SCOPE OF WORK AND PROPOSED PRICING Background On September 9, 2013, a slow -moving cold front stalled over Colorado, conflicting with warm humid air from further south The result produced heavy rain and catastrophic flooding along Colorado's Front Range from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins The situation intensified over September 11 and 12 as rain continued and storm runoff began entering rivers, causing multiple surges far above typical levels The National Weather Service's Hydro -meteorological Design Studies Center stated in the Exceedance Probability Analysis for the Colorado Flood Event Study "The rarity of this event shows how the maximum rainfall amounts compared to corresponding precipitation frequency estimates for annual exceedance probabilities from 50% to 0 1% for durations from 15 minutes to 7 days " Weld County was heavily impacted by the overflow of the South Platte River, the Big Thompson River, the Saint Vrain River, the (Cache La) Poudre River, and a series of minor tributaries during the September 2013 flooding event Flooding in Weld County affected a total of 7,121 parcels of land Of this number, 2,910 were residential properties, 355 parcels contained commercial properties, 62 parcels had been used as industrial service sites, and the remaining parcels served as either agricultural properties or natural resources Existing stream gages currently delay readings by up to one hour and cannot be relied upon to provide crucial information within an appropriate timeframe during a potential flood event In the case of the September floods, the stream gage information was received just before the rivers began to reach a dangerously high level of flow and did not allow emergency services enough time to both properly warn all citizens within close proximity of the waterways and initiate the established protocol for responding to a flood hazard This resulted in far less than desirable evacuation times for a large portion of the local population, and to the confusion and congestion which naturally follows Scope of Work Weld County, Colorado The Weld County Office of Emergency Management is seeking proposals to install a series of ALERT (Automated Local Evaluation in Real Time) radio telemetry stream gage warning system sensors within Weld County and surrounding areas to serve as early warning systems for the purpose of notifying citizens of impending flood hazards This project is in coordination with the Division of Water Resources and utilizing DRW gages The newly installed stream gage equipment will provide real time stream data allowing for a much quicker warning response service than those relied upon during the September 2013 flood subsequently declared by FEMA as disaster DR -4145 The Contractor will be responsible for completing a telemetry study to ensure data from the selected gaging stations can be received to the receiver locations The Contractor is also responsible for obtaining the FCC licenses for each ALERT gaging site The Contractor will be responsible for providing all grounding rods, concrete, antenna masts, mounting accessories, etc which are needed to install the monitoring equipment Current stream gage data is gathered from the Internet utilizing a number of existing gages operated BID REQUEST #B1800162 Page 9 by the Colorado Division of Water Resources While these systems do assist in providing the County with river flow information, the time steps of each existing station are roughly one hour, meaning that information is not typically relayed back to the County until one hour after the gage has performed the reading This is not sufficient for the citizens of Weld County who live within a flood hazard area because this does not allow for a sufficient amount of time to evacuate to safety in a sudden flood All mitigation actions performed will provide a level of protection in line with the goals of the most current NOAA National Weather Service Flood Warning Systems Manual In order to ensure that the citizens of Weld County will be provided with a higher level of safety, a total of six radio telemetry stream gages will be ,installed along the major rivers and confluences in the southeastern portion of the County (See figure 1 1 below ) This area contains the highest number of persons per square mile within the County and contains the City of Greeley, as well as a number of the County's local government offices and buildings Working with the DWR we are proposing six stream gages be co - located with existing Colorado Division of Water Resources (DWR) stations which will assist in providing the National Weather Service with more accurate and up-to-date data than existing gages can offer Weld County requires the warning software be able to work on a "Cloud base system" to collect all of the data and disseminate it to local emergency managers, public works employees, the National Weather Service, and the general public It is possible that a single repeater may be required in order to ensure reliable and accurate data at the base/modem Once the project has been completed and closed out, Weld County will evaluate the need for an additional radio repeater and will install this with local funding if necessary Please see gage installation descriptions below for more information Project Locations Each of

Introduction: Water & Earth Technologies, Inc. Water & Earth Technologies, Inc. (WET) is an engineering consulting firm focused on providing environmental consulting and engineering solutions related to water resources. WET expertise includes surface water hydrology, hydraulic modeling and design, geomorphology and sedimentology including soil erosion and conservation, stream and landform restoration, water quantity and quality monitoring, flood hazard detection and analysis, and environmental impact assessment. In addition to its broad engineering capabilities, WET has specific expertise in real- time remote environmental monitoring. WET works to automate remote sampling for water quality analysis. WET works to measure precipitation, streamfiow and water quality parameters accurately. WET works to make hydrometeorological data reliably, easily and immediately available so that adverse environmental conditions can be identified at any time - particularly during developing flood threats. WET provides comprehensive support for entities responsible for developing