TASK 900 – SOLAR PACKAGE, BACKUP POWER, AND BESS DESIGN
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this task is to develop a rooftop photovoltaic (PV) solar package and Battery Energy
Storage System (BESS), including engineering design package and bid documents for Pitkin County’s
proposed Solid Waste Center to a level of detail typical for competitive bidding.
PROJECT TEAM ACTIVITIES
HDR will provide engineering services to support the design of rooftop PV solar on new buildings
at the SWC. The scope will integrate with the existing 30% design provided to Pitkin County on
March 28, 2025.
The following buildings are included:
o Scalehouse
o Motherlode Mercantile
o Household Hazardous Waste Facility (HHW)
o Recycling Campus
The Washbay structure design will not include PV design.
A BESS has been requested by Pitkin County as a source of backup power for the Scalehouse
and will be integrated into the PV system. The BESS will be an outdoor-rated skid solution and
located a sufficient distance away from the SWC buildings to minimize impacts to the fire and life
safety considerations detailed in the 30% design. The BESS will be based on lithium-ion
chemistry. Between 60% and 90% design, at the request of Pitkin County, a design shift occurred
to incorporate backup power to the network and associated cooling systems at the Motherlode
Mercantile, as well as a Code-required shift to include backup power to mechanical ventilation
systems at the HHW. HDR developed an evaluation of backup power distribution options for the
purpose of assisting Pitkin County in determining BESS sizing and backup power operations.
This resulted in a load-shedding approach to the distribution system that was incorporated into
the design. The BESS is designed to provide backup power for approximately 12 hours.
PV solar is intended to be installed at each building. The PV system at the Scalehouse will be
connected behind the meter and participate in net metering, offsetting utility consumption. Due to
Holy Cross Energy (HCE) requirements, the PV systems at the other buildings will be connected
in front of the meter, and generated energy will be credited at the established tariff rate. During an
outage, all PV will drop offline except for the behind-the-meter system at the Scalehouse, and the
BESS will provide immediate backup power to the Scalehouse and the Code-required ventilation
at the HHW. PV will recharge when available.
HDR will design the buildings to be capable of supporting the additional load of the PV system.
The building warranty will include consideration for the PV system as required by the bid
documents. The buildings will be designed for standing-seam metal roofs.
Attachment A
hdrinc.com
HDR will provide performance-based drawings and specifications to support the design and
construction of the PV network and BESS. The drawings will include sufficient detail to convey
design intent and scope. The specifications will provide system material and performance
requirements. HDR assumes the final system design will be provided by the contractor under
delegated design.
o Drawings – Drawings will include array layouts, one-line diagrams up to the point of
interconnection, wiring and conduit details, panel support details, safety labels, and
communication details. The drawings are diagrammatic and intended to convey design
intent and coordinate interferences and allowances with the building design. The BESS
location will be established and shown on the Civil Plans.
o Technical Specifications – HDR will provide a performance-based specification outlining
material requirements as well as system performance requirements for the PV network
and BESS.
Calculations – HDR will use PVsyst software to develop an energy model for each of the
proposed systems. The models will be based on the system designs, local meteorological
conditions (NSRDB TGY), and typical input/loss parameters. The models will provide the
estimated energy generation over the course of the first year of operation.
MEETINGS
One (1) meeting to discuss design criteria for the PV system with Pitkin County.
One (1) meeting with representative from Holy Cross Energy to discuss the net metering
requirements and credits available to Pitkin County.
DELIVERABLES
Design Drawings (in accordance with full SWC design schedule, starting at 60%).
Technical Specifications.
Energy Analysis Summary with PVsyst Reports and 8760 files.
CLARIFICATIONS
Final system design, including PE-sealed drawings and calculations, will be provided by the design-
build contractor.
PV Solar scope for this task includes budget for 12 hours of permitting and building code support,
30 hours for Construction Administration and RFI support.
Utility coordination/outreach is excluded. HDR will provide technical inputs to support
interconnection applications/discussions.
The design will provide control specifications, including required operational modes and system
criteria. The ultimate design and implementation of the control scheme will be provided by the
contractor and/or equipment supplier.
Design will provide a data connection to a location identified by Pitkin County. Modification to
existing SCADA/Telecom equipment is excluded.
Attachment A

Energy production estimate is not intended to be a Pro Forma level estimate of production but
rather a tool to compare layout and design scenarios and for Pitkin County information.
Buildings will have thirty-five (35) percent total roof space constructed for solar gain as stated in
the Solar Roof-Readiness Standard within Chapter 7 – Development Standards of the Pitkin
County Land Use Code.
