RE: Change Order for Professional Design Service for Armory Nall Remodel and Reuse
City of Aspen project number 2023=404
Dear Jen and Rob,
As we have discussed, a change order to our original proposal is necessary as the process, scope,
schedule, and level of complexity of the Armory project has become clearer and changed from the
original assumptions of the RFP. Below we outline the basis for the requested changes to our
original fees, and where appropriate consultants' fees. We have also attached a modified version of
the contract fee spreadsheet to assist you in understanding the additional fees proposed.
Visitor's Center Addition and Basement Expansion (CCY, KL&A, REG)
The original RFP assumed no expansion to the existing building, with City Council's direction, the
project expanded to include a new visitor's center, small ADA accessible vestibule, and the
expansion of the lower level. In total the project has increased by approximately 2,500 square feet
of floor area, or about 14% beyond what the initial fees contemplated. The ground up nature of the
visitor's center and vestibule additions create new complexity and detailing requirements including
product research, code challenges, building envelope assemblies, and a significant amount of
building detailing that would not have been part of the project without the additions.
Schedule Duration, Scope and Process Changes (CCY, KL&A, REG, DW, RFE, Immersed)
To a large degree the project timeline and duration has not tracked with the schedule CCY proposed
for the work. The schedule we proposed was aggressive but achievable and was a result of
responding to the proposed schedule provided in section 1.3 of the RFP. We laid out a schedule of
20 weeks for SD, 14 weeks for DD, and 16 weeks for CDs. Schematic design stretched to 32 weeks,
and we are planning for the completion of Design Development in mid -April, stretching that phase of
work to 24 weeks. We also carried two design options forward to a scheduled Council meeting on
January 13th, which has made the beginning of our Design Development phase relatively inefficient.
As phases of work stretch out more fees are required as a longer schedule results in more meetings,
correspondence, and administrative work. Additional meetings with City Council, more than originally
anticipated and budgeted, added unanticipated expense.
Per the requirements of the original RFP our project schedule had us completing the proposed work
in December 2024. Currently we are now projecting the completion of CDs in September 2025, and
we anticipate that it could slip further due to things beyond CCY's control. With the project moving
considerably slower and a significant amount of the project work shifting to 2025 we are adjusting
our fees, along with KL&A's, REG's, Design Workshops, and Roaring Fork Engineering's fees in
accordance with the annual adjustments to each firm's respective hourly rates. You'll find an
attached exhibit with each firm's new hourly rates for 2025.
The original proposal assumed two City Council meetings in Schematic Design (Part 1). There were
three. There was a new meeting held with City Council on January 13. Our Land Use Approval
COTTLE CARR YAW 228 Midland Ave Box 529 Basalt CO 81621 970 927 4925 www.ccyarchitects.cotn
Docusign Envelope ID: 72FD3285-972B-4105-9717-F56761 F2C4DC
Phase included 3 meetings with City Council, The January 13," meeting is within the current
proposed fees but may result in additional fees if there are more than two additional meetings with
City Council prior to the approval of the Land Use Application. The time for additional council
meetings entails assisting with the preparation of the required memo and packet, developing a
council session presentation, the time for the meeting itself and then follow-up time.
In addition, a CCY staffer is taking an active role in the selection process for both the CMGC and
master operator for the project. This involvement includes reviewing the City prepared RFPs,
reviewing proposal responses, participating in associated meetings, calling references, and
participating in interviews with the shortdisted candidates. For the master operator CCY has and will
continue to cultivate interest in the project within the industry and introduce the project to potential
operators.
The change order request also includes additional fees for Immersed/Meriwether and Design
Workshop beyond the schedule and scope reasons described above. In the original proposal,
Immersed/Meriwether's involvement was anticipated to conclude at the end of Enhanced Schematic
Design with the selection of an operator. With the aim of onboarding a master operator during
Construction Documents, we are requesting additional fees for I/M's continued involvement to advise
the design team and the City on issues related to operations and development of the project.
