The contractor has completed its <br />work sometime ago and has been fully paid. There remain a few loose ends which were not <br />within the purview of the contract between WRCC and ARS but are nevertheless irnportant <br />pieces of completing the base project. I am attaching Exhibit A which outlines our evaluation <br />and estimate of these additional costs. <br />Once the project was completed we had the opportunity to run water through the facility <br />for approximately one week. This was a nice opportunity because we were able to loak at how <br />the project performed before waiting through winter and until next year's spring flow water <br />availability. We ran approximately 250 CFS into the ditch which is probably a fairly normal flow <br />through the Poudre Valley Canal because there are some restrictions in that canal at a couple of <br />bridges before it reaches the Cobb Lake facility. Running the ditch enabled us to take a real good <br />look as to how we thought it would perform long term and did reveal several maintenance items. <br />Some additional ditch work was apparently needed as a result of some wash outs. This was not <br />totally unexpected. When we originally designed this ditch John Andrew and I considered <br />carrying the rip rap in the canal much further to the West. However rather than incur the <br />substantial expense at that time we felt it sensible to see how the ditch runs then take whatever <br />maintenance and remedial steps were justified without possible over kill. <br />
