construed to operate as a waiver of any rights or benefits provided to the City under this
Agreement.

EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF WORK
Background:
The Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP), a water development project proposed by
Northern Water Conservancy District, is currently going through a required federal permitting
process. NISP would divert water from the Cache la Poudre River and is likely to have negative
impacts on Poudre River health and the City’s water related assets. Since 2008 the City has
engaged in the permitting process for NISP through the formal federal regulatory permitting
process. After two draft Environmental Impact Statements and 12 years of permitting, the Army
Corps of Engineers (the project permitting agency) is nearing the final stages of this water
development project. City Council recently approved a resolution for staff to begin discussions
and seek solutions with Northern Water. The development of mitigation measures to offset
NISP’s environmental impacts to the Poudre River and other affected City assets is the focus of
these discussions.
Overview: The Natural Areas Department intends to engage the services of Bill Hansen to join
the City’s NISP team as an expert consultant on an on-call basis.
Tasks
Task 1
Become familiar with the current status of the NISP project, City’s river health initiatives and
management of water related assets. Staff will direct Mr. Hansen to the relevant documents
and support this process through several meetings with the NISP team.
Task 2
Provide topic specific expertise and strategic input throughout the process. Assist the staff team
with ideas for additional analysis and inquiries. Provide staff team with strategic guidance
related to the process especially in light of specific experiences and projects previously worked
on by Mr. Hansen.
Task 3
Attend meetings central to this process. Mr. Hansen’s participation in these meetings will be
supportive and to provide suggestions on critical path issues, rather than as a decision maker
for the City. Also his participation in various meetings will serve to enhance the team’s capacity
and skills as staff engages with various audiences.
1. In staff meetings (1-2 per month) Mr. Hansen’s role will be too participate actively with
ideas and contributions as a core NISP team member.
2. During meetings with Northern Water Mr. Hansen’s role will be to participate primarily as
an observer so he is fully apprised and engaged with the details and progress. Staff
would like Mr. Hansen to participate actively at points in the discussions where
clarification is needed or when he perceives critical issues are being discussed that may
require additional preparation. Mr. Hansen would also be expected to join the
conversation where his personal project experience could provide helpful context or new
ideas that could catalyze gains in the conversation. As the process evolves his role in
these discussions may expand.

SS 2017 - William R. Hansen Page 7 of 9
3. Participate in the technical advisory group meetings as a core NISP team member,
perhaps as facilitator and technical advisor to help clarify perceptions/understanding by
the committee.
4. Mr. Hansen will collaborate with staff from several City departments, including the City
Attorney’s office and the City’s Water Utilities. Participate in other meetings
(undetermined at this point) that are directly related to this project.
Task 4
If solutions are developed as an outcome of this process, Mr. Hansen will assist in the crafting
and detailed development of these agreements. Additionally, throughout the process there may
be assistance needed in tracking and communicating developments through memos, report,
agreements, communications (this does not include taking minutes).
Deliverables, Supervision and Budget
Mr. Hansen will work for the Natural Areas Department under direct supervision of Jen
Shanahan. John Stokes is the City’s lead for this project so will also provide direction to Mr.
Hansen. Regular check-ins with Jen and John about Mr. Hansen’s roles will facilitate clear roles
and effective use of his time since precise deliverables and specific tasks are not explicit at the
outset of this project.
The project is estimated to require on average 20 hours of Mr. Hansen’s time for 12 months (the
scope will expire 12 months from the date it is approved, approximately April 1st 2018). This
project will be billed based on time, materials and travel. At the rate of $125/hour this will require
a budget of not to exceed $30,000 including expenses (material and travel).
