4. MARCY GULCH DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS AND SIPHON REP AIRS
ON CITY DITCH.
A Master Plan of Drainage for March Gulch was originally prepared in 1985 for the
Marcy Gulch drainage basin in Highlands Ranch. Urban Drainage, Centennial Water and
Sanitation District and the City of Englewood now wish to proceed with design and
construction of the drainage and flood control improvements for this area. Erosion has
exposed the City Ditch siphon pipe and the coming spring runoff could cause
Englewood's existing siphon structure to fail. This would create an emergency situation
because water could not be delivered to either Highlands Ranch or the Allen Filter Plant.
Urban Drainage and Flood Control is proposing to construct a new spillway to replace the
existing City Ditch pipe with 66" reinforced concrete pipe and a new inlet and outlet
structure. Enlarging this pipe to 66" will allow the City Ditch to carry up to 75 cfs of raw
water.
In the Amendment to the Agreement, Urban Drainage has agreed to pay 50% of the
drainage construction costs, which is $114,000. Centennial and Englewood will each pay
25% of the drainage construction costs -$57,000 each. Centennial will pay for the siphon
enlargement costs of $64,000. Englewood will pay $2,000 for the new 12" gate valve,
replacing the old gate valve.

5. CLOUD SEEDING OPERATION FOR WINTER OF 2003-04.
Englewood participated in Denver's cloud seeding program last winter and plans to
continue the program for the winter of 2003-2004 . Using the same participation
percentages as last year, Denver has calculated Englewood's contribution to the program
to be $3,200 .00. The Board concurred that Englewood should continue to participate in
the cloud seeding operation.
6. TAMPA TIMES ARTICLE DATED 1-10-04, "DESAL PLANT MIRED IN
STANDOFF."
Mr. Fonda discussed an article from the Tampa Times discussing Tampa Bay Water
Department ordering the desalination plant to shut down for a month. Covanta Tampa
Construction, which is operating the plant, refuses to turn it off. Stu discussed important
issues that this standoff creates.
7 . ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS ARTICLE DATED 1-29-04.
Mr. Fonda discussed an article from the Rocky Mountain News about a new fee from the
State of Colorado to be collected from utilities, cities and others with water rights for the
State Division of Water Resources. Mr. Fonda noted that our water attorney and water
engineer are investigating the validity of the fees charged to Englewood.
8. LITIGATION WITH THORNTON RIGHTS ON THE PLATTE RNER.
David Hill and Joe Tom Wood appeared to discuss a proposed filing that was noted in the
Colorado Resumes for filing on water rights. David Hill noted that this case could be of
major significance to Englewood. Metro Sewer District is proposing to build another
wastewater treatment plant on the Platte River, north of their existing plant. The case
would affect Thornton's senior ditch right return flows. Englewood may have to cut back
its water to satisfy senior ditch calls . 300 to 400 acre-feet of Englewood's senior rights
are at stake . Mr. Hill will keep the Board apprised of any developments.
The next Water and Sewer Board meeting will be Tuesday, March 9, 2004 at 5:00 p.m. in
the Community Development Conference Room.
The meeting adjourned at 6:15 p.m.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Agenda Item Subject
Tank repairs to the two
Clarkson St. 3-Million-Gallon
Reservoirs
STAFF SOURCE
Stewart H. Fonda, Director of Utilities
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Council approved the roof rehabilitation of the of the 6-million-gallon reservoir on August 21,
2000 in the amount of $77,325.00 to ABCO Contracting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Englewood Water and Sewer Board recommended Council approval, by motion, of the
bid award for the tank repairs of the two Clarkson Street 3-million-gallon reservoirs to RN Civil
Construction in the amount of $201, 173.00.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
The two Clarkson Street 3-miilion gallon covered reservoirs, located two blocks east of the
intersection of Clarkson and Sunset Ridge in the City of Greenwood Village, were originally
constructed in 1952 and 1956 as a water storage facility for treated water for the City of
Englewood. The tanks provide fire protection and back-up water during power outages for
Englewood's Zone 1, which encompasses 2/3 of the City.
The east storage reservoir was overhauled in 1993 . Part of storage reservoir maintenance
requires a thorough inspection every five years. In January, 2003 COM did an extensive
inspection of the two 3-million-gallon tanks, and some additional repairs were completed on
the east tank roof slab. COM is recommending that the concrete roof and venting be repaired
on the west tank and the valves and hatches be replaced on both tanks. The concrete on
these tanks have been deteriorating, and if left unrepaired, will become more extensive. The
50-year old valves must be replaced to isolate the tanks and hatches replaced for access
before other repairs can be made.
Requests for Bid were received from five vendors for the Clarkson Street Reservoir Roof and
Valve Modifications.
Five responses were received:
Glacier Construction
Premier Spec. Cont.
COM Constructors
Lillard & Clark Construction
RN Civil Construction
$318,020.00
$265,243.00
$247,061.12
$227,915.00
$201, 173.00
Steve Price from COM reviewed the bids and recommends RN Civil Construction be awarded
the contract in the amount of $201, 173.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The original 2004 budgeted amount was $150,000.00 before the engineer's new design
estimate of $250,000 was received. A bid opening was held on March 1, 2004 and RN Civil
Construction was the lowest, acceptable bidder in the amount of $201, 173.00. In the 2004
Budget, this money was allocated under#40-1603-61251. Extra funds are available in the
Utilities ' fund balance .

