Dry Creek Flood Control Plan Implementation Schedule Compilation of a realistic schedule is a key component of a successful project. The following schedule for implementation of the proposed project has been prepared taking into account the time and attention to detail required to successfully implement a complex project. Prior to preparation of this feasibility study, several years have been spent in engineering studies, meet~ngs, presentations, and one on one discussions with property owners about a project. The schedule for implementation of the Dry Creek Flood Control Plan is as follows: Completion and Submittal of Feasibility Study Form Dry Creek Stormwater Utility Meeting of Colorado Water Conservation Board Public Outreach Legislative Hearings Adopt Rate Ordinance for Dry Creek Stormwater Utility Begin Collections Negotiate Agreement with Larimer-Weld Irrigation Amend City-County Intergovernmental Agreement Obtain CLOMR from FEMA Sign Formal Loan Contract with CWCB Begin to Draw on Loan Project Design Begin Construction Project Operation and Repayment October 11, 2000 October 24, 2000 November 20,21, 2000 November 2000, through June 2001 Spring, 2001 June, 2001 Summer and Fall, 2001 Summer and Fall 2001 Summer and Fall 2001 Winter, 2001 - 2002 2002 through 2004 Spring, 2002 through Jan, 2003 February, 2003 2004 to 2034 The above schedule is based on approval of a loan by the Colorado Water Conservation Board and the General Assembly in the 2000-200 I cycle of approvals. The reader will note that ifthe loan is not approved, the financial structure of the project will be greatly altered, and will affect subsequent tasks such as formalizing an agreement between Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins. An answer from the state about the loan is needed so that the agreement between City and County can be appropriately structured. For that reason, the County is requesting a hearing before the Colorado Water Conservation Board at their November 2000 meeting instead of a later meeting. The schedule also provides for finalizing a loan contract with the CWCB during winter of 2000, 2001. This will allow time for the City and County to finalize their agreement before the County signs a contract with the State. This schedule will also provide time for the County to establish a record of collections from the Dry Creek Stormwater Utility before contracting with the State for the loan. During the period from June 2001 through January 2002, the CLOMR will be prepared and submitted to FEMA. Finally, it is expected that the CLOMR will be approved prior to finalization of the loan contract, and the final design process will be initiated immediately after. 25
