An estimate of time required to construct the entire project will be made,

considering weather, permit restrictions, and other construction. The estimate

will be based on similar projects completed in the area. Minimum and maximum

times will be estimated. Alternatives to constructing the entire project will

also be considered. Phasing of the project to coincide with the State Highway

Department's construction schedule will be examined. Elements of the proj ect

will be analyzed to determine the benefit of early or phased construction.

Consideration will be given to methods of maintaining delivery of water during

construction. The end product will be a number of diagrams detailing the

scheduling of construction for the alternatives considered.

C. Cost Estimate:

The objective is to provide a cost estimate for the selected alternative to

the raw water pipeline for the District's planning purposes.

A construction cost estimate will be made for the preferred alternative.

The estimate will be based on results from bids on similar proj ects. An

allowance of at least 20 percent will be made for contingencies. An estimate of

the right-of-way acquisition needs and cost will be made based on the selected

pipeline route or pump station location. The annual cost to operate and

maintain the facility will be estimated. These costs will include operator

wages, equipment repair, power, and other routine costs. The end product will

be a descriptive report and tabulation of costs for the preferred alternative.

D. Financial Evaluation
The objective is to provide a financial program to fund the construction of
the selected alternative.

A financial program will be developed to determine annual expenditures

including loans, interest cost during construction, and fees to obtain bonds.

The alternative construction schedules will be considered for their impact on

cost due to inflation. The financial program will be reviewed with the District

and CWCB. The end product will be a payback schedule for loans and a proposed

method of financing the entire construction project.
