MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council

DATE OF MEMO: June 18, 2015
MEETING DATE: July 14, 2015
RE: Civic Space Relocation Project (CSRP) – Conceptual Design
Presentation
REQUEST OF COUNCIL: Staff requests City Council select one of the options to
move forward into schematic design and ongoing public process.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: In a worksession on November 17, 2014, staff
presented the four leading location options for the CSRP project. These options were
developed from direction and information received in three other Council work sessions
and several public open houses that were done in 2014. Council gave direction in this
work session to advertise the Architectural Design and Program Management/Owners
Representative Request for Proposals for this important civic project. Council also
agreed the first major milestone for the new team would be to return to Council with the
two Council preferred options developed to conceptual level for a decision on the final
location for the team to take to construction documents.
The two selected options were Option One and Option Four described below which will
be referred to as the Armory Option (Option One) and the Galena Plaza Option (Option
Four) moving forward.
In a regular Council meeting on March 9, 2015 Council approved the design contract for
Charles Cunniffe Architects (CCA) to provide design services through Construction
Documents and a Program Manager/ Owners Representation Contract for Rider Levett
Bucknall (RLB) for the project.
BACKGROUND: Finding a solution to the loss of downtown leases is a top priority for
City Council and is articulated in one of its top ten goals.
Goal 8 - Achieve direction from city council on a solution for the loss of
downtown Police and municipal office spaces. Champion: Scott Miller
Staff received direction From Council, as part of the Facility Master Plan Project,
in November 2014 to issue Request for Proposals (RFP) for Architectural Design
teams and Program Manager/ Owners Agent for the “Aspen Building
P1

Replacement Project”. The Aspen Building Replacement Projects Main Goal is to
provide a comprehensive solution for the Police and Municipal Facility by mid-
year 2018. The RFP will close on February 5, 2015 at which point the team will
make a recommendation to select the design team and the PM/OA, these
contracts will be on consent agenda late February 2015. The first milestone of
that team will be to work closely with staff and the steering committee to
develop and present, to Council in the first quarter 2015, two conceptual level
plans for selection of the preferred option. Staff will check in with Council
throughout the year to keep them informed of the progress of the project as well
as review all decision points. Staff and the team will continue to do public
outreach at all phases of this project to keep the public informed. The preferred
option will be taken to design development level drawing and be submitted into
the Planning and Zoning approval process by September 2015, this will give us a
clear direction, cost information and schedule for a solution to our Police and
Municipal facilities by end of year 2015. The team is targeting mid 2018 for
completion of a solution.
Staff started the Facility Master Plan Process in early 2014. As part of the project our
team inventoried all of the City facilities and carried out an overall space analysis. During
this, the need for space in the downtown core became apparent. Prior to and during this
effort several things happened that have made the downtown core need for office space
more crucial than ever:
• The City and County executed an agreement that the Police would move out of the
County owned space at the Courthouse and County Community Development
would move out of the City owned Armory sometime in 2018. Eventually, this
building is going to be for exclusive court use.
• The Aspen Pitkin County Housing Authority would move out of the County
owned Courthouse Plaza Building. The County is preparing to renovate this
building to accommodate their increasing space needs.
• The Aspen Daily News Building (City Hall Annex) was sold and the new owner
asked that the Building, Engineering, City Manager, and Canary initiative relocate
by the end of 2015 to allow for redevelopment.
• The team identified the inappropriate use of the basement of the Yellow Brick as
City offices due to access and security concerns in a child care facility.
This equals a loss of about 24,000 gross square feet (gsf) of the overall 50,000 gross
square feet that the City presently operates out of in the downtown core.
In early 2015 the team verified all programing for building design criteria and assessed
space needs. After careful consideration with the staff, City Manager’s office and Human
Resources, the team dialed back its space assumptions to be more appropriate for our
unique Aspen market. This led us to a reduced standard, about 30% smaller than common
P2
I.
Page 3 of 9
office space planning standards used in the US. This “Verified Program” (attached) is the
space plan we are using for design which includes 14,900 gsf for Police and 51,900 gsf
for City office program. The team has challenged themselves through careful, efficient,
design to reduce this by another 5%.
During the fall of 2014 the team held several open houses and presented various options
to the public and Council on how to use all of our currently held assets to come with a
space needs solution. This process started with identification of a “kit of parts” then
development of four option that programed all of our needs into solutions utilizing these
assets. In this process we reached out to the staff, public, and Council to find out what the
important values we needed to bring forward in solutions. We found the following:
• Plan City Hall under one roof
• Utilize all of our currently owned assets
• Must be a sustainable solution, we should be leaders in this area
• No tax increase
• Far reaching
• Police should have an appropriate facility
• Police facility should be planned at 540 Main
• City should own not lease facilities as there is a major cost advantage
The program design team took all of the criteria and presented four options to Council in
November 2014 and the request of council was to select two preferred options to form the
basis of design moving forward. This meeting set the first milestone as conceptual level
design on the two selected options along with more public outreach followed by a
presentation to council for selection of the preferred solution to move into schematic
level design.
During the open houses the following core values featured as a common thread in both
internal and external outreach:
• A minimum of a LEED Gold certification; the City should be leaders in
sustainable practices.
• Humble yet exemplary solution is very important to the community
• The Police facility should be at 540 Main St. and we should work collaboratively
with Pitkin County to maximize efficiency with the development of their public
safety building.
• We should be innovative and creative to produce the best result in the smallest
box.
• We should be collaborative with the community
• We should solve the problem with our currently held assets
• We should own not lease
• Most participants preferred Galena Plaza Option
• Some people felt sentiment to the Armory Option and felt that it spoke to who we
are.