and operating Early Warning System (EWS) networks and informing emergency response to flood events, by supplying hardware, software, labor and expertise. WET provides services both domestically and internationally for environmental monitoring, including data acquisition, real-time telemetry, data management, data hosting, website development and hosting for data visualization, data analysis and reporting, and GIS. WET plans, designs, installs, operates and maintains automated environmental monitoring networks, including systems using the ALERT/ALERT2 VHF radio, cellular and satellite telemetry. WET designs and installs real-time camera systems. WET installs, troubleshoots and maintains the NovaStar5 base station software (developed by TriLynx Systems) and provides training and support for entities using the system. WET provides emergency response support related to flood warning systems and conducts post -event analyses including estimating peak flow from high water marks. WET analyzes and reports hydrometeorological data and conducts hydrologic analyses to explore watershed response and rainfall/runoff relationships. WET develops stage - discharge ratings for gage sites based upon both field measurements of discharge and theoretical hydraulic (typically HEC-RAS modeling developed from our own stream reach -and -cross-section surveys. WET's in-depth knowledge of the issues involved with every aspect of remote environmental data collection and the use of those data for flood detection as well as engineering and regulatory purposes informs our approach to every project. A.1 WET Expertise and Resources Specifically Relevant to the Weld County EWS There are four significant reasons why WET is uniquely well -qualified to assist the Weld County OEM with the successful completion of the EWS project described in the Request for Bids: 1. WET has a track record of successfully integrating flood warning/real-time telemetry equipment at Colorado Division of Water Resources (DWR) monitoring stations. Given that all the stations to be constructed for the Weld County EWS are to be co -located at DWR stations, this is a significant consideration. WET has specific, recent experience installing equipment that reads DWR-measured sensor data without interfering with the DWR station operation or data transmission. Since 2014, WET has installed "sniffers" for the City of Loveland, for private irrigation entities, and most recently for Larimer County. Mr. Russell Stroud, Division One Lead Hydrographer with the DWR, has indicated (email correspondence, January 28, 2016) that where WET has been allowed to passively tap the DWR sensor feed, our installations, "have worked without incident," since the first of these "sniffer" stations was installed in 2014. Whereas installations by another local remote monitoring Waters art INSLOCIES 'dl d l Q t ❑'i f', r p n u.• 1 s l C p n', u l t L n ; l Dec. 6, 2018 Bid Number: B l 800162 Stream Gage Flood Warning Project consultant, "have had several issues and we have had to ultimately cut their data feed out of the system due to interference," with the DWR instrumentation. 2. WET can economically provide redundancy and reliable web -based data access for Weld County, not only from the proposed Weld County stations, but from relevant stations operated by other entities participating in flood monitoring on the Front Range. WET currently: • provides redundant data hosting for relevant local entities that do not operate an independent base station (Larimer County, the City of Greeley, the Town of Windsor). • provides support and/or redundancy for entities that do operate their own independent base station (City of Loveland, Urban Drainage and Flood Control (UDFCD), which includes data from stations in Boulder County). WET is therefore uniquely able to seamlessly integrate data from regional entities into a data access framework for Weld County that will include not only data from the Weld County EWS, but data from systems operated by neighboring (and upstream!) entities including the City of Fort Collins and the Town of Windsor (for the Poudre River), Larimer County (for the Big and Little Thompson Rivers), Boulder County (for Boulder Creek as well as the forks of the mainstem Saint Vrain Creek and its other tributaries including Left Hand Creek) and the UDFCD (for the South Platte River). Under the influence of the UDFCD, regional data sharing is well -established along the Front Range, and WET is able to help Weld County join an established group of local government entities who are engaged in flood detection and response, even without Weld County undertaking the expense and responsibility of acquiring an independent base station. If Weld County wishes to operate its own base station, WET can support that, but for this proposal, it is assumed that WET will host Weld County data on a Software as a Service (SaaS) basis, using our own redundant base station system, which is presently moving to a single primary node hosted at Google with a backup hosted at a different location. A great deal of additional information about WET's database management and data access options appears in descriptions of our project experience as well as in our response to the Scope of Work for this project. However, the fundamental point is that WET is already receiving data from the upstream flood detection networks that will be of most interest to Weld County, and providing a very user-friendly, widely -used applications for data access and visualization, WETMap. WET created WETMap as a secure, Google- map-based web page display of real-time data from the remote monitoring system that can simultaneously display rainfall RADAR images, National Weather Service (NWS) watches and warnings, and other relevant information for assessing flood threat and initiating response. WETMap is widely used by personnel associated with flood detection efforts surrounding Weld County and has a track record for user-friendly, reliable functioning. 