2011 RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR REGULATORY FLOODPLAINS IN COLORADO
September 12, 2011
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In November 2010,the Colorado Water Conservation Board established new statewide floodplain rules
(Rules)that apply to all geographic areas in Colorado. The Rules became effective on January 14, 2011
and established new minimum standards for certain floodplain management activities in excess of those
required by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
Several important requirements are contained in the Rules including, but not limited to,the following
floodplain management standards that exceed NFIP minimum standards:
• One foot of freeboard shall be provided to all new and substantially changed structures in 100-
year floodplains,with the exception of critical facilities;
• Two feet of freeboard shall be provided to all new and substantially changed critical facilities(as
defined in the rules) in 100-year floodplains;
• In areas with base flood elevations defined,floodway surcharge criteria shall be reduced to 0.5
feet(from 1.0 feet)for all new studies begun after January 14,2011. Exceptions to this
requirement exist and are discussed in the rules as well as this document. The process for
determining floodways and regulations associated with the floodways remain unchanged; and
• Communities shall regulate areas construction in areas removed from FEMA's regulatory
floodplain through a LOMR Based on Fill by requiring require new and substantially improved
structures built on these lands to maintain a lowest floor one foot above the base flood
elevation,consistent with development in other regulatory floodplains;
The purpose of this guidance document is to provide information on the intent and objective of the
Rules as well as to clarify areas of ambiguity.The Rules should not be used as a justification for excessive
regulation without proper local promulgation. Local governments should update, adopt,and enforce
their own local ordinances to stay in compliance with the Rules.
It is important to note that both the NFIP and the CWCB have always encouraged and recognized
voluntary higher standards by local governments. Communities may, at their sole discretion,adopt
ordinances that go beyond state and federal standards.The CWCB can assist local governments with
technical information and support regarding higher standards that may be in the best interest of the
community and its citizens.
As stated in the Rules,communities have a three year grace period (through January 14, 2014)to update
their local ordinances to be consistent with the new minimum requirements.The CWCB will work closely
with communities on a case-by-case basis to provide guidance and ordinance update assistance as
needed. Staff will gladly assist with assessment of alleged violations and will work with local officials to
come up with reasonable remedies and correction measures on a case-by-case basis.

General Statements
Although the Rules present higher standards than those set forth as minimums standards in the NFIP,
they become the effective minimum standards for Colorado (in accordance with 40 CFR Part 60.1).
This guidance document is also intended to address issues relating to the adoption and implementation
of higher standards outlined in the Rules. It is outside of the scope of this document to provide
technical assistance for regular standards of the NFIP. For help in administering or complying with NFIP
regulations, please contact the CWCB or FEMA for assistance or a list of resource documents.
This is a guidance document only,and is not meant to be regulatory in nature. As such, if any
statements made in this document are found to be in conflict with the Rules,then the language and
associated intent of the Rules shall take precedence.
Regarding Rule 3."Purpose and Scope"
It is emphasized that the Rules apply to all State of Colorado(State) agencies as well as federal projects
that are fully or partially financed using State funds. All activities conducted by State agencies must
meet the criteria contained in the Rules,whether taking place on state, local,or private lands. No State
agencies are exempt from the Rules, unless otherwise codified through statutory exemptions on a case-
by-case basis. State agencies are strongly encouraged to meet all local regulations,and are requested to
self-enforce the Rules.
Regarding Rule 5."Regulatory Floodplain"
It is emphasized that for all purposes,the Rules refer to the 100-year floodplain (1%chance floodplain)
as the minimum standard for regulation. There is no CWCB requirement, under any circumstance,for
the 500-year floodplain (0.2%chance floodplain)to be used for local regulation. Local decisions to
implement wise higher standards,such as a 500-year floodplain standard,are voluntary in nature and
the CWCB provides no incentives or disincentives to do so.The 100-year floodplain is consistent with the
minimum standards of the NFIP.
One of the provisions in the Rules that exceed the NFIP minimum standard is the requirement for new
and substantially changed structures on land removed from the 100-year floodplain by a LOMR Based
on Fill (LOMR-F)to be elevated one foot above the base flood elevation. While this provision is
specifically addressed in Rule 11(c),the language in Rule 5 specifies that a land area removed by FEMA
through the LOMB-F process should still be regulated as if it were still in the previously designated
floodplain. The intent of this rule is only to regulate development in areas removed from the 100-year
floodplain as it pertains to lowest floor elevations as outlined in Rule 11(c). It is not the intent of this
rule to apply all other floodplain regulations to these areas.
Substantial changes as defined in the rules generally include substantially damaged and substantially
improved structures as defined in the NFIP.
Regarding Rule 6. "Critical Facilities"
It is emphasized that the Rules do not prohibit the placement of critical facilities in the regulatory
floodplain. Also,while this rule does encourage local governments to regulate critical facilities within an
identified 500-year floodplain,there is no CWCB mandate to either develop 500-year floodplain
mapping or to regulate anything within an established 500-year floodplain.
The only requirement that results from having a structure or facility labeled as a "critical facility" is that
the lowest floor of the structure (or level of protection for a non-structure)should be elevated or
2
floodproofed to two feet above the base flood elevation, rather than one foot above the base flood
elevation. No additional requirements or regulations apply as a result of the critical facility
determination.
Significant latitude is provided to local governments in the determination of whether a proposed land
use constitutes a critical facility. As stated in this rule, any"gray area"scenario is up to the discretion of
the local government as long as it meets the stated spirit and intent of this rule. While it is impossible to
anticipate all circumstances that may arise,the CWCB believes that its intent is clearly stated by the
language and examples provided in this rule. CWCB staff will provide technical assistance to any
communities requesting help with a determination of whether a proposed structure should be
designated as a "critical facility".
Local jurisdictions are not required by this rule to develop a list of critical facilities within their
community. It is up to each community to determine how to address this rule, but the CWCB
recommends to simply add the critical facility determination as a checkoff item to the regular permitting
process. A question such as "Does the proposed use of this project constitute a critical facility as
outlined in this ordinance?" could be added. If this question is answered yes,then two feet of freeboard
above the base flood elevation should be provided in the proposed design. If the question is answered
no,then the regular one foot of freeboard may be provided.
This rule is not intended to be retroactive. However,substantial changes may require the need to
retrofit previously constructed facilities. This substantial change process is not new to the Rules,and
has always been in place as a minimum requirement of the NFIP. As has always been the case,the
process of determining substantial changes is left to local governments, and there is no need to alter the
current local process as a result of this rule. While this rule sets criteria for certain land uses, it is not
intended to prescribe local procedures.
Finally, one community has suggested that a way to circumvent the need for a critical facilities section in
their ordinance is to require two feet of freeboard community-wide in place of the one-foot freeboard
required in these rules. Because the only additional regulation in these rules associated with a critical
facility designation is an additional foot of freeboard,this would suffice to meet the intent and
requirements of the critical facilities ordinance. While it wasn't the intent of the CWCB to encourage
this,CWCB staff nonetheless agrees that if a two-foot freeboard was applied communitywide, it would
nullify the need to have a critical facilities provision in the local ordinance.
Regarding Rule 7."Standards for Delineation of Regulatory Floodplain Information"
The intent of this rule is to provide technical criteria for mapping regulatory floodplains. The required
standards of this rule are intended to be synonymous with FEMA's mapping program.
Regarding Rule 8."Standards for Regulatory Floodways"
Floodway provisions have existed for decades in NFIP regulations. This rule does not change any
regulations associated with floodways, but does create a higher standard (lower surcharge)for the
identification of floodways when new studies occur.
It is emphasized that this rule does not prohibit any activities in the regulatory floodway,as has always
been the case in NFIP and CWCB regulations. Certain operations can and do occur in existing floodway
areas in a viable way. The only additional regulation for floodways (in addition to standard floodplain
regulations,which apply to all areas of the regulatory floodplain, including the floodway) is the
3
requirement for a no-rise certification,which prohibits increases in flood elevations due to activities
within the floodway. This no-rise requirement for floodway activities has always been present within
NFIP regulations. The primary purpose of the floodway requirement is not just protection of the subject
development itself, but also to place a limit on the negative effects of the subject development that are
pushed off onto neighboring properties.
Some discussion regarding the surcharge criteria is needed to frame this guidance. According to the
definition for Regulatory Floodway found in 44 CFR Part 59.1,a regulatory floodway means:
"the channel of a river or other watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be reserved
in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation
more than a designated height" (emphasis added).
The CWCB definition is synonymous with this federal definition. An important point to be taken from
this wording is that the increase to the water surface elevation is not necessarily equal to the
designated height, but can never be more than the designated height. Because cross-sections can vary
greatly,even within a reach,the computed floodway is often extremely erratic over short stretches,
which makes mapping and regulation challenging. A common technique is to"smooth out"the
floodway to a more consistent shape that is more effective for regulation. By definition,the floodway
surcharge can never be more than the designated height, but it can be less. This means that in a typical
portrayal of a floodway,some of the sections in a reach will contain the maximum surcharge, but some
will also show a surcharge less than the designated height, in some cases much less. Examination of a
floodway table in most Flood Insurance Studies will show this in real world examples.
For example, if the designated height is one foot, as has been FEMA's minimum standard for decades, a
sample reach containing 5 cross sections, may show one section with a surcharge of 1.0',one section
with a surcharge of 0.9',one section with a surcharge of 0.5',one section with a surcharge of 0.3', and
one section with a surcharge of 0.1'. When this reach is shown on the corresponding FIRM, a floodway
of relatively consistent width and shape is portrayed.
If the sample reach discussed above were to be restudied,three of the hydraulic model sections (0.5',
0.3' and 0.1'surcharges)would meet the new criteria, but two of the sections (1.0' and 0.9' surcharges)
would need to have a floodway revision to be consistent with the new statewide rules. It may be
possible to re-delineate the floodway with just these two sections revised and still meet FEMA mapping
practices for floodway delineation. It is therefore possible that the remaining three sections would not
need to be revised. However, if the revised floodway needs to be"smoothed out", it is also possible
that some or all of the remaining three sections would need to be revised,even though they have
already met the new criteria.
The Rules require that for all newly studied reaches,the designated floodway surcharge(height) is
reduced to 0.5'. An exemption is available for any studies that result in a change that results in a Letter
of Map Revision (LOMR)to previously mapped floodway delineation, as defined in the rules. In other
words, LOMR submittals are deliberately exempted from the new floodway criteria as an effort in
preventing"patchwork floodways".
This means that new studies that begin after the effective date of the Rules that result in any of the
following should use the new criteria(or stricter, if local rules indicate), regardless of whether a local
ordinance has already been revised with the new criteria:
4
- Any reach with a floodway that is being delineated for the first time, including Risk Map
studies;
- Any reach that is already mapped using a 0.5' criteria;
- Any reach that is being revised in a community that locally requests the new criteria;or
- Any reach that is being revised through a FEMA Physical Map Revision
If a new study results in a floodplain and floodway delineation that does not meet any of the above four
circumstances, it may continue to use the floodway surcharge criteria that was in place for the previous
floodway delineation.
This rule must be applied regardless of whether the restudy was initiated at the local,state,or federal
level,as long as it meets one of the above four conditions. Many studies initiated at the local level are
of a smaller nature, and regulatory changes are often accomplished through a LOMR. As stated above,
these studies would be exempt from the new requirement.
Another important area of clarification relates to the transition of regulation from a 1'surcharge criteria
to a 0.5' surcharge criteria. With very limited exceptions, nearly all floodways depicted on currently
effective Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) in Colorado portray the 1'surcharge criteria. Although
some communities have expressed a desire for many years to have a lesser surcharge portrayed on their
FIRMs(most commonly 0.5'), FEMA typically has mapped only the 1'surcharge floodway due to a
longstanding policy that floodways based on an allowable surcharge more restrictive than the minimum
standard would have to be adopted by state law or regulation (even when a 0.5'floodway is available
and desired by the community).
Because the definition of a floodway states that the surcharge cannot be more than a designated height,
a surcharge that is consistently less than the designated height is appropriate and fits the definition. For
this reason, CWCB believes that the new surcharge criteria does not require a change in local ordinance
and therefore can be considered effective as of January 14, 2011. It is appropriate then that the new
floodway criteria can be assumed effective for all new studies that started on or after January 14,2011.
The start date is defined as issuance of Notice to Proceed for all non-federal studies and the date of
formal issuance of the scope of work for all federal studies. An exemption is available for any studies
that result in a change to a previously mapped floodway delineation due to a LOMR, as defined in the
Rules. For normal circumstances,federal studies will take several years to complete and it is highly
unlikely that the CWCB will need to designate and approve new floodway information (with the 0.5'
surcharge) during the three year grace period unless a community has a specific need or request to do
SO.
The CWCB does not intend to designate newly mapped or remapped floodways with a 1'surcharge
criteria for studies with a start date on or after January 14, 2011,with the exception of remapped
floodways to be revised through a LOMR. FEMA has been coordinating with the CWCB regarding the
new criteria and will support this rule statewide.
The intent of this rule is to avoid "patchwork"floodways,with alternating criteria along short reaches,
which is why studies resulting in Letters of Map Revision are specifically exempted. For the sake of
consistency and fairness,the CWCB suggests that all new floodway information using the new 0.5'
surcharge criteria should be completed as part of an objective government study that would lead to new
FIRMs or Physical Map Revisions.
5
The CWCB has committed to maintaining a statewide database of stream reaches that use the 0.5'
criteria. Once a reach is mapped with the 0.5'surcharge criteria, it must continue to use those criteria in
future studies.
FEMA and its mapping contractor have been involved in the discussions regarding transitioning to the
new criteria. FEMA and the CWCB recommend that any uncertainty over prevailing criteria of a
restudied reach should be addressed to the CWCB. If there is uncertainty regarding whether a study will
result in a LOMR or a Physical Map Revision, FEMA and its mapping contractor will provide technical
support. It is strongly recommended that inquiries regarding this issue take place before the study is
started.
It must be emphasized that this rule does not require automatic remapping of any stream reaches In
other words, if existinp,delineated stream reaches have a 1.0'surcharge floodway attached to them
they may continue to exist as the regulatory floodways until a decision is made in the future to restudy
them. This rule only addresses the criteria to be used when the decision is made to update the stream
reaches. If a community is satisfied with the accuracy of a stream reach that has already been mapped,
then it may continue to regulate that reach with the currently mapped floodway. However,as soon as a
stream reach is restudied, it should incorporate the new criteria to remap the floodway, unless it will
revise the effective FIRM with a LOMR.
It must also be emphasized that this rule does not require a floodway to be mapped for new studies.
The level of detail for floodplain studies has always varied based on the funds available for the study and
the desire for information by the local community. It is still allowable to complete a detailed study for a
studied stream without delineating a floodway, as has always been the case. This rule does not add a
requirement for floodways to be created either in detailed or approximate studies.
The new criteria are generally considered to be a mapping issue, rather than a regulation issue. The new
criteria associated with this rule only affect the identification of a floodway reach. It does not, in any
way,change the floodplain regulations associated with the floodway or the process used by a local
government to regulate floodways. As such, local governments are recommended to simply regulate
identified floodways in the same manner that has always been done. Primarily, local governments
should continue to require a no-rise certification by a qualified professional (as outlined in this rule No-
rise certifications,while technically challenging in many cases, are entirely possible). The most common
approach to arriving at a no-rise design of a project is the concept of compensatory storage/conveyance
where excavated areas may counteract stockpiled or filled areas. In these situations,engineers can
model conditions to assess "net"floodway impacts.
It is important to note that the floodway to be regulated is the floodway portrayed on the effective
FIRM for the community, unless the community locally decides to regulate a stricter floodway. This
means that even with the more restrictive criteria set forth in this rule, a community may continue to
regulate the already mapped 1' criteria shown on its effective FIRMS until any reaches are restudied and
officially revised by FEMA. As stated earlier,there is no mandate to restudy these reaches, but if any of
the reaches are eventually restudied,they should follow the guidelines set forth above.
Communities are reminded that this rule (and NFIP regulations)only require no-rise certifications for
development within floodway areas. While development in the flood fringe adjacent to floodway areas
may affect base flood elevations for the entire floodplain (including the floodway), increases in water
surface elevation due to activities outside of the floodway are permitted.
6
A number of communities have inquired as to whether previously studied floodway information will be
mandated for regulation,as this was not addressed in the Rules. For example,the Urban Drainage and
Flood Control District(UDFCD) has completed a number of studies that incorporated both 1'surcharge
criteria (to meet FEMA's requirements) and 0.5'criteria (which meets both UDFCD's model ordinance as
well as some local ordinances of member governments). The 0.5'criteria has been used by some local
governments,despite the fact that their official FIRMS portray 1' criteria. However, other governments
that have not been regulating to the 0.5'criteria do not use the 0.5'floodways, even though they have
been studied and delineated. The decision was made that it will be left to each local government to
address this issue at the local level;the CWCB does not mandate previously-studied information that
was not incorporated into the regulatory floodplain that was considered optional at the time of study.
This rule also addresses floodway principles in detailed stream reaches in which floodways have not
been delineated. This has always been addressed in NFIP regulations through 44 CFR Part 60.3(c)(10),
which states:
"(a community shall) require until a regulatory floodway is designated that no new
construction,substantial improvements,or other development(including fill)shall be permitted
within (regulatory floodplains) unless it is demonstrated that the cumulative effect of the
proposed development,when combined with all other existing and anticipated development,
will not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than one foot at any point
within the community."
This federal regulation from the NAP has generally been described as suggesting that in areas with base
flood elevations identified but no delineated floodway-the entire floodplain should be treated as a
floodway until an encroachment analysis can identify which areas would have been considered as
floodway,which should then be regulated accordingly. Communities are typically given more latitude in
this process than with formal floodways. For example, no-rise certifications are not formally required,
but are suggested in certain circumstances. How this is managed at a local level is up to the local
community; however,this federal regulation,which has existed for decades, indicates that the concepts
of the floodway cannot simply be ignored because a floodway is not delineated on the regulatory map.
This rule formally modifies this regulation by substituting the 0.5' criteria,although it does not change
the basic process of this preexisting regulation. The stricter criteria will not be enforced by the State
until the local ordinance is updated to reflect this.
It is important to note that this regulation resides in section (c)of 44 CFR Part 60.3 and addresses stream
reaches with base flood elevations identified. FEMA does not require the above regulatory process in
approximate studies where base flood elevations are not identified. The Rules similarly do not require
that process in stream reaches with approximate studies.
A number of communities have already adopted floodway criteria that is more stringent than the 0.5'
criteria established by this rule. Communities are entitled to regulate to stricter criteria than that set
forth in this rule. However, FEMA has indicated that it will likely continue to strive for consistency on
what is shown on future FIRMS to reduce cross-boundary discontinuities.
A number of industries have requested exemptions to this rule based on their unique circumstances. It
should be noted that the floodway requirements have always been uniformly applied,and this will
continue to remain so,with no exceptions for any specific activities or project proponents. On the other
7
hand,this floodway requirement should not be used as the basis for targeting any specific projects,
land uses,or industries.
Regarding Rule 9."Criteria for Determining the Effects of Flood Control Structures on Regulatory
Floodplains"
There has been some confusion regarding the purpose and intent of this rule. This rule does not address
the legality, maintenance requirements,water rights impacts,and technical requirements for the
existence of a flood control structure(such as a dam or detention pond). This rule only addresses
whether the flood reduction purposes of the structure can be considered in the floodplain mapping
process. In general,the requirements for the consideration of flood reduction capabilities are
synonymous with FEMA's mapping criteria.
For example, a reservoir may provide incidental flood storage potential for a number of runoff events.
However, if there is not pool storage specifically dedicated to flood control,the effects of the reservoir
are not counted toward reduction of the downstream regulatory floodplain. This is consistent with
FEMA mapping standards. However,this rule just addresses the regulatory flood impacts of the
reservoir and does not address any ancillary issues with the existence of the reservoir itself.
Regarding Rule 10."Criteria for Determining the Effects of Levees on Regulatory Floodplains"
There has been some confusion regarding the purpose and intent of this rule. This rule does not address
the legality, maintenance requirements, and technical requirements for the existence of a levee. This
rule only addresses whether the flood reduction purposes of the levee can be considered in the
floodplain mapping process. In general,the requirements for the consideration of flood reduction
capabilities are synonymous with FEMA's mapping criteria.
For example, a levee may provide incidental flood protection, but has no provision for public
maintenance or is uncertified as being structurally sound. In this case,the effects of the levee are not
counted toward reduction of the regulatory floodplain. This rule just addresses the regulatory flood
impacts of the levee and does not address any ancillary issues with the existence of the levee itself.
As of the date of this document, FEMA policy guidance regarding levees is being developed and the
ultimate directive is unknown. The intent of this rule was to be synonymous with FEMA guidelines at
the time of the rulemaking hearing. While the CWCB still believes this to be the most prudent approach
to dealing with levees,this rule is not intended to be in conflict with FEMA's policies regarding mapping
standards involving levees. As such,this rule will remain consistent with FEMA's approach to mapping
regulatory floodplains affected by levees.
Regarding Rule 11,"Floodplain Management Regulations"
This rule, among other things,establishes a new requirement for the treatment of development on
lands that are removed by FEMA from the regulatory floodplain through a LOMR Based on Fill (LOMR-F).
The intent of this rule is simply to require new and substantially improved structures built on these lands
to maintain a lowest floor one foot above the base flood elevation,consistent with development in
regulatory floodplains.
The purpose of this rule is to mitigate known hazards associated with development in these areas.
Experience has shown statewide that development that occurs in these areas has a higher risk of
flooding than development in non-floodplain areas.
8
This rule does not apply to lands removed from the regulatory floodplain by FEMA through a LOMR,
which although similarly named, is a completely different procedure. It also does not apply to lands
removed from the regulatory floodplain through a Physical Map Revision or a Letter of Map
Amendment.
The local government is responsible for maintaining awareness of which lands within its community
have been affected by a LOMR-F. The CWCB and FEMA can assist with this, if needed.
Regarding Rule 12."Effects of Flood Mitigation Measures and Stream Alteration Activities on
Regulatory Floodplains"
This rule, among other things,clarifies a requirement established in 2005 that makes a State
requirement for a LOMR to be applied for and issued for any development that increases or decreases
the regulatory base flood elevation by more than 0.3 feet. The intent of this requirement is to create a
compromise for mapping changes for activities deemed to create a significant change. Any change less
than 0.3 feet to the base flood elevation is not considered to be significant by the State, and a mapping
change will not be enforced.
Although it is not a State concern,communities are reminded of their responsibilities to FEMA through
the NFIP, as outlined in 44 CFR Part 65.3,which states:
"A community's base flood elevations may increase or decrease resulting from physical changes
affecting flooding conditions. As soon as practicable, but not later than six months after the
date such information becomes available, a community shall notify(FEMA)of the changes..."
This rule does not address responsibilities to FEMA,which is considered to be a local matter.
Communities are encouraged to coordinate with FEMA regarding the possible need for floodplain map
revisions for impacts from development that are less than 0.3 feet,especially in instances where there
are multiple studies in the same general reach that may impact each other.
Regarding Rule 15."Variances"
The consideration and issuance of variances has always been viewed as a local issue. The CWCB is not
involved in the variance process unless specifically requested by a local jurisdiction. Communities
continue to be cautioned that the excessive issuance of variances,or variances issued for insufficient
factors,can be grounds for enforcement action and may also place the community's status in the NFIP in
jeopardy.
Regarding Rule 16."Enforcement of Floodplain Rules and Regulations"
The existence of more restrictive standards is outlined in NFIP regulations in 44 CFR Part 60.1,which
states,
"...any flood plain management regulations adopted by a State or a community which are more
restrictive than the criteria set forth in (NFIP minimum regulations) are encouraged and shall
take precedence."
While the State has established its own enforcement procedure as outlined in this rule,communities are
cautioned that their standing in the NFIP could be placed in jeopardy by violation of the Rules,which
take precedence over minimum NFIP standards. However,the CWCB will not provide enforcement for
locally adopted higher standards in excess of these state rules. Enforcement of such higher standards is
considered to be a local issue and any complaints of violations will be referred to local jurisdictions.
9
Regarding Rule 20. "Effective Date"
The effective date for the Rules is January 14, 2011. The Rules are retroactive in nature.
Notwithstanding the previous discussion regarding Rule 8, a three year grace period has been provided
for local governments to update their ordinances to comply with the Rules.
The CWCB will undertake a comprehensive public outreach effort to assist communities with ordinance
updates, including the development of a model ordinance. Communities and interested parties are
encouraged to contact the CWCB for technical assistance at any time. Communities should consider
anticipated timeframes of their local legal processes in order to have an updated ordinance by January
14, 2014. The Rules do not have a provision for time extensions on these processes.
In an effort to accommodate development plans that existed prior to the effective date of the Rules,
two exceptions have been established to allow(but not mandate) local communities to continue with
development proposals that may be inconsistent with the Rules, but would have met previous
floodplain standards. These exceptions include:
- Issuance of a floodplain development permit by the local government prior to the date of
ordinance update;or
- Issuance of a Conditional LOMR (CLOMR) by FEMA prior to the date of ordinance update.
Project proponents are reminded that a CLOMR is not the same as a floodplain development permit,
and all permitting procedures established by the local government must be adhered to. It is at the
discretion of the local government as to whether it will permit a non-conforming project having a valid
CLOM R.