Subject: Review of Bids for the Clarkson Street Reservoir Roof and Valve Modifications
Dear Mr. McCon:nick:
As requested. CDM completed a brief review of the bids for the above referenced project. This
letter lists the actions taken to complete this review. COM completed the follo'"''ing items to
evaluate this firm1s capability to complete !:his project
• Evaluated the copy of the bid documents submitted to the City of Englewood on Marcil 1,
2004
• Verified the total from the Bid Items equals the Total Base Bid amount
• Contacted each of the three references listed
• Discussed the bid amount with RN Civil Construction
The bid package included the reqWI'ed Bid Bond and reference information. Based on the
evaluation of the bid forms received, it is our opinion that RN Civil Construction submitted a
responsive bid. Also, the Total Base Bid equaled the sum of the Bid Items. The following
summarizes the .findings from discussions with the three listed references:
• All three Owners used as references provided positive feedback on the two main principals
for RN Gvil Construction.
• Two oi the projects used as references were completed by the principals of RN Civil
Construction when they were employed by another general construction firm, Lillard and
Oark Construction Company, Inc.
• Ri.'\J Civil Construction has been in buslness for about 2 years. They colnpleted a $4,200,000
for the Town of Silt in December 2003.

Re: State Engineer's Administrative Fees
Job #159.1
Attached is a copy of Joe Pershin's letter for you to sign regarding the City of
Englewood response to the State Engineer's Water Administration Fees. We have reviewed
both the State Engineer 's fees and Englewood's response, and we recommend that you sign
the response and send it to the State Engineer.
Before you submit the response, we need to make you aware of how Joe Pershin and
we formulated the response.
First and easiest. we recommend appealing the $100 fee on each of Englewood's 44
decreed Denver Basin Aquifer wells, because the statute applies to owners "of an absolute
water right that has been adjudicated for: (I) direct flow in an amount of at least one cubic
foot per second; (and) (ll) storage in an amount of at least one hundred acre-feet."
Englewood's Denver Basin Aquifer rights, in our opinion, do not constitute direct flow or
storage rights.
Second, the State Engineer billed Englewood .for certain of her park and golf course
wells. We recommend appealing these fees, because these are not direct flow or storage
. rights.
Third, the State Engineer billed Englewood for only two of her Ranch Creek
Collection System rights because the statute is set up so that Englewood may appeal those
rights listed by the State Engineer, we recommend that Englewood pay the fees for the two
R.:anch Creek rights which the State Engfueer listed. If the State Engineer chooses to amend
its list later by adding the remaining and correctly identified Ranch Creek rights, then we
would I'C(:ommend that Englewood pay those fees at ~t time.
Fourth, foe Pershin 's letter identifies several rights simply not owned by Englewood.
Englewood should appeal these fees.· . · ·