3. Given WET's experience with flood detection equipment co -located with DWR monitoring stations, WET is able to assist Weld County, either as part of this project or in the future, with the development of rating extensions that would provide estimates of discharge for measurements of stage exceeding the DWR,s maximum rated stage. The Request for Bid does not explicitly indicate that Weld County OEM is interested in utilizing discharge data as part of the envisioned EWS, but WET has found that entities Watery Earth TECINSIOCIES 2 Dec. 6, 2018 Water Resources and En.,, Bid Number: B1800162 Stream Gage Flood Warning Project engaged in flood detection and emergency response typically desire discharge data. Discharge data allows events to be compared between monitoring locations and with regulatory "recurrence interval" quantifications of flood risk (i.e., the 10 -year, 25 -year, 100 -year flood levels). Additional information about DWR ratings, rating extensions and the value of discharge data is provided in Section C.8. As an engineering firm, WET has the expertise required to develop theoretical hydraulic models or to extend DWR empirical ratings, and to evaluate and adjust ratings over time. 4. Wet is an engineering firm with Principals and engineering staff who are licensed by the State of Colorado to work as Professional Engineers. The design and construction of civil works projects including a flood warning system should be completed by an engineering company. At the County's request, WET is able to provide physical copies of any design work for the telemetry architecture or data collection stations, as -built documents or stream rating extensions that are "stamped" by a Markus Ritsch as a Professional Engineer licensed in the state of Colorado. A.2 Key Personnel WET's President, Richard Spotts, P.E., founded WET in 1997. Markus Ritsch, P.E. joined WET as a full partner in November of 2003 and serves as WET's Vice -President and Principal Engineer. Flood warning projects are Mr. Ritsch's special area of professional focus, and Mr. Ritsch will serve as Principal -in -Charge for the County Project. Mr. Ritsch has over 20 years of experience conducting hydrologic studies, calibrating hydrologic models, developing rating curves and implementing data collection systems. Mr. Ritsch brings specific expertise in the planning, design, construction, trouble -shooting and maintenance of ALERT- and ALERT2- based flood detection networks. He has managed the design and installation of many ALERT - based flood detection networks for public agencies and private sector clients in Colorado, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and Kansas as well as internationally in St. Lucia, Peru, Guatemala and Panama. Under Mr. Ritsch's direction WET selects stream gage locations that are stable and protect monitoring equipment from frequent damage, that are conducive to the development of stage -discharge ratings over a wide range of flows, that are adequate for radio communications and that provide the early warning emergency managers need. He is actively involved in all phases of our flood warning work and pays specific attention to work task scoping, developing task budgets, documentation and communication. As Project Manager, Mr. Eric Hess will be the main point of contact for the County and will provide technical direction and supervision of all work conducted by WET on the County EWS. S. Mr. Hess will address any radio telemetry and licensing aspects of the project work, will coordinate communication between Weld County OEM and other entities including the DWR, and be responsible for the timely completion of all work tasks within budget. Mr. Hess has been working for WET for nearly four years on precipitation and stream gage networks including our work with the Cities of Loveland, Fort Collins and Greeley, the Town of Windsor, Larimer County, CO, the UDFCD (and its gages in Douglas County's Hayman Burn area) and Hays County, TX. Mr. Hess will work directly on technical/physical aspects of the project, including procurement, bench testing and installation and maintenance, as well as completing progress reporting, invoicing and project documentation. Both Mr. Hess and Mr. Ritsch will be in regular contact to keep the County informed of ongoing progress and any problems encountered with the execution of the project. Most coordination can be conducted through telephone calls and via e-mail, but WET is nearby for joint site visits or face to face meetings as needed. WET's commitment to close communication with our clients has proven to be very effective on past projects for identifying and resolving problems early on. Water Earth TECIMOCIES 3 Dec. 6, 2018 Bid Number: B1800162 800 l 62 Stream Gage Flood Warning Project Additional key staff that will work on this proposed Project include: Rob Niedenzu (B.A. Geography) Station Design and Installation Manager, Implementation of Data Hosting and Public Website Services, GIS Erik Carlson. F.E. (B.S. C.E.) Construction Documentation, Installation, Hydrographic/Site Surveying Kate Malers, P.E. (M.S. C.E.) Hydrographic/Site Surveying, Hydraulic Modeling, Direct Flow Measurement and Project Documentation Rob Niedenzu, with his 19 years of experience managing environmental monitoring projects, will be available to consult and advise on the design, construction, instrumentation and installation of the network. Mr. Niedenzu will also configure the base station for data and notification, and implement the public access website for Weld County. Mr. Niedenzu is WET's geographic information systems (GIS) manager and applies GIS technology to environmental monitoring, hydrologic modeling and decision support tool development, including WETMap. He is fully trained in datalogger/ALERT2 transmitter programming and manages WET's field support team. Erik Carlson designs station installations and prepares site -specific construction documents. A draft `typical installation' drawing Mr. Carlson developed for the Weld County stations is included in this proposal as Figure 10. This design can be updated following County or DWR coordination with regard to any site -specific considerations or concerns, including exact locations for the ALERT2 equipment pole. Given that all of the stations will be equipped similarly at existing DWR stations, and because the project time frame is short, the development of a detailed construction drawing for each site is is not proposed. However, if the County feels they are needed, Mr. Carlson's formal station design drawings can include elevation views of station components superimposed upon station location photographs. These drawings form a very effective visual mock-up of specific installation details that are useful to communicate proposed