Project Title: Evaluation of Fish Friendly Structures along the Poudre River
Original Bid/RFP Project Number & Name:
Commencement Date: Dec 15, 2014
Completion Date: May 1, 2014
Maximum Fee: (time and reimbursable direct costs):40,000
Project Description: The purpose of this Scope of Work is to conduct an evaluation of
several diversion structures that presently exist along the Cache la Poudre River. The
evaluation is intended to determine the capability to provide improvements to these
structures to promote more "fish friendly" facilities and allow connectivity for various
aquatic species. Alternatives will be identified and evaluated including sufficient design
details to facilitate development of costs for installation of the improvements.
Considerations associated with permitting, landownership, and coordination with facility
owners will also be identified and discussed in a document summarizing the results.
Scope of Services: See Attached
Professional agrees to perform the services
identified above and on the attached forms in
accordance with the terms and conditions
contained herein and in the Professional Services
Agreement between the parties. In the event of a
conflict between or ambiguity in the terms of the
Professional Services Agreement and this work
order (including the attached forms) the
Professional Services Agreement shall control.
The attached forms consisting of _ (_)

SCOPE OF WORK
forthe
EVALUATION OF FISH FRIENDLY STRUCTURES ALONG THE POUDRE RIVER
The purpose of this Scope of Work is to conduct an evaluation of several diversion structures
that presently exist along the Cache la Poudre River. The evaluation is intended to determine the
capability to provide improvements to these structures to promote more "fish friendly" facilities and
allow connectivity for various aquatic species. Alternatives will be identified and evaluated including
sufficient design details to facilitate development of costs for installation of the improvements.
Considerations associated with permitting, landownership, and coordination with facility owners will
also be identified and discussed in a document summarizing the results.
The number of structures that will be evaluated is not known at this time and is limited by
budgetary constraints. For the purposes of this scope of work, the structures identified for evaluation
will be obtained from the list below and include:
• Bokelder Ditch Diversion Structure
• Timnath Reservoir Inlet Ditch Diversion Structure
• Lake Canal Diversion Structure
• Larimer and Weld Canal Diversion Structure
• Larimer No. 2/New Mercer/Little Cache/Taylor & Gill Diversion Structure
• Larimer County Canal Diversion Structure
• Pleasant Valley & Lake Canal Diversion Structure
Bradley Anderson, P.E., CFM, President of ACE/Principal Engineer, will serve as the Project
Manager for this work and Brian Smith, P.E., CFM, Senior Engineer for ACE, will serve as the senior
design engineer. Brian Smith will be supported by Scott Parker, P.E., as necessary. Surveying services, if
necessary, will be provided by King Surveyors. As necessary, aquatic services to provide data pertinent
to the development of fish friendly structures will be provided by Miller Ecological Consultants.
Task 1. Data Collection, Field Reconnaissance, and Base Map Preparation
This task will include the collection and review of pertinent data including, but not limited to the
following:
• 2013 LiDAR generated 1-foot contour topographic data collected by the City of Fort Collins.
• 2013 aerial imagery.
• Data available from existing hydraulic models. This data may include survey data of existing
diversion structures and results related to depth of flow and flow velocity at various discharges.
• Existing design plans/details associated with the construction of the existing diversion facilities.
Scope of Work (Continued)
November 7, 2014

• Existing utility information and parcel ownership data available from existing GIS data files.
• Habitat inventory results for the Cache la Poudre River (MEC, January 28, 2014)
As part of this task, site visits will be conducted to :familiarize the project staff with the specific site
conditions to help facilitate the evaluation, design and cost estimation. This task will also include
prioritizing the eight diversion structures to accommodate funding available for the project.
Cost $ 2,200
Task 2. Alternative Development and Evaluation
This task will involve the development of alternatives for the installation of fish friendly improvements
to existing diversion structures. It is anticipated that not more than 3 alternatives will be developed and
evaluated for feasibility at each location. During this task, information pertinent to the evaluation and
conceptual design will be compiled and will include:
• Range of flows critical for the passage of the aquatic species of interest. Minimum flow ranges
will be especially important.
• Flows available at each location; i.e., identification of the flows that must be passed at each
diversion location.
• Identification of the target aquatic species and associated design parameters related to cruising
speed, sustained speed, darting speed, and failure speed.
Conceptual details associated with the alternatives will be compiled and presented with a range of costs
for each alternative. Fish friendly structures that have been recently installed along the Front Range will
be identified and information obtained to facilitate the evaluation of the alternative concepts. A
recommendation will be provided for the fish friendly improvements best suited for each location. The
recommendation will be based on cost, considerations with respect to permitting and institutional
constraints, potential impact to property owners, and benefits related to associated target species.
Cost $ 12,400
Task 3. Alternative Details/Costs and Permitting
Based on the results of Task 2, specific details will be provided for each diversion structure location to
promote the development of cost estimates associated with the improvements. Costs will include
construction, design, coordination fees with irrigation entities, etc. Funding opportunities may also be
investigated as part of this task. Permitting requirements will be identified and investigated. To the
extent possible, potential utility conflicts will also be identified.
Cost $ 15,500
