Rio Grande Park Stormwater Improvements
City Project No. 2011 -046
Introduction
The City of Aspen Engineering Department is accepting sealed proposals for professional civil
engineering services for stormwater improvements at Rio Grande Park in central Aspen.
Consulting services shall include civil engineering and stormwater infrastructure design. The
City of Aspen Parks and Recreation Planning Staff will provide landscape architectural services,
and City of Aspen Engineering Department Staff will provide public meeting(s) facilitation for
the project.
The primary goals of the project are to:
• Improve and integrate stormwater management facilities into the existing Rio Grande
Park infrastructure that are both functional and aesthetic;
• Improve stormwater runoff discharge quality from the park into the Roaring Fork River;
• Improve flood control capacities of the park.
1)Rio Grande Park (the park) is the City's premiere central public green space with active and
passive park uses. The park is also a natural low point between the Roaring Fork River and two
of three major drainage basins that drain stormwater from the central core of Aspen and Aspen
Mountain, including approximately 25% of the City's impervious area. The Roaring Fork River
is a Gold Medal trout stream upstream and downstream of city limits. The City is working
diligently and innovatively to incorporate stormwater management techniques into City parks to
reduce the impact of the City's stormwater runoff on the river within the City limits. The park
has been subject to a great level of park master planning and stormwater management design
effort in years past. This proposed scope of work for civil engineering services will complement
the park design and stormwater management design work that has been completed to date.
The proposed scope of work will be divided into two phases. The two phases of work will
correlate with planned construction scheduled for September 2011 and May- August 2012.
Background
The City of Aspen Parks Department has developed a park master plan that includes a series of
stormwater wetland/water quality ponds to improve stormwater flows through Rio Grande Park.
The City initiated construction of a portion of the planned stormwater wetland/water quality
ponds with in -house design and construction resources starting in March 2011 in association
with redevelopment of the park's public outdoor theatre tent venue known as Theatre Aspen.
Site construction activities will cease by mid June 2011 and begin again in early September 2011
to maintain an uninterrupted theatre performance season in the park. Stormwater wetland/water
U
quality pond construction work bein66rfg completed in 2011 is considered "Phase 1" of the
stormwater improvements at Rio Grande Park and will be approximately 40% complete by mid
June. "Phase 2" of stormwater improvements at the park will be built in 2012 and will include
additional stormwater wetlands /water quality ponds to complete the entire stormwater
management system envisioned for the park.
Scope of Work
All work and design for this project shall be done in coordination with existing designs provided
by the City of Aspen Parks Department and in accordance with the stormwater management
guidelines provided in the City of Aspen Urban Runoff Management Plan, unless otherwise
agreed upon by City staff. These supplemental documents are titled Supplements and can be
obtained from the City's Purchasing Office or downloaded at
http: / /aspenpitkin. com/Departments /Purchasing- City- of- Aspen/Open -B ids -RFPs.
Phase 1, Task 1. Evaluation and Analysis of Existing Conditions and Goals for Project
There are two major drainage areas that contribute (or can contribute) to the park. The
eastern drainage area enters the park via pipe outfall after first flowing through an
underground baffled vault which removes litter, debris, oil, and large sediment. The
discharge from the vault enters the park in the area of Phase 1. The current design for
improvements in Phase 1 routes this flow through a forebay (Pond 1), then into Pond 2 and
Pond 3. These ponds are fed by a constant base flow. There is very little capacity for water
quality storage volume from a storm event above the constant water surface elevation. The
city is seeking assistance in maximizing water quality improvements and storage capacity in
these ponds, though the grades as planned cannot change. We anticipate controls needed in
orifices or weirs and are interested in infiltration techniques that can be used in conjunction
with the wetlands and ponds. A map (Supplement 1) and conceptual plan (Supplement 2) is
included with this RFP. Phase 1 discharges into Phase 2, and therefore, design for the two
phases will need to be coordinated.