design relative to site conditions to ensure that the design process results in a meaningful consensus about installation criteria and details. The drawings are also very effective in directing construction so that the end result reflects what has been specified. Mr. Carlson is also an experienced installation manager and has experience with all aspects of EWS networks including theoretical and physical radio path studies and other siting studies, procurement, bench -testing, configuration, programming, installation, construction and maintenance of stations. Kate Malers, P.E. has specialized in open channel hydraulics and the development of stage/discharge rating curves for stream gaging sites throughout her twelve-year tenure with WET. In her work with the UDFCD, Ms. Malers has explored a wide variety of methods for integrating theoretical hydraulic modeling, on both the gage -scale and regional -scale, with field hydrographic techniques and real -world data to inform the estimation of streamflow and the quantification of flood risk. This includes the very specific task of extending the high -quality, but short, ratings that are developed by the DWR for its gages, so that when they are equipped with real-time telemetry, they are fully usable as flood warning gages. Additional information about this issue is provided in Section C.8. Resumes are provided in Appendix A. Water1 TECINS 4 Dec. 6, 2018 Bid Number: B1800162 Stream Gage Flood Warning Project B. WET's Experience: Recent Relevant Projects WET has designed, tested and installed many ALERT2-compliant EWS system components, including data "sniffers" for DWR stream gage sites in Colorado. Brief descriptions of some of our most relevant project experience are provided here. For most of these Colorado clients, WET provides data hosting. Data from the WET -hosted systems are received, processed and archived at WET's data hosting center, which includes a primary and redundant cloud backup. The entities using WET data hosting also use WET's web - based data access application, WETMap, for either public or login -controlled, restricted access to system data. The exceptions to WET's data hosting for Front Range clients are the City of Loveland and the UDFCD in Denver, which both maintain their own independent base station(s) with WET support. However, both Loveland and the UDFCD also have incorporated some version of WETMap, for either public or login -controlled access to system data. For WETMap applications that are not public, these project descriptions include screen captures that illustrate some of WETMap's features and capabilities. Where WETMap is available publicly, links are provided, and Weld County is encouraged to explore. B.1 City of Greeley In June of 2016, WET installed a real-time monitoring station for the City of Greeley, on the Cache La Poudre River at 59t1i Avenue. The station includes a RADAR stream level sensor, a tipping bucket rain gage (Figure 1) and real-time transmission using cellular service. The station was developed to be compatible with a future upgrade to ALERT2 radio communication, as WET understood that it was Greeley's desire to ultimately integrate the 59th Avenue station into Weld County's ALERT2 regional flood warning network. In the interim, the City of Greeley is incurring monthly charges for a cellular data connection. Our work for the City of Greeley included developing design drawings and finalizing the installation with City coordination, ordering, assembling and bench testing equipment, installation, initial calibration and the first year's data hosting and operation & maintenance. The Greeley project also included development of a theoretical stage -discharge rating based upon a reach and cross-section survey and a local HEC-RAS hydraulic model. The local hydraulic model results were compared to the results of a regional hydraulic model developed to determine flood extents. Between the two hydraulic models, WET was able to develop a rating extending from extremely low stages through the stages and associated discharges associated with very rare, large flood events. The City of Greeley also asked WET to conduct a one-year program of hydrometry to empirically validate or improve the lower portion of the theoretical rating. Over the course of a year, three discharge measurements were made over the full range of experienced flows, including a spring runoff flow, and mid- and low -flow conditions later in the year. For the City of Greeley, WET also provided base station configuration, and ongoing data hosting on our base station. NovaStar5 software receives and processes ALERT data, checking values against alarm notification criteria that WET developed in coordination with the City. NovaStar5 generates a notification whenever an incoming data value exceeds an alarm criteria, be it for rainfall intensity, stage, or rate of change. The City of Greeley Severe Weather Group receives notifications by Short Message Service (SMS) text messages. The City of Greeley accesses data from any web -enabled device; computer, tablet, or smart phone, using WET's WETMap application. Access is restricted to City personnel through a login. �Earth Water T E C N N I L O C I E S Water A�>-purr, ti as 7 t p,.r9�m? fl r,•._'' 5 Dec. 6, 2018 Bid Number: B1800162 Stream Gage Flood Warning Project WET's work with the City of Greeley was overseen by Eric Weiss, and we have only recently begun working with Stormwater Asset Manager Christina Jan as our contact at the City of Greeley. Instead of asking her to serve as a reference for us when she has not yet had time to become familiar with WET's work with the City of Greeley, we would ask Weld County to consider a recommendation letter that our reference at Larimer County addressed to Mr. Weiss in 2016. This letter is included in Appendix E. Figure 1. Standpipe for the City of Greeley's Poudre River 59th Avenue Gage B.2 City of Loveland WET has provided flood warning support services to the City of Loveland since 2004. WET is under contract to provide annual maintenance for their system of real-time flood monitoring stations (twelve remote monitoring stations consisting of weather, rainfall and stream water level sites, and to measure the discharge at any station at their request. The City of Loveland has its own base station, but contracts with WET to host a redundant backup base station