2013 -2018 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
HOW TO USE THIS DOCUMENT
The City of Boulder's 201 3-2018 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) contains information on how
the city plans to invest available resources into key infrastructure and facilities between 2013 and
2018. This document contains planned project funding summaries organized by department,
project type, and fund; detail sheets for every project and program included in the plan; maps
illustrating the location of projects throughout the city; and narratives describing the rationale
behind project prioritization.
Document Organization
The 2013-2018 CIP has five main parts:
• Introduction
• Funding Summaries
• Special Projects
• Department Projects
• Appendices
Introduction
The Introduction section describes the CIP development process, gives highlights of the CIP, and
summarizes factors that influenced the projects included in the plan.
Funding Summaries
The Funding Summaries section contains analysis of how the 2013-2018 CIP allocates dollars
among city departments, project types, and funds. Full financial detail can be found in the tables
of this section.
Special Projects
The Special Projects sections highlight two major areas of concerted effort by the city in 2013: (a)
Boulder junction and (b) the first year of the Capital Improvement Bond. Each section contains a
narrative describing associated projects and other highlights, as well as a map showing the
location of projects. The Capital Improvement Bond section also contains expanded information
about each project.
Department Projects
The department sections each contain highlights of the department's capital projects and factors
that influenced project selection. Following the narrative, the department sections contain
department funding summaries, maps that identify the locations of department projects, and
project sheets for each of the department's CIP projects.
xii
2013 -2018 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
HOW TO USE THIS DOCUMENT
Appendices
The 2013-2018 CIP contains two appendices. The first appendix contains maps of CIP projects by
area of the city. The second appendix contains a list of unfunded capital projects.
Data Limitations
The 201 3-2018 CIP provides the funding plan (amount needed by year) for each CIP project. That
is, the amounts analyzed in the document's summary sections and in each project sheet refer to
planned budget allocations (sources) instead of expenditures (uses). Only Capital Improvement
Bond projects have actual and planned expenditure reporting.
Future versions of this CIP will migrate expenditure information into all sections of the document
as it becomes available in the city's financial systems. The Capital Improvement Bond section's
project sheets are a preview of how all CIP project sheets will be structured at a later point in time.
How to Read Project Financial Data
The 2013-2018 CIP features a new layout for project information. In particular, each project's
Capital Funding Plan table has a new format compared to what was used in previous CIPs. The new
format of the table brings the CIP in line with formats used to convey financial information in the
city's Operating Budget (Volume I, of the Annual Budget).
The Capital Funding Plan section of the project sheets now consists of three tables:
• Estimated Total Cost
• Capital Funding Plan
• Unfunded Amount
Figure 0-01 shows an example of the new tables. The Estimated Total Cost table shows the total
estimated cost of completing the project. If a project sheet does not have a total cost, then the
sheet is for an ongoing program, and the total cost variable has been omitted.
For most projects in the CIP, the Capital Funding Plan table shows total allocated dollars to the
project prior to 2013 and for each year between 2013 through 2018. However, on-going
programs, because they have typically received funding for many years before 2013, do not have
information about allocated funding prior to 2013. On-going programs also do not have total cost
information. Both blank fields focus the CIP on the coming six years of planned improvements for
each on-going program, and by doing so, the CIP does not expect the on-going program to
account for prior improvements or future improvements well beyond the CIP's planning horizon
that ends in 2018.
xiii
2013 -2018 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
HOW TO USE THIS DOCUMENT
The Unfunded Amount shows the total project cost from the Estimated Total Cost table less the
Total Funding Plan from the Capita/ Funding Plan table. The unfunded amount for projects
typically represents amounts that will be funded in years beyond the current planning horizon of
the CIP.

INTRODUCTION
2013-2018 Capital Improvement program
The City of Boulder's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a six-year plan for maintaining and
enhancing public infrastructure by correcting current facility deficiencies and constructing new
service delivery infrastructure. The CIP provides a forecast of funds available for capital projects
and identifies all planned capital improvement projects and their estimated costs over the six-year
period.
Boulder has invested significant resources in public infrastructure over many years to provide its
current level of municipal services. The city owns and maintains 330 buildings, 1,770 acres of
parkland, 289 centerline miles of streets, three water treatment facilities, 45,405 acres of Open
Space, and 700 miles of water and waste water piping. The city funds the construction and
maintenance of these facilities using a wide range of sources, including dedicated tax revenues,
bond proceeds, and fees. The CIP development process prioritizes the city's numerous capital
needs, bearing in mind the limits of each funding source and the funding commitments made by
prior CIPs and progress made by project teams who design and build the improvements.
The CIP is a comprehensive, six-year funding plan of all rt
city capital priorities. The city has 16 departments with
numerous funding sources that, depending on the year,
may potentially be represented in the CIP. To create a i
citywide understanding of which projects are chosen for
E~1r
inclusion in the CIP, and to ensure individual department 4t~"
1~1 priorities for CIP funding are aligned with city goals, the
City developed nine CIP Guiding Principles to shape capital
planning decisions made throughout the CIP process.
Figure 1-1 lists the CIP Guiding Principles. Construction of Central Park, 1929. Photo Courtesy
the Carnegie Branch Library for Local History
The 2013-2018 CIP includes total funding of $217.80 million for 140 projects. 61 projects are
recommended for funding in 2013, for a one year total of $33.77 million. When Capital
Investment Bond funding is included (see page 69 for an explanation of this voter approved
measure), the six-year total is $266.80 million. Detailed summaries of CIP funding by department
and project type are in the Funding Summaries section following this introduction.
CIP Process
The annual CIP process can be divided into three parts: Planning, Project Review, and Board
Review/City Council Adoption. In each part, the responsibility for coordinating the process
citywide is shared by the city's Department of Community Planning & Sustainability and the
Department of Finance.
1
Introduction
Figure 1-1 : CIP Guiding Principles
The City of Boulder develops a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that addresses the ongoing major
business needs and maintenance and repair of city assets as well as enhancements and expansion
called for in the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan. The CIP is a strategic document that assures that
the municipal organization maintains a strong bond rating, implements community values, and has
fiscal integrity. The City prioritizes its investments both across and within funds based on the following
guiding principles:
1. Capital Improvement Programs should be consistent with and implement Council-accepted master
plans and strategic plans.
2. Capital Improvements should achieve Community Sustainability Goals:
• Environmental - sustainable materials, construction practices, renewable resources, etc.
• Social - enhancements that improve accessibility to city services and resources provided to
the community
• Economic - effective and efficient use of public funds across the community.
3. As potential capital investments are identified, the city must demonstrate in the CIP process that
there are sufficient funds to operate and maintain the project or program.
4. Capital Improvement Programs should provide enough capacity and flexibility in our long-term
planning to be able to respond to emerging, unanticipated needs.
5. Capital Improvement Programs should maintain and enhance the supporting city-wide "business
systems", such as information and finance systems, for the city over the long-term.
6. Capital Improvement Programs should sustain or improve maintenance of existing assets before
investing in new assets.
7. Capital improvements should:
• Meet legal mandates from federal, state, or city levels
• Maintain or improve public safety and security
• Leverage external investments
• Promote community partnerships
• Reduce operating costs and improve efficiency.
8. Capital programming should maximize efficiency of investments demonstrated by measurable cost/
benefit analyses and coordination of projects across departments within and across funds.
9. The Capital Improvement Program should provide sufficient reserves to allow for a sound fiscal
foundation with benefits that include:
• A strong bond rating
• The ability to address emergencies and natural disasters.
2
Introduction
Planning
The first phase of the CIP process is the planning process that identifies and prioritizes the needs
of the community. This is done through the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan, Subcommunity
and area plans, and departmental master plans.
The Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP) is the overarching policy document for the city, and
outlines the vision and policies for growth, development and preservation within the valley. The
BVCP includes specific policies on the orderly and efficient provision of urban facilities and
services, as well as standards for urban services. As defined in the BVCP, subcommunity and area
plans provide more detailed planning for land use, urban design, neighborhood revitalization, and
public facility needs for a specific area of the city.
Departmental master plans include details on necessary projects and a funding plan for the future
provision of services and facilities. Master plans are developed to be consistent with the policies
and the growth projections in the BVCP and typically include level of service standards needed to
meet BVCP goals, policies and system-wide priorities, which in turn help determine the scheduling
and prioritization of capital improvements. Master plans are used by the city during the annual
budget process to identify and prioritize projects. Figure 1 -2 illustrates the relationship between
the CIP and the BVCP, Master Plans, Subcommunity Plans, and Area Plans.
Project Review
The second phase engages each department Figure 1-2: Relationship Between Plans
proposing projects for the CIP in a citywide and the CIP
review process. The first step in this process
is a CIP Information Sharing Meeting held in ~011M SuSta j b
the beginning of the year. This meeting co valley Comprehens ~e
provides an opportunity for departments to OJT A~
discuss projects and proposed changes to Q~ `
their prior year projects as they relate to i
each other and as they may be impacted by
planned private development throughout the Priority- Department Subcommunity
City. Based Strategic/~ and
Budgeting Master Plans Area Plans
Following the CIP Information Sharing
Meeting, the departments add, update, and Development
Operating Capital Improvements Standards
revise proposed CIP projects and submit this Budget Program and zoning
information for review by the CIP Peer
Review Team (PRT). The PRT is a multi-department staff committee that is tasked with reviewing
proposed CIP projects for coordination, major policy or budget concerns, and consistency with the
CIP Guiding Principles. PRT comments are relayed back to departments for consideration as the
departments prepare their proposed projects for the CIP.
3
Introduction
After the PRT's review of projects, the city's Executive Budget Team also reviews the project
information and provides feedback to departments before departments propose projects for
inclusion in the draft CIP.
Board Review and City Council Adoption
The final phase in the CIP process involves the review of the draft CIP by department advisory
boards, the Planning Board, and City Council. Department advisory boards review their
department's proposed CIP projects throughout the late spring and early summer and make
recommendations to the Planning Board and City Council.
Section 78 of the City Charter calls for the city Planning Department to prepare the annual CIP with
other city departments for submittal to the City Manager. The Planning Board evaluates and makes
recommendations to the City Manager and City Council on the draft CIP as part of the annual
budget process. The Planning Board's review of the CIP includes the relationship of projects to the
policies of the BVCP, subcommunity plans, area plans and departmental master plans.
City Council reviews the draft CIP in August, and provides feedback to the City Manager prior to
final budget development. The City Council appropriates funds for the first year of the CIP in its
budget ordinances each year. While Colorado state law limits appropriations to the first year of
the CIP, the succeeding five years of the annual CIP are important in providing a longer-term plan
for setting funding priorities, scheduling projects in a logical sequence, and coordinating and
targeting capital improvements for all city departments.

Introduction
Challenges
Each year, as the CIP is being updated, City Council, advisory boards, and staff consider technical,
environmental, and financial challenges that could potentially limit the ability of the city to fund
its priority projects. Challenges being identified in the
201 3-2018 CIP include revenue reduction, construction cost
inflation, new infrastructure requiring operational funding, ` E
unfunded projects, and expiring revenues. IF
Revenue Reduction
The recessions that occurred starting in 2001 and 2008 were L 1
of such magnitude that capital funding for needs in areas r}
such as the general fund, which do not have dedicated
capital funding sources, were minimized.
Construction Cost Inflation
The cost of construction continues to rise. The Engineering New city street cleaner, 1926. Photo Courtesy the Car-
News Record Construction Cost Index for Denver and the negie Branch Library for Local History
Colorado Department of Transportation Colorado Construction Cost Index indicate that
construction costs are escalating at a rate of 4%, based on a five year rolling average. Previous
budget cycles used a 3% cost inflation rate. A higher cost escalator will reduce the amount of
work that can be done with planned revenues, in particular, over the planning horizon of the CIP.
New Infrastructure Requires Operational Funding
While the dedication of certain funding streams by the voters has provided stable funding for
some capital needs, these revenues have not always provided sufficient funds to support costs.
For some projects, sufficient capital funds have been accumulated to build the project, but
insufficient operating dollars have put the project on hold until ongoing funding can be identified.
Unfunded Projects
The city continues to have a large number of unfunded needs. As part of the City's Capital
Investment Strategy that led to the ballot measure on the 2011 Capital Improvement Bond,
departments were asked to provide a comprehensive list of unfunded needs. The CIP process will
continue to collect and analyze current needs, unfunded needs and the related operating costs
associated with capital improvements.
Expiring Revenues
Over the next three years, the city faces the two expiring revenues. Its Climate Action Plan tax
expires in 2012, and the Parks and Recreation .25% sales tax is set to expire in 2015. If these
revenues are not renewed by voters, the reduction in available resources could impact planned CIP
funding in selected categories.
5
Introduction
Opportunities
Similar to the challenges facing capital funding each year, there are issues that are positively
impacting the city's capital investment performance. Opportunities identified in the 2013-2018
CIP include the Capital Investment Strategy, a new role for the CIP Peer Review Team, and local
market conditions characterized by lower bids and low inflation.
Capital Investment Strategy
The city continuously evaluates its services and programs to find ways to continue
to better provide core and enhanced services to residents and businesses. The
Blue Ribbon Commission I (BRC I) report highlighted that some of the greatest
identified critical deficiencies were in building maintenance and replacement, fire
apparatus replacement, and major software replacement.
The CIP covers projects identified for funding each year, there remains a large list of unfunded capital projects in various master plans. In an effort to evaluate
expanded investment in the city's capital infrastructure, a Capital Investment CAPITAL
Strategy (CIS) was created. The strategy utilized funding from de-Bruced
revenues, funding that recently retired capital debt, revenues from the original
rate of accommodations tax, and other budget savings. BOND
In 201 1 , voters approved Measure 2A and authorized the city to use these revenues to repay up to
$49 million in bonds funding the highest priority capital needs. The new infusion of capital
funding will address numerous citywide significant deficiencies and some high priority action
items. While the bond measure will help the city catch up on many significant deficiencies and
some high-priority action items, long-term funding challenges remain. For more information, see
the special highlight section on the Capital Improvement Bond.
The CIS Round 1 and Round 2 processes provide multiple benefits to the city including enhanced
coordination across departments, refining priorities across the city and generating input from
community members. The city is committed to quality and timely implementation of the Capital
Improvement Bond (Round 1) projects, building credibility and confidence in the community as
well as to apply lessons learned to future prioritization efforts, Master Plan updates, and the Civic
Area plan.
CIP Peer Review Team
In early 2012, the CIP Peer Review Team (PRT) was created to assist departments with the
prioritization of projects with a focus on the following three methods:
• Institutionalize the use of the CIP Guiding Principles (See Figure 1-1)
• Implement incremental steps that to better structure or define the CIP and CIP process
• Identify potential major budget issues, city-wide policy issues, opportunities for project
coordination, and major project conflicts.
6
Introduction
The PRT puts the resulting CIP on a foundation better aligned with citywide priorities. A key
benefit of the PRT is the expansion of future opportunities for different types of projects to be
included in the CIP, projects for which funding was not available in prior years. Furthermore, the
PRT is striving to apply lessons learned from the CIS to consider capital projects across the city
business and service areas.
Lower Bids/Low Inflation
The downturn in the cost of construction projects experienced in the past two years has helped
stretch the dollars that have been allocated to capital projects and programs. For example, in
2006, bids for the per foot price for waterline replacement came in at $128.97. In 2012, the price
was $105.46.
2012 Accomplishments
The city anticipates completing a significant number of capital projects in
2012, and details are provided below. Further details on accomplishments
are listed in the department overviews. In 201 1 , voters approved the sale
of up to $49 million of Capital Improvement Bonds to fund multiple capital
needs throughout the city. Projects funded with these bonds are included
in this list and discussed in more detail in the Capital Improvement Bond r'
section. _

Implementation of Subcommunity and Area Plans
0
0
North Boulder Subcommunity Plan
The North Boulder Subcommunity Plan (NoBo Plan) was adopted by the
city in 1995 and amended in 1996 and 1997, and covers 2,300 acres. Its
AIT.
creation was precipitated by the significant amount of development and
redevelopment that was expected in North Boulder which, at the time,
contained nearly half of the city's vacant residential land and several r rb"t{ '-x'r►t~`
prominent vacant or under-developed commercial sites.
Much of the planning area has now been developed or is approved for
development, and a significant number of capital improvements have
been made in the area, including installation of bike lanes and bike paths
"i'~ {
throughout the subcommunity, and installation of Violet Park west of
Broadway. Foothills Community Park has been developed. Three North Boulder Subcommunity Plan
neighborhood pocket parks have been acquired and flood and greenway
improvements have been made to implement the plan.
10
Introduction
Proposed capital improvements in the next six years include:
• Development of Elks Neighborhood Park, coordinated with Greenways and Flood
Improvements along Fourmile Canyon Creek
• Wonderland Creek Flood and Greenways Improvements
• Flood and Greenways improvements along Fourmile Canyon Creek.
Boulder Junction
The Boulder junction area includes the Transit Village Area Plan (TVAP), adopted by the city in
2008, which covers 160 acres. The area is located in the geographic center of the community,
and was developed in anticipation of significant redevelopment due to the development of new
RTD bus and rail transit stations, development of city-owned property as a transit-oriented mixed
use neighborhood, and revitalization of the former Crossroads Mall into Twenty Ninth Street.
Implementation of the plan has just begun, with the first two private development projects in
review or approved by the city.
Proposed capital improvements in the next six years include:
• Enhancements to be coordinated with development projects
• Construction of junction Place north and south of Pearl Parkway
• Boulder junction pocket park
• Redevelopment of Pearl Parkway into a multi-way
boulevard
• Construction of the bridge over Goose Creek
• Installation of new traffic signals. _ °

Gunbarrel Community Center Area Plan
The Gunbarrel Community Center Plan was adopted in 2004, and Rendering of the approved Gunbarrel Town Center
amended in 2006. The purpose of the Gunbarrel Community
Center Plan is to provide a blueprint for the Gunbarrel commercial area that will result in a viable
and vibrant, easily accessible, pedestrian-oriented center to serve the Gunbarrel subcommunity.
The Gunbarrel Town Center project has been approved, which is a key implementation step for the
plan. A total of 251 residential housing units and 22,000 square feet of non-residential space will
be constructed. Several public infrastructure improvements will be constructed by the developer
in conjunction with this project, including:
• A multi-use path along Lookout Road
• A new street connecting Lookout Road and Gunpark Drive with on-street parking.
11
Introduction
Downtown Boulder
The final report of the Downtown Alliance in 1997 articulated a vision for Downtown Boulder.
While significant private and public investment has occurred since that time, continued
investments in the Downtown are needed to ensure that the area remains a primary community
gathering place, business and commercial center, and tourism attraction.
Investments made in the Downtown are an inter-departmental effort. In the next six years, the
following investments are planned:
• Ongoing parking garage maintenance
• 14th Street Parking lot improvements
• Streetscape enhancements leading to Pearl Street
• Pearl Street Mall irrigation.
Projects Recommended for CEAP
The City of Boulder assesses potential impacts of conceptual project alternatives in order to
inform the selection and refinement of a preferred alternative. The evaluation of these alternatives
is known as a Community and Environmental Assessment Process or CEAP.
CEAP reviews are prepared when projects are in the site location and facility design phase. The
primary purpose of the CEAP is to encourage the consideration of potential social and
environmental impacts in planning and decision making and, ultimately, to arrive at actions that
achieve the objectives of the project with the fewest impacts. The intent of the CEAP is to make
project planning more efficient by considering issues in advance of implementation.
All CEAPs include an analysis of the project and alternatives, including how the project will further
implement the BVCP, master plan goals, or subcommunity or area plans. The alternatives are then
analyzed through a checklist of impacts to: natural areas or features, riparian areas/floodplains,
wetlands, geology & soils, water quality, air quality, resource conservation, cultural/ historic
resources, visual quality, safety, physiological well-being, urban services, special populations, and
the economy.
The Appendix to Title 2 of the Boulder Revised Code instructs that major capital improvement
projects should be handled in accordance with the City Plans and Projects Handbook, dated
November 2007.
The 2007 Handbook provides the that a project should be evaluated through a CEAP if it meets
any of the following criteria:
• A project or a potential alternative could have a significant impact on an environmental,
social, or cultural resource and the project would benefit from a CEAP;
• The project is anticipated to generate enough neighborhood or community input to require
a public hearing or board review;
12
Introduction
• There is more than one possible conceptual alternative that will require staff or community
input in the selection; or
• The project requires alternatives analysis as part of internal or external permitting and
review processes at the local, county (1041), state, or federal level (NEPA).
An internal city CEAP should be performed prior to submitting for a local permit or to the external
agency. Annually, the list of Capital Projects is reviewed by the internal city CEAP review group,
and the group discusses projects that may need a CEAP. Projects that require Concept and Site
Plan Review do not go through the CEAP and are not reviewed by the CEAP Review Group.
CEAP findings are submitted by departments to their respective advisory board for review as part
of CIP project approval. For those departments that do not have an advisory board, the Planning
Board is responsible for reviewing CEAP findings as part of project approval. Council has the
opportunity to call up projects for their review and approval.
The following capital improvement projects proposed for funding in the 201 3-2018 CIP are
recommended to complete a Community and Environmental Assessment Process (CEAP).

CIP Process Changes and Roadmap
Over the past three years, changes were steadily made to the CIP to improve how the CIP is
developed and presented. During creation of the 2011 -2016 CIP, the city revised and restructured
the document, and developed guiding principles to influence the selection of projects. These
principles addressed a long-term approach to improving and sustaining the quality of city assets
and establish a universal system of capital project evaluation and prioritization across the
organization. Rather than focusing only on new projects, the principles prioritize investing first in
existing assets.
Improvements continued during the creation of the 2012-2017 CIP with the increased utilization
of the Guiding Principles across the organization, the incorporation of budget appropriation
information in the document, and the development of a more comprehensive unfunded project
list. The City also developed a practical funding strategy for funding major capital needs through
the issuance of the $49 million Capital Improvement Bond.
Process improvements have continued with the development of the 2013-2018 CIP. To improve
the connection between the CIP and the Operating Budget, financial information was aligned with
practices used in the Operating Budget. In addition, a CIP Peer Review Team was also created to
review all CIP projects. This interdepartmental staff committee was tasked with reviewing the
draft CIP through the following lenses:
• Continue to institutionalize the use of the CIP Guiding Principles;
• Consider and implement incremental steps to better restructure or define the CIP and CIP
processes; and
• Identify potential major budget issues, city-wide policy issues, opportunities for project
coordination, and major project conflicts.
The CIP PRT met multiple times throughout the spring and early summer of 2012 to review the
proposed 2013-2018 CIP projects and to discuss new features and enhancements for the plan.
Other changes in the 2013-2018 CIP include new layouts for the Capital Funding Plan tables
within project information sheets, special sections to highlight major initiatives such as the Capital
Improvement Bond and Boulder junction, and additional tables and maps to present a richer
collection of project information.
The city will continue to make improvements to the CIP in future years. Changes planned for the
2014-2019 CIP include the addition of project expenditure and schedule information (see Figure
1-4).

FUNDING SUMMARIES
2013-2018 Capital Improvement program
The Funding Summaries section provides full detail of the city's CIP budget needs from 2013
through 2018 by department, project type, and fund. For each of the three funding views, the
following information is shown:
• Total project cost
• Planned funding allocation in each year 2013-2018 and the six-year total
• Prior funded amount
• Unfunded amount
The Funding Summaries focus on estimated budget needs (sources) for all projects. The CIP this
year shows limited instances of planned or actual expenditures at a project, department, or fund
level. In practice, as projects are planned, designed, and constructed, during any given year,
appropriated project sources almost always differ from project expenditures. In some
circumstances, such as a large project that requires many years of accumulated funds before
design or construction can commence, expenditures may significantly lag appropriations. Future
CIPs will migrate expenditure data as it becomes available into project sheets and the Funding
Summary section.

Figure 2-1 shows total CIP funding for 2013 through 2018. Slightly higher funding is appropriate
in 2013 is because of Federal transportation grants. The increase in funding in 2016 is associated
with planned work at the Betasso Water Treatment Facility, and the increase in 2018 is associated
with work being performed on both the Carter Lake Pipeline and Barker Dam.

FUNDING BY DEPARTMENT
2013-2018 Capital Improvement program
The following city departments are participating in the 201 3-2018 CIP:
• Downtown / University Hill Management Department (DUHMD)-Parking Services
• Information Technology (Information Services)
• Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP)
• Parks and Recreation
• Public Works (PW) - Facilities Asset Management (FAM) and Fleet
• PW-Municipal Airport
• PW-Stormwater and Flood Management Utility
• PW-Transportation
• PW-Greenways
• PW-Wastewater Utility
• PW-Water Utility
The Water and Wastewater Utility departments have the greatest allocations of resources in the
2013-2018 CIP. Major renovations to water facilities are primarily responsible for the large spikes
in allocations during 2016 and 2018. Transportation also has a large allocation of CIP investment.
The spikes in 2013 and 2014 for this department are associated with federal transportation
grants.
Many departments have dedicated revenue sources that keep their CIP funding relatively constant.
For example, both Open Space & Mountain Parks and Parks & Recreation have dedicated revenue
sources, and their CIP funding remains relatively constant throughout 2013-2018.
Figure 2-2 displays the share of total 201 3-201 8 CIP spending on each department.

