. tA) tA) Q W . . CHAPTER II GENERAL APPROACH TO THE WORK specialized sub teams which will function as separate entities but each will remain responsible to the rest of the team. Possible sub teams include engi- neering, hydrology, land use, economics, recreation, biology, sociology, and cultural -resources. Team and sub team members will be selected from those ex- pressing interest. in the study, and a willingness to participate. In addition to the team leader and secretary, the lead agency may have active representa- tives on each subteam but they will not necessarily serve as subteam leaders. .{" The team or any of the sub teams will conduct investigations as necessary and make recommendations to Water and Power for appropriate action. It w~ll seek public input into environmental scoping, alternative plan formulation and evaluation, and recommended plan selection. It will provide input and recom- mendations to the lead agency for feasibility report and environmental assess- ment preparation and review those documents as discussed in Chapter V. Professional services contractor The professional services contractor will be selected by the Water and Power Resources Service from highly qualified firms, institutions, or consor- tium of firms and/or institutions. How Selected The qualifications of all interested contractors will be reviewed by Water and Power and those deemed to be most capable will be asked to submit technical and cost proposals for the salinity investigation of the G1enwood-Dotsero Springs Unit. A work statement has been prepared by Water and Power that de- tails the requirements on which offerors will prepare their proposals. A pre- proposal conference will be held with all firms desiring explanation of the Request for Proposals (RFP) and more particularly the requirements of the work statement. Any changes in the RFP as a result of the preproposa1 conference would be provided to all potential contractors. A Technical Proposal Evaluation Committee (TPEC) will review the submitted proposals and draw conclusions on the technical merits of each and select the best proposals. The top candidates will be interviewed and requested to submit best and final technical offers and make final reviews of their cost proposal. The contracting officer will then select the most technically responsive and cost effective offer and notify the successful firm. Responsibilities The contractor will provide professional services to investigate and ana- lyze problems and possible solutions to reduce the entry of saline flows to the Colorado River from the G1enwood and Dotsero Springs. In so doing, he will apply recognized research practices in geology, hydrology, chemistry, environ- mental sciences, economics, social impact analysis, and general engineering. The contractor(s) will develop structural and nonstructura1 alternative plans, including appraisal and possibly feasibility level designs and estimates. He will evaluate recommendations resulting from the public involvement program to 10 .)., 1..0 ,I " .," .i"lJ -" ~
