MEMORANDUM

THROUGH:Phillip Supino, Community Development Director
MEMO DATE:February 28, 2022
MEETING DATE:March 1, 2022
RE:Resolution No.32, Series of 2022 – Consent Item
Professional Services Contract with Design Workshop, Inc.
as the primary consultant support for the response to
to Ordinance 27
REQUEST OF COUNCIL: Staff is requesting Council approval of Resolution No. 32,
Series of 2022, granting approval of a contract with Design Workshop, Inc. for
professional services related to the City’s response to Ordinance 27, Series of 2021.
Design Workshop will be the lead consultant support for staff’s work during the
moratorium.
SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND: Design Workshop (DW) was selected by staff to be
the lead consultant in supporting the response to the moratorium. Focused on the
residential development issues identified in Ordinance 27, DW will provide development
analysis, case studies, code review, project management support, and importantly, with
sub-contractor City-Explained, Inc., leadership of our public outreach efforts. The full
scope of work is included as an exhibit to Resolution No. 32.
The Design Workshop and City-Explained team was selected based on their track records
of outstanding work in the planning and public engagement spheres, their knowledge of
and experience with the Aspen development context, and their capacity to work under the
constraints imposed by the moratorium timeline. This is a sole-source contract.
DISCUSSION:Due to the timing of the initiation of the moratorium and the continued
scoping discussions with Council, both Design Workshop and City-Explained started work
in January. While a full project cost for the support of these consultants is projected at
$358,675, smaller contracts have been awarded to DW for work completed to date.
These previous contracts total $69,900. These contracts have been approved by the City
Manager and Community Development Director following the procurement authority
provided by Ordinance 27 and City of Aspen’s general procurement procedures. The
contract considered by Resolution No. 32 is for the balance of the total work (total
less the value of these previous contracts): $288,775.

smaller contracts for work completed to date. The total value of the contracts for
professional support from Design Workshop and City-Explained (as sub-contractor) is

Development’s operating budget. A Spring Supplemental request will be made for all
costs related to the response to Ordinance 27.

Agreement Professional Services Page 11
Meeting coordination and additional support (to be billed hourly with a budget of up to
$7,500)
Task 1.3 – City Council Informational Memos and Work Sessions
Throughout the project, it will be important to update City Council on progress and gain their input
on progress and ideas for code updates. The scope anticipates a mix of written council updates and
in-person work sessions.
We also anticipate that two meetings will be held in January, facilitated by city staff. The DW / CEI
team could support these as an additional service or as part of the existing Design Workshop on-call
services contract. At these meetings, the following topics should be reviewed in order to ensure the
project is initiated with clear goals and understanding:
Council to define the project statement
Council to identify project goals / outcomes
Council to identify what information may be needed to assist in their decision making
Staff to outline realistic timeline for completion of work
Staff to outline general anticipated scope of work
Deliverables:
Written Council Updates (4)
Council Work Session Updates (2)
Not included in scope: January meetings with City Council
Task 1.4 – P&Z Informational Memos and Work Sessions
Keeping the Planning and Zoning Commission updated throughout the process is also important. As
with Council, a mix of written updates and in-person work sessions are included in the scope.
Deliverables:
Written P&Z Updates (2)
P&Z Work Session Updates (2)
Task 1.5 – Case Study Review
In order to provide background information about potential code changes, the Design Workshop
team will complete a case study review for various code topics. These are anticipated to include
Growth Management, Design Standards (i.e., mass, scale, grade, etc.) Residential Development
Pacing, Residential Allotments, Review Procedures, calculation and definition of demolition, and
Affordable Housing Zoning. This portion of the scope is anticipated to be completed as part of the
remaining on-call services contract between the City and Design Workshop.
Deliverables:
Review of up to five (5) case studies
Written summary for case study topics, anticipated to be no morethan 5 pages per topic.
Phase 2 – Community Engagement
Task 2.1: Public Engagement Plan
The Design Workshop / CEI team will develop a Public Engagement Plan that includes detailed
guidance on public outreach, social media, engagement tools and methods, and the preparation of a
stakeholder analysis matrix. As part of this, we will work with staff to categorize the groups and
16
Agreement Professional Services Page 12
individuals that will be identified as key stakeholders that should be engaged in the process.
Discussion of these stakeholders will begin with the Strategic Kickoff, which will identify the
optimum role for these groups within the project. Interactive software will be used to guide staff
through a stakeholder mapping exercise focusing on strategies around stakeholder management,
project team expectations for metrics and reporting, and touchpoint tracking.
