<br />.' <br /> <br />FIRST DRAFT OF "DETAILS" FOi< RFP ON SOUTH PLATTE STUDY: <br /> <br />co <br /> <br />The main body of the study will consist of an evaluation <br />of the "full range' of water use options in the Colorado <br />portion of the South Platte River. <br /> <br />o Discussion papers on a variety of threshold issues, <br />or sLaLed in a different way, issucs that may not be <br />entirely germane to the limited scope of this study, <br />will be circulated before the contractor formally begins <br />\~ork. Examples: <br /> <br />1.) outflows from Denver <br />2.) tributary flows in the upper <br />reaches of the basin <br />3.) crane habitat in Nebraska <br /> <br />o The "full range" of development options should include, <br />but not be limited to, the following: <br /> <br />~~ <br />\ ~oJl ~~ y \ <br />",~u(\"" <br />. <br />\'(1" <br /> <br />1.) ^ chapter of the study will be <br />devoted to a review of the Narrows. <br />This section should include any <br />new or updated information about <br />the project. Possible modifications <br />to the Narrows could be outlined <br />in this section. Modifications <br />might include redUCing the size <br />an;'/ adding a power componentl '..:TC-. <br />101:. <br /> <br />2.) An alternate location for one large <br />main stcm storage fa~ility. <br /> <br />) <br /> <br />3.) A series of small or medium size <br />storage facilities on the main stem <br />and/or feeder streams. <br /> <br />4.) Ground water augmentation. <br /> <br />5.) The study should also examine the <br />feasibility of a basin wide management <br />approach for the South Platte in <br />Colorado. The purpose of this section <br />would be to determine which, and how, <br />individual water development options <br />might be used with other options <br />to maximize water utilization <br />throughout the basin. <br /> <br />o Each development proposal, or combination of proposals, will <br />be evaluated in terms of how it corresponds to the previously <br />stated "goals" of water development in the South Platte basin. <br /> <br />o The contractor will, to the extent possible, devise a <br />standardized means by which the various options can be <br />compared. Furthermorc, the evaluation should be presented <br />
