<br />~ <br />c.~ <br />f,) <br />~ <br /> <br />(A) and Selig (E) systems have been identified. <br />During the collection of specific design <br />information and preparation of detailed plans, <br />alternative designs (i.e. re-alignments) will <br />present themselves which will result in the <br />reduction of costs for placing pipe. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />i. All rights-of-way and easement work will be <br />completed by UVWUA personnel. The improved canals <br />will continue to use the existing alignment, but <br />some additional ROW may be required to accommodate <br />the PVC membrane liner. Costs of acquiring ROW <br />were based on information provided by the UVWUA <br />and obtained from local sources. <br /> <br />In general, the piped laterals will follow <br />existing alignments, however, the combining of <br />laterals or re-alignments for efficiency purposes <br />may require new easements. These easements will <br />be obtained by the UVWUA under their stock <br />subscriptions with the landowners, which provide <br />for necessary ROW as needed for works for <br />irrigation. Cost of documentation of ROWand <br />easements is covered in the cost estimate. Other <br />administrative costs are covered by the UVWUA's . <br />overhead allowance. <br /> <br />j. The overhead rate used for this cost estimate is <br />based on similar work being done on similar <br />projects, specifically Greenfields R&B program, <br />Great Plains Region; Grand Valley Water Users <br />Association Cooperative agreement, and MCID/PID <br />Cooperative Agreement. The total overhead rates <br />for these projects range between 9% and 18%. <br /> <br />k. The UVWUA has the ability to complete <br />approximately $5,000,000 of work per year through <br />use of force account construction methods. The <br />following Reclamation staff at the displayed <br />annual cost will be available for their <br />assistance: <br /> <br />1 Resident Engineer <br />1 Design/Field Engineer <br />1 Inspector/Technician <br />1/8 FTE GJPO Oversite <br />1/4 FTE GJPO Contract Admin. <br />1/8 FTE Region Design Review <br />1/16 FTE Region O&M Review <br /> <br />GS-12 <br />GS-11 <br />GS-8 <br />GS-l1 <br />GS-9 <br />GS-ll <br />GS-lI <br /> <br />$100,000 <br />$90,000 <br />$56,000 <br />$l2,500 <br />$15,000 <br />$5,600 <br />$2,800 <br /> <br />This is approximately 5.6% of the program.
