scope, budget, schedules, and roles and responsibilities ofthe participating agencies.
Providing a quality study that identifies the Sponsors needs and expectations, and that is
completed on schedule and within budget is the primary goal of an participants, Critical
components of the final PMP are:
a) Identifying the objectives of the feasibility study,
b) Developing sufficient level of plan detail.
c) Identifying costs of required studies,
d) Identifying schedule of activities to be performed during the feasibility study.

The product of the feasibility study, a feasibility report, will be used by the non-Federal
Sponsor, other local agencies, and the Corps and ultimately the U ,S, Congress to initiate
any additional studies or necessary remedial measures, including construction actions.
The report will provide a complete presentation of the study and results, and will
document compliance with an applicable Federal, State and local statutes, executive
orders and policies, The necessary envirorunental analysis, as applicable to any
recommendations or plans, will also be included, Further, it win provide a sound basis
for decision makers to judge the recommended plan,

1.6.2 RECONNAISSANCE PHASE
This document presents the Project Management Plan (PMP) for the Greeley, Colorado
General Investigation Study, The initial effort in this project has been to conduct the
reconnaissance phase of investigation, The purpose of the reconnaissance study is to
determine if the water resource and ecosystem problems on the Cache la Poudre in
Greeley, Colorado, warrant Federal participation in a feasibility study and the negotiation
of a Feasibility Cost Sharing Agreement (FCSA) between the Federal Government and
the City of Greeley, Colorado, Tasks related to that goal include; completion of a 90S(b)
Analysis Report, documentation of the results of the analyses conducted during the
reconnaissance phase, preparation of a Project Management Plan (PMP), assessment of
the level of interest and support from non-Federal organizations in Greeley, development
of scopes and cost estimates, The PMP is a living document and wi\1 be updated as the
project progresses and it establishes the framework necessary for the execution of the
feasibility study,

1.6.3 FEASIBILITY PHASE
The feasibility phase begins once the FCSA is signed, thus most of this Project
Management Plan has been developed to define the project once that phase of work
begins, It is anticipated that the Feasibility Study will be conducted in two parts. The
first phase will concentrate on problem identification, forecasting future without project
conditions and formulating plans, This is defined as "Decision Point I" in the remainder
of the PMP and the PMP Appendix, The focus during this phase wi\1 be on identifying
cost effective flood control solutions and outlining key ecosystem goals for the Cache la
Poudre River through Greeley. The remainder of the study wi\1 involve evaluating those
plans, comparing those plans and selecting a final plan that win be carried forward to the
development of plans and specifications for construction,