City of Boulder
FUNDING BY FUND
2013-2018 Capital Improvement program
One or more of the following 16 funds and funding sources are proposed for the CIP projects:
• .25 Cent Sales Tax Fund
• Airport Fund
• Boulder junction Improvement Fund
• Capital Development Fund
• Downtown Commercial District Fund
• Facility Renovation and Replacement Fund
General Fund
• Greenways
• Lottery Fund
• Open Space Fund
• Permanent Parks and Recreation Fund
Stormwater Utility Fund
• Transportation Development Fund
• Transportation Fund
• Wastewater Utility Fund
• Water Utility Fund
Detailed descriptions of all of the city's funds are available in the Introduction section of the 2013
Annual Budget - Volume 1. Many of the funds exist to handle dedicated revenues that can only be
used for specific types of capital projects. These restrictions provide consistency in planning for
project types, but also requires the city to allocate resources to a specific category of
infrastructure and maintain existing priorities.
Similar to the department distributions described earlier in this section, the Transportation,
Wastewater Utility, and Water Utility Funds are the largest contributors to the city's 2013-2018
CIP.
Figure 2-4 shows the distribution of six year funding by fund.

City of Boulder
SPECIAL HIGHLIGHT ON
BOULDER JUNCTION
2013 - 2018 Capital Improvement Program
Boulder junction
The Boulder junction area is located near the geographic center of the community. In addition to
the close proximity to the shopping and entertainment at Twenty Ninth Street, the area benefits
from valuable connections to natural amenities and employment. The Goose Creek Greenway
runs through the site and provides pedestrian and bike connectivity to employment centers and
Valmont Park to the east, and the Mapleton Ballfields to the west.
Pearl Street intersects with the west boundary of the area, providing Transit Village Area Plan
connection between Boulder junction and downtown.
Plan Overview - ebt '
The Transit Village Area Plan (TVAP), which covers 160 acres within
d..
Boulder junction, was originally adopted in September 2007. The plan
outlines a vision for the area, and then provides goals and objectives w<-t
to achieve this vision. A separate implementation document ''Jt',`.
complements the area plan, separating the plan into two phases by
geographic area, enumerating actions and work program tasks the city
should take to advance the plan's goals and objectives.
September 2001 At
Vision
The City Council and Planning Board formally adopted the following
vision early in the planning process to provide direction for the development of the plan:
• A lively and engaging place with a diversity of uses, including employment, retail, arts and
entertainment, with housing that serves a diversity of ages, incomes, and ethnicities
• A place that is not overly planned, with a "charming chaos" that exhibits a variety of
building sizes, styles, and densities where not everything looks the same
• A place with both city-wide and neighborhood-scale public spaces
• A place that attracts and engages a broad spectrum of the community, not just people who
live and work here or come to access the transit in the area
• A place that emphasizes and provides for alternative energy, sustainability, walking, biking
and possible car-free areas, e.g. "eco-village."
The vision responded to the existing conditions of the area with a more sustainable, more urban
future characterized by higher density mixed-use, multi-modal development as a "neighborhood
and a destination." Urban design strategies in the plan focus on inclusive public spaces that bring
55
Special Highlight on Boulder junction
historic attractions, human-scale amenities, and alternative transit modes together to provide
diverse housing, new retail, and jobs to the area.
Chapter 6 of the TVAP describes the public improvements necessary for the implementation of the
plan, including the key public improvements for Phase 1, which is the area from Valmont Road
south to the Boulder Slough and 30th Street to the railroad tracks. A key implementation action
was to establish a financing method for the key public improvements, recognizing that the city
would need to upfront the money for several of the improvements.
The 2007 Implementation plan included the key public improvements the city would invest in over
time and in partnership with private redevelopment. With the recent passage of the Capital
Improvement Bond in November 2011, new federal Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
grant funding and the private development that is currently underway, the original funding
approach for the city's share of key public improvements and the timing of construction changed.
The original list of key public improvements in the TVAP was limited by the anticipated revenues
available. Specific department CIP budgets were established to help pay for or enhance
improvements in coordination with private development (such as Depot Square), with funding
coming from various development-related fees and taxes in
the area. With the recent passage of the Capital Improvement - -
Bond ballot initiative, an additional $5.06 million has been
allocated to help pay for various transportation improvements
in the area. Additionally, multiple projects were submitted to a
DRCOG as part of the TIP application process. The city was
awarded a federal grant of $3.29 million, to go along with an
allocation of $824,000 in matching city transportation funds.
The city will continue to pursue opportunities for federal aid
transportation grants to help fund infrastructure needs in
Boulder junction.
20th Street Transportation Improvements were com-
The following public improvements have been completed in the pleted in 2011
Boulder junction area:
• 30th Street Improvements (Completed 2011)
This project added bike lanes on 30th Street from Arapahoe Avenue to Pearl Street; a new
bridge and pedestrian/ bicycle underpass on 30th Street at Boulder Left Hand and North
Boulder Farmer's ditch (just south of Pearl Street); new multi-use path connection between
the east side of 30th Street and Goose Creek Greenway (the path connection on the west
side already exists); mid-block pedestrian crossings on 30th Street between Canyon
Boulevard and Walnut Street and between Pearl Street and Goose Creek Greenway; an
additional left turn lane for northbound 30th Street at Pearl Street; a 10-foot wide sidewalk
on the east side of 30th Street from Arapahoe Avenue to Walnut Street; transit stop
56
Special Highlight on Boulder junction
amenities and urban streetscape improvements in portions of the corridor; and
undergrounded portions of the power line on the east side of 30th Street.
Total Project Cost: $9.1 million ($6.3 million federal, $2.8 million local)
• Relocation of the Historic Boulder Jaycees Depot (Completed 2008)
The 1 890 Union Pacific train depot was relocated to the Boulder junction area in 2008,
through a partnership with Regency Retail partners, the owners of the Crossroads
Commons shopping center, and the Boulder Jaycees, who was the owner of the building.
- Originally located at 14th St. and Canyon Blvd, the depot
_ was sold by the city to the Boulder Jaycees, who
relocated it to the then Pow Pow Rodeo fairgrounds at
30th & Pearl Streets. Over time the fairgrounds were
replaced by the Crossroads Commons shopping center,
and for many years a more appropriate setting was
desired for the depot. As part of the redevelopment of
;r.
the shopping center, the city agreed to relocate the
building to the city-owned property at Boulder junction.
Relocation of the Depot on Oct. 2, 2008 The building has been included in the development of
the Depot Square project, and will be restored and
occupied by a restaurant tenant.
Total Project Cost: $750,000.
The following public improvements are proposed for construction in the next few years:
• Pearl Parkway Multi-way Boulevard
Recent redevelopment initiatives in the Boulder junction area (30th Street and Pearl Streets)
have presented an opportunity to construct improvements along Pearl Parkway from 30th
Street to the railroad tracks that are pedestrian friendly, multimodal, and integrate parking
to create an enhanced "sense of place" that is more supportive of the future adjacent
mixed-use development pattern. A new street design has been developed and
construction of the multi-way boulevard street design will occur in sections beginning with
construction of the south side of Pearl Parkway from 30th Street east to 3100 Pearl in the
Fall of 2012. The south side improvements are funded by the 2011 voter-approved
Capital Improvement Bond. Detailed information on this project can be found in the
Transportation section.
Total Project Cost: $2 to 2.5 million.
• junction Place Pearl to Goose Creek Enhancements
As the new junction Place street is being designed and constructed, enhancements will be
funded by the city such as bike lanes, street and sidewalk surface materials, landscaping,
streetscape elements, and other possible items. These enhancements will be coordinated
with the required construction of this section of Junction Place by the adjacent developer.
57
Special Highlight on Boulder junction
This project is anticipated to begin in 2013. Detailed information on this project can be
found in the Transportation section.
Total Project Cost: $1.1 million.
• junction Place Bridge at Goose Creek
A new bridge will connect junction Place to 33rd Street, on the east side of the Steelyards
development, and is a key public improvement in phase 1 of the Transit Village Area Plan.
The project will also include multi-use path connections to the Goose Creek path. Design
for the bridge is currently underway. This project is funded by the 2011 voter-approved
Capital Improvement Bond. Detailed information on this project can be found in the
project information sheet at the end of this section.
Total Project Cost: $2.56 million.
• New traffic signals
Traffic signals will be installed at the intersection of Bluff Street & 30th Street and junction
Place & Valmont Road. These projects are anticipated to begin in 2017. Detailed
information on this project can be found in the Transportation section.
Total Project Cost: $228,000 (Bluff & 30th) and $304,000 (Junction PI & Valmont).
• Multi-use paths
A new multi-use path will be constructed on the north side of Pearl Parkway, consisting of
the portion of the proposed Pearl Multiway Boulevard (30th-railroad) and a minimum 10 ft
wide, multi-use path extending from the railroad to Foothills Parkway. This project helps
to fund the path that is adjacent to the housing and the RTD parcels on Boulder junction
adjacent to Pearl Street. The city received federal funding in the last DRCOG TIP cycle for
the 2011 to 2013 funding years. Project construction is expected to begin in early 2013.
Detailed information on this project can be found in the Transportation section.
Total Project Cost: $5 million ($4 million federal).
• Boulder junction Pocket Park
This project is a long range infill redevelopment that will include civic public space and a
pocket park. Proposed improvements include land acquisition for the 3/-acre civic park,
the construction of a Goose Creek multi-use path connection, grading and drainage
improvements, hardscape pavers, retaining walls, landscape, irrigation and civic park
amenities. The project began in 2011 and is anticipated to complete construction in 2018.
Detailed information on this project can be found in the Parks & Recreation section.
The projected total project cost is $1.64 million.

SPECIAL HIGHLIGHT ON
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BOND
2013-2018 Capital Improvement Program
Introduction
The Special Highlight on the Capital Improvement Bond section details a significant, multi-
department, capital improvement effort currently underway in the City of Boulder. This section
includes information on the Capital Improvement Bond issuance, projects funded by the bond,
efforts underway by staff to manage these projects, and the next steps in this process. A map of
the location of bond projects and project sheets are also included in this section.
Overview of Capital Investment Strategy and Capital Improvement Bond Implementation
In the November 2011 election, City of Boulder voters approved a measure, by a 3-to-1 margin,
that would allow the city to leverage existing revenues to bond for up to $49 million to fund
capital projects that address significant deficiencies and high priority infrastructure improvements
throughout the community. Because the city was able to leverage existing revenues, the measure
did not raise taxes.
To help determine which projects should be part of the 2011 bond package, the city manager
appointed a 16-member Capital Investment Strategy stakeholder committee in May, 2011. The
committee finalized its recommendations July 1111, 201 1 , which was unanimously supported by City
Council and approved by voters. The bond will pay for a list of necessary but previously unfunded
projects like roadway repair and reconstruction, park infrastructure improvements, critical
software updates, police equipment replacement, installation of missing links in the bike and
pedestrian network, and more.
The bond requires that 85 percent of the $49 million be spent in three years (by March 22, 2015).
The bond also requires that the funds be used for capital
improvement projects that include: Highlights at a Glance
• Repairing and maintaining streets and pathways
• Repairing and replacing structurally deficient bridges and • 26 categories containing a
structures total of 89 individual projects:
• Completing missing links in the transportation system * 79 in design & planning
• Repairing and renovating aging city facilities phase
• Replacing and modernizing core service computer software • 8 under construction
• Modernizing basic police and fire safety facilities and • 2 completed
• 10% of total funding spent
equipment
• Renovating and repairing parks and recreation facilities towards 85% goal as of July
• Renovating portions of the main library 2012
• Improving connections and streetscapes downtown.

Capital Improvement Bond
As a result, the city is implementing 89 individual projects throughout the community that are
funded by the bond. On Jan. 30, 2012, the city broke ground on the first bond project, a multi-
use path connection along the south side of Baseline, near the University of Colorado's Williams
Village complex. Throughout the next few years, there will be more construction and
improvements occurring along roadways, bike paths, in city buildings and in parks. A website has
been created that allows the community to track the progress of implementation of the bond
projects at www.bouldercolorado.gov/ bond projects.
Background on Bond Issuance
On February 21, 2012, City Council approved Ordinance No. 7236, which authorized the City of
Boulder to issue $49 million of General Fund
bonds for the purpose of funding capital i,~.
improvement projects. The bond sale was
completed March 22, 2012 using the
competitive process required by the City
Charter to sell the bonds. The $49 million of E~; a
bonds have a 20-year payback and 85 percent -
of the total of the bonds is required to be spent
by March 22, 2015.
Due to market conditions at the time that the r,.
bonds were sold, the lowest conforming bid
with best advantage for the city paid a-
"premium" to purchase the bonds. The City has
received a premium on other past bond issues. Groundbreaking of the first Capital Improvement Bond project in
A premium occurs when a purchaser is willing January 2012
to pay more than the face amount of bonds,
and in this case, the purchaser was willing to pay an additional $5.83 million to buy the bonds.
This $5.83 million does not count against the voted par amount of $49 million debt issuance. The
$5.83 million is, however, subject to the federal tax laws governing the City's issuance and does
count toward the requirement that 85% of the total ($54.83 million) be spent by March 22, 2015.
The premium is currently being held in reserve. It is anticipated that increments of this extra
money will be released over time for either unanticipated expenses for current projects or
completing additional projects permitted within the parameters of the bond documents.
Project Highlights and Status
There are 89 individual projects that are being implemented with the bond funds. The individual
projects are grouped into 26 categories which are briefly described below along with the current
status of the projects as of July 2012. Details related to each category are provided in project
information sheets later in this section of the CIP document.

Capital Improvement Bondt
1. Boulder Reservoir Infrastructure Improvements: Includes improving the entry gate, roadway,
parking lot, utility infrastructure, and grounds and landscape. Currently, the city is preparing
to initiate construction of the new Gateway Enhancement project at the main Reservoir
entrance at 51 st Street that will provide improved traffic access, new entry buildings and an
improved inspection station for Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS). This fall, major utility
upgrades will be constructed at the South Shore to improve the water and sanitary sewer
facilities at the reservoir.
2. Columbia Cemetery Upgrades and Enhancements: Includes constructing new fencing, repairing
headstones and improving irrigation. Currently, a new fence is under construction along the
west property boundary in keeping with the historic quality of the cemetery. The next phase of
construction will include installation of a new raw-water irrigation system to improve water
conservation and efficiency.
3. Park Shelter Replacements and Improvements: Includes maintaining existing park shelters and
providing critical shade amenities within multiple parks. Currently, shade shelters are under
construction at Valmont City Park and new shade structures will be installed at Foothills Dog
Park this fall.
4. Existing Park and Recreation Facility Renovations: Includes addressing ongoing maintenance
and accessibility while improving the overall safety and enjoyment of park facilities. Currently,
Canyon Park, Columbine Park and East Palo Park are under construction with improvements
ranging from turf and irrigation renovations, playground replacement, accessibility compliance
and replacement of park amenities. This fall, staff will be engaging neighborhoods in
discussions related to the next phase of park renovations that will be constructed in 2013.
5. South Boulder Recreation Center Floor Replacement: Includes replacing water-damaged
wooden floor at the South Boulder Recreation Center (SBRC) gym and racquetball courts.
During the design and investigative stages in January 2012, low levels of mercury and lead
contamination were found in the underlying floor membrane in the gym, racquetball and
Pilates rooms. Although posing no immediate risks to patrons and staff, it was decided to
remove the old flooring system in all three rooms. The floor has been replaced and is open for
use by the community. The project will be completed in early fall with the final phase of the
project providing necessary ADA compliance upgrades that will allow full access to the new
gym floor by all members of the community. This work will occur during the break between
summer and fall recreation programs in order to minimally disrupt use of the facility. (Note:
original project cost was estimated at $700,000 but was increased to $450,000.)
6. Downtown Commercial District Improvements: Includes public right-of-way enhancements to
downtown commercial district and Pearl Street Mall. Design work is currently being done with
stakeholders (including students from Boulder High School) for 1 5th Street between Arapahoe
and Canyon to improve pedestrian accessibility as well as streetscape character. Initial
stakeholder input has been received for streetscape improvements on Pearl Street from 11 th to
63
Capital Improvement Bond
8th Streets. One of the priorities will be to enhance the pedestrian crossing at 10th Street. An
interdepartmental city team and Convention and Visitors Bureau staff are working jointly to
place interactive kiosks for public use on the Pearl Street Mall and potentially at other
locations. The Convention and Visitors Bureau will pay for the technology and maintain the
kiosks. The city will pay for the infrastructure, which will replace existing telephone booths on
the mall.
7. Main Library Renovation: Includes three critical renovations and improvements to the Main
Library: (a) new children's library to be located in the area near and including the Boulder
Creek Room; (b) new teen space; and (c) improved access and browsing area for fiction,
movies and music collections near the main entrance on Arapahoe Avenue. The plans for
project design and associated public engagement are under development.
8. Replace Financial and Human Resources Software: Includes a comprehensive needs
assessment was completed in December 2011 and a resulting Request for Proposals (RFP) was
issued with a due date of June 28, 2012. Current plans call for the city to select a vendor and
begin implementation by January 2013 with a system go-live date in late-201 4.
9. Major Business Software Replacement: Includes replacing and augmenting major business
software, such as asset/ maintenance management, records management, website/eGov, and
permit systems. Specifications for the asset/ maintenance management system are being
considered with the financial/HR system RFP. An implementation plan for the records
management software is being completed and implementation is anticipated to begin during
fourth quarter 2012 and extend to third quarter 2014. A vendor is currently engaged to
redesign the city's website, and the city has executed an agreement to work cooperatively with
the City of Arvada to co-support their web content management system, resulting in the
planned release of a new city website by year-end. In addition, a web-based Constituent
Relationship Management (CRM) system has been selected with implementation also planned
by the end of the current year. An internal needs assessment is underway. The procurement
process for the permit system replacement is planned to be complete by the end of first
quarter 2013. It is anticipated that the implementation will take from 12-18 months.
10. Facility Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC and Elevator Replacements: Includes infrastructure
replacement for overdue replacement and repair projects such as at the Public Safety Building,
Municipal Building, Main Library, Dairy Center, and Fleet Services. Design for these projects is
underway as part of the city's Energy Performance Contract, with the exception of the elevator
repairs at the Public Safety Building and Main Library which were advertised for proposals in
June 2012.
11. Facility Parking Lot Repair: Includes repair and complete maintenance needs for some of the
city's asphalt parking areas, including downtown facilities and fire stations. The 20 parking
lots to be repaired in 2012 include lots in the downtown campus area, the fire stations, Spruce
Pool, Reynolds Library, Harbeck House, and the Dairy Center. Repair estimates have been
64
Capital Improvement Bond
received from an asphalt repair company and are being scheduled for the summer and fall
seasons. This work will be awarded as part of a regional contract to improve efficiency and
coordination with ADA compliance work.
12. Facility Outdoor Lighting: Includes parking lot lights in the public lot next to the Park Central
building at the corner of Broadway and Arapahoe. This funding will provide for a solar canopy,
car charging, and lighting projects, which would eliminate electrical conduit runs. Work will be
accomplished in 2012.
13. Facility ADA Compliance: Includes adapting potentially up to 56 city facilities that do not meet
the 2010 requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This project will be
coordinated with the parking lot repair project in 2012 and 2013. So far, two facilities have
been assessed for comprehensive ADA compliance, and recommendations are being
prioritized.
14. New Wildland Fire Station: Includes consolidating the operations of the Boulder Fire-Rescue
Department's Wildland Fire personnel into one facility from the three facilities they currently
use. An architectural firm selection is in-progress to develop the building design. For the
remainder of 2012, design and development review are planned. Construction is scheduled to
start in early to mid-2013.
15. Replace Substandard Bridges, Structures, Signs and Systems: Includes the replacement of the
63rd Street Bridge, irrigation system replacement on the Foothills Parkway landscaping,
replacement of substandard signs and the replacement of signal light bulbs with LED lights.
The Foothills irrigation system replacement between Colorado and US 36 is being designed
and construction will start later this year. The substandard sign installations have started and
all of the traffic signal lighting (red, yellow and green) has been replaced with LED displays.
16. Arterial Road Reconstruction: Arapahoe is the arterial in highest need of reconstruction. The
funding dedicated for this category will allow the worst sections of Arapahoe to be
reconstructed. Design and public process are underway for the section of Arapahoe from
Folsom to 17th Street and available money will dictate the length of roadway that can be
completed.
17. Road Pavement Repair: Includes overlay and chip seal of various streets throughout the city.
Approximately one-third of the funds will be spent each year to overlay approximately 50
blocks, or 5.5 miles, of roadway, in addition to the city's annual repair schedule.
18. Road Reconstruction: Includes reconstruction of streets that rate below 25 that are mostly
lower volume streets and cul-de-sacs. Approximately one-third of the funds will be spent
each year to reconstruct approximately 14 blocks, or approx 1.5 miles of roadway, in addition
to the city's annual reconstruction schedule.
19. Transportation Boulder junction Improvements: Includes the Junction Place Bridge at Goose
65
Capital Improvement Bond
Creek and the Pearl Parkway Multi-Way Boulevard from 30th to BNSF Railroad tracks on the
south side of Pearl. The south side of Pearl Parkway design is completed, and construction is
planned to start later this year. The junction Place Bridge at Goose Creek is being designed.
20. Transportation Transit System Enhancements: Includes two projects, the largest of which is the
14th and Walnut Street Transit Center Improvements. The second project provides additional
money for transit stop improvements throughout the city. The designs for both of these
projects are underway, and construction is anticipated to start on both later this year.
21. Transportation New Multi-Use Path Connections: Includes constructing a multi-use path on
28th Street from Arapahoe to Goose Creek, which is in the design process. It also includes
various multi-use path connections throughout the city. A connection on the south side of
Baseline east and west of 30th Street and pedestrian crossing improvements at Baseline and
Canyon Creek were completed this year. The next project to be completed is Foothills Path to
Morgan Drive, and construction is planned to start later this year.
22. Transportation Pedestrian Enhancements: Includes pedestrian crossing treatments, small and
large missing sidewalk links and pedestrian improvements at Manhattan and S. Boulder Road.
The enhancements to the pedestrian crossing at Canyon and 21 st Street have been completed
as well as the missing link on Gillaspie from Greenbriar to julliard. The Folsom sidewalk south
of Arapahoe on the east side is nearly complete and the next missing link to be completed will
be short sidewalk sections on Pine Street and 27th Street.
23. Transportation Intersection Improvements: Includes improvements at the Foothills/Baseline
intersection, the Diagonal/ Foothills intersection and the South Boulder Road/Manhattan
Intersection. These projects are in the early stages of design.
24. Transportation Bike System Enhancements: Includes additional bike system signage such as
the designation of new on-street bike routes and installing way-finding and destination signs
along existing greenways. Sign installation is on-going. The remaining money is for striping
new on-street bike lanes on existing streets identified in the Transportation Master Plan. The
bike lane striping has not begun yet.
25. Police Equipment: Includes upgrading the records management system and adding more in-
car video systems to the patrol fleet. The city is in the process of getting the final cost
estimate to upgrade the records management system and testing the video devices. It is
anticipated that the city will make a decision soon regarding the purchase of additional car or
personal unit video devices (those worn on the officer's uniform).
26. Police Equipment Upgrades and Replacement: Includes replacing the bomb squad robot, and
purchasing equipment to operate a DNA Lab in Boulder in partnership with the Colorado
Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and upgrading the emergency radio infrastructure. The bomb
robot is being built and the purchase order has been issued. Negotiations are continuing with
CBI for an operating agreement for the DNA lab. The city is working on architectural drawings
66
Capital Improvement Bond A
of the existing space, needed equipment has been identified, and bids are being obtained for
security features for the space. A long-term lease has been signed and licenses have been
obtained from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for the new radio frequencies.
The police channel was brought online in June 2012 and the city is in the process of
completing the installation of the equipment that will make the city's new fire channel
operational.
Implementation
To ensure that the city meets the spending and timing requirements of the capital improvement
bond, the city has collected spending plans for each project and closely monitors construction
progress. Table 4-1 shows the annual expenditure plan for each project for 2011 through 2015.
All funding in the project sheets that follow the table is shown prior to 2013 because the bonds
were sold in 2012 and all funds were accounted for in 2012.
As part of the city's ongoing effort to improve the financial information conveyed in the CIP, the
expenditure information collected for each of the capital bond projects is included in the specific
project sheets and summarized in Table 4-1. The project sheets contain two additional sets of
financial information which have not been previously collected for CIP projects:
• Estimated Total Cost Table - breaks down the estimated total project cost into elements
such as planning/design, construction, implementation, and land acquisition; and
• Capital Expenditure Plan Table - shows when the project will be constructed and the money
spent.
These additions to the capital improvement bond project sheets are a continuation of several
efforts made over the past few years to expand the collection and use of expenditure and
construction completion information in the CIP. These financial details are a preview of how all CIP
project sheets will be structured in the future.

