<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />In selecting the repair alternative, several addnional considerations must be evaluated, First, <br />the overall cost of the repairs; second, what Is being achieved for the funds expended; and third, <br />the level of confidence In the quality and durability of the repairs, Based upon the cost estimates, <br />the $387,000 cost for a complete replacement of the facilnies (Alternative F) is approximately 50 <br />percent ($133,000) more expensive than the minimum repair Alternative A ($254,000), The other <br />repair alternatives (B and C) are even closer In cost to the complete replacement. Wnh repair of <br />the existing outlet facilnies, the known problems are controlled. but the basic structural integrity has <br />not been appreciably improved, i,e" the Underlying structural concrete is still soft and weak and <br />seepage paths in the embankment will stili exist. Furthermore, the useful life expectancy of the <br />outlet condun repairs are expected to be considerably less than for complete replacement, and the <br />comfort level wnh the qualny and durability of the final product is much greater for a straight forward <br />total replacement of facilnies versus for the repair, Replacement of the outlet also provides for the <br />reservoir to remain in compliance wnh regulations promulgated by the State Engineer which require <br />the reservoir outlet capacny to be capable of releasing the top five feet of reservoir storage in five <br />days, a flow rate which would not be attainable with the outlet repair alternatives, (The State <br />Engineer has waived this requirement for the repairs made to Julesburg Reservoir outlet.) Based <br />on these considerations, it is recommended that the full replacement alternative (F) should be <br />pursued by the District rather than a repair of the existing facilities, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />With Altern~t~ve F, the projected cost to the District would be $386,700, excluding loan <br />interest payments, This equates to $20,20 per acre for the 19,134 acres within the District Service <br />Area, Of this amount, the District would be required to directly pay $61 ,700, and would finance the <br />remainder with the $325,000 CWCB construction loan, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />. <br />