The consulting engineer shall:
• Review existing conditions, previous engineering analyses, and park master plan
drawings to date;
• Review hydrologic and hydraulic conditions of the drainage areas contributing to the
park;
• Become familiar with stormwater infrastructure and wetlands that have been
constructed to date and establish an understanding of the overall stormwater
wetland/water quality improvements planned for Rio Grande Park;
• Evaluate stormwater wetland/water quality management concepts together with site
and park use constraints in order to provide additional civil engineering guidance for
stormwater management and water quality improvements within the park; and
In
• Meet with City staff (meeting will include a site visit) to discuss the analyses and
evaluate desired outcomes for the project.
The City will provide the Consultant with a stormwater master plan document that identifies
drainage basin areas, land use and drainage connections; aerial photograph (hard copy); the
City's Urban Runoff Management Plan; park geotechnical report; topographic survey of the
project area; and park master plan drawings.
Deliverables:
• Summaries of discussions during meeting(s) and/or phone calls. (email format);
• Report describing findings, goals, and conceptual plan. The report shall be
submitted as draft form for review by City staff and then in a final form,
incorporating comments from City staff review of draft. (.pdf format)
Phase 1, Task 2. Design Calculations and Construction Documents
Based on the outcomes of Task 1, the consulting engineer will complete a civil infrastructure
design, complementing the park master plan and grading design completed to date, for Phase
1 construction anticipated to occur in September 2011.
Civil infrastructure design will require determination and design of the following:
• The size of the storm event that can be conveyed to the Rio Grande Park, including
base flow;
• Feasibility of passing the minor and major events and advantages for bypassing these
events;
• Any additional water quality treatment facilities (if necessary and feasible);
• Water quality capture volume receiving treatment and estimated percentage of
pollutant removal;
• Water surface elevation, hydrology, and hydraulics for the water quality, minor, and
major event; and
• Location, sizing, and design for any infrastructure needed in completion of Phase 1
construction. Infrastructure may include but is not limited to piping, outfalls, outlet
structures (bioengineering solutions), orifices, weirs, spillways and transitions.
Please note that there is an existing base flow through the park.
Deliverables:
• Report explaining the drainage design for Phase 1 construction area with support
calculations. The report shall be submitted as draft form for review by City staff and
then in a final form, incorporating comments from City staff review of draft. (.pdf
format)
• Construction design plans and details of civil infrastructure placement within the
Phase 1 construction limits at 60 %, 90 %, and 100% design. Each submittal shall
address comments from previous reviews. (AutoCAD release 2004 or later version
on CD ROM and 24 "x36" plan sheets)
11
• Provision of specific design parameters for bioengineered civil infrastructure
Phase 2, Task 1. Phase 2 Civil Infrastructure Design
The second drainage area that has potential to enter Rio Grande Park currently flows through
the Mill Street stormwater pipe to the Roaring Fork River. The city anticipates diverting a
portion of this flow into the westem portion of Rio Grande Park — Phase 2 (refer to
Supplement 1). The city envisions an underground pre- treatment vault/system, pumping
from this system to the surface of the park, directing flow through surface water quality
treatment (such as bioretention areas or channel wetlands), then into wetlands or water
quality ponds (combining at this point with flow from Phase 1), and then discharging into the
Roaring Fork River. This is a conceptual idea and the City is seeking professional services to
change, complement, and/or further develop this plan.
The consulting engineer will work closely with City of Aspen Parks Department and
Engineering Department staff to fully develop the planned Phase 2 scope of stormwater
improvements. Work will include at least two (2) charette style meetings with city staff.
Utilizing the design vocabulary established in the park master plan and Phase 1 construction,
the consulting engineer will develop a conceptual civil design for Phase 2. This conceptual
design should include:
• The size of the storm event that can be conveyed to the Rio Grande Park, including
base flow;
• Feasibility of passing the minor and major events and advantages for bypassing these
events;

• Water quality treatment methods, volume, and pollutant removal capabilities
• Location and estimated sizing of water quality and quantity facilities
• Water surface elevation, hydrology, and hydraulics for the water quality, minor, and
major event; and
• Cost estimates for the conceptual design.
After agreement of the conceptual design, staff and consultants will present and discuss the
conceptual design in two (2) public meetings and one (1) City Council meeting coordinated
by City staff. The consulting engineer will coordinate with City staff for preparation of
presentation materials and be responsible for provision of some presentation drawings. The
consulting engineer will be required to analyze input from the public and City Council
meetings and make recommendations on project direction. The consulting engineer should
