most economic solution.To that end,we recommend preparing the bidding documents with two <br /> options: Option 1 - Demolish Existing Sluice Gate Structure and Option 2 - Construct Bypass Tunnel <br /> and Abandon Sluice Gate Structure.The District can then select which option is most economic <br /> based on the results of the bidding.Another important element of the low level outlet works is the <br /> provision for the future addition of hydropower.To allow hydropower to be added in the future <br /> with minimal disturbance to the primary function of the project,a tap will be provided at the low <br /> level outlet(downstream of the tunnel portal) which can be used to route flows to future turbine <br /> generator units. <br /> 3.) Spillway Improvements - In order to achieve the spillway capacity required by the State <br /> engineer's Office (SEO), the entrance training walls will require a substantial raise and the main <br /> channel training walls will require a roughly 2 to 6-foot raise.This is expected to be accomplished <br /> by a combination of cast-in-place concrete and perhaps shotcrete.Additionally,some of the existing <br /> spillway floor slabs will require replacement or rehabilitation due to the condition of the existing <br /> concrete. <br /> The CWCB's 2012 Projects Bill authorized and appropriated a $5 million grant to the SLVID to <br /> perform the design and other activities towards the rehabilitation of Rio Grande Reservoir,as part <br /> of the Rio Grande Cooperative Project. The 2012 Projects Bill also authorized an additional $15 <br /> million towards to the project,as a loan/grant combination,which will be determined by the CWCB <br /> board at a later date. CWCB is currently working with SLVID in spending the $5 million grant <br /> funds,which will involve a number of different activities,such as; final design, project management, <br /> material and equipment purchase,and various construction activities, over the next few years. <br /> The following Statement of Work will be conducted primarily by San Luis Valley Irrigation District's <br /> Sub-Contractor, DiNatale Water Consultants. <br /> SCOPE OF WORK <br /> Task 1-Assistance with Negotiating a Land Exchange with the Forest Service <br /> Description of Task:The purpose of this task is to assist with negotiating a land exchange with the Forest <br /> Service.
