RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Englewood Water and Sewer Board , at their April 14 , 2015 meeting , recommended
Council approval , by Ord inance , of the contract w ith Mclaughlin Whitewater Design Group.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
Big Dry Creek discharges into the S. Platte River about 300 yards above the wate r intake at
the Union Ave . Pump Station . The Big Dry Creek project would give the option of allowing
water to bypass the intake structure. This bypass would alleviate hardness issues during low
flow periods in the river. A structure for this purpose had existed but was destroyed during the
1965 flood.
The proposed contract authorizes Mclaughlin Whitewater Design Group to perform
Alternative Analysis, Preliminary Des ign and Spec ial Services. The Special Services include
base mapping and support during the preliminary permitting process with the U .S . Army Corp
of Engineers.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The contract amount is $78 ,435 .00. The full contract amount will be funded from the
$600 ,000 received from the Denver Water Boa rd Settlement. The settlement st ipulates that
the funds be dedicated to alleviating water hardness at the Allen Water Treatment Plant.

RE: Professional Services Proposal
Big Dry Creek Diversion Replacement -Englewood Colorado
Dear Mr. Brennan:
Mclaughlin Whitewater Design Group (MWDG}, a Division of Merrick & Company, is submitting
this scope of work and budget to complete professional services for the above referenced
project . The work will include Alternatives Analysis, Preliminary Design and Special Services.
MWDG is proposing to team with ERO (permitti ng} and Aztec Survey (mapping}.
BACKGROUND
A major flood in 1965 caused w ide-spread damage along the South Platte River. Englewood 's
diversion structure at the confluence of Big Dry Creek and South Platte River was destroyed .
MWDG met with you and Dave Coffman on site on February 10t h to discuss the replacement of
the diversion. Project purpose and objectives discussed:
• Purpose: Improve raw water quality at Englewood's primary drinking water intake on
the South Platte River at Union Avenue. Water quality, particularly Hardness, in Big Dry
Creek is poor creating treatment issues.
• Objective: Divert flows from Big Dry Creek (approximately 5 cfs} year-round and
discharge below primary drinking water intake at Union Avenue .
Additional items discussed included:
• The City has contact the USACE regarding CWA 404 permitting. The USACE indicated
that a permit will likely be required and suggested the City work with a permitting
specialist .
• Flood Conveyance -FEMA Flood Hazard Zones have been mapped on Big Dry Creek.
MWDG anticipates that the proposed project will need to meet "no-rise" criteria.