Next Steps
Council will be updated on the capital improvement bond progress through semiannual updates
as part of an Information Packet item. These will be timed to coincide with the Adjustments to
Base council budget memos, which typically occur in April and October.
In addition, public updates will be announced through press releases, social media and other
commemorative events as some of the key projects break ground or are completed. Those
projects that have traffic or multi-use path impacts will be provided to the public and media
through weekly "Cone Zones" reports and other outreach materials. A map of the projects and
status updates are available at www.bouldercolorado_gov/bondproiects.
Future CIP documents will continue to include a section on the capital bond projects until they are
completed.

Project Description
This project would fund reconstruction of the arterial street in the worst condition. The highest need is on
Arapahoe Avenue from Broadway to Folsom, with a total project cost of $10 million. This project was funded
at $5 million, so work will consist of reconstructing a portion of Arapahoe that is in the worst condition; likely
from Folsom to 1 7th Street. The project will include removal and replacement of the pavement, new curb, gut-
ter and sidewalks, upgraded access ramps and landscaping where space allows. It is anticipated that this pro-
. to Guiding Principles
Reconstruction of Boulder's arterial streets is important to maintaining mobility, safety and connectivity. These
projects rebuild the entire street section, including upgrading underground utilities, refining cross slopes, and
bringing curb & gutter, sidewalks, drainage and other elements up to standard. In some cases, replacing as-
phalt with concrete can result in maintenance cost savings over time. Maintaining the existing infrastructure is
the highest priority in the TMP.
Public Process Status, Issues
Public Process: It is anticipated there will be public process focused on the adjacent properties and the users
of the corridor during the earlier phases of the design process and closer to construction to talk about impacts
during construction. There will be extensive coordination with impacted utilities in the area and with the lar-
ger adjacent property owners like CU and Naropa.
Status: An on-call consultant has prepared a conceptual design report that identifies potential issues, shows
preliminary cross sections, and a conceptual cost estimate. A geotechnical engineer has completed borings,
analysis, and pavement design recommendations. A project manager has been assigned to this project, we
have contracted for project surveying and continued design services, and design work has begun. The con-
struction management will be by city staff and/or consultant technician support, with the cost estimates for
this work included in the cost estimate. The construction will be bid. The project will likely go to TAB at least
once for review and comment.
Issues: This project will require design coordination with utilities and adjacent property owners. The utility
work could be extensive and may want to be completed in advance of the rest of the construction. There is
not a lot of area for detouring, so the project traffic control will be a big task to figure out. It may make sense
to close Arapahoe in one direction for portions of the project, and maintaining access to adjacent properties
will be somewhat complex. There will also be irrigation ditch coordination as there is at least one irrigation
Relationship with Other Departments
Coordination with the Utility Department will be required for any impacts or upgrades to existing utilities in-
cluding water, wastewater, and storm drainage. We will coordinate with Forestry/Parks to strategize on any
tree impacts. There will be coordination with irrigation ditch companies that have ditches in the area.

Project Description
This project will address major infrastructure needs at the Boulder Reservoir including entry gate fencing,
roadway and parking lot improvements, water and sewer utility and stormwater management infrastructure,
grounds and landscaping improvements, and raw water irrigation system improvements. The funding will also
address the need to complete the Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) wash station and monitoring system as pro-
posed by the Reservoir Master Plan. This project was determined as a high priority bond program initiative by
the Parks and Recreation
Advisory Board (PRAB).
The Boulder Reservoir recreation area is a significant revenue producing resource for the Parks and Recreation
Department. Over time, the infrastructure, facilities, and park amenities have fallen into disrepair and im-
provements are required to maintain uses at the reservoir as well as prepare for future anticipated needs. This
project will provide access to a wide range of users, improve recreational opportunities, and conserve natural
resources at the Reservoir.
Failing to address these needs may potentially result in closure of public facilities and operational areas of the
Reservoir within the next five years. As a major revenue source for Parks and Recreation, the reservoir provides
revenues beyond essential operating costs. While annual revenues help offset operating expenses, capital ex-
penditures are a major concern, including the need to improve existing sewer and water systems that are ob-
solete and require additional maintenance costs and excessive utility costs to the Department. An example is
that the current domestic water system is on the Left Hand Water District water which is more costly than City
of Boulder water. Among other things, this project would assist in addressing the infrastructure costs to tran-
sition from Left Hand Water to City of Boulder water. The return on investment for this upgrade alone would
pay back the investment within 3-5 years. The CIP investment for Reservoir improvements is near the top of
the list for the Department.
Multiple infrastructure projects have been identified in the Boulder Reservoir Master Plan as critical deficien-
cies. These projects are included in the proposed 2011 Capital Investment Bond Fund program. In addition,
several other related projects will be addressed in the upcoming Site Management Plan process to be initiated
Relationship to Guiding Principles
The 2006 Parks and Recreation Master Plan includes a goal to invest in revenue-producing facilities as well as
a recommendation to prepare a management plan for the Boulder Reservoir. The 2010 Recreation Program
and Facilities Plan includes recommendations on maximizing facility use and special event opportunities at
priority locations to improve revenue earning potential and to meet the departments overall sustainable eco-
nomic objectives. In addition, the Boulder Reservoir Master Plan identifies a number of specific action plan
strategies that call for a reinvestment of resources to improve programs, operations, and capital improve-
ments at the reservoir over the next 5 years.

Boulder Reservoir Infrastructure lmprovements continued
Public Process Status, Issues
Public Process: The Boulder Reservoir Master Plan process has engaged an appropriate public process over the
18-months that has included significant public input and technical analysis. In addition, the upcoming Site
Management Plan will continue to extend an open process to engage the general public, intra-departmental
agencies, and staff throughout the planning process.
Status: It is anticipated that the Boulder Reservoir Master Plan will be adopted by PRAB in November 2011 and
accepted by City Council in January 2012. The subsequent Site Management Plan will then be initiated during
the first quarter of 2012 and completed in early 2013. Specific projects such as the Entry gateway and water
and sewer infrastructure system redevelopment are currently in design, review, and permitting phases. These
projects will be ready to go to construction upon review and permitting by the State of Colorado Department
of Public Health and Environment. Once the State has issued the appropriate permits, the project will be ready
to go to a competitive bid process. It is anticipated that these principle infrastructure projects (Entry gateway
and water and sewer infrastructure upgrades) will exceed a one year construction period.
Issues: The Parks and Recreation Department anticipates the need to fill a critical and currently funded and
vacant Landscape Design II position to assist in the project management and administration of the Boulder
Reservoir infrastructure improvement projects associated with the 2011 Capital Investment Bond Funding pro-
gram.
Relationship with Other Departments
The Parks and Recreation Department will coordinate with Public Works - FAM and Utilities to define required
engineering, architectural and construction services /project needs, and coordinate throughout the design and
construction process as appropriate.

Project Description
This project includes improvements at the Columbia Cemetery, including headstone rehabilitation, fence
repairs, and improvements to the raw water irrigation system. This project is critical to maintain existing
valued park and cultural resources and to improve water conservation efforts as part of the Columbia
Cemetery Historic Landmark site.
The return on investment associated with improvements to cultural and natural resources in the community is
critical in maintaining a high quality of life standard in the community. Supplemental funding is needed to
support improvements to the Columbia Cemetery, including headstones, landscape and irrigation systems
because no other funding source is available. Without a dedicated funding source, this type of project will
likely not move forward and only essential maintenance needs will be considered.
The initial facility planning may begin in 2014. Phase I design is anticipated to be completed by 2014 with
construction scheduled for 201 5-1 7.
Relationship to Guiding Principles
The 2006 Parks and Recreation Master Plan defines the need to reinvest in existing urban parks and to
maintain existing valued resources and improve water conservation efforts when ever possible. The Parks and
Recreation Department continues to seek funding opportunities to protect and enhance critical historic and
cultural facilities that fall under the oversight of Parks and Recreation Department.
The need to establish a funding source for the assessment, maintenance and modification of these resources
is a high priority. The return on investment associated with improvements related to cultural resources is
critical in maintaining a high quality of life standard in the community. Supplemental funding is needed to
support improvements for identified projects and assets. Without a dedicated funding source, this type of
project will not move forward and only essential maintenance needs will be considered.
Public Process Status, Issues
Public Process: Initial user group discussions will be scheduled early in the planning process to engage various
stakeholders of the purpose and intent of individual projects as identified for the cemetery.
Status: Cemetery fence repairs and improvements to the raw water delivery system will require design and
permitting. Coordination with city department reviews and neighborhood coordination efforts will be
developed during 2012. Construction improvements would occur over a two year period.
Issues: The Parks and Recreation Department will work with the Historic Landmarks Board to address critical
review and approvals. In addition, the currently funded and vacant Landscape Design II position will be
required to be filled to provide essential project management and administration of the cemetery improvement
projects associated with the 2011 Capital Investment Bond Funding program.

Project Description
Construct public right of way enhancements to the downtown commercial district, including the Pearl Street
Mall. The projects include: pedestrian streetscape enhancements to 15th Street, West Pearl; pedestrian im-
provements as part of the Downtown Transit Center project will increase bus lanes; targeted enhancements to
the Pearl Street Mall; and infrastructure improvements to the 13th Street/Central Park area to accommodate
the needs of the Farmers' Market.

Pearl St Info Kiosks Implementation
2013 - West Pearl Design
Central/Civic Park Design
14th St Transit Center Implementation
Corridor St Tree Enhancements Implementation
2014 - West Pearl Implementation
Central/Civic Park Implementation
Relationship to Guiding Principles
Enhancements to the downtown commercial district are a reinvestment which supports the future sustainabil-
ity of downtown, including the highly visited areas such as the Pearl Street Mall, Downtown transit center, and
the 13th Street/Central Park improvements, which will also accommodate the needs of the Farmers' Market.
Downtown's economic vitality and cultural vibrancy depend on dynamic and attractive public spaces and public
right of ways that reinforce the community's commitment to a high level of quality of life for business reten-
tion, tourism and community benefit. Private investment follows public investment. Should downtown and
the Pearl Street Mall become out-dated and not fully use technology, it would negatively impact the social and
economic sustainability of the downtown and the community.
1. Master Plan: DUHMD/PS's plans to create a master plan have been postponed to 2012 due to work plan
constraints.
2. Community Sustainability Goals: Downtown and Pearl Street Mall Improvements are very closely aligned
with the social and economic sustainability goals. Downtown is the primary community gathering place, com-
mercial center and tourism attraction in Boulder, and thus is an important economic generator and source of
community pride. A reinvestment strategy needs to be in place to ensure the Pearl Street Mall and downtown
remain a vital and attractive city center for residents, visitors and employees. The downtown area provides for
a quality of life that attracts and retains diverse businesses, and is the site for dozens of community events

Downtown Commercial District Improvements continued
that create an inclusive and socially thriving community. We have a world class downtown and need to ensure
that it stays that way.
3. Maintenance and Operations: Future replacement funds for new improvements will need to be integrated
into the downtown and Pearl Street Mall amenities replacement fund. On-going daily maintenance of the
Pearl Street Mall and downtown amenities is currently covered by Parks and Recreation, DUHMD/PS and the
Downtown Boulder Business Improvement District.
4. Emerging Needs: The proposal for Downtown/Pearl Street Mall Improvements specifically addresses this
guiding principle by anticipating future development of the public right of way to meet emerging needs.
Several examples include funding for pedestrian improvements to complement the proposed transit im-
provements at the 14th and Walnut Street Station, which has the second-highest boardings in the entire RTD
system; allocating funds for the design and implementation for future needs in the Central Park area, includ-
ing the potential expansion of the Boulder County Farmers' Market; and retrofitting mall phones by trans-
forming a non-used utility (pay phones) into a digital public information kiosks.
5. Supporting City Business Systems: Not applicable.
6. Improving existing assets: The Downtown/Pearl Street Mall Improvement fund would build on the current
success existing Pearl Street Mall and downtown assets.
7. Meeting Mandates, etc.: Investment in the public infrastructure is a precursor to private development.
8. Efficiency of Investments - Cost Benefit and Coordination of Departments: Continuing to enhance the
existing public infrastructure enriches the public right of way and supports a higher level of building invest-
ment. DUHMD/PS works closely with other departments such as FAM, Transportation, and Parks and Recrea-
tion to coordinate planning and developments in the public right of way.
9. Sound Fiscal Foundation: Does not directly apply.
Public Process Status, Issues
A Downtown Improvement Plan Task Force has been working to prioritize and identify improvements. Staff on
the task force represent Parks and Recreation, Planning, Transportation, DUHMD/PS and Facilities Asset Man-
agement. Also included are representatives from the downtown boards and organizations: Downtown Man-
agement Division, Downtown Boulder Inc. and Downtown Boulder Business Improvement District. Additional
stakeholders will be added as the project evolves. The primary foci of the task force as been twofold. First,
working with Parks, GIS and FAM staff to create an inventory of existing amenity and streetscape improve-
ments on the Pearl Street Mall and the downtown. The second component has been the recommendation for
areas for future streetscape and infrastructure improvements. The Task Force developed matrices based on
economic, environmental, social and operational factors. The recommended projects include: 1 5th Street
Streetscape Implementation, West Pearl Streetscape, 1 lth Street Cooridor, Central/Civic Park, Pearl Street Mall
Info Kiosks, and 14th Street Transit mall Pedestrian Improvements.
In 2011, the first project-13th Street improvements for the Farmer's Market was completed.
The recommendations for future improvements respond to several issues. Staff has been in discussion with
Planning regarding the SODA (South of Downtown Area) study that has been proposed for 15th Street between
Canyon and Arapahoe. Pedestrian improvements to the 14th Street Transit street would add value to the
planned transit enhancements to the 14th/Walnut bus station.

Project Description
Renovate existing park and recreation facilities at high priority park locations that include Canyon Park,
Columbine Park, Crestview Park, East Palo Park, North Boulder Park, Pineview Park and other high priority
parks in the city. Park improvements range from playground, irrigation, soil and turf, hardscaping, ADA
accessibility, facility improvements (shelters, pool bathhouse, parking lot and skate park fencing), play court
resurfacing, signage, and repairs at park entry sidewalks, access, and trail surfacing. This project was
determined as a high priority bond program initiative by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB
This project will address ongoing maintenance and ADA accessibility considerations, improve overall safety of
parks, and accelerate the general renovations of the existing park system. The Parks and Recreation
Departments is required to meet specific industry standards addressing health and safety, universal
accessibility, and levels of service that support a wide range of individuals throughout the community. If
funding for this project is not provided, the impact to the community could be a growing backlog of park care
needs. Potentially, parks and certain park amenities such as playgrounds and fields, will need to be closed
due to failing infrastructure and safety and ADA compliance issues. In addition, existing work projects will
cost more and take more time to complete due to the additional needs for each subsequent park or facility.
Park amenities and equipment and irrigation systems intended to optimize water efficiencies and sustainability
performance measures throughout our park system will take much longer to complete as the current funding
level only addresses the goal of renovating one park per year. This CIP need is the highest priority of the
Department.
Relationship to Guiding Principles
The Parks and Recreation Department continues to seek opportunities to provide quality recreational services
including provisions for parks and recreation amenities and facilities. The 2006 Parks and Recreation Master
Plan includes a goal to invest in revenue-producing facilities such as parks and recreational centers as well as
to fill in the gaps in recreational programs. Boulder needs to maintain and improve upon existing recreational
facilities and amenities in order to retain a competitive market share in the community. Recreational facilities
require a significant degree of ongoing annual maintenance and repair. At times, it is also important to
provide periodic restoration changes to facilities to accommodate new programs and equipment designed to
address demands of the public.
Public Process Status, Issues
Public Process: The Parks and Recreation Master Plan identifies parks and recreational needs in the community
through an extensive public process and survey mechanism. In addition, staff continually receives input and
requests for park and recreation improvements throughout the community. Staff maintains an extensive
database of priority park and recreational facility needs. As projects are further defined, initial user groups will
be scheduled in the planning and design process to alert recreation center users of the programming
enhancements. Periodic updates will occur throughout the process to engage interest groups as necessary.

Existing Park and Recreation Facility Renovations continued
Status: Neighborhood and pocket park priority lists provide critical information on park needs, life cycle
equipment replacement needs, and order of magnitude costs. Projects will be bundled based on needs to gain
optimal efficiencies, considering staffing, funding, and bid cost results.
Issues: The Parks and Recreation Department anticipates the need to fill a critical and currently funded and
vacant Landscape Design II position to assist in the project management and administration of the parks and
infrastructure improvement projects associated with the 2011 Capital Investment Bond Funding program.

CIP #2 - CIP should achieve Community Sustainability Goals: Social-enhancements that improve accessibility
to city services and resources provided to the community, and ensure compliance with federal law. The
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) changed in 2010, and now requires that all municipalities audit their
facilities for compliance with ADA and correct all deficiencies by 2015. Should the city not be in compliance
with ADA requirements, it leaves itself open for possible litigation.

CIP #6 - CIP should sustain or improve maintenance of existing assets before investing in new assets. This
project replaces many facility infrastructure systems that are past their useful life. Systems are obsolete and
parts are hard to obtain which leads to unscheduled failures that have operational impacts to occupants and
users of some essential facilities. Not replacing building infrastructure that is past due its replacement affects
the city operations in those facilities in numerous ways including:
- Higher energy bills due to equipment that is typically 30% less efficient than today's technology;
- Diminished building comfort because control technology in older systems often are both heating and cooling
at the same time;
- Increased down time because parts being hard to find result in systems often being down for a longer time
as specialty parts are ordered.

lot lighting will increase safety and security in this area. Having an unlit parking lot creates an area for possi-
ble vandalism to property and reduces safety of personnel. By using the funds for upfront costs for a solar
canopy, a third-party operated solar electric vehicle charging system may be feasible. Such a project would
provide a zero emissions system for parking lot lights while eliminating operating costs to the city.

Relationship to Guiding Principles
CIP #6 - CIP should sustain or improve maintenance of existing assets before investing in new assets.
CIP #7 - CIP should maintain or improve public safety and security and reduce operating costs and improve
efficiency. Failure to maintain these surfaces creates tripping hazards and causes further degradation resulting
in repairs costing 4.5 times greater. The city's Risk Management office has stated that any crack or tripping
hazards greater than 1 /4 of an inch should be repaired. Not fixing failed pavements is not an option.
Preventive maintenance prevents more expensive repairs in the future. Parking lot evaluations identified the
condition and repair costs were conducted in Fall 2010.

Relationship to Guiding Principles
With dramatic advances in information technology, the way in which our library delivers services must evolve
rapidly. In addition, the demographics in Boulder are shifting, resulting in a wider range of needs and
expectations for library services. In order to keep pace and remain relevant and functional with respect to
these changes, the Main Library facility requires renovation and upgrades. The level and quality of services is
expected to steadily decline without additional capital funding to make these improvements. Renovation of the
Main Library is considered a higher priority than the addition of new services or facilities.
Public Process Status, Issues
Public Process: On March 5, 2010, in a memo to the City Manager, this project was recommended by the
Library Commission as Priority Project 1 & 2. The 2009 Facilities Sustainability Study incorporated input from
the Library Commission and a series of eleven focus groups, community interviews at two locations, and an
online survey (818 respondents). The schematic design phase of this project will included additional
opportunities for public input and presentations to the City Council and community.
On Saturday, Jan 28, 201 1 , the Library Commission, Teen Advisory Board members, the public and city staff
toured five front range libraries that have been recently built or remodeled. Focus was on the teen and
children areas to provide ideas on what could be done with Boulder's major renovation of those areas in the
Main Library.
Issues: Includes the design of cafe services to be located near the main entrance and phasing of subprojects.
Developing a plan for replacing the electrical wiring and carpeting throughout the Main Library may also be
included for an additional cost of 8.5% of the replacement value to cover architect/engineering fees for
incorporating planning for these projects. Replacement of the electrical wiring and carpeting are funded in the
2011 Capital Improvement Program (combined total of $570,000). An allocation of $50,000 of library

Project Description
This project would fund the replacement and augmentation of major business software identified in the City's
Information Technology Strategic Plan, including:
- Implementation of new, maintenance management software (2012-2014: $880,000).
- Completion of a citywide records management software implementation that currently serves only a few
departments (2012-2014: $209,000).
- Redesign of the city website software for inclusion of new public-facing eGov applications (2012-2013:
$120,000).
- Replacing and enhancing the permitting management software, including the inclusion of current standalone
licensing systems used across the city (2012-2013: $411,602).
Relationship to Guiding Principles
This project supports Guiding Principal #5: Capital Improvement Programs should maintain and enhance the
supporting city-wide business systems, such as information and finance systems, for the city over the long-
term.
The systems in this category reflect some of the most operationally-critical applications used across multiple
city departments and are included as high priorities in the City's Information Technology Strategic Plan. The
permit management application in particular is facing possible de-support from its vendor in the near-future
due to its age, and is subject to increasing support costs. Serious continuity of operations issues will arise if
the city does not begin the replacement of the enterprise systems in this category. All the systems lack key
efficiency-enhancing technologies and features available in newer technologies, particularly citizen-facing
eGov applications that are currently lacking in our website and business systems.
Public Process Status, Issues
Public Process: N/A
Status: - Maintenance Management System: The city currently has approximately 5 separate, aging systems
with an asset and maintenance management focus, many of which do not serve critical business functions
adequately, based on user feedback. Opportunities exist to potentially integrate these systems in a single
product that can more effectively and economically serve city business needs. Included in the scope of the
ERP needs assessment currently being conducted by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) is a
review of whether asset/ maintenance management software should be included in the ERP procurement.
Many vendors in this marketplace include related capabilities in their systems.
- Records Management System: This effort involves expansion of the current automated records management
and document imaging system, which currently serves a limited number of departments. Supplemental staff-
ing is being requested to cover the temporary implementation load.
94
Capital Improvement Bond ,~l
Major Business Software Replacement continued
Without this investment, many departments will rely on the continued use and storage of paper records
which are difficult to search and expensive to store and protect, given required retention schedules. Staff
will be completing an internal needs assessment by early 2012 to define a recommended implementation
plan.
- Public-Facing Web / eGov Applications: This project involves investment in an expanded array of auto-
mated solutions for providing information and online transactional services to Boulder customers, as well as
ongoing improvements to the underlying technologies that enable us to effectively and securely create an
attractive and content-rich web presence for the city. Without investment in new web infrastructure systems,
our website will become technically obsolete as user-facing web technologies continue to advance rapidly.
Security of web systems also becomes a major concern as technical threats expand. An RFP was issued dur-
ing the summer of 2011 for web redesign services covering the thematic elements of the site (look and feel)
and the underlying content management system technologies. This is being funded by the IT Department's
operating budget. This capital funding request will enhance this investment by adding new, customer-facing
web applications such as Constituent Relationship Management (CRM) software, transactional systems, and
mobile applications to integrate with the new web design and backend business systems.
- Permits System Replacement: The current vendor will be moving away from support of the current permits
system in coming years. Beginning the replacement in 2012 will avoid de-support and lead to an effective
transition. The permits system is critical to permit issuance and development review among many city de-
partments. Lack of an automated solution would lead to reliance on manual processes or lesser technologies
that will not allow the city to maintain critical service levels or collect needed revenue. An internal or con-
sultant-assisted needs assessment will be completed by mid-2012. A restricted fund reserve has been accu-
mulated over the years for the replacement of this system. This capital request will supplement these re-
serves to provide adequate funding for the core system and cover the cost of potential migration of the cur-
rent standalone-licensing systems (e.g. liquor, medical marijuana, and animal licensing) to this consolidated
platform.
Issues: Due to the significant preparation and implementation work to be undertaken to successfully com-
plete the permits, web/eGov, and asset/ maintenance management projects, it is not likely that existing staff
will be able to simultaneously sustain current legacy systems and related services, and work on implementa-
tion.
Relationship with • Departments
These projects will affect virtually every department within the city organization, both in terms of implementa-
tion support needs and eventual operating benefits, once implemented.

On-going expense relates to projected software maintenance fees. These are currently estimated amounts,
based on 20% of the projected cost of the software. The number reflected here is the estimated gross
amount. It should be noted that for many of these packages, there are existing O&M funds being expended in
the departmental operating budgets. Rather than make assumptions about the future use of those funds,
we've reflected to gross total O&M.
These values have been calculated using information from the IT Strategic Plan.
For the web site project and document management projects, the Computer Replacement Fund (CRF) is the
funding source (subject to approval). For the Asset Maintenance Management and Permit systems the operat-
ing budgets of the user departments are the logical funding source.

