PITKIN COUNTY
SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT
JUSTIFICATION REQUEST TO: Jon Peacock, County Manager
DATE: July 1, 2022 FROM: Gary Tennenbaum, Open Space and Trails Director Proposed Contractor: Christopher Monz, PhD, Utah State University - Recreation Ecology Lab
Product/Service: Trailhead Visitor Reasearch and Data Collection Estimate expenditure for the above Product/Service: $ 52,434.00
This form is required, and is to aid you, in documenting your Sole Source request. Complete all portions of this form. This purchase is clearly and legitimately limited to a Single or Sole Source. (Examples: original
manufacturer, no regional distributor, standardization etc): Explain:
Dr. Chris Monz presented at the Open Space and Trails Board Retreat focusing on recreation ecology as it
applies to multi-jurisdictional recreation management. The next step to implementing the retreat summary
is to conduct user surveys during the summer and fall of this year and compile existing user data. OST
with finaincial assistance from the City of Aspen will need to contract with Chris Monz and Utah State
University to perform the user surveys and use the Streetlight data spoken about at the retreat as a pilot
project to gather user feedback on trail experience and track use dynamics.
The Recreation Ecology Lab will conduct a pilot project that illustrates the utility of visitor research and
data collection at several trailhead locations of interest in Pitkin County. The focus will be on collecting
visitor experience information in the form of a trailhead intercept questionnaire and (as feasible) visitor
GPS tracking data. An examination of mobile device data acquisition and analysis for select locations will
also be conducted. Findings from this work will help Pitkin County Open Space and Trails, their partners,
and the project team understand visitor characteristics, motivations, and perceptions. This information is
often very desirable for visitor management, planning for recreation use and understanding future data
collection needs.

PITKIN COUNTY CONTRACT FOR PROVISION OF SERVICES
THIS CONTRACT, made July 1, 2022 by and between the Board of County Commissioners of
Pitkin County, Colorado, 530 E. Main St., Suite #302, Aspen, CO 81611, (hereinafter called the
“County”) and Dr. Chris Monz, PhD, The Recreation Ecology Lab, Utah State University,5215
Old Main Hill, Logan, UT 84322 (hereinafter called the “Contractor”) to perform the following
work: Trailhead Visitor Research and Data Collection (“Project”).
I. Term of Contract: The term of this Contract is from July 1, 2022 to July 31, 2023. At
the expiration of the initial term, the contract may be extended for an additional term
of one (1) year by the express written consent of both parties.
II. Contractor’s Obligations. Contractor’s project goals, obligations and deliverables are
summarized below with additional details and with reference to the Contractor Scope
of Work incorporated herein and attached hereto (“Attachment A”):
Project Goal: The Recreation Ecology Lab will conduct a pilot project that will illustrate the utility of
visitor research and data collection at several trailhead locations of interest in Pitkin County. The focus will be on collecting visitor experience information in the form of a trailhead intercept questionnaire and (as feasible) visitor GPS tracking data. An examination of mobile device data acquisition and analysis for select locations will also be conducted. Findings from this work will help Pitkin County Open Space and Trails, their partners, and the project team understand visitor characteristics, motivations, and perceptions. This information is often very desirable for visitor management, planning for recreation use and understanding future data collection needs.
Sampling Design: A standard visitor intercept sampling design will be employed at four or five selected locations. Visitors will be greeted upon arrival and asked to voluntarily participate in the study where they will be asked to carry a GPS unit during their visit and complete a 10–12-minute self-administered
questionnaire. Sampling will be stratified by weekend and weekdays, morning, afternoon, and early evening. Approximately 10-12 days of sampling will be conducted in total and will involve three to four graduate students/ technicians from Utah State University. Mobile device analysis will be conducted as
data becomes available, which typically is 3-4 months after the dates of interest. Measurement Variables: A well tested survey instrument will be employed that is based on the NPS
Pool of Known Questions and has been used by the Recreation Ecology Lab in several other study locations. Visitors will be asked both descriptive and evaluative questions including demographic information, motivations, and perceptions of crowding and resource conditions (see conceptual diagram
for The GPS track will provide spatially detailed information on the extent and duration of their visit. Mobile device data will be accessed via a subscription to Streetlight InSight, an analysis platform that has been used effectively in parks and open space locations to understand visitor use and characteristics. The protocol and questionnaire will be provided to the sponsor upon request.
Contract # 241.22 Revision: 2018-06-13 btf
Budget Line Item # 11836361.531000

