between the City of Aspen and SE Group approved by the City Manager on_______________,
contract number_______.
Statement of Work
The City of Aspen, with agreement from the Gorsuch Haus developers, the Lift One Lodge developers,
and Aspen Skiing Co. would like to valuate two options from the results of the City of Aspen Lift 1A
Assessment Report (October 2017). The scope includes additional analysis of 2 of the options listed in the
report: options 1 and 7, to further determine the feasibility of lowering Lift 1A closer to Dean Street.
Following is SE Group’s proposed contract for undertaking new work.
TASK 1 – Additional Analysis for Option 1
1. Establish preferred lift technology (detachable chairlift, telemix/chondola, or gondola) through
discussion with stakeholders.
2. Coordinate with Leitner-Poma on specific design aspects, spatial layout, and vertical alignment
requirements of selected lift technology.
3. Develop schematic design drawings for Option 1 that address the following specific components:
a. vertical lift alignments, grading, and retaining wall placement;
b. pedestrian path and vertical circulation from Dean Street to the lift elevation;
c. pedestrian access routes from the Monarch Street area, Lift One Lodge project area, Lift
One Park, South Aspen Street, and the St. Regis Neighborhood area, including
improvements such as additional sidewalks, pathways, stairs or outside escalators which
could improve accessibility;
d. identification of the land ownership within ski corridors, and required corridor limits and
building areas affected by ski runs or lifts at the Lift One Lodge and Gorsuch Haus
projects;
e. 1,000-1,500 sq. ft. of ticketing and skier services space (ticketing, restrooms, day lockers)
located under the lift building platform, entered from the north at elevation ~7,990;
f. ADA access from the Dean St. bus drop-off to the ticket office and to the lift load point
elevation;
g. east-to-west cross sections through the north end of the lift building to the ground floors
of existing and proposed structures east and west of the lift building;
h. suitably sized ski rack and pedestrian/skier milling areas, and skier circulation functions
which sequentially precede skier mazing and serve end of day exiting;
i. access and staging space for emergency vehicle loading at the top of South Aspen Street,
outside of the cul-de-sac fire lane, and accessible to snow;
j. event and operations staging space, including winter and summer heavy truck unloading
and material transfer to cats at the top of South Aspen Street, outside of the cul-de-sac
fire lane, with connection to summer road;
k. dimension the lift maze area, depict placement of a typical access gate, demonstrate how
snow maintenance can be mechanically performed by snowcats;
l. depict, dimension and profile alternate lift equipment (telemix or gondola), including
loading/unloading platforms and circulations patterns.
4. Coordinate with Gorsuch Haus and Lift One Lodge on integration of the Lift 1A schematic
design with their site plans.
5. Present concepts to Colorado Passenger Tramway Safety Board for opinion on variances and
anticipated conditions required for variance.
6. Prepare 3-D rendering of the schematic plan.
TASK 2 – Additional Analysis for Option 7
1. Establish preferred lift technology (detachable chairlift, telemix/chondola, or gondola) through
discussion with stakeholders.
2. Coordinate with Leitner-Poma on specific design aspects, spatial layout, and vertical alignment
requirements of selected lift technology.
3. Develop schematic design drawings for Option 7 that address the following specific components:
a. vertical lift alignments, grading, and retaining wall placement;
b. limits to the ski run zone adjacent to and in between buildings and lift towers (new and
old), return ski run width required for repeat skiing, and operationally functional skiing
corridor;
c. dimension desired set back from proposed trail edge to building face;
d. relation to the St. Regis Hotel neighborhood for pedestrian and skier access, with routes
and pedestrian improvements such as sidewalks, pathways, stairs or outside escalators
identified;
e. space and maneuvering requirements for grooming of the ski run;
f. lift and skiing infrastructure requiring a permanent easement for use, including the space
required for snowcat movement and snow making;
g. 1,000-1,500 sq. ft. of ticketing and skier services space (ticketing, restrooms, day lockers)
accessible from the Dean Street arrival and convenient to snow and the 7,950-foot load
elevation;
h. ADA access from the Dean St. bus drop-off to the ticket office and to the lift load point
elevation;
i. suitably sized ski rack and pedestrian/skier milling areas;
j. access and staging space for emergency vehicle loading at the top of South Aspen Street,
outside of the cul-de-sac fire lane, and accessible to snow;
k. event and operations staging space, including winter and summer heavy truck unloading
and material transfer to cats at the top of South Aspen Street, outside of the cul-de-sac
fire lane, with connection to summer road;
l. depict, dimension and profile alternate lift equipment (telemix or gondola), including
loading/unloading platforms and circulations patterns.
4. Specify snow making requirements, including seasonal volume, equipment location, hours of
operation, and surface storage requirements to maintain snow access to lift for viable portal
operation.
5. Coordinate with Gorsuch Haus and Lift One Lodge on integration of the Lift 1A schematic
design with their site plans.
6. Present concepts to Colorado Passenger Tramway Safety Board for opinion on variances and
anticipated conditions required for variance.
7. Prepare 3-D rendering of the schematic plan.
TASK 3 – Analysis of Option 7A to include Mid-station at Gorsuch Haus
1. Establish preferred lift technology (detachable chairlift, telemix/chondola, or gondola) through
discussion with stakeholders.
2. Coordination with Leitner-Poma on specific design aspects, functionality, spatial layout, and
vertical alignment requirements of a mid-station
3. Develop schematic design drawings for Option 7A that address the following specific
components:
a. load platform length, cut and fill requirements and retaining walls required;
b. ski trail to the east and the platform or plaza to the west adjoining the proposed Gorsuch
Haus;
c. vertical circulation (stairs, elevators, etc.) required to get from the South Aspen Street
cul-de-sac at roughly 8,000 feet elevation, including ADA requirements.
d. mid-station access, circulation requirements and patterns for loading and unloading;
e. relationship of the mountain access road to the mid-station
4. Coordinate with Gorsuch Haus on integration of the mid-station schematic design with their site
plans.
TASK 4 – Evaluation of Qualitative Criteria from Stakeholders
The three options will be evaluated, through written commentary, regarding how they conform with the
following qualitative criteria developed by the stakeholder group:
1. Ski run width
2. Snowmaking, snow management, maintenance and grooming
3. Skier and pedestrian circulation
4. Repeat skiing and ski access to bottom terminal
5. Ticketing and guest services
6. Employee and ski patrol operational facilities
7. Emergency service access and staging
8. Mountain access road
9. Maintenance access
10. Mid-station terminal functionality (Option 7A only)
11. Adverse impacts to lodge development sites
12. Conditions that could lead to infeasibility (e.g., historic preservation goals, property ownership
restrictions, unobtainable variances)
TASK 5 – Review with City of Aspen
1. Illustrations of initial findings sent to City of Aspen
2. Conference call with City of Aspen to review initial findings
3. Revisions
TASK 6 – Report Production
1. Report outlining study methodologies, information sources, findings, and conclusions
2. Graphics production of report illustrations
