<br />~ n" ., <br />~u;).i.. <br /> <br />-4- <br /> <br />distance. We have assumed that tbe local dune sand and other <br /> <br />silty and sandy materials available along the axis would reduce <br /> <br />I <br />, <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />length of baul to 1 mile average and that excavation will be above <br />water table and quite economical for the major volumes involved. <br /> <br />The attached Figure I shows the maximum embankment section <br />and criteria utilized by our firm in the cost estimates for Lower <br /> <br />Weld County Dam. We have used the U.S.B.R. unit costs, except <br />where we disagree substantially. Table 2 attached shows the de- <br /> <br />tails of the estimates indicating that the total field cost for <br /> <br />the dam, spillway, and outlet works at the Lower Weld County site <br /> <br />would be approximately $27,660,000. <br /> <br />Design af Narrows Dam <br /> <br />We have reviewed the design and cost estimate by the U.S.B.R. <br /> <br />for the dam at the Narrows site on the same basis as the Weld <br /> <br />County site. We essentially agree with the estimate as given, <br /> <br />except that, in our opinion, blanketing of the right side of the <br />reservoir- would be- requirecC for -3 -cons f<leraoIe llisU-n(fe-\1pstream- - - <br /> <br />for stability reasons. However, if the blanketing is included as <br /> <br />has been done in our estimate, we believe that the drain wells <br /> <br />included in tbe U.S.B.R. estimate for control downstream of the <br /> <br />dam would not be necessary. These essentially balance so that the <br /> <br />cost differential between the U.S.B.R. estimate and that made by <br /> <br />our firm is minor. Details of the estimates are given in the <br /> <br />attached Table 3 shOWing that the total field cost for the dam, <br /> <br /> <br />spillway, and outlet works,~~"~<<.,~rrDWs site would be approxi- <br /> <br />, .._--~; <br />mately $16,000,000.
