<br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Revised Draft <br /> <br />7/17/2001 <br /> <br />. Four user group meetings per year to provide a mechanism for communication of <br />technical topics <br /> <br />. Outreach program where project team members visit schools, make presentations at <br />water forums and meetings, etc" to provide education about SPDSS and CDSS to <br />increase usage <br /> <br />COSTS AND SCHEDULE <br /> <br />Estimated costs for each of the three SPDSS alternatives range from $ I 1.9 to $34. I million <br />dollars as follows: <br /> <br />. Alternative I: $ I 1.9 million <br />. Alternative 2: $19,8 million <br />. Alternative 3: $34.1 million <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Estimated costs to develop and implement the most cost effective and efficient alternative is the <br />recommended SPDSS alternative (Alternative 2) at approximately $19.8 million. This includes <br />$9,26 million (47 percent) for data collection, $7.52 million (38 percent) for development of <br />components and $3.01 million (IS percent) for project management, consultant coordination, and <br />some aspects of user involvement. The SPDSS will be funded in the same manner as the <br />CROSS and RGDSS projects, from the CWCB's Construction Fund on a non-reimbursable <br />basis. This is a self-generating funding source that will not result in a tax increase. <br /> <br />The recommended SPDSS alternative is anticipated to be developed over a six-year period in <br />three phases as follows: <br /> <br />· Phase I is expected to require approximately two years and will focus on data collection <br />and water administration tools. Certain data collection activities, such as groundwater <br />levels and streamflow, will continue through and beyond SPDSS implementation. <br /> <br />. Phase 2 is expected to require approximately two years and will focus on water budget <br />modeling, consumptive use modeling and enhancements to the groundwater model for <br />the Denver Basin and Overlying Alluvium Region. This phase will begin after <br />completion of Phase 1. <br /> <br />· Phase 3, the final phase, is expected to require approximately two years and will include <br />surface water modeling and development of a groundwater model for the Lower South <br />Platte Alluvium Region, <br /> <br />As described above, Phase 1 allows basic water resources data to be develope\!, reviewed and <br />disseminated to the public before any significant modeling occurs, In addition, it allows cost <br />effective water administration activities to be implemented as quickly as possible, Phases 2 and <br />3 include the addition of various modeling tools that will utilize new and existing data in order to <br />. perform the complex water resource analyses identified in the Needs Assessment in Chapter 2. <br /> <br /> <br />p;\data.\gen\spdss\drafts for core group submittal\exec_summarr_draft.doc <br />July 17,2001 <br /> <br />E-8 <br />