Ultimately, we will work with staff to finalize the Public Engagement Plan document that includes
identification of the stakeholders, contact information, engagement timelines, key initiatives,
scheduled meeting dates and lead times, information distribution methods, and responsibilities of
City staff and the consultant team.
The public engagement will aim to drive interest in community for the project while communicating
that this process is an opportunity to influence positive change in how the city approaches future
residential development.
Deliverables:
Community Engagement Plan, draft and final formats provided in MS Word and PDF
formats
Stakeholder analysis matrix, provided in MS Excel format
Task 2.2: Aspen Community Voice Set Up
Given the local interest and pace of the project, we recommend setting up a page on Aspen
Community Voice early in the project. This should include information on the moratorium,
including who is affected and why. Initial tools should include the Document Library, Who’s
Listening, Q&A, Important Links, and Key Dates. In addition, we recommend the city record a
video describing the moratorium and the work that will be completed.
We understand that the city cannot provide consultants with access to the platform, so our work
would include creating text that the city would place on the website. We assume the city would
record all videos, but this could be supported by the DW / CEI team if desired as an additional
service.
Deliverables:
Initial text, including one (1) round of edits for Aspen Community Voice
Initial video script, including one (1) round of edits
Task 2.3: Stakeholder Interviews
A critical aspect of this work is understanding how key stakeholders who are experts in the
development process view the issues at hand. We recommend interviews with staff representatives
from Environmental Health, Building, Planning, Landfill, and Housing. This could be completed in
groups or as individual interviews. These interviews will also assist the team in understanding what
data is available.
Additionally, understanding how community organizations view the issue and potential solutions
will be an important foundational aspect for the project. This task will include a series of
conversations with community organizations and development representatives to understand their
unique perspectives.
17
Agreement Professional Services Page 13
The project team will work to set up a meeting schedule and RSVP system for stakeholder
interviews including a depository for recordings and notes. Additional meetings have been added to
accommodate virtual interview sessions and scheduling.
Deliverables:
Up to 15 Interviews – allocations to city and county staff stakeholders and community
organizations will be determined upon finalization of the public engagement plan.
Depository for interview recordings and meeting materials
Interview summaries
Task 2.4: Aspen Community Voice Updates
Throughout the project we anticipate monthly updates, at the least, will be needed to Aspen
Community Voice. This will include providing all written documents in the Document Library,
linking all Council and P&Z presentations, and updating the site with engagement opportunities.
Some specific engagement opportunities we recommend be included on the website include:
1.Forum Series – Scheduled and targeted questions for public discussion. These questions
will also be incorporated into advertising initiatives and coincide with the box ad
placements.
2.Survey on Development Impacts – Tiered survey with embedded logic that will allow
users to select as a member of the public or as a development community member. A
general set of questions will be asked to both groups with additional questions being
asked of those who identify themselves as a design / development professional.
Registration and demographics would be required.
To build additional visual content for ACV and to provide a breadth of mediums pushing out
information to the public, we propose two additional videos -a midway update and pre-adoption
update - covering project accomplishments and key findings leading into public hearings.
Additionally, at the end of the project, we recommend a project closeout that includes a final update
to Aspen Community Voice to describe the final code language and final outcomes. This is not
included in the base services but could be included as an additional service.
We assume the DW / CEI team would provide both text and a content schedule of when to update
the website and the city would be responsible for updating the website.
Deliverables:
Up to six (6) content updates to Aspen Community Voice, including one (1) round of edits
for each.
Content schedule and management of resources for staff to utilize for updates
Periodic reminders about updating the website (as needed)
Midway update video script, including one (1) round of edits
Pre-adoption update video script, including one (1) round of edits
Task 2.5: Advertising
Given the short nature of this project, it will be important to push information out to the community
regularly. We suggest a box ad that provides information on the project, project scope, timeline, and
18
Agreement Professional Services Page 14
outreach opportunities on a regular schedule. We also recommend an advertisement be completed
for the project closeout.
To begin the project, we suggest an updated press release with the refined scope of the project,
problem statement and goals, updated timeline, and announcement of project feedback
opportunities. Additional advertisements should be completed on the radio, newspapers, and
listservs. The city could participate in the Locals Show on Grassroots TV to describe the project and
direct people to Aspen Community Voice. Additionally, we recommend the city seek opportunities
to speak with the radio and newspaper media to describe the project and future steps as part of their
reporting.
We assume the city would be responsible for all ad placements and associated costs, as well as
communication with the media. The consultant team will provide a content schedule to assist city
staff in important project milestones to be shared –and recommends city staff consider scheduling
press junkets with the media at specific milestones to provide updates on the project.
