<br />': <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />,. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />of existing geologic conditions at the proposed portal areas for the tunnel as well as rock <br />outcrops exposed in the vicinity of the tunnel at approximately the elevation of the proposed <br />tunnel; <br /> <br />. Evaluate and optimize the possible tunnel alternatives. This evaluation would include an <br />attempt to optimize the size of the excavated tunnel, the type and diameter of the pipe <br />lining and the type and placement method for backfill between the pipe lining and the <br />excavated tunnel. BLI proposed to contact pipe lining vendors as well as tunnel excavation <br />contractors in order to assist in accomplishing this task; <br /> <br />. Prepare a cost estimate for the proposed optimum tunnel configuration as developed as a <br />result of the preceding work task; <br /> <br />. Provide a draft report of BLI's conceptual design including drawings and details of the <br />tunnel, pipe lining and backfill, and the cost estimate; <br /> <br />. Meet in Denver with representatives of the Colorado Water conservation Board and the <br />Ute Water Conservancy District to present our design and cost estimate and to discuss <br />possible concerns or modifications based on these discussions; and <br /> <br />. Finalize our studies and prepare the final report, <br /> <br />3.0 COST ESTIMATE <br /> <br />SRK and BLI have prepared separate cost estimates to perform the work described in Section 2.0 <br />of this document. These costs are shown by work task in Tables 1 and 2, The costs for each task are <br />categorized according to professional fees and reimbursable expenses, The total cost to perform all <br />of the tasks within the two work categories is estimated to be $26,450, <br /> <br />4.0 Schedule <br /> <br />We have prepared Figures 1 and 2 presenting the proposed schedule for conducting the technical <br />services identified in the projected Scope of Work. After receiving the notice to proceed, a total <br />project schedule time of 2 months will be necessary to complete our feasibility study, During the <br />course of this study, SRK and BLI will provide Ute with preliminary information and draft reports. <br />At the conclusion of the project, we will meet with Ute to review our findings in detail. <br /> <br />5 <br />