TOWN OF FRASER
ORDINANCE NO. 405
Series 2013
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 18, ARTICLE 4 OF THE MUNICIPALCODE OF THE
TOWN OF FRASER BY THE ADOPTION OF REVISED REGULATIONS FOR THE
PREVENTION OF FLOOD DAMAGE WITHIN THE TOWN OF FRASER; AND PROVIDING
PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE PROVISIONS THEREOF.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes, Title 31, Article 23, Parts 2 and 3,
the Legislature of the State of Colorado has delegated the responsibility to local governmental
units to adopt regulations designed to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of
its citizenry; and
WHEREAS, flood hazard areas of the Town of Fraser, are subject to periodic inundation
which results in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and
governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and
impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general
welfare; and
WHEREAS, these flood losses are created by the cumulative effect of obstructions in
floodplains which cause an increase in flood heights and velocities, and by the occupancy of
flood hazards areas by uses vulnerable to floods and hazardous to other lands because they
are inadequately elevated, floodproofed or otherwise protected from flood damage.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF
FRASER, COLORADO, THAT:
PART 1: AMENDMENT OF MUNICIPAL CODE. Chapter 18 of the Code of the Town of Fraser,
Colorado (herein sometimes referred to as the "Municipal Code") is hereby amended as follows:

FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION REGULATIONS
Sec. 18-4-10. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
- 1 -
(a) It is the purpose of this Article to promote the public health, safety and general welfare
and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions
designed to:
(1) Protect human life and health;
(2) Minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects;
(3) Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally
undertaken at the expense of the general public;
(4) Minimize prolonged business interruptions;
(5) Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains,
electric, telephone and sewer lines, streets and bridges located in floodplains;
(6) Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of
flood-prone areas in such a manner as to minimize future flood blight areas; and
(7) Insure that potential buyers are notified that property is in a flood area.
Sec. 18-4-20. METHODS OF REDUCING FLOOD LOSSES
(a) In order to accomplish its purposes, this Article uses the following methods:
(1) Restrict or prohibit uses that are dangerous to health, safety or property in times of

LEVEE - means a man-made structure, usually an earthen embankment, designed and
constructed in accordance with sound engineering practices to contain, control, or divert the
flow of water so as to provide protection from temporary flooding.
LEVEE SYSTEM - means a flood protection system which consists of a levee, or levees, and
associated structures, such as closure and drainage devices, which are constructed and
operated in accordance with sound engineering practices.
LOWEST FLOOR- means the lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area (including basement).
An unfinished or flood resistant enclosure, usable solely for parking or vehicles, building access
or storage in an area other than a basement area is not considered a building's lowest floor;
provided that such enclosure is not built so as to render the structure in violation of the
applicable non-elevation design requirement of Section 60.3 of the National Flood Insurance
Program regulations.
MANUFACTURED HOME - means a structure transportable in one or more sections, which is
built on a permanent chassis and is designed for use with or without a permanent foundation
-6 -
when connected to the required utilities. The term "manufactured home" does not include a

of land divided into two or more manufactured home lots for rent or sale.
MEAN SEA LEVEL - means, for purposes of the National Flood Insurance Program, the
National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) of 1929 or other datum, to which base flood
elevations shown on a community's Flood Insurance Rate Map are referenced.
NEW CONSTRUCTION - means, for the purpose of determining insurance rates, structures for
which the "start of construction" commenced on or after the effective date of an initial FIRM or
after December 31, 1974, whichever is later, and includes any subsequent improvements to
such structures. For floodplain management purposes, "new construction" means structures for
which the "start of construction" commenced on or after the effective date of a floodplain
management regulation adopted by a community and includes any subsequent improvements
to such structures.
NEW MANUFACTURED HOME PARK OR SUBDIVISION - means a manufactured home park
or subdivision for which the construction of facilities for servicing the lots on which the

START OF CONSTRUCTION - (for other than new construction or substantial improvements
under the Coastal Barrier Resources Act(Pub. L. 97-348)), includes substantial improvement
and means the date the building permit was issued, provided the actual start of construction,
repair, reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, placement, or other improvement was within 180
days of the permit date. The actual start means either the first placement of permanent
-7 -
construction of a structure on a site, such as the pouring of slab or footings, the installation of
piles, the construction of columns, or any work beyond the stage of excavation; or the
placement of a manufactured home on a foundation. Permanent construction does not include
land preparation, such as clearing, grading and filling; nor does it include the installation of
streets and/or walkways; nor does it include excavation for basement, footings, piers or
foundations or the erection of temporary forms; nor does it include the installation on the
property of accessory buildings, such as garages or sheds not occupied as dwelling units or not
part of the main structure. For a substantial improvement, the actual start of construction
means the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor, or other structural part of a building, whether
or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the building.
STRUCTURE - means a walled and roofed building, including a gas or liquid storage tank, that
is principally above ground, as well as a manufactured home.
SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE - means damage of any origin sustained by a structure whereby the
cost of restoring the structure to its before damaged condition would equal or exceed 50 percent
of the market value of the structure before the damage occurred.
SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT - means any reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, or other
improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value
of the structure before "start of construction" of the improvement. This includes structures which
have incurred "substantial damage", regardless of the actual repair work performed. The term
does not, however, include either:
1. Any project for improvement of a structure to correct existing violations of state or local
health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which have been identified by the local
code enforcement official and which are the minimum necessary conditions or
2. Any alteration of a "historic structure", provided that the alteration will not preclude the
structure's continued designation as a "historic structure."
VARIANCE - is a grant of relief to a person from the requirement of this ordinance when specific
enforcement would result in unnecessary hardship. A variance, therefore, permits construction
or development in a manner otherwise prohibited by this ordinance. (For full requirements see
Section 60.6 of the National Flood Insurance Program regulations.)
VIOLATION - means the failure of a structure or other development to be fully compliant with
the community's floodplain management regulations. A structure or other development without
the elevation certificate, other certifications, or other evidence of compliance required in Section
60.3(b)(5), (c)(4), (c)(10), (d)(3), (e)(2), (e)(4), or(e)(5) is presumed to be in violation until such
time as that documentation is provided.
- 8 -
WATER SURFACE ELEVATION - means the height, in relation to the National Geodetic
Vertical Datum (NGVD) of 1929 (or other datum, where specified), of floods of various
magnitudes and frequencies in the floodplains of coastal or riverine areas.

been obtained from those Federal, State or local governmental agencies (including Section
404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, 33 U.S.C. 1334)from
which prior approval is required.
(5) Where interpretation is needed as to the exact location of the boundaries of the
areas of special flood hazards (for example, where there appears to be a conflict between a
mapped boundary and actual field conditions)the Floodplain Administrator shall make the
necessary interpretation.

Agency which is Colorado Water Conservation Board, prior to any alteration or relocation of
a watercourse, and submit evidence of such notification to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency.
(7) Assure that the flood carrying capacity within the altered or relocated portion of any
watercourse is maintained.
- 10 -
(8) When base flood elevation data has not been provided in accordance with Section
18-4-40(b), the Floodplain Administrator shall obtain, review and reasonably utilize any base
flood elevation data and floodway data available from a Federal, State or other source, in
order to administer the provisions of Sections 18-4-70 to 18-4-110.
(9) When a regulatory floodway has not been designated, the Floodplain Administrator
must require that no new construction, substantial improvements, or other development
(including fill) shall be permitted within Zones Al-30 and AE on the community's FIRM,
unless it is demonstrated that the cumulative effect of the proposed development, when
combined with all other existing and anticipated development, will not increase the water
surface elevation of the base flood more than one-,half foot at any point within the
community.
(10) Under the provisions of 44 CFR Chapter 1, Section 65.12, of the National Flood
Insurance Program regulations, a community may approve certain development in Zones
Al-30, AE, AH, on the community's FIRM which increases the water surface elevation of the
base flood by more than one-ha-M f foot, provided that the community first applies for a
conditional FIRM revision through FEMA (Conditional Letter of Map Revision).
(c) Permit Procedures.
(1) Application for a Development Permit shall be presented to the Floodplain
Administrator on forms furnished by him/her and may include, but not be limited to, plans in
duplicate drawn to scale showing the location, dimensions, and elevation of proposed
landscape alterations, existing and proposed structures, including the placement of
manufactured homes, and the location of the foregoing in relation to areas of special flood
hazard. Additionally, the following information is required:
(i) Elevation (in relation to mean sea level), of the lowest floor(including
basement) of all new and substantially improved structures;
(ii) Elevation in relation to mean sea level to which any nonresidential
structure shall be floodproofed;
(iii) A certificate from a registered professional engineer or architect that the
nonresidential floodproofed structure shall meet the floodproofing criteria of Section 18-
4-80(b);
(iv) Description of the extent to which any watercourse or natural drainage will be
altered or relocated as a result of proposed development.
- 11 -
(v) Maintain a record of all such information in accordance with Section 18-4-50 (b)
(1).
(2) Approval or denial of a Development Permit by the Floodplain Administrator shall be
based on all of the provisions of this ordinance and the following relevant factors:
(i) The danger to life and property due to flooding or erosion damage;
(ii) The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and
the effect of such damage on the individual owner;
(iii) The danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others;
(iv) The compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated
development;
(v) The safety of access to the property in times of flood for ordinary and
emergency vehicles;
(vi) The costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions
including maintenance and repair of streets and bridges, and public utilities and facilities
such as sewer, gas, electrical and water systems;
(vii) The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise and sediment transport of
the flood waters and the effects of wave action, if applicable, expected at the site;
(viii) The necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable;
(ix) The availability of alternative locations, not subject to flooding or erosion
damage, for the proposed use;
(x) The relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan for that area.
Sec. 18-4-60. VARIANCE PROCEDURES
(a) The Board of Adjustment as established by the Town of Fraser shall hear and render
judgement on requests for variances from the requirements of this Article.
(b) The Board of Adjustment shall hear and render judgement on an appeal only when it is
alleged there is an error in any requirement, decision, or determination made by the Floodplain
Administrator in the enforcement or administration of this Article.
- 12 -
(c) Any person or persons aggrieved by the decision of the Board of Adjustment may
appeal such decision in the courts of competent jurisdiction.
(d) The Floodplain Administrator shall maintain a record of all actions involving an appeal
and shall report variances to the Federal Emergency Management Agency upon request.
(e) Variances may be issued for the reconstruction, rehabilitation or restoration of
structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places or the State Inventory of Historic
Places, without regard to the procedures set forth in the remainder of this Article.
(f) Variances may be issued for new construction and substantial improvements to be
erected on a lot of one-half acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with
existing structures constructed below the base flood level, providing the relevant factors in
Section 18-4-50 (c) (2) of this Article have been fully considered. As the lot size increases
beyond the one-half acre, the technical justification required for issuing the variance increases.
(g) Upon consideration of the factors noted above and the intent of this Article, the Board of
Adjustment may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to
further the purpose and objectives of this Article.
(h) Variances shall not be issued within any designated floodway if any increase in flood
levels during the base flood discharge would result.
(i) Variances may be issued for the repair or rehabilitation of historic structures upon a
determination that the proposed repair or rehabilitation will not preclude the structure's
continued designation as a historic structure and the variance is the minimum necessary to
preserve the historic character and design of the structure.
(j) Prerequisites for granting variances:
(1) Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the
minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief.
(2) Variances shall only be issued upon:
(i) showing a good and sufficient cause;
(ii) a determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional
hardship to the applicant, and
- 13 -
(iii) a determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood
heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create
nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of the public, or conflict with existing local
laws or ordinances.
(3) Any application to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice that the
structure will be permitted to be built with the lowest floor elevation below the base flood
elevation, and that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with the increased risk
resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation.
(k) Variances may be issued by a community for new construction and substantial
improvements and for other development necessary for the conduct of a functionally dependent
use provided that:
(1) the criteria outlined in Section 18-4-60 (a)-(i) are met, and
(2) the structure or other development is protected by methods that minimize flood
damages during the base flood and create no additional threats to public safety.
Sec. 18-4-70. PROVISIONS FOR FLOOD HAZARD REDUCTION/GENERAL STANDARDS
(a) In all areas of special flood hazards the following provisions are required for all new
construction and substantial improvements:
(1) All new construction or substantial improvements shall be designed (or modified)
and adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure
resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy;
(2) All new construction or substantial improvements shall be constructed by methods
and practices that minimize flood damage;
(3) All new construction or substantial improvements shall be constructed with materials
resistant to flood damage;
(4) All new construction or substantial improvements shall be constructed with electrical,
heating, ventilation, plumbing, and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities that
are designed and/or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the
components during conditions of flooding.
(5) All new and replacement water supply systems shall be designed to minimize or
eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system;
- 14-
(6) New and replacement sanitary sewage systems shall be designed to minimize or
eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system and discharge from the systems into
flood waters; and,
(7) On-site waste disposal systems shall be located to avoid impairment to them or
contamination from them during flooding.
(b) When a regulatory floodway has not been designated, the Floodplain Administrator
must require that no new construction, substantial improvements, or other development
(including fill) shall be permitted within Zones Al-30 and AE on the community's FIRM, unless it
is demonstrated that the cumulative effect of the proposed development, when combined with
all other existing and anticipated development, will not increase the water surface elevation of
the base flood more than one-half foot at any point within the community; and,
(c) Under the provisions of 44 CFR Chapter 1, Section 65.12, of the National Flood
Insurance Program regulations, a community may approve certain development in Zones A1-
30, AE, AH, on the community's FIRM which increases the water surface elevation of the base
flood by more than one-Ih. if foot, provided that the community first applies for a conditional
FIRM revision through FEMA (Conditional Letter of Map Revision).
Sec. 18-4-80. PROVISIONS FOR FLOOD HAZARD REDUCTION/SPECIFIC STANDARDS
In all areas of special flood hazards where base flood elevation data has been provided as
set forth in (i) Section 18-4-40 (b), (ii) Section 18-4-50 (b) (8), or(iii) Section 18-4-90 (c), the
following provisions are required:
(a) Residential Construction - new construction and substantial improvement of any
(including ) o one foot of
residential structure shall have the lowest floor mcludin basement), to P „ „ ......
rveyor
shall submit a certification to the Floodplain Administrator that the standard of this subsection as
proposed in Section 18-4-50(c)(1), is satisfied.
(b) Nonresidential Construction - new construction and substantial improvements of any
commercial, industrial or other nonresidential structure shall either have the lowest floor
(including basement) elevated to or--one foot above the base flood level or together with
attendant utility and sanitary facilities, be designed so that below one-root above the base flood
level the structure is watertight with walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water and
with structural components having the capability of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic
loads and effects of buoyancy. A registered professional engineer or architect shall develop
and/or review structural design, specifications, and plans for the construction, and shall certify
- 15 -
that the design and methods of construction are in accordance with accepted standards of
practice as outlined in this subsection. A record of such certification which includes the specific
elevation (in relation to mean sea level) to which such structures are floodproofed shall be
maintained by the Floodplain Administrator.
(c) Enclosures - new construction and substantial improvements, with fully enclosed areas
below the lowest floor that are usable solely for parking of vehicles, building access or storage
in an area other than a basement and which are subject to flooding shall be designed to
automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls by allowing for the entry and exit
of floodwaters. Designs for meeting this requirement must either be certified by a registered
professional engineer or architect or meet or exceed the following minimum criteria:

