Refine the needs analysis (both interstate and intrastate) initiated by the CRCDSS advisory committee, develop functional specifications, prepare a Request for Proposal (RFP), and estimate the costs for the design and development of a DSS. Consulting services $ 90,000 m.

From a strategic planning perspective, the funding request included in the annual CWCB Construction Fund bill was a way to provide an opportunity to continue development this year. Timing is important since actions by downstream states may require immediate action. We invite a representative of the !MC to participate in the CRCDSS technical group meetings and/or serve on the CRCDSS advisory committee to provide assistance and input into the development of this important capability.
