100523 - Town of Estes Park Parking Lot Redesign and Corridor Study

The Town of Estes Park (TOEP) seeks proposals from qualified Consultants and/or Firms to provide professional transportation engineering and design services for two separate yet geographically adjacent and interconnected projects:

1. Town Parking Lot Redesign – Redesign the Estes Park Visitor Center parking lot, located at 500 Big Thompson Avenue. The redesigned parking lot should provide improved vehicular circulation allowing the facility to continue serving a variety of transportation needs for both residents and visitors to the Town, including multiple transit services, ride share, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and related placemaking and wayfinding amenities. This scope includes preparation of bid-ready construction documents for the parking lot and related improvements.
2. US 34 Corridor Study – Conduct a Corridor Study of Big Thompson Avenue (US 34) between the area just west of the US 34 / US 36 intersection (near the entrance to the Ed’s Cantina / Kind Coffee private parking lot) and Steamer Drive. This corridor was identified in the 2018 Downtown Plan for transportation improvements including new potential pedestrian crossings, streetscape improvements, multimodal safety enhancements, traffic signal optimization, intersection modifications including a roundabout, and increased connectivity to transit and parking. This study will require community engagement, traffic analysis, preparation of a summary report, and development of conceptual plans with cost estimates.