Visitor Burden and Harm: The questionnaire and sampling strategy will be reviewed by the USU
Institutional Review Board for compliance with human subject research guidelines. All USU Recreation Ecology Lab staff are certified in human subject research protocols and are well experienced at interacting with visitors to public lands. This proposed research is similar to many previous studies that
have been well received by the visiting public. Analysis and Deliverables: The Recreation Ecology Lab staff will conduct a full analysis of all data
collected in the Fall of 2022, and compile in the form of a PowerPoint presentation or draft report to Pitkin County OS by the end of calendar year 2022. Outcomes: Data analysis from this project will serve as a preliminary investigation into 1) the demographic and general social psychological characteristics of visitors; 2) the use levels and general spatial patterns of day use visitors; and 3) the ability to determine use levels and patterns via the use of mobile device data. All data will be collected at a limited number of trail head locations as a proof-of concept that can be scaled to a broader suite of locations in future years. Current understanding of visitor
characteristics, motivations and evaluation perspectives on resource and social conditions is limited in the study area, and this work will improve this knowledge and develop protocols for future monitoring essential for adaptive management processes. In addition, understanding the temporal spatial
extent of visitor use is an important precursor to examining potential ecological disturbance issues, including visitors’ interaction with critical wildlife habitat areas.

Scope of Work for Pitkin County Open Space Project
Christopher Monz, PhD
Utah State University-Department of Environment and Society-Recreation Ecology Lab
April 27, 2022
Project Goal: The Recreation Ecology Lab will conduct a pilot project that will illustrate the utility of
visitor research and data collection at several trailhead locations of interest in Pitkin County. The focus
will be on collecting visitor experience information in the form of a trailhead intercept questionnaire and
(as feasible) visitor GPS tracking data. An examination of mobile device data acquisition and analysis for
select locations will also be conducted. Findings from this work will help Pitkin County Open Space and
Trails, their partners, and the project team understand visitor characteristics, motivations, and
perceptions. This information is often very desirable for visitor management, planning for recreation use
and understanding future data collection needs.
Sampling Design: A standard visitor intercept sampling design will be employed at four or five selected
locations. Visitors will be greeted upon arrival and asked to voluntarily participate in the study where
they will be asked to carry a GPS unit during their visit and complete a 10–12-minute self-administered
questionnaire. Sampling will be stratified by weekend and weekdays, morning, afternoon, and early
evening. Approximately 10-12 days of sampling will be conducted in total and will involve three to four
graduate students/ technicians from Utah State University. Mobile device analysis will be conducted as
data becomes available, which typically is 3-4 months after the dates of interest.
Measurement Variables: A well tested survey instrument will be employed that is based on the NPS
Pool of Known Questions and has been used by the Recreation Ecology Lab in several other study
locations. Visitors will be asked both descriptive and evaluative questions including demographic
information, motivations, and perceptions of crowding and resource conditions (see conceptual diagram
for The GPS track will provide spatially detailed information on the extent and duration of their visit.
Mobile device data will be accessed via a subscription to Streetlight InSight, an analysis platform that
has been used effectively in parks and open space locations to understand visitor use and
characteristics. The protocol and questionnaire will be provided to the sponsor upon request.
Visitor Burden and Harm: The questionnaire and sampling strategy will be reviewed by the USU
Institutional Review Board for compliance with human subject research guidelines. All USU Recreation
Ecology Lab staff are certified in human subject research protocols and are well experienced at
interacting with visitors to public lands. This proposed research is similar to many previous studies that
have been well received by the visiting public.
Analysis and Deliverables: The Recreation Ecology Lab staff will conduct a full analysis of all data
collected in the Fall of 2022, and compile in the form of a PowerPoint presentation or draft report to
Pitkin County OS by the end of calendar year 2022.
Outcomes: Data analysis from this project will serve as a preliminary investigation into 1) the
demographic and general social psychological characteristics of visitors; 2) the use levels and general
spatial patterns of day use visitors; and 3) the ability to determine use levels and patterns via the use of
mobile device data. All data will be collected at a limited number of trail head locations as a proof-of-
concept that can be scaled to a broader suite of locations in future years. Current understanding of
visitor characteristics, motivations and evaluation perspectives on resource and social conditions is
Attachment A
limited in the study area, and this work will improve this knowledge and develop protocols for future
monitoring essential for adaptive management processes. In addition, understanding the temporal-
spatial extent of visitor use is an important precursor to examining potential ecological disturbance
issues, including visitors’ interaction with critical wildlife habitat areas.

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, Pitkin County (we, us or Pitkin County) may be required by law to provide
you with certain written notices or disclosures. 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

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure created on: 3/20/2020 3:28:13 PM
Parties agreed to: Gary Tennenbaum, Gary Tennenbaum, Phylis Mattice, Bryson Hillyard, Phylis Mattice, Kim Arensdorf, Jessie Young
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:

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

previously provided by us to you electronically, you should request those documents from Pitkin
