Introduction & Background
Clear Creek School District (CCSD), in Idaho Springs, Colorado, is in need of professional services with respect to a facility assessment for the district building (Old Carlson) located at 1300 Colorado Blvd., Idaho Springs, CO 80452, and is accepting proposals in response to this Request for Proposal (or “RFP”). We seek a qualified source to provide a facility appraisal for this building that includes the value of the property based on current and alternate zoning options within the community plan. Old Carlson currently houses the district office staff and an elementary school. It is approximately 55,132 sq. feet and is located at the gateway to the town of Idaho Springs. It was built in the early 1900’s and was converted from a high school to an elementary in 1968. Recent community meetings were held to gather feedback hosted by the Vitality Task Force to discuss the economic future and business core in the town. Many businesses and town officials view the Old Carlson as an anchor property and a key element to the continued economic development of this former mining community. The purpose of this facility assessment shall be to evaluate the option of liquidating the property or renovating Old Carlson into possible district uses, such as housing for staff. Innovative partnerships with the community on multi-use opportunities will also be considered.