We also recommend the city create a dedicated project phone and email. This can be updated with a
new voicemail / out of office message on a weekly basis to provide information to the community.
It also provides a way for community members to ask questions outside of the Aspen Community
Voice platform. This has not been included in the base scope but could be included as an additional
service.
Deliverables:
Text for newspaper advertisements, anticipated to be provided ten (10) times
Talking points for radio and newspaper stories, anticipated to be provided three (3) times
Content schedule outlining key communication milestones and preferred touchpoints with
local media outlets
Task 2.6: Focus Group Series (Funneling Focus Groups)
We recommend a series of focus groups to engage stakeholders throughout the process. Rather than
holding a series of repeating focus groups, we recommend organizing the focus groups to approach
the problem from a 30,000-foot view and then funneling down through different lenses and views
until a series of solutions are identified. This will require extensive stakeholder mapping, which will
be accomplished in the Public Engagement Plan and Strategic Kick Off Meeting. Additionally, very
concise meeting and information flow will need to be created. Focus Group meeting summaries will
be created and can be included on Aspen Community Voice.
These are assumed to be facilitated through a mix of in-person and online meetings, however we do
not recommend hybrid meetings for these. We anticipate the city would extend invitations to
participants. While the preference would be for in person meeting, the local incidence of COVID-19
may preclude this option. If virtual meetings are required, the meetings will be recorded and added
into the virtual meeting depository along with associated files and summaries. The project team will
work with staff to determine the most suitable meeting format, which will be detailed in the public
engagement plan.
Deliverables:
8 Focus Groups
Meeting Agendas and Materials
19
Agreement Professional Services Page 15
Invitation Materials
Zoom Meeting set up and facilitation
Focus Group Summaries
In-person facilitation as allowed by public-health regulations
Task 2.7: Block Parties (HOA and Neighborhood Outreach)
Given the breadth of this topic, it will be important to meet people where they are to ensure broad
participation. We suggest a “block party” approach to engagement, where the project team would
meet with individual HOAs and Neighborhoods. These could be in neighborhoods, on the mall, at
city hall, or at other locations around the community.
The scope anticipates that the consultant team and city staff would participate in these as facilitators.
Content for these would be created by the DW / CEI team. We anticipate these would occur
throughout the project to enable the team to return to some HOAs / Neighborhoods as the code
language is developed. We recommend a set of “drop in” meetings leading up to 1st reading and
adoption hearings to provide information to the public on data, analysis, case studies, and potential
code changes to provide clarifications. “Drop-in meetings” will be hosted in a more informal format
with the opportunity for community members to speak one-on-one with project team members and
staff.
These conversations would include a review of the project scope, problem statement, what changes
mean for neighborhoods and for development, and subsequent impacts for the community. While
these meetings would target specific neighborhoods and HOAs in Aspen they would be open to
others. Meeting summaries would be provided for inclusion on Aspen Community Voice.
While in person meetings are preferred, virtual meetings may be needed. We propose to utilize 3-D
virtual room software to create a ‘virtual block party’ that will provide for an interactive, creative,
and dynamic participant experience. The ‘virtual block party’ will allow for the project team to
guide discussions with community members while still providing for opportunities for community
members to ‘tour’ information stations and speak with project team members.
We assume the city would provide drinks and snacks for in-person and virtual engagement to
support the block party feel.
Deliverables:
Up to 10 individual HOA / Neighborhood meetings
Up to 2 drop-in meetings at end of project leading to the adoption process
Presentation materials for meetings, including one (1) round of edits
Task 2.8 Stakeholder Management
Project staff will monitor stakeholder engagement and strategic touchpoints throughout the process
to track engagement and metrics. Updates and review of the tracking system, and engagement with
targeted stakeholder groups will be assessed at key milestones (4x) during the project to ensure
adaptability and efficacy of stakeholder engagement.
Deliverables:
Creation of stakeholder management tracker
20
Agreement Professional Services Page 16
Regular updates to tracker after key project milestones (4), stakeholder interviews, focus
groups, and neighborhood block parties
Assessment of running stakeholder engagement ‘reach’ and metrics (4) after key project
milestones -stakeholder interviews, focus groups, and neighborhood block parties
Task 2.9: Community Engagement Summary
At the end of the project, it will be important to convey all that was learned from the community.
This task will result in a final report that outlines all the engagement opportunities, who participated,
and the key findings. This will be presented as a pdf report, as well as slides that can be used in the
adoption presentation material.