2 -z.
• Urban Dr a inage and Flood Control District has completed a master p lan for Big Dry
Creek includ i ng bank and channel stabilization. MWDG suggests that UDFCD be
approached for possible partnering and integration of master plan improvements with
diversion work.
• Hardness not from an iden tified po i nt source -likely from soil exfiltration throughout
basin and urbani zation.
• There are no water users b etween the confluence and proposed d ischa rge locatio n
besides Eng lewood .
SCOPE
Professional services scope of work has been divided into Special Services and Preliminary
Design.
Special Services
Task 1: Permitting Support
MWDG and design team {ERO) will provide the City support during the preliminary
permitting process for the following permits during this phase of work:
• CWA Section 404 -MWDG will support ERO's {subconsultant to MWDG) 404
permitting effort by providing project information, such as narratives of project
purpose and improvements, sketches, and assistance with in itial consult with
USACE. Initial meetings will be held with the USACE. A permitting strategy will
be developed based on information gathered and consult with USACE. Final
permitting including formal applications would be completed in a future phase
{Final Design). Specific tasks that will be completed for CWA permitting are as
follows:
o Wetland Delineation
o Endangered Species Act Compliance
o Meetings with Regulators
o Prepare Pre-construction Notification to the USACE
o Prepare Hydrologic Depletions Analysis
o Project Coordination
• Floodplain -MWDG will coordinate with the City's Floodplain administrator Allen
White to determine required permitting and analysis.
Refer to Attachment C for the detai led permitting tasks and del iverables for the CWA
404 perm it {ERO 's scope).
Deliverables :
1. Coordinate, prepare for, and attend one meeting with USA CE w/ meeting notes.
2-3
2. Support Documents 404 Permits (for ERO) -project descriptions, write-ups,
sketches, assistance with initial consult with USACE
3. See Attachment Cfor additional CWA 404 deliverables .
4. Coordinate, prepare for, and attend one meeting with Englewood Floodplain
Administrator w/ meeting notes.
Task 2: Stakeholder/Owner Engagement
It appears there are three primary Owners/Stakeholders in the project area -South
Suburban Parks and Recreation District (trail/bridge at Big Dry Creek), Colorado Water
Conservation Board (River Owner), and Urban Drainage and Flood Control District
MWDG would coordinate and attend three meetings with these entities to present the
proposed project. Meeting objectives would include identifying partnering
opportunities, ownership/easements, and any project requirements.
Deliverables:
1. Attendance at three {3} Stakeholder/Owner meetings.
2. Meeting materials (e.g. Power Point presentations, sketch/drawings)
3. Meeting notes
Task 3: Base Mapping
MWDG will complete topographic and bathymetric survey for the creek bottom, banks,
and top of banks from the confluence with South Platte River to east side of Sante Fe
Boulevard. Detailed ground survey will be conducted in diversion area. Cross sections
at approximately 200 foot intervals will be surveyed along the creek upstream of the
project area for flood and hydraulic analysis. MWDG completed survey work as part of
the River Run Park project. Mapping from that project will be combined with new
mapping for a complete base map for the project. Control points will be set . A private
utility locate service will be h i red to "paint" existing utilities for survey. Englewood to
provide MWDG any available utility information in the project area. Potholing of
utilities will be completed by the City as needed based on preferred alternative.
Property ownership and easement research will be conducted by a title search with
limited field survey work to delineate approximate property lines and easements for
design purposes . In areas where research indicates property lines are close to
improvements or construction access will be needed additional field work may be added
by the City to more accurately locate property lines. Easements and property lines will
be added to base mapping.
Deliverables: -Site Base Map w/ Property Lines & Easements (approximate)
2 -'-/
Preliminary Design Phase
Two concept alternatives will be developed for the diversion and conveyance systems.
Preliminary design will be completed for the City selected alternative . The following tasks will
be completed for this phase
Task 4: Coordination Meetings
Conduct meetings with City of Englewood during preliminary design phase for
coordination and review. Meetings will focus on project requirements, operations,
proposed designs, utility conflicts, permitting and approval processes .
Deliverables :
1. Conduct three {3} meetings
2. Meeting Agendas & Minutes
Task 5: Flood Analysis
The project requires a flood submittal and analyses. Proposed improvements that could
affect flood conveyance including diversion and intake structure will be analyzed . One
dimensional hydraulic modeling will be performed using HEC-RAS software. A Flood
Insurance Study has been completed by FEMA along Big Dry Creek. It is assumed that
the City has the Effective FEMA HEC-RAS model in electronic form and that no
significant changes within the reach have been made since the effective date (i.e.
Existing and Corrected Effective Models are the same). MWDG will perform the flood
analysis using this model.
Deliverables:
1. Flood Analysis including a no -rise certification per FEMA requirements . A CLOMR
or LOMR is not included.
Task 6: Diversion Hydraulic Analysis
The hydraulic analysis will entail closed conduit hydraulics of the diversion piping,
analysis of the intake and bar rack. This will establish the required control section
elevations. The low-flow hydraulics of the main channel structure including low flow
notch and control section will then be conducted.
Deliverables:
1 . None (analysis summary and results included in Task 8}
Task 7: Alternative Concepts
It is anticipated that the general layout and alignment of the drop structure and pipeline
will present no significant alternates or options. These will be developed to a schematic
z -S
level in this Task to support the development/selection of the intake design. Two
alternatives are anticipated for the intake -a side spill with fixed crest control and an
intake with an inline gate or adjustable cres t control.
Deliverables:
Concept Drawings (Hardcopies {3}, Electronic files (PDFs))
-Total Estimated Sheets:~
-Diversion & Intake Plans: 2
-Plan & Profiles: 1
Task 8: Preliminary Design
The alternative selected by the City will be further developed to a preliminary design
level. The designs will integrate with improvements currently being planned along this
reach by MWDG. The drawings will be created in AutoCAD using MWDG's standard
format. A technical memorandum will be written and include the basis of design,
recommendations for final design, and an opinion of probable cost .
Deliverables:
1. Preliminary Drawings {Hardcopies (3), Electronic files (PDFs})

ERO RESOURCES CORPOR.\TW:X'S PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK
BIG DRY CREEKDIHRSIO:'\
SECTIO:'\ 40.t PER\IITIEG
FEBRUARY 23, 2015
i\icLaughlin \\1J.itewater Design Group (Client), on behalf of the City of Englewood
(City) requested that ERO Resources Corporation (ERO) prepare a scope of services to
perfonn ecological services for a proposed diversion of Big Dry Creek at the confluence
\vith the South Platte River in Englewood, Colorado. The proposed project will require
impacts to wetlands and other waters of the U.S along Big Dry Creek. Based on
preliminary project information, it is likely Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
authorization from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is required. ERO will
perfom1 the following tasks to assist the Client with Section 404 pem1itting.
Task 1: Wetland Delineation
ERO Resources will evaluate the overlook project area for wetlands or other potential
waters of the U.S. Areas \\·ith wetland indicator species will be investigated for soil and
hydrologic indicators . Wetlands will be delineated following the methods in the revised
online version of Corps· Wetland Delineation Manual (1987) and appropriate regional
supplement. Open water and channels will be dctemiined based on the presence of an
ordinary high water mark as defined in 33 CFR Part 328. The boundaries of wetlands,
open water, and channels will be mapped to sub-meter accuracy by ERO using a Global
Positioning System (GPS). or, when appropriate, boundaries will be mapped onto an
appropriately-scaled aerial photograph . ERO will incorporate the wetland boundaries
into project base mapping provided by the Client and will send the Client a revised base
mapping file that includes a layer with the boundaries of wetlands, open water, and
channels.