HDR has assumed one round of review and comment incorporation at each design milestone.
TASK 1000 – SEPARATE MASS GRADING PACKAGE
OBJECTIVE
At the request of Pitkin County, HDR developed a mass grading package (MGP) to support expediting the
SWC construction schedule. By advancing this portion of the design with the 30% Design Documents
deliverable, Pitkin County was able to bid and begin site grading work earlier than the balance of the
project. Final grading, utilities, and remaining site development will be delivered under the subsequent full
design package.
PROJECT TEAM ACTIVITIES
Developed a mass grading design to prepare the site for future construction, provide proper
drainage, and stability.
Prepared detailed grading plan options that included cut/fill calculations, rough grading for future
building pads, erosion control details, and slope ratios.
Incorporated soil testing and analysis from the previously scoped geotechnical study to inform
grading techniques and soil stabilization measures.
Produced earthwork and front-end specifications sufficient for competitive bidding.
Developed MGP deliverables with the intent of compatibility and ease of integration into the final
design package.
Integrated mass grading design with ongoing design activities for other projects (performed by
others) on the Pitkin County SWC Site including leachate pond design, leachate tank removal,
storm water pond design, and overall site stormwater analysis.
Revised 30% DDs (MGP draft) that included updated access road grading and steep-slope
analysis.
Incorporated construction phasing such as temporary road to existing facilities and reflecting
mass grading activities as complete in final construction documents.
MEETINGS
Three (3) virtual meetings to discuss the mass grading design and bid package with up to four (4)
project team members.
DELIVERABLES
Draft and Final bid package for the MGP.
Attachment A
hdrinc.com
CLARIFICATIONS
The MGP was prepared at Pitkin County’s request to accelerate the overall schedule; this scope
represents additional effort that would not otherwise have been required. While the specifications
and design elements from the MGP will be carried forward into the final package, the balance of
the site and utility design will still require full development and is not reduced in scope by the
early release of the MGP.
The County provided electronic files of any required terms and conditions or front-end documents
to incorporate into construction contract documents.
There is inherent risk in releasing the MGP ahead of the full design. Subsequent design
progression may necessitate adjustments to the mass grading work. Such revisions, if required,
may result in additional design effort or changes to construction sequencing and costs.
Permitting support and coordination with local and state regulators to authorize the civil grading
construction of the MGP is being handled by others.
The Project Team’s standard specifications will be utilized, and front-end documents will be
developed using modified Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee (EJCDC) documents.
Design drawings were prepared using AutoCAD Civil 3D.
The County will be responsible for processing any permit fees required.
Fee assumes that the MGP will be the first of two (2) overall bid packages that will be developed
for the project.
TASK 1100 – ICT/ESS/AV DESIGN
OBJECTIVE
At the request of Pitkin County, HDR provided Information Communication Technology (ICT), Electronic
Security Services (ESS), and Audio Visual (AV) design services for the SWC. This represents an
expansion of HDR’s typical scope of work. HDR’s typical role for these services is limited to providing
pathway and conduit rough-in, allowing owners to customize and install ICT/ESS/AV systems directly. In
this case, Pitkin County requested HDR to complete full engineering design documents and bid-ready
specifications to provide consistency, facilitate competitive bidding, and reduce coordination risks during
construction.
PROJECT TEAM ACTIVITIES
Developed ICT/ESS/AV design scope for the following facilities: Scalehouse, Motherlode
Mercantile, Household Hazardous Waste, and Recycling Campus.
Integrated ICT/ESS/AV design with the 30% submittal previously provided to Pitkin County
(March 28, 2025).
Incorporated design revisions stemming from client-directed changes at the 90% milestone,
requiring rework to align with updated County requirements.

TASK 1200 – SUPPLEMENTAL DESIGN MODIFICATIONS
OBJECTIVE
As part of two meetings that occurred prior to the 30% deliverable, modifications to the original scope
were initiated by Pitkin County. It was recognized and authorized at the time that this additional effort
should be made and would be appropriately compensated as part of a future change order.
PROJECT TEAM ACTIVITIES
As directed in the meeting on February 6th, 2025, HDR incorporated the following design
revisions:
o Relocation of buildings and regrading to incorporate a Z-wall
o Adding grade separation to the Recycling Campus
o Adjusting the developable area to fit within the property limits
o Adding return-access to the entrance scales
Due to the close proximity of structures at this point in the design, modification to the footprint or
elevation impacted grading across a large portion of the design area. These efforts also involved
repeating vehicle movement modeling, additional alignments of the entrance road, revising the
stormwater management approach, and overall grading modifications.