Design Workshop's fee request reflects the increase in the project scope to expand and re -design
the Hopkins Avenue ROW and portion of the Galena ROW in front of the new Visitors Center. A
small amount of time was carried by DW in SD and DID to explore site design options for the project.
With the development of the ROW, likely, moving forward a significant portion of their fee increase is
fio provide Construction Documents for the ROW work. DW will be contracting separately with the
Parks Department for the land use scope and any additional design collaboration on Conner Park.

The original agreement carries fees for three Advisory Consultants: Code, Waterproofing, and
Specification Writing. These consultants have not been engaged yet. Considering the expanded
scope of the project and timing, we are requesting additional fee for these consultants. Collectively
we are requesting an additional $10,500, see attached spread sheet. Additionally, we will be bringing
on an Acoustical Engineer as an advisory consultant and are requesting an additional $2,000 in DD
and $3,000 in CD. All terms established in our prime agreement apply to the Change Order. The
terms of the contract are hourly to a top set for each phase of work.
We have attempted to make this change order as comprehensive as possible to minimize the
likelihood of another change order during the design phase but as previously stated much of what
could alter the project schedule, the design, and the process moving forward is beyond the design
tearn 's control. Some of the things that could result in an additional change order include requested
design changes from City Council, HPC or City Staff. Two examples of this are a request to preserve
the Hopkins Avenue roof overhang, programmatic shifts, or design changes necessitated by the land
use approval process. The costs to continue to pursue two design options along Hopkins, the bay
3,4,5 scheme and the bay 2,5 scheme through the January 13th meeting are included in this change
order.
The design team will pursue the option confirmed by City Council at the January 13th work session.
As noted earlier, if substantial changes to this design option are necessary it will result in an
additional change order and a shift in the project schedule. Other things that could result in an
additional change order include, but are not limited to, further extension of the project schedule that
is not a result of the design team, the City of Aspen requesting a pause in the work, other additional
meetings with HPC ( 4 anticipated, 0 completed) or City Council ( 3 anticipated, 1 completed) than
the original proposal allows for in the land use process, and any additional milestone submittals
beyond what is provided for in our original proposal.
Building Permit Submission and Review
Authorization for the design team to add the building permit submission and review scope of work to
the current contract is being requested. This scope includes the preparation of a building permit
application and all associated documents for the pre -application and final permit application,
excluding the drawings, but including meetings with departmental staff prior to submission and
during their review and responding to comments during permit review. Should we submit for building
permit prior to the completion of 100%CD's there will be additional time in this scope to manage the
complexities of an early submission. As previously discussed, this scope of work will be provided by
CCY and their consultants on an hourly basis with an allowance of $70,000.00. It is difficult to
forecast the number of hours needed to respond to referral agency comments. If the allowance turns
out to fall short of the amount needed, an additional change order will be requested. The
Construction Administration phase of work is not included in the proposed change order and will be
added to the project contract at a later date.
Interior Design Scope
Below is a proposal to expand CCY's scope from the core and shell to include the interior design
scope. The intent of adding this work is to develop the Armory as a complete project to allow the
City to lease a complete space to a future master operator. The proposed work includes all levels of
the Armory and the new Visitors Center addition to the building.
The Interior Design scope is defined by two distinct parts, the interior fixed finishes and furniture,
fIxtures &equipment (FF&E). The interior fixed finishes scope will include the selection and
necessary documentation and coordination with all other consultants of the fixed finishes for all
spaces within the Armory, including all front of house spaces, back of house spaces and the visitor's
center. Fixed Finishes include the design and specification of all wall/floor tile, flooring, countertops,
cabinetry, plumbing fixtures, fittings and accessories, doors, and hardware. Additionally, the interior

Docusign Envelope ID: 72FD3285-972B-4105-9717-F56761 F2C4DC
design team will work with the architectural team to coordinate the scopes of all other consultants to
deliver a comprehensive and cohesive result. This includes the coordination of floor and ceiling
finishes, architectural lighting, MEP distribution, and kitchen equipment (by others) as related to fixed
finishes in both the front and back of house spaces.
