<br />a low bid of $2,869,414 for the completion of <br />Morrow Point Powerplant and constructing <br />Morrow Point Switchyard and Visitor Facili- <br />ties. The construction award was made January <br />13, 1969, and the contractor commenced its <br />work at Morrow Point Powerplant on February I <br />12th. Our construction schedule calls for <br />completion of all work to permit generation . <br />of Morrow Point Powerplant, No. 1 Unit, in <br />June 1970 and the No.. 2 Unit in September <br />1970. <br /> <br />Nearly three-fourths of the work on the <br />paonia project has been accomplished now under <br />a $272,261 contract awarded November 26, 1968, <br />for rehabilitating three reaches of Colorado <br />Highway No. 133 at paonia Dam and Reservoir. <br />It appears likely that this work will be <br />completed so the Department of Colorado High- <br />ways can put the blacktop surfacing on it <br />this summer. <br /> <br />.' . <br /> <br />At the Bostwick Park Project, the con- <br />tractor for Silver Jack Dam returned to the <br />worksite this spring only to find that the <br />slide area above the spillway transition and <br />stilling basin had been reactivated. It <br />slid down and did quite a bit of damage to <br />the stilling basin, part of the spillway, and <br />possibly the outlet works. We don't know yet <br />the extent of the damage that has been done <br />to the spillway and what will have to be <br />rebuilt on ~hat. In this regard though, the <br />completion of Silver Jack Dam will probably <br />be delayed because of this slide activity: <br />However, the abutment of the dam still <br />appears to be stable. This slide occurred <br />downstream from the dam so it doesn't endanger <br />the dam structure itself. <br /> <br />Work has progressed on the Bonneville <br />Unit of the Central Utah Project, which is <br />out of your state area. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Now for a report on the Colorado Storage <br />