for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding shall be provided.
(2) The bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above grade.
(3) Openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, valves, or other coverings or
devices provided that they permit the automatic entry and exit of floodwaters.
(d) Manufactured Homes —
(1) Require that all manufactured homes to be placed within Zone A on a community's
FHBM or FIRM shall be installed using methods and practices which minimize flood
damage. For the purposes of this requirement, manufactured homes must be elevated and
anchored to resist flotation, collapse, or lateral movement. Methods of anchoring may
include, but are not limited to, use of over-the-top or frame ties to ground anchors. This
requirement is in addition to applicable State and local anchoring requirements for resisting
wind forces.
(2) Require that manufactured homes that are placed or substantially improved within
Zones Al-30, AH, and AE on the community's FIRM on sites (i) outside of a manufactured
home park or subdivision, (ii) in a new manufactured home park or subdivision, (iii) in an
expansion to an existing manufactured home park or subdivision, or(iv) in an existing
manufactured home park or subdivision on which a manufactured home has incurred
"substantial damage" as a result of a flood, be elevated on a permanent foundation such
that the lowest floor of the manufactured home is elevated to of one foot, above the base
flood elevation and be securely anchored to an adequately anchored foundation system to
resist flotation, collapse, and lateral movement.
- 16 -
(3) Require that manufactured homes be placed or substantially improved on sites in an
existing manufactured home park or subdivision with Zones Al-30, AH and AE on the
community's FIRM that are not subject to the provisions of paragraph (4) of this section be

(2) be fully licensed and ready for highway use, or
(3) meet the permit requirements of Section 18-4-50(c)(1), and the elevation and
anchoring requirements for "manufactured homes” in paragraph (4) of this section. A
recreational vehicle is ready for highway use if it is on its wheels or jacking system, is
attached to the site only by quick disconnect type utilities and security devices, and has no
permanently attached additions.
(f) Below-Grade Residential Crawlspace Construction - New construction and substantial
improvement of any below-grade crawlspace shall:
(1) Have the interior grade elevation that is below base flood elevation no lower than two
feet below the lowest adjacent grade;
(2) Have the height of the below-grade crawlspace measured from the interior grade of the
crawlspace to the top of the foundation wall, not exceed four feet at any point;
(3) Have an adequate drainage system that allows floodwaters to drain from the interior
area of the crawlspace following a flood;
(4) Be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure and be
capable of resisting the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads;
(5) Be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage;
- 17 -
(6) Be constructed using methods and practices that minimize flood damage;
(7) Be constructed with electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, and air conditioning
equipment and other service facilities that are designed and/or located so as to prevent water
from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding;
(8) Be designed to automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls by
allowing for the entry and exit of floodwaters. Designs for meeting this requirement must either
be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect or must meet or exceed the
following minimum criteria:
(i) A minimum of two openings having a total net area of not less than one square inch
for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding shall be provided;
(ii) The bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above grade;
(iii) Openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, or other coverings or devices
provided that they permit the automatic entry and exit of floodwaters.
Sec. 18-4-90. PROVISIONS FOR FLOOD HAZARD REDUCTION/STANDARDS FOR
SUBDIVISION PROPOSALS
(a) All subdivision proposals including the placement of manufactured home parks and
subdivisions shall be consistent with Sections 18-4-10 and 18-4-20 of this Article.
(b) All proposals for the development of subdivisions including the placement of
manufactured home parks and subdivisions shall meet Development Permit requirements of
Section 18-4-40 (c); Section 18-4-50 (c) and the provisions of Sections 18-4-70 to 18-4-110 of
this Article.
(c) Base flood elevation data shall be generated for subdivision proposals and other
proposed development including the placement of manufactured home parks and subdivisions
which is greater than 50 lots or 5 acres, whichever is lesser, if not otherwise provided pursuant
to Section 18-4-40 (b)or Section 18-4-50 (b) (8) this Article.

Sec. 18-4-100. PROVISIONS FOR FLOOD HAZARD REDUCTION/STANDARDS FOR
AREAS OF SHALLOW FLOODING (AO/AH ZONES)
Located within the areas of special flood hazard established in Section 18-4-40 (b), are areas
designated as shallow flooding. These areas have special flood hazards associated with base
flood depths of 1 to 3 feet where a clearly defined channel does not exist and where the path of
flooding is unpredictable and where velocity flow may be evident. Such flooding is
characterized by ponding or sheet flow; therefore, the following provisions apply:
(a) All new construction and substantial improvements of residential structures have the
lowest floor(including basement) elevated one foot above the highest adjacent grade at least
acam ne foot above the depth number specified in feet on the community's FIRM (at
least three feet if no depth number is specified).
(b) All new construction and substantial improvements of non-residential structures:
(1) have the lowest floor(including basement) elevated above the highest adjacent
g as foot above the depth number specified in feet on the
grade least q ,-,,-. ................... -
community's FIRM (at leastt.hr.22 MG feet if no depth number is specified), or;
(2) together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities be designed so that below 211101111211
foot above the base flood level the structure is watertight with walls substantially
..................m„......,........................ .
impermeable to the passage of water and with structural components having the capability
of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads of effects of buoyancy.
(c) A registered professional engineer or architect shall submit a certification to the
Floodplain Administrator that the standards of this Section, as proposed in Section 18-4-50 (c)
(1) are satisfied.
(d) Require within Zones AH or AO adequate drainage paths around structures on slopes,
to guide flood waters around and away from proposed structures.
Sec. 18-4-110. PROVISIONS FOR FLOOD HAZARD REDUCTION /FLOODAYS
Floodways - located within areas of special flood hazard established in Section 18-4-40 (b) are
areas designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the
velocity of flood waters which carry debris, potential projectiles and erosion potential, the
following provisions shall apply:
(a) Encroachments are prohibited, including fill, new construction, substantial
improvements and other development within the adopted regulatory floodway unless it has been
- 19 -
demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed in accordance with
standard engineering practice that the proposed encroachment would not result in any increase
in flood levels within the community during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.
(b) If Section 18-4-110 (1) above is satisfied, all new construction and substantial
improvements shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of Sections 18-
4-70 to 18-4-110.
(c) Under the provisions of 44 CFR Chapter 1, Section 65.12, of the National Flood
Insurance Regulations, a community may permit encroachments within the adopted regulatory
floodway that would result in an increase in base flood elevations, provided that the community
first applies for a conditional FIRM and floodway revision through FEMA.

C OIL OR AD
Planner Floodplain Memo for TB April 17th, 2013
OO July 6' 2012. Congress reauthorized the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
Along with that reauthorization came many changes that are slowly being 'implemented
bv the NF|Fzin accordance with the new legislation. Fraser participates in the NF|Pand
as such we must adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations that meet or
exceed the minimum hJF|P standards and requirements. Boaic8||y' these regulations
provide the legal framework for communities to exercise their floodplain management
responsibilities. Communities are also required 0o enforce more restrictive State
requirements if they exist. The State of Colorado adopted higher standards for
floodplain management, which are outlined in the Rules and Regulations for Regulatory
F|oodp|8insiD Colorado (RU|8G) effective January 14. 2O11. These Rules are now the
effective minimum floodplain standards for the State of Colorado and communities have
three years from January 14. 2011 to adopt |oCe| regulations consistent with the Rules.
We have contacted Jamie Prochno who is the Community Assistance Program
Coordinator in the Watershed and Flood Protection Section with the Colorado Water
Conservation Board (CVVCB). Jamie works with local governments in reducing flood
damages and protecting the natural functions off|modp|ains across Colorado. She has
reviewed our current regulations for the prevention of flood damage within the Town of
Fraser. Fraser needs to update our floodplain regulations by January 14, 2014 in order
to continue to participate in the NF|P.
For your information, floodplain regulations in general do not affect existing buildings
unless they are substantially improved, which means that the value of the improvements
exceeds 5D96nf the market value.
Attached tothis memo is an email and letter from the C%WCBeup|aining in more detail
why communities need to update their floodplain regulations by January 14, 2014.
For additional information, included in the packet is a technical guidance document
detailing the Flu|ea and Regulations for Regulatory F|oodp|aine in Colorado.
Included in the packet are proposed changes to our floodplain regulations. Jamie
Prochno will be present at our pre-meeting workshop to explain the new regulations and
the NF|P.
Please contact nne with questions and/or comments. . Thanks.

Good afternoon,
As you are probably aware, the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) has new Rules and
Regulations(Rules) that will likely require most communities to update their floodplain regulations by
January 14, 2014. A three-year transition period has been provided and we are now in the final year.
To ensure that all communities are aware of the upcoming changes, the CWCB Board has instructed me to
send a letter to Chief Elected Officials of communities that have not yet adopted regulations consistent
with the Rules. That letter is attached for your information and hard copies will start going out today. If
your community has adopted compliant regulations and sent them to me, your CEO should not receive a
letter.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like help in updating your community's floodplain
regulations.
Thank you,

Jennifer L.Gimbel
Dear Chief Elected Official, CWCB Director
The Colorado Water Conservation Board(CWCB)would like for you to be aware of some very important
information related to your community's floodplain ordinance and related National Flood Insurance
Program(NFIP)issues. In late 2010,the Colorado Water Conservation Board(CWCB)adopted revised
Rules and Regulations for Floodplains in Colorado(Rules),effective January 14,2011. The Rules
provide higher floodplain management standards that will help your community to reduce the risks to
people and property caused by flooding. A three-year transition period was provided and all Colorado
communities have until January 14,2014 to adopt floodplain regulations consistent with the Rules.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA) is already aware of this requirement and will work
closely with the CWCB on this matter as appropriate. It is essential for you to know that a community's
failure to adopt updated floodplain regulations consistent with the Rules,as well as any updates necessary
to bring local regulations into compliance with minimum National Flood Insurance Program(NFIP)
criteria,will lead to serious sanctions. I assure you that CWCB staff is eager to assist your community as
needed to help with compliance questions and a smooth adoption process. There is no cost to you for
technical assistance.
For clarification purposes, and depending on your community's current floodplain regulations and status
in the NFIP,non-compliance with the Rules may result in either NFIP suspension or probation and a
reclassification under the Community Rating System(CRS) if applicable. Availability of certain CWCB
flood and watershed grant funding would be at risk as well.
In the interest of framing the issue and providing enough detail for your consideration and decision
making purposes,some specific examples might be helpful. If a community is placed on NFIP probation,
a$50 surcharge would be placed on flood insurance policies. The community would then need to correct
the identified deficiencies, including adopting the Rules,or be subject to NFIP suspension. In addition,a
community participating in the CRS,which provides flood insurance premium discounts for communities
exceeding the NFIP minimum standards,would lose any discounts. If a community is suspended from the
NFIP, federally-backed flood insurance policies would no longer be available and existing policies will
lapse at renewal.Federally-backed loans,grants and other financial assistance for activities within the
floodplain would not be available. If a Presidential Disaster Declaration caused by flooding is made,
property owners would be ineligible for most forms of disaster assistance.
Interstate Compact Compliance•Watershed Protection•Flood Planning&Mitigation•Stream&Lake Protection
Water Project Loans&Grants•Water Modeling•Conservation&Drought Planning•Water Supply Planning
In order for your community to remain in good standing in the NFIP and eligible for certain grant funding
through the CWCB,the Rules should be enacted in a legally enforceable document by January 14,2014.
If your community already has updated floodplain regulations,then it would be greatly appreciated if you
would send me a copy of the adopted regulations for review.Again,feel free to contact me anytime by
phone or email if you have questions or if your staff would like assistance in updating floodplain
management regulations.
Sincerely,

The following is an outline of expenditures related to our sanitary sewer collection system
maintenance program based on the 2013 budget appropriation of$60,000 for repair and
maintenance items and $135,000 for capital improvement projects. With over 96,000 lineal feet
(LF) or approximately 18.2 miles of sanitary sewer pipe ranging in size from 6 inch to 24 inch, it
is necessary to maintain this infrastructure through video documentation and jetter (high
pressure water) cleaning. Not all lines are cleaned if the video shows there is not a need.
This maintenance program is structured to allow the entire collection system to be inspected
over a seven year period, for a total of 7 separate service areas. This is an aggressive schedule
but it is necessary to take this approach in order to educate ourselves on the condition of the
pipes in the ground in an effort to identify and budget accordingly for any needed repairs.
2013 will provide video inspection and potential line cleaning (jetting) maintenance on
approximately 19,100 LF of 8-inch sewer pipe in the Rendezvous subdivision, specifically the
`East Mountain South (EMS) Service Area' to include Filings 2, 3, 4, and 7. Much of this
infrastructure was installed in the early to mid 2000's.
Some history:
In 2011 the Sewer Maintenance & Inspection program was initiated in the Ptarmigan area
including Fox Run and Wapiti Meadows. Approximately 7,700 LF of Town owned sewer lines
were cleaned and video documented. From these video inspections two areas were identified
that needed to be repaired, Ermine Lane and Ferret Lane, where an 8 inch main was obstructed
due to a section of ductile iron pipe (DIP) having settled over time and created an off-set at both
ends of the joints. The inspection/cleaning crews were not able to pass their camera or jetter
nozzle through these failures. DIP was installed in these two areas where a water line crossing
was necessary per town standards at that time. These areas were repaired in June of 2012
using C-900 PVC pipe and gasketed joint couplings and included patching the asphalt roadway
at a cost of approximately $7,700.
The 2012 maintenance program completed the balance of the lines in the original service areas

program. Those lines were inspected,jetted and video documented pre and post construction of
the CIPP project. Other service areas that were maintained in 2012 included Cozens Pointe,
Cozens Meadow and The Willows. This project consisted of approximately 12,000 LF of pipe
sizes ranging from 8-inch to 12 inch.
Since the Town does not own line cleaning and video equipment such as a vac/jetter truck for
the cleaning or a closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera truck for the video documentation, it is
necessary to contract out this work. As we have established a very positive working relationship
with Anderson Services out of Golden it is anticipated that we will contract with them for this
work again this year. They have not had a price increase in over 4 years.
The work is anticipated to begin during the last week of June and should take approximately two
weeks to complete.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2013-04-03 authorizing expenditures for the 2013
Sewer System Inspection & Cleaning Contract in the amount Not-To-Exceed $25,000.
Please contact me in advance of the meeting to discuss any questions you may have.

