I. PROJECT INFORMATION

The City of Loveland wishes to develop a Highway 402 Master Corridor Plan that will serve as a guide for residents, property owners, developers, City staff, and elected officials in making sound land use, infrastructure, design, and development decisions in the corridor study area. The primary goals of the Plan are to:

• Provide for orderly, thoughtful and high quality development that is consistent with the community's goals for the corridor;
• Generate private investment in the 402 corridor;
• Facilitate the redevelopment of deteriorated areas;
• Increase jobs and generate new tax revenue through new development;
• Create a gateway employment corridor to Loveland;
• Understand and identify public infrastructure required to support development, including water, wastewater, power, stormwater control and road networks;
• Ensure a coordinated and collaborative approach with other city departments, public agencies including Larimer County, CDOT, the Colorado Water Conservation Board and their consultants who are engaged in other efforts on 402;
• Ensure community buy-in through a public involvement process that includes a minimum of 3 public meetings;
• Create an infrastructure plan that is coordinated with other city department and public agency initiatives for 402, and includes implementation strategies and a timeline for improvement of public infrastructure along the corridor; and
• Define an implementation strategy that includes short-term and long-term strategies as well as public, private and public-private financing options, and provide specific recommendations for City Council action.

II. EXPECTED DELIVERABLES

The Consultant team will be responsible for providing the City with all raw data, maps, GIS layers, reports, etc. produced as a result of this project in their original native format. All GIS data generated during the project and included in the final document will be provided back to the city for use in form of both Map Packages (.mpk) for all map documents created and Layer Packages (.lpk) files for all GIS feature data created. If ArcMap 10.5 is not available then all GIS data should be provided with both shapefiles and layer files.

The Consultant team will provide at least 2 copies of all draft documents, including technical reports, memos, maps, etc. in original native format. The Consultant will provide one reproducible copy of the final 402 Corridor Plan as approved by the City and electronic copies of all documents. The Consultant will also provide all reports, draft documents, maps, and the final Plan in electronic form in both PDF and true native format (i.e. Microsoft Word, Adobe Illustrator, etc.). All files generated shall become the property of the City.
