City of Golden Transit Shelter Project


SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work includes providing identification and refinement of a community based design meeting the project goals and creating a community design statement. In addition to the above stated information all necessary services to manage all aspects of the project in compliance with local inspection requirements from start of construction through completion are required. The work includes base materials compilation, conceptual final design, engineering design support and construction.

TRANSIT CENTER OBJECTIVES
The Transit Centers are intended to provide a unique presence at Parfet Park in an effort to serve a number of community goals, including:

  • Increasing awareness of transit options (both current and enhanced over time) as an alternative for residents, employees, and visitors to the downtown area.
  • Using such awareness to boost transit usage in support of goals within Golden Vision, the Comprehensive Plan, the Downtown Development Authority Plan, and the current Downtown Parking Plan. 
  • Enhancing our community culture and image through the choice of higher impact design for public amenities.
  • Such public amenity choices may also serve as a community statement of values or identity.
  • City Council has recently articulated an enhanced demonstration of creative design as a desirable change for our downtown streetscape.

Proposals should address the following factors:

Essentials:    The Transit Shelters should provide an acceptable level of protection from the elements, which include sun, snow, rain and wind. The project should accommodate or provide visible, user-friendly transit and way-finding information. Electrical access can be provided, but alternate power sources are preferred and encouraged. Interior and/or exterior furniture should discourage use as a sleeping area. 

Appearance: The Transit Shelters, while not identical, shall be similar in appearance and inviting to users. The appearance should not mimic any specific historic style. The shelters should not take up usable park space. The Transit Shelters should be of a creative and artistic design that is unique to Golden.

Access:    The shelters must meet ADA guidelines for access. Shelters should be accessible from both the park and the sidewalk areas. 

Aesthetics:    The Transit Shelters shall be constructed with attractive, desirable and durable materials. They should be artful and inviting. Lighting should be incorporated for both aesthetics and safety. Transparency should also be considered for safety. They should provide space, inside or outside, for trash and recycling receptacles. Designs using alternative power sources will be given extra consideration.

Durability:    The Transit Shelters should be able to withstand Golden’s normal environmental conditions for a period of up to 15 years with reasonable maintenance required. Additional consideration will be given to designs that discourage vandalism. 

Past Work: It is required that you submit ample evidence of past work that is related to this project, such as images.
