PLAN FORMULATION PROCESS

The plan formulation process includes those.activities relatedtoidenti-
fication and quantification of the salinity problem, the, identlfication'of al-
ternative plans or solutions and the selection of a preferred p1an(s). This
phase of the work is a combined effort of 'all four entities discussed in' Chap-
ter II. Phase I of the professional services contract essentially includes
the technical analysis of the work described in this section up 'to the'pb:l.nt
where a preferred plan(s) is identified.

)

Problem Identification and Quantification

Role of Water and Power Resources Service

. . ',' , .
Water and Power will monitor contractor activiti~s and review for tech~l~
ca1 adequacy his problem identification a~d quantification (PIQ) repOrt as,
discussed below.

Role of the profession~l services contractor

The contractor will compile and analyze existing data and develop a hypoth-
esis or hypotheses as to the physical and chemical processes at work in'the pro-
ject area, the mechanisms producing the salt, how the salt is emerging, the rate
at which it is emerging, where it is emerging, how it enters the riVer , and 'the
tons and chemical composition of salt entering 'the Colorado River. The'contrac-
tor will then prepare a PIQ report which will include the data and analysis that
support his conclusions and submit it to Water and Power Resources Service for
review and concurrence.

Role of the planning team ,

Since the PIQ report is primarily a responsibility of the contractor and
Water and Power, the planning team will have minimum involvement in this aspect
of the study. The team will be kept informed of the conclusions, however, as
the information in the report will have direct bearing on developing alterna-
tives and the selection of the most preferred plan.

I
Role of the public

During this phase of the work the public will be kept informed of ,the
study progress and the conclusions of the PIQ. report. The contractor 'may'
solicit information from public sources in hls preparation of the report;
