(WWE) is pleased to present this engineering proposal to define the facts and develop a plan for Eagle County (County) to acquire adequate Robinson Ditch water from the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) to meet the ultimate irrigation needs of the County's community center (formerly the USFS Mt. Sopris Tree Farm) near Basalt, Colorado. WWE will prepare this report under the general guidance of Jeff Houpt and yourself. WWE has long been familiar with the Robinson Ditch and the Mt. Sopris Tree Farm property. We will rely, in part, upon this history and experience to prepare our report and recommendations. We understand that this report may be the basis for negotiations between the County and the USFS to acquire the water. We propose to undertake the following scope of work. 1. Working with County personnel, we will review and document the irrigation water requirements for the Community Center. 2. WWE will review available reports regarding the Robinson Ditch and the Mt. Sopris Tree Farm including documentation regarding the transfer of the land to the County. 3. WWE will review and document the historic use of Robinson Ditch water at the Mt. Sopris Tree Farm. The analysis will include prorating the historic use between the current lands owned by the County and those retained by the USFS. Historic use of the Mt. Sopris Tree Farm wells will also be integrated into the analysis. 4. WWE will consult with you, Mr. Houpt, Rich Cunningham, and possibly USFS personnel regarding this analysis. 5. WWE will prepare an engineering report documenting the findings of the above work items and will make recommendations on the appropriate amount of water rights that should be transferred from the USFS to the County to meet the ultimate irrigation requirements of the Community Center.
