Open Records Act by contacting the Pitkin County custodian who sent you the document for signature.
