The alternatives will be reviewed in conjunction with the District and CWCB

to determine the preferred approach. Evaluation criteria will include the total

and unit cost for the delivery of water to the District's treatment plant, the

utilization of existing District facilities and water rights, the safe yield of

the source of supply, the quality and quantity of water, and the impact on the

area and present system. The end product will be a summary report listing the

advantages and disadvantages of each alternative with a reason and

recommendation for a course of action to deliver water to the District's

treatment plant.

Preliminary Design

A. Feasibility-Level Design:

The obj ective is to provide sufficient design information upon which to

base construction cost estimates for the chosen alternative.

The pipeline profile will be plotted utilizing the topographic map. The

hydraulic grade line will be calculated to determine pipe pressure and velocity

classes. Pipe sizes will be determined for the present treatment plant capacity

of 22 MGD and the future capacity of 42 MGD, or those determined in the safe

yield study. Locations for air release and drain valves will be determined.

Provisions will be made to tie in existing facilities and other special

structures, such as pressure-reducing stations. The impact on the flood plain

and existing structures from proposed stream crossings or bank modifications

will be evaluated with computer flood routing programs. Adjustments will be

made in the pipeline route as needed to meet these design criteria. Pump sizes

and supporting structures will be determined to meet the requirements of the

District. The end product will be a quantification of the pipeline length, pipe

size, valves, and other special structures required to complete a pipeline or

the pump size required to meet the Districts demand.

B. Construction Schedule:
The objective is to produce a construction schedule for the alternative to
the raw water pipeline.