located at WET. Water Earth TECINIIMIES 6 Dec. 6, 2018 Water Resource> and Enr,runrnenta! Consulting Bid Number: B1800162 Stream Gage Flood Warning Project In addition, Loveland has contracted with WET for a variety of discreet projects, including: • Big Thompson River @ WTP DWR "Sniffer" and Water Quality Station. In the summer of 2014, Loveland asked WET to install equipment to tap the DWR data feed at the Big Thompson River above Canyon Mouth at Cedar Cover (BTABCMCO) gage site. WET also installed a water quality sonde and receives and archives data on multiple water quality parameters including chlorophyll, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, temperature and turbidity. • Buckhorn Creek a, CR 24H DWR ``Sniffer." In the spring of 2014, WET installed equipment that allows Loveland to tap the DWR data feed at the Buckhorn Creek near Masonville (BUCRMVCO) gage site. • Station Reconstruction. WET rebuilt the Big Thompson at Glade Road gage after it was damaged by the September, 2013 flooding. The channel in the vicinity of the gage rerouted, severely damaging the original pressure transducer (PT) stage measurement infrastructure, so the station reconstruction utilized a RADAR transceiver mounted on the Highway 34 bridge. • ALERT2 Upgrade. Loveland contracted with WET to upgrade their EWS network from legacy ALERT to ALERT2 in 2017, and the upgrade was completed prior to the 2018 flood season. WET developed a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) plan to organize the ALERT2 timed transmissions. WET upgraded each remote station in house, by adding an ALERT2 encoder board and a GPS antenna and reprogramming HydroLynx 5096 transmitters at each remote station. WET obtained a new, FCC - licensed frequency for ALERT2 transmissions and assigned each station an ALERT2 protocol I.D. and reconfigured the base station as the transition progressed. • Base Station Software Upgrade. In 2015, WET installed NovaStar5 at the new Loveland engineering building on a dedicated desktop workstation. • WETMap Customization. Like UDFCD, the City of Loveland asked WET to develop their own custom version of our WETMap website for secure data access and display. Loveland's custom webpage helps Loveland staff interpret and archive critical information, during flood threats and between them. Some of the custom features of the Loveland website are depicted in the following screen capture figures. Loveland developed a flood mitigation plan that is triggered by specific stages at gage locations. On their WETMap, these "high alarm" and "low alarm" stages are integrated with the real-time display on hydrograph plots, as shown on Figure 2. These alarm levels are used to initiate Loveland emergency response actions. The web plot for each site shows both the low and high alarm levels and the current water level relative to those thresholds. Loveland staff receive a text notification via cell phone with specific information associated with each alarm level. Loveland storm water and emergency staff know exactly what mitigation measures to take when they receive a low- or high-level alert. Figure 3 and Figure 4 show examples of the station documentation (photographic and schematic images of the Big T @ Glade Road station) that are archived on Loveland's WETMap application. This information allows Loveland to maintain an on-line, updatable inventory of flood warning infrastructure.

WET has worked with the City of Loveland to evaluate the accuracy, over time, of the theoretical stage/discharge rating implemented for their stream gage on the Big Thompson River near Glade Park (ID 3570). WET has made discharge measurements at a variety of flows and compared the measured flow value at a given stage with the rated value. WET is able to make instantaneous discharge measurements in the field by wading the river with a Marsh- McBirney flow meter or hand-held Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) FlowTracker (during low flows) and by ferrying an ADCP boat across the river using a temporary rope and pulley system during high flows. Due to the redistribution of material deposited during the 2013 flood, the cross section at the Glade Park gage is changing over time, and in 2015 Loveland implemented a rating adjusted for the site based upon WET's recommendation after a series of discharge measurements.

B.3 Town of Windsor Windsor does not have an independent base station and relies on WET to host data collected by its network of rain and stream gages, which were installed and rated by WET and receive on- going maintenance by WET. The system includes three precipitation stations and a stream/precipitation station on the Poudre River @ Windsor Treatment Plant. These gages could be of interest to Weld County for flood detection or notification, as they lie above Weld County in the Poudre watershed and could provide an interval of lead time for Weld County flood detection and response at locations vulnerable to flooding from the Poudre. Water Eartb TECINIMIES 9 Dec. 6, 2018 Niter Resources and fnrirenaltetal Bid Number: B1800162 Stream Gage Flood Warning Project Constructed on November 11, 2005, the stream monitoring station includes a standpipe -mounted rain gage and stream monitoring by a PT in a riser pipe bolted to the concrete wing wall of the concrete box culvert (circled in red in Figure 5). WET surveyed the reach, developed a theoretical hydraulic model and implemented the hydraulic rating for the site for flood warning estimates of discharge shortly after its installation. Windsor approached WET in 2016 to discuss the possibility of expanding its operation of the gage from flood -season only to year-round monitoring. The site lends itself to year-round monitoring in that persistent ice rarely forms in the vicinity of the riser pipe and the PT can be expected to remain submerged in liquid water even during winter low flows. To refine the rating for year-round monitoring and anticipated use of discharge data for purposes other than flood monitoring, WET recommended a hydrometry program consisting of several discharge measurements over a range of flows to assess and revise as needed the theoretical stage -discharge rating. Discharge measurements made over a period of several months represented spring runoff high flow as well as a mid- and a low -flow measurement. The measurements reflected very well on our