<br />Due to the elevation gain in the project area, a storage tank, pumps, backup <br />generator, and attendant "yard" fittings will be required to maintain pressure in the <br />line. <br /> <br />The PER estimates the total project cost to be $2,032,580. Bids will be solicited in <br />the fall/winter timeframe. Easements will also be solicited during this time. <br />Construction is estimated to begin in April 2008 and be complete by October 2008. <br /> <br />When pro.iect funding is secured, an operating agreement will be developed between <br />GPW A and MWC whereby MWC will have total operational responsibility for the <br />system (which essentially becomes an extension of their existing system). <br /> <br />Once the project debt has been retired the system will be deeded to Montezuma <br />Water Company. GPW A will then be able to terminate the insurance coverage <br />associated with the expanded system. <br /> <br />Upon approval of project funding, payment of the MWC tap and installation fee of <br />$5,700 will be required of each Association member. The funds will be placed in <br />escrow until project completion, at which time the escrowed funds will be used to <br />pay Montezuma Water Company for each member's tap subscription. <br /> <br />MWC's Board of Director's passed a "resolution" supporting this project as did the <br />Montezuma County Commissioners. We also have letters of support from <br />Colorado's U.S. Senators, Wayne Allard and Ken Salazar, as well as from <br />Representative John Salazar. <br /> <br />Goodman Point area residents have attempted to obtain a domestic water supply <br />eight times over the past 15 years. Each time, the timing wasn't right or another <br />obstacle presented itself and the attempt was unsuccessful. <br /> <br />The residents of Goodman Point, having already secured $1,772,580 in project <br />funding, respectfully request the remaining 12.8%, or $260,000 be provided by the <br />CWCB State Account to make domestic water, and increased fire protection for our <br />homes, and National Monument wildfires, a reality at Goodman Point. <br /> <br />Board of Directors <br />Goodman Point Water Association <br /> <br />Goodmalll'oillt /Vater Associatioll <br />Gralll Applicati!JIl SlImm!ll:F <br />
