<br />Issue No.9: The budget for Tasl( 6 appears to be very generous. While it is important to <br />have Meetings and stal(eholder outreach, $46,820 is a substantial amount of money and a <br />large portion of the overall budget. <br /> <br />ResDonse: Tasl( 6, Communication and Stal(eholder outreach accounts for six <br />progress meetings and five stal(eholder meetings, all of which will require travel <br />and advance preparation by the applicant's technical consultant. It is expected that <br />a significant amount of time will be needed to worl( with stal(eholders and <br />potential partners on operational and storage agreements. The applicant <br />anticipates that stal(eholder outreach will include the negotiation of conceptual <br />operating agreements with the various participants in the enlargement project. <br />These negotiations will help to define when water will be stored in an enlarged <br />reservoir, the purpose for which the water is stored, and how that water will be <br />released to meet multiple purposes. Additionally, identification and development <br />of partnering opportunities will be critical to securing adequate funding for <br />construction. In addition to outreach and progress meetings, Tasl( 6 includes <br />preparation and production of the draft and final reports for the project. Given the <br />multitude of stal(eholder interests in this project, it is expected that the report will <br />go through multiple rounds of stal(eholder review and comment before it is <br />finalized. In order to accommodate the significant need for legal expertise with <br />respect to development of operational and storage agreements, particularly with <br />the Forest Service, the applicant has revised the project budget to include <br />additional time for the District's legal consultant, Whiteing & Smith, under Tasl( <br />6. The overall project budget remains the same. <br /> <br />Total Costs <br /> <br /> Other Total <br /> Sub- Direct Project <br /> Labor contract Costs Cost <br />Task 1 - Geotechnical <br />Analysis $ 3,550 $ 89,130 $ 92,680 <br />Task 2 - Wetlands <br />Analysis $ 2,150 $ 21 ,750 $ 23,900 <br />Task 3 - Hydrological <br />Analysis $ 76,600 $ 76,600 <br />Task 4 - Legal Analysis $ 30,000 $ 30,000 <br />Task 5 - Development of <br />Operational and Storage <br />Agreements $ 18,000 $ 18,000 <br />Task 6 - Meetings and <br />Stakeholder Outreach $ 33,278 $ 8,802 $ 4,740 $ 46,820 <br />Total Cost: $ 133,578 $ 149,682 $ 4,740 $ 288,000 <br />
