PROPOSAL FOR PLANNING, DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR APRIL 06, 2021 Tarryall-Cline Ranch
Cover Letter April 06, 2021 Mr. Evan Lockhart-Borman Historic Preservationist Park County Department of Heritage and Tourism Dear Mr. Lockhart-Borman and Members of the Selection Committee, BVH Architecture is excited to present this proposal to Park County for the Historic Restoration and Rehabilitation Services for the Tarryall-Cline Ranch. BVH brings a 50+ year history of working with municipalities around the country to preserve their historic structures. Together with our proposed subconsultants, our team brings the following specific advantages to the rehabilitation of these important historic structures: + Experienced Team Over the past 50 years, BVH has developed a purpose-driven practice intent on bettering the communities we are fortunate to work in. We understand communities take great pride in their historic buildings because they are an extension of how they feel about their community. BVH and their design team share a belief in the importance of historic preservation and have been working on similar projects around the state for many years. + Project Understanding A successful project will build from the visioning and investigation which has already been undertaken and our team’s goal is to surpass the expectations of the County and the greater Park County community. Our project manager, Ms. Short, is one of the most experienced preservation architects in the state of Colorado— having worked on over 100 historic preservation projects throughout Colorado over the past 20 years. + Preservation Design Skill & Expertise BVH is passionate about preserving buildings that enhance the vitality of communities and continue to serve for years to come. We have further enhanced our team by including JVA Consulting Engineers for civil and structural engineering, 360 Engineering for mechanical and plumbing, IES for electrical engineering, Spectrum General Contractors for cost consulting, DHM Design for landscape design services, geotechnical services with Martinez Engineering, and land surveying with Pinnacle Surveying. We believe this will be a comprehensive team that will successfully plan and design the rehabilitation of the Tarryall-Cline Ranch. Thank you for the opportunity to present our qualifications and submit this proposal. We would be delighted to work with you. Please feel free to contact us if there is any additional information we can provide. Respectfully, Cleve Reeves, AIA Melanie Short, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP Principal-in-Charge Historical Architect, Project Manager BVH Architecture BVH Architecture 01 /

Architectural rehabilitation of the interior and exterior
will be included to bring the building in line with
current requirements for public reuse. This will include
life safety upgrades and accessibility modifications in
line with recommendations contained in the Secretary
of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. Reha-
bilitation work on the exterior will include masonry
restoration at the chimney and porch, stucco and
metal mesh replacement, front porch floor repairs,
restoration of the original roof line, parapets and new
roofing and drainage system. Faux viga replacement
and wood trim to be rehabilitated and painted. Resto-
ration of original doors and windows, including frames,
sashes and hardware will be documented and speci-
fied. Energy efficiency upgrades will include insulation
in walls, ceiling, and storm windows. On the interior
walls, flooring, ceilings, doors and trim will be repaired,
rehabilitated, and refinished. A kitchen and bathrooms
will be incorporated into the floor plan—including an
accessible restroom on the first floor.
It is understood that the building will be rehabilitated
and used for meeting space and offices. As such there
will be a change in use but not a change in Risk Cate-
gory. Therefore, comprehensive upgrading of struc-
tural systems to current Code is not triggered, but it is
understood that the Ranch House is in poor structural

Cost Estimate condition. Based on the findings of the HSA and the pre-proposal site visit, significant structural treatments are anticipated includ- ing the repair of damaged floor framing, strengthening of floor framing to meet the live load requirements accordant with public use, roof framing strengthening, and foundation underpinning or replacement. Structural treatments will conform to the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Proper- ties. Treatments will address damaged and deficient structural systems and bring them into Code compliance for the proposed new use. It is understood that non-contributing additions will be removed. The structural design will address potential minor modifications to accommodate the proposed new uses. Mechanical and plumbing engineering is included. The project intent is to provide an interior rehabilitation of the building and allow for year-round use. The final use of the building is yet to be determined, but uses include a small gathering area, display/in- formation area, and a potential caretaker residence on the upper floor. The new mechanical system shall be for year-round use of the building and provide thermal zoning that separates the main level from the upper level. Mechanical systems shall consider the historic nature of the building and be provided with simple control systems. Plumbing design to 5’-0” outside the building for the water, waste, and gas lines. It is anticipated that a well will be provided on-site (by others) along with a septic system (by others). Based on layout of the building, plumbing fixtures, and intended usage, a daily water usage will be calculated for the well and septic design teams. Electrical engineering for the two story, roughly 2,400 sf ranch house will include lighting, lighting controls, electrical distribution and service, as well as connections to any required equipment such as mechanical units. The electrical design will also provide a performance specification and rough layout for any required fire alarm systems in the building. The fee excludes all other low volt- age systems such as security, access control, audio systems, visu- al systems, and telecom systems. Electrical can provide necessary rough-in for these excluded systems as directed by the owner. Survey and geotechnical engineering would be included in Task 2 and included as a part of the basis-of-design document. These fees are broken out if Park County would prefer to contract for these services separately. Otherwise, BVH will include under their master contract. A fee has not been included for landscape architecture as that scope is not defined in this phase of the RFP. DHM is on board to perform services as needed at their typical hourly rates or as an additional service to this proposal. 06 /