Fifth, the State Engineer billed Englewood for 'the Como Reservoir riibt,. which is
conditional, not absolute. Englewood should appeal this fee, as it is not absolute per the
statUtc.

The City of Englewood respectfully submits this list of water rights that should not be included in the
February 1, 2004 statement from the Colorado Division of Water Resources concerning payment of

The grounds for protest are that none of the water rights listed in Section I belong to the City of
Englewood , the wells listed in Sections II and lll are not decreed for direct flow or storage and Section IV
contains an adjudicated conditional water right The rights listed in Sections II and Ill are not subject
to the legislation. Section V is not water rights being appealed , rather clarification of information.

P. 03
As set forth in detail below, there are 44 wells that were erroneously inciuded in 1he statement. These
wells are not decreed for direct flow or storage. Fees were assessed against Englewood for •storage
rfghts11 for 1he following wells:
LA-3, LA-4, LA-5, LA-6, LA-7,LA..S, LA-11, l.A-12. LF-1, LF-2. LF-3, LF-4. LF-5, LF-6, U:..7, LF-8, LF-9,

UA-1, UA-2. UA-3, UM, UA-5, UA-6 1 UA-7, UA-8, UA-9, UA-11, UA-12, LA-1. No water is being stored
by Englewood at these locations, and 1herefore the provisions of Secilon 37-a<l-121 do not apply aid no
fees for water storage may be assessed.
C.R.S. Section 37-80-121 provides thatfeea are to be ~sassed as follows:
(2)(a) On and after the effective date of this seetiOn, an owner shall
be subject to an annual water adminisV.aticn fee ln Ile following
amounts:
(I) For direct flow water that has bee adjudicated for: .
(A} Agricultural irrigation, recharge, or stock water use, ten dollars
for each decreed water right
(B) For di'ect flow water that is not subject to su~subpr.1graph (A}
of this subparagraph (1), two hundred fifty dollars for each decreed
water right
(II) For stored water that hu bttn adJudicattd for:
(A) Agricultural irrigation, recharge, or stock water use, twenty five
dollars for each decreed water righ~
(B) For stored water flow that Is not subject to sub-subparagraph (A)
of this subparagraph (II), one hundred doUa11 for each decraed
water right;
(b) an owner:
(Q Shall pay the fee within thirty days of the date the fee assessment
is received;
............. , ...... .
With regard to the foregoing language, the relevant inquiry is how is stored water defined? The
provisions of Section 37-80-121 do not contain a definition of vmat is meant by storage. However,
this term is defined elsewhere. Section 37-92-103(10.7) defines storage as follows:
(10.7) 'Storage• or "store" means the impoundment. possession, and
control of water by means ot a dam. Waters in underground storage
aquifers are not In storage or stored except to the extent 1he waters
in such aquifers are placed there by other than natural means wHh
water to which the person placing such water in the underground
aquifer has a condittonal or decreed right

P. 04
From the foregoing language, it is evident 1hat wdH' which exists in an undetgr<>Und aquifer is not
•stored' unless the waters are ptacad there by some mechanism other than natural means. Englewood
has been ~sed storage tees for water that, pursuant to Section 37 -92-103 has not been stared.
The underground water simply exists there frcm natural causes, and Englewood has taken no action
nor implemented any mechanism to store this water. Therefore 1hesa stlrage fees have been
improperly assessed ag~t Eng~wood far~ afQ~ntioned welts.
The fee for each of these 44 wells is $100 • ~.
