Prior to constructing the Halligan -Seaman Project, the Cities must obtain the appropriate federal authon- zalions as well as partici- The cities of Fort Collins and Greeley, like many other cities along the Colorado Front Range, manage their water systems with the intent to meet demands during a drought that typically CC_ curs once every 50 years (a "50-year drought"). To efficiently manage their water supplies, the Cities need additional storage Capacity in the Cache Is Poudre River Basin. The Cities and their part- ners have idenified the Halligan -Seaman Project to develop this additional stor- age through the enlarge- ment of Halligan Reservoir (owned by Fort Collins) and the enlargement of Millon Seaman Reservoir (owned pate in the Corps' prepara- tion of an EIS in Coopera- tion with other agencies identified prior to and dur- ing the scoping process. The Consulting Team se- lected to complete the EIS will work directly for the Corps as a Third Parry Consultant, however, the Cities will be responsible for all contracts and com- pensation. In addition, the selected Third -Parry Con- sultant must sign a "No Conflict of Interest" state- ment with the Corps. The selected Third Party Consultant will be responsi- ble for the preparation and by Greeley). The City of Fort Collins anticipates the need for its additional stor- age in less than 10 years, The City of Greeley will require more storage within 15-20 years. The Halligan - Seaman Project should allow for improved water management strategies resulting in: better utiliza- tion of existing water sup- plies (including non-Poudre River Basin water) and agriwlturel water rights to be obtained in the future, as well as greater opportu- nities for environmental enhancement in the Poodle River Basin. The purpose of the Halli- ganSeaman Project, as defined by the Cities, is to cooperatively develop completion of all EIS docu- mentation for the Halligan - Seaman Project in a000r- dance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended. The EIS must fully meet all requirements of the Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines (40 CFR Part 230), the regulatory requirements of the Council on Environ- mental Quality (40 CFR Parts 15M through 1508), and the NEPA and regula- tory requirements of the Corps (33 CFR Parts 320- 330 and Appendices — per- mits and public interest review). approximately 72,000 acre feet of additional storage capacity in the Cache Is Poudre River Basin by enlarging both reservoirs. This will enable the Cities and their partners to more efficiently manage their water rights resulting in an increased yield sufficient to provide 1-in-50 year drought protection to cus- tomers within their service - areas. Given the close proximity of the proposed reservoir enlargements, and the po- tential for coordinated op- erations between the enlarged reservoirs, the Cities are proposing that the Halligan -Seaman Pro- ject be evaluated in a sin- gle NEPA process.

Milton Seaman and Halligan Reservoir In 1989, Fort Collins Utility and NPIC completed a study to enlarge Halligan Reservoir to increase water supply reliability, especially during drought years. Several years later, in 1993, Fort Collins Utilities signed an agreement with NPIC to acquire rights to the existing reservoir and the Potential enlargement project. In 2002, Fort Collins Utilities up- dated the 1989 feasibility study to address current environmental is- sues and project costs. The 2002 feasibility study outlined four dam types at three alternative locations each storing volumes of 15,000, 25,000 and 40,000 acre-feet. Since „se,,,,rd<,s rw,x,- 31 rC.,nebn,ed Irnrn pugr 2) the 2002 study, other research has been conducted to assess the viabil- ity of this project. Flap tser3 En!arge,nenY and Dam • The most cost-effective enlarge- ment alternative is 40,000 acre- feet at the middle site, 1,000 feet downstream of existing dam, offer- ing significant savings to Fort Collins Utilities customers If the Project is constructed with partners. • The current preferred enlargement alternative is a 40,000 acre-foot reservoir with a roller compacted concrete dam. This preference may change as more studies are com- Pletetl. The cost estimate for this alternative is $40 million, represent- ing a unit cost of $1,190 per acre- foot.

For 60 years, this 5,000 acre-foot reservoir has helped Greeley meet the wa- ter supply needs of citizens. In 1993, Greeley completed a study to enlarge Milton Sea- man Reservoir to increase water supply reliability, espe- cially during drought years. In 2003, Greeley updated the 1993 feasibility study to ad- dress current construction methods and project costs.

These partners include. North Poudre irrigation Company (NPIC; has provided irrigation water to portions of Larimer and Mid Counties for more than 100 years. The Company has a water portfo- lio that includes 18 reservoirs, 40,000 units of the Colorado Big Thompson Project and various native direct -flow de- crees. NPIC also has owned shares in four other ditch companies in the service area. North Wrid Ceunty Water District (NWCWDj was es- tablished in November of 1962 to provide a dependable supply of potable water to a large area of Weld County. The District's service area encompasses 300 square miles serving various rural areas and the communities of Auft, Eaton, Pierce, Severance, Galeton, Gill, Lucerne, Nunn, Windsor and a portion of Greeley. Annual water delivered including town contracts is 5,846 acre-feet. Fort Coliins-i..oveiand Water District (FCLWD) adopted a master plan in 1994, incorporating a comprehen- sive approach to provide safe, reliable, potable water at a reasonable cost. The District's future water -demand pro- jections are based on the historic increases in water de- mands of 4.28 percent from 1980 to 1990 and 5.4 percent proximately 43,000 acre-feet. This includes the replacement of the exist- ing dam/spillway. The estimated cost is approximately $42 million (not including a diversion from the mainstem). The unit cost for the additional storage (beyond the current 5,000 acre-feet of storage) is $1, 100 per acre-foot. since 1990. The future demands are further supported by land -use designations incorporated into comprehensive plans for the cities of Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Timnath and the counties of Larimer and Weld. The Dis- trict currently serves more than 11,500 taps or a popula- tion of approximately 36.800 in an area of 60 square miles. East Larimer County ;Hater District (ELCO) was created in 1962 to provide drinking water to homes and businesses located north and east of Fort Collins. By De- cember 2003, ELCO had grown to serve 5.050 customer accounts. Approximately 20 percent of the property within the District boundaries has been annexed into the City of Fort Collins. The City of Evans completed the most extensive up- date to its 'Comprehensive Land Use Plan' in the City's history in 2002. This plan will guide the City's growth and development well into the future with a planning horizon out to the year 2030. To meet the needs of Evans, the City has subsequently undertaken studies to determine long -tern water re- source needs. This effort is consistent with Evans' mis- sion of providing safe and reliable water service to its citizens and other customers. Page I of I Purchasing - RFQ 001 Halligan -Seaman Water Management Project From: Purchasing To: Purchasing Date: Wednesday, March 23, 2005 2:49:29 PM Subject: RFQ 001 Halligan -Seaman Water Management Project CC: Cliff Hoelscher; Opal Dick Please find below a question and answer regarding Halligan -Seaman Water Management Project. QUESTION: My question concerns potential conflicts between the interests of other clients represented by a proposing project team and the interests of the City of Greeley. For instance, one company with whom we are considering teaming represents a Front Range area water conservancy district in water rights matters. The water conservancy district has, in the past, been an objector to City of Greeley water rights actions. Our potential partner has checked with its client, the water conservancy district, and has confirmed that they have no concern with a conflict of interest in this situation. Our question is: would the City of Greeley have a concern or an issue with a consultant team who currently and in the past has represented entities that have been in opposition to the City of Greeley on water rights matters? ANSWER - At the scoping meeting we discussed potential conflicts of interest, from both the Corps' perspective and the cities' perspectives. It was recognized that most consulting firms have worked for multiple entities within the state, and along the front range, and that many of these entities have been, at one time or another, objectors to the cities' water rights actions. I would suggest that you proceed with your submission of the SOQ.