SEWER LINE SHARING AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into effective 2013, by and
between WINTER PARK RANCH WATER AND SANITATION DISTRICT, a Colorado
special district (hereinafter referred to as WPRWSD), and the TOWN OF FRASER,
COLORADO (hereinafter "Fraser");
RECITALS
A. WPRWSD and Fraser are both engaged in the provision of sanitary sewer services within
their respective jurisdictions.
B. WPRWSD and Fraser are parties to the Upper Fraser Valley Wastewater Treatment
Agreement ("Joint Facilities Agreement"), executed in 2001 and as subsequently assigned
and amended, whereby they and the Grand County Water and Sanitation District 41 jointly
own and operate a sewage treatment plant and certain sewage interceptor lines used to
transport sewage to the treatment facility.
C. For many years, WPRWSD and Fraser have shared the use of other sewer mains not covered
in the Joint Facilities Agreement to convey sewage to the sewage treatment plant.
D. WPRWSD and Fraser now desire to confirm their understanding and agreement regarding
the shared use of those sewer mains and arrangements for the maintenance, repair and
replacement of such mains, as in this Agreement provided.
E. WPRWSD and Fraser have both commissioned a study because the Red Line is nearing
capacity and must either be replaced or have the usage thereof reduced. A copy of that study
is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The parties have agreed to implement Option 5 referred to in
said study, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual commitments,
covenants and agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and adequacy which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Definition. When used herein, the term "EQR" (equivalent residential usage unit) shall have
the same meaning as defined in the Joint Facilities Agreement.
2. Shared Lines. The sewer mains currently shared by WPRWSD and Fraser, which are not
covered by the Joint Facilities Agreement, are depicted on Exhibit A at page E3 attached
hereto and are referred to herein as the "Green Line", "Red Line" and "Yellow Line",
corresponding with the colors of the lines shown on said Exhibit. For purposes of this
Agreement, said Green, Red and Yellow Lines are deemed to be owned by WPRWSD,
notwithstanding the fact that both parties have contributed to the construction and
maintenance of some of those lines in the past. Pursuant to Option 5, the existing sewer main
located in Quail Drive, which is owned by Fraser, will be connected to WPRWSD's main and
a portion will become a shared line (the "Quail Line"), as depicted on Exhibit A at page E3.
Said Green, Red, Yellow, and Quail Lines are collectively referred to as the "Shared Lines".
The number of WPRWSD and Fraser EQR's currently connected to each Shared Line, and
the anticipated total number of EQR's that will be connected when all adjacent properties are
developed("Build Out") are shown on Exhibit C, and are tabulated(as to each party's
percentage of responsibility for maintenance and construction of each line) on Exhibit B
attached hereto. The "Percentage Use at Build Out" column of Exhibit B represents each
party's share of the use of each respective Shared Line at build out and also represents each
party's share of the costs for maintenance and repairs, as more fully provided below. If,
subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, there is more than a One Percent(1%) change
in the shared use of any Shared Line due to a change in the anticipated number of EQR's to
be connected at build out, the percentage of the shared cost shall be adjusted accordingly.
3. Ownership and Cost Sharing.
A. For purposes of this Agreement, each party shall be deemed to have a proportionate use
interest in each Shared Line corresponding with that party's Percentage Use at Build Out as
shown on Exhibit B. Similarly, each party shall be responsible for payment of a share of the
costs of maintenance, repair, and replacement of each Shared Line in accordance with the
party's Percentage Use at Build Out, in accordance with the procedures provided herein
below. Shared costs shall include amounts paid for labor and materials used for the
maintenance, repair or replacement of the Shared Lines. If any such work is performed by
employees of either party, that employees' work may be included as a shared cost. Each party
shall bill the other party on a monthly basis for that party's share of costs for the preceding
month or months. Invoices shall be paid within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice.
Each invoice shall include reasonable detail with regard to expenditures.
B. The new manhole and the connector line from the WPRWSD main to the Quail Line, as
contemplated in Option 5, shall be owned by WPRWSD. As provided in section 5, the cost of
installing Option 5, including the new manhole and connector line, shall be borne one-half by
WPRWSD, and one-half by Fraser. The new manhole and connector line shall be maintained
by WPRWSD at its sole expense.
4. Routine Operations. The owner of each Shared Line, shall have the sole responsibility for
overseeing the operation, maintenance and repair of such lines and the right to make
decisions with regard to those lines; provided, however, that no action shall be taken by the
owner that would interrupt or interfere with the other party's shared use without written
notification to the other party a minimum of seven (7)business days in advance of the routine
operation action to be taken. Each party is authorized to incur costs not to exceed $10,000
per calendar year, or such greater amount as may be budgeted pursuant to Section 7 hereof,
for routine maintenance and repairs and for emergency repairs relating to the Shared Lines.
- 2 -
Lines. Emergency repairs exceeding $10,000 may be authorized by Fraser's manager or
WPRWSD's manager subject to appropriation and/or approval by each party's respective
board.
5. Major Repairs or Replacements. It is anticipated that the existing Green and Yellow Lines
have sufficient reserve capacity to accommodate the estimated EQR's of both parties at build
out and such Lines are in a condition that should not require any major repairs or
replacements within the foreseeable future. The Red Line is currently at or near capacity, has
exceeded its useful life, and will require an upgrade or replacement in the near future to
accommodate additional sewer flows. Option 5 of the Vision Land Consultants Inc.
Memorandum, Exhibit A attached hereto, shall be followed to resolve the capacity issue in
the Red Line. WPRWSD shall be responsible for the final design, bidding and administration
of construction of the Option 5 plan and for acquisition of necessary easements. The design
documents shall be submitted to Fraser for review and comment before implementation. The
costs of implementing Option 5 shall be shared equally (one-half each)by the parties;
provided, however, that such costs shall not exceed $104,000 without the written consent of
both parties.
6. Emergency Repairs. In the event an emergency repair is necessary on any of the sewer
mains that are the subject of this agreement, the non-owning party may conduct emergency
repairs, if unable to contact the owner of the line for one(1)hour or if the owner advises it is
unable to initiate repairs or the non-owner is directed by the owner to make repairs.
7. Cost Reimbursement. Within 30 days after the end of each calendar year, each party shall
provide a written report to the other party with the description and amount of any costs
incurred for maintenance or repair of the Shared Lines during the calendar year then ended.
The parties will reconcile such reports to allocate the costs according to the formula stated
above and determine the amount of any reimbursement due from one party to the other.
Payment for any such reimbursement shall be due within 90 days after the end of the
calendar year for which the costs were reported.
8. Budgeting. No later than September 30 of each year, each party shall confer regarding
expected expenditures during the following calendar year for maintenance, repair and/or
replacement of the Shared Lines. Such personnel shall then report to their respective
governing body regarding the anticipated amount of such expenditures and the allocation
thereof between the parties according to the formula provided herein, for purposes of
consideration of such expenditures in the budgeting processes of the party's governing body.
9. Limitation of Infiltration - Both parties agree to take appropriate steps to limit infiltration
into the Shared Lines in accordance with the standards established pursuant to the Joint
Facilities Agreement.
10. Warranties - All warranties for labor and materials relating to the Shared Lines shall run in
favor of and inure for the benefit the parties in ownership of such Lines as provided herein.
- 3 -
11. Joint Facility Lines. In addition to the Shared Lines, WPRWSD is currently utilizing a
portion of Fraser's reserved capacity in Trunk Line B, as described in the Joint Facilities
Agreement, to service WPRWSD's office facilities at Fraser's Manhole B007 (3.15 EQR).
WPRWSD has and will continue to pay sewer service fees at Fraser's established rate, as
amended from time to time, as compensation for use of said Trunk Line. In addition,
WPRWSD is expected to utilize an additional portion of Fraser's reserved capacity in Trunk
Lines A and B described in the Joint Facilities Agreement to service the Emery Property,
which is within the WPRWSD boundaries and which will be connected at Fraser's Manhole
A010 (estimated at 2.88 EQR),. If such connection is made, WPRWSD shall reimburse
Fraser for 0.24% of the maintenance, repair and replacement costs attributable to Trunk Line
A and 0.05% of the maintenance, repair and replacement costs attributable to Trunk Line B,
corresponding with WPRWSD's proportionate usage of the capacities of said Trunk Lines.
12. Assignment -Neither party shall assign its rights, duties and obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that this
restriction shall not preclude the contracting out of repairs, maintenance or other work
relating to the Shared Lines.
13. Indemnification. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party, its
employees and agents, from and against all claims, damages, liability and awards, arising or
incurred as a result of any act or omission by the indemnifying party or its employees or
agents pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, in case of liability on a
third-party claim relating to a Shared Line where both WPRWSD and Fraser are finally
adjudged to be equally at fault or faultless, the liability shall be shared according to the
formula provided herein for sharing ownership and costs with respect to such Shared Line.
14. Annual Appropriation. Each party's financial obligations under this Agreement shall be
subject to annual appropriation by that party's governing body. In the event that a party fails
to appropriate funds as required by this Agreement or as necessary to fulfill its obligations
hereunder, that party's right to use non-owned Shared Lines shall cease, effective One
Hundred Eighty (18 0) days after notice is given that a payment due hereunder has not been
made, unless such payment is made within such 180-day period.
15. Notices - All notices, requests, demands, consents, and other communications pertaining to
this Agreement shall be transmitted in writing and shall be deemed duly given when received
by the parties at their addresses below or any subsequent addresses provided to the other

Subject: Red Line Analysis Ni44-�
Date: Thursday, October 11, 2012
Project: 2668.G0
The following memorandum is intended to summarize our findings and recommendations for the
current capacity issues associated with the "Red Line," which is a 10" diameter sanitary sewer
main currently conveying flows from the Winter Park 'West Water and Sanitation District
(WPWWSD) and the Town of Fraser Sanitation District (TOFSD). Representatives from each
District have created a preliminary list of four potential options to increase the overall system
capacity. Vision Land Consultants (Vision Land) has been tasked with evaluating this
preliminary list of options, to identify any additional options, to provide an estimated cost for
each option, and to recommend an option for the Districts to pursue.
PROCEDURES
In order to evaluate the potential options, Vision Land gathered data for the relevant existing
sewer mains in order to calculate their existing capacities. We then compared these capacities
with the anticipated design flows to determine potential deficiencies in the system. We also
researched different types of rehabilitation procedures, (i.e. cure-in-place pipe (CIPP), slip luring,
pipe bursting) including the costs and feasibility of each procedure. We utilized this information
along with estimated construction quantities to provide an estimated project cost for each option.
Vision Land analyzed the estimated costs and associated capacity improvements to provide a
recommendation for what we believe to be the most economical option to improve the overall
capacity of the system in this area.
FINDINGS
Please reference Figure El (attached in Appendix A) which: depicts aerial reap with existing
pipe flow and capacity information.
The following are the results of the design capacity calculations for the Red Line (the design
assumptions for these calculations are attached in Appendix B):
Design capacity of the existing pipe is 900-1, 100 S.F.E.s (approx. 500 gpm)

* Slip lining the existing pipe is anticipated to increase its design capacity to 1,300-1,400
S.F.E.s (approx. 700 gpm)
* Increasing pipe size to 12" diameter will increase pipe capacity to 2,500-2,600 S.F.E.s
(approx. 1,300 gpm)
The following are the results of the design capacity calculations for the 8" main in Quail Drive:
• Design capacity of the existing pipe is 1,000-1,100 S.F.E.s (approx. 550 gpm)
• Increasing pipe size to 10" diameter will increase pipe capacity to 2,400-2,500 S.F.E.s
(approx. 1,275 gpm)
Design flows were obtained from WPWWSD and TOFSD (attached in Appendix D) and
included the following:
• The current design flow in the Red Line is 1,185 SFEs (approx. 620 gpm)
• The current design flow in the 8" sewer main in Quail Drive is 69 SFEs (approx. 35 gpm)
Maximum design flow(at fall build-out) in Red Line is 1363 SFEs (approx. 700 gpm)
Maximum design flow in the 8" sewer main in Quail Drive is 85 SFEs (approx. 45 gpm)
As expected, these findings confirm that the existing design flows in the Red Line currently
exceed the design capacity of the existing 10" clay pipe. After re-lining the existing 10" clay
pipe, the design capacity of the Red Line will be approximately equal to the maximum design
flows, which is still not a desirable permanent condition. The options to remediate this situation
are discussed below.
DESCRIPTION OF OPTIONS
Please reference Figure E2 (attached in Appendix A) of aerial photo depicting Options#1-#4.
Please reference Appendix C for Engineers Opinion of Probable Cost for each option.
OPTION 41
Estimated Project Cost =S117,000
(Does not include cost to obtain casement in Open Space parcel from Wapiti Meadows)
• Sanitary sewer flows from the east on Wapiti Drive (TOFSD) are currently conveyed to
the Red Line. This option includes the installation of approximately 320' of new 8" sewer
main that would allow the flows from Wapiti Drive (TOFSD) to be redirected to the
existing 8" sewer main in Quail Drive (TOFSD).
• The existing Red Line would be re-lined(CIPP) to improve pipe capacity.
OPTION #2
Estimated Project Cost = $222,000 (Open Cut) and $304,000 (Pipe Bursting)
(Does not include cost to obtain easement in Open Space parcel from Wapiti Meadows)
e Sanitary sewer flows from the south on South Wapiti Drive (WPWWSD) are currently
conveyed to the Red Line. This option includes the installation of approximately 130' of

new 10" sewer main that would allow the flows from South Wapiti Drive (WPWWSD) to
be redirected to the existing 8" sewer main in Quail Drive (TOFSD).
* The 8" sewer main in Quail Drive would be replaced with a 10" main, which could be
accomplished by either pipe bursting or an open-cut/trench method. (NOTE: It is our
understanding that pipe bursting has not been attempted by either District and may prove
to be difficult in soils with larger rocks and cobbles. If pipe bursting is going to be
considered, it is recommended that further investigation is completed to determine the
existing soil and trench materials and the associated feasibility of the procedure).
* The existing Red Line would be re-lined(CIPP) to improve pipe capacity.
OPTION#3
Estimated Project Cost=$142,000 (Open Cut) and $232,000 (Pipe Bursting)
This option would increase the existing size of the Red Line (by pipe bursting or open
trench construction) from an existing 10" diameter to a 12" diameter.
OPTION#4
Estimated Project Cost=$300,000 (Open Cut) and $381,000 (Pipe Bursting)
(Does not include cost to obtain easement in Open Space parcel from Wapiti Meadows)
• This option is a combination of Option#1 and Option#2.
• Installation of a new 8" sewer main that would allow the flows from Wapiti Drive
(TOFSD) to be redirected around the existing Red Line and connect to the existing sewer
main in Quail Drive (TOFSD).
• Installation of a new 10" sewer main that would allow the flows from South Wapiti Drive
(WPWWSD) to be redirected to the existing sewer main in Quail Drive (TOFSD).
• The sewer main in Quail Drive would be replaced with a 10" main, which could be
accomplished by either pipe bursting or an open-cut method.
• The existing Red Line would be re-lined (CIPP) to improve pipe capacity.
OPTION#5
Estimated Project Cost=$104,000
(Does not include cost to obtain easement in Open Space parcel from Wapiti Meadows)
• This option includes the installation of a new "splitter" manhole in the existing 10" sewer
main from South Wapiti Drive (WPWWSD). This splitter manhole would divide the
flows coming from the south from South Wapiti Drive (WPWWSD) between the 10" Red
Line and the 8" sewer main in Quail Drive.
• Installation of approximately 130' of new 8" sewer main from the splitter manhole that
would allow a portion of the flows from South Wapiti Drive (WPWWSD) to be redirected
to the existing sewer main in Quail Drive (TOFSD).
The existing Red Line would be re-lined(CIPP) to improve pipe capacity.
Please reference Figure E3 (attached in Appendix A) of aerial photo depicting Option #5.

RECOMMENDATION
We would recommend that the Districts pursue completing the infrastructure improvements
listed in Option#5. Here are the benefits of Option#5 when compared with the other options:
• This option provides the most economical solution.
• This option has the least overall disturbance to the neighborhood.
• The splitter manhole will allow the Districts to have control over the flows in both the Red
Line and the 8" main in Quail Drive. The inverts of the manholes can be constructed to
allow a predetermined split in flows between the pipes. The flows could also be
completely diverted to one pipe to allow maintenance on the other line.
• This option makes the best use of the existing system capacity. Once the Red Line is re-
lined (CIPP), the overall capacity of both lines will be approximately 2,400 SFEs (1250
gpm). The design flow is 1448 SFEs, which is 60% of design capacity of both pipes.

DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS
The following data was used for design peak flow calculations-
* Peak Factor (PF) of 3.0
* 1/1 (Inflow & Infiltration) was assumed at 20%peak flow
® 210 gal/sfe/day(considering occupancy rates of each District)
The design capacity for the Red Line is based on a 0.4% minimum design grade (provided by
WPWWSD).
The design capacity for the 8" sewer main in Quail Drive is based on a 1% minimum (taken from
a survey of existing manholes).
The 8" sewer main in Quail Drive has recently been re-lined (CIPP), so a 7.5" pipe diameter was
used for capacity calculations.
Capacities of pipes for this analysis assume 'free-flow' capacities, not 'surcharged/pressure'
capacities.
Based on information received from Clients, there are no utility crossings anticipated for the Red
Line expansion.

