Attachment A— Scope of Services
Weld County, Colorado
University Technical Assistance Program
University of Colorado Denver, CCCD-DOLA Program.
April 17, 2015
The University Technical Assistance (UTA) Program at CCCD has been requested to provide
design and planning services to Weld County,Colorado,through the Northern Front Range Metropolitan
Planning Organization.Work is to prepare a transit study that outlines the needs and particulars of a
transit option to connect the Hill-n-Park neighborhood with more distant local transit options. This
project would help the regional partners including Weld County,the City of Evans, Greeley Evans Transit,
Hill N Park, and others understand the transit needs of this neighborhood. Following are project task
areas discussed with scope of work for each and a timeline and budget that follow.
Work Scope
The Hill-n-Park neighborhood is an enclave within Weld County flanked by Greeley to the north and
Evans to the south.This community depends on public transportation for access to shopping, medical,
schools and employment.Transit routes that now connect this neighborhood with the Greeley Evans
Transit Routes will change January 1, 2016 and the neighborhood will lose their public transit options.
New transit options needed to be considered.The transit system envisioned includes volunteer driven
van(s),some handicap accessible, and routing through the neighborhood and direct connection to
regional transit lines.
Work for this project is intended to help Weld County understand the transit needs of this
neighborhood, apply transit solutions and provide a summary of possible short term and long term costs
associated with those options. Assistance is also requested to outline transit routes,frequency,
connection points, and provide some sample transit flyers for the neighborhood.
Work tasks begin with:
• To understand the needs present a quick survey of the neighborhood travel destinations
and travel times will be conducted to determine the extent of the transit needs within the
community. If there are a substantial number heading in one direction than more extended
transit routing may be appropriate.
• Map existing Evans and Greeley transit routes,times and stops.
• Meet with the steering committee with suggestions for routing, stops,equipment needs,
and other preliminary thoughts on the end plan.
• Draft up a listing of costs for equipment,training, maintenance,fuel, and other operational
costs of a transit system. We feel we can base some of these costs on studies compiled by
other Colorado communities.
• Outline where possible transit system funding might be available to put this proposition into
action.
• Present the findings to the Hill-n-Park neighborhood,City of Evans and County
Commissioners for their consideration and possible action.
Work is intended to be a first step in the planning phase. Later phases with more detail cost
estimates and professional transit services will bring these ideas to a more complete stage.
Attachment'A'Hill-n-Park Transit Study Work Scope 1 of 2 April 17,2015
Work is supervised by Mike Tupa, UCDenver Community Development Coordinator within the UTA
program and prepared by graduate level Planning and Design interns from the College of Architecture

Timeline

thought this work can be completed over the following summer months with a report finished by
September.A formal completion date of November 1, 2015 is anticipated. If a tighter timeline is desired
we can work with that as well.
Cost Estimate-Budget
Work will be billed to Weld County at completion of the final work task. It is estimated that work
on this project will require$ 2,000 to cover the staff work,travel expenses,follow-up review and
preparation of the final documents. Cost of this work is to be shared by Weld County and the UCDenver
DOLA UTA Grant program as follows:
Hill-n-Park Transit System Study
DOLA Match $1,000
County Match/share of cost $1,000
Total $ 2,000
