An all-weather access road will be <br /> installed on the north side of the Brush Lateral running from Hospital Road to the inlet <br /> structure. <br /> Headgate Bridge. The headgate of the canal includes a bridge that enables crossing of the <br /> canal. This bridge is approximately 36 feet long and enables material to be hauled from one <br /> side of the canal to the other during routine maintenance exercises. The bridge is presently too <br /> narrow for the maneuvering of trucks for hauling, hindering ditch maintenance. Enlargement of <br /> the Headgate Bridge is planned to expand the width by twelve feet for truck passage to meet <br /> current and projected operation and maintenance demands. <br /> Schedule: Final design and construction of the augmentation pond is targeted for completion by fall of <br /> 2014, but special use permit negotiations with the City of Fort Morgan have the potential to delay <br /> completion for another few months. Design and construction of the bridge widening is targeted for the <br /> fall of 2014 or spring of 2015, when irrigation schedules permit. <br /> TABLE 1: ESTIMATED PROJECT COST <br /> Hospital Road Recharge Pond <br /> Site Purchase and Excavation $ 100,000.00 <br /> Pond Inlet Structure $ 25,000.00 <br /> Access Road $ 10,000.00 <br /> Improvements per Special Use Permit $ 15,000.00 <br /> Engineering $ 5,000.00 <br /> Subtotal $ 155,000.00 <br /> Headgate Bridge Expansion <br /> Bridge Design and Engineering $ 10,000.00 <br /> Construction $ 25,000.00 <br /> Subtotal $ 35,000.00 <br /> Contingencies (10%) $ 20,000.00 <br /> Total $210,000.00 <br />