SEWER LINE SHARING AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into effective 2013,by and
between WINTER PARIS RANCH WATER AND SANITATION DISTRICT,a Colorado
special district(hereinafter referred to as WPRWSD),and the TOWN OF FRASER,
COLORADO(hereinafter AFraser @);
RECITALS
A, WPRWSD and Fraser are both engaged in the provision of sanitary sewer services within
their respective jurisdictions,
B. WPRWSD and Fraser are parties to the Upper Fraser Valley Wastewater Treatment
Agreement("Joint Facilities Agreement"),executed in 2001 and as subsequently assigned
and amended,whereby they and the Grand County Water and Sanitation District#I jointly
own and operate a sewage treatment plant and certain sewage interceptor lines used to
transport sewage to the treatment facility,
C. For many years,WPRWSD and Fraser have shared the use of other sewer mains not covered
in the Joint Facilities Agreement to convey sewage to the sewage treatment plant.
D, WPRWSD and Fraser now desire to confirm their understanding and agreement regarding the
shared use of those sewer mains and arrangements for the maintenance,repair and
replacement of such mains,as in this Agreement provided.
E. WPRWSD and Fraser have both commissioned a study because the Red Line is nearing
capacity and must either be replaced or have the usage thereof reduced.A copy of that study
is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The parties have agreed to implement Option 5 referred to in
said study,in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE,in consideration of the premises,the mutual commitments,
covenants and agreements herein contained,and for other good and valuable consideration,the
receipt and adequacy which is hereby acknowledged,the parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
I. Definition. When used herein,the term"EQR" (equivalent residential usage unit)shall have
the same meaning as defined in the Joint Facilities Agreement.
1 Shared Lines. The sewer mains currently shared by WPRWSD and Fraser,which are not
covered by the Joint Facilities Agreement,are depicted on Exhibit A at page E3 attached
hereto and are referred to herein as the"Green Line","Red Line"and"Yellow Line",
corresponding with the colors of the lines shown on said Exhibit. For purposes of this
Agreement,said Green,Red and Yellow Lines are deemed to be owned by WPRWSD,
notwithstanding the fact that both parties have contributed to the construction and
maintenance of some of those lines in the past. Pursuant to Option 5,the existing sewer main
located in Quail Drive,which is owned by Fraser,will be connected to WPRWSD's main and
a portion will become a shared line(the"Quail Line"),as depicted on Exhibit A at page E3.
Said Green,Red,Yellow,and Quail Lines are collectively referred to as the"Shared Lines".
The number of WPRWSD and Fraser EQR's currently connected to each Shared Line,and
the anticipated total number ofEQR's that will be connected when all adjacent properties are
developed("Build Out")are shown on Exhibit C,and are tabulated(as to each party's
percentage of responsibility for maintenance and construction of each line)on Exhibit B
attached hereto.The"Percentage Use at Build Out"column of Exhibit B represents each
party's share of the use of each respective Shared Line at build out and also represents each
party's share of the costs for maintenance and repairs, as more fully provided below.If,
subsequent to the execution of this Agreement,there is more than a One Percent(1%)change
in the shared use of any Shared Line due to a change in the anticipated number of EQR's to
be connected at build out,the percentage of the shared cost shall be adjusted accordingly.
3. Ownership and Cost Sharing.
A, For purposes of this Agreement,each party shall be deemed to have a proportionate use
interest in each Shared Line corresponding with that party's Percentage Use at Build Out as
shown on Exhibit B. Similarly,each party shall be responsible for payment of a share of the
costs of maintenance,repair,and replacement of each Shared Line in accordance with the
party's Percentage Use at Build Out,in accordance with the procedures provided herein
below. Shared costs shall include amounts paid for labor and materials used for the
maintenance,repair or replacement of the Shared Lines.If any such work is performed by
employees of either party,that employees'work may be included as a shared cost.Each party
shall bill the other party on a monthly basis for that party's share of costs for the preceding
month or months.Invoices shall be paid within thirty(30)days from the date of the invoice.
Each invoice shall include reasonable detail with regard to expenditures.
B. The new manhole and the connector line from the WPRWSD main to the Quail Line,as
contemplated in Option 5,shall be owned by WPRWSD.As provided in section 5,the cost of
installing Option 5,including the new manhole and connector line,shall be borne one-half by
WPRWSD,and one-half by Fraser.The new manhole and connector line shall be maintained
by WPRWSD at its sole expense.
4. Routine Operations. The owner of each Shared Line,shall have the sole responsibility for
overseeing the operation,maintenance and repair of such lines and the right to make
decisions with regard to those lines;provided,however,that no action shall be taken by the
owner that would interrupt or interfere with the other party's shared use without written
notification to the other party a minimum of seven(7)business days in advance of the routine
operation action to betaken. Each party is authorized to incur costs not to exceed$10,000
per calendar year,or such greater amount as may be budgeted pursuant to Section 7 hereof,
for routine maintenance and repairs and for emergency repairs relating to the Shared Lines.
deleted •!
Emergency repairs exceeding$10,000 may be authorized by Fraser's manager or WPRWSD's
manager subject to appropriation and/or approval by each party's respective board.
5. Major Repairs or Replacements. It is anticipated that the existing Green and Yellow Lines
have sufficient reserve capacity to accommodate the estimated EQR's of both parties at build
out and such Lines are in a condition that should not require any major repairs or
replacements within the foreseeable future.The Red Line is currently at or near capacity,has
exceeded its useful life,and will require an upgrade or replacement in the near future to
accommodate additional sewer flows. Option 5 of the Vision Land Consultants Inc.
Memorandum,Exhibit A attached hereto,Shall be followed to resolve the capacity issue in
the Red Line.WPRWSD shall be responsible for the final design,bidding and administration
of construction of the Option 5 plan and for acquisition of necessary easements. The design
documents shall be submitted to Fraser for review and comment before implementation. The
costs of implementing Option 5 shall be shared equally(one-half each)by the parties;
provided,however,that such costs shall not exceed$104,000 without the written consent of
both parties.
6. Emergency Repairs. In the event an emergency repair is necessary on any of the sewer
mains that are the subject of this agreement,the non-owning party may conduct emergency
repairs,if unable to contact the owner of the line for one(1)hour or if the owner advises it is
unable to initiate repairs or the non-owner is directed by the owner to make repairs.
7. Cost Reimbursement. Within 30 days after the end of each calendar year,each party shall
provide a written report to the other party with the description and amount of any costs
incurred for maintenance or repair of the Shared Lines during the calendar year then ended.
The parties will reconcile such reports to allocate the costs according to the formula stated
above and determine the amount of any reimbursement due from one party to the other.
Payment for any such reimbursement shall be due within 90 days after the end of the calendar
year for which the costs were reported.
$. Budgeting. No later than September 30 of each year,each party shall confer regarding
expected expenditures during the following calendar year for maintenance,repair and/or
replacement of the Shared Lines. Such personnel shall then report to their respective
governing body regarding the anticipated amount of such expenditures and the allocation
thereof between the parties according to the formula provided herein,for purposes of
consideration of such expenditures in the budgeting processes of the party's governing body..
9. Limitation of infiltration-Both parties agree to take appropriate steps to limit infiltration
into the Shared Lines in accordance with the standards established pursuant to the Joint
Facilities Agreement.
10.Warranties-All warranties for labor and materials relating to the Shared Lines shall run in
favor of and inure for the benefit the parties in ownership of such Lines as provided herein.

11.Joint Facility Lines. In addition to the Shared Lines,WPRWSD is currently utilizing a
portion of Fraser's reserved capacity in Trunk Line B,as described in the Joint Facilities
Agreement,to service WPRWSD's office facilities at Fraser's Manhole B007 (3.15 EQR).
WPRWSD has and will continue to pay sewer service fees at Fraser's established rate,as
amended from time to time,as compensation for use of said Trunk Line. In addition,
WPRWSD is expected to utilize an additional portion of Fraser's reserved capacity in Trunk
Lines A and B described in the Joint Facilities Agreement to service the Emery Property,
which is within the WPRWSD boundaries and which will be connected at Fraser's Manhole
A010(estimated at 2.88 EQR), If such connection is made,WPRWSD shall reimburse
Fraser for 0.24%of the maintenance,repair and replacement costs attributable to Trunk Line
A and .06%of the maintenance,repair and replacement costs attributable to Trunk Line B,
corresponding with WPRWSD's proportionate usage of the capacities of said Trunk Lines,
12.Assignment-Neither party Shall assign its rights,duties and obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party,provided,however,that this
restriction shall not preclude the contracting out of repairs,maintenance or other-work
relating to the Shared Lines.
13.Indemnification. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party,its
employees and agents,from and against all claims,damages,liability and awards,arising or
incurred as a result of any act or omission by the indemnifying party or its employees or
agents pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided,however,in case of liability on a
third-party claim relating to a Shared Line where both WPRWSD and Fraser are finally
adjudged to be equally at fault or faultless,the liability shall be shared according to the
formula provided herein for sharing ownership and costs with respect to such Shared Lure.
14.Annual Appropriation. Each party's financial obligations under this Agreement shall be
subject to annual appropriation by that party's governing body.In the event that a party fails
to appropriate funds as required by this Agreement or as necessary to fulfill its obligations
hereunder,that party's right to use non-owned.Shared Lines shall cease,effective One
Hundred Eighty(180)days after notice is given that a payment due hereunder has not been
made,unless such payment is made within such 180-day period.

Memo to: Mayor Smith and the Board of Trustees
From: Jeff Durbin, Town Manager
Date: April 11, 2013
Subject: Chemical Feed Building Bid Process
As you know, we recently advertised for bids for a chemical feed building at the Upper
Fraser Valley Wastewater Treatment Facility and received two bids. At the April 3, 2012
Town Board meeting, one of the bidders alleged that this was an unfair bidding process
and that the other bidder failed to meet the bid requirements. Accordingly, action was
tabled on the matter. Fair bidding procedures are important to this organization so I felt
it appropriate to look into this matter further.
Given the long history and importance of this project to our wastewater treatment
process (as outlined in the memo dated March 27, 2013), and our goal of finding a local
contractor for the project, I had some concern that we may have let the formal bid
process become a little less formal. As part of my review, we discussed internal
procedures to prevent that from occurring with future bid processes.
In order to look into the allegations presented at the April 3 d meeting, I asked staff to pull
all the bid documents and forward those on to both the Town Attorney and the
Wastewater Plant Engineer for review. I also asked the managers of both Grand County
Water and Sanitation District#1 and Winter Park Ranch Water and Sanitation District to
meet with me and Plant staff to review the bids in detail.
Enclosed in your packet you will find all the applicable bid materials, bids, and a
comparison of both bids. The bid comparison was prepared in a manner to provide a
fair comparison of both bids to better evaluate them given the differences in each bid,
rather than simply reviewing the bottom line of each bid.
I think it may be helpful to your review to note that the State permitting process helped
land us in this situation. The equipment requires state approval, and both the building
and its equipment were designed to comply with State requirements. As of the time of
bid advertisement, we had yet to receive approval from the State for the equipment.
Thus, the bid documents needed to be tailored to allow us to pursue construction of the
building while we were awaiting approval of the equipment. Nonetheless, construction of
the building cannot be effective without an understanding of the equipment it will house.
This is the reason the documents include items that might not be included in the scope
of work.
PO Box 770.1 Fraser, CO 80442 oFfice 970 726 7491 faix 970 726 7718
After our review, the following items should be noted as contained in the bid documents
and advertisement for bid printed in Sky-Hi News:
• Advertisement for Bids stated "masonry building addition and metal roof and
EIFS."
• Familiarization page 00200-3 ending on page 00200-4, there will be no financial
adjustment to any Contract award thereunder which is based on the lack of such
prior information or its effect on the costs of the work.
• General Conditions page 00700-1 Scope has disclaimer for work listed and not
part of contract. Paragraph 3 Intent of Drawings and Specs. It states all is part of
contract.
• Rights & Responsibilities of the Contractor page 00700-11 if discrepancy
found it is their duty to inform the engineer.
• Special Construction Provisions page 0800-1 general description of work in
first paragraph list building addition & bulk bag feed system.
• Scope of Work page 00800-2 Both drawings & specs show equipment that are
not part of the contract, please make clarification before bidding.
• Bid Documents page 11060-1 contain the feeder specs along with the name of
the manufacture (this is the page that was cited by one bidder on April 3 d)
There are a number of places in the documents where a potential bidder might think the
feeder equipment should be included in the bid.
There are also a number of places in the documents that note it is the bidders
responsibility to ask questions or seek clarification.
Both bidders did a walk through on site with Joe Fuqua prior to submitting bids. Both
bidders were told during their walk through that the equipment was not part of bid
(because we did not have approval from State Health Dept. before advertising for bids).
They were encouraged to call the engineer to discuss. In the future, we will not be
hosting individual pre-bid meetings in order to reduce the possibility of hearing things
differently.
While this is certainly an unfortunate situation, after our review we have concluded the
following:
• The Town Attorney notes that the bid documents offer the Town Board discretion
to award a contract to either bidder.
• The bid comparison confirms that even with deletion of the feeder equipment
from the M3 bid, it is still substantially higher than the Kopp bid. I believe both
bidders are competent contractors, however, it is clear that the Kopp bid is lower.
• We reviewed this matter in detail with the managers of the member entities, and
both concur with the above and encourage the Town Board to award the contract
to Kopp.
• The Plant Engineer reviewed the bids and recommends that the Town Board
award the bid to Kopp.
Accordingly, is my recommendation that the Town Board approve Resolution 2013-04-
01 awarding the contract to Kopp.

RE: Dry Feeder Bid Recommendation
Dear Ms. Anderson:
| have reviewed the bid proposals received on March 19. 2013 for construction of the VVVVTP
Dry Feeder Addition. The bidders were JT Kopp Construction and W13 Property Service. While
not required by the contract documents, both bidders provided an itemized cost breakdown for
the bid lump sum price.
JT Kopp was the apparent low bidder at$128.701.5O. while M3'o proposal was for$214.954. |
understand that the actual feed equipment was included in the W13proposal. According tothe
itemization provided by M3, the total cost for equipment and installation was $35,892. Even
with this value deducted from the M3 cost, JT Kopp is still the low bidder by a substantial
margin.
The cost information provided byJT Kopp totals the bid amount. The W13 attachment contains a
number of exceptions and appears to be a contract modification. It is unclear if the proposal is
intended to be a lump sum, per the contract documents, or is an alternative T & M proposal.
This proposal does not conform to the contract documents.
|tis our recommendation that the contract be awarded toJTKopp. |tismy understanding that
this company has worked for the Town in the past and performed satisfactorily.
Very truly yours,
McLaughlin Water Engineers

Re: Pretreatment Dry Lime Feeder Addition Contract Proposal from M3 Property Service, Inc.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to bid on the addition to the regional waste water
plant. I am happy to report I was able to receive subcontractor and supplier quotes from local
companies for all parts of the project except for the Volumetric Feeder and associated equipment—this
equipment would be supplied by Techna-Flo in Denver. After visiting with Joe Fuqua at the plant, it
appears this addition will greatly benefit your operation,allowing personnel there to simplify the
handling of hazardous materials.
I have listed two options in the attached detailed breakdown of the proposed contract.The
plans call for a manually operated roll up door, Hal Jaeke from Overhead Door advises a motor drive be
put on this large, heavy door(line 08210). Even if you choose not to include the option, Rick Plum of
Plums Electric has included wiring for this motor in his quote so it can be added in the future.Also note
here a line item for$600 was specified for painting the foundation walls (02400)to match the existing
building,which was not called for in the Contract Documents.
Concerning electrical,there are references in the drawings indicating the wiring in the
pretreatment room is to be Class I, Division IL However,the light fixtures specified are not explosion
proof.A discussion by phone between Rick Plum (bidding electrician)and project engineer Jim
McLaughlin indicated the intent was to provide a corrosion resistant wiring system and not an explosion
proof atmosphere. Wiring is then designed to be corrosion resistant and specified light fixtures were bid.
1 have attached a detailed breakdown of the bid so you can review the list of sub-contractors. I
have done this also because I would like to propose the option of having the project owner pay only the
actual costs associated with the project, plus a 5%profit fee to M3 Property Service on the total contract
charges and a 15%overhead fee on all material, rental and subcontractor project costs. Under this
scenario,owner payments would of course be limited to no more than the contract price listed on the
Sealed Proposal Cover Sheet.You also have the option,of course,of treating this as a traditional
contract and paying the contract price listed on the PROPOSAL page of the submittal.
If you choose the option of paying the full contract price, M3 will pledge to use the same
payment formula outlined below to arrive at an actual project cost. M3 will then donate any funds over
and above actual project costs as outlined above to the Fraser Valley Partnership for Trails for trail
development and maintenance in the Fraser Valley,which includes all districts served by the regional
plant.
Subcontractor prices will remain as listed in the attached detailed breakdown of costs(line
items include the 15%charge by M3).Owner savings can be realized though in several areas of the
quoted price. Any charges exceeding line items can be taken from the contingency budget or from
other budget lines at the discretion of M3 in order to meet or stay below the maximum contract price of
$214,954. Line items offering possible savings are:
1. Lines 02200,02300, prices quoted for carpentry and caulking services by M3.These services will be
charged at$45 an hour.
2. Line 18200,Contingency. This line item will only be used if circumstances necessitate an increase in
project costs as detailed in the Contract Budget. These circumstances will be detailed with any use of
these funds,which will be at the discretion of M3 only.
3. Line 10050, accounting charges will be billed to M3 at$65 per hour by Frye Bookkeeping with 15%
added to these charges for overhead.
4. Line 10053,Grand County might be willing to waive the permit fee. In any case,this is an estimate,

5. Line 10500, Project Supervision Fee—will be billed at$45 an hour for actual logged hours.An E mail
will be sent to the project engineer every time I am on site to review project progress or to help with
different phases of the project. This e mail log can be copied to any owner representative(s) requested.
Actual charges then will total hours logged during the project. Hours spent preparing the contract bid
will also be billed as part of this fee if the district chooses one of the above cost plus contracts.
6. Line 10600, if testing is required by the project owner or engineer, it will come out of this budget.
7. Line 10700, Plan and copy costs,dependent on actual numbers of O&M manual and plan copies

additional cost if approved by the Owner and Project Engineer.
11. Lines 11101, 11102, shipping, install and training for use of Feeder device. Actual charges for
Tecweigh technician at$125 per hour and mileage charges, plus labor charges from M3 at$45 per hour

Contract,would be billed actual hours only.
12. Line 16100,Jobsite power. Joe Fuqua has indicated jobsite power might be provided from the
existing site source, if a temporary construction outlet is wired by the electric contractor(Rick Plum). If
not,this total will cover a jobsite generator and/or district charges for power used. Power demands will
be relatively minor.
13. Line 18500,Supplemental insurance. The Contract Document was unclear as to the requirement for
a commercial auto policy to be carried by M3 on its company truck. If the general liability policy
currently in force for the vehicle is adequate, part of supplemental insurance costs can be saved.All
other insurance requirements will be met by M3.
Aaiqk you for considering M3's proposal for the addition to the regional water treatment plant.

