Program Vision

. May through June - Approve finalized contract, initiate map updates for DFIRMs
funded in the current FY, and attempt to maintain a maximum one-year schedule to
produce preliminary DFIRM products.

. July through following June - Complete preliminary DFIRM products.

. Ongoing - Update prioritization list to reflect map update needs that are addressed when
new DFIRMs become effective. Post effective FIRM and FIS information on the Internet
as it becomes effective.

The schedule above has been altered considerably for FY '04 to meet FEMA's expectations

was occupied with three major activities:

o Implementation of the FY '03 mapping projects; and

o Completion of the Business Case Plan.

The proposed FY '04 schedule is shown below:

. March 2004 - Perform Initial Coordination Meetings

. March through mid-April 2004- Compute and submit cost estimates

. April 2004 - Reevaluate statewide needs

. Not Needed Because BCP Report Just Completed - Updating scoping tools, etc.

. April 2004 - Receive funding notification from FEMA

. Mid-April through May 2004 - Conduct Scoping Meetings and finalize Scopes of
Work

. May through June 2004 - Approve finalized contracts; initiate map updates

. July 2004 through June 2005 - Complete preliminary DFIRM products

Through the implementation of the above schedule and the procedures outlined in this Plan, the
CWCB intends to partner with FEMA to meet Colorado's floodplain mapping goals and to help
FEMA achieve the following Map Modernization goals:

o Achieve effective program management

o Build and maintain mutually beneficial partnerships

o Expand and better inform the user community

o Establish and maintain a premier data collection and delivery system