Project Description
This project will construct new facilities for the Fire department, including a new wildland fire operations building
and a new Fire storage facility for vehicles and equipment. In 2012, design will be accomplished at a cost of
$120,000 followed with construction in 2013 at a cost of $1,030,000. Project management is included in these
Relationship to Guiding Principles
CIP #1 - CIP should be consistent with and implement Council -accepted master plans and strategic plans.
- An adequate fire cache was identified in the 1996 Fire Master Plan and again in the 2011 Operation and
Management Assessment of the Boulder Fire-Rescue Department Report.
CIP #7 - CIP should maintain or improve public safety and security.
- The wildland fire crew is currently housed in a single family residence at 19th and Violet, and wildland fire
equipment is stored in multiple locations in and around the city. A consolidated operation would be much
more effective. Reserve fire apparatus and equipment are currently stored in existing stations and in a barn
off of the Diagonal Highway. A heated storage facility would allow storage of reserve fire apparatus to move
out of existing stations opening up garage space for smaller response vehicles for non-fire operations.
Wildland fire crews will continue to be housed in a facility rated in poor condition. The crew is housed and off
iced at the 'cache' - the place where they store and perform maintenance on their tools. This tool repair is
done outside under a car port with little protection from the weather. There is no garage at the cache. Trucks
and equipment that needs to be stored inside are stored at the 'fire barn' at 51 st and Jay Road. Not having all
of their tools, equipment, and vehicles in one place can cause delays is mustering forces during an emergency.
It also causes the crew to do a lot of driving to perform equipment checks and routine maintenance.
Public Process Status, Issues
Public Process: An amendment to the Regional Fire Training Center (FTC) site review is required to build the
new wildland fire facility on land next to the FTC. Public notification would occur which may trigger a
neighborhood meeting.
Status: Project management is estimated at 120 hours for 2012 and 1,000 hours for 2013. Design would start
in 2012 followed by site reviews before construction can proceed in 2013.
Issues: There may be concerns raised by neighbors related to traffic impacts at the Boulder Reservoir. These
will be addressed in the site review process.

Project Description
This project will provide resources to maintain existing park amenities, including the upgrade and/or
replacement of neighborhood and/or community park shelters and other shade structure amenities in existing
parks and at select ball fields. Park locations may include North Boulder Park, Martin Park, Harlow Platts
Community Park and Tom Watson Park. The return on investment associated with improved park amenities is
significant. If alternative and supplemental funding is not identified to support improvements to existing parks
throughout the community, the Parks and Recreation Department will be forced to postpone these needed
capital improvements. In addition, it will be difficult to meet industry standards for health, safety and
accessibility if periodic shelter replacements/improvements are not regularly completed.
This project will begin in 2013 (design).
Costs:
1. Planning and Design: $50,000 (estimated)
2. Acquisition: N/A
3. Construction: $950,000
Implementation of new/replacement park shelters is anticipated to be completed by 2015.
Relationship to Guiding Principles
To meet health safety requirements for park facilities, the Parks and Recreation Department continues to
identify key priorities and to seek funding opportunities to maintain and improve upon existing parks and
recreational shelter programs/facilities. Shelters and shade structures require a significant degree of annual
maintenance and repair, as well as periodic restoration or replacement of shade structures to address the
demands of the general public.
The 2006 Parks and Recreation Master Plan includes a goal to invest in revenue-producing facilities such as
rental shelter and pavilions, as well as to fill in the gaps in the parks system where shelters may not exist and
requests have been made by the general public for shade structures. It will be difficult to meet industry
standards aimed at health, safety and accessibility if periodic replacements/ improvements are not regularly
considered. This initiative is considered a high priority for the department.
Public Process Status, Issues
Public Process: The Parks and Recreation Master Plan identifies parks and recreational needs in the community by
applying an extensive public process and survey mechanism. In addition, staff continually receives input and
request for park and recreation improvements throughout the community, and staff maintains an extensive
database on priority park and recreational facility needs. As projects are further defined, user groups will be and

enhancements. Design process updates will occur periodically throughout the process to engage interest
groups as necessary.
Status: Neighborhood and pocket park shelter replacement and new installation lists provide critical
information on park needs, life cycle equipment replacement needs and order of magnitude costs. Each
priority park shelter facility is further assessed and design and bid construction documents are developed as
the next phase. Projects will be bundled based on needs to gain the optimal efficiencies as possible
considering staffing, funding and bid cost results.
Issues: The Parks and Recreation Department anticipates the need to fill a critical, currently funded, vacant
Landscape Design II position to assist in the project management and administration of the parks and
infrastructure improvement projects associated with the 2011 Capital Investment Bond Funding program.
Initial user group discussions will be scheduled to identify key locations for future play courts and to alert
programmed sports organizations of the design and construction process. Periodic updates will occur
throughout the planning

Project Description
This project replaces Boulder's Financial Management System (BFS) and Human Resources/Payroll System
(Vista) with an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. An ERP system is a fully integrated finance, human
resources system from a single vendor.
The 201 1 IT Department operating budget includes $100,000 for an ERP needs assessment and procurement
consulting. The City has engaged the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) to conduct a full needs
assessment in preparation for a system procurement process. This effort, which will include the development
of bid-ready specifications for a new system, is set to conclude by the end of 201 1 . (Project 3.1 in the IT
Strategic Plan.)
Relationship to Guiding Principles
This project supports Guiding Principal #5 - Capital Improvement Programs should maintain and enhance the
supporting city-wide business systems, such as information and finance systems, for the city over the long-
term.
This project has been identified as one of the most critical citywide initiatives in the organization's Information
Technology Strategic Plan.
The city's current financial, human resources and payroll applications are nearly 15 years old and are not part
of a single, integrated system. The financial applications are facing the likelihood of de-support by the vendor
in the near future. The systems lack key efficiency-enhancing features and functionality and are increasingly
costly to integrate and maintain (e.g. the vendor support costs for the financial package increased by nearly
25% in 2011).
Given the looming loss of support and significant age of these critical administrative systems, the city could
literally be faced with reverting to manual processes and spreadsheets to complete core city accounting tasks
and administrative functions such as payroll processing. The city would not be able to meet basic accounting
and contractual commitments (financial reporting, payment of vendors and employees, and audit
requirements). The city would also experience critical slowdowns in its ability to collect revenue to sustain
basic city operations.
Public Process Status, Issues
Public Process: N/A
Status: City management has placed a high priority on replacement of the current financial, human resources,
and payroll systems. As a result, the city hired the Government Financial Officers Association (GFOA) via a
competitive process to undertake a comprehensive ERP needs assessment (including asset/ maintenance
management systems) scheduled for completion by the end 2011. It is anticipated that resulting procurement

activities may target implementation beginning sometime in mid-to-late 2012 and lasting well into 2014.
The needs assessment will include recommendations on short and long-term staffing for the new system
implementation and its live operations, as well as bid-ready specifications.
Issues: Due to the significant preparation and implementation work to be undertaken to successfully
complete this complex project, it is not likely that existing staff will be able to simultaneously sustain current
legacy systems and related services. This need applies to not only the IT department, but the administering
functional departments as well (e.g. Finance and HR in the case of the BFS and Vista replacements,
respectively).
Relationship with Other Departments
This project will fundamentally impact all city departments, requiring considerable time and commitment from
staff across the organization. The Finance, Human Resources and Information Technology department will
play a particularly critical role in this effort.

Project Description
This project will replace substandard bridges, structures, signs and systems within the city transportation
system. Projects could include replacing a structurally deficient bridge on 63rd Street north of Arapahoe,
renovating the landscaping and irrigation system on Foothills Parkway, replacing deficient minor structures,
and bringing street signage into compliance with federal standards.
The 63rd Street bridge is the lowest rated major structure in Boulder but one issue to be resolved for this
project is that the development commitments in this area will need to be reviewed and explored before
moving forward. Other projects include replacing signs to bring them into compliance with federal standards,
renovating landscaping on Foothills Parkway to replace an aging irrigation system and to save water, and the
traffic signal lights being replaced with LED fixtures to save energy. Additional projects that have been
considered and will be pursued if funding allows are minor (shorter than 20') bridge replacements at 3
locations on 4-Mile Creek. This will need to be coordinated with the Flood Utility as it is part of a bigger flood
plain planning process, but the structures have been identified as needing repair from a structural perspective.

Relationship to Guiding Principles
Maintenance is the highest priority project to pursue in the TMP. All of the projects in this category maintain
current systems and save resources such as water and energy. The 63rd St bridge is the lowest rated major
bridge structure (over 20' long) in Boulder. Foothills Landscaping renovations will reduce water use and
maintenance needs. Federal standards require that signs be replaced if necessary to meet specified standards

Replace Substandard Bridges, Structures, Signs, and Systems continued
by 2018. If any of the identified projects are found to be more complex than realistically possible to
complete in the 3 year bond term, alternative projects identified include replacement of minor structures
including shorter bridges, culverts, and retaining walls.
Public Process Status, Issues
Public Process: The replacement of the 63rd Street Bridge will require some public process - generally with
the adjacent property owners and the users of the street (Western Disposal, Special Transit, Xcel...). The sign
replacement, LED fixture replacement and the irrigation repairs will likely not require public process unless we
change the planting scheme and then we may want to have at least one public meeting.
Status: The 63rd Street bridge is a fairly complex project to sort out developments and commitments, and the
adjacent wetland and possible flood requirements. This project has been assigned to a project manager on
staff (the CIS Bond P.M.). The design will be from a solicited design consultant and the construction will be
bid. Consultants are being identified and purchase orders written to start work on design for the irrigation
and planting upgrades. These designs will be completed by an outside consultants and managed jointly by
Median Maintenance and the Transportation Projects group. The construction oversight will be by the median
maintenance staff and engineering technicians. The construction will be bid. There is currently a sign inven-
tory of signs that don't meet required standards and need to be replaced. Sign replacement will be all or par-
tially completed by existing on-call contractors. The LED fixture replacement is generally focused on the yel-
low light replacements.
Issues: The biggest issue is clarifying the development requirements on the 63rd Street bridge and if this pro-
ject should go forward at this time. If it is decided not to go forward on this project other major or minor

Project Number: 7 Map Number: 215
CEAP Required: No CEAP Status:
Project Description
This project will replace substandard bridges, structures, signs and systems within the city transportation
system. This project will increase the number of deteriorating roads repaired (for the 3 bond years) through
overlays or chip seals, before they reach the condition at which more costly repairs and/or reconstruction is
needed. The focus is on streets with pavement ratings between 50 and 70. Examples include 27th Way
(pavement rating 61), Harvard from Dartmouth to Table Mesa (56), Cedar Ave from 4th to 7th (69), Balsam
from 9th to Broadway (69), and 55th from Baseline to Aztec (62).
This work will be added to our annual overlay and chip seal programs. It is anticipated that we will spend
about 1 /3 per year of the bond as follows:
2012: $1,700,000
2013: $1,700,000
2014: $1,600,000
Relationship to Guiding Principles
Maintaining the street system requires on-going investment. Pavement quality is rated on a scale of 1 to 100
with 78 as an industry standard (and Boulder's goal). Pavement deteriorates over time, a few points a year.
Generally, pavement with ratings of 50 to 70 can be resurfaced through chip seals or overlays. Once pavement
deteriorates below 50, it typically requires more extensive repair, up to and potentially including
reconstruction, which is 4 times more expensive than resurfacing. Maintenance of our existing transportation
system is the highest priority activity in the transportation master plan.
Public Process Status, Issues
Public Process: There is very little public process required for this program. Neighborhoods will be notified
with notices - like door hangers - before we do the work and we will do an annual press release and put
information on the city's Cone Zones site.
Status: The city has been working on a Pavement Management Program that includes rating of streets and
entering the maintenance data into Cartegraph, an asset and pavement management database program. We
will use this program to identify annual work plans. We will manage this project with existing project
management staff. A civil engineer is being hired to assist with technical support for the project work
program, and outside consultant staff will be hired as needed for design and quality control. We will manage
the design and construction of this project jointly with annually budgeted programs, and we will use existing
consultant services contracts for surveying and design firms. Construction work will be bid and managed
along with annual funding budgeted for this program.
Issues: No significant issues are known for this program. We will need to coordinate with utility upgrades
and/or repairs and planned redevelopment adjacent to the streets identified for repairs.

Project Number: 8 Map Number: 216
CEAP Required: No CEAP Status:
Project Description
This project will reconstruct some of Boulder's streets that have significant pavement deterioration. This
project was originally focused on streets that had Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ratings of less than 50,
however, at this level of funding, we will focus our efforts on streets that rate below 25.
The money will generally be distributed over three years as follows:
2012: $1,000,000
2013: $750,000
2014: $750,000
There is more money planned in 2012 because of anticipation of design work being focused for the projects in
the first year.
Relationship to Guiding Principles
Once pavement quality drops below 50, simple resurfacing is typically not an option and major repair such as
extensive patching with an overlay or reconstruction may be needed. Limited maintenance budgets have
resulted in many smaller residential streets falling into this category. Maintenance of our existing
transportation system is the highest priority activity in the transportation master plan.
Public Process Status, Issues
Public Process: There is generally very little public process required for this program. Overall, street
reconstruction will require more interaction with adjacent properties than an overlay, and projects on arterials
would require more outreach prior to and during construction for coordination of the work. Neighborhoods
will be notified with notices such as door hangers, press releases, and information on the city's Cone Zones
website before any work is performed.
Status: The city has been working on a Pavement Management Program that includes rating of streets, and
entering maintenance data into Cartegraph, an asset and pavement management database program. We will
use this program to identify annual work plans. For city staff, we will manage this project with existing
project management staff. We are hiring a civil engineer to assist with technical support of the pavement CIS
Bond projects. We will manage the design and construction jointly with the annually budgeted programs, and
will use existing consultant services contracts for surveying and design firms. The construction work will be

Project Description
This project would enhance the existing bike system. The projects initially identified in this category include way
finding signage on paths and routes ($250,000) and bike lanes additions to key corridors ($50,000).
The striped bike lanes to be evaluated are on 33rd Street between Arapahoe to Prairie and on Pine from Folsom
to 28th Street. The first step is to complete a site analysis and conceptual design to identify the issues. It could
be possible that parking will need to be removed at both locations that will require public outreach and could
become contentious. As a back up plan for this funding we would shift bike lane funding to bike signage.
Bike Signage/Wayfinding:
2012: Design ($40,000)
2013: Installation ($110,000)
2014: Installation ($100,000)
Striping Bike lanes on Key Corridors:
2012: Public Process ($30k)
2013: Construction ($20K)
Relationship to Guiding Principles
While the city has a robust bike network, way finding on both streets and pathways is often a challenge. The
installation of signs showing key destinations helps users find their way. This project would also stripe bike
lanes on key corridors where space currently exists ($50,000).
Public Process Status, Issues
Public Process: There will be public outreach required for bike striping projects. If the projects become
contentious, we will explore different alternatives or do more bike signage with the funding.
Status: This process will be led by the city's Bike/Pedestrian Planner. Design and plans will be prepared by a
consultant. The consultant designs the bike signage and locations and evaluates the bike lane striping
projects. The signage project will be bid for construction. Any striping will be completed by the city's striping
contractor.
Issues: If parking needs to be removed, approval could be contentious.

Project Description
As part of the Transit Village Area Plan (adopted in September 2007 - revised in August 2010), Phase 1 Key
Public Improvements were identified as part of the TVAP Implementation Plan, to implement the vision and
goals for the area to implement key public infrastructure improvements that benefit the city as a whole and
are not the sole responsibility of private development. The Phase 1 adopted list of Key Public Improvement
projects was limited by anticipated revenue sources and was not all inclusive. This project includes several
previously unfunded Key Public Improvements. The highest priority for city investment is the junction Place
bridge over Goose Creek, with bike/ped access to the Goose Creek Pathway (estimated $2.56 million). The
following is the estimated timeline and expenditure of this project:
2012: Design/Public Process/ Permitting ($420,000)
2013: Construction - ($2,140,000)
Other priorities include: Goose Creek Bridge roadway tie-in to 33rd Street (Steel Yards Development), Pearl
Parkway Multiway Boulevard Improvements (30th-RR), added enhancements to Junction PI (Pearl-Goose Cr),
electrical undergrounding on Pearl (30th-RR), and the following possible additional improvements:
Junction Place bridge/ underpass over Boulder Slough (with related bike/ped access and path connection to
30th), and extending Junction Place south to the intersection of 32nd/Prairie (majority of this likely deferred to
when adjoining property redevelops).
These additional potential projects would be prioritized and packaged to be within the funding limits for this
project with the following estimated timeline:
2012: Design/Public Process/ Permitting ($400,000)
2013: Construction Start - ($1,667,000)
2014: Construction ($433,000)
Relationship to Guiding Principles
The various potential components of this project conform to the Connections Plan of the adopted Transit
Village Area Plan, with applicable components now integrated into the Transportation Master Plan. The new
collector street called junction Place is the major north-south connector through the area, providing for multi-
mode, transportation facilities linking the new RTD bus facility and the future city housing site on the south
side of Goose Creek to the future Northwest Rail train platform and existing developments to the north. The
proposed bridge over Goose Creek is key to this connection. Proposed multi-use path connections (in the
TVAP Connections Plan) along Goose Creek, the Boulder Slough, and other locations provide the primary multi
-use path connections in the area.

Transportation Boulderjunction Improvements continued
Public Process Status, Issues
Public Process: Most of the various improvements (bridges, transportation connections) included in this project
were a part of the public process conducted for TVAP as part of the Connections Plan, adopted in 2007. In
some cases (such as Pearl Parkway Multiway Boulevard Improvements and proposed "Shared Street"
enhancement to junction Place), a significant public process was conducted in 2010 and 201 1, leading to the
eventual adoption of proposed NAP plan changes by the Planning Board and City Council in late 2011. These
public project needs have also been the outcome of coordination with various private development projects
within Boulder Junction. In all cases, it would be anticipated that appropriate levels of public outreach would
be conducted during the early design stage (for projects such as the Goose Creek Bridge), including hearings
with applicable Boards and Council, if required.
Status: Survey base mapping was completed in Boulder Junction in 2011 to support designs for the various
proposed improvements. In addition to this, conceptual design work was completed in 2011 for the originally
identified Key Public Improvements of the TVAP Implementation Plan, as well as the improvements included in
this project that were not part of the original list, to update current cost projections. Preliminary design work
is currently underway for the Pearl Parkway Multiway Boulevard and the Junction Place Bridge over Goose
Creek.
Transportation is currently in the final hiring process for a fixed-term Civil Engineer 1 to supplement existing
Transportation staff needed to manage this overall project, with primary design efforts completed by private
consultants under the City's direction. The city will utilize existing on-call contracts as appropriate. The
projects would be anticipated to include various City permitting processes typical of City Transportation
Capital Improvement Projects. These could also require some related federal or state permits as well. The
construction of the various components of this project are anticipated to be coordinated and built as part of
redevelopment or require publically advertised bidding. The construction will be managed with existing
Transportation staff, including the new fixed-term Civil Engineer 1 and possibly requiring additional field
technician support by a fixed term technician or consultant staff during the peak of construction.
Issues: Primary issues include: 1) coordination with the timing of adjoining private developments, 2)
coordination with the timing and approval processes for a related federal-aid TIP project for the north side of
Pearl Parkway, which is being managed by Transportation staff, 3) well-defined project management structure
and public approval processes, 4) timely review and issuance of required permits, 5) continued close review
and coordination of private development submittals to identify potentially critical flaws or implementation
Relationship with Other Departments
Planning and Development Services staff, in close coordination with Public Works Transportation /Utilities/
Maintenance staff, are involved in the review and approval of area private development projects.
Transportation staff is leading the design and implementation of the public improvements as part of this bond
project in close coordination with P&DS staff involved with the review of the private development projects.
Close coordination will continue to be required for the integration of the public improvements that are part of
this project so that design details and schedules with the affected private developments can be coordinated.
Coordination with Police/Fire on emergency access and other needs will also be necessary. Adjoining Parks
and Recreation (Pocket Park), and Housing projects (on Pollard site) will require close coordination with this
project. Integration of required utility infrastructure for various public and private projects will also require
continual interaction and coordination with Public Works -Utilities. And, the Boulder Junction Access District in
the area will be an additional coordination entity.

design. Key issues have been identified and conceptual plans have been discussed. The plans would need to
be refined in the first year. The Baseline project may require the relocation of an Xcel facility that would
require coordination with Xcel. The construction would likely be completed with on-call construction
contracts and managed by existing staff or consultant inspection staff. The construction of the signal on S.
Boulder Road may be bid with other CIS projects.
Issues: Baseline/Foothills - the main issue is the location of an Xcel pole that has lines going in both
directions, making it a complex relocation. This will require close coordination with Xcel if there is not a way
to accomplish the project without this relocation. The Foothills project has higher speed on-coming ramp
traffic from CDOT facilities from both the Diagonal and from Foothills, in addition to the interaction with
bicycles trying to maneuver the area.

Project Description
This project will complete missing links in the multi-use pathway system that have been identified in the
Transportation Master Plan. Example of projects include improvements along Baseline, 28th, South Broadway,
Table Mesa and US 36, and connections from Boulder Creek to Arapahoe near Naropa.
The list of projects planned for this category with estimated project level costs are as follows:
28th Street - Arapahoe to Bluff - west side ($1,200,000)
Baseline south side - US36 to Bear Creek ($350,000)
Boulder Creek to Arapahoe at 22nd connection ($84,000)
Foothills Path To Morgan Dr. - north of Baseline - connection ($29,000)
Lashley - S. of Table Mesa ($28,000)
Table Mesa connection - S. Boulder Rd. - south side from Manhattan - OSMP Trail head ($29,000)
Table Mesa connection Tantra Dr. extended to CU south Loop Dr. ($42,000)
T. Mesa connection - S. Boulder Rd. south side - Table Mesa Park-n-Ride - Manhattan ($232,000)
It is anticipated that design and some construction may occur on the simpler connections during the first year,
final design and permitting the next year, and final construction the last year.
2012: Design, start permitting and ROW - simpler project construction ($500,000)
2013: Complete design, acquire ROW if necessary permitting and some more construction ($750,000)
2014: Construction of final projects ($750,000)
Relationship to Guiding Principles
An overall investment of $11.1 million will make significant progress toward completing the core multi-use
pathway system along major arterials and on the greenway system. This increment of financing will help
complete the projects identified as highest priorities for the 2011 bond issue. These projects include those
that are relatively uncomplicated, so they can be completed quickly. These projects are from the existing TMP.
Public Process Status, Issues
Public Process: Public process will vary for each project but generally will require meeting with adjacent
property owners to coordinate the improvements adjacent to their properties.
Status: These projects are all conceptual in form, with conceptual cost estimates. The design work will be
done using a design consultant on a contract for continuing services. The project on the east side of the
Naropa property will likely be combined with the Arapahoe arterial reconstruction project. Projects may
require ROW or easements, requiring assistance from our real estate staff. Many projects will require
permitting for flood and/or wetland issues. The smaller projects will be undertaken with the continuing
services contracts that are in place. The larger projects will be bid. The construction will be managed and
inspected by

Bond, or consultant inspection staff.
Issues: Coordination with adjacent property owners on impacts to the adjacent properties will be the most
significant issue on these projects.

Project Description
This project will construct missing sidewalk links throughout the community and provide pedestrian crossing
treatments.
The two locations identified for additional pedestrian crossing treatments are at Baseline at Canyon Creek and
Canyon at 21 st. Both locations have existing pedestrian crossings and have been identified through the
planning process to evaluate pedestrian crossings to receive additional treatments using new funding. Both of
these projects are planned to be completed in the first year.
The second portion of this project is to complete missing links. Approximately $250,000 was identified for
small missing links costing less than $50,000 each. A total of 16 different locations have been identified for
missing sidewalk links over three years. Approximately $500,000 was identified for large missing links
projects. Projects identified for these projects include Spine Road - Orchard Creek to south of Wellington;
Gillaspie Drive between Greenbriar and Veile Lake, north side; 71 st Street - Lookout Road to Winchester; and
Colorado between Discovery and Foothills Parkway, north side.
Pedestrian Crossing Treatment:
2012: $75,000
Missing Sidewalk Links:
2012: Design and construction of less complicated location ($200,000)
2013: Continue design and construction of more locations ($400,000)
2014: Complete construction of missing sidewalk links ($175,000)
Relationship to Guiding Principles
The Transportation Master Plan states that pedestrians are the priority users of the system. This investment
will accelerate the city's progress in establishing a functional and contiguous network of sidewalks with
frequent street crossing opportunities.
Public Process Status, Issues
Public Process: Generally, these projects require outreach to adjacent property owners and potential users of
the sidewalk. Each location will require its own mini-process.
Status: We have a list of pedestrian crossing treatments and missing links categorized into large (over
$50,000) and small (under $50,000) projects. The prioritization has been reviewed by TAB. The projects are
from the prioritized list in order of priority and according to the controversy surrounding the project, which
influences whether we can build it in 3 years. If projects are delayed for various reasons, we will select the
next logical project on the list. These projects will be managed by in-house staff and/or by the CIS bond

Transportation Pedestrian Enhancements continued
project manager responsible for multiple bond projects. The designs will be completed by consultants on
continuing services contracts if a formal design is needed. Some projects may not need a formal design (i.e.
connecting a short section of sidewalk to an existing sidewalk on both sides). The construction will be
managed by in-house staff and/or a CIS bond civil engineer who is working on multiple projects, or
consultant inspection staff.
Issues: The projects require high level coordination in case some sections become controversial once we
start the implementation process. Our backup plan would be to select the next project if one falls off the
list.

Coordinate with other departments if we encounter utilities or propose a section adjacent to any department's
property.

