<br />Project Approach and Scope of Work <br />Given that the previous work with the Office and our project stakeholders allowed us to develop messaging, <br />program format and content, and communications protocols, we arc proposing a streamlincd scope of work <br />the includes a three-step approach which includes: <br />1) Developing the program for and promoting each of the four technical workshops and <br />forums - working with our current project team and stakcholder group (e.g., the OfTice, local water <br />intercst groups and workshop sponsors), and other important project partners, we will develop thc final <br />program for the tcchnical workshops and forums to includc appropriate local and regional speakers for each <br />setting, and forward information to those that have been idcntified as likely attendees using e-mail, and <br />various informational web sites (e.g., CWCB, Colorado Foundation for Water Education, etc.). We will use <br />email blasts to promotc the program by sending out a "Savc the Date" announccmcnt plus an announccmcnt <br />containing the program for each of thc four Water Conservation Workshops - Grecley, Pagosa Springs, <br />Grand Junction and La Junta. Our project team will also perform focused phone calling to targeted <br />organizations and elected officials to promotc the workshops and stimulatc participation. <br />This part of the project will also include planning for and engaging thc target audience to attend evening <br />policy dialogues, whcre possible, scheduled to follow the technical workshop. Thc targct audicncc mailing <br />list will be developed by our local sponsors, whereas the invitation, the em ail blast and the regular mail <br />mailing will bc prcpared by G WI and other members of our team. <br />2) Conduct four sets of technical workshops and forums, and three evening policy dialogue- <br />including presentation of materials and messages that havc been devcloped by the Office (c.g., Water <br />Conscrvation Plan Developmcnt Guidance Documcnt) and other project stakeholders (i.e. , Colorado <br />WaterWisc Council), sharing of tcchnical resourccs, and sharing of lessons learned about local and regional <br />water consen"ation successes and continuing challcnges. We will also stimulatc policy discussions to hclp <br />identify issucs rclated to water conservation planning and implementation. Finally, we will facilitate the <br />evening policy dialogue that will be scheduled with the local sponsors. <br />3) Compile and Organize Contact and Questionnaire Information - since an important componcnt <br />of this phasc of the workshops will be to obtain information from the local sponsors and workshop attendees <br />that will help the Officc to do the following: <br />. Focus its statutory programs related to technical and financial assistance; <br />. Improve its messaging to the statc's watcr users rcgarding its role and a\"ailablc rcsources; and <br />. Improve its delivery of services to water managers and water planners, espccially in arc as beyond the <br /> Front Range (wherc most of thc current water conservation planning grants have been awarded). <br />In addition, information will be collcctcd, if possible to help CWCB, and other stakcholders who can <br />contribute technical and/or financial assistance (e.g., CWWC), target organizations and entities that arc <br />looking for aid in developing and implementing water conservation measures and programs. <br />A detailed discussion of each of these threc steps is providcd below and summarized in Appendix A. <br /> 6 <br />
