Solicitation of stakeholder input and advice through publication of a South Platte edition of <br />He~rdw~rters Magazine <br />Attachment A: Scope of Work <br />I. Task Descriptions <br />Task 1: Story Budget Creation <br />The first step of publication is creation of a story budget for the issue. A story budget is an <br />outline of the stories to be included in the issue, the length of each story and identification of <br />sources and reviewers for each story. <br />The Foundation has well-vetted procedures for creating the story budget that have been adopted <br />by the Board of Trustees. The adopted Headwaters Publication Guidelines are attached. In short, <br />staff and members of the Foundation's Educational Programs Committee and Publications <br />Committee meet to brainstorm the potential stories. Ideas are vetted by the full Board of Trustees <br />and any outside authorities familiar with the topic. <br />A member of the South Platte or Metro Roundtable will be invited to serve as an interim <br />committee member for the South Platte issue to better include information on the Roundtable's <br />needs assessment and technical work. That roundtable member will also help the Foundation <br />with creating information in the edition that will instruct readers on how to provide feedback to <br />the roundtables, as per requirements in CRS Section 37-75-104(2). <br />The Publication's editor then contacts writers for the issue and makes assignments. <br />The story budget which outlines the issue and length of each story is the deliverable for this task. <br />Task 2: Writing and Editing <br />Writers assigned to each story then contact sources, conduct background research and write their <br />pieces. Once draft text is complete, the raw text is submitted to the editor for initial review. <br />Upon completion of her review, the edited text is sent to the Foundation Publications Committee <br />and any outside reviewers for fact-checking, additional editing and general readability. The <br />attached Headwaters Publication Guidelines outlines the process more fully. <br />Edited text of the magazine is the deliverable for this task. <br />Task 3: Graphic Design and Printing <br />The edited text is laid out and photographs, graphics and any other visual art is created and <br />included in the layout. <br />The layout of the magazine is then reviewed by the Foundation Publications Committee and any <br />outside reviewers. <br />Approved layout is then sent to the printer. 6,500 copies of the South Platte Basin issue will be <br />printed. <br />
