. . Exhibit I - Scope of Services Metropolitan Water Supply Investigation November 17, 1993 Page 19 Technical memoranda developed as deliverables for specific tasks will be written in a manner that facilitates their being used as part of the Project report and minimizes duplicative report writing efforts, Unless otherwise directed by the State, the Contractors will deliver all work products to the State's Project Management Team for internal review prior to distribution to the TAC. Work Plan The work plan for this project is presented below. This work plan anticipates four Proiect focus areas, each consisting of related tasks: Scoping, Information Development, Modeling, and Opportunities Evaluation, It is anticipated that this work plan will be revised during the conduct of this Project based on the results of the Scoping and Information Development phases of the Project. Each task memorandum will be prepared in draft form for review by the State Team prior to distribution to the Technical Advisory Committee and finalization, Assemble Technical Advisory Committee Purpose The T AC would bring together people with technical knowledge of the relevant existing water supply systems to facilitate the cooperative and collaborative aspects of the Project, It would provide access to sources of expertise, and ideas and opinions from its members would be used to help guide the Project's direction and progress. In addition, the members of the TAC will provide the primary communication mechanism between the MWSI Project and the Front Range Water Forum, Methodology and Evaluation Techniques The State and the Front Range Water Forum would be responsible for TAC selection, with input from the Project team as requested. T AC should include key parties and interests that must be involved in the study process by virtue of their areas of expertise and their importance to system integration possibilities, Likely T AC member organizations include: Denver Water, Aurora, Arvada, Thornton, Westminster, Arapahoe County Utility Advisory Board, the Douglas County Water Resource Authority, the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, the Colorado River Water Conservation District, the Barr Lake Companies, the environmental and agricultural communities, and the Metro Denver Wastewater Reclamation District. Throughout the course of the MWSl Project it will be necessary for the project manager or designated members of the study team to consult directly with a representative of the TAC regarding technical and procedural issues and questions, We would therefore suggest that the T AC designate a chairperson to serve as a contact person for the consulting team. We recommend that, as one of its first tasks, the TAC develop groundrules establishing channels for communication between interested parties and the consulting team, rules for conducting meetings and mechanisms for dispute resolution, Groundrules should also establish guidelines for dissemination of information to the public and the news media regarding the status and progress of the study.
