Re: Robbins Reservoir Feasibility Study

Dear Mr. Martin:

I am writing in response to your letter of October 3rd to John Van Sciver and Landmark
Engineering's scope of services dated October 16 for the Robbins Reservoir Feasibility
Study.

With regard to the scope of services, we would like to make the following suggestions:

1. An introductory paragraph giving a description of the project, project purpose, and
general location would be helpful.

2. Each of the bullet items in the scope of work could use a sentence or two of
description as to what that particular task involves. For example, the "Project Sponsor"
bullet should include a listing of the items regarding the project sponsor to be described in
the report.

3. It's not clear whether "Water Rights and Water Storage Requirements" includes an
estimate of the physical and legal availability of water for the project as well as project
yield. Both are needed for a determination of feasibility.

4. The scope of services does not include a ta'sk for the institutional aspects of project
implementation such as permits, any necessary court actions, contracts or agreements with
other entities.

If Landmark Engineering has not done so, it may be worthwhile for them to review
Chapters 2.0 and 4.0 of the Guidelines for Financial Assistance through the Colorado
Water Conservation Board Construction Fund to be sure they are familiar with the