Deliverables:
Community Engagement Summary, including one (1) round of edits
Community Engagement Slides
Raw data files will be provided for all engagement activities
Phase 3 – Project Evaluation
Task 3.1: Review of Mitigation Data (staff)
We understand that staff has completed extensive review of the different mitigation scenarios,
including housing mitigation and waste mitigation, in the city as part of recent proposed code
amendments. We recommend this work be supplemented to further describe the impacts the current
lack of mitigation has on the overall community. We have identified this as work that staff would
complete, as it is a continuation of on-going work. However, the DW / CEI team could support this
if needed from a workload / staffing perspective.
This task focuses on understanding the impacts of required mitigation related to size and cost
developed and how the current levels do not appear to match the impacts created. This would
include an analysis of building permits from 2015-2021 to assess the number of projects, type,
square footage, and opportunities missed in fees on a sliding scale. This will require additional data
points for costs of affordable housing at other COA projects like Burlingame III.
Deliverables:
N/A
Optional review time has been included in the fee
Task 3.2: Review of Demolition / Landfill Data (staff)
We understand that the Environmental Health staff plans to support the moratorium work,
particularly related to understanding landfill and climate impacts related to development. For this
reason, we have identified this as work that staff would complete. However, the DW / CEI team
could support this if needed from a workload / staffing perspective. Additionally, a subconsultant in
the environmental and landfill field may be beneficial to support the work. DW can add this
expertise to our team if desired.
This task focuses on understanding the correlation between the city’s residential development and
stress on the landfill. As with the previous task, we would recommend the city gather data from
2015-2021. This should include a review of the landfill’s tracking system and current programs in
the County.
21
Agreement Professional Services Page 17
Deliverables:
N/A
Optional review time has been included in the fee
Task 3.3: Review of Residential Development Impacts
To further gauge the impacts of residential development on neighborhoods, an impact analysis will
be performed that quantifies the economic effects of new construction. The analysis will examine
the fiscal impact that residential development has on the local economy. In addition to employment,
the analysis will examine the value of new residential construction, how new construction may
affect surrounding property values and sale prices, and the use impacts of a property’s
redevelopment.
As part of this task, the consultant team would review a series of data from local case studies,
including home valuations and sales data, to understand the impacts different scales and location of
residential development have on adjacent properties, the neighborhood, transportation system, and
landfill. This work would be coordinated with task 3.2.
Deliverables:
Review of three (3) residential case studies, including a summary memo for each
Summary memo outlining impacts of residential development from an economic perspective.
Anticipated to be no more than ten (10) pages.
Task 3.4: Buy Down Program Funding and Financial Impact Analysis
Fee in Lieu revenue collected during the construction of new residential properties can be a valuable
tool for funding the purchase and/or subsidization of housing for Aspen residents. Task 3.4 will
focus on two primary goals: First, determining the appropriate fee in lieu levels by residential
neighborhood required to fund a Buy Down program; and second how revenues collected through
fee in lieu contributions can be most impactfully used.
Using sales data provided by the city, the consultant team will map housing sale prices by
neighborhood. This mapping, in combination with input from city staff and project stakeholders will
be used to determine parameters for setting appropriate fee in lieu levels by neighborhood required
to fund a Buy Down program. Estimates as to the amount of revenue that may generated through
Fee in Lieu contributions will be determined as part of this analysis.
To determine the viability of a Buy Down Program, and how such a program may be most
impactful to the creation of affordable housing. To accomplish this, a financial impact analysis will
be performed to determine the relative impact of using Buy Down funds to purchase a singular
residential property versus using funds to partially subsidize the purchase of multiple properties.
Because of the exorbitant cost of housing within Aspen, the impact analysis will explore the cost of
purchasing properties in both Aspen, as well as other communities throughout Pitkin County and
Garfield County.
In addition to assessing the feasibility of a buy down project, the analysis will include a high-level
analysis related to alternative housing affordable housing strategies (i.e., land banking, credits, fee-
in-lieu).
22
Agreement Professional Services Page 18
We anticipate a work session with staff to determine parameters for neighborhood fee in lieu levels.
Deliverables:
A maximum of 4 maps illustrating home sale prices by neighborhood.
A memorandum documenting recommended fee in lieu levels by neighborhood and
suggested strategies for maximizing fundsused in a Buy Down program.
Task 3.5: Affordable Housing Zoning Feasibility Analysis
To quantify how changes to existing zoning conditions may influence the creation of affordable
housing, we will analyze the feasibility and effects of implementing zoning changes that enable the
development of affordable housing, both as an overlay district and as by-right uses in the R6 and
R15 zone districts. The analysis will identify changes to existing code that must be made to enable
the creation of affordable units as well as quantify the amount of affordable units that must be
allowed, by-right, to recoup land and development costs while enabling sufficient profit for
developing parties. The analysis will integrate the findings of EPS’s analysis, where appropriate.
