Task 5. Meetings Under this task, the Consultant should budget for the following six meetings: • Two meetings with members of the EIS Team and the FWS/ESA Team, and their consultants, one at the start of the investigation to gather information and ask questions regarding their analyses and products, and a second meeting to be held as necessary to ask questions after the consultant's analysis pursuant to Task 2. • A meeting with the state representatives to (1) accomplish the purposes identified in Task 2, and (2) to gather any additional information related to existing information sources, viewpoints on Platte river geomorphology, and current concerns relative to the EIS/ESA analyses and products. • A one -day meeting with the state representatives at the approximate mid -point of the study to brief the states on the progress of the study and to resolve issues that have arisen to that point. • One meeting with State representatives and other CA participants to present the draft report at the conclusion of this study. • One meeting to present the final report and conclusions to the Governance Committee.
