BISHOP-BROGDEN ASSOCIATES, INC..
The Scope of Work is for continued water rights engineering analysis to support the change of use of Fort
Collins' 26.667 WSSC shares. Engineering services will be charged on a time and materials basis. The
project is now in a phase that requires the completion of additional engineering work necessary to satisfy
objectors and to obtain the final decree. There may be additional work required in the event the case does
not settle and a trial is necessary. In that case, expert reports and /or testimony must be produced. Work
activities in all phases will be coordinated with the project manager and charged on an hourly rate basis.
Monthly invoices documenting the services provided will be submitted.
Negotiations with Objectors (Stipulated Decree)
Following completion of the preliminary engineering report and proposed decree, it is common to have
meetings with various objectors to discuss issues and potential settlement terms and review draft
stipulations and changes to the proposed decree. It is very difficult to estimate the nature of the work and
the potential costs associated with these activities until the extent of the objector concerns becomes more
apparent.
The goal of these activities is to support the City's water rights legal counsel in his work to successfully
obtain a decree. This will require communicating with the water rights legal counsel and meeting or
communicating with the objectors in the case to discuss technical issues of concern.
Trial Preparation and Participation
If settlement with any objector becomes difficult, a trial may be required to resolve remaining issues.
Additional engineering will be required to review objector Expert Reports and to prepare rebuttal analysis
and reports. Ultimately the consulting engineers maybe required to provide expert witness testimony in
water court.
The goal of these activities is to support the City's water rights legal counsel in his work to successfully
obtain a decree in the event that a trial is required.
