<br />Water Supply Reserve Account - Grant Application Form <br />Form Revised May 2007 <br /> <br />recommendations with respect to the new ownership group, changes in rules and regulations since the work was <br />completed, and changes in technology that have occurred. The project team will be lead by Applegate Group with <br />Mike Applegate serving as senior advisor to in-house engineering. J. A. Cesare and Associates who was involved in <br />the preliminary work will provide geotechnical expertise in this review. Evaluation of District 64 needs will be <br />completed to determine base requirements for local water users. Modernization of the proposed project will <br />consider SCADA (Supervised Control and Data Acquisition), telemetry and automation. The possibility of <br />installing a well system adjacent to the South Platte in place of diversion facilities on the Peterson Ditch will be <br />evaluated in conjunction with Task 1 above. There may be more flexibility in diverting with pumps that can turn on <br />whenever the river conditions allow diversions under priority. The construction cost estimates will be updated to <br />reflect current prices and projected forward for the contemplated project completion. Detailed estimates on <br />reoccurring annual facilities and maintenance costs will also be prepared. The Dam Safety regulations have also <br />been updated recently which has some added requirements for obtaining a permit. An example is the seismic <br />analysis with regard to dam foundation liquefaction currently requires a more rigorous analysis. <br />Deliverables for this task will include: <br />1. A revised preliminary construction cost estimate reflecting anticipated schedule of the project. <br />2. A preliminary analysis and estimated costs of facilities operations and maintenance that are expected for the <br />foreseeable future of the project. <br />3. An engineering report summarizing the results of the review. A description of the recommendations for any <br />modifications to the project configuration will be outlined based on the new ownership group. Any <br />recommendations for modernization or updates to technology will be detailed and broken out in terms of <br />associated costs. The results of using an alternate well field approach for diversion will be reported in <br />comparison to the original concept of using the Peterson Ditch. <br />The total fee for Task 2 is $24,000 <br /> <br />Task 3 - Julesberg Irrigation District and Peterson Canal Options <br />The project team will evaluate the potential partnership and opportunities that can be established with the Julesberg <br />Irrigation District (Jill) with respect to incorporating their Peterson Ditch into the project as originally <br />contemplated. A carriage agreement was negotiated with GASP in the original project. This agreement is non- <br />transferable and has been the subject of discussion on how the new arrangements may be drafted. Since the <br />unknown of who will be participating in the ownership group outside of the District 64 Reservoir Company is still <br />unanswered, these discussions have been tentative. The Applegate team will provide engineering technical support <br />services to the management group and legal counsel of District 64 lead by Joe Frank and Bennett Raley. Mike <br /> <br />9 <br />
