SUBJECT: Contract Extensions—C154210, C154219, and C154223
The Colorado Water Conservation Board is working with San Luis Valley Irrigation District(SLVID)
to complete the Rio Grande Cooperative Project(Cooperative Project). The Cooperative Project
is a multi-purpose project that will provide a number of long-term water supply benefits to a wide
variety of interests in the basin. The Cooperative Project will develop a comprehensive,efficient water
management plan of existing decreed water rights in and out of the Rio Grande Reservoir and to other
interconnected storage vessels that will result in a partnership among all beneficiaries of the Project.
The proposed rehabilitation work associated with the Cooperative Project involves a complete
overhaul of the outlet works, seepage control through the reservoir embankment,the
reconstruction/enlargement of the spillway,federal land swap,and overall project management.
The$5 million grant to San Luis Valley Irrigation District to initiate and construct the Cooperative
Project was authorized and appropriated in the 2012 Projects Bill. An additional$15 million was also
authorized in the 2012 Projects Bill,which will be disbursed as a combination loan/grant at a later date.
The total cost of the Cooperative Project is estimated at$20 million. Specifics efforts that have been
completed or are that are still in progress with the$5 million grant are summarized as follows:
- $1,256,000 Reservoir Design(C154210)—In Progress
- $282,000 Clay Liner Material Development(C154213) -Completed
- $249,000 Federal Land Swap(C 154223)—In Progress
- $240,000 Project Management C154219)—In Progress
- $1,950,000 Seepage Control at Reservoir (C154238) -Completed
Contracts C154210, C154219,and C154223 are currently active and are scheduled to expire on
June 30,2014. It was the hope that the project activities under these three contracts would have
been completed within the two year completion time provided in the contracts. However, given the
complexity of the Cooperative Project,the many partners involved, and the exchange of lands with
the federal government, additional time is needed.
