The cost of the structures outlined above are based on the quantities shown in Table 4, 5, and 6.
The unit prices are based on past projects that are similar to these structures, the cost of materials
as quoted by suppliers, and input from local contractors we have worked with on other ditch
conveyance structures. A summary of the costs are shown in Table 3 and a complete breakdown
of the costs and quantities are shown in Tables 4, 5, and 6.

Table 3 summarizes the anticipated construction costs and also the engineering cost and a
factor of approximately 18 % for contingencies.

1. Costs noted are an Opinion of the Cost expected and are not intended to be construed as the exact cost of construction.

SELECTED ALTERNATIVE

The Larimer & Weld IrrigationCompany has chosen Alternative 3 as the desired alternative. The
Company does not feel the other two alternatives provide for an increase in the efficiency of their
system as does Alternative 3. Alternative 3 allows them to operate to the maximum capacity of
their system and allows for better measurement and control of the ditch flows. The new structures
would be expected to require little maintenance over the life of the loan and would have a longer
life span than the repaired structures outlined in Alternative 2.

PROJECT COST

The opinion of cost of construction of the checks is listed in the previous section in Table 3.
Following is a summary of all project costs including engineering fees and contingencies.
