DEN STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

• Winning the Hearts of our Customers – The Great Hall Program and Expansion.

• Inspiring our Employees – Improvements planned for office space and mechanical systems increase productivity.

DEN needs our projects to accomplish the following to align with strategic objectives:

• Partnering for Operational Excellence – Each project is designed to enhance the passenger experience and by extension, safety, concessionaires, and airlines.

• Investing In Sustainability – Changes necessary for the LEED Campus rating, Expansion, & Landside Development.

• Putting DEN on the World Map – Projects on the Capital Plan are designed to raise the ASQ scores as well as the JD Power Scores to make DEN more attractive to passengers and new business.

• Maximizing DEN Real Estate – Projects to remodel our space and landside development to handle more capacity.

• Excelling in Financial Performance – Each project on the capital plan makes a business case to improve the airport’s financial position in some way.

Intent of the Design Review Process

The intent of the design review process at

is to ensure that the proposed projects

and designs are compatible with, and

enhance, the aesthetic intent and design

quality of airport facilities and wayfinding

systems. This document describes the

design review process for airport

facilities and tenant

improvements and the

role the Design Review

Committee (DRC)

plays in that process.

Find it on www.flydenver.com.

DEN Design PrinciplesThis is a comprehensive collection of inspirational design directives for doing business at Denver International Airport. It was published in September of 2015. http://business.flydenver.com/bizops/documents/denDesignPrinciples.pdf

5

DEN Design Criteria

• Overall Design Aesthetic

• Passenger Facing Elements

• Materials

• Signage

• Circulation

• Lighting

• Landscape

The Design Review Committee will evaluate each design on six criteria to

determine if the design is in line with the DEN Design Principles and other

airport guidelines and standards which are posted on www.flydenver.com.

Scheduling Appointments

Appointments are scheduled with the DRC Coordinator by the City Liaison. There are three different types of meetings: the RFP initial concept launch meeting, the evolving concept Design Charrette meetings, and the official submittal for approval to the DRC.

Appointment Lead Time

The RFP and Design Charrette meetings can be scheduled with the DRC Coordinator at anytime. The coordinator will work with the design team and the DRC Chair to find a suitable time for everyone. To be added to the agenda for the next DRC meeting, all presentation materials must be submitted no later than close of business one week preceding the meeting. The DRC Coordinator can provide DEN staff with information to prepare for an appointment with the DRC. Such information can save time and effort.

Meeting ScheduleMeetings are held every other Thursday, starting at

2:00pm in the Airport Office Building, 9th Floor,

Executive Office Conference Room, at 8500 Pena

Boulevard, Denver, CO 80249, unless noted otherwise.

Design Review Meetings

11

Attendance

Attendance at DRC meetings is strongly encouraged for the DEN City Liaison responsible for the project and the applicant seeking DRC approval. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that the DRC is able to obtain timely answers to their questions regarding the proposed project and to enable all parties to process the approval in a timely manner.

Agenda and Allotted Time Protocols

Staff Presentation: 1-3 minutes

Applicant Presentation: 10 minutes

DRC Discussion and Action: 5-10 minutes

All times will be adjusted depending on the number of items on the agenda.

Set Up

All electronic presentations must be given to the DRC Coordinator a week ahead of time as presentations will be set in the queue prior to the start of the meeting. The City Liaison and design team will wait outside the room until asked to come in.

Design Review Meetings

12

PresentationsAgenda time allocation will be at the discretion

of the DRC Chair and DRC Coordinator.

Allocated presentation times by the

tenant/designer are no more than 10 minutes.

Exceptions may be made at the discretion of

the DRC Chair depending on the nature and

complexity of the project being presented.

Information ItemsInformation items may also be placed on the

DRC agenda and scheduled in increments of a

maximum of 5 minutes and presented by the

DRC City Liaison. These items are not seeking

approval and do not require action by the DRC.

Design Review AgendaThe agenda will be published prior to the

meeting along with presentation materials for

review by the committee prior to the meeting.

After the agenda is published, no additional

items will be added.

Design Review Meetings

13

City Liaison Introduction

City Liaisons give a brief overview of the project, including the purpose, intent and location. The City Liaison should also give background information including brand elements, previous business agreements (RFP language) that is pertinent to design, and a summary of any previous DRC submissions and comments.

Applicant Presentation

Applicant should be prepared to present at the DRC meeting. Supplying the DRC with a complete application and information will avoid unanswered questions and the need for further meetings. Applicants shall refer to DEN’s guidelines posted on www.flydenver.com for design criteria, standards, and guidelines.

Design Review Meetings

14

Design Review Committee Action

The DRC will discuss the presentation with the applicant during the meeting. The verdict will be determined by the DRC with a motion being made and seconded during the meeting, and it shall fall in one of the following categories.

• Approved

• Approved with comments

• Revise and Resubmit

• Rejected

In the week following the meeting, meeting minutes will be sent out to DRC members and to the City Liaisons for distribution to the applicant.

Design Review Meetings: Protocols

15

Review and Approval by Consent

A consent review is when an item is sent out to the committee for review without presentation. Because this process does not allow for discussion, it is rarely a favored option. In order for an item to be considered for consent review, it must meet all of the below criteria. It must also receive permission from the DRC Chair to be considered as a consent item.

Consent Criteria

1. Projects with complete application submissions as determined by the City Liaison.

2. Projects that clearly meet design guidelines with the City Liaison’s recommendation for approval without conditions.

3. No known opposition to the project being proposed. These shall be routine and non-controversial items.

Examples: Approvals of signs which clearly meet design guidelines or Re-submittals of projects that clearly have met DRC comments of previous submissions.

Review By Consent

16

Design Submittal Process

Applicants are required to provide a complete submission application as well as an electronic version (PDF) of the submittal package for the DEN City Liaison to review prior to the final submission to the DRC Coordinator.

City Liaison Review

The DEN City Liaison will verify the submission is complete before final submission to the DRC Coordinator. If items are required that were not submitted by the submittal deadline, the item may not make it onto the agenda for the following week.

Submittal PackageSubmittals shall be electronic except for material boards which are limited to 24” x 36” in size. Submittal components are listed on the following pages.

Submission Requirements

17

The DRC Submission Application

This application is required to be completed for every submittal every time and given to the City Liaison for delivery to the DRC Coordinator. This form is important to track the history of DRC reviews. We will know better where to go when we know where we have been!

Submission Requirements

21

Following Design Approval

The tenant, or the tenant’s representative, must report any deviation from the final approved design to their DEN City Liaison, which then must be reviewed and approved by the DRC.

Following construction, the City Liaison performs a design-compliance review of the premises to ensure that all elements of the project conform to the DRC-approved design.

In the event the Airport finds elements that do not conform to the final DRC-approved design, the respective DEN City Liaison will contact the applicant in order to rectify the problem.
