, . , Sheek Ditch Company Agenda Item 15b May 16, 2005 (Revised May 31, 2005) Page 3 of 4 The loan request is based on the total design and construction cost estimate for the Project, however engineering design and construction oversight may be provided by NRCS as in-kind services. Design is expected to be completed by August 2005. Construction is expected to begin October 2005 and be completed in 2005 and 2006. Financial Analvsis Table 1 shows a summary of the funding sources for the project. The total estimated cost of the project is $427,200. The construction part of the Project will be partially funded by NRCS (75% level) after the Project is completed. Therefore, the initial loan amount (during construction) is $427,200, based on 100% of the estimated total Project cost. The loan will be reduced to $160,200 after the Project is complete and the Company receives funds for 75 percent of the construction costs ($267,000) from NRCS. Table 1.

The annual loan payment represents a loan cost of $5.73 per acre-foot for the Project based on an average annual delivery of 1,781 acre-feet of water.
