PROJECT MANAGEMENT/OWNERSHIP. Man agemen t The organization for project management during design and construction and for operilrion and maintenance are viewed as open. Both Reclamation and Western recognize the need for flexibility to accommodate non-Federal rinancing and ownership requirements in this project. Reclamation is moving toward final design data gathering and is planning to prepare specification designs consistent with the construction schedule in this proposal. Recl amation is also will ing to provide co'nstruction manage- ment services or let those services be provided for as will best accommodate the configuration of participants and financing requirements. This flexibility is also reflected in Reclamation's position during opera- tion and maintenance, assuming required water deliveries are made by the operating entity.

Ownership Recl amation 1 aw generally requires that title to project works remain Wlth the Unlted States. However, in light of the possible financing requlrements, thlS matter is being reviewed. We believe that the ultimate financing str.'ctures for this project depend upon the mix of financing par- ticipants; each of their needs with respect to ownership will vary with their taxable status. We are very willing to work with project partici- pants to find mutually agreeable ownership arrangements. -{-, j~~ ~~ 25