Within addendum #1 of the original RFP communication, Pitkin County noted that the proposal
should assume that all buildings will be assumed to be Pre-engineered Metal Buildings (PEMB).
As part of the design process, mass timber was selected as the preferred approach for both the
Scalehouse as well as the Motherlode Mercantile to improve the overall aesthetic features of the
project. This feature required additional design hours for structural modeling and evaluation.
Mass timber structures require more detailed engineering (as opposed to standardized
Attachment A
hdrinc.com
manufacturer systems with PEMB), including additional modeling, detailing, and tighter
coordination with other disciplines.
The original scope for the Washbay was based on a simple structural assessment to support
adding a roof over the existing truck wash pad. However, early design investigations revealed
significant complications that were not anticipated at the time of proposal. The Washbay is
located immediately adjacent to the existing maintenance facility, and the proximity of that
facility’s foundations required more detailed evaluation than a standard roof-over assessment
would entail.
To avoid demolition of the existing concrete pad and to prevent conflicts with the maintenance
facility footings, HDR evaluated multiple structural and geotechnical scenarios. This included
several modeling iterations to assess load paths, bearing capacity, differential settlement risks,
and feasible column locations within the highly constrained site. Each scenario required
coordination with architectural and cost estimating teams to evaluate constructability and budget
impacts. Additionally, several buried utilities conflicted with potential column locations and
foundations. Their depth, condition, and alignment required added investigation and coordination
with civil, structural, and utility disciplines. The effort to navigate these constraints necessitated
further analysis beyond what was originally envisioned.
MEETINGS
No additional meetings were required. Coordination with Pitkin County was handled within
previously established recurring meetings.
DELIVERABLES
No separate deliverables were required. These modifications were incorporated into the 30%
deliverable that was submitted at the end of March 2025.
TASK 1300 COMPRESSOR/BALER SCOPE ADDITION
OBJECTIVE
At the request of Pitkin County, HDR provided compressed air design services for the HHW. These
services will support the existing baler and include compressed air reels throughout the facility to
accommodate daily tool usage.
PROJECT TEAM ACTIVITIES
Performed compressor sizing calculations to determine the appropriate compressor needed to
support:
o An existing cardboard/plastic baler that will be relocated within the new HHW.
o Three to four compressed air reels distributed throughout the facility to supply air for tools
used in daily operations.
Determined an appropriate location for the compressor within the HHW and designed the
compressed air piping layout to serve both the baler, at the location specified by Pitkin County,
and the distributed compressed air reels.
MEETINGS AND CORRESPONDENCE
Attachment A
hdrinc.com
No additional meetings were required. Coordination with Pitkin County was completed within
existing project meetings.
DELIVERABLES
The 100% design package will include the compressor equipment layout, compressed air piping
layout, associated details, and specifications.
CLARIFICATIONS
During a meeting with Pitkin County on July 17th, 2025, it was stated that the existing compressor
located at the existing Maintenance Facility may be sufficient to support the HHW facility. HDR
conducted compressor sizing calculations to verify whether this compressor can meet HHW’s
requirements before finalizing compressor selection. The results were submitted to Pitkin County
for compressor selection review and approval.
As noted in the same meeting, Pitkin County confirmed that the existing baler is the only
equipment within the HHW facility requiring compressed air. Therefore, compressor sizing
calculation and piping design were based solely on the baler and the compressed air reels with
no additional equipment considered.
TASK 1400 FLS SCOPE MODIFICATIONS
OBJECTIVE
At the request of Pitkin County, HDR provided design services for the implementation of a Cutoff Room at
the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) facility. This modification will isolate bulk flammable liquid and
aerosol storage, thereby minimizing overall fire protection requirements, reducing fire tank sizing, and
simplifying long-term operations.
HDR’s original design scope assumed an H-3 occupancy classification and compliance with prescriptive
code criteria adopted by Pitkin County. The contract established that departures from prescriptive criteria,
including waivers, equivalencies, or performance-based alternatives, would require additional effort and a
modification to scope and fee. During design development, the nature, quantity, and segregation of
hazardous materials required reclassification of the HHW to H-2 occupancy. This higher-hazard
classification triggered more robust fire protection, explosion control, and life safety measures than
originally anticipated. This includes code-driven requirements for explosion control, hazardous ventilation
and associated controls, secondary containment, and the trickle-down impacts to other design disciplines
such as mechanical, electrical, structural, fire alarm, and architectural.