Contract Documents as provided for in the invitation for Proposals. If the
revisions and amendments are of a nature which may require substantial
changes in quantities or prices or both, the date set for opening bids may be
postponed by such length of time as in the opinion of the Engineer will enable
Bidders to revise their Proposals. In such cases, the addendum will include an
announcement of the new time for opening bids.

consideration of the Contract, and the construction period named elsewhere in

time prior to the expiration of the period during which Proposal may be submitted,
by written request, signed in the same manner and by the same persons who
signed the Proposal. The Owner agrees to carefully canvass each bid submitted,

00200-4
agreement that the same may not be withdrawn after opening for a period of
thirty (30) days.

any or all Proposals, to waive inconsistencies and informalities, and to award the

00700-4
boards, grade stakes, offset stakes,structure layout, elevation transfer stakes and any other
surveys required to accomplish the work.
All work done under this Contract shall be done to the lines, grades, and elevations shown
on the Drawings. The Contractor shall keep the Engineer informed, a reasonable time in
advance, of the times and places at which he wishes to do work, in order that lines and
grades may be furnished and necessary measurements for record and payment may be
made with the minimum of inconvenience to the Engineer and of delay to the Contractor.
Any work done without being properly located and established by base lines, offset stakes,
bench marks, or other basic reference points located, established, or checked by the
Engineer, may be ordered removed and replaced at the Contractor's cost and expense.
All stakes, bench marks, and other survey points shall be preserved by the Contractor. In
case of their destruction by him or his employees, they will be replaced at the Contractor's
expense.
12. CHANGES IN THE WORK: Through the Engineer the Owner may, at any time during the
progress of the work, make alterations of, additions or deletions to, or deviations from the
work provided for in the Agreement. The work, as changed, shall be performed as if
originally specified, and shall in no way invalidate the Contract or the bond or bonds. Any
difference in cost shall be added to or deducted from the amount of the Contract, as the
case may be. Adjustments in the amounts to be paid to the Contractor on account of
changed work shall be determined by one of the following methods in the order listed, the
earlier listed being used unless impractical:
a. Unit prices submitted in the Contractor's Proposal
b. Unit prices agreed upon
C. Acceptable lump sum
d. Actual cost as defined below:
When in the judgment of the Engineer, it is impracticable because of the nature of
the changed work or when the Contractor and Engineer cannot agree to fix the
amount to be paid for it by any of the above methods (a), (b), or (c), the amount
payable shall be adjusted based on the following methodology. This methodology
shall apply to all effort whether it be by the prime Contractor or by the
Subcontractors. Apportionment of overhead and profit shall be determined and
agreed upon by those parties. The methodology involves determination of(1) direct
charges, (2) overhead, (3) equipment, (4) actual cost, and (5) profit.
(1) Direct Charges. Direct charges shall include all materials and equipment
incorporated into the project, all expenditures for materials furnished and
used by the Contractor, labor costs (salary paid to workers plus direct
benefits) including the working foreman in direct charge of the specific
operations.
(2) Overhead. The overhead allowance shall be equal to twenty(20) percent of
subtotal defined as direct charges. Overhead allowance shall include the
00700-5
cost of general superintendence, rental of small tools, miscellaneous energy
and supplies. Where Subcontractors perform work itemized in "Direct
Charges," the maximum combined overhead allowance for Subcontractors
and the Contractor shall be 20 percent.
(3) Equipment. Costs for use or rental of equipment (other than small tools)
which may be required shall be based on rental rates for equipment as
shown in the "Rental Rate Blue Book" published by Dataquest or similar
published document acceptable to the Owner, Engineer, and Contractor.
(4) Actual Cost. Actual cost shall be the computed total of the direct charges,
overhead, and equipment costs, as defined above.
(5) Profit. The allowable profit shall be equal to ten (10) percent of the actual
cost, as defined above. If the work is subcontracted,the total profit shall not
exceed 10.0%. When the changed work results in a net decrease of the
work, the amount payable shall be adjusted according to the same
methodology described above, except that the allowable profit shall not be
included. The Contractor must notify the Engineer in writing before doing
any work which he considers additional and which would require additional
compensation.
Payroll records, receipts,and other pertinent records which,in the judgment of the Engineer,
are required for the establishment of"actual cost,"shall be provided to the Engineer by the
Contractor.
In case any orders or instructions, either oral or written, appear to the Contractor to involve
extra work for which, in his opinion, he should receive extra compensation, he shall
immediately make a written request to the Engineer for a written order authorizing such extra
work. Should a difference of opinion arise as to what does or does not constitute extra work
or concerning the payment thereof, and the Engineer insists on its performance, the
Contractor shall proceed with the work after making a written request for a written change
order and shall keep an accurate account of the direct charges as provided for in Method"d"
in the foregoing paragraph. The Contractor will thereby not waive any right he might have to
compensation for the claimed "extra work." The matter will be submitted to the Owner for
final determination as to whether or not the extra work constitutes a change order.
The Engineer shall have authority to make minor changes in the work, not involving extra
cost. No claim for additional payment shall be valid unless authorized in writing as above
provided.
13. INSURANCE: The Contractor shall purchase and maintain such insurance as will protect
him, the Owner, and the Engineer from claims set forth below which may arise out of, or

(3) Workers' Compensation Insurance: The Contractor shall procure and maintain, in
accordance with the provisions of the laws of the State in which the work is
performed, Workers' Compensation Insurance, including occupational disease
provisions, for all of his employees at the site of the work and in case any work is
sublet,the Contractor shall require such Subcontractor similarly to provide Workers'
Compensation Insurance, including occupational disease provisions for all of the

provision that coverages afforded under the policies will not be cancelled unless at least
fifteen (15) days prior written notice has been given the Owner. Self insurance by the
Contractor is not acceptable.
The Contractor and his insurers shall hold harmless, indemnify, and defend the Owner,the
Engineer,the Engineer's Subcontractor Consultants, and each of their officers, employees,
and agents from any and all liability claims, losses, or damages arising, or alleged to arise,
from the performance of the work described herein. The obligation of the Contractor under
this paragraph shall not extend to the liability of the Owner, Engineer, Engineer's
Subcontractor Consultants, and their officers, employees, and agents arising out of the
preparation or approval of maps, drawings, opinions, reports, surveys, change orders,
designs, specifications or by giving or failure to give directions or instructions by the Owner,
Engineer, the Engineer's Subcontracting Consultants and their officers, employees, or
agents provided that said preparation or approval or said giving or failure to give is the
primary cause of the injury, damage, or loss.
14. PERFORMANCE BOND AND PAYMENT BOND: The Contractor shall be required by the
Owner to furnish a Performance Bond and a Payment Bond on the forms furnished by the
00700-8
Owner in an amount not less than the full amount of the Contract price, as security for the

during the continuance of the Contract,the Surety on the Contractor's Performance Bond or
Payment Bond becomes irresponsible in the Owner's judgment, the Owner shall have the
right to require additional and sufficient sureties at the Contractor's expense which the
Contractor shall furnish within ten (10) consecutive calendar days after written notice to do
SO.
The Contractor and his Surety shall be jointly responsible for the maintenance and
satisfactory operation for a period of one (1)year, or such other period as may be provided
by law,following the Final Acceptance,of all work performed underthis Contract,and forthe
satisfactory repair or replacement of any work, material or equipment which becomes
defective during this period; provided any failure results directly or indirectly from faulty
workmanship or negligence by the Contractor, from faulty manufacturing or from faulty
erection or improper handling of materials or equipment furnished or installed by the
Contractor. Neither the Contractor nor Surety shall be liable under this paragraph for any
failure resulting from the Owner's neglect or want of proper operation of facilities or acts of a
third party.
When any faulty condition is found,the Owner shall serve notice to the Contractor and/or his
Surety of this condition. Upon receipt of said notice the Contractor or his Surety shall
proceed within 10 days and with due diligence to perform all repairs and/or replacements in
a satisfactory manner at no additional cost to the Owner. The expiration date for the
repaired or replaced work shall be the same as that for the original work.
If, in repairing his own work, the Contractor damages the work or property of others, the
repair and payment for such shall be the Contractor's responsibility. Should the Contractor
fail or refuse to proceed as stated above, the Owner may at his option, and without further
notice to the Contractor, arrange for such work to be done at the expense of the Contractor.
15. AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF THE ENGINEER: The Engineer is designated by the Owner
to exercise authority on his behalf under this Contract and to see that the work product
meets the requirements and intent of the Drawings and Specifications. If substantial cause
exists where requirements of the Drawings and the Specifications are not being met, work
under this Contract may, without cost or claim against the Owner, be suspended by the
Engineer.
When the Contractor is not present on the work, he shall have a superintendent or other
representative present who shall, during the absence of the Contractor, be his
representative and have immediate charge of the work and who shall have all of the
authority and duties of the Contractor hereunder. The superintendent or representative shall
have the Contractor's authority to act in lieu of the Contractor in his absence.
a. Engineer's Decisions: The Engineer shall, within a reasonable time after their
presentation to him, make decisions in writing on all claims of the Owner or the
Contractor and on all other matters relating to the execution and progress of the
work or the interpretation of the Contract Documents.
00700-9
All such decisions of the Engineer shall be final except in cases where time and/or
financial considerations are involved, which, if no agreement in regard thereto is
reached, shall be subject to later determination.
b. Determinations for Payment: The Engineer shall make all determinations of
amounts and quantities of work performed hereunder. To assist him in his work the
Contractor shall make available for inspection any records kept by him.
C. Access to Work: The Engineer and his authorized representatives shall have free
access to the work at all times, and the Contractor shall furnish them with facilities for
ascertaining whether the work being performed, or the work which has been
completed, is in accordance with the requirements of the Contract.
d. Construction Checking: The Engineer will make periodic observations of
construction (sometimes commonly referred to as"inspection"or"supervision"). The
purpose of these observations and construction checking is to determine the
progress of the work and to see if the work is being performed in accordance with
plans and specifications. He will in no way be responsible for how the work is
performed,safety in, on,or about the job site, methods of performance,or timeliness
in the performance of the work.
e. Inspection of Work: Inspectors may be appointed to inspect materials used and
work done. Inspections may extend to all or any part of the work and to the
preparation or manufacture of the materials to be used. The inspectors will not be
authorized to alter the provisions of these Specifications,or to delay the fulfillment of
the Contract by failure to inspect materials and work with reasonable promptness.
An Inspector cannot issue instructions contrary to the Drawings and Specifications or
act as foreman for the Contractor. The Inspector will have authority to reject
defective material and to suspend any work that is being done improperly subject to
the final decision of the Engineer.
If substandard material not conforming to the requirements of the Drawings and
Specifications has been delivered to the project, or has been incorporated in the
work, or if work shall have been performed of inferior quality, then such material or
work shall be considered as defective and shall be removed and replaced as -
directed by the Engineer at the expense of the Contractor.
All materials shall be subject to examination and testing by the Engineer at any time
during manufacture. The right is reserved to reject defective materials during
manufacture or before they have been incorporated into the work. If the Contractor
fails to replace rejected materials, the Owner may replace them or correct defective
work and charge the cost thereof to the Contractor or may terminate the right of the
Contractor to proceed. Any earlier failure to detect defective material or
workmanship shall not impair Owner's right to a finally completed project as
contemplated by paragraph twenty of these General Conditions.
If the Specifications, the Engineer's instructions, laws, ordinances or any public
authority require any work to be specifically tested or checked, the Contractor shall
give the Engineer timely notice of its readiness for inspection, and if the inspection is
by an authority other than the Engineer, of the date fixed for such inspection.
Inspections by the Engineer shall be promptly made and where practicable at the
source of supply. If any work should be covered up without consent of the Engineer,
00700-10
it must, if required by the Engineer, be uncovered for examination at the Contractor's
expense.
Re-examination of the questioned work may be ordered by the Engineer and, if so
ordered, the work must be uncovered by the Contractor. If such work be found in
accordance with the Contract Documents, the Owner shall pay the cost of
re-examination and replacement. If such work be found not in accordance with the
Contract Documents, the Contractor shall pay such cost, unless he shall show that
the defect in the work was caused by another Contractor; in that event, the Owner
shall pay such cost.
f. Suspension of Work-Climatic Conditions: The Engineer may order the Contractor
to suspend work that may be damaged or endangered by climatic conditions. When
adverse climatic conditions are unusual and extensive,an extension of time may be
granted the Contractor by the Engineer.
g. Final Inspection and Acceptance: When the work specified in the Contract is
completed and the final cleanup has been performed,the Contractor shall notify the
- Engineer in writing that all work under the Contract has been completed and that a
final inspection by the Engineer is requested. Within ten (10) days after receipt of
the final inspection request, the Engineer shall make the inspection. Within a
reasonable time after completion of the final inspection,the Engineer will issue a list
of items which are not in conformance with the Contract and which are required to be
corrected by the Contractor.
Following the satisfactory completion of the corrective items, the Engineer will
recommend acceptance of the work to the owner. Neither the final inspection, nor
recommended acceptance, nor final estimate, nor any possession of the work by the
- Owner shall operate as a waiver of the provisions of these Contract Documents or
power reserved herein to the Owner, or of any right to damages herein provided.
16. RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CONTRACTOR:
a. General: It is hereby agreed by the Contractor that he has satisfied himself as to the
nature and location of the work,the character, quality and quantity of the materials to
be encountered, including subsurface conditions, the equipment and facilities
needed to prosecute the work, the local conditions, and all other matters which can
affect the work under this Contract.
If the Contractor in the course of his work finds a discrepancy between the Drawings
and the physical conditions or any errors or omissions on the Drawings, it shall be
his duty to inform the Engineer in writing immediately, and the Engineer shall
promptly investigate and make any determination required by the circumstances.
Any work done after such discovery, until authorized,will be done at the Contractor's
risk. In all cases the Engineer shall decide the intent of the Drawings and
Specifications and his decision shall be final and binding, except as hereinafter
provided.
b. Address: The address given in the Contractor's Proposal is hereby designated as
the place to which all communications to the Contractor shall be delivered or mailed.
The delivery or attempted delivery by the U. S. Postal Service or anyone of such a
00700-11
communication at such address, as certified by such person or by an employee of
the U. S. Postal Service, will constitute the giving of notice in accordance with the
Contract Documents. The date of said service shall be the date of such delivery.
The Contractor's address may be changed at any time if a written notice signed by
the Contractor is delivered to the Engineer three (3) days prior to such change.
C. Payment for Labor and Materials: The Contractor agrees to pay promptly for work,
services and labor of every kind, including payments due Subcontractors, for rental
equipment used on the work, for materials that are used in the work, and for labor
and material incidental to the completion of the work. If the Contractor has at any
time failed to pay for work or services of any kind, before final settlement, including
amounts due to labor for Subcontractors, or for rental equipment employed on this
work, or has failed to pay for the materials chargeable to the work, or if the Owner
suspects that such payments have not been made, the Owner may withhold a
sufficient amount to cover any unpaid item until lien waivers or other satisfactory
evidence of payment shall have been exhibited to the Engineer.
d. Protests: If the Contractor considers any work demanded of him to be outside the
Contract requirements, or if he considers any ruling of the Engineer to be unfair, he
shall immediately ask for a written instruction or decision and shall proceed to
perform the work to conform with the Engineer's ruling. If the Contractor considers
such instructions unsatisfactory, he shall,within ten(10)days after their receipt,file a
written protest with the Engineer stating his objections and the reason therefore.
Unless protests or objections are made in the manner specified and within the time
limit stated herein, the Contractor hereby waives all grounds for protests.
e. Claims for Extra Cost: If the Contractor claims that any instructions by drawings or
otherwise issued after the award of the Contract involve extra cost under this
Contract, he shall give the Engineer written notice thereof within a reasonable time
after the receipt of such instructions, and in any event before proceeding to execute
the work, except in an emergency endangering life or property, and the procedure
shall then be as is provided for under changes in the work. No such claim shall be
valid unless so made.
f. Superintendence: The Contractor shall keep on his work during its progress a
competent superintendent and any necessary assistants, all satisfactory to the
Engineer. The superintendent shall not be changed except with the consent of the
Engineer, unless the superintendent proves to be unsatisfactory to the Contractor
and ceases to be in his employ. The superintendent shall represent the Contractor
in his absence and all directions given to him shall be as binding as if given to the
Contractor. Other directions shall be so confirmed on written request in each case.
The Contractor shall give efficient supervision to the work, using his best skill and
attention.
g. Contractor's Right to Terminate Contract: If the work should be stopped under an
order of any court, or other public authority,for a period of three(3) months,through
no act or fault of the Contractor, or of anyone employed by him; or should the Owner
fail to make payments at the times provided in the Contract, the Contractor shall,
seven (7) days after having given notice to the Owner, have the right to suspend
work, or at his option, after thirty(30) days have elapsed from date of said notice in
writing, should the Owner continue to be in default, he may terminate the Contract
00700-12
and recover the price of all work done and materials provided and all damages
sustained. Such failure by the Owner to make payments at the times provided shall
be a bar to any claim by the Owner against the Contractor for delay in completion of
the work provided the delay resulted solely from a suspension of work by the
Contractor because of the Owner's default.
h. Independence of Contractor: The rights of inspection and control of the progress of
the work reserved by the Owner are for the protection of the Owner in assuring that
the work will be done satisfactorily and do not relieve the Contractor in any way from
responsibility for selecting appropriate means of fulfilling his obligations hereunder;
nor shall the Contractor at any time be constituted the agent of the Owner for
completion of the work or any part of it.
17. PROGRESS AND CONTROL OF THE WORK:
a. Prosecution of the Work: Before work is started and materials ordered, the
Contractor shall meet and consult with the Engineer relative to materials, equipment,
and all arrangements for prosecuting the work.
The work shall be prosecuted at such time and in or on such part or parts of the
project and with such forces of workmen, materials, and equipment as may be
required to complete the work provided for in the Contract in a first-class and
acceptable condition within the time limits specified or agreed upon.
The Contractor, if so directed, shall furnish a schedule of expected progress of the
work under the Contract, showing approximately the dates on which each part or
division of the work is expected to be begun and finished. The Contractor shall also,
if so directed, forward to the Engineer as soon as practicable after the first day of
each month,a summary report of the progress of the various parts of the work under
Contract in the mills, shops, and in the field giving the existing status, rate of
progress, estimated time of completion, revisions to the work schedule,and cause of
- delay, if any.
b. Subcontracts: The Contractor shall not sublet or Subcontract any portion of the work
to be done under this Contract until approval of such action has been obtained from
the Owner through the Engineer. The Contractor agrees that he shall remain fully
responsible to the Owner for the acts and omissions of his Subcontractors and of
persons either directly or indirectly employed by them as he is for the acts and
omissions of persons directly employed by him. Nothing contained in the Contract
Documents shall create any Contractual relationship between any Subcontractor and
the Owner.
C. Assignments: Neither party to the Contract shall assign the Contract or sublet it as a
whole without the written consent of the other, nor shall the Contractor assign any
monies due or to become due to him hereunder without the previous written consent
of the Engineer.
18. PAYMENTS TO THE CONTRACTOR:
a. Quantities: The quantities shown in the Proposal (if the Proposal is of unit price
form) and the Advertisement For Bids are approximations only and are for the
00700-13
purpose of comparing bids. Claims shall not be made against the Owner for
excesses or deficiencies, actual or relative, in the final quantities. The Owner
reserves the right to eliminate a part of any item in the Proposal that actual
construction work discloses as being unnecessary and under no circumstances will
the Contractor be paid a unit price different from the unit price in the proposal
because the quantities are different from the quantities in the proposal.
b. Partial Payments: Unless otherwise stipulated in the Special Construction
Provisions, partial payments will be made to the Contractor at monthly intervals.
Monthly payment estimates will be made by the Engineer based upon his estimates
of the approximate amount and value of work completed during the preceding
monthly period. From the total value of work completed the Owner will withhold ten
(10) percent from the monthly payments. When the value of work completed has
progressed to fifty (50) percent of the Contract amount, and in the Owner's opinion
satisfactory progress and quality of work is being maintained, the Owner may elect,
at his sole discretion, not to withhold additional retainage for the remainder of the
work. The ten (10) percent retainage of the value of work completed may be
reinstated if in the Owner's opinion the lack of progress or other substantial reasons
exist. The withheld ten (10) percent of the initial fifty (50) percent of the value of
work shall be retained until the final payment or until the Owner determines the work
is substantially complete and the retainage may be reduced to the amount necessary
to assure completion with written approval of the Surety furnishing bonds. Partial
payments made by the Owner shall not be construed as an acceptance on the part
of the Owner or its Engineer of any part of the work done or of material furnished,but
simply as payments on account.
C. Final Payment: Within a reasonable time after the acceptance of the work, the
Engineer shall certify a final estimate showing the total work done and the amount
due the Contractor therefore. After deducting therefrom all previous payments and
any other amounts to be kept and retained under the provisions of this Contract or as
required by law payment in full shall be made to the Contractor; provided, however,
that payment of the final estimate under this Contract, including the amount of the
retained percentage under the partial estimates, shall not be due or payable until the
Contractor has furnished adequate proof that all claims, liens, or other obligations
incurred in connection with the performance of the work have been properly paid and
settled by him and all of his Subcontractors.
Further, unless stated to the contrary in the Special Construction Provisions, before
the Contractor shall receive or be paid the amount of the Engineer's final estimate,
the Owner will publish in accordance with State statutory provisions, in a public
newspaper of general circulation published in the Counties wherein the work was
contracted for and wherein such work was performed and post at the site of the
work, a notice stating that it has accepted such work as completed according to the
Drawings and Specifications set forth in the Contract, and that final settlement,
therefore, is about to be made and that upon thirty (30) days after the first
publication, specifying the exact date, the Owner will pay the full balance due under
the Contract, and that persons having claims for labor,services, equipment rental,or
material furnished the Contractor shall present their claims to the Owner prior to said
date specified for such payment. This provision is solely for the protection of the
Owner. The Contractor shall have no right or claim by reason of the failure of the
Owner to exercise the privilege set forth in this paragraph.
00700-14
d. Payments Withheld: The Owner has the right to withhold payment or, on account of
subsequently discovered evidence, nullify the whole or a part of any certificate to
such extent as may be necessary to protect himself from loss on account of:
(1) Defective work not remedied.
(2) Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of claims.
(3) Failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors or for
material or labor.
(4) A reasonable doubt that the Contract can be completed for the balance then
unpaid.
(5) Damage to another Contractor.
When the above grounds are removed, payment shall be made for amounts withheld
because of them.
19. RIGHTS OF THE OWNER:
a. Right to Annul Contract: The Owner, at any time, shall have the right to annul the
Contract upon giving written notice to the Contractor. In this event the Contractor
shall be entitled to the full amount of the approved estimate for the work done by him
under the Contract up to the time of such annulment, including the retained
percentage. The Contractor shall be reimbursed by the Owner for such expenditures
as, in the judgment of the Engineer, are not otherwise compensated for, together
with the cost of moving to and from the work, and a reasonable profit on the work
deleted by reason of the annulment of the Contract, in order that an equitable
settlement shall be made with the Contractor. The Contractor's rights to payment
upon annulment are subject to all of the remaining provisions of the Contract
Documents. The Contractor has no greater right to payment upon annulment than it
would otherwise have under the Contract Documents.
b. Right to Terminate Contract: This Contract may be terminated by the Owner at any
time the Contractor is at substantial default hereunder. For the purposes of this
paragraph the term"substantial default"shall mean that the performance of the work
set forth under the Contract is unnecessarily or unreasonably delayed by the
Contractor, or the provisions of this Contract are being or have been violated by the
Contractor or his Subcontractor, and such delay or violation has continued for more
- than five(5)days following written notice to the Contractor of such delay or violation.
Any such termination shall be accomplished by written notice thereof to the
Contractor and the Surety. The termination shall be effective upon the date set forth
in the notice,which date can be, but is not required to be,the same date the notice is
given. The notice of termination shall inform the Surety that the Surety then has the
opportunity to take over and perform the work called for in the Contract Documents,
provided, however,that if the Surety does not commence performance thereof within
ten (10) days from the date of said notice, the Owner may take over the work and,
without prejudice, prosecute the work to completion and the Contractor and his
- 00700-15
Surety shall be liable to the Owner for any excess cost in completing the work and
for damages caused by or arising out of the Contractor's default.
C. Right to Do Work: If the Contractor should neglect to prosecute the work properly or
fail to perform any provision of this Contract,the Owner, after seven (7)days'written
notice to the Contractor, may, without prejudice to any other remedy he may have,
make good such deficiencies and may deduct the cost thereof from the payment
then or thereafter due the Contractor. However,one(1)day's notice will be deemed
sufficient if the subject deficiency involves potential loss of life or property.
d. Right to Accept Portion of the Work: The Owner shall have the right to take
possession of and use any completed or partially completed portions of the work,
notwithstanding that the time for completing the entire work or such portions may not
have expired. However, such taking possession and use shall not be deemed an
acceptance of any work not completed in accordance with the Contract Documents.
If such prior use increases the cost of or delays the work, the Contractor shall be
entitled to such extra compensation or extension of time or both, as the Engineer
may determine.
20. COMPLETENESS OF WORK: The facility(ies)to be installed hereunder is to comprise an
integral part of the system and/or plant controlled by the Owner and, unless the contrary
clearly appears in the Contract Documents, it is understood and agreed that the Contractor
shall be obliged to complete the facility(ies) and to place it in good working order as an
integral part of said system and plant, and his work shall not be complete until he shall have
done so. Before final acceptance, all parts of the work shall be examined and tested if
necessary, and each part shall be in good condition and working order, or shall be placed in
such condition and order at the expense of the Contractor. All tests of completed work and
equipment required under this Contract shall be made under the direction of the Engineer at
the expense of the Contractor, who shall repair at his own expense any damage resulting
therefrom. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Contract Documents, the amount to
be paid for work hereunder shall include all labor, materials,forms,tools, scaffolding, plant,
equipment, services, utilities, royalties, fees, and everything, whether temporary or
permanent, necessary to completion of the work specified herein.
21. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: It is mutually agreed by the parties of this Contract that time is of
the essence of this Contract, and that if the Contractor does not complete the work in the
specified or agreed upon time period (after allowance for any extensions granted by the
Owner as described following), the Contractor shall pay to the Owner as liquidated
damages, and not as penalty, the sum stipulated in the Special Construction Provisions for
each calendar day the Contractor is in default.
The Owner shall have the right to deduct the liquidated damages from any monies due the
Contractor or to sue the Contractor to obtain the compensation for damages stipulated
hereunder.
Extensions of time will be granted the Contractor by the Owner when, in the opinion of the
Engineer, such time delays are beyond the control of the Contractor being due to
circumstances which could not reasonably be foreseen or avoided and not due to
negligence on the part of the Contractor. Examples of delays for which time extensions will
be given are:fire, strikes, and delays or changes ordered by the Owner. Extensions may not
00700-16
be granted on account of unfavorable weather or job conditions, unless specifically approved
by the Engineer.
22. SANITARY REGULATIONS: The Contractor shall be responsible for providing proper
health and sanitation facilities for his employees. Rules and regulations of the State Board
of Health, or other bodies having jurisdiction, shall be fully complied with.
The Contractor shall at all times provide an abundant supply of safe drinking water for his
employees and shall give orders against the use of water in the vicinity of the work, known to
be unsafe. At convenient places the Contractor shall provide fly-proof outside toilets which
are to be maintained in a sanitary condition. Toilets will not be permitted in any water
reservoir area and will not be permitted where they could pollute a water supply.
23. SAMPLES AND TESTS: In the absence of direct references, the sampling and testing of
materials shall be done in accordance with the current accepted methods approved by the
American Society for Testing and Materials or the American Water Works Association.
Tests that are specified or required for approval of source of materials shall be made at the
expense of the Contractor by an independent laboratory whose work and facilities are
approved by the Engineer. Certified copies of reports of such tests shall be furnished in the
required number to the Engineer for his review. Any change in materials or their origin,
method of preparation or manufacture will require new tests and review. Except as provided
in the specifications, tests of completed work required under this Contract shall be made
under the direction of the Engineer by and at the expense of the Contractor who shall repair
at his own expense all damage resulting therefrom.
Before final acceptance, all parts of the work shall be tested and shall be in good condition
and working order, or shall be placed in such condition and order at the Contractor's
expense.
24. CLEANING UP: Upon completion of the work,the Contractor shall remove from the site and
any occupied adjoining property, all plants, buildings, rubbish, unused materials, form
lumber, and other like material belonging to him or his Subcontractors. All privy holes shall
be satisfactorily backfilled. Failure of the Contractor to clean up satisfactorily will result in the
Owner doing the same, and the cost, therefore, will be charged to the account of the
Contractor or his Surety.
25. SALES AND USE TAXES: This project is to be built for a tax exempt municipality;therefore,
the Contractor's bid shall not include sales and use taxes.