Project Description
Complete minor improvements at the 14th & Walnut transit station, including improved bus stops on the street,
enhanced patron information, and ped/bike access and accommodations. Provide basic access and amenities at
all transit stops in Boulder, and additional amenities such as benches, shelters and bike racks at high use stops.
The project breakdown and proposed timing is as follows:
14th & Walnut Station Improvements:
2012: Design and Coordination ($40,000)
2013: Final Design, Permitting ($110,000)
2014: Construction ($400,000)
Miscellaneous Transit Stop Improvements:
2012: Design and installation of transit stop amenities ($25,000)
Relationship to Guiding Principles
The 14th & Walnut station is over capacity today, and more buses are scheduled to arrive with FasTracks bus
rapid transit service. Bike parking is inadequate, and pedestrian and bicycle access is in need of improvement.
This increment of investment will provide modest improvements to current operations, accessibility and, aes-
thetics. For current transit stops, approximately 10% of Boulder's 1000 bus stops are inaccessible by wheel-
chair, lacking curb ramps and concrete pads for boarding.
Public Process Status, Issues
Public Process: The public process for the 14th & Walnut project and be coordinated with RTD and DUHMD.
The transit stop improvements will require coordination with RTD and the adjacent property owners if there
are impacts to their properties.
Status: A meeting has been held to discuss the concept plan for the 14th & Walnut project, and there are de-
tailed inventories of each of the transit stops and their needs. These projects are planned to be managed by
existing staff and/or the CIS Bond project manager working on multiple projects. The designs will be com-
pleted by outside consultants and depending on the final scope of 14th & Walnut (there is other money being
combined with this money) it may have a consultant selection process. The construction will be bid and man-
aged by internal staff, fixed term help or consultant services.
Issues: Two significant issues will be 1) coordination with RTD on both projects and 2) coordinating with
downtown interests to fit the planned improvements within the limited space between the existing buildings
on 14th Street.

Project Description
Parking Services manages the parking in three Downtown lots that are not owned by CAGID (they are city property)
but located within the CAGID boundaries. Historically, no funds have been set aside for repair or replacement for the
lots located at: 1 336 Canyon, 1 745 14th, and 1 775 14th. These lots are for paid permit holders during the week and
free on the weekends. There are no meters or pay stations in any of the lots. Parks and Recreation has assumed the
responsibility for routine landscaping, but also has not been funded for maintaining and repairing the landscaping
around these lots. Consequently, these lots have fallen into disrepair and the surrounding landscaping has
deteriorated to bare dirt and a few bushes.
A capital improvement amount of approximately 3285,500 would be needed to complete all necessary pavement
repairs for all three lots and $50,000 for landscaping costs; if there were to be completed all at one time. The annual
appropriation of S25,000 establishes a replacement savings plan for pavement repair and landscape upgrades that
will be completed on a rolling basis, as funds accumulate. Once, a lot is newly paved, it will have an estimated life
span of 20 years.
Summary of expenses: $285,500 for repair and replacement to the 3 parking lots. 550,000 estimated cost of
landscaping. Total CIP: $335,500. This project is funded with on-going replacement funds of $25,000 per year.
Work will begin on a rolling basis as soon as enough funds are available. Simple landscaping may occur in 2012
along Canyon. One lot will be resurfaced by 2014.
This project is for an ongoing funding program.
This project includes $0 of outside funding.

Project Description
Funding for the 4 year, 4.5 million dollar major capital renovation and repair project funding ended in 201 1. Starting
in 2012, 5250,000 per year is projected as ongoing repairs/ renovations to maintain the garages in good standing.
Major maintenance projects include, but, are not limited to; epoxy coating of exposed garage decks (on a 6-8 year
replacement schedule, one structure a year), painting (interior and exterior), major elevator repairs, concrete
deterioration . Many of these procedures require significant funding and are part of a rotating maintenance
schedule. The intent is to maintain the garages in a manner to avoid or delay significant capital outlay brought on
without timely maintenance.
In 2012, the top deck and drive lanes of 1 5th and Pearl were epoxy coated. In 2013, the exterior stairs at 1 100
Walnut will be replaced.
This project is for an ongoing funding program. All 5250,00 will be spent on rotating projects at the 5 garages each
year.
This project includes $0 of outside funding.

Project Description
Until 2412, there was no capital replacement or future improvements plan or funding source identified for the Pearl
Street Mall and downtown streetscape improvements. The Downtown Improvement Plan consists of two
components: 1) capital replacement budget for the existing amenities on the Pearl Street Mall (pop jet fountain,
shade structure, kiosks, play areas, etc.) and existing streetscape elements within the downtown area (benches, trash
receptacles, bike racks, etc.) and 2) a plan for future streetscape improvements in sub areas of the downtown.
This project is for an ongoing funding program. DUHMDIPS will work with the Parks Mall staff to develop a 2013
replacement schedule. The replacement funds are designated as amenities age and need replacement or repairs.
In 2013-2018, in addition to accumulating funds for amenities replacement, other projects will be identified as
needed.
This project includes $0 of outside funding.
Relationship to Guiding Principles
1. Master Plan: DUHMD PS's plans to create a master plan have been postponed due to work plan constraints.
2. Community Sustainability Goals: Downtown and Pearl Street Mall Amenity Replacements are very closely aligned
with the social and economic sustainability goals. Downtown is the primary community gathering place, commercial
center and tourism attraction, and thus is an important economic generator and source of community pride. A
reinvestment strategy needs to be in place to ensure the Pearl Street Mall and downtown remain a vital and attractive
city center for residents, visitors and employees. The downtown area provides for a quality of life that attracts and
retains diverse businesses-, and is the site for dozens of community events that create an inclusive and socially
thriving community.
3. Maintenance and Operations: The goal of this request is to provide the long term replacement funds to sustain
the amenities. On-going daily maintenance of the Pearl Street Mall and downtown amenities is currently covered by
Parks and Recreation, DUHMD? PS and the Downtown Boulder Business Improvement District.
4. Emerging Needs: Not applicable-
S. Support City Business Systems: Not applicable.
6, Improving existing assets: The Downtown/Pearl Street Mall Replacement fund totally supports this guiding
principle of sustaining or improving maintenance of existing assets prior to investing in new assets.
7. Meeting Mandates, etc.: Does not directly apply.
8, Efficiency of Investments - Cost Benefit and Coordination of Departments: Reinvestment in existing, well-loved
amenities is much more cost effective than constructing new amenities. DUHMD,r'PS works closely with other
departments such as FAM, Transportation, and Parks and Recreation to coordinate planning and maintenance.
9. Sound Fiscal Foundation- Does not directly apply.
Public Process Status, Issues
A Downtown Improvement Plan Task Force prioritized and identified improvements. Staff on the task force represent
Parks and Recreation, Planning, Transportation, DUHMDr PS and Facilities Asset Management. Also included are
representatives from the downtown boards and organizations: Downtown Management Division, Downtown Boulder
Inc. and Downtown Boulder Business Improvement District. Additional stakeholders will be added as the project
evolves. The primary foci of the task force has been twofold. First, working with Parks, CIS and FAM staff to create an
inventory of existing amenity and streetscape improvements on the Pearl Street Mall and the downtown. This
provides the detailed budget necessary to ensure that capital replacement funds are in place for these existing
investments. The second component has been the recommendation for areas for future streetscape and
infrastructure improvements. Initial streetscape reinvestment was included in the 201 1 Capital Bond.
FAM prepared a detailed replacement schedule spanning 10 years.

FACILITIES AND ASSET MANAGEMENT
2013-2018 Capital Improvement Program
Funding Overview
Facilities and Asset Management (FAM) CIP includes two funds:
Capital Development Fund
The Capital Development Fund accounts for development fees to be utilized for the construction
of capital improvements related to new development and growth. Funding for the Capital
Development Fund is provided through the development excise tax (DET) and impact fees.
In 1987, DET was instituted to fund capital improvements related to growth and is paid by new
commercial and residential development. Beginning in 2010, excise taxes previously collected
for new construction for Fire, Housing and Human Services, Library, Police and Municipal Facilities
ceased and were replaced with impact fees. In addition, Parks and Recreation was added to the
list of departments collecting impact fees.
Table 6-1: Capital Development Fund Balance - 2011 Year-End
Account DET Balance Impact Fee Balance
Library $1,977,643 $64,702
Municipal Facilities $1,791,860 $40,198
HHS $728,867 $20,978
Police Department $749,803 $41,420
Fire Department $6,338 $42,241
Parks and Recreation N/A $443,013
Total $5,254,511 $652,552
Facility Renovation & Replacement Fund
The Facility Renovation & Replacement Fund (FR&R) accounts for major maintenance (projects
>$3000), renovation and replacement projects for FAM maintained buildings, structures and
property. The majority of FR&R funding is received as a transfer from the General Fund (GF) and is
used to fund projects for FAM maintained buildings and structures. The FR&R fund also receives
funding from restricted and enterprise funds for specific departmental projects including
remediation work. The FR&R fund is an internal service fund managed by FAM.

Relationship to Guiding Principles and Prioritization
CIP Guiding Principles
The proposed 2013 - 2018 CIP is consistent with the CIP Guiding Principles in that 1) all projects
(except those noted below) are consistent with Council accepted master plans; FAM's Master Plan
147
Facilities and Asset Management
was last adopted in 2005 and is currently under review), 2) capital improvements are designed to
achieve community sustainability goals, 3) funds to operate and maintain projects have been
identified, 4) adequate financial capacity and flexibility is available to respond to emerging,
unanticipated needs, 6) projects sustain or improve maintenance of existing assets before
investing in new assets, 7) projects have been identified to meet legal mandates, improve public
safety and reduce annual operating costs and improve efficiency, 8) projects have been
coordinated with other departments, 9) the CIP provides sufficient reserves to allow the ability to
address emergencies and natural disaster. As projects are developed, improvements may also
require building code updates, safety and security enhancements and added efficiencies to reduce
energy consumption and operating costs.
Prioritization
In accordance to the FAM Master Plan and under current fiscally constrained funding, essential
facilities are maintained to industry standards and remaining facilities at standards commensurate
with available funding. Energy efficiencies projects, such as the work accomplished through the
Energy Performance Contracts, are funded if budget neutral or if there is less than a three year
simple payback.

5 Essential or Non-Essential Discretionary4
6 Essential or Non-Essential Deferred
In addition, FAM prioritizes its projects based on the type of facility and type of work as shown
below:
1 . Essential Facility: A facility necessary to sustain the most basic core of city services such as
public health and safety and/or compliance with federal or state laws particularly during an
emergency event. 26 facilities are identified as "essential" in the City of Boulder such as the
Municipal Building, Park Central, New Britain, Public Safety Building, Municipal Service
Center, Fleet Services, Fire Stations, North Boulder Recreation Center and East Boulder
Community Center.
2. Essential Work: Work that is performed for life, health, and safety-related situations. Also
includes work that is needed so that a city service can be provided.
3. Desirable Work: Work that does not meet the essential or discretionary definition.
4. Discretionary Work: Work that is not required but would be defined as "nice-to-have."

Project Description
Replace existing emergency back-up generator that has reached its life expectancy and is undersized with a new
generator sized to accommodate the full load for fleet services. Since Fleet Services is required to support critical
emergency services such for Police, Fire, Transportation and Utilities, the growing electrical needs over the past 20
years have outgrown the original generator.
This project will begin when funds are collected to start the replacement, expected construction start is 2018. Since
Fleet Services is an internal service, FR&R contributions from fleet are required to fund this replacement.

The Stazio Tensile Canopy was inspected in 2003 by the contractor that originally installed the structure. All cables,
structural components and coverings were inspected and found to be sound and fully functional. Preventive
maintenance was performed on the structure. The contractor noted in their report that the covering is nearing the
end of its service life and should be replaced in approximately five years (2008). The contractor prepared a cost
estimate for replacement of the covering. This project was originally scheduled for 2009; the delay to 2013 allowable
by accomplishing minor repairs in 2010 versus complete replacement.
This project will begin in 2014.

City of Boulder
GREENWAYS
2013-2018 Capital Improvement Program
The city of Boulder Greenways System is comprised of a series of corridors along riparian areas
including Boulder Creek and its 14 tributaries, which provide an opportunity to integrate multiple
objectives, including habitat protection, water quality enhancement, storm drainage and
floodplain management, alternative transportation routes for pedestrians and bicyclists, recreation
and cultural resources. In order to maximize the overlap of objectives and to coordinate projects
along the Greenways, identification of projects for the 2013-2018 Greenways Capital
Improvement Program is done as a team effort, combining input
from Flood Utilities, Transportation, Parks and Recreation, Water
Quality and Environmental Services, Planning and Open Space and
Mountain Parks.
MUM
The Greenways CIP follows an opportunistic approach, contributing
funding toward projects that are being completed by other ~eojr
departments or private development in order to meet the various Crrr
objectives of the Greenways Program. The Greenways CIP also
looks to leverage funds with outside agencies in order to move
;1•
projects forward that meet more than one objective of the
p ~ .1; ~ .4 ~
GreenwaYs Program but may not be the highest priority when
evaluating any one particular objective. Projects included in the rya,rA
Greenways CIP are typically called out in the Greenways Master Plan
and are projects that Greenways staff can take the lead in
coordinating.
Funding Overview
The total 2013 Greenways capital budget is $345,000, with $105,000 in the operating budget.
Greenways projects are funded from the Transportation Fund, Stormwater and Flood Management
Utility Fund, and the Lottery Fund. Annual funding distribution for the Greenways Capital Program
for 2013-2014 is as follows:
• Transportation: $97,500
• Flood Utility: $97,500
• Lottery Fund: $150,000
Starting in 2015, the Lottery contribution is expected to be reduced to $125,441, based on
Greenways receiving 15% of the city's funding allocation, with a projection of total Lottery
proceeds being $836,275.

Accomplishments and Highlights
Projects Completed in 2012
• Fourmile Broadway to Violet (Violet Crossing): Flood
improvements and a multi-use path connection between
Broadway and Violet along Fourmile Canyon Creek were
completed in conjunction with a private development in April
, 4
2012. Greenways and Flood Utilities provided funding`{
contributions toward this project.
New multi-use path constructed in conjunction
• Fourmile 26th to 28th Streets: A multi-use path connection with the Violet Crossing development
along Fourmile Canyon Creek from 26th to 28th Streets through
the Elks Park is expected to be constructed during the summer of 2012. This project is
funded by Safe Routes to Schools, with Greenways funds contributing toward habitat
improvements.
Projects Expected for Completion in 2013
• Goose Creek Restoration Project. A Feasibility Report was completed in February 2011 by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for a Section 206 Restoration grant for Goose Creek
between Foothills Highway and the confluence of Boulder Creek. Federal funding for the
design and construction of this project has been allocated for 2012. The city's 35%
funding match is being met by credits from city owned real estate.
Projects Starting in 2013, but Not Completed
All of the following projects will be in the design phase during 2013. All projects include flood
mitigation, multi-use paths and bicycle and pedestrian underpasses.
• Wonderland Creek Foothills to 30th
• Wonderland Creek (28th Street underpass) Kalmia to Winding Trail
• Fourmile Canyon Creek at 1 9th Street
• Fourmile Canyon Creek Upland to Violet.
Highlights of 2013-2018 Projects
The focus of the 2013-2018 Greenways CIP is on flood mitigation, bicycle and pedestrian multi-
use paths and underpasses, and habitat and water quality improvements along the Fourmile and
Wonderland Creek corridors.
In addition to the projects along Fourmile Canyon Creek and Wonderland Creek, possible habitat
restoration projects during the next few years include:
188
Greenways
• Stream bank restoration along Boulder Creek at Eben Fine Park
• Confluence of Bear Creek and Boulder Creek at Foothills Community Hospital
• Dry Creek habitat improvements through Flatirons Golf Course
• Goose Creek, railroad to 47th Street tree plantings
• Fish Passage enhancement projects in association with Fishing is Fun grants
• South Boulder Creek minimum stream flow
• Removal of Russian Olive trees east of 75th Street along Boulder Creek.
During 2011, a conceptual design for a stream bank restoration plan in
Eben G. Fine Park was initiated. A design consultant was hired and two
public open houses were held to solicit input and comments. The
conceptual design was reviewed by the Greenways Advisory Committee
and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Greenways also partnered
with the Open Space and Mountain Parks Department during 2010-201 1
-,rte to construct a fence along Fourmile Canyon Creek between 28th Street
' and the Pleasantview Soccer fields in order to preserve habitat and water
mquality.
Ima
Goose Creek restoration project will begin The Greenways habitat crew also works closely with Parks and Open
in 2012.
Space maintenance staff on collaborative projects as part of the
operations budget. In addition, the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District completes
maintenance projects along the major drainageways. In 2012 this includes the repair of a drop
structure in Boulder Creek at 55th Street, which will reinforce a sanitary sewer line and allow for
fish passage. Stream bank erosion will also be addressed. A second Urban Drainage maintenance
project is under design along Fourmile Canyon Creek upstream of Broadway. This project will
include the construction of a sediment trap and selective thinning of vegetation.
Relationship to Guiding Principles and Prioritization
Greenways projects address many of the CIP guiding principles. Greenways projects are identified
in multiple master plans and meet the community sustainability goals. Most of the Greenways
projects leverage outside or interdepartmental funding. Greenways habitat improvements seek to
be sustainable and are intended to reduce the future maintenance required.
The Greenways CIP has been developed within the context of and is consistent with the Boulder
Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP), the Transportation Master Plan (TMP), the major drainageway
plans, the Comprehensive Flood and Stormwater Master Plan and the Greenways Master Plan. The
Greenways Master Plan was updated in 2011 to reflect improvements that had been completed,
and adopted changes that have been made in other master plans, city policies and ordinances that
affect the Greenways Program since the last Master Plan update in 2001. Information from other
189
Greenways
existing master plans for seven additional tributaries was also incorporated into the Greenways
Master Plan update. Future opportunities will also be coordinated with the Open Space and
Mountain Park's Grassland Plan and Visitor Master Plan and Trail Study Area plans where
appropriate.
Transportation and flood utility projects were identified from the Transportation Master Plan, and
the major drainageway plans, and intra-departmental meetings were held to determine project
priorities and timing. Private development activities were also evaluated. Many of the Greenways
projects shown in the CIP are being designed and constructed in coordination with major flood or
transportation improvements. The Greenways funding associated with these projects focuses on
habitat restoration, water quality improvements and trail connections. In addition to leveraging
funding with the Transportation and Flood Utilities budgets, funding for Greenways projects is
also available through the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District and Federal Transportation
funds.
Deferred Projects, Changes and Unfunded Needs
Since the Greenways Program is opportunistic, taking advantage of projects that are funded
through other departments, there are no unfunded needs.
The Wonderland Creek from Foothills to 30th Street was granted Federal Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP) funds in the amount of $2 million (2012-2014). Additional TIP
funding was recently granted for the Wonderland Creek at 28th Street project in the amount of
$900,000 (2013-2014). This has made it possible to move Greenways and Flood Utilities funding
previously shown in 2016 and 2017 from this project to the Fourmile Upland to Violet project.
On-going discussions have occurred related to the s.
budget of the Greenways program being, ;
reflected in the CIP budget. As part of the 2012 budget, r pfd'

2013-2018 Capital Improvement Program
Funding Overview
Since the 2010 CIP, de-Bruced property tax revenues have been the primary ongoing funding
source for the fledgling Information Technology CIP, supplemented by limited operating transfers
from departments such as IT. This resulted a 2012 fund balance of slightly over $1.1 million
dedicated to critical projects outlined below. Several critical citywide information technology
projects amounting to roughly $4.4 million were included in the recently-approved 2011 Capital
Improvement bond including: replacement of the city's financial, human resources and payroll
software, replacement of the citywide permits and licensing system, website and on-line service
enhancements, asset and maintenance management software improvements, and expansion of
the city's document management system.
Though not yet elements of the CIP, the Computer Replacement Fund (CRF) and the
Telecommunications Fund (TF) (both referred to as "internal service funds") have been used to
progressively accumulate replacement reserves for existing personal computers, server
equipment, network infrastructure, central telephone systems and associated operating system
and database costs.
Accomplishments and Highlights
Projects Completed in 2012
• Conduct financial management/ERP needs assessment: Formally assess software and
business process change requirements associated with the replacement of financial,
human resources and payroll systems.
• Conduct/Tsecurityaud/ts/assessments: Using outside evaluators, conduct previously
unfunded comprehensive security assessments of citywide IT systems and operating
practices. (Funded by IT operating transfers).
• Redesign the city's website: Design and implement a new website and associated content
management system.
• I mplement a Constituent Relationship Management (CRM) system (funded by CIS bond
proceeds but not included in original ITStrategic Plan): Provide web-based software for
citizens to submit and track service requests and obtain information on city services.
• Implement IT project portfolio management software: Implement a system to prioritize
projects, allocate staff resources, and track our large volumes of IT requests. (Funded by
IT operating transfers.)

system replacement, seek opportunities to improve asset and maintenance management
automation among several separate systems in current use.
• Pilota business intelligence system: In conjunction with the major system replacement
projects listed above, implement pilot technologies that collect, store, analyze, and report
on data - presenting a management-level view (e.g., dashboard) of the results.
Highlights of 2013-2018 Projects
• Complete 2009-2073ITStrategic Plan projects: The initiatives listed above represent the
outstanding projects from the original 2009-2013 IT Strategic Plan. In late-2012, a major
update to this Plan will begin covering the years 2014-2016. Expected highlights of this
plan are included in the "Emerging Needs" section below.
Relationship to Guiding Principles and Prioritization
The 2009-2013 IT Strategic Plan serves as the Master Plan for major, citywide automation
initiatives over the planning horizon (mid-2009 through 2013). The plan resulted in the
identification of five (5) major technology investment goals with individual projects alignment with
one of each, and classifies projects into the five goal areas using the city's business model
approach to establish relative priorities. Below is the comprehensive list of both completed and
pending projects from the Plan.

With approval of requested software enhancement funds in the 2011 Capital Improvement Bond
initiative, most near-term software application needs identified in the IT Strategic Plan horizon
(209-2013) are being addressed.
Unfunded Projects and Emerging Needs
Though critical short-term technology investment needs are significantly aided by the one-time
funding from the recent Capital Improvement Bond initiative, current annual IT CIP funding
allocations of roughly $350k annually will not address the funding needs associated with new,
203
Information Technology
emerging software-based automation opportunities that will continually arise. In addition, current
ongoing CIP funding will not address the need to accumulate reserves for future replacements
and/or expansion of critical enterprise software (e.g. finance and payroll) and departmental
systems (e.g. police records management, parks and recreation registration, court case
management and many others).
From a broader perspective, the Computer Replacement and Telecommunication internal service
funds currently used to accumulate reserves for future IT infrastructure replacement (e.g. PCs,
networks, servers, telephones, etc) are based on a funding model that only accounts for the
replacement of current systems. Particularly as mobile computing infrastructure needs (e.g.
mobile devices, wireless networks, virtualized servers, associated security systems) expand
significantly over the next several years, we lack capital funding to address infrastructure capacity
expansion needs to sustain them.
A major focus of the pending major update to the IT Strategic Plan (2014-2016) will include
identification and costing of expanded automation and deferred capital replacement needs. At a
basic level, it is anticipated that the updated Plan will move beyond planning for the needs of only
enterprise systems (those impacting nearly all departments) by expanding to include the critical
business and automation needs of individual departments - including current critical systems
without future replacement funding strategies.

2013-2018 Capital Improvement Program
Funding Overview
Open Space and Mountain Parks' CIP projects are funded from two sources, the Open Space Fund
and the Lottery Fund. Ninety two percent of Open Space Fund revenues derive from dedicated
sales and use tax collections. There are three sales taxes that support the Open Space Fund: the
0.40% sales tax has no sunset; the 0.33% sales tax expires December 31, 2018; and the 0.15%
sales tax which expires December 31, 2019.
Open Space and Mountain Parks also expends Lottery Funds on CIP projects. The Lottery Fund
derives its revenue from the Conservation Trust Fund. These funds are not restricted to OSMP.

Relationship to Guiding Principles and Prioritization
Guiding Principles
All proposed projects in the 2013 - 2018 CIP are consistent with the applicable guiding principles.
Sufficient funds in our operating budget have been identified for ongoing maintenance and
operations. Most projects in the proposed CIP go towards maintaining and improving existing
assets. These projects are called out in the Visitor Master Plan and/or the subsequent West Trail
Study Area Plan. These projects add to the quality of life and visual appeal of our community that
help to attract employment opportunities and sustain job retention in the Boulder Valley. Many of
these projects improve the sustainability of our lands.
Prioritization
The over-riding factor in determining the priority of projects to work on is the direction given by
City Council to implement the WTSA Plan as quickly as possible. Within the list of projects called
for in the WTSA Plan, priority was given to projects that will have the most positive effect on
resource protection and land sustainability within the system. Additionally, some projects were
chosen due to their proximity to other large projects that are at the top of the priority list. Some
projects were selected on the basis of user safety as much as any other criteria, i.e. the under or
over pass across SH93 for Community Ditch Trail users.
New Projects
• Viele House repair and stabilization: This project will continue the repair of this City of
Boulder historic landmark;
• Interpretive signs Flagstaff Historic Cultural District: The top of Flagstaff Mountain is a
Boulder County Historic Landmark. Signs will be placed at the corresponding sites like
211
Open Space and Mountain Parks
Halfway House, Green Mountain Lodge and the Sunrise Amphitheatre to tell the story of the
history of the sites;
• Continued maintenance, repair/ stabilization and interpretation of various historic/cultural
structures and sites.
Deferred, Eliminated, or Changed Projects
At this time, no projects in the 2012 - 2017 CIP have been deferred, delayed or eliminated.
Unfunded Projects and Emerging Needs
Based on current financial projections, funds will be available to complete all the listed projects.
Emerging needs occur frequently in cultural resources as structures' exposure to the elements
takes a daily toll. It is difficult to predict repairs that will be made necessary on an emergency
basis.

