Metropolitan Water Supply Investigation Proposal Hydrosphere, Inc. Septmber 17, 1993 Page 52 Special Studies - Other Studies Purpose The primary purpose of this task is to provide an contingency budget for investigating other systems integration ideas that may surface during Study process and/or to provide for more in-{)epth evaluation of issues and concerns. Methodology and Evaluation Techniques The procedure for completion of this task will be determined when specific ideas or issues are identified. Deliverables The work products for this task will be determined when specific ideas or issues are identified. Cost The initially estimated budget for this task is $20,000. Model SpecificBtion Purpose At a minimum, some form of analytical capability will be needed to evaluate the specific water supply options developed in the Study. In addition, a model with a good deal of flexibility will be desirable in order to facilitate the exploration of additional water supply ideas that may surface during the Study after the model is developed. Under this task, a determination will be made regarding the suitability of existing models for these purposes, based on the findings of Task 4. This task will then specify the Study's modeling needs either in terms of a new model or modifications to an existing model. Methodology and Evaluation Techniques In Task 4, an inventory will be made of the capability and flexibility of existing modeling tools available for use in the Study. Tasks 5 through 9 will develop more detailed information on specific water supply options that will have a bearing on the Study's model needs. Based on the results of these earlier efforts, in this task a model specification will be developed which captures both the analytical requirements posed by the water supply options being considered and the inherent analytical flexibility needed to quickly evaluate a variety of other system integration ideas which may subsequently arise in later phases of the Study.