previous theoretical rating development work, but also indicated that siltation at the gage was impacting the accuracy of the stage measurements. Without accurate stage measurements, discharge data is severely compromised. WET designed modifications to the PT riser pipe to reduce this issue and made those alterations in February of 2018. Data from this Windsor gage is hosted at WET and available on WET's web -based secure access site, WETMap, available at the following URL (password protected; enter Guest/WET!): http://wetmap.wetec.us/WETMapV3/Guest/WETMapV3-Guest.html WET's work with the Town of Windsor (301 Walnut Street, Windsor, CO 80550) is overseen by Curtis Templeman, P.E., 970-686-7476, ctemplemangwindsorgov.com Figure 5. Cache La Poudre River r& Windsor Treatment Plant Waters Earth TECINOLIIIIES 10 Dec. 6, 2018 Were' Resources and Environmental Consulting Bid Number: B1800162 Stream Gage Flood Warning Project B.4 Larimer County Anticipating the increase in flood vulnerability that would result from the June 2012 High Park Fire that burned over 87,000 acres in watersheds west of Fort Collins, Larimer County originally contracted WET to site, design, install and maintain four rain/stage monitoring stations in those flood -vulnerable watersheds. WET developed stage/discharge ratings to provide estimates of discharge for stage measurements at the stream stations, using discharge measurements in the field to calibrate the theoretical hydraulic ratings whenever possible. Significant flood events occurred in both 2012 and 2013. In response to these events, WET assessed stream geometry changes to determine if rating revisions were needed and developed those revisions, helped establish and confirm alarm criteria to ensure that warnings were correlated with the desired level of flood risk, estimated peak flows from high water marks after flood events, and estimated velocities during flooding to determine travel times. WET replaced the Buckhorn Canyon station after the culvert where it was located failed during the September 2013 flood. After the 2013 flooding, Larimer County greatly expanded their flood monitoring capacity with the development of the comprehensive Big Thompson EWS system, which WET designed, built and maintains (the final stations are scheduled to be complete in the Spring of 2019). Data from both systems are received and managed by WET at the NovaStar5 base station at our office in Fort Collins and made accessible to the County through WETMap. WET facilitated a cooperative project between Larimer County and the City of Loveland that allows Loveland access to all of Larimer County's upstream data, while allowing Loveland's base station to act as a second, redundant base station for Larimer County. Due to canyon topography, the Big Thompson EWS utilizes three mountain -top repeaters as well as an intermediate repeater located at one of the remote stations, which can receive data from another remote station that cannot be reliably received at any repeater. Larimer County's Big Thompson EWS system includes two "sniffers" at DWR stations. WET installed one "sniffer" installation at the DWR stream gage location on the North Fork of the Big Thompson River at Storm Mountain Road, and one on the Big Thompson mainstem immediately below Olympus Dam in Estes Park (at a stream gage that is owned by the Bureau of Reclamation and operated cooperatively with the DWR). WET was responsible for developing ratings at independent stream gage sites, and rating extensions for gages co -located with DWR gages. Larimer County's emergency roadway flashers are activated automatically in response to relevant Flash Flood Warnings or Watches from the NWS. WET developed a proprietary system to accomplish that functionality and installed flashers at the mouths of Rist Canyon and Buckhorn Canyon in 2012, and flashers at each end of the Big Thompson Canyon in 2018. WET's work with Larimer County (Engineering Department at 200 W. Oak Street, Suite 3000, Fort Collins, CO 80521) is overseen by Eric Tracy, 970-498-5700, tracyel@c0.larimer.co.us. B.5 Douglas County/UDFCD The UDFCD has contracted with WET annually since 2004 to provide services for the UDFCD EWS network including over 300 sensors. The UDFCD is set up to accomplish much of their mission using private consultants rather than in-house expertise, and it suits their purposes to work closely with more than one company capable of providing services related to their network of remote monitoring equipment. The UDFCD is understandably always looking to have redundancy for their mission -critical flood warning functions, and their heavy use of two consulting firms is consistent with that mandate. Therefore, WET is responsible for installing only SOME of the new stations that are added each year, and for maintaining only SOME of the Waters Earth TECINOLOCIES 1 1 Dec. 6, 2018 Water Resources and En.uronmental Consulting Bid Number: B1800162 Stream Gage Flood Warning Project stations in the existing network each year. WET installs and maintains all stations that are developed in Douglas County with UDFCD cooperation. The most recent additions to the existing network have been in Castle Rock and in the Hayman burn area, including the rain and streamflow station on Sellers Gulch @ Haystack Road, the rain station at Upper Sellers Gulch, the West Creek repeater and the West Creek and Trumbull weather stations, all using the ALERT2 protocol. However, UDFCD recognizes that WET is the only purveyor of rain and stream gaging stations that is also a full -service engineering company with expertise in hydrology and hydraulic modeling in addition to the field skills and equipment required for station installation and maintenance. UDFCD typically asks another company to install and maintain more of their stations each year, but it is important to note that WET is typically asked to consult on the siting (to ensure that gages are placed in locations favorable to the development of stage/discharge ratings) and to complete the reach and cross-section surveys, hydrographic measurements, hydraulic modeling and rating development even for those gage sites that we neither install nor maintain. WET also provides a wide variety of software support services related to the UDFCD's network of gages. UDFCD stations transmit information using both the ALERT and ALERT2 radio telemetry protocols, and