Project at a Glance
Type: Land Acquisition
Department: Open Space & Mountain Subcommunity: System-wide
Funding Source: Open Space Fund BVCPArea: Area III
Project Number: 720000 Map Number: 0
CEAP Required: No CEAP Status: N/A
Project Description
This project is to acquire additional acres of open space, subject to available funding, within the BVCP Area III as well
as the areas in the Northern Tier and in Jefferson County as approved by the OSBT and City Council. Funding is
provided from the projected restricted Open Space sales tax revenue. The project includes funding for survey,
appraisal, professional fees and related acquisition and immediate management costs. This project is for an ongoing
funding program. In 2013, 53,400,000 will be allocated to acquisition of real property. During 2012, the Weiser
property was purchased. This acquisition met the following open space goals: preservation of natural areas, water
resources and land for passive recreation; utilization of land to prevent encroachment on floodplains; and
preservation of land for its contribution to the quality of life of the community. Operating costs are budgeted in the
operating budget of OSMP.
Relationship to Guiding Principles
Funding for the acquisitions supports the Open Space Acquisitions and Management Plan as approved by the OSBT
and City Council in 1999, 2000, 2005, 2008 and 2009. The conceptual acquisition area in Area III is annually
coordinated and incorporated with the Boulder valley Comp Plan.
Public Process Status, Issues
Specific purchases are recommended by the Open Space Board of Trustees and approved by City Council.
Relationship with Other Departments
The Open Space & Mountain Parks department works cooperatively with other City Departments, primarily Parks and
Recreation, Greenways, Transportation. Utilities and Planning. The department also works with and promotes inter-
governmental cooperation with national, state and local conservation and Open Space programs, such as Boulder
County Open Space, Louisville, Lafayette, Superior and Longmont, Colorado Open Space Alliance (COSA), LOCO,
Colorado Dept of Natural Resources, CDOW and others including the Trust for Public Lands, The Conservation Fund

Department: Open Space & Mountain Subcommunity: System-wide
Funding Source: Open Space Fund BVCPArea: Area III
Project Number: 935000 Map Number: 0
CEAP Required: No CEAP Status: N/A
Project Description
This on-going program provides funding to purchase underlying mineral interests from private owners or others as
they become available on the real estate market. Many of these interests in minerals, gas, oil and aggregates were
severed from the lands before properties were purchased by the City and could cause future management issues.
Funds also provide for research, mapping and analyzing potential acquisitions. This project is for an ongoing funding
program. In 2013, 5100,000 will be allocated to acquisition of mineral rights. The Mineral Rights Acquisition
program provides funding to purchase underlying minerals as they become available. Active negotiations are
occurring to secure mineral interests located in Section 16 in Jefferson County. No mineral rights have been acquired
in recent years that have been purchased separate from land purchases because of unavailability on the market. The
definition of a CIP project includes "the purchase of the physical assets of the community". By purchasing the rights
to the mineral, the city is purchasing a physical asset.
Relationship to Guiding Principles
Funding for these acquisitions supports the Open Space Acquisitions and Management Plan as approved by the OSBT
and City Council in 1999 and in 2000, 2005, 2008 and 2009.

Funding Source: Lottery Fund BVCPArea: Area III
Project Number: 730000 Map Number: 0
CEAP Required: Yes CEAP Status: As appropriate
Project Description
Many historic structures and visitor infrastructure features on OSMP are in need of stabilization, reclamation,
rehabilitation or replacement. Focus for 2013 will be on structures in the West Trail Study Area (WTSA). This will be
the second year of a planned seven year implementation period for projects identified in the WTSA Plan. Historic site
assessments and related stabilization, reclamation and rehabilitation will be conducted on historic structures on
Flagstaff Summit and other areas in the WTSA area- In addition, major maintenance and restoration projects will be
completed on the historic trails system that was largely constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) or by
citizen use. Additionally, renovation of various trail heads will be undertaken. Related efforts will continue across this
landscape over the planning period. This project is for an ongoing funding program. Projects worked on in 2012
include Chapman Drive switchback and cattle guard repair; Sanitas Stone Hut and Arch repair, Stockton Cabin repair;
interpretive signs for South Mesa landscape. and Hedgecock Ice House repair. Projects anticipated for 2013 and
beyond include Weiser house repair; Viele House basement repair/mitigation; interpretive signs for the Flagstaff
Historic Cultural District, and repaiO stabilize historiclcultural structures and sites as necessary.
Relationship to Guiding Principles
Restoration and stabilization of these historic facilities will meet the objective of the Open Space & Mountain Parks
Long Range Management Policies and the Visitor Master Plan.
Public Process Status, Issues
Projects are approved by the OSBT through the public process. Projects whose scope requires a LEAP are also
approved by City Council under the CEAP call-up provision. In addition, the public has input via email and public
rneetings in the trail sturdy area planning pr'ucess.

The Visitor Master Plan calls for the assessment of the trails and trailhead in selected OSMP areas. Subsequent to its
adoption, it has been determined that the whole system needs to be assessed since no part of it can be managed in
isolation: The decision was made to divide the system in to four roughly equal sections (North; East, South and West)
and to develop a trail management plan for each. The East area will, essentially, be the fourth of these sections that
will have a plan.

Project Description
This on-going project provides funding to purchase additional water rights from private owners or others for use on
Open Space for agricultural and environmental purposes. Program funding includes water acquisitions in the Coal
Creek, South Boulder, Boulder and Lefthand Creek watersheds. Funding will also be used for professional fees, legal
and engineering fees, analysis and mapping necessary to manage and protect the water rights portfolio. Because of
continuing wildlife and habitat concerns, the Open Space and Mountain Parks Resource Conservation staff will
continue to work with other City departments to assist in enhancing in-stream flow where possible. Senior water
rights can exceed 3100,000 per share. Additionally, the department has annual expenditures for the attorney fees
and engineering fees that are required, as noted in this project's description, to defend the department's water rights
portfolio. This project is for an ongoing funding program. In 2012, $200,000 will be allocated to acquisition of water
rights. The Water Rights Acquisition program provides funding to purchase additional water shares for use on Open
Space for agricultural and environmental purposes, as water becomes available in the Coal Creek, South Boulder,
Boulder and Lefthand Creek water sheds. Acquisitions in North Boulder Farmers Ditch were completed and active
negotiations are occurring for Howard Ditch water shares. The definition of a CIP project includes "the purchase of
the physical assets of the community". By purchasing the water rights, the city is purchasing a physical asset.
RelatIonship to Guiding Principles
Funding for these water rights acquisitions supports the Open Space Acquisitions and Management Plan as approved
by the OSBT and City Council in 1999 and in 2000, 2005; 2008 and 2009.

Relationship to Guiding Principles and Prioritization
Guiding Principles
The following Guiding Principles are applied when identifying and evaluating priority capital
improvement projects. The proposed projects identified in the 2013-2018 CIP are consistent
with the Guiding Principles and the current Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
• Safety / Compliance (S): Projects represent important deficiencies or safety and
compliance concerns. Project may focus on annual infrastructure repair and replacement
and/or refurbishment of park play equipment and amenities, irrigation systems, landscape
and turf upgrades and facility improvements.
• Commitment (C): Projects that are required by law or a ballot initiative, or are in-process of
development as part of a prior development agreement and/or are required to be
completed within a specific period of time.
• Efficiencies (E): The department will consistently seek efficiency improvements in both
operational and capital investments. Projects will represent important operational and/or
maintenance efficiencies resulting in improved life cycles, cost efficiencies and savings in
resources, energy or water usage (e.g., Flatirons Golf Course Irrigation System
Replacement, Computerized Irrigation System).
• Revenue (R): The department will invest in facilities and programs that generate revenues
to support valued recreational opportunities in the Boulder community. Projects will
enhance the department's ability to earn revenue beyond initial investment and operational
costs and may include possible collaboration/ partnership opportunities leveraging outside
funding sources.
240
Parks and Recreation
Prioritization
A principle objective of the 2006 Parks and Recreation Master Plan focuses on maintaining
existing parks and recreation facilities. As a result, the department has prioritized CIP projects
based on meeting essential safety and compliance considerations, as well as maintaining existing
facilities through ongoing annual repair and refurbishment programs and life-cycle replacement
programs of park playground equipment and irrigation infrastructure systems. In most cases,
projects identified in the 2013-2018 CIP are indented to improve ongoing maintenance needs.
Projects such as Urban Parks Computerized Irrigation System Replacement and Playground and
Irrigation System Replacements strive to improve long-term operational needs and protect
existing assets while reducing annual maintenance costs.
A second important objective is to improve efficiencies in operational and capital investments
resulting in extending life cycles of equipment and facilities when ever possible. The proposed CIP
projects contribute to improving citywide energy efficiency and water conservation efforts
addressing existing parks and recreational facilities. Projects are also consistent with the
communities overall greenhouse gas and carbon footprint reduction objectives. Projects such as
the Boulder Reservoir Site/Management Plan and the P&R Master Plan Update address department
wide efficiencies aimed at improving operational practices and seeking alternative funding
opportunities needed to support the department's mission.
In addition, due to new federal ADA regulations, the department is required to respond to specific
mandates and timelines to audit all parks and recreational facilities and to improve identified
facilities to meet new federal ADA regulations, The ADA Compliance Improvements project will
address the new federal mandates and ensure the department remains in compliance with access
issues for parks and recreational facilities.
New Projects
• South Valmont City Park Planning: The current Phase 1 development of Valmont City Park
is nearing completion and has been overwhelmingly successful. In order to address
increased recreation demand from the community, the Department desires to initiate a
planning process for Phase 2 of the city park south of Valmont Road. The phase 2
developments will include addition of athletic fields, a universally accessible playground,
disc golf course, continuation of multi-use paths and other park amenities. The projected
cost for the Phase 2 planning process is estimated at $150,000 for the retention of a
consultant team and extensive community engagement. The Phase 2 planning and design
process will build upon the overall Valmont City Park Concept Plan from 2008.
• Pool Replastering: The Parks and Recreation Department manages and operates 11 pools
within the city including indoor and outdoor leisure pools, lap pools and hot tubs. As part
of ongoing maintenance and repairs to recreation facilities, the Department must prioritize
and schedule the replastering of the pools in order to continue to provide safe, clean and
accessible facilities for public use. The pools must be replastered every five years and the
241
Parks and Recreation
Department must schedule funds to achieve lifecycles of the plastering. This project will
allow replastering of specific pools based on an annual prioritization schedule by staff.
Additionally, new replastering products are available that provide long-term maintenance
and operational efficiencies. Pools are an integral component in generating revenues for
the city and allowing the Department to provide recreation programs and instruction to the
community.
Deferred, Eliminated, or Changed Projects
As a result of limited capital funding for the proposed 2013-2018 CIP, in 2013-2015, funding for
the Playground and Park Irrigation System Replacement will support other critical systems needs
such as the Pearl Street Mall Irrigation System Replacement and the Urban Parks Computerized
Irrigation System Replacement, efforts that require critical timelines for completion.
Unfunded Projects and Emerging Needs
Current trends at the national and local level continue to affect facilities, programs and services
for parks and recreation in Boulder. Additional funding will need to be secured to improve service
standards for maintenance operations and to fund deferred maintenance and anticipated
development of new facilities. The department's Master Plan Update will include a list of priority
items to complete based on funding levels. Staff continues to evaluate deferred maintenance
needs, including park sites and recreation facility needs and will be implementing an Asset
Management Plan (AMP) to assist in capital and day-to-day operations. The current maintenance
and facility improvements backlog, including major repairs and replacements is significant. The
department anticipates that this backlog will continue until funding levels reach appropriate
amounts to accommodate life-cycle projections for the department's assets.
To mitigate the impacts of limited funding, staff is:
• Working collaboratively together with Facilities and Asset Management (FAM) workgroup to
prioritize funding for deferred, major and ongoing facility maintenance
• Deferring some enhancement improvements and new development projects
• Reevaluating work plans and investing in projects that mitigate ongoing maintenance and
operational expenses
• Redirecting funding or accelerating projects to achieve energy efficiencies at recreation
facilities.
The department has a total estimate of $55M of unfunded significant deficiency and high priority
projects included in the current capital investment strategy program. Key projects include:
• System-wide compliance with federal standards for the Americans with Disabilities Act
• Increased capacity and additional facilities for youth and adult sports
• Expansion of recreation centers that accommodate increased demand for weight rooms
and fitness areas

Project Description
In keeping with new national ADA regulations, the Parks and Recreation Department was required to complete an
audit of all park and recreational facilities by March 2012. The initial audit began in 2011 to assess up to 10
recreational facilities and 20 park sites and has been ongoing through 2012. The continuation of the initial
consultant-led ADA audit will follow after staff training is completed and the final comprehensive audit should be
completed by summer 2012. Upon completion of the audit, the department will have a comprehensive list, priorities
and costs for the systemwide ADA improvements. Funding has then been set aside to complete required ADA
improvements in order to meet new federal mandated deadlines with full compliance by 2015.
ADA Compliance Improvements
This project is for an ongoing funding program. In 2012, E100,000 will be spent on initial ADA compliance
measures. An additional $200,000 is allocated for FY 2015 and 2016 to complete the required improvements
identified in the audit report. In order to meet the federally mandated requirement of 33% compliance in parks and
recreation facilities by 2015, the department has also programmed recently approved capital bond funding to address
ADA compliance over the next three years on specific bond funded projects.
Relationship to Guiding Principles
Federal ADA requirements mandate that a minimum of 33% of parks and recreational facilities in our systme be
compliant by 2015.
The 2006 Parks and Recreation Master Plan also calls for ADA accessible park and recreation facilities.

Project Description
With the recent adoption of the Boulder Reservoir Master Plan, the Parks and Recreation Department must continue
the momentum of the extensive planning process by initiating the key policy recommendation of completing a site
management plan for the Reservoir that will ultimately balance the recreational use of the reservoir with the natural
resource management needs. The Boulder Reservoir is a unique regional destination that accomodates multiple
recreational uses while also maintaining water quality and ecological protection. Due to the rising demand for
multiple recreational uses, special events and resource management, the department must engage the community in
a planning process that will explore and recommend a careful balance of multiple factors in accordance with existing
budgetary conditions and the need for revenue generation.
Currently, the department has applied for a Great Outdoors Colorado planning grant to leverage our current funding
to achieve an overall estimated project cost of 5180,000. If the department is unsuccessful in obtaining the grant
funding, the scope will be reduced to only focus on the resource management portion without the full site planning
process.
Relationship to Guiding Principles
The Parks and Recreation 2006 Master Plan includes several goals and strategies that directly relate the Boulder
Reservoir and the Site Management Planning process including maintaining and protecting our parks and recreation
facilities, becoming economically sustainable, engaging a broader range of the community, becoming a
communitywide leader in environmental sustainability and enhancing our quality of life.
Public Process Status, Issues
An extensive public process will continue from the recent master plan process that will engage all members of the
community as well as specific user groups to determine desired future conditions, key management indicators,
monitoring techniques and levels of acceptable change. This public engagement process will allow the community to
assist the department in developing an adaptive management process that will achieve the balance of multiple
recreational uses with the unique ecology of the Boulder Reservoir.
Relationship with Other Departments
The Parks and Recreation Department will continue to collaborate with all city departments as well as multiple
external stakeholders engaged in the ownership, operation and management of the reservoir.

TRANSPORTATION
2013-2018 Capital Improvement Program
Funding Overview
Investment in the Transportation infrastructure is occurring through five separate funds that are
listed below. Over the next three years, due to community support for the Capital Improvement
Bond and successful federal and state transportation grant applications, Transportation has the
great fortune to catch up on deferred capital maintenance and to add strategic connections to the
multimodal system, including Boulder Junction. These one-time funding injections are
appreciated and beneficial; however, the longer term picture still needs an ongoing solution to
cost escalation outpacing ongoing revenues. Over the next three years, the Transportation
Division is committed to timely and quality investment on both Capital Improvement Bond Projects
as well as federal and state grant projects.
Airport Fund
The Airport Fund accounts for the operations of the city-owned municipal airport and supports
airport investment. It is supported primarily by lease revenue and entitlement funds from the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Transportation Fund
The Transportation Fund accounts for construction, operation and maintenance of all major
thoroughfares, local streets, bikeways, walkways and other transportation systems. Funding for
city transportation projects comes from several different sources: .6% dedicated sales tax,
Highway Users Tax, County Road and Bridge funds, State Highway Maintenance and Landscape
Funds, and Safe Accountable Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Act - A Legacy for Users
(SAFETEA-LU) federal funds primarily support the Transportation Fund.
Transportation Development Fund
The Transportation Development Fund accounts for development fees to be utilized for the
construction of transportation capital improvements related to new development and growth.
Funding for the Transportation Development Fund is provided primarily through the
transportation excise tax (TET) revenues. The TET was instituted in the 1980s to fund
transportation improvements related to growth and is paid by new commercial and residential
development. In 2008, the Development Excise Tax rates and the percentage allocated to
transportation were increased.
Boulder Junction Improvement Fund
The Boulder Junction Improvement Fund was created in 2011 for the Boulder Junction Key Public
Improvements. Funding is provided from development related revenues generated in the Boulder
Junction Area that will be reinvested into Key Public Improvements in this area. Transportation
283
Transportation and Airport
in addition to other money budgeted in the Transportation CIP. Other department funding
sources will also be used for these projects.
Capital Improvement Bond Fund
A Capital Improvement Bond initiative was passed by the City of Boulder voters in November of
2011. Bonds were sold in March of 2012 with three years to construct 85%of the approved
projects in the bond and five years to construct the remaining 15% of projects. Transportation
received and will construct $26 million dollars of the bond projects for much needed capital
maintenance projects and key capital improvements.

Relationship to Guiding Principles and Prioritization
Airport Fund
The Airport Master Plan was updated in 2007, and its purpose is to assess current and future
needs of the airport and provide a plan for facility and management improvements for the next 20
2 86
Transportation and Airport
years. Recommended projects were identified and categorized into a Fiscally Constrained Plan,
Action Plan, and a Vision Plan. Investments are focused on maintaining infrastructure and
facilities. Furthermore, the Airport Fund is one of a handful of general aviation airports in
Colorado which is not supported by a general fund. The airport is supported through user fees
that leverage external funding from federal and state sources for improvements and capital
maintenance. In addition to flight training and recreational use, the airport fulfills the demand of
the aviation business sector such as weather research and aviation-related design and
manufacturing that would move outside of Boulder without the airport.
Transportation Funds
All proposed projects in the 2013-2018 CIP are consistent with the Transportation Master Plan,
last updated in 2008, and its budget guiding principles. Transportation has initiated an update of
the master plan beginning in 2012. The CIP Guiding Principles share many of the same traits as
the TMP Budget Guiding Principles including focusing on maintenance of the existing system,
leveraging funds and supporting community sustainability goals.
Transportation has focused increases in the operating budget to support ongoing operations and
maintenance of the existing system as well as additions to the multimodal system. Transportation
projects are very important improvements for advancing the community sustainability goals.
Environmental - create sustainable transportation systems that allow people travel choices and
work towards lessening green house gas emissions and lowering transportation related energy
consumption. Social - Providing travel choices allows for enhanced community access for all
income levels. Economic - a safe and accessible transportation system that allows mobility and
access are key to community economic vitality and the sustainable transportation system
promotes tourism. And, the efficient movement of goods and services are also important to
economic vitality.
Each improvement is an incremental increase in the overall system that has a minor impact to the
overall maintenance costs and additional funds are being added to the operating budget to cover
increased maintenance expenses. All projects in the proposed CIP go towards maintaining and
improving existing assets. Capital maintenance is the highest priority for funding and each
project has elements of capital maintenance as existing infrastructure is removed and replaced as
part of the improvements. There is flexibility in many of the on-going CIP projects. In addition,
there is a project identified as FasTracks Local Optimization and TIP coordination to provide
flexibility in applying for grants and other leveraged funding opportunities.
Transportation projects meet legal mandates - an example is ADA requirements for transportation
improvements, and state and federal requirements are followed in purchasing and contract
administration. Public safety is also a key focus of all transportation projects - designs meet local,
state and federal standards and some funding is specifically for hazard eliminations like the 29th/
Valmont project.
287
Transportation and Airport
Leveraging funding is prevalent in the transportation CIP and extensive outside money is acquired
using the limited city transportation dollars; for example, the 201 3-2018 CIP includes just over
$17 million in leveraged projects and just over $14 million (82%) of these costs are supported by
external sources. Transportation also promotes community partnerships by working with other
agencies such as RTD, Boulder County, CU and CDOT. Many projects are capital maintenance
projects that improve maintenance needs like roadway reconstruction on the Diagonal from 28th to
30th Street and maintenance efficiencies are incorporated into the designs. Transportation
coordinates projects with other departments including water/wastewater/storm, parks and
recreation, and open space to implement improvements simultaneously to save construction and
future maintenance costs. For example on a street reconstruction the maintenance and upgrade
of underground utilities are coordinated with the reconstruction project. Transportation works to
maintain adequate reserves and flexibility in the CIP and operating budgets to respond to
emergencies and revenue fluctuations.
Prioritization
Aligning with the policies of the Transportation Master Plan is an important aspect of the
Transportation Budget's guiding principles. The TMP calls for developing a balanced multimodal
system that offers transportation choices. In Council/Board budget processes, the following
priorities and strategies have been used to develop the Transportation CIP:
• Maintain Integrity of Transportation Prioritization, in order:
♦ Maintenance and Operations (Essential)
♦ Multimodal System Expansion (Desirable)
Enhancements without system performance benefit (Discretionary)
• Achieve Sustainable Budget Over Time
• Continue Efficiency Improvements
• Maintain Leveraged Funded Projects.
Boulderjunction Improvement Fund
As a part of the adopted Transit Village Area Plan (TVAP) (September 2007, Revised August 2010)
and related 2007 TVAP Implementation Plan, several Key Public Improvements were identified for
public funding with the following key guiding principles:
• Identify mechanisms to fairly distribute public improvement benefits and burdens among
all area property owners.
• Complete key connections and improvements needed ahead of new development.
• The publicly-funded Key Public Improvements should benefit the City as a whole or
implement the vision and goals for the NAP area.
• The proposed transportation connections in this area are consistent with the adopted TMP.

