<br />SCOPE OF WORK <br />---CWCB AND PPACG--- <br /> <br />Creation of a GIS database is essential in conducting watershed analysis. lnfonnarion that <br />is collected during development of the Fountain Creek Watershed plan will be used in <br />this database and utilized along with existing information to query data, analyze data. and <br />produce maps. <br /> <br />A Project Managemem Team composed of a representative from (he City of Colorado <br />Springs, Colorado Springs Utilities. EI Paso County. Woodland Park. City of Pueblo, <br />County of Pueblo, and the Colorado Soil Conservation District (ex-officio member) will <br />be responsible to advise the PPACG contractor in the GIS database development. They <br />will meet on a monthly basis and help decide the relevant and pel1inent information to be <br />contained in the database and assist PPACG to guide the contractor. <br /> <br />The GIS database will be utilized for both educational and decision making capabilities <br />and will build on existing GIS resources within the watershed (City of Colorado Springs. <br />Colorado Springs Utilities, EI Paso County. City of Pueblo, County of Pueblo, military <br />installations, and USGS). A matrix has been developed that provides the contact persons <br />from each of these agencies, and a description of the existing data coverages and the <br />coordinate system that is being used. The contact persons will be available for the <br />consultant to contact for funher information. This database will be flexible to evolve and <br />adjust to changes that occur in the watershed so the database can be updated on an as <br />needed basis. It will be used in the future to project specific flood and erosion scenarios <br />and to test cenain mitigation strategies. <br /> <br />This database will be used as a guide to visually identify temporal and spatial changes <br />and their corresponding effects on erosion and infrastructure due to flooding and other <br />natural and anthropogenic events that have occurred in the watershed. The database will <br />also include information on monitoring locutions and other data characteristic of <br />watershed health. Based on this information data gaps will be identified where more <br />information needs to be collected. <br /> <br />The GIS maps and database will be stored at PPACG and made available for people to <br />view on the Fountain Creek Watershed web page. Graphical information will be <br />formaned to minimize the amount of user loading time and tabular information will be <br />separated based on hydrologic. physical, erosion/sedimentation, and water quality <br />characteristics. An electronic form will be made available for people to make <br />suggestions and to identify any information that is available, but not yet included in the <br /> <br />Appendix A to Contract C150051 <br />
