<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Exhibit I - Scope of Services <br />Metropolitan Water Supply Investigation <br /> <br />November 17, 1993 <br />Page 23 <br /> <br />Anticipated Problems <br /> <br />Once the most promising water supply opportunities have been identified, it will be <br />necessary to determine the appropriate level of detail required for effective reconnaissance <br />level evaluation. The water supply systems associated with the targeted opportunities are <br />highly evolved, very complex and have been subjected to many previous studies. It will be <br />necessary to quickly and efficiently synthesize vast quantities of information to determine <br />which sources are most relevant and most likely to provide an appropriate level of detail. <br /> <br />As described above under the scoping task, scheduling problems related to coordination <br />with the other important ongoing water supply planning efforts will need to be resolved. <br /> <br />Deliverables <br /> <br />A draft and final Refined Study Plan will be prepared, <br /> <br />Cost <br /> <br />The initially estimated budget for this task is $6,000, <br /> <br />Inventory of Existing Information and Tools <br />Purpose <br /> <br />The purpose of this task is to inventory existing information, analytical tools and <br />ongoing studies of majof water providers in order to gain an understanding and develop an <br />information base of metro Denver area water supply systems sufficient to evaluate the Project's <br />identified water supply opportunities from a metro-wide context. This task would focus on <br />those information areas not covered in detail by the special studies in Tasks 5 through 8. <br /> <br />Methodology and Evaluation Techniques <br /> <br />A series of work meetings would be held with major water providers and OSE staff to <br />address a range of metro Denver area water supply planning topics necessafY to the conduct of <br />the Project. These subject areas would include water rights usage and ownership; water supply <br />service areas; hydrology; storage, diversion, treatment and delivery facilities; water supply and <br />flood control systems operations; instream flow and water quality issues. <br /> <br />Because Denver Water is in the midst of a major water supply planning and modeling <br />effort and given the major administrative role of the State Engineer, these meetings would <br />initially be held with key Denver Water planning staff and OSE staff, We anticipate that a <br />major portion of this task can be accomplished by taking advantage of the accumulated <br />expertise and information base of these two organizations, These work meetings would also <br />involve technical representatives of other water users based on the subject matter of the <br />meetings. <br /> <br />Additional task meetings would be held with other water management entities as needed <br />in order to develop a sufficiently complete and unbiased understanding of these areas. These <br />entities would include major individual metro area surface water and groundwater-based <br />providers and water rights holders, the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District, the Colorado <br />Water Quality Control Division, the South Platte Urban Drainage District, the U,S.