Throughout the design effort, HDR was required to undertake additional work to address the divergence
between the prescriptive NFPA code path and the non-prescriptive, insurance-driven criteria required by
Factory Mutual (FM). Unlike a typical prescriptive or turnkey FLS design for HHW facilities, where system
requirements are well established, FM criteria rely on performance-based interpretations and project-
specific risk evaluation, requiring additional technical analysis and documentation.
To support decision-making by Pitkin County, HDR developed several detailed technical memoranda,
validated design assumptions, and evaluated multiple compliance strategies under both NFPA and FM
frameworks.
A further complicating factor was the known limitation of the available water supply, which required HDR
to balance the stringent FM and H-2-type separation and protection thresholds against realistic hydraulic
performance and achievable system configurations. Identifying a viable solution under these constraints
Attachment A
hdrinc.com
necessitated additional modeling, sensitivity checks, and tank size optimization to provide cost savings to
Pitkin County.
The resulting incorporation of the Cutoff Room and reduced tank sizing represents the County’s selected
approach after HDR’s evaluation of numerous alternatives. This solution was only reached following non-
prescriptive design effort to interpret insurance requirements, assess their impact on facility layout and
water demand, and develop a practical, defensible path forward.
PROJECT TEAM ACTIVITIES
Prepared technical memoranda analyzing applicable fire code and FM Global insurance
requirements for the HHW. This included evaluating the feasibility and benefits of adding a Cutoff
Room.
Upon Pitkin County’s approval, advanced the HHW design to integrate the Cutoff Room, requiring
modifications across multiple disciplines:
o Mechanical: Additional mechanical design effort was required to reassess and resize the
hazardous exhaust systems once the decision was made to isolate vapors within the Cutoff
Room. This included revising airflow and capture calculations, updating equipment
selections, and modifying duct routing to align with the non-prescriptive FM requirements.
HDR also conducted additional analysis to ensure proper separation between conditioned
spaces, maintain pressure differentials, and prevent potential cross-contamination of vapors
to adjacent areas. These revisions necessitated multiple coordination cycles with
architectural, electrical, and structural disciplines to maintain system compatibility.
o Electrical: To comply with the more stringent criteria, HDR performed additional electrical
analysis to limit hazardous-classified areas exclusively to the Cutoff Room. This required re-
evaluation of equipment placement, boundary definitions, and classification mapping. The
work reduced the extent of required rated fixtures, conduits, and devices elsewhere in the
facility, but increased the design effort associated with developing a clear and defensible
classification strategy.
o Structural: The structural team was required to confine and validate explosion venting
requirements specifically for the Cutoff Room, which necessitated additional coordination with
FM guidelines and specialized venting criteria. This effort included evaluating wall and roof
assembly performance, developing detailing for venting pathways, and assessing structural
implications to ensure controlled pressure relief. Additional design and coordination were
required for PEMB foundation adjustments, interface conditions at the Cutoff Room
enclosure, and required modifications to containment pits or supporting slabs that resulted
from the revised fire protection strategy.
o Emergency Power: HDR performed additional analysis and design to integrate Cutoff Room
ventilation into the facility’s emergency power system. Because the County’s selected
approach requires maintaining ventilation for a minimum of two hours under Level 1 standby
requirements, the electrical team evaluated generator loading, distribution impacts, transfer
switching, and system redundancy considerations. These analyses were performed in
conjunction with the BESS emergency power loads, necessitating additional coordination to
balance both systems within the available standby capacity and operational constraints.
Documented modifications in alignment with the H-2 classification requirements within the Basis
of Design.
Attachment A

MEETINGS AND CORRESPONDENCE
No additional meetings were required. Coordination with Pitkin County was completed within
existing project meetings.
DELIVERABLES
The 90% design package will include incorporation of the design modification based on inputs
from Pitkin County on August 7, 2025, and the reclassification to H-2 occupancy. The 90% design
for the HHW lagged the 90% package for the rest of the facility due to the timing of this
determination. The 100% design will be integrated as a full design package.
CLARIFICATIONS
During a meeting with Pitkin County on August 7, 2025, Pitkin County authorized HDR to proceed
with the design of the HHW as outlined in the technical memoranda. The design has not been
reviewed by the FM Global insurance representative and final approval from the local AHJ has
not been received.

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

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure created on: 3/20/2020 3:28:13 PM
Parties agreed to: Tyler Carvell, Brian Pettet, Melissa Green, Jade Bath
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.

address .