Transportation and Airport
New Projects
Airport Fund
Addition of a rehabilitation project for the aircraft parking ramp was added in 2016. The project
will rehabilitate a portion of the aircraft parking ramp, which will include repairing the sub grade
and correcting drainage issues, as needed, painting aircraft movement lines and installing tie-
down anchor points after rehabilitation is done. This project will be primarily funded through the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) entitlement program that pays for 95% of the total cost for
rehabilitation of airport infrastructure. The remaining 5% is split between CDOT and the Airport
Fund.
Transportation Fund
Valmont & 29th/Hazard Elimination Project was added in 2014. This project consists of adding a
traffic signal at the intersection of 29th Street & Valmont and the addition of associated left turn
lanes on Valmont Road. The city was awarded funding for this project during the 2012
application process. The total project budget is $3,015,000; 90 percent of the project is
supported by federal funds and the remainder is supported by city match funds. The focus of the
project is to enhance pedestrian and bicycle crossing safety in the 29th Street corridor. The
project also serves to create a finer grid of transportation connections consistent with NAP.
Deferred, Eliminated, or Changed Projects
Transportation Fund
• Funding for the 28th Street: Baseline to Iris improvements project was increased $800,000
in the 2013-2018 CIP to restore the original budget. In the last CIP, funding for this
project was reduced in an effort to provide sufficient match dollars for the 28th Street Path
Improvements: Iris to Valmont DRCOG TIP project.
• The DRCOG TIP project for Pearl Parkway Multi-Use Path: 30th to Foothills experienced two
changes as the result of a TIP amendment. First, the project received additional federal
funding of $705,000. Second, the full amount of the budget was moved up to 2013 when
a portion was previously budgeted in 2014 to better align the project completion timing
with projects in the Boulder junction area. The TIP amendment also included funding for
the Wonderland Creek at 28th Street Underpass project within the Stormwater & Flood
Management Utility CIP.
• Additional funding was budgeted into the 201 3-201 8 CIP to replenish funding for DRCOG
TIP/FasTracks local match dollars. A total of $1,450,000 was added to this match in 2013
and 2014. This additional allocation better positions the city to take advantage of
leveraged projects in future DRCOG TIP processes, other funding opportunities that may
arise or for smaller projects identified through the FasTracks Local Optimization (FLO)
effort, and other match obligations that may emerge from the FasTracks program.
289
Transportation and Airport
Transportation Development Fund
The Transportation Development Fund experienced one change in the 2013-2018 CIP. An
addition of $200,000 was budgeted in 2018 as signal installation and upgrade costs are budgeted
every four years.
Boulder Junction Improvement Fund
The Boulder junction Improvement Fund CIP did not experience substantive changes in specific
transportation projects, with the exception of changes in cost estimates. The 2013-2018 CIP
reflect revised project cost estimates due to changing circumstances, updated conceptual
engineering plans and the inclusion of inflation assumptions (as original implementation plan cost
estimates used 2006 dollars). These changes were communicated to City Council in an update for
the Boulder Junction Phase I Implementation Plan February 21, 2012. As supported by the Capital
Investment Strategy Committee and Council, the Capital Improvement Bond Fund allows early
investment in Boulder junction Transportation-related Key Public Improvements, which means a
loan from the General Fund was not needed for this purpose.
Unfunded Projects and Emerging Needs
Funding Required for Unfunded Improvements
The unfunded projects list in the Transportation Fund is informed by the Transportation Master
Plan 2008 update. This plan included four funding levels-Current Funding, Complete Streets,
Action Plan, and Vision Plan. The estimated cost for reaching the Complete Streets level of
enhancements and maintenance is $115.8 million beyond current funding, through 2025. This
level of funding would include improved access to FasTracks facilities in various city areas,
completing the 28th Street improvements including transit accommodation from Pine to Walnut,
improved transit service, other high priority community connections and increased operations and
maintenance funding of more than $1 million a year.
Emerging Need: New Transportation Revenues
The costs of operating and maintaining the existing system continue to rise, and take up more of
the available funding each year, rising to 80% of spending in 2010. This limits the funding
available for capital enhancements to the system, and remains a significant unmet need. The 2011
Capital Improvement Bond and associated projects provide some relief through funding of
significant deficiencies in maintenance of the system, but will not address on-going operational
and maintenance needs which continue to grow.
In 2006, the Blue Ribbon Commission was created to help establish a stable revenue stream for
the city. The Commission identified an expanding funding gap as the cost of providing city
services is outpacing revenues. Potential sources of transportation funding were identified and
suggested for further research. As a result, the Transportation Advisory Board prepared the
2 90
Transportation and Airport
Transportation Funding Report which can be found at [http://www.bouldercolorado.gov/files/
Transportation_Master_Plan /fundin_report_final_709 small-pdf version.pdf].
This report suggested the most viable revenue sources are a Transportation Maintenance Fee,
Development Excise Taxes, and market based revenue opportunities such as advertising on transit
shelters and other infrastructure in the public right-of-way. Increased funding for transportation
could help complete the core transportation infrastructure identified in the Transportation Master
Plan and also meet industry standards for maintenance and operation of the system. The
Transportation Division returned to Council in the 1 st quarter of 2012 to continue the discussion
of stabilizing long-term revenues for operations and maintenance and received support to
implement a community task force to further develop a Transportation Maintenance Fee (TMF) and
to investigate additional transportation finance mechanisms that Council supported at the Study
Session. Staff will return to Council in late 2012 and early 2013 to discuss the next steps on
Transportation Funding.

Project Description
This funding is for improvements on the 28th Street corridor from Baseline to Iris. The multi-use path improvements
on the west side of 28th from Baseline to Colorado are being constructed this year. Money is available for this
project in prior year budgets. The next project planned in the 28th Street corridor is the "28th - Transit and multi-
use path improvements Project from Pearl to Valmont beginning construction in 2013. Improvements to the multi-
use path on the west side will be funded with the Capital Bond - Transportation New Multi-Use Path Connections
funding and this will be supplemented with money from this project for the third shared transit/bike lane.
The planning study and the CEAP for the southern section-Baseline to Arapahoe and the northern section-Pearl to
Iris, are complete and have been approved by City Council. Recommended improvements include: Urban design,
landscaping, streetscape improvements throughout the corridor, transit service and facility improvements including
queue jumps, super stops and route modifications: bike and pedestrian facility improvements including constructing
multi-use paths; adding raised crossing at free right turn lanes-, traffic efficiency improvements including adding left
turn lanes at various intersections and widening the Boulder Creek bridge. Funding for the northern and southern
sections has been and continues to be included in this CIP and has been combined with federal funding and the
Transportation Development Fund. Project funding began pre 1997 and will end post 2018. In addtion, the BVRC
Connections Plan addresses improvements in the middle section from Arapahoe to Pearl. Minor improvements were
coordinated with the 29th St. development and the multi-use path on the west side of 28th is funded throught the
Capital Bond funds. Other improvements to the Arapahoe to Pearl section are not included in this CIP item.
Portions of the 28th Street corridor implementation completed to date include all of the south section from Arapahoe
to Baseline once the west side of 28th between Colorado Ave. and Baseline Rd that is completed this year. In the
north section from Pearl Street to Iris Avenue, the intersections at Iris Ave., Pearl St. and Valmont - s. to Bluff Street
have been improved along with the installation of pedestrian crossings and bike/buslright turning vehicle lanes in
the vicinity of the intersections.
The 28th Street project has been included in the CIP as an ongoing funding program and is funded in both the
Transportation Fund and the Transportation Development Fund.
Funding for the next project planned in the 28th Street corridor - the "28th - Transit and multi-use path
improvements Project from Pearl to Valmont that will begin construction in 2013.

This section of the 28th Street on-going project is anticipated to complete construction in 2014.
Relationship to Guiding Principles
This project is consistent with the Transportation Master Plan and the plan's focus on Multimodal Corridors.
Multimodal corridors are the major transportation facilities which accommodate auto, bus, bicycle and pedestrian
travel. The project will address and balance the needs of these modes. 28th Street - Iris to Arapahoe is the highest
ranked multimodal corridor and 28th Street - Arapahoe to Baseline is the 3rd highest ranked corridor. The project
achieves sustainability goals by providing alternative travel choices that when used reduce green house gas emissions
and reduces the demand for transportation energy use. There is flexibility in continuous funding to allow for
projects to be implemented incrementally overtime. Every transportation project has some element of capital
maintenance as some of the existing transportation assets are replaced and improved. And, the projects meeting
legal mandates including ADA requirements and safety features.

Project Description
This CIP project provides the city's share of funding from the Transportation Fund for transportation facilities in the
Transit Village Area Plan (NAP), currently referred to as Boulder junction. The city's share of these improvements
pays for improvements with community wide benefits or enhancements beyond those required of development.
These improvements will be phased with the redevelopment of the area over many years. The city's share of funding
will contribute to construction of an enhanced junction Place as a new collector, bike lanes and pedestrian amenities
on junction Place, multiuse paths, underpasses and connections, pedestrian connections, pedestrian lighting, and
traffic signals.
This project is for ongoing funding until 2014. In 2013, this transportation money will be used to supplement the
amount needed for key public improvements that were identified in the Transit Village Implementation Plan. There
are many other funding sources for these projects as identified in the "Boulder junction Fund - 250," and Capital
Improvement bond funding passed in late 2011.
Relationship to Guiding Principles
The NAP contains a detailed connections plan and streetscape guidelines. The improvements that will be
constructed as part of this project are specifically identified and costed out in the NAP.
Public Process Status, Issues
The TVAP was the result of a three year planning process that included design charrettees, open houses and
numerous meetings with property owners in the area. The plan was approved by Planning Board and City Council,
with recent affIFYIe11drT1ent tU the plan in early 2012 for the Pearl Parkway Multiway Boulevard, and annendnlents to
junction Place street segments.

Project Description
This CIP funding is intended to construct infrastructure improvements in coordination with or prompted by potential
private development. Throughout the year situations arise where infrastructure improvements are required in the
vicinity of a proposed development, should be made at the same time as the development and for which a developer
can not be required to construct. Improvements that are typically included are bike and pedestrian, functional
efficiency, safety, system preservation, and transit system improvements. Project funding is ongoing. This project is
growth related because it addresses needs from new development.
This project is for an ongoing funding program. In 2013, the money will be used for issues that arise during the year
that are small items required to be constructed as a result of development or to coordinate with a development
project. The projects are not known at this time.
Relationship to Guiding Principles
Major goals in the Transportation Master Plan include system preservation, safety, bike, pedestrian and auto
functional efficiency projects. The project meets the guiding principle of allowing flexibility to respond to emerging
needs as this money is used to fund improvements that arise because of new development projects and usually
include connections to existing facilities that are outside the development requirements.
Public Process Status, Issues
Projects generally require coordination with adjacent neighborhoods and property owners.
Relationship with Other Departments
Close coordination with the Development Review work group and the Planning Department is required.

Project Description
The Pedestrian Facilities program includes the installation of missing sidewalk links and pedestrian crossing( safety
treatments and potentially social paths and sidewalk widenings. The list of identified missing sidewalk links has
been prioritized for construction. Crossing treatment improvements are prioritized citywide and include median
refuge islands, crosswalk lighting, flashing signs, neck-downs, signing, lighting and/or pedestrian signals. The
Pedestrian Crossing Treatment Installation Guidelines (PCTIG) were updated in 2012. The approved Pedestrian
Crossing Treatment guidelines will be used to evaluate future pedestrian crossing treatment.
This project is for an ongoing funding program. In 2013, the money will be spent on completing missing links on
LeHigh Drive from Galena Drive south to the OSMP trail head. It will also be spent on pedestrian crossing treatments
at the next highest identified pedestrian crossing location at Range Drive north of Arapahoe and Valmont/Edgewood
Drive at 24th Street.
Relationship to Guiding Principles
According to the Pedestrian Policy Plan of the 2003 Transportation Master Plan, an intermittent pedestrian system
that strands pedestrians at the end of unfinished sidewalks or forces them into awkward traverses or hazardous
street crossings discourages walking. In an effort to increase pedestrian activity and encourage walking as the basis
of all means of travel, a completed sidewalk system is necessary. Adding features to the pedestrian network such as
missing sidewalks links and pedestrian crossing 1 'safety improvements is consistent with the Transportation Master
Plan. The project meets the sustainability goals by providing alternative travel choices that when used reduce green
house gas emissions and demand transportation related energy sources. All projects provide some level of capital
maintenance as existing assets are replaced.
Public Process Status, Issues
TAR approved the Proposed Prioritized list of Missing Sidewalk Links on May 10, 2004. TAR made a recommendation
to support the use of the Pedestrian Crossing Treatment Installation Guidelines in 2005 and the document went to
the City Council as information item in 2006. These guidelines were updated in 2012.
The Public Process for installing missing sidewalks links is on-going and may involve a process for one or more
locations per year. Staff works with neighborhoods and adjacent property owners on individual improvements.

Project Description
Funding is for coordination with the FasTracks implementation including bike and pedestrian improvements and
transit ammenities. This money will be used as local match to leverage against potential federal and state funding
for projects submitted in future year's DRCOG TIP submittal process, other funding match opportunities that may
arise, or for smaller projects identified through the FasTracks local optimization (FLO) process. This project is
growth related because it will be coordinated with development in the area of the FasTracks facilities- If the city
succeeds at acquiring federal funded project funds this money is used as the match money that is then transferred
into the separate project budgets and is added to the federal or state match funding.
This project has ongoing funding.
Relationship to Guiding Principles
In reference to the FasTracks Implementation projects, and as identified in the Transportation Master Plan Update
Transit Policies and the Transit Village Area Plan, the city will focus on transit access through a variety of capital
improvements including the Boulder Transit village, transit priority lanes, transit super stops, improved bike parking
and continuous pedestrian connections. And, the project allows flexibility to apply for future leveraged funding
opportunities that will meet legal mandates with the construction elements and throughout the design and
Construction process and workd towards future opportunities to leverage external investments.

Project Description
The program is intended to improve and protect the many riparian corridors that pass through the city. Elements of
this work also advance a primary goal of the TMP by providing pedestrian and bicycle facilities and encouraging the
modal shift from automobiles to alternative modes of transportation. Improvements include pedestrian,' bicycle
paths, drainage and flood control structures, and preservation and enhancement of natural features. A portion of the
capital funding for this program was shifted to needed maintenance of existing system beginning in 2002. In 2012
the money for maintenance was moved to an operating budget. See Greenways CIP; Budget section.
This project is for an ongoing funding program. In this budget year, the funding will provide transportation's
contribution to the overall greenways program and funding will be opportunistic and prioritized with the other
funding in the Greenways CIP. These funds will be combined with funding from the Stormwater and Flood
Management Utility Fund and the Lottey Fund.
Relationship to Guiding Principles
These projects will advance a primary goal of the Transportation Master Plan by providing pedestrian and bicycle
facilities to work towards the 2025 objective to reduce single occupant-vehicle travel to 25% of trips.
Public Process Status, Issues
CEAP's are completed for all significant greenways projects and are reviewed by appropriate boards. See Greenway
CIP for more detailed information.

CEAP Required: No CEAP Status:
Project Description
This project consists of signalizing the intersection of 29th Street and Valmont and addition of left turn lanes in
Valmont Road and reconstructing the adjacent bikelanes and sidewalks. The city received federal Hazard Elimination
Program funding in a 2012 application to be funded fully in 2014. The project was scoped to address safety issues at
this intersection that included one fatality. Implementing the project elements requires extending the concrete box
culvert to contain the adjacent irrigation ditch on the north side of Valmont.
This project is funded in the 2015 federal funding year and is available to the city in the middle of 2014.
This project includes 52,71 3,500 of outside funding from federal HEP funds and 5301,500 of local funds.
The project is anticipated to complete construction in 2015.
Relationship to Guiding Principles
The goal of the TMP is to provide a multi-modal transportation system. Installation of traffic signals provide access
to and across multi-modal corridors for pedestrians, bikes, automobiles and transit. The project meets the
sustainability goals by providing safer access to alternative travel choices that when used reduce green house gas
emissions and the demand for transportation related energy sources. All projects provide some level of capital
maintenance as existing assets are replaced. And, the project meets legal mandates with the construction elements
and throughout the design and construction process and is leveraging external investments.
Pu@-ic Process status, issues
At least one public meeting will be held and there will be individual meetings with adjacent property owners.
Relationship with Other Departments
New traffic signal installations are coordinated with Xcel Energy, which provides power to operate traffic signals. We
will also coordinate with public and private utility's for any utility impacts and the ditch company for impacts to the
irrigation ditch on the north side of Valmont.

UTILITIES
2013-2018 Capital Improvement Program
Funding Overview
Each of the city's three utility funds is established as a separate enterprise fund designed to
finance and account for each utility's facilities and services. Funding for the Utilities Division
capital improvement program is derived primarily from monthly utility fees. The 2013-2018
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) was developed using the following proposed 2013 revenue
increases from monthly utility fees:
• Water - 3%
• Wastewater - 5%
• Stormwater/ Flood Management - 3%
It is anticipated that these rate increases will result in a typical residential customer's annual utility
bill increasing by $29.00. Any revenue increases for 2013 will be reviewed by the Water
Resources Advisory Board and considered by City Council. Approval of revenue increases that are
different from what is listed above may impact the 201 3-2018 CIP.
In addition to the monthly utility fees, significant revenue sources include Plant Investment Fees
WIN from new development or redevelopment and hydroelectric sales to Xcel Energy. Sales from
monthly utility fees can be variable and reflect the overall
growth of the service area and yearly weather fluctuations. i Via.;: ;t ' ~ ,w `
Other revenue sources include reimbursements from the Urban V %X
Drainage & Flood Control District (UDFCD, this is for
41-
stormwater/ flood management projects), Colorado Department I t~ ]
of Transportation (CDOT) state and federal grants, and revolving .e f.~}r
loans from the Colorado Department of Public Health and

Environment (none anticipated at this time). These revenues
are project specific and are highly variable depending on the
external agency's funding situation and priorities. Currently, 75th Street Wastewater Treatment Plant
the following projects are anticipated to qualify for such
revenues:
• Pre-Flood Acquisition
• Wonderland Creek
• Fourmile Canyon Creek
• South Boulder Creek
If the above mentioned funds are insufficient, projects may be funded by issuing revenue bonds

Utilities
Accomplishments and Highlights
Water Utility
• The Water Utility Master Plan (WUMP) was completed and accepted by city Council in
September 2011. The plan updates the Treated Water Master Plan (2000) and general
planning information and population projections. The WUMP pulls together all of the
previously separate master plans for different aspects of the city's Water Utility.
Completion of the WUMP represents a major planning milestone for the Utilities Division.
• Almost 10,000 feet of old deteriorated water pipe was replaced. Pipe is being
systematically replaced based on information from the asset management system that
tracks factors such as pipe age, material, break history, type of break, diameter, system
pressure and soil type.
• The roof of the Chautauqua Water Storage Tank was replaced and work completed in April
2012.
• A construction contract for the Boulder Canyon Hydroelectric Modernization Project was
executed in 2011 and work is underway with project completion anticipated in the 3rd
quarter 2012.
• A construction contract for remediation work at Kossler Reservoir was executed in 2011
and work is underway with project completion anticipated in the 2nd quarter of 2012.
Wastewater Utility
• The city is currently engaged in a major rehabilitation /improvement project at the 75th St.
Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF). The project will replace the existing chlorine
disinfection system with an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system, improve the biosolids
digesters, and upgrade the headworks. The project is expected to be completed in April
2013.
• A new discharge permit was issued to the city by the State of Colorado in May 2011 and
includes some new more restrictive effluent limits for various water quality parameters.
City staff commissioned an engineering analysis called the Nutrient Compliance Study
(NCS) in early 2012 to determine the need for capital improvements due to the new permit
limits. For more information and next steps, see the highlights section below.
• Certification information concerning the existing flood levee protecting the WWTF was
submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in late 2011. The
information is intended to be sufficient for FEMA to accredit the levee.
• Analysis and recommendations for improvements to the city's IBM Pump Station were
completed. This study included an analysis of the pumps and wetwell capacity, the rags
removal system, as well as structural, mechanical, and electrical physical inspections. For
more information and next steps, see the highlights section below.

Utilities
Highlights of 2013-2018 Projects
Water
• Annual funding for waterline replacement continues at a rate of $2,100,000 in 2012
dollars. This should be sufficient to maintain the current service level, as defined by water
main breaks, over the next decade. However, in 2013 total funding of $3,000,000 is
proposed in order to provide for the replacement of additional waterlines located in
residential streets scheduled to be reconstructed by the city's Transportation Division as
part of the recently approved Capital Investment Bond Program. Completing water main
replacement just ahead of street resurfacing results in significant savings since pavement
restoration costs can be eliminated. Coordination also reduces the risk that the useful life
of a newly reconstructed street will be impacted by a main break.
• It is recommended that the city continue its annual maintenance program of the Barker
Gravity Line by prioritizing pipeline repair projects based on the most critical needs,
providing enough earthen cover to protect the pipeline, and anchoring the pipeline in
areas prone to landslides. Replacement or lining of pipe sections are options that may be
used in different parts of the pipeline.
• It is recommended that capital funding be allocated in the 2015-2016 time period to
address issues related to aging equipment at the Betasso Water Treatment Facility.
• The Carter Lake Pipeline is scheduled to begin design work in 2017, and is considered the
best long-term solution to water quality, operational and security vulnerability issues
related to drawing water directly from either the Boulder Feeder Canal or Boulder
Reservoir.
• The Barker Dam outlet facilities are over 100-years old and in need of significant
rehabilitation. Design work for this project will begin in 2017.
• The timeline associated with the lining of Wittemyer Ponds has been accelerated due to
Denver Water's planned enlargement of Gross Reservoir.
Wastewater
• Funding for the annual Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation projects continues at of rate of
$500,000 in 2013 escalating at 4% annually to over $600,000 in 2018.
• In March 201 1 the city received a new discharge permit for the 75th Street wastewater
treatment facility (WWTF) with an effective date of May 1, 2011. The city was successful in
negotiating an extended schedule which requires compliance by December 1, 2017.
• Nutrient Criteria, specifically Regulation #85 and Regulation *31, were adopted by the
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) in March 2012. The
criteria will pose serious treatment challenges for the WWTF and will undoubtedly cause
significant financial impacts. Approximately $13.5 million of funding has been allocated in
2020 (outside of this year's budget planning horizon) to address Regulation #85.
Regulation #31 contains much more stringent provisions and, if fully promulgated,
344
Utilities
estimated improvement costs are in excess of $100 million. Funding for this regulation
would be needed beginning in 2027.
• A comprehensive list of WWTF rehabilitation projects has been identified in the 20-year CIP
based on staff input, engineering studies and the asset management database. For the
current 6-year CIP, funding for the rehabilitation projects has been allocated to various
WWTF components as shown in the detailed CIP list.
• The CDPHE is requiring that the city provide overflow protection at the IBM Pump (Lift)
Station. Additional funding is recommended in 2013 to address this and other issues
related to this aging facility.
Stormwater and Flood Management
• The Wonderland Creek Greenways Improvement Project is proposed to implement flood
mitigation measures along Wonderland Creek from just upstream of Iris Avenue to
Foothills Parkway and extend the multi-use trail from Foothills Parkway to the intersection
of Iris Avenue and 30th Street.
• TIP funding was granted in early 2012 for the Wonderland Creek at 28th Street project in
the amount of $900,000. Total project cost is estimated to be $4-$5 million.
• A project along Fourmile Canyon Creek includes 100 year flood mitigation at 19th Street,
multi-use path and an emergency access connection from 19th Street to Tamarack. Total
estimated cost is $1.4 million.
• Funding has been allocated for the mitigation of South Boulder Creek flood hazards in
2015.
Funding is recommended in 2013 to increase the capacity of Boulder Slough along the
north side of Pearl Street. This project would be performed in conjunction with the
Transportation Division project - Pearl Parkway Multi-Use Path: 30th to Foothills.
Relationship to Guiding Principles
The proposed Utilities Division CIP is consistent with these guiding principles in that 1) all projects
(except those noted below) have been identified and prioritized through Council accepted master
plans 2) capital improvements are designed to achieve community sustainability goals, 3) funds to
operate and maintain the project or program have been identified, 4) adequate financial capacity
and flexibility is available to respond to emerging, unanticipated needs (except for the WWTP
permit issue identified below, 5) the maintenance and enhancement of city-wide business systems
is captured elsewhere in the CIP, 6) projects sustain or improve maintenance of existing assets
before investing in new assets, 7) project have been identified to meet legal mandates, maintain
public safety and security, leverage external investments, promote community partnerships,
reduce operating cost and improve efficiency, 8) capital projects have been screened through a
cost/benefit analysis, 9) the CIP provides sufficient reserves to allow for a strong bond rating and
the ability to address emergencies and natural disasters.
345
Utilities
The projects identified in the 2012-2017 CIP are intended to implement these guiding principles
and are consistent with the department master plans identified below.
In 2002 it was decided to develop an overarching master plan for each of the City's three utilities.
More detailed plans have been developed for major functional areas. Recent master plans include
recommendations for CIP projects over a 20-year time period. The project recommendations
consider the prioritization listed below as well as information from the Utilities Division asset
management system. This system includes replacement cost, useful life and condition rating
which have been documented for each significant utility asset. This information informs the six-
year CIP.
Current Utilities Division master plans include:
Water
• Source Water Master Plan - 2009
• Treated Water Master Plan (TWMP) - 2011
• Water Utility Master Plan (WUMP) - 201 1 .
Wastewater
• Wastewater Collection System Master Plan - 2010
• Wastewater Utility Master Plan - 2010.
Stormwater/ Flood Management
• Stormwater Master Plan -2007
• Comprehensive Flood and Stormwater (CFS) Master Plan - 2004.
Prioritization
The overall program and funding priorities are reflected in the timing of projects over the six-year
CIP time period. In addition to master plan recommendations, the following factors were
considered in determining the overall program and funding priorities:
Water and Wastewater
• Reliability of water and wastewater collection, delivery and treatment
• Water quality and other environmental regulations
• Worker health and safety
• Opportunity to collaborate with other city projects, such as transportation
• Opportunity to collaborate with other utility providers to leverage funds or obtain federal
or state grants
• Potential for operation and maintenance cost savings
• Accommodating new growth and development.
346
Utilities
Stormwater and Flood Management
• Life safety (high hazard) mitigation
• Flood emergency response capability
• Critical facility (vulnerable population) hazard mitigation
• Property damage mitigation
• Collaboration with other Greenways Program Objectives
• Potential for operation and maintenance cost savings
• Accommodating new growth and development.
Within current appropriations all projects proposed have sufficient funds for ongoing operations
and maintenance, and 90% of the Water Utility and Wastewater Utility projects are focused on
maintaining or improving existing assets. Other Water and Wastewater Utility projects are
intended to construct facilities required to comply with new regulations. In the Stormwater and
Flood Management Utility, the majority of the project funding is focused on life safety and critical
facility hazard mitigation issues.
Projects Not in Master Plans
There is only one project that is not currently identified in a Council approved master plan - the
Boulder Slough flood mitigation project. This project was recently identified based on 1) updated
analysis and mapping of Boulder Slough and 2) ability to collaborate with the Transportation
Division East Pearl St. improvement project. Funding is recommended in 2013 based primarily on
the ability to leverage funds with the Transportation Division. This project will be highlighted
during the public hearings with WRAB, Planning Board and City Council to confirm its priority and
recommended funding.
New Projects
The following new projects have been identified in the 6-year CIP:
Water
• Construction of Pearl Street Hydrolectric / Pressure Reducing Facility
• Security improvements at Lakewood Dam
• Lining of Wittemyer Ponds
• Construction of Carter Lake Hydroelectric facilities.
Wastewater
None.
Stormwater/ Flood Management
• Improvements to Four Mile Canyon Creek - Upland to Violet
• Construction of increased capacity at the Boulder Slough.
• Improvements to Wonderland Creek at 28th St.
347
Utilities
Deferred, Eliminated, or Changed Projects
Funding for several projects has been deferred beyond the current six-year CIP period or reduced
during the current six-year CIP period because of revenue limitations and construction costs
inflation.
Projects that have been delayed due to budget limitations include:
Water
• Carter Lake Pipeline (funding delayed, begin design in 2017)
• Carter Lake Hydroelectric (funding delayed, begin design in 2018)
• Barker Dam Outlet (funding delayed, begin design in 2017)
• Barker Dam Hydro (funding delayed, begin design in 2017).
Wastewater
• Improvements in the "Goose Creek 5 Master Plan Project" basin (funding delayed, begin
planning in 2017).
Stormwater/ Flood Management
• Upper Goose Creek Drainage (funding reduced).
It should be noted that the proposed CIP assumes funding for the replacement/rehabilitation of
existing Utilities assets at a level of 75% of the predicted rate based on a recent asset
management analysis. Staff believes this will be adequate and sustainable since renewal and
rehabilitation techniques and approaches can be accomplished at a lower cost than complete
replacement.
The proposed CIP budget should be adequate to address essential projects within the six-year
planning time frame. The delays in the projects listed above are not expected to have a significant
negative effect on the service level of the city's utilities systems. Therefore there are no unfunded
needs identified within the 6-year CIP.
However, to continue to meet capital project needs, including the recommended asset
replacement goals of 60-75% and compliance with permit regulations, higher utility rate increases
will be needed in the near future as indicated in the following table. The preliminary 2013
increases are in bold.
Tablel 2-2: Utility Rate Increases
~11~
Water 3% 3% 4% 4%
Wastewater 3% 5% 5% 5%
Stormwater/Flood Management 3% 3% 3% 3%
348
Utilities
Staff will continue to monitor and refine the asset replacement analysis and adjust the actual
replacement rate within the 60-75 percent range as part of the annual budget process. Asset
replacement at 75 percent of the predicted level has been used to formulate the 201 3-2018 CIP
budget.
Unfunded Projects and Emerging Needs
Construction Cost Inflation
Construction cost inflation is tracked using the Engineering News Record (ENR) Cost Index for
Denver and the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Colorado Construction Cost Index.
The ENR index is a composite index based on costs for: 1) local portland cement, 2) local 2x4
lumber, 3) national structural steel, and 4) local union wages plus fringes for carpenters,
bricklayers and iron workers. The CDOT index is a composite index based on costs for 1)
unclassified excavation, 2) hot bituminous pavement 3) concrete pavement, 4) structural steel and
5) reinforcing steel. The ENR index is more reflective of equipment and building construction
such as projects that occur at the treatment plants. The Colorado Construction Cost Index is more
reflective of heavy civil construction such as roadway and major drainageway work. The following
table presents information concerning these indices through December 2011:
Table 12-3: Changes to ENR Index and CDOT Index
Running Average Yearly Change
ENR Construction Cost Index for Denver 8% 4% 5%
CDOT Colorado Construction Cost Index 7% 2% 9%
Based on this information it is recommended that capital improvement construction costs be
escalated at a rate of 4% during the planning period. This is an increase from the 3% construction
cost inflation rate estimated in previous annual budgeting processes.
Emerging Needs
Emerging needs have been identified as part of the recent Water Utility Master Plan. During the
development of this master plan, a technical analysis was performed regarding the city's water
treatment facilities and other infrastructure. The analysis indicates that this infrastructure should
be adequate to meet water demand needs well into the future with little need for capacity
expansion. However, a comprehensive analysis of existing assets pointed to the poor condition
and aging of some mechanical and electrical equipment at the Betasso WTF. The Betasso WTF is
the city's primary water treatment facility and has deteriorated during almost 50 years of
349
Utilities
continuous operation despite on-going maintenance and rehabilitation. These issues, combined
with inherent deficiencies in certain treatment process, are the reasons that large capital funding
is recommended in 2015-2016.
Regulatory changes are another source of uncertainty and create emerging needs. For example, as
explained in the Accomplishments and Highlights section of this memo, the city received a new
discharge permit for the 75th Street WWT in 2011 with new effluent limits. Complying with these
limits will require a combination of regulatory negotiations, environmental studies and WWTF
capital improvements.

