Permitting The Consultant will prepare any permitting related data not already available. The Consultant shall provide in Phase 1 a list of permits that are required and collect such data and prepare permit applications in Phase 2. The list shall be presented to the POC. The Lake Fork Water Stakeholders (LFWS), a local citizens group, has requested data on the effects of the operation of LSC on the LSC wetlands and downstream flora. A preliminary set of questions from the LFWS is attached at Appendix B. The LFWS are prepared to lead in addressing these questions or work cooperatively with the Consultant. This exact mechanism for addressing these questions is subject to further discussions. Public Information Program The Consultant shall participate in the POC-directed Public Information Program (PIP). Hinsdale County will be lead for the PIP with close support from the Town of Lake City. The following sections discuss aspects of this program that are currently foreseen. Additional public information requirements may arise that would involve Consultant participation. PUBLIC OPEN HOUSES At least two open house meetings shall be scheduled at key project milestones to present project information developed to date, to provide opportunity for the public to comment on that information, and to provide input for upcoming milestone decisions. The open houses shall be scheduled after project start-up, most probably to solicit public input into the alternative designs. The second open house shall provide the opportunity to formalize the receipt of public comments. At its discretion the POC may schedule additional public meetings. The Consultant shall, at the direction of the POC, prepare materials for the open houses, including but not limited to, agenda, presentation and handout materials, and prepare a summary for distribution. It is anticipated that the Consultant's PM should be present. The POC will direct the Consultant in answering any questions that may arise from these open houses. The POC shall review and approve all public open house materials. SMALL GROUP SESSIONS Alternative venues to address specific issues, special interests and needs, and the identification of specific impact mitigation measures may be required. These may include small issues-focused workshops, briefings for the Town Trustees, County Commissioners, and the District Board of Directors, forums, site visits, special outreach, or one-on-one meetings, and any required summaries. The Consultant shall, at the POC's direction, prepare materials pertaining to these sessions. The POC will direct the Consultant in answering any questions that may arise from these open houses. The POC shall review and approve all session materials. RFP Lake San Cristobal Project Page 9 of 15
