All of the projects were then reviewed and studied in order <br />to develop a project prioritization list and to determine the order in which the projects and components <br />of each project should be implemented. Several factors were used to evaluate and prioritize the <br />projects and their components. Each factor was given a score from I to 10. A score of I means, that <br />based on the factor being evaluated, the project or component of the project is relatively less significant <br />than others. A score of 10 means, that based on the factor being evaluated, the project is vital or that <br />the component of the project is relatively important to the success of the overall project. Each factor <br />was weighted based on it's relative importance to other factors. The factors used to establish the <br />project prioritization list and their relative weights are listed below: <br /> <br />1. Can the project or component of the project stand alone? Or are there other plans which must be <br />completed in order for the project to function? (Relative Weight = 15) <br /> <br />2. Does the project provide immediate flood control benefits to the community? (Relative Weight = <br />15) <br /> <br />3, Are there non-economical reasons for the implementation of the project? (Relative Weight = 5) <br /> <br />4. Can the components of the project be phased for the implementation of the overall project without <br />adverse affects on the existing flooding conditions? (Relative Weight = 10) <br /> <br />5. Are there other project partners that need to implement components of the project in order to <br />accomplish the overall project? (Relative Weight = 5) <br /> <br />6. Are there certain components of the project that are more affordable at any particular time? <br />(Relative Weight = 5) <br /> <br />7. Does the project provide uses for the community other than flood control? (Relative Weight = 5) <br /> <br />8, Are there potential funding sources other than the City of Sterling and the Colorado Water <br />Conservation Board? (Relative Weight = 15) <br /> <br />9. What is the cost of the project relative to the cost of other projects? (Relative Weight = 10) <br /> <br />10. What are the benefits of the project relative to the benefits of other projects? (Relative Weight = <br />15), <br /> <br />The weighted scores for each of the proposed projects and their components are presented in Table I <br />along with the suggested order of implementation. A brief discussion of the scores for each of the <br />project follows Table 1. <br /> <br />10 <br />
