ll , the value engineering and cost review was specific to rehabilitation and enlargement of , Reservoir No. 4. This was further refined in a design and review "team meeting" November 2, 2006 which included Garrett Jackson (Dam Safety Engineer), E&C Services, the Bull Creek , design team, and the President of the Company. This resulted in providing a range of costs from $1.0 to $1.3 million, with the belief being that the lower end of the range is more ' representative of the current cost of design, permitting, construction, and construction management. Also at this meeting, it was decided costs could be saved by going back to the ' original design concept of 2003/2004 of buttressing the downstream side of the dam; not disturbing or minimizir�g disturbance to the upstream face of the dam; riprapping based on a weight based specific;ation rather than size based (to take advantage of on-site riprap materials); changing tFne outlet from a replacement to lining of the existing outlet; and placing a chimney drain on portions of the existing downstream face of the dam vs. using a drainage blanket underneath th�e downstream toe. A thorough discussion of the options and costs is included in the Appendices. Rehabilitating and enlarging Reservoir No. 4 to an active storage of 418 acre feet is the Selected Alternative. No Action is unacceptable since it means the Reservoir Company could not deliver sufficient water to its shareholders, would lose senior water rights (a valuable asset), and would have reduced crops and crop failure. "75% DESIGN" PLANS and CONSTRUCTION LEVEL FINANCING COST ESTIMATES Design plans have been prepared by Water Resource Consultants, LLC and are included in Appendix D. Two construction level financing cost estimates and schedule assessments were prepared by E&C Senrices, LLC. The first were based on review of 15% design plans for the project, while the sec�nd takes into account design changes and concepts developed at a project team meeting in early November. Both are included in Appendix D. Consensus on the estimated cost of the project is $1,335,000, as summarized in Table 2. 5 The proposed enlargement: of 105.31 AF will be provided by transfer of water rights from Reservoirs Nos. 1 and 2 or by junior water rights. The Company is working with legal counsel, Water Division 5 and the Attorney Generals Office to facilitate storage rights.