The number of affordable housing units required will used to recommended changes to density and
height requirements.
As part of this task, we will work with the city to determine which categories of affordability of type
housing (i.e., rental or for-sale housing, Resident Occupied, Category 4, employer owned, etc.) are
most needed, as the level of affordability and subsequent sale or rental price will affect the number
of units needed to make development financially feasible.
Deliverables:
A maximum of 4 development financial models created to test development feasibility.
A memorandum documenting detailing the feasibility of affordable housing zoning.
Task 3.6: Code Outline
Building upon the foundational knowledge from the engagement activities and case study review,
we will develop an outline of potential code amendments. This will be completed in memo and
table formats to ensure the changes can be easily tracked back to language from the moratorium
ordinance and the AACP. The memo will also explain why specific changes are recommended.
We anticipate one round of review with staff to finalize the outline prior to moving into drafting the
language.
Deliverables:
Draft outline of code amendments, with one (1) round of edits
Final outline of code amendments
Task 3.7: Local Scenarios
In order to explain the impacts of code changes to City Council, P&Z and the community, the
Design Workshop team will complete three (3) individual scenario reviews using recent or current
projects. Design workshop will work closely with city staff to identify real-world scenarios that are
representative of the Aspen community. This analysis will focus on how the proposed code changes
would have impacted each project. These are anticipated to focus on changes related to growth
management allotments, permit pacing (if pursued), housing mitigation, and any adjustments to
23
Agreement Professional Services Page 19
calculations or zoning. A two-page memo with graphics is anticipated as the main deliverable to
clearly explain the impacts code changes would have.
Deliverables:
Review of three (3) residential scenarios, including a summary memo and graphic for each
Summary memo outlining impacts of construction from a community, neighborhood, and
construction company perspective. Anticipated to be no more than five (5) pages.
Phase 4 – Project Completion
Task 4.1: 50% Code Draft
We understand that staff will lead drafting of the code changes and Design Workshop will provide
review support and support coordinating with other consultants. We suggest a 50% draft that would
be reviewed by related consultant teams and staff prior to creating a public-facing draft document.
The scope anticipates two draft review cycles, including two meetings with staff and any
consultants staff desires participate to review comments and questions on the draft. Formal
comments on the drafts will be completed utilizing a comment log that coordinates and reconciles
all comments.
Deliverables
Review of draft code language (draft 1)
Review of updated code language with redlines (draft 2)
Review cycle and meeting with Staff and invited consultants (2 times)
Comment log provided for each review cycle
Task 4.2: 50% Diagram Draft
To support the usability of the code we propose that some graphics be incorporated. We have
included a total of ten (10) graphics in the scope, but additional graphics could be provided based on
an hourly rate. These graphics are anticipated to be completed in InDesign, Illustrator and
SketchUp.
Deliverables
Draft graphic style
Graphic outline, and example graphics developed to the 50% level.
Task 4.3: 90% Code Draft
This draft is intended to be the public-facing version. The Design Workshop team would provide
final review of the text. Formal comments on the drafts will be completed utilizing a comment log
that coordinates and reconciles all comments.
Deliverables
Review cycle and meeting with Staff and invited consultants to review draft 3
Comment log provided for review cycle
Task 4.4: 90% Diagram Draft
All agreed upon graphics will be provided as part of the 90% document. These will be included with
the text outlined in Task 4.3, and edits will be made based on staff’s review.
24
Agreement Professional Services Page 20
Also included in this task is an overall graphic that describes the project to date and describes what
the community is reviewing. This would be provided as a cover summary to the code language, and
as a standalone document on Aspen Community Voice.
Deliverables
90% graphics, to be incorporated with 90% code draft (draft 3)
Coordinated review with staff
Updated graphics with final 90% draft (draft 4)
Task 4.5 – 4.7: Public Hearings
The scope anticipates up to four meetings to implement code amendment. This includes one hearing
with the Planning and Zoning Commission for a recommendation on the code language. This also
includes three hearings with City Council – one for First Reading, one for Second Reading, and one
for an additional Second Reading. DW staff is able to support additional public hearings on an
hourly basis.
The scope includes production of presentation materials and support for staff memos for the four
meetings noted in these tasks. The scope does not include public noticing or placing the code
language into Ordinance / Resolution format. We recommend that enhanced public noticing be
completed, providing more detail than the standard legal requirements.
Deliverables
Attendance at four (4) public hearings
