Receive assignments of studies to be
reviewed each 2-month period, including
the results of meetings between CWCB
and local officials (Item 3 in the review
and designation process);

Determine priorities in each assignment
(with CWCB concurrence);

Distribute the work to the MWE project
team;

Ensure that CWCB requirements are met
in each assignment; and

Deliver the product for each assignment to
CWCB in timely fashion.

The PE(s) will carry out each assignment through
the following tasks:

Write letters to communities, place calls to
local officials, and compile the histories of
floodplain information;

Perform the analytical evaluation of the
subject study, documenting and correcting
any errors and calculating 100-year
discharges when necessary;

Prepare the Floodplain Information
Reports and accompanying memos
summarizing the reviews.

The SRs will assist as requested by the PM or
PE, Their involvement is expected primarily in
guidance for the technical reviews and
corrections of errors found in the studies.
Assuming a 12-month project schedule, the PM
will meet with CWCB in months 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and
11 to receive assignments with associated
information and to set priorities within each
assignment. Additional meetings will be
scheduled for Months 2 and 12, and at other
times if necessary. The Month 2 meeting will be
a progress check for the first assignment; the PM
will provide draft materials from the first 2 study
reviews to CWCB to assure satisfaction with the
interim product. The Month 12 meeting will serve
as a close-out for the project.

After regular meetings with CWCB, the PM will
, evaluate the staffing needs for the new
~.~ assignment, distribute the work assignment and

schedule to the PE(s), and put SRs and support
staff on notice for any special needs. The PE(s)
will write the community notifications, place calls
to local officials, and compile the floodplain
histories of all communities involved in the new
assignment (Items 1, 2, and 4) within the first 2
weeks of the 2-month period, Beginning in the
second week of the period, the PE will begin the
technical reviews of the studies at the
approximate rate of one review every 7 to 10
days.

For each study, the steps in the review process
will be document,sd, especially when errors are
discovered and corrected, and when 1 DO-year
discharges must be calculated (Items 5, 6, and
7), At the end of each review, the PE will prepare
the draft Floodplain Information Report and the
draft memo to eWCB summarizing results of the
review (Items 8 and 9). For each study review,
the entire package will be assembled for the PM
to review prior to delivery to CWCB. The
schedule for delivery will be established in the
regular meetings between the PM and CWCB, so
that CWCB will have sufficient time to complete
its resolution and associated materials for Board
consideration,

The PM will facilillate monthly meetings, project
coordination, and product review, anticipating a
time commitment of up to 5%.

The PE will commit up to 50% time, as needed,
with additional staff engineers receiving
assignment if the workload demands it.

The SRs will be available on an occasional basis
as needed to consider and help resolve specific
problems and issues; their time commitment is
anticipated to be no greater than 2%,