WET has been assisting the UDFCD with its transition to ALERT2. WET does not host data collection for the UDFCD but does provide troubleshooting and technical support for the UDFCD's dual -node NovaStar5 base station software system, including its redundant backup, to ensure that notifications are reliably provided to affected cities and counties within the District in the event of a developing flood threat. UDFCD system data are available on either of two public data websites. The UDFCD's mobile - friendly public website, GMap, which UDFCD uses to convey information to the responding entities served by the UDFCD (Metro -area Counties and Cities), is a mobile -friendly, customized version of WET's WETMap secure access tool. UDFCD's GMap is pictured in Figure 6 as it appears from a mobile application. UDFCD encourages public works and emergency response personnel served by the UDFCD to access GMap during events, and reports that it has been extremely popular with those users. GMap was widely used during the September 2013 flooding, including appearing in news media accounts of flood response. The site is available from the UDFCD at: http://alert5.udfcd.org/LDAD/gmapV3.html WET also provides a wide variety of engineering services to the UDFCD. WET developed a spatially -linked inventory tool, the FHIT (for Flood Hazard Inventory Tool) that helps the UDFCD quickly identify flood -vulnerable structures and conveyance infrastructure associated with flow events of a given return period. WET performs monthly QA/QC on precipitation and stream gage data collected by the system to detect problems with sensors, calibrations or ratings and improve the accuracy and usability of data. WET performs discharge measurements to field - check theoretical rating relationships. WET measures high water marks in the field and estimates peak flow after flood events. WET has performed hydrologic frequency -duration analyses to inform the design flows used by the District for capital projects. WET enabled the Sacramento Soil Moisture Account model within NovaStar5 for one of the UDFCD's basins, in a demonstration project intended to explore the viability of using that method to quantify watershed response and forecast flood threats in the smaller basins that are the UDFCD's responsibility. WET has updated the District's Flood Response Plans for seven of these basins to ensure that the information provided to responders is up-to-date. WET has assisted the District in determining alarm threshold criteria and E-19 values (stage values specific to individual stream gages) associated with the NWS definitions for Bankfull, Water &� Earth TECINII 12 Dec. 6, 2018 Water Resources and Enrrronreental Consulting Bid Number: B1800162 Stream Gage Flood Waning Project Action, Flood, Moderate Flood and Major Flood conditions. WET maintains a database of current E-19 values that are also displayed on the UDFCD's GMap flow hydrographs as a visual aid in interpreting the significance of real-time stage data. The flow hydrographs also include elevation data for significant physical features at the gage site, for example, spillway elevations for stage gages sited at dams. UDFCD frequently recommends WET to its client entities when they need engineering services related to understanding the watersheds, streams and infrastructure that produce and convey storm water. WET's work with the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (2480 W. 26th Ave. Ste. 156- SB, Denver, CO 8021 1) is overseen by Kevin Stewart, 303-749-5417, kstewart@udfcd.org.

Approach to Completing the Scope of Services The proposed Scope of Services for the Weld County EWS has been developed from the Specifications and/or Scope of Work information provided in the Request for Bid and included here as Appendix B, with recommendations based on WET's experience and some initial project research. WET understands that the project must be completed by March 31, 2019 as a condition of the County's funding. This schedule is challenging given the required lead time for equipment procurement and testing prior to installation, but WET will be able to meet that goal. WET proposes to quickly and economically provide the County with six (6) complete, installed ALERT2 radio telemetry stream gage stations that will report stages measured by the DWR in real-time, as well as rainfall measured with a tipping bucket rain gage. These will report to the database/early-warning software, with web access to rainfall, river height and other data reports, and configured warning of developing flood threats to County Emergency Management personnel. The system is required to be capable of operating as a "cloud -based system" to collect data and disseminate it to local emergency managers, public works employees the National Weather Service and the general public. This proposal includes service calls in the first one-year period after installation, including costs for vehicle expenses and any repairs of any of the goods to be purchased by Weld County, regardless of the number of service calls needed. This warranty will cover equipment and installation defects and failures, not including damage from Acts of God, vandalism, theft and automobile collisions. WET certifies that this bid includes all charges for freight, delivery, containers and packaging, less all taxes and discounts, and represents in every way the total net price which Weld County would be expected to pay if WET is awarded the bid, as required by the Request for Bid. The required work has been divided into the following tasks: C.1 Task 1. Network Design: Telemetry Study and Repeater Siting On the assumption that Weld County's EWS would make use of the existing WET base station server and data dissemination architecture that serves Loveland, Windsor and Larimer County, WET has already used radio transmission modeling software to complete a theoretical telemetry study. Assuming that the remote station locations are fixed at the DWR gage locations and the base station for data reception is located at the WET office in Fort Collins, the only variable to be explored for network design is the location of a repeater or repeaters capable of conveying transmissions from all of the stations to either the City of Loveland base station or the base station residing at WET, in Fort Collins. The highest reliability, lowest cost network design identified