<br />Platte River which would take approximately four and one half years to <br />complete. The time will be extended by allowing at least one machine to <br />do follow up maintenance work. By the "time the Platte River portion of <br />the project is completed at least one of the 09's and possibly both drag <br />lines would be on a yearly maintenance circuit and three of the 09"s would <br />start on the Cache La Poudre River and the other tributaries as time allowed. <br />The costs per mile to the County would then reduce to $6,121.00 per mile <br />for the approximately fifty-four miles of tributaries, or an estimated <br />total cost for the tributaries of $330,534,00. An additional one and one- <br />half years should be allowed for this portion of the project. <br /> <br />By the time this project has been completed and the maintenance pro- <br />gram is in full operation, two of the 09's and one of the drag lines will <br />have been overhauled. These costs have been included in the County figures. <br />If such work were let out on contract, costs would exceed $21,000. per <br />mile on the Platte River and $11,600. per mile on the tributaries. In view <br />of the urgency of the current situation and the estimated total of six <br />years to complete, contracts with several construction companies may be <br />the answer. If this method were to be undertaken, the necessary cost would <br />be $1,680,000. on the Platte River and $626,400. for its tributaries, for <br />a total of $2,306,400. <br /> <br />A divided program where part went on contract and the other done by <br />County forces would not be out of the question when the time element is <br />introduced. For example, the County could undertake the tributaries and <br />contract the South Platte River to others. Estimated costs for the Platte <br />River would be $1,680,000 (contract), for the tributaries $330,534. (County), <br />with a total of $2,010,534. This would assume money for necessary equip- <br />ment, or the equipment itself, will have been provided by the federal govern- <br />ment. The time would then reduce to about two years as opposed to six. <br />The equipment porvided would then be available for maintenance at an earl- <br />ier date. <br /> <br />Comparisons: <br /> <br />1. County only - Completion time = 6 years. <br /> <br />Equipment cost (federal) = <br />County participation (Platte) = <br />County participation (tributaries) = <br />Maintenance costs (10 yrs.) = <br /> <br />Total <br /> <br />= <br /> <br />$ 609,800. <br />1,242.400. <br />330,534. <br />442.800. <br />$2,265.534. <br /> <br />2.