• There is momentum in the community to return the Armory to its historic
configuration for community benefit.
Below is an outline of the options:

DISCUSSION:
The common theme we have heard through the public outreach and internal process has
been the solution needs to be forward thinking and far reaching. We believe the solutions
that we have presented reach out 50 years and are flexible and have the ability to either
expand or contract our facilities. There is total of 3000 gsf planned for growth through
the year 2030. We are facing a loss of space for several of our busiest departments and
our Police department, and it is clear that doing nothing is not an option. To try to lease
space (if it is available) would cost more in lease costs and tenant improvements in 10 –
15 years than the cost to responsibly invest our dollars in owned facilities, utilizing all of
our currently held real estate assets in the downtown core area.
There a pros and cons outlined on the assessment criteria. Staff recognizes that the single
biggest detriment to any plan that includes use of the Armory in a configuration for
municipal offices would be the disruption of City operations and service for a period of
one to three years as we moved the operations out of the building, leased temporary
office space and remodeled the building and then moved everyone back in. Based on the
availability of space this would likely be in 6 – 10 locations throughout town. Staff feels
this is an unneeded burden on the community considering that we can accommodate a
P6
I.
Page 7 of 9
solution that meets more of the core values on our other currently held land assets with
the added benefit of returning the Armory to its historic configuration. If the Galena
Plaza option is selected, the team will bring the issue of restoring the Armory to its
historic configuration for community benefit back to council in work sessions in July and
August to determine what this process would be.
This is a very important decision. The solution that staff has determined meets our needs
in the best way, delivering the most core values, with the least risk, and the most
efficiency’s for public benefit is the Galena Option. The assessment criteria below used
for scoring does not weight the categories i.e. the two year construction impacts to the
community are weighted the same as construction cost, yet it is a simple way for us to
gauge the values presented by internal and community stakeholders. Based on this
criteria as well as weighing what we heard in the process we have gone through to date,
we feel the Galena option presents the best solution for the community.
If council agrees, this option would be taken to the next phase of design which includes
by year end 2015, as outlined in our schedule, three public open houses, four stakeholder
meetings, and three more work session presentations to Council. We will also engage
Design Workshops facilitation group out of their Austin office to help us run two
community meetings in a meaningful way.
FINANCIAL/BUDGET IMPACTS:

Page 8 of 9
Armory Option Galena Option Galena Alternate
Construction $48.4 mil $45.8 mil $40.6 mil
Risk Contingency $3.0 mil $0.5 mil $0.7 mil
Owner Costs $5.9 mil $2.0 mil $3.7 mil
TOTAL $57.3 mil $48.3 mil $45.0 mil
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council approval of the Galena
Plaza Option as the primary solution. Selection of this option includes returning the
Armory to historic configuration for community benefit, with the notion that the process,
P8
I.
Page 9 of 9
cost and specifics of this need to be decided in the future. A work session in July is
already scheduled for Council to hear from a community group advocating for reuse of
the Armory. Staff would follow this up with a work session to discuss Council’s vision
on this in August. We have time to develop this process as the city offices can remain in
the Armory while the Galena option is designed and built. This recommendation includes
the decision to have the Police facility at 540 Main to allow collaboration and efficiencies
with the County public safety facility at the adjoining location. Once we set the additional
programing in schematic design on the site, the Police facility will move to its own track
for completion of design and construction.
