<br />~J""" <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />multiple-arch concrete dam similar to the one <br />that is being built at M.orrow point. This <br />also leads us to predict that the cost of the <br />project will be no greater than was reported <br />in the reconnaissance report. ~~ are working <br />with the Corps on the coordination of flood <br />control at that site and have received just <br />recently some favorable flood benefit figures <br />on the unit. So it is moving well. <br /> <br />On our construction program in Colorado, <br />the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project is moving for- <br />ward on several fronts. Construction of Ruedi <br />Dam has been some\'lhat behind schedule but <br />diversion of the river was accomplished on <br />December 20th and the contractor is doing some <br />scaling work, excavating the foundation and <br />is completing his cofferdam. So! thiru( things <br />are looking up at Ruedi. <br /> <br />We are also rather pleased with the <br />progress that is being made on the construc- <br />tion of the Divide Tunnel and the South Fork <br />and Chapman Tunnels. The contractors are <br />\'Iorking thrbughout the \./inter. They are \'lell <br />equipped to handle avalanche problems and are <br />running three shifts a day. The latest report <br />that I have on the construction of the tunnels <br />is that the Divide Tunnel is 1943 feet into <br />the mountain, the South Fork Tunnel 1243 feet, <br />and Chapman Tunnel 2556 feet. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />We awarded a contract on the sugar Loaf <br />Dam to the low bidder, Colorado Constructors, <br />Inc., and A. S. Horner Construction company. <br />The low bid was $5,282,852.50. Work has pro- <br />ceeded on clearing the damsite, the borrow <br />areas, and we anticipate that construction <br />will be well under way this spring. Also <br />SOtt~ progress is being made on road reloca- <br />tions and service facilities to the project. <br /> <br />We are anticipating money in the '67 <br />budget in the amount of about $30,000 to <br />initiate a basin survey in the Arkansas Valley, <br />
