• <br /> report I have asked Mark Klee, from RMC to <br /> present more detail regarding this report. <br /> Providing the presentation and material meets <br /> ( the satisfaction of Council we are requesting <br /> authorization to proceed to the preliminary <br /> design. <br /> When we start the design portion of the <br /> project it will be divided into three phases; <br /> predesign which identifies the design con- <br /> cept; preliminary design which starts putting <br /> dimensions and floor plans ; and the final <br /> design which puts it down to the nut and <br /> bolt. At this time we are trying to progress <br /> from the predesign to the preliminary design. <br /> Mark Klee, Principal, Rocky Mountain Consultants, Inc. 8301 East <br /> Prentice Avenue No. 101, Englewood, CO 80111. <br /> Klee: The predesign is not a finite analysis but <br /> evaluates the big picture issues particularly <br /> costs. The issues that we looked at closely <br /> were related to phasing requirements over <br /> time for the facility; phase one through <br /> phase four. How phase one and subsequent. <br /> phases would impact capital cost. Addition- <br /> ally the location of the phasing; first <br /> phase through phase four as it relates to the <br /> existing City owned property. This was of <br /> particular concern to City staff and Council <br /> to try to defer, if not totally eliminate the <br /> potential of having to acquire additional <br /> land and potentially relocate the Community <br /> Ditch. This represents a substantial cost of <br /> what we would consider a less then beneficial <br /> expenditure. <br /> Energy costs and operational costs were also <br /> looked at. We did not go into total opera- <br /> tional cost analysis. We identified the major <br /> operational requirements and they were relat- <br /> ed directly to energy consumption for pump- <br /> ing. We did design and construction costs <br /> for Phase I, and related that back to the <br /> estimated cost that we prepared in the 1990 <br /> study. Requirements of the facility must be <br /> reliable and provide consistent water quali- <br /> ty that meets mandatory federal regulations <br /> at all times. <br /> When the City approached us to analyze the <br /> site and the long-term requirements for a <br /> facility of up to 20.0 MGD, There were a lot <br /> of items that were uncertain as to how the <br /> 2 <br />