frost line. Excavated materials approved for reuse as structural backfill or for
embankments shall be stockpiled by the Contractor. The bottom of the excavation shall
be the bottom of the foundation footings as shown on the drawings; however the slab
shall be over-excavated 6 inches and replaced with graded gravel and sand, as shown
on the drawings, and compacted to at least 98 percent of Standard Proctor dry density
(ASTM D698). When excavation and water control operations have been completed for
a structure, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer, who will contact the Soils Engineer
to inspect the excavation to verify the condition and bearing capacity of undisturbed soil
or bedrock. No backfill, concrete or forms shall be placed until the excavation is
approved. If it is determined by the Soils Engineer that the natural soils are not suitable,
the Contractor shall over-excavate and re-compact with Suitable Stabilization
Materials to the limits directed by the Soils Engineer.
3.2 OVER-EXCAVATION NOT ORDERED OR INDICATED: Any over-excavation carried
below the grade ordered or indicated, shall be backfilled and compacted to the required grade
with the indicated material by the Contractor at the Contractor's expense. The backfill shall be
placed in layers no greater than 8 inches in loose depth and then compacted with mechanical
equipment capable of penetrating and compacting the loose depth layers. Compaction
requirements shall be to receive minimum dry density of 95 percent within 2 percent of optimum
moisture content. Payment for authorized over-excavated and replacement materials shall be at
a price agreed upon prior to commencement of the work.
3.3 BACKFILL— GENERAL:
A. Backfill shall be placed after all water is removed from the excavation, and the trench
sidewalls and bottom have been prepared for compaction per these specifications and
6511739302:2/25/2013 02200-3
STRUCTURE EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL — SECTION 02200
approved by the Engineer. Sloping sides of the excavated space shall be stepped to
prevent wedging action of the backfill against the structure. No backfill shall be placed
around or upon any structure until it is proven that the concrete has attained satisfactory
strength and that the structure as a whole is adequate to receive backfill
3.4 PLACING AND SPREADING OF FILL MATERIALS:
A. Fill materials shall be placed and spread evenly in horizontal layers. When compaction
is achieved using mechanical equipment, the layers shall be evenly spread so that each
compacted layer does not exceed 6 inches in thickness.
B. During spreading, each layer shall be thoroughly mixed as necessary to promote
uniformity of material in each layer.
C. Where the fill material moisture content is below the optimum moisture content, water
shall be added before or during spreading until the uniform moisture content is within 2%
of optimum.
D. Where the backfill material moisture content is greater than 2% above optimum the
material shall be dried until the moisture content is within 2% of optimum. -
3.5 COMPACTION OF FILL, BACKFILL, AND EMBANKMENT MATERIALS:
A. Each layer of fill material shall be mechanically compacted. Equipment that is
consistently capable of achieving the required degree of compaction shall be used and
each layer shall be compacted over its entire area while the material is at the required
moisture content. Permission to use specified compaction equipment shall not be
construed as guaranteeing or implying that the use of such equipment will not damage
adjacent ground, existing improvements, or improvements installed under the Contract.
Flooding, jetting, or ponding will not be allowed for the compaction of any structure
backfill.
B. Compaction Requirements: The following compaction test requirements shall be in
accordance with ASTM D 1557 - Test Method for Laboratory Compaction Characteristics
of Soils Using Modified Effort (56,000 ft - Ibf/ft3) (2,700 kN-m/m3) and in accordance with

A. The area where a fill or embankment is to be constructed shall be cleared of all
vegetation, roots and foreign material. Following this, the surface (except when placed
on rock) shall be moisture conditioned within 2% of optimum, scarified to a depth of
6 inches, and mechanically compacted. Embankment and fill material shall be placed
and spread evenly in approximately horizontal layers. Each layer shall be moistened or
aerated, as necessary. Unless otherwise approved by the Engineer, each layer shall not
exceed 12 inches of compacted thickness within 10 feet of structures, the top 12 inches
of roadways, or over pipelines. The embankment, fill, and the scarified layer of
underlying ground shall be compacted to 95 percent of maximum dry density elsewhere
as determined by ASTM D698.
B. All fill slopes shall be constructed as directed by the Engineer to promote vegetation
growth and minimize surface erosion. Supplemental water, if required, shall be added
by uniform sprinkling on the embankment and will be mixed uniformly throughout the
layers. Compaction shall be accomplished by sheep's-foot rollers, vibratory rollers,
multiple-wheel pneumatic-tired rollers or other types of acceptable compacting
equipment. Compaction shall be continuous over the entire area and the equipment
shall make sufficient passes over the material to insure that the desired density has
been obtained. Contractor shall maintain embankments and slopes until the project is
complete.
3.7 UNSUITABLE MATERIAL REPLACEMENT: At locations where unsuitable or
undesirable conditions are encountered as designated by the Engineer, the Contractor shall
excavate the unsuitable material until stable material is encountered and backfilled with suitable
stabilization material. It is emphasized that water control and dewatering are fundamental
operations during excavation and preparation of the subgrade. No evaluation will be
made in the field as to the suitability of encountered materials until all surface water and
groundwater have been controlled per the specifications. Excavation of unsuitable
materials and replacement with suitable stabilization material that has been authorized by the
Engineer will be paid for through change order.
3.8 GRADES: Rough graded surfaces ready to receive top soil, sod, or seed, crushed rock,
or aggregate base shall be graded to ± 0.2 feet of the plan elevation, except where meeting
curbs, walks, or building entrances, grade to ± 0.1 feet of plan. However, the acceptance of
such irregularities shall not be constructed to reduce the thickness of topsoil, sod, or pavement
specified. Permanent surface water courses shall be constructed to average plan grades and
shall drain completely throughout their length. Finish surfaces shall be ± 0.1 feet of the plan
elevation, and all areas shall be finished so as to drain readily.
3.9 CLEAN-UP: Stockpiled topsoil shall be spread uniformly across all disturbed areas
except roads, and the estimated quantity of topsoil available shall be considered by the
Contractor to set elevations for rough grading of the disturbed areas prior to placing the topsoil.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Smith and the Board of Trustees
From: Joe Fuqua, Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendant
Date: March 27, 2013
Subject: Resolution 2013-04-01
Resolution 2013-04-01 provides for approval of the Pretreatment Dry Lime Feeder Addition contract.
The Pretreatment Addition is necessary at the plant in order to more effectively comply with pH
requirements of our Discharge Permit.
This addition will house the lime chemical feeder and storage space for bulk bags of lime. Currently,
we utilize liquid caustic which is stored in and fed from the pretreatment building. While we've been
able to address pH via this system, it is more costly and carries more personnel risks than Lime, and
the caustic freezes at 50 degrees (this causes us problems even during our summer months).
The project was previous bid last fall, and only one bid was received for $275,000; this bidding cycle
produced two bids with the second being over $200,000.
The need for chemical additions started in 2006, when the treatment plant could not maintain a pH of
6.5 or greater as required by the discharge permit. After much testing and operational changes, two
reasons were found to be the root cause of the problems.
1. Too much dissolved oxygen (D.O.). This problem was fixed with the purchase and
installation of a smaller air pump (blower). This change also saved the treatment plant
about$3,500 a month in electricity costs.
2. The Fraser River Basin water is very low in natural alkalinity. Testing of influent
revealed a shortage of over 150mg/L of alkalinity. Alkalinity in water is a buffer used to
help maintain pH levels.
Here is a quick overview of the treatment process: Influent comes to plant with various levels of
carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus. One pound of carbon is removed with the addition of one pound of
D.O. and about 1 pound of alkalinity. One pound nitrogen ammonia is removed with 4.6 pounds of
D.O. and 7.14 pounds of alkalinity. Alkalinity is increased to the required levels through the addition
of chemicals.