The FF&E scope includes the design Cl"d selection of all furniture and decorative light fixtures (in
conjunction with the lighting designer) for the project. A third party retained by COA is required for
the procurement, shipment, storage, and installation of FF&E. CCY will work with the City and third
party to establish a preliminary budget and project requirements related to FF&E. It is
recommended the procurement company be retained as early as possible to assist with budgetary
and sourcing requirements of the project.
interior Design Process
The phases of our work for the Interior Design scope are described below. Although schematic is
complete for the core and shell phase of Armory Hall, the design team will work to catch
up/compress the timeline for interior design to catch up with the core and shell work with a goal of
both scopes of work eventually tracking together. The ability for this to occur is largely dependent on
the on -boarding of a master operator.
Schematic Design
CCY will work with the Owner Group to establish project goals and requirements as related to the
project program. In SD the objective will be to establish a conceptual design direction for fixed
finishes and FF&E. This will be illustrated largely by plan diagrams, sketches, and imagery.
Conceptual design will not be all inclusive but will convey design intent. A general direction for
material palette, concepts for millwork style, plumbing fixtures, decorative lighting, furnishings, and
textiles will be established. Potential special feature opportunities and custom elements will be
identified as well.
Design Development
In this phase CCY will work to further develop the approved Schematic Design direction. Services
include the design and documentation of interior spaces including fixed finishes, millwork, plumbing
fixtures, bath accessories, and decorative hardware. Development of floor plans, reflected ceiling
plans, interior elevations, material palette, special features, and millwork occur. A more developed
package for fixed finishes and FF&E will be presented to the Owner. We anticipate this being a
digital package with imagery and drawings to convey design intent, and physical samples
representing fixed finishes, furnishings, and textiles.
Continued development of the FF&E package in conjunction with the Owner and third party
procurement company are included. We anticipate at this phase an FF&E specification matrix based
on keyed furniture plans will be submitted to the procurement company to provide clarity on FF&E
package.
Construction Documents
CCY will finalize the interior design package, including fixed finishes and FF&E selections. A digital
package summarizing the finalized design will be provided. CCY will finalize drawings and
specifications for construction and provide a comprehensive set of documents based on the
approved design. A keyed furniture plan, final FF&E matrix, and specifications will be issued to the
Owner's procurement agent to bid.
The process and associated fees assume that you will continue to be our primary clients and the
City's key, day to day, decision making authority. We anticipate involvement with ACRA and have
assumed up to 3 design meetings with them to share and develop the Interior Design of the Visitor's
Center. We are also anticipating the involvement of the Master Operator in the Interior Design
COTTLE CARR YAW 228 Midland Ave Box 529 Basalt CO 81621 970 927 4925 www.ccyarchitects.com
Docusign Envelope ID: 72FD3285-972E-4105-9717-1`56761 F2C4DC
process of the Armory. This involvement is difficult to define without the operator on board.
Depending on how this takes shape there may be the need for additional fees in the future for both
interior design and architecture should their involvement drive reconsideration or changes to the
design that are shifts from previously provided direction or are changes that are out of alignment with
the project's current phase of work
Interior Design Schedule
We anticipate delivering the SD, DD, and CD Interior fixed finish scope concurrently with the DD and
CD architectural scope. The Interior FF&E SD and DD scope will follow the same schedule laid out
above but the CD scope of work for FF&E will likely be completed after the completion of the
Architecture and Interior Fixed Finish 100% Construction Documents. As mentioned above the time
of selection and involvement of the Master Operator has the potential to alter the Interior Design
schedule.
Interior Design Fees
The fees for the Interiors scope of work are provided below.
Interior Fixed Finishes
Proposed Fee
Schematic Design
$71,330
Design Development
$1233820
Construction Documents
$151,760
Total
$346,910
Interior FFE
Schematic Design
$247775
Design Development
$69,110
Construction Documents
$90,080
Total
$1837965
We have broken out each phase's fees into estimates for fixed finishes and FFE. For reference,
interior fixed finishes tend to run from 1-2% of the project. In this case, based on a 35 million
construction budget, the interior fixed finishes amount to 0.93% of the construction hard costs.
