Larimer County ‎(2)‎

• Grant Type: FEMA
• Fiscal Year ‎(i.e. 2008)‎: 2007
• Project Name: Larimer County DFIRM Project
• CWCB Section: Watershed & Flood Protection
• Contract/PO #: C154013, 154032
• Grants - Doc Type: Scope of Work

• Scope: Preliminary Research Activities can. be separated into two categories-researchiaig effective
information and researching available data f~r the Flood Map Project. The following tasks shall be
completed to research effective information: inventory the FEMA archives for effective F1RM panels,
F~IBM panels, FIS reports, and other flood ha:aard data or existimg study data; summarize the information
in the MNUSS database; summarize contigu<aus community agreement checks; review CAV and CAC
files; aaid develop a"scoping map" and an ove~rview of the results of the research.
The following tasks shall be completed to research available data for Flood Map Project: identify
potential base map information; identify poteiitial topographic data; identify potential flood hazard data;
and identify other potential hydrologic and hydraulic informa~ion and data.
St~ndacds: All work under Activity 2 shall b~, performed in accardance with the standards specified in
Sectiorr 5 of this MAS. An Available Data Inventory template is provided in Appendix I, Subsection L 1.6
of the "Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping I'artners".
Deliverables: A Potential Data Inventory digital document.

Task 2-5 Potenti~l Obstacles
Respornsible Partrner: CWCB
~ Scope: The Project Management Team shall i~~entify potential obstacles in an effort to learn of any issues
that coatld del~y or prohibit the Flood Map Project. Some exacnples of potential obstac~es to completing
the project in a timely fashion aze the follo~ving: inability to address mapping needs adequately with
available fund'ang; difficulty coordinating com~munity funding with FEMA funding; lack of an available
base ~ap meeting FEMA minimum specifications (described in Appendix K of the "Guidelines and
Specifi~cations for Flood Hazard Mapping P~~tners"); hydrologic and/or hydraulic issues; community
concerns; reliance on other studies or data (e.g., topographic mapping) that will not be available within
the project's scheduling constraints; needs not having as high a priority as originally identified; and other
considerations (FederaUState/non-government~il organizations, programmatic, disaster-related, legal).
T'Y~e Pr~ject Management Team shall explore potential issues om an ongoing basis. If potential obstacles
are identified t~at could halt or significantly hi:nder the completion of the project, the Project Management
Team shall evaluate all possible alternatives and develop an appropriate course of action as soon as
practicable. This checklist is a"living" doc~;~ment that should be updated as necessary throughout the
lifecycl.e of the project.
Standards: All work under Activity 2 shall be performed in accordance with the standards specified in
Section 5 of this MAS. A Potential Obstacle to Project Completion Checklist template is provided in
Appendix I, Subsection I.1.7 of the "Guideline~s and Specificatio~ns for Flood Hazard Mapping ~arMers".
Deliverables: A Potential Obstacle to Project Completion Checklist in digital form.
