Two' alternative projects' were selected within each of the scenarios. in order to, allow a gr.eater range of opportunity for comparison and selection. H. Evaluation of Alternatives A financial analysis was prepared for the eight selected project, configurations. Two different financing scenarios were assumed. 'For Scenario 1 half of the project capital costs would be funded by a Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) project loan at 5% interest for 40 years and the remainder of the capital costs would be funded through the issuance of bonds by the West Divide Water Conservation District (WOWCD). A three year cons t,ruct ion , perioc:t wa,s assumed for all projects with 20% of the capital costs occurring in year 1, 50% in year 2, and 30% in year 3. An 8% interest rate was used for both construction loans and bonds. There wo"ld be no interest during construction for the ewCB loan portion of the costs. In financing Scenario 2, all of the capital costs would be funded by a 5% loan for 40 years from the ewCB. There would be no interest during the construction phase of, the, project., Annual operation and maintenance (O&M) costs were calculated as 0.5% of total capital costs in all cases. The results of the financial analysis are presented in Table 1-4 as annual costs by project configuration for both funding scenarios. 1-15