Similarly, interior FF&E typically runs 0.5-1 % of the construction costs. Our fee is 0.5%.
Both scopes of work will be performed for each phase against the total top set provided for Interior
Design services. The fees described above are only for CCY's professional fees. Reimbursable
expenses and other consultants' fees are not included in the proposed fees. These fees do not
include branding, signage, art program development, procurement, shipment, storage, or installation
of FF&E, or the selection or procurement of OS&E. Similar to the core and shell scope, the Contract
Administration scope for Interior Design services is not currently included but will be added to this
contract per amendment at a later time. Estimated reimbursable expenses are included on the
attached spreadsheet.
We are very excited to continue our work on such an important project for the City of Aspen and the
community. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to expand our scope and deliver both the core
and shell and the interior design scope of work to ensure a cohesive vision, which meets the needs
and expectations of our community.

architectural changes and adherence to a modest budget.
The Aspen Skiing Company wanted to create the premier on-mountain dining experience
in the snow sports industry by repositioning their former BBQ restaurant, Sam’s Knob at
Snowmass, to be a contemporary alpine trattoria.
The dining room is open to the charcuterie kitchen and surrounded by table-to-ceiling glass
on the remaining three sides, while a floating wine storage wall casually subdivides the space
for a private dining area. Outdoor tables and soft seating gathered around an exterior fireplace
fill out the offering from a sunny, southwest facing deck surrounded by mountain peaks.

BUTTERMILK MOUNTAIN LODGE | Aspen, Colorado
CCY Scope: Architecture, Interior Architecture, Interiors FF&E, Master Planning in
collaboration with DesignWorkshop. CCY was the design and architect of record
The design goal was to renovate and refresh rather than tear down and rebuild, the
Buttermilk Mountain Lodge. We updated the exterior character to be consistent
with Aspen Snowmass’s newly branded “bold, artful, and optimistic” experience and
reinforce the brand identity with an updated interior finish package and timeless
aesthetic
Originally constructed in 1993, Buttermilk Mountain Lodge was extensively renovated
to serve as a slope-side restaurant and bar with a dynamic interior to accommodate
special events and weddings. This multi-functional building also includes an
administrative level with offices for staff and management, as well as back-of-house
functions for staff lockers, storage, and maintenance.
The Buttermilk Mountain Lodge remodel converted commercial kitchen
equipment to electric where possible, with a phased plan to replace all natural
gas equipment over time. Complete window replacement with U-.24 glazing and
solar shades was implemented to reduce heat gain and summer cooling loads.

EGLISE LODGE | Yellowstone Club, Big Sky, Montana
CCY Scope: Architecture, Interior Architecture, Interior Design and Furnishings
Yellowstone Club’s new on-mountain restaurant, the Eglise Lodge, serves as the base
camp for a 1000-acre ski and summer recreation expansion.
The restaurant features a mix of open dining seating. The outdoor terrace to the south
connects to sun and skiing while the north side of the building is elevated to capture
views. The building’s low sloped shed roofs and simple forms contrast and defer to its
surrounding vertical landscape, while a palette of natural and very textural materials pay
tribute to Montana’s building history.
Staying true to honest and authentic materials, the interior strategy builds upon the
exterior material palette, bringing in the exterior stone, wood, and steel, with a refined
warmth. As a high-altitude fine-dining environment, the interiors program has created a
refined experience that is also resilient to ski equipment and high traffic.
A lower-level flex space provides additional dining/lounge seating for YC’s youth ski
school, private event overflow, conferences, or exclusive member events.
CCY designed the roof structure with Cross Laminated Timbers, or CLT, supported with
Glulam columns. In this way, the building further draws from vernacular traditions—in this
case, timber-frame structures—but in a 21st century method.

