Mr. Daniel Law January 15, 2003 3 • • Task 10: Generate and Distribute Initial Reports —WQCD lead with EnecoTech support; no Analytic Solutions.com activities. • Task 11: Receive and Incorporate Comments / Information from the Public Water Supplies — WQCD lead; no EnecoTech or Analytic Solutions.com activities. • Task 12: Generate and Distribute Final Reports — WQCD lead; no EnecoTech or Analytic Solutions.com activities. • Task 13: Conduct Training and Deliver Software and Documentation — similar to the original scope of work. • Task 14: Interaction Allocation (EnecoTech only) — identifies availability for coordination of database population and protocol algorithm design at the request of the WQCD. • Task 15: Authority Presentations (EnecoTech only) — identifies availability for project presentations. This modified scope of work is now reflected in the respective scopes of work, budgets, and schedules for EnecoTech and Analytical Solution, and will provide the balance between data development and toolset analytical functionality to best complete the Susceptibility Analysis Project component of the overall program. Project Budget The second amendment to the EnecoTech MOUs and the new Analytic Solutions.com MOUs does not involve a change in the previous total project budget. Rather, there is a reallocation of funds from the data development tasks to the toolset analytical functionality tasks. The original project budget has been revised to include a $100,000 contingency fund. The contingency funds are now represented in both EnecoTech's and Analytic Solutions.com's respective budget allocations as specific line items. Project Schedule An important component of the proposed revisions to the project schedule is the deadline associated with the expenditure of the federal Source Water Assessment Program set -aside funds. The WQCD has confirmed with Region VIII EPA staff that in order to avoid the loss of these funds, the WQCD must either fully expend them by August 17, 2003, or roll them into one of two other Drinking Water State Revolving Fund set - asides. Based on this information, the WQCD has determined that it would be appropriate to spend the majority, if not all, of the SWAP set -aside funds to help complete the Toolset development and generate the final assessment reports for the over 200 surface water systems by the August 17 deadline. The remaining ground water systems would then be funded from the WHP set - aside. This action will ensure that the Source Water set -aside is used to the maximum extent possible, and that the surface water systems assessments and final reports are completed in a timely manner, while minimizing the need for a rollover into another drinking water set -aside account. The WQCD previously proposed extending the completion date of the project for both EnecoTech MOUs beyond the original project completion deadline of June 30, 2003 to April 30, 2004 in the August 2002 MOU amendment. Under the second amendment to the EnecoTech MOUs and the new Analytic •Solutions.com MOUs , the WQCD is proposing revising the completion date for the SWAP MOU from April 30, 2004 to August 17, 2003, and the WHP MOU from April 30, 2004 to January 30, 2004.
