Thus, in the extremes considered, the MC alternative <br />'Would be 5% cheaper and in the other caS8 (Corps ass1U!lptions) SS 'Would <br />be 10% cheap8r. The method difference b8tween the Corps and the <br />contractor is only 1%; this differ8nce is likely attributable to the <br />detail8d timing of plant construction and operation. <br />The contractor therefor8 concludes that the economic diff8rences <br />between the Foothills alternatives are actually very narrow and likely <br />troll within the errors of estimating and proj8cting future costs. <br />Hence, economics should not play a determining role in deciding tl1is <br />issue. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />.' <br /> <br />00702 <br />
