respect to their water supply yield benefits to the Denver Metro area, their project costs, their
impacts on agricultural water users and groundwater levels, and their effects in other areas such as
water quality, wildlife habitat and flood control. With regard to these specific investigations, the
MWSI Project should focus on technical aspects, and not get bogged down in institutional issues;
however, it should identify and articulate what those institutional issues are.

These specifIC investigations should focus on the gathering of data, such as identifying service
areas, water rights, water availability, system configurations, and current uses, and developing the
modeling capability needed for a credible analysis of system integration alternatives. These
investigations should be designed so that their results could be incorporated with both the MWSI
model and the Denver Water Study modeling effort.

ScoDe of Work - The Contractor, the DNR Management Team and the TSC will begin and conduct
a scoping effort via a series of work sessions, focusing on reviewing ongoing studies, existing data,
modeling tools, other relevant information associated with the Barr Lake Plan, conjunctive use of
non-tributary groundwater, the Southern Water Supply Project and the existing Denver metro area
water supply systems that would be associated with these proposals. The MWSI Project is aimed
at:

1. Identifvinl! the MWSI obiectives including proposed systems integration options;

2. Reviewinl! the availability of existinl! data and the status of other ongoing studies; and

3.

DeveloDinl! a refined MWSI Plan which would more specifically define the MWSI
tasks necessary for achieving MWSI objectives. These tasks would be designed to
maximize the use of existing information, expertise and analysis tools so that time
and money are not wasted through duplication of efforts.

The availability of existing data and modeling tools will provide the basis for determining
subsequent specific MWSI tasks and the design of any additional modeling and analysis tools
necessary to evaluate the proposed systems integration options in the overall context of existing
municipal and agricultural water supply systems.

CONTENTS OF THE PROPOSAL

General - The proposal should include a detailed description of how the Contractor will conduct the
project, the specific personnel to be used (include appropriate resumes), an organizational chart, and
a time schedule for completing the project. A cost estimate, including a schedule of labor and
indirect charges, shall also be submitted. Final project costs will be negotiated between the CWCB
and the contractor.

The content of the proposal and associated narrative described in the RFP and attachments
are presented as guidance for the format of the proposal and should be followed as closely as
possible. Proposals should be concise and relevant to the identified tasks. The Contractor's proposal
will be made part of the contract between the CWCB and the Contractor.