Description
Project The city completed a remapping study of the South Boulder Creek floodplain in 2007 and a risk assessment in 2009.
The revised floodplain now includes approximately 700 structures in the 100-year floodplain, an increase of
approximately 240 structures. The risk assessment estimates over $200 million in damages would result from a 100-
year storm event.
The Utilities Division is currently exploring mitigation alternatives, with the focus on mitigating impacts in the West
Valley area. Flood mitigation alternatives have been narrowed to five, further refined and a staff recommendation
made. The analysis and staff recommendation will be presented to the public, boards and City Council in late 2012
and early 2013. Funding for flood mitigation alternatives analysis began in 2010.
The mitigation alternatives range in cost from 135 to 148 million. Funding shown in the CIP is intended as seed
money in the hopes of securing outside grants or federal money to complete the selected alternative. The cost of
design, property acquisition and construction will be dependent on the final selected alternative.
This project is being coordinated with U.S. 36 improvements.

Project Description
This project involves providing overflow protection at the IBM lift station per the Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment (CDPHE) regulations. Additional funding is recommended in 2013 to address this and other
issues related to this aging facility. An engineering consultant report commissioned in 201 1 provides an analysis of
the pump station's hydraulic and storage capacity, power redundancy, as well as other rehabilitation issues. Some of
the current 2012 funding is being used to complete an inflow and infiltration (1&1) study to attempt to quantify the
volume of storm water entering the wastewater collection system during rain events. Following completion of the I&I
study some of the 2012 funding will be used for the design of the recommended pump station improvements. The
remainder of the 2012 funding and the additional 2013 funding will be used for the construction of the design
improvements.
This project will begin in 201 1.
Costs:
1. Planning. S 50,000
2. Land Acquisition: S 0
3. Construction: S 1,000,000
The project is anticipated to complete construction in 2014.

Project Description
This project will fund the decommissioning of the Marshall Landfill Treatment Facility. The facility was originally
constructed to eliminate groundwater contamination at the original landfill site. The money will be used for landfill
cap maintenance and repair and demolition of the groundwater treatment facility.
Based on EPA approval, the groundwater collection system was shut down on Nov. 30, 2004. The treatment plant and
collection system equipment will need to be preserved. In addition, there are approximately 1 80 sampling and
monitoring wells located on the site, many of which are no longer used or necessary. Part of the shutdown process
will entail sealing the unnecessary wells in place. This work would be required by the EPA as part of the Superfund
site decommissioning process.

for the 75th Street wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) with an effective date of May 1, 201 1. Additional or new
permit requirements that will require some level of investment to comply with include: 1) substantially lower daily
maximum ammonia effluent limits; 2) a new daily maximum nitrate effluent limit; and 3) a substantially lower arsenic
effluent limit. The city was successful in negotiating an extended compliance schedule which requires compliance
with the ammonia and nitrate effluent limits by December 1, 2017. A two year compliance schedule was provided to
comply with the arsenic effluent limit. Complying with the ammonia, nitrate and arsenic effluent limits will require a
combination of regulatory negotiations, environmental studies and WWTF capital improvements. Staff has identified
funding in the 2013-2018 CIP to address improvements that will be required to meet the new effluent regulations.
The 2013 and 2014 funding will be used to provide new probes, instrumentation and controls at four plant locations
including the headworks, centrate, aeration basins, and the plant effluent. The 2012 funding is being used to
support an engineering analysis called the Nutrient Compliance Study (NCS). The NCS will evaluate the WWTF's ability
to meet the new discharge regulations, and will include a list of recommendations regarding modifications to existing
facilities as well as new required facilities. The 201 5-201 7 funding will be used to evaluate and construct various
plant modifications that may include carbon addition, and also to evaluate the needs of the next permit cycle.
This project began in 2012.

Project Description
This project will provide funds for repairs or replacement of the existing outlet works of Barker Dam. The Barker Dam
outlet facilities are over 100-years old and in need of significant rehabilitation. The current configuration of the
outlet gates requires that Barker Reservoir be nearly emptied to perform a thorough inspection once every 5-10
years. Reconfiguration of the outlet facilities would eliminate the need to empty the reservoir for gate inspection. As
currently envisioned, the project would require construction of a vertical shaft near the north embankment, inlet
tunnels and one outlet tunnel, an outlet distribution facility, a pipeline to Barker Gravity Line, and valve house. The
outlet facilities would provide the opportunity to develop a hydroelectric generation facility. Alternative approaches to
the project will be considered by City staff and technical consultants as part of a technical analysis to be initiated in
2016. Information regarding the alternative approaches will be provided as part of the CEAP.

Project •
This project will provide funds for repairs to the existing Barker gravity pipeline. Barker Gravity Pipeline is a critical
component of the city's source water system because it conveys the city's Barker Reservoir,' Middle Boulder Creek
water to Betasso WTF. Stored water from Barker Reservoir and direct flows from Middle Boulder Creek are used to
meet approximately 35 percent of the city's annual water needs. The city has, as part of an ongoing maintenance
effort, already replaced and rehabilitated segments of the 11-mile Barker Gravity Pipeline that showed the most
degradation or highest likelihood of failure. It is recommended the City continue its annual maintenance program,
prioritizing based on the most critical needs, and also consider providing enough earthen cover to protect the
pipeline, and anchor the pipeline in areas prone to landslides or other damaging events. Section replacement or
lining are options that may each work well in different parts of the pipeline. The city should coordinate with the USFS
concerning maintenance activities on federal land. The projected funds will allow for continued minor rehabilitation
efforts (repair of leaks, siphons, etc, as has been done over the past several years) and an evaluation of pilot
replacement/ lining alternatives through 2016.
In addition, the funding for this project in 2016 will also support on-going Federal permitting issues associated with
the Barker Water System. A request has been made to convert the current Federal Energy Regulatory
Comm ission(FERC) licensed project to a FERC small conduit exemption from licensing. There are significant technical
and legal analysis and documentation required to support this request and to obtain a separate land use
authorization from the U.S. Forest Service for continued occupancy of federal land by the Barker Gravity Pipeline.
This project is for an ongoing funding program. In 2013, 5350,000 will be spent on the project as described above.

Project Number: 41 1 947 Map Number: 49
CEAP Required: No CEAP Status: NA
Project Description
This project will provides funds for rehabilitations and improvements to the Betasso WTP. The Betasso WTF is the
city's primary WTF and has deteriorated during almost 50 years of continuous operation despite ongoing
maintenance and rehabilitation. Also, pretreatment capacity limitations of the existing flocculation i sedimentation
process result in residuals that comprise more water content than desired. This results in inadequate residuals
dewatering capacity using the existing drying beds and lagoons. The city is currently using private contract hauling
services to overcome this limitation.
Funding in 2013 and 2014 will be used to fund a pre-treatment and residual study, chemical storage tanks and
piping and rehabilitation of the combined influent flow meter.
Funding in 2015 will be used for design of the major rehabilitation and improvement project.
Funding in 2016 is for the construction of the major rehabilitation and improvement project and includes:
$3,500,030 Water fund
$11,996,245 Bond Proceeds
$125,000 Bond Issuance Costs
The project is anticipated to to be completed in 2018.

Project Description
Funds have been budgeted in 2014 for re-inspection of the Lakewood Pipeline due to concerns with the original
pipeline construction. Based on observations made during the 2009 inspection it is recommended that the frequency
of inspections be reduced to one every five years. No funds have been budgeted for pipeline repair costs. Funds
would be transferred from the Lakewood Pipeline Remediation Reserve to cover the costs.

Description
Project This project provides funds for the reconstruction of waterlines that are part of the city's water distribution system.
Many of the city's existing waterlines are corroded or otherwise deteriorated and must be replaced. The city currently
experiences approximately 60-80 main breaks per year and these cause unplanned outages in water service as well
as disruption to vehicle travel and damage to public and private property. Although the number of main breaks is not
considered excessive, the average age of the city's distribution system is over 40 years and it is anticipated that
substantial funds will be required to maintain a functioning water distribution system over time. In some cases
deficiencies in this system have been identified due to fire flow requirements of the Insurance Services Office (ISO).
Funding for annual waterline replacement continues at a rate of $2,100,000 in 2012 dollars. This should be sufficient
to maintain the current service level, as defined by water main breaks, over the next decade. However, in 2013 total
funding of 53,000,000 is proposed in order to provide for the replacement of additional waterlines located in
residential streets that will be reconstructed by the city's Transportation Division as part of the recently approved
Capital Investment Bond Program. The replacement of these waterlines will be more efficient since the cost of
pavement patching can be minimized since the Transportation Division will be funding the cost of new pavement as
part of the street reconstruction effort.

Project Description
This project provides funding for the lining of Wittemyer Ponds based on the probability that Denver Water will
receive a permit for the enlargement of Gross Reservoir in the near future. Based on the Intergovernmental
Agreements (IGA) between Boulder, Lafayette and Denver Water, Boulder has agreed to use its water rights to fill the
Environmental Pool to the degree that Lafayette is unable to do so with its water rights. Long term, Boulder's Open
Space and Mountain Parks Department (OSMP) would provide the necessary water rights and the Water Utility would
provide space in a lined Wittemyer Ponds complex. However, because OSMP currently doesn't have any water rights
that can readily be used for this purpose, the Water Utility would use its CBT and Windy Gap water to the extent it
doesn't affect municipal water deliveries. OSMP would pay the Utilities Division for the water that is used solely for
this purpose since some of the water could be leased to downstream users. Detailed plans and studies are needed to
determine how this will be accomplished. Longer term, OSMP would either change the water rights associated with
some of Its ditch company shares, or acquire new water. Although lining of Wittemyer is not necessarily required to
get the Gross program underway, it would be useful to recapture the dedicated instream flow water. Without the
lined ponds, any water used for Gross will be lost and more overall water will be needed.
Funding allocated in the current CIP is for planning and design only. Construction funding (unfunded in the City
2013-2018 CIP) is allocated in the Water Utility 20-year CIP in 2019 and is expected to be fully allocated in 2019 in
the City 2014-2019 CIP.
This project will begin in 2017
Costs:
1. Planning and Design: $ 555,515
2. Land Acquisition: S 0
3. Construction: S 4,555,148 (2019)
The project is anticipated to complete construction in 2020.
Relationship to Guiding Principles
This project is consistent with the goals of the water utility as specified in the Boulder Revised Code and the Water
Utility Master Plan.
This project is consistent with the guiding principles based on the following considerations, 1) projects have been
identified and prioritized through a Council accepted master plan; 2) capital improvements are designed to achieve
community sustainability goals; 3) funds to operate and maintain the project or program have been identified; 4)
adequate financial capacity and flexibility is available to respond to emerging, unanticipated needs, 5) the
maintenance and enhancement of city-wide business systems is not relevant to the Utilities Division CIP because this
issue requires a city-wide initiative and is captured elsewhere in the city CIP; 6) projects sustain or improve
maintenance of existing assets before investing in new assets; 7) projects have been identified to meet legal
mandates, maintain public safety and security, leverage external investments, promote community partnerships,
reduce operating cost and improve efficiency; 8) when applicable capital projects have been screened through a
cost/benefit analysis; 9) the CIP provides sufficient reserves to allow for a strong bond rating and the ability to
address emergencies and natural disasters.
Public Process Status, Issues
The strategy for public process will be defined during next year's budget process.

City of Boulder
Appendix B, UNFUNDED PROJECTS
2013 - 2018 Capital Improvement Program
The provision of adequate urban facilities and services to support the community's quality of life
is a core tenet of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan. The Capital Improvement Program is a
major tool for coordinating and targeting public capital expenditures within changing budget
constraints. The goal is to maintain and, in some cases, enhance service levels and standards over
time, with new growth paying fair share of the costs.
Historical Funding Patterns in Boulder
The city has a rich history of investing in the community and its quality of life. Prior to the 2000s,
the community consistently invested significant resources in capital facilities. Funding was
provided through a combination of ballot measures for specific facilities and land purchases,
federal funds, and discretionary revenues. Examples of investments include:
• Buying park lands and open space
• Providing and upgrading public facilities such as libraries, recreation centers and sports
fields
• Building places for community business and services such as the municipal campus
buildings and operations centers such as the "Yards"
• Building multimodal community connections such as the Greenways system, bikeways, and
intersection improvements
• Investing to create special places like the Pearl Street Mall and Chautauqua area. Today,
community members and visitors continue to benefit from these many facilities and lands
on a regular basis.
The 2000s, by contrast, were economically difficult more often than not at local, regional,
national, and even global levels. The cost of delivering services and taking care of our
infrastructure has increased dramatically. Global demand has resulted in the cost of energy and
construction costs far outpacing the consumer price index. While there has been some relief in
material costs recently, there is no sign that there will be a return to historic prices. At the same
time, there have been two economic declines, increased regional competition, and cultural change
in shopping habits impacting the revenue side of the equation. The city's revenue in absolute
dollars has not returned to where it was in 2000. Furthermore, the purchasing power of current
funding is significantly less than 2000.
477
Appendix B, Unfunded Projects
Planning Efforts to Increase Capital Funding
At a City Council Study Session on Feb. 22, 2011, Council discussed and considered developing a
new capital investment strategy for the city based on:
• A desire to revive the historic level of capital investment in the community.
• Difficulties experienced during the 2000s that have resulted in the city's constrained
capacity for ongoing capital investment.
• Capital investments that address critical deficiencies first and high-priority enhancements
second.
• Importance of assuring that any new assets or facilities have adequate new allocations of
operating and maintenance funding.
• Methods and options for funding such capital investment needs through existing revenues
and potentially new revenues.
• Lessons learned from experiences from other Colorado communities.
• Stakeholder processes and timelines that would support developing packages for the
voters, including new revenues and bonding.
In order to create this new capital investment strategy City Council generally asked for staff to
develop a work plan and stakeholder process for Council approval. The work plan, stakeholder
process and timeline were endorsed by Council at its April 5, 2011 meeting. Council endorsed
developing a capital investment strategy with existing revenues and asking voters in November
2011 for bonding authority based on those existing revenues. Council also was open to asking the
voters for bonding authority in November 2012, with an additional ballot item asking for
increased revenues by increasing taxes and/or fees. The Capital Investment Strategy committee
was appointed by the City Manager to make recommendations on the Capital Investment project.
The committee had two phases, "Round V was the 2011 bond package, and "Round 2" was the
consideration of a 2012 bond package.
Round 1
Ballot Issue 2A, approved by the voters on Nov. 1, 201 1 , represents "Round 1 " of the citywide
Capital Investment Strategy: a 2011 bond package that does not raise taxes and funds a balance
of significant deficiencies (defined as improvements or corrections that improve health and safety,
maintain industry standards, and/or address legal/ballot requirements) to address maintenance
and renovation of existing facilities as well as high priority facility enhancements.
To help determine which projects should be part of the 2011 bond package, the City Manager
appointed a 16-member Capital Investment Strategy stakeholder Committee in May 2011. The
committee finalized its Round 1 recommendations on July 11. The committee recommended a $49
million bond package, which was unanimously supported by City Council, and approved by voters
in the November 2011 election. The bond will pay for a list of necessary but previously unfunded
projects like roadway repair and reconstruction, park infrastructure improvements, critical
478
Appendix B, Unfunded Projects
software updates, police equipment replacement, installation of missing links in the bike and
pedestrian network, and more. For full details see the Capital Improvement Bond section earlier in
this document.
The bond requires that 85 percent of the $49 million be spent in three years. On Jan. 30, 2012,
the city broke ground on the first bond project, a multi-use path project along the south side of
Baseline, near the University of Colorado's Williams Village complex. Throughout the next few
years, there will be more construction and improvements occurring along roadways, bike paths, in
city buildings and in parks. A website has been created that will allow the community to track the
progress of implementation of the bond projects at www.bouldercolorado.gov bond projects.
Round 2
Round 2 of the Capital Investment Strategy project involved considering a bond package for a
potential future ballot that would raise new revenues with an emphasis to invest in high priority
new or expanded community facilities, including ongoing operation and maintenance costs, and
fund other significant deficiencies not addressed in the 2011 initiative.
Staff began working with the Capital Investment Strategy Committee (CISC) on Round 2 in July
2011 and held a final committee meeting on Feb. 6, 2012.
The purpose of Round 2 of the Capital Investment Strategy was to:
"Develop a bond package for possible consideration in 2012 that raises new revenues to invest in
capital projects that `make Boulder Boulder and includes ongoing operating & maintenance to
support those projects."
The CISC felt that in order for voters to approve a second round of capital improvements, which
would require a tax increase, the projects would need to be significant and inspiring with a broad
community benefit. It is important to note that because of this, the list did not include the
significant deficiencies which were considered in Round 1. Therefore, Figure B-1 is not a
comprehensive list of all unfunded needs in the city.
On Jan. 19, the CISC delivered a letter to City Council with Round 2 recommendations about:
• Timing (why 2012 is not the time to move forward on a Round 2 ballot initiative)
• Guiding principles for selecting Round 2 projects
• Top 10 projects to be considered for further study and refinement, potentially on the 2012
work plan and through master plan updates.
One of the key reasons that the CISC recommended against moving forward with a 2012 bond
initiative is that many of its highest priority projects have not yet been fully evaluated or planned,
and the projects' feasibility, scope and costs are currently unknown (or are only roughly estimated
479
Appendix B, Unfunded Projects
or described at this time). Additionally, public opinion polling conducted by Talmey-Drake
Research in early January indicates a lack of sufficient support for a 2012 bond initiative that
would raise taxes for new initiatives (see www.bouldercolorado.gov/cis under "Background").
Additional Efforts to Evaluate Unfunded Projects
The CIS Round 1 and Round 2 processes provide multiple benefits to the city including enhanced
coordination across departments, refining priorities across the city and generating input from
community members. The city is committed to quality and timely implementation of the Capital
Improvement Bond (Round 1) projects, building credibility and confidence in the community as
well as to apply lessons learned to future prioritization efforts, Master Plan updates, and the Civic
Area plan.
The status and potential next steps of the Round 2 unfunded capital projects that the committee
reviewed are summarized in Figure B-1. The projects on the list came from adopted master plans
and new ideas submitted by the city and members of the public. In the table, the projects are
listed in the order that the CISC prioritized them, based on the score that each project received in
a dot voting exercise at one of the CISC's last meetings. It is important to note that the CISC
prioritization was for projects that the committee felt were most worthy of further study.
The committee recognized that with further planning and evaluation, projects might change in
scope and cost and some might even be deemed unfeasible. Several committee members
indicated in the Round 2 debrief that they might have scored projects differently if they'd had
more information.
If the committee had recommended moving forward in 2012, projects would have been more fully
fleshed out, there would have been more time for committee discussion and deliberation along
the lines of what was done in Round 1, and there would have been a public outreach process to
get feedback on bond package options before the CISC made a final recommendation.
The CISC's top priority project-the Civic Area Plan-is currently on the city's 2012 Work Plan.
The project is expected to be completed in 2013 and will include consideration of many of the
ideas suggested in the Civic Center Cultural Complex, a project that was submitted as a "new
idea" from the public.
Master Plans
One of the most logical places to further prioritize other unfunded capital needs on the list is
through the city's departmental master plans, since City Council acceptance of master plans
provides direction on city priorities for capital improvements. Master plans include the following
key elements:
• Evaluation of program and facility needs in relation to adopted level of service standards
480
Appendix B, Unfunded Projects
• Prioritization of services, projects or programs
• Three funding plans-fiscally constrained, action, and vision.
Departmental master plans include funding plans at three levels.: 1) Fiscally Constrained Plan - a
prioritized service plan within existing budget targets; 2) Action Plan-the next step of service
expansion or restoration that should be taken when funding is available either within current
revenue sources or if new sources become available; and 3) Vision Plan - the complete set of
services and facilities desired by the community and aligned with values and policies, with
alternative proposals to fund them.
As it happens, seven master plan updates or development processes are either underway or will
be started in 2012. These include:
• Transportation Master Plan
• Parks and Recreation Master Plan
• Fire-Rescue Master Plan
• Police Master Plan
• Facilities and Asset Management (FAM) Master Plan
• Visitor Master Plan
• Housing and Human Services Master Plan.
Therefore, many of the projects in the Round 2 list will be considered and prioritized through
master plan update processes this year. While the planning processes will vary for each master
plan, most will include public outreach and all will be considered by one or more boards and
presented to City Council for final acceptance. High priority unfunded capital projects will be
identified in the fiscally constrained, action or vision plan of its respective master plan. Once
these master plan updates are complete, the unfunded list contained in the CIP will be more
comprehensive, with some prioritization.
One of the lessons learned from the CISC process is that it would be helpful if Action Plan funding
scenarios within master plans included a list of projects in order of priority. This action would
provide guidance about the desired next set of strategic capital investments for each department
if additional funding becomes available.
