Statement of Work
The City of Aspen,with agreement from the Gorsuch Haus developers,the Lift One Lodge developers,

IA Assessment Report(October 2017),and evaluate two alternatives to one of these options.The scope
includes additional analysis of 2 of the options listed in the report: options I and 7, and analysis of two
alternatives to Option 7: options 7A and 7B. Following is SE Group's proposed contract for undertaking
new work.

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

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;

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;
I. 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 1 A 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.Provide a summary of factors typically given
consideration when granting variances and cite examples of past variances.
6. Prepare a 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;
Page 2 of 6
g. 1,000-1,500 sq. ft.of ticketing and skier services space(ticketing, restrooms,day lockers)

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 the lift for viable portal
operation.
5. Coordinate with Gorsuch Haus and Lift One Lodge on integration of the Lift l A schematic
design with their site plans.
