January 6, 2012 <br />Re: Request for proposals for the one -time lease of raw water <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />The Board of Water Works of Pueblo (the Board) is extending an invitation to water users to <br />submit proposals for the lease of water. The Board anticipates having 6,500 to 11,500 acre -feet <br />of surplus water available for lease for 2012. Initial approval of proposals will be made at the <br />Board's regular monthly meeting on February 21, 2012. If additional water is available, <br />additional proposals may be approved in later months. <br />This water is stored in Turquoise, Twin Lakes, Clear Creek and Pueblo Reservoirs. Reusable <br />return flows may also be utilized, when appropriate, to satisfy lease deliveries. The source of the <br />water to be delivered is at the Board's discretion and the transit loss from the point of release to <br />the point of use shall be borne by the lessee. However, we will deliver the type of water legally <br />appropriate for the intended use and we will attempt, whenever possible, to deliver water from <br />the point nearest the intended use to minimize transit loss. The leased water must be taken by <br />December 31, 2012. Any leased water still in storage on January 1, 2013, will revert back to the <br />Board and no refund of payment will be made. <br />If you are interested in leasing this water, please submit a proposal (or proposals) including the <br />quantity you wish to lease, the price you are offering, the location of delivery, the type of use, <br />and a monthly schedule of estimated deliveries. Proposals with a total value of less than $500 <br />will not be considered. Proposals must be received at the Board of Water Works no later than <br />2:30p.m., February 14, 2012. Any proposals received after the time and date specified will not <br />be considered. You can mail the proposals to: <br />Purchasing Dept — Water Lease <br />Pueblo Board of Water Works <br />PO Box 400 <br />Pueblo, CO 81002 -0400 <br />Or they can be hand delivered to our purchasing department on the 1s floor at 319 West 4th <br />Street in Pueblo. Each proposal must be accompanied by a check for the total proposal price or in <br />the case of a public entity; a purchase order or letter of commitment for the amount of the <br />proposal is also acceptable. Checks and purchase orders for proposals that are not accepted will <br />be returned. <br />
