OLYMPUS DAM PROJECT FEASIBILITY STUDY -AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER
INTO AGREEMENT WITH BUREAU OF RECLAMATION &NORTH AMERICAN HYDRO:
The Committee reviewed the North American Hydro proposal to
perform a “Feasibility Study”of the Olympus Hydro Project.Due
to an increase in the scope of work required by the Bureau of
Reclamation,the proposal increased from $10,000 to $16,500.The
Committee also reviewed an agreement between the Bureau of
Reclamation and the Town of Estes Park which established the
procedures for the feasibility study.The Bureau estimated
$3,500 in reimbursable expenses to review the Project which will
bring total expenditures for the Olympus Project Feasibility
Study to $20,000±.
The Committee recommends North American Hydro prepare a feasibil
ity study and that the Mayor be authorized to sign the agreement
between the Bureau of Reclamation and the Town of Estes Park.
PETITION FOR WAIVER -PLATTE RIVER POWER AUTHORITY:
Light and Power Director Dekker presented a “Petition of Waiver”
which was prepared by Gorsuch,Kirgis,Campbell,Walker and
Grover.The waiver will be executed by each of Platte River
Power Authority’s (PRPA)member cities -Estes Park,Fort
Collins,Longmont and Loveland.The waiver will eliminate the
present requirement for the individual member municipalities to
purchase power directly from a co—generator or small power
producer and allow PRPA to make all purchases under rates filed
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.Since the rate is
the same as the individual cities would pay,the co—generator or
small power producer would not be effected financially.The
purpose of the waiver is to avoid a conflict with requirements
stated in the “Purchase Power Agreement”between the member
cities and Platte River Power Authority.The Committee
recommends Director Dekker be authorized to execute the Petition
of Waiver.
There being no further business,the meeting adjourned.
