<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />B. Operations, Maintenance, and Replacement Costs <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />The Operations and Maintenance Costs for the dam and reservoirs were <br /> <br /> <br />considered to be the total of the following costs (see also Table-7, page 47). <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />a. Concrete repair of facilities, $2,000/year. <br /> <br />b. Replace riprap lost by displacement, or vandalism, 50 tons/year at <br />$20.00/ton, plus labor and equipment $2,OOO/year. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />c. Slope maintenance, trimming, reshaping, crest repair, including <br />equipment rental $2,OOO/year. <br /> <br />d. Monitor and record performance of dam $2,000/year. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />e. Dam tender inspections and operation of the outlet gates $3,OOO/year. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />f. Service of gates and other mechanical equipment $1,OOO/year. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />The total annual maintenance is estimated at $12,000/year, and is considered <br /> <br /> <br />applicable to either the Rehabilitation or Enlargement alternative. The <br /> <br /> <br />Operations and Maintenance Cost will be inflated by 8% per year for the <br /> <br /> <br />Financial Evaluation (see Chapter-VII). <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />The anticipated replacement items for the project life of 40 years consist <br /> <br /> <br />of riprap replacement, outlet gate replacement, and some major structural re- <br /> <br /> <br />pairs to the spillway. For the purpose of this analysis, the total Replacement <br /> <br /> <br />Costs are considered to be about $100,000 at 20 years, and $200,000 at 40 years. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />In addition to the Replacement Costs, an Emergency Operating Fund was <br /> <br /> <br />also included in the project costs. This fund is set aside to finance ex- <br /> <br /> <br />traordinary costs beyond the scope of normal operation, maintenance, and <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />-27- <br />