BUTTERMILK BASE - GUEST SERVICES | Aspen, Colorado
CCY Scope: Architecture, Interior Architecture, Interiors FF&E, Master Planning in
collaboration with DesignWorkshop. CCY was the design and architect of record
Since 1958, Buttermilk Mountain has been an aspirational destination resort for tour-
ists, first-time skiers, and a low-key ski area for Aspen locals. The overall project’s
masterplan included three buildings that were designed to create a campus and to
support and enhance the guest experience from arrival to departure. They include:
Buttermilk Mountain Lodge, Guest Services, and The Hideout.
Completed in 2023, Guest Services is a new building that includes one-stop amenities
to provide a welcoming environment for the Buttermilk Mountain guest. These
functions include a day lounge area, ticket sales, equipment rental, retail, day lockers,
and adult ski school registration.
A flexible interior design plan was thoughtfully incorporated utilizing mobile
casework, and partitions to build in resiliency over time.
With an eye toward optimizing energy performance, sustainable design strategies
generate efficient and high-performance buildings at Buttermilk. Guest Services is an
all electric building. It will function as net-zero once the local utility completes their
targeted transition to renewable source power. Guest Services also uses passive solar
design and performs 26% better than code, based on ASHRAE 90.1-1.
Construction achieved greater than 76% total waste recovery through re-use or
recycling. Less than 24% of the project’s total construction material was disposed of
at the local land fill.
Indoor air quality is maintained with low VOC finishes, frequent outdoor air changes,
operable windows, air-locked entry vestibules, and walk-off grates that reduce dust by
85%.

MOONLIGHT BASIN ULERY’S LAKE LODGE | Big Sky, Montana
CCY Scope: Site Planning, Architecture, Interior Architecture, Interior Design, Furnishings, and Specifications
Set in a stretch of wilderness, just north of Yellowstone National Park, Ulery’s Lake is a new neighborhood within
Moonlight Basin, a residential club affiliated with the Big Sky ski resort. Looking to create an unparalleled
family-oriented experience combining recreation and luxury, the developers of Ulery’s Lake hired
CCY to design a guest lodge with 16 private residences as well as a collection of contemporary cabins.
This private resort, with immediate access to both Ulery’s Lake and skiing, also offers 11,600 sf of
amenities, including a 68-seat restaurant and bar area; pool and outdoor terrace seating, a den,
fitness center, gear outfitter, half- size basketball court, and rock-climbing wall.
CCY identified a material palette—wood, stone, steel and fiber cement panels—that created consistency
across the community, but subtle variations give each set of buildings its own unique identity. A glulam col-
umn and beam structure was selected for all the buildings. The honesty of the big boned, expressed struc-
ture has a subtle but prevalent tie to Montana’s heritage. LEED Certified

ELK CAMP RESTAURANT | Snowmass, Colorado
CCY Scope: Architecture, Interior Architecture, & Interior Finishes
Accessed by a scenic 9-minute gondola ride originating from Snowmass
Base Village, Elk Camp was named “Best On-Mountain Restaurant” in
North America by Skiing magazine. The restaurant achieved LEED Silver
certification for its sustainable merits.
Elk Camp is a winter dining venue and summer base camp situated at
the top of Elk Camp Gondola. It not only played a pivotal role within
the visionary plan for Snowmass Mountain but also stands as a signature
building for Snowmass, exemplifying the Aspen Skiing Company brand.
Its distinctive curved roof design, inspired by the principles of harmoniz-
ing with nature and snow sports, earned Elk Camp Restaurant the title of
“the best on-mountain restaurant in North America” by Skiing Magazine.
This architectural marvel offers a truly memorable and multi-generational
experience.
The Great Room can accommodate up to 250 guests, act as a special
event venue and is served from an open scramble servery. An adjoining
lounge provides a warm and intimate gathering space, which opens up to
a large south-facing terrace overlooking Snowmass Mountain slopes.
The curved design is rooted in several key principles: it establishes a
connection to nature and adventure, integrates form-making that exudes
energy, and creates a memorable experience, aligning perfectly with the
values of the Aspen Skiing Company.
