Some of the more substantial changes in the RFP from the initial quote include an increase in the <br />• <br />insurance limit from $1 M to $ l OM per occurrence, and the RFP also points to a more <br />comprehensive set of coverages so it covers anyone involved in working for the Program. <br />Kowalski reported he has not received a whole lot of comments yet, but that the sub-group does <br />want to move forward with the RFP to make sure we can do pulse flow next spring. <br />Purcell asked for clarification as to what $10 million per occurrence means. Kowalski said if the <br />GC is sued and other Program individuals are sued, the insurance would cover 10 people up to <br />$1 million per person; that's an increase over the original proposal. Dan Luecke asked if it was <br />typical to secure insurance for GC individuals as opposed to insurance to pay for damages <br />caused by a Program event like a pulse flow. Kowalski noted this is just the initial approach, and <br />the group then discussed examples of potential litigation and how insurance would work in those <br />cases. Purcell asked if the GC could agree to appoint the sub-group to polish the RFP, submit <br />comments to Kowalski, and then have the sub-group review proposals from the RFP and make <br />recommendations to the GC on how to proceed. Purcell asked for a report at the December GC <br />meeting regarding proposals. Don Ament asked how the Program ED and Headwaters <br />Corporation are covered. Kenny said Headwaters is separately insured as part of the ED <br />contract. The GC agreed to let the sub-group polish the RFP and get it on the street no <br />later than October 31 with responses by November 30 in time for a report at the December <br />GC meeting. Kowalski asked for all comments by October 15, so Purcell requested that <br />everyone review the RFP and submit comments to Kowalski accordingly. <br />Water ManaE!ement Studv <br />• Blaine Dwyer from Boyle Engineering gave a presentation on the status of Phase I of the Water <br />Management Study. He reported that he had good meetings and interviews with several <br />throughout the basin and was able to secure very helpful information in determining how to get <br />pulse flows. Dwyer said he needed to work with Kenny to develop a workshop for the GC and <br />other interested parties to provide a formal update on the status of Phase I. He said that during <br />the Cooperative Agreement, Boyle held updates with the Water Management Committee that <br />were helpful to keeping things on track. The Program workshop is not defined in terms of <br />specifics, but Dwyer thought it would be best to present something similar to their presentations <br />for Mark Butler and Don Anderson that focused on issues constraining the ability to release EA <br />water. Dwyer suggested it would require a half-day session. Purcell said this would be a very <br />important workshop because the topic is critical and it will be the first time we will all see the <br />bottlenecks. Barels asked if we want the WAC involved; Purcell responded yes, the workshop <br />would be for all interested parties but the WAC in particular. Purcell asked the GC to talk <br />about it overnight and decide tomorrow when we will have a workshop in December. <br />North Platte Channel Capacity Proiect <br />Rocky Keehn of SHE reported on the North Platte Choke Point Study. Kenny said there was no <br />action needed, but that Rocky would report to the GC about new ground we are covering. The <br />Program is moving away from hard engineering at the choke point to eradication of phragmites, <br />since it appears we can convey 3,000 cfs through the area with a pretty simple solution. Kenny <br />reported that through discussions with Lincoln County Weed Control Authority (LCWCA), if we <br />can make an arrangement with them and provide them with some money, they will arrange to <br /> <br />?
