Task 11 - Railroad and Other Facility R~locations

a. Studying the relocation of the railroad shall be given a
high priority in this study due to the large percentage
of the total cost of the project which it represents.
In analyzing the railroad relocation, the Contractor
shall :

(1) Meet with representatives of the Denver and Rio
Grande-Western Railroad, obtain operational
constraints which would be placed on any
relocation, and develop basic design criteria for
relocation.

(2) Perform site inspection/evaluation as noted in
Tasks 4 and 5.

(3) Review in close detail plans of ongoing constructon
of 1-70 and determine the basis of potential
multiple use of highway corridor for railroad
relocation.

(4) Identify all potential conflicts and interfaces
with existing transportation facilities and other
improvements.

(5) Evaluate the relative cost of a large cut or tunnel
for relocation near DeBeque.

(6) Establish a preliminary corridor location.

(7) Perform an alignment Inspection and readjust where
approprIate.

(8) Prepare a cost estImate based on experIence cost
data, and consultation with the Denver and Rio
Grande-Western Railroad and others.

b. Relocation of an existing transmission line, and a
wastewater treatment plant and other facilitIes, if any,
will be studied. Respective owners of these facilitIes
will be consulted on the preferred manner and location
of any revisions required. Cost estimates of these
relocations will be from experience data with similar
installations and will be compared to the potential loss
of water yield and output with a lower reservoIr.
