SCOPE OF SERVICES
Lake San Cristobal Outlet Structure

1 Introduction
The Upper Gunnison River Water Conservancy District (District), Hinsdale County and
the Town of Lake City (collectively referred to as the Proposers) are issuing a Request
For Proposal (RFP) to design a new outlet control structure for Lake San Cristobal (LSC)
near Lake City, Colorado.
The goals for this project are to evaluate options for a new outlet control structure to
allow the controlled release of up to three (3) vertical feet [approximately 960 acre-feet]
of water impounded by the structure in LSC, permit and cost the selected option, and
prepare preliminary and final design documents to take this project to bid for
construction.
The Proposers have formed the Lake San Cristobal Project Oversight Committee (POC)
consisting of two representatives from each Proposer. The POC will be responsible for
project oversight and reporting on progress to the Proposers' respective boards. The
District will serve as the formal contracting entity for this project. The District's General
Manager (GM) will serve as the Proposers' project manager, and along with the Chair of
the POC, will serve as the Proposers' representative on this project.
The RFP is structured such that the Proposers will directly fund Phase 1 and solicit SB
06-179 Basin and State funds from the CWCB via the Gunnison Basin Roundtable for
Phases 2 and 3. A preliminary schedule is July 2008 for approval of Basin funds and
October 2008 for approval of State funds. Phase 1 has a critical project schedule
associated with it as the preliminary designed needs to be available for other project
uses.
The Proposers recognize that the bidders may propose variations to this RFP's Scope of
Work. This is acceptable as long as the work meets the external requirements and
overall project objectives.
The project has three phases that are related to external factors. Phase 1 is to provide
a preliminary design that will allow the District to proceed with negotiations with the
Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) regarding its water right in LSC, and allow
Hinsdale County to proceed with a vote on the project in the November 2008 election.
Information (albeit incomplete) from Phase 1 will be used in the Proposers application
for SB 06-179 Basin and State funds. The Basin application shall be submitted on or
before May 23, 2008 and the State funds application submitted on or before July 18,
2008. The Consultant will contribute cost and other Phase 2 and 3 information for these
applications. All Phases are discussed below in more detail.
