Authorization for assistance is through the Colorado <br />Water Conservation Board Loan Program that was <br />developed to address needs of local ditch companies. <br /> <br />B. Alternatives <br /> <br />1. Do nothing. <br />2. Construct all structures out of concrete. <br />3. Construct all structures out of a combination <br />steel and concrete, which is the preferred <br />alternative. <br /> <br />4. The reason the preferred alternative was selected <br />was because of the lower cost. <br /> <br />C. Feasibili ty <br /> <br />1. Each structure will cost approximately $5333.31 <br />for material and installation. Total project cost <br />would be around $69,333.03. <br />2. Possible sources and availability of cost share <br />funds would be through the CWCB Loan Program and <br />in-kind funds from the Company.