The following chemicals were investigated for safety, storage and the environmental impact, during
our six year wait for State permitting approval:
• Caustic Liquid — Freezes at 50 degrees, burns skin on contact, contains sodium or salts, and
is costly.
• Soda Ash —Contains salts or sodium, and has a higher cost than lime.
• Magnesium Hydroxide — High costs, hard to keep in solution with the cold water here.
• Lime —Calcium is the base and has benefits for the biological life in plants and has the lowest
cost per pound for available alkalinity.
We received a bid of$128,761.50 from J. T. Kopp Construction, although he did fail to include a five
percent (5%) Proposal Guaranty (bid bond) as requested by the bid documents.
Upon review with the Town Attorney, the bid documents and our bidding requirements do make
allowance for the Board to waive the bid bond and award the contract to the lowest bidder.
Along with the JFOC member managers (Bruce Hutchins, GC#1; Kirk Klancke, WPR; Jeff Durbin,
TOF), I recommend a waiver of the bid bond requirement and encourage the Board to award the
contact to J. T. Kopp Construction.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

SUBJECT: 2013 GMCO Chip Seal Contract Extension & Drainage Improvements
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillillillillillillilliillillillilliillillillillillillilliillillillillillillilliillillillillillillilliillillillillillillillillillillilliillillillillillillilliillillillillillillilliillillillillillillillillillillilliillillillillillillilliillillillillillillilliillillillillillillillillillillilliillillillillillillilliillillillillillillilliillillillillillillillillillillilliillillillillillillilliillillillillillillilliillillillillillillillillillillilliillillillillillillilliillillillillillillilliillillillillillillillillillillilliillillillillillillilliillillillillillillillilI
In 2011 the board allocated $250,000 annually over the next three years for street and
drainage improvements. In 2011 we instituted our pavement maintenance program that
included placing a chip and seal application to our road surfaces to provide a wear
surface along with a weather proofing sealant. The program was divided into thirds to
allow the annual funding to be spread out over the three year period with 2013 being the
final phase of the chip seal application. 2011 was the start of the chip seal product to 1/3
of our asphalt roadways in the original sections of Fraser, the oldest asphalt surfaces. In
2012 another 1/3 of the roadways were treated in Rendezvous, Cozens Meadow, and
the Ptarmigan subdivisions including streets just east of US 40. 2013 will be the final
phase of the chip seal application on the remaining streets in the Rendezvous and
Cozens Meadow subdivisions.
Street Maintenance:
The 2013 pavement maintenance program is slated to treat approximately 37,500
square yards of asphalt streets using a 3/8-inch chip seal and fog treatment. This is the
final phase of a 3-year maintenance program which has allowed all of the asphalt street
surfaces in town to receive a uniform surface treatment. The remaining streets to be
treated are in the Rendezvous subdivision, specifically East Mountain Filing 1 B,
Campfire and Discovery Lanes and the Cozens Meadow subdivision, specifically
Meadow Trail, Rifle Shot Trail and Cozens Way. Exhibit A shows the streets to be
treated.
Completing the balance of these streets using the smaller 3/8 inch chip size provides for
a tighter application while providing a smoother, quieter riding surface.
Public Works staff will once again provide assistance with tasks such as pre-washing of
the streets prior to the application, traffic control, and assisting the contractor with
notifications.
Extending the original GMCO, LLC contract to include the additional 2013 street
quantities in the form of a Change Order benefits the Town by allowing us to retain last
year's base pricing, $2.76/square yard, with a slight increase in unit cost for the asphalt
emulsion product of$.04/square yard for a total cost of$2.80/square yard or a total
project amount of$104,500.00. This approach provides significant cost savings in areas
such as document preparation and production, loss of time for the bidding process and
allows the Town to get the work underway and completed much earlier in the summer
n of IC::uIT ,,;e r

avoiding the potential for cooler fall temperatures to interfere with the completion of the
project. GMCO has tentatively scheduled our project to begin in July and will take
approximately one week to complete.
Drainage Improvements:
The final phase of the Wapiti Drive drainage improvements is for the installation of a
`laid-back' concrete curb and gutter to allow storm water run-off to be caught along the
uphill side of the roadway. This pan will tie into the existing edge of the asphalt road mat
thus securing the edge of the roadway in place to prevent further deterioration of the
asphalt edge. This lower section of Wapiti already has significant sections of asphalt that
has been undermined from the effects of erosion from storm water flows. Exhibit B
shows the project area which will complete phase 3 of 3 of the drainage improvements
for Wapiti Drive.
Contract amounts for phase I and 11 of the drainage projects over the last two years have
come in under the engineers estimate so I anticipate the same cost savings for this
project. Completing this final phase of drainage improvements along this section of
roadway is critical to keep the existing asphalt from the eventual and costly failure and
subsequent replacement. This project will be put out for public bidding.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2013-04-02 for the expenditure of funds
for street and drainage improvements in the amount Not-To-Exceed $250,000.

This request is being brought back to the board for consideration since this project was
not completed by the end of the 2012 fiscal year per the approved Resolution No. 2012-
09-02. Our contractor, Browns-Hill Engineering (B-HE), overlooked ordering this
equipment and getting it installed prior to the January 15th, 2013 deadline per the
executed PW Construction Contract.
Original Request from August 22, 2012:
This request for approval for the expenditure of$11,800.00 is to add a new radio
transmitting unit (RTU) to the Well No. 7 site. These controls are consistent with what
we currently utilize throughout our water systems.
Following the completion of our Water Meter Vault Rehabilitation project in 2009 at well
site No. 7, it was discovered that the control wiring had been compromised and no
longer provides the necessary communication signals to allow the well to operate in
`auto' mode.
It is uncertain as to the exact cause; however, we speculate that since we have been
experiencing ongoing communication problems from this well over the past few years
that the wiring finally failed for good. This well had some routine maintenance performed
on it a couple of months ago such as acid cleaning and it was pump tested at 90 gpm.
We have been operating it in `hand' mode ever since in an effort to avoid bio-fouling of
the intake screens until the communication link can be restored. In an effort to keep this
well on-line and producing water, it is imperative that a communication link be restored
as soon as possible.
As a component of our SCADA system these RTU's `talk' to the Master Water Town Hall
computer HMI (human-machine interface) in order for our water system to be fully
automated.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2013-04-04 for the expenditure of
$11,800 related to the 2013 Water System Improvement Project.

Public works staff performs a wide variety of tasks that can sometimes be hampered by
the lack of proper equipment to perform tasks in a timely and efficient manner. They are
often challenged by making things work with the limited specialty tools in their `tool box'.
In addition, several of our specialty tools such as our backhoe and street sweeper are of
a vintage age and though they aren't used on a daily basis they are still necessary
pieces of equipment to keep our town assets well maintained. Below is a description of
two pieces of equipment that I feel are necessary to have in our fleet in order to
accomplish our maintenance tasks efficiently, effectively and in a safe manner.
Mini Excavator and Attachments:
Following a review of the past 24 months of excavator track hoe rentals along with
several days of use of Winter Parks excavator (soft dollars had we been paying to rent)
we have spent over $9,200 in a two-year period renting this specialty equipment.
In 2011-12 public works rented a mini excavator for various trail maintenance projects
along the Fraser River trail to include bridge abutment stabilization, repairing sloughs,
clearing culverts and dredging logs and other such items from the stream bed. During
the Fraser River trail extension project staff shared the Town of Winter Parks mini-ex to
work on Fraser's side of the trail extension. From time-to-time staff borrows WP's mini-
ex to complete other projects such as exposing and repairing sewer man holes, valve
box repairs, landscaping needs such as placing large boulders and planting (removal) of
trees and clearing plugged culverts throughout town and tree slash removal.
By owning our equipment there is a cost saving in both time and dollars when it comes
to sending staff to the rental store to pick-up/drop-off the equipment, daily sometimes,
and it also allows staff to stay on projects longer with fewer interruptions. In addition, by
owning this equipment we would be able to reduce expenses related to certain projects
that are budgeted using contractors such as sewer man hole repairs and water valve
repairs.
Purchasing used equipment offers some benefits specifically related to equipment
depreciation since that hit is realized by the original purchaser. If one is fortunate enough
to be provided maintenance records that information can certainly give one some
n of IC::uIT ,4;e r
0 II.ox ,370 Il eraser, CO 80442 office 970 726...549`1 fax 9 70...726...5518
knowledge of the type of maintenance the machine has received and that we're not
buying a bucket of bolts. Major repairs on heavy equipment are usually quite costly.
The Public works Street Supervisor researched several machines, both new and used,
on the internet and locally and found that there isn't much available. Auctions can be a
great way to get used equipment but typically don't come with warranties or the number
of useful attachments that a new quote can offer. Although used pricing is lower than
new, many of these units had high hours of operation and were in need of a few
thousand dollars in repairs once purchased.
The price quote we received for this mini-ex is a municipal offering that is discounted
36% below list, or what it is sold for to the general public. One benefit of purchasing new
over used for this type of equipment is that municipalities don't pay sales tax, so we
don't actually see the direct hit of the 15-20% depreciation once the equipment leaves
the show room and end up with an approximate additional 15% savings. This quoted unit
includes a total of eight (8) attachments to include additional buckets, compactor wheel
and a hydraulic `thumb' along with a grading bucket that will allow staff to shape
drainage swales properly.
Bobcat Excavator municipal discount pricing of$30,443 includes 7 separate attachments
at a cost of$6,695 for a total purchase price of$37,138, includes freight and handling.
Staff recommendation for approval of Resolution No. 2013-04-05 for the expenditure of
funds in the amount of$37,138.00 for a new Bobcat Compact Excavator as quoted by
Bobcat of the Rockies, quote #16426D016479.
Street Sweeper:
It is public works responsibility to maintain and protect our public roadways from
untimely and unnecessary repairs and replacement. This is a goal the public works staff
is proud of, having clean streets throughout town proving a caring and professional
appearance while minimizing unnecessary wear and tear to the street surfaces.
Our current street sweeper is a used 1992 Athey Top Gun mechanical sweeper that was
purchased in 1999 and has over 7,600 hours, 26,000 miles and thousands of dollars in
dealer and staff time repairs into this 21 year old unit. During the 14 years that Fraser
has owned this unit, public works staff has made valiant efforts to keep this sweeper well
maintained and operational. Despite all of those efforts and dollars spent on this
antiquated machine the fact remains that repair parts are no longer available, and that
this unit is nearing the end of its useful life most likely this summer. Stated simply, its
terminal!
For both operational and safety considerations it is past time to upgrade to a more
modern piece of equipment that will properly function to clean the streets of Fraser and
something that provides a safe and healthy environment for the operators running this
equipment. It is anticipated that this equipment will have a 12-15 year life span.
Outlined below are five options for consideration:
Option 1 — Purchase of a new 2013 street sweeping unit on a 5-year government
financed program at a cost of$293,980 or approximately $61,800/year annual payment.
Delivery of this unit would be in the fall of'13.
n of IC::uIT ,,;e r
II.ox370 Il eraser, CO 80442 office 970 726...549`1 fax 9 70...726...5518
Option 2— Purchase of a new 2012 Demo street sweeping unit (full warranty) on a 5-
year government financed program at a cost of$238,500 or approximately $50,000/year
annual payment. Delivery of this unit would be following signing of contract, if still
available.
Option 3— Purchase a used (10-12 year old) sweeper unit in the range of$100,000 to
$135,000. These units are typically municipal units traded-in on new units that should
have maintenance records. The mechanical sweeper component of these trade-in units
can be rebuilt so that the life of the sweeper is extended for several years.
Option 4—Contract with a local parking lot sweeping company at a rate of$100/hour.
Based on past sweeping habits (current Athey sweeper) it takes approximately 315
hours to perform the `initial clean-up' of the streets in town in the spring. At $100/hour
that's a total of$31,500 for just the first trip out. Public works typically sweeps the streets
twice a week on a rotating schedule throughout the summer months.
Option 5— Finally, the do nothing approach which is the least favorable option and one
that I strongly recommend against.
Staff recommendation for approval of Resolution No. 2013-04-06 for the expenditure of
funds in the amount of$293,980 for the purchase of a street sweeper for the public
works department, specifically a 2013 Street Sweeper, on a 5-year municipal finance
lease purchase program with the most viable financing option as determined by the
finance manager.

Finance Update: 04/17/2013
Prepared: 04/10/2013
Transmitted with this week's packet are the Town's March Financial Statements as well as
February's Sales Tax Report.
As you remember January's adjusted sales tax collections were up nearly 10.5%, February's
adjusted collections dropped to just half a percent. Winter Park had an 8% increase in their
February collections and after discussing this with Mr. Bill, it appears Winter Park's number was
right on —not unduly influenced by receipts belonging to other months or years (which we adjust
for). All of our large submitters were collected for February, so I do not expect to see a huge
adjustment back to February from March receipts. So an anomaly we have for the month of
February, one which I will continue to ponder as time permits. Bottom line, we are still running
roughly 9% up in collections year-to-date over this time period last year(Jan. and Feb.).
No other big news to report, doing the normal quarter-end and weekly duties, continuing the work
on the audit draft, and keeping up with the increase in meetings at this point.
As always please contact me with any questions or concerns you might have: 726-5491 X206 or
at nhavensa-town.fraser.co.us.

PUBLIC WORKS UPDATE
(As of 04/11/2013 for 04/17 meeting)
WATER—
Fraser Valley Elementary: The Fire Chief for EGFPD #4 confirmed with me on Saturday March 30th that
the EGSD had successfully interconnected the two fire suppression systems and that EGFPD has
inspected and approved said modifications. This work was completed on March 26th. The EGSD also
made some additional modifications to their water service line on the east side of their building and
corrected/improved the feed into the fire system. TOF has inspected the service line work.
➢ The water service line to the school in Norgren apparently thawed over the weekend of 3/29 and water
was again flowing to the school building on Monday April 1. PW Staff performed a bacterial water test
on this line prior to placing it back into service.
➢ Please see the Public Works supplemental briefing for the request to re-approve the purchase of the
telemetry system for Well No.7.
SANITARY SEWER—
Ordinance 404 status- Trustee Naill's question at the last meeting confirming that the language as
written in this ordinance is consistent throughout the municipal code; we are progressively working on
updating the sanitary sewer utility language to reflect consistency with the water utility language. During
the consolidation of the FSD into the Town, the sewer section language was taken directly from the
District's code and inserted into the Fraser Municipal Code to expedite the consolidation process.
Though this update has been on our work plan for some time now, it has certainly taken the back seat
to getting completed. Thanks to Trustee Naill for bringing this matter to our attention. We intend to bring
the updated revisions back to the board as soon as the updates are completed.
➢ Please see the Public Works supplemental briefing for the request to expend funds for the 2013 annual
sewer collection system Video Inspection and Maintenance program. Estimated date for this year's
project would be late May into June. As a consent agenda item, please contact me in advance of
the meeting if you have any questions
STREETS—
Please see the Public Works supplemental briefing outlining the 2013 Street Improvements Projects
and the request to expend funds to complete our 3-year pavement maintenance program. Estimated
date for this year's construction project would be late June/July.
➢ Please see the Public Works supplemental briefing for discussion and a request to expend funds for the
purchase of a new compact excavator (track hoe) with attachments and for discussion and a request to
expend funds for the purchase of a street sweeper.
GARDENER—
Planning efforts continue for improvements to the `Mustang Triangle' (Sharkey's) to include a survey,
locate of underground utilities and site design.
➢ Seasonal gardeners will be starting in May.
QTH ER-
➢ PW's return seasonal laborers will begin in mid May to assist our utilities staff with completing water
and sewer inspection and maintenance programs.
➢ Roland Rick Driveway Easement Request: I had hoped to have this discussion ready to present at this
meeting; however, we are currently working through some minor corrections and adjustments to this
request. We intend to bring this back for the May 15th regular meeting.

changes to the way the NFIP is run. As the law is implemented, some of these changes have
already occurred, and others will be implemented in the coming months. Key provisions of the
legislation will require the NFIP to raise rates to reflect true flood risk, make the program more
financially stable, and change how Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) updates impact policyholders.
The changes will mean premium rate increases for some—but not all -- policyholders over time.
Background:
In 1968, Congress created the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Since most homeowners'
insurance policies did not cover flood, property owners who experienced a flood often found
themselves financially devastated and unable to rebuild. The NFIP was formed to fill that gap. To
ensure the program did not take on unnecessary risks, one of the key requirements to participate in the
program was that communities had to adopt standards for new construction and development.
Pre-existing homes and businesses, though, could remain as they were. Owners of many of these older
properties could obtain insurance at lower, subsidized, rates that did not reflect the property's real risk.
In addition, as the initial flood risk identified by the NFIP has been updated over the years, many homes
and businesses in areas where the revised risk was determined to be higher have also received
discounted rates. This "Grandfathering" approach prevented rate increases for existing properties
when the flood risk in their area increased.
Fast forward 45 years, flood risks continue and the costs and consequences of flooding are increasing
dramatically. In 2012, Congress passed legislation to make the National Flood Insurance Program
more sustainable and financially sound over the long term.
What this means:
The new law eliminates some artificially low rates and discounts which are no longer sustainable. Most
flood insurance rates will reflect full risk, and flood insurance rates will rise on some policies.
Actions such as buying or selling a property, or allowing a policy to lapse, can trigger rate changes. You
should talk to your insurance agent about how changes may affect your property and flood insurance
policy. There are investments you and your community can make to reduce the impact of rate changes.
And FEMA can help communities lower flood risk and flood insurance premiums.
What is Changing ow?
Most rates for most properties will more accurately reflect risk. Subsidized rates for non-
primary/secondary residences are being phased out now. Subsidized rates for other classes of
properties will be eliminated over time, beginning in late 2013. There are several actions which can

trigger a rate change, and not everyone will be affected. It's important to know the distinctions and
actions to avoid, or to take, to lessen the impacts.
Not everyone will be affected immediately by the new law—only 20 percent of NFIP policies receive
subsidies. Talk to your agent about how rate changes could affect your policy.
• Owners of non-primary/secondary residences in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)will see
25 percent increase annually until rates reflect true risk—began January 1, 2013.
• Owners of property which has experienced severe or repeated flooding will see 25 percent
rate increase annually until rates reflect true risk— beginning October 1, 2013.
• Owners of business properties in a Special Flood Hazard Area will see 25 percent rate
increase annually until rates reflect true risk-- beginning October 1, 2013.
Owners of primary residences in SFHAs will be able to keep their subsidized rates unless or until:
• You sell your property;
• You allow your policy to lapse;
• You suffer severe, repeated, flood losses; or
• You purchase a new policy.
Grandfathering Changes Expected in 2014
The Act calls for a phase-out of discounts, including grandfathered rates, and a move to risk-based
rates for most properties when the community adopts a new Flood Insurance Rate Map. So if you live
in a community that adopts a new, updated Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), discounts—including
grandfathered rates--will be phased out. This will happen gradually, with new rates increasing by 20%
per year for five years. Implementation is anticipated in 2014.
What Can Be Done to Lower Costs?
For home owners and business owners:
• Talk to your insurance agent about your insurance options.
• You'll probably need an Elevation Certificate to determine your correct rate.
• Higher deductibles might lower your premium.
• Consider remodeling or rebuilding.
• Building or rebuilding higher will lower your risk and could reduce your premium.
• Consider adding vents to your foundation or using breakaway walls.
• Talk with local officials about community-wide mitigation steps.
For community officials:
• Consider joining the Community Rating System (CRS) or increasing your CRS activities to lower
premiums for residents.
• Talk to your state about grants. FEMA issues grants to states which can distribute the funds to
communities to help with mitigation and rebuilding.
