Phase I – HWSP Permitting Support
Work Order No. 3
September 22, 2015
MWH Americas, Inc.
Purpose
The purpose of this work order is to continue providing support for the Halligan Water Supply Project
(HWSP) Phase I – Permitting under the current Professional Services Agreement between MWH
America, Inc., and the City of Fort Collins (City). The support included in this work order consists of
additional on‐call services to support the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) development and the
associated permitting process. This document provides background and the scope of services for Work
Order No.3.
Background
In 2014, MWH was selected to continue supporting the City in the HWSP permitting process. The Phase
I tasks included generating information to be provided to the Third‐Party Consultant (3PC) for the EIS.
This included performing engineering studies for the action and no action alternatives to Halligan
Reservoir enlargement that describe the alternative configuration and components approved by the
Corps of Engineers (COE) to be analyzed in the EIS. As part of our ongoing HWSP permitting support in
2015 with the City, MWH has been answering questions regarding the alternatives and developing
additional information for the EIS alternatives analysis at the City’s request. These additional efforts
were covered under the On‐Call task (Task 5) in Work Order No.1, but it required shifting budget
allocated to Task 4 – EIS Review. Additional support is expected in the upcoming months, including the
original tasks under the EIS Review, as analyses are completed in preparation of the Draft EIS (DEIS),
which is currently scheduled to be released in the spring of 2016.