by WET would put a single repeater located on Greeley Water and Sewer's elevated tank at the Gold Hill finished water reservoir (at the southwest corner of 20t`' St. and Clubhouse Dr., Figure 7). The elevated tank already houses telecom equipment belonging to the City as well as private entities including several cellular providers. Weld County would have to approach the City to negotiate for permission to install equipment on the tank. Due to the County's ambitious installation deadline, securing this permission (or moving on to another feasible telemetry option) will be an important critical path issue. The City may be disposed to allow the County's use, since a repeater on the Gold Hill elevated tank also has a favorable theoretical radio path for the transmission of data from the City's Poudre River g 59th Avenue stream gage. Allowing installation of Weld County's repeater could serve the City's best interests, in that the City could switch to ALERT2 data transmission to avoid the recurring monthly fees associated with the cell phone service that is currently used. As previously indicated, it was the City's stated hope when WET constructed the Water s,Earth TECINO 14 Dec. 6, 2018 Water Resources and Enrerunfnental Citnsulting Bid Number: B1800162 Stream Gage Flood Warning Project 59th Avenue stream gage that someday it might be served by an ALERT2 VHF radio telemetry architecture that would be built to serve a larger Weld County EWS. WET understands that the Gold Hill elevated tank site is without internet service, but this is not necessary for the repeater installation. WET would recommend that the County consider purchasing service for a cellular modem at the repeater, to provide redundancy if VHF radio transmission is interrupted for any reason. It may be possible to have City of Greeley or Weld County telecom personnel install the repeater antenna. If not, WET would retain the services of a qualified tower -climbing antenna installer to place the antenna due to safety restrictions for work at height. Only the antenna would be installed high on the structure. The repeater itself would reside in a more accessible, but secure, location (probably a lockable, weather-proof NEMA-cabinet at the base of the elevated tank, at the City's discretion). WET's theoretical radio path analysis indicates that using the Gold Hill elevated tank as a repeater site would make a second repeater location unnecessary unless or until the network of remote stations were expanded in the future. However, if the Gold Hill elevated tank cannot be utilized, there may be no other single repeater location with favorable theoretical radio paths to all six (6) proposed remote station locations. This is a result of the spatial and topographic characteristics of the remote station locations. Either multiple repeater sites, or an independent base station located to receive transmissions from one or more remote station locations, would have to be identified to develop an alternative network telemetry plan. Figure 7. Google Streetview Image of City of Greeley Water and Sewer's Gold Hill Elevated Tank Water zEarth TECINOLISIES 15 Dec. 6, 2018 Water Resources and Environmental Consulting Bid Number: B1800162 Stream Gage Flood Warning Project This proposed Scope of Work assumes that the Gold Hill elevated tank can be utilized, and that no physical telemetry study (confirming reception of transmissions from each remote site to the repeater site and from the repeater to WET's base station) will be required. The theoretical modeling results provide a high degree of confidence that this proposed repeater location will provide reliable radio paths. However, if another option must be explored, additional theoretical and/or physical telemetry study may be required. C.2 Task 2. FCC Licensing/TDMA Planning WET proposes to begin the process of FCC licensing as soon as the project is underway, since FCC licenses can take up to 3 months to obtain. The Request for Bid emphasizes the importance of providing data to the NWS, so WET assumes that the N W S will be willing to act as the federal cooperator with the County for FCC licensing. WET will obtain a letter of support from the NWS and submit the required materials to the FCC Hydrologic Radio Frequency Group, which approves the applications completed through the FCC website. TDMA planning and slot assignments can also be completed at the beginning of the project, as soon as details of the telemetry architecture are established. A major advantage of the ALERT2 protocol is the assignment of a specified time slot for transmissions from each remote gage and repeater in a network. Data loss from colliding, simultaneous transmissions is avoided. TDMA time slot analysis maximizes the likelihood of reliable reception and repeater transmission of data by assigning unique timeframes for each network component to report. The Weld County system is small and the proposed telemetry system is straightforward, so TDMA planning should be straightforward. WET will leave space for future system expansion in the TDMA plan. At the completion of this task, WET will provide documentation of the FCC applications and licenses and an Excel spreadsheet depiction of the TDMA plan. C.3 Task 3. Ordering, Assembly and Bench Testing WET will procure and/or fabricate all necessary hardware, equipment, components and materials for the Weld County EWS. All equipment will be received at WET's 4,000 square foot facility located on Red Cedar Circle (off of Conifer Street) in North Fort Collins. Shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9, our facility includes a fully heated garage and bench testing facility where WET will configure and bench test all equipment prior to installation. County staff can inspect the equipment and view the bench testing process as desired. Space in our heated garage is also dedicated to the storage of ALERT/ALERT2 equipment for those clients to whom we provide annual maintenance services.

WET Shop and Bench Testing Area C.4 Station and Repeater Design and Construction A draft "typical construction" remote station schematic is provided as Figure 10 below. This design will be finalized to incorporate County or DWR input and coordination with regard to any site -specific considerations or concerns. Exact locations for the ALERT2 equipment poles will be coordinated as needed and marked in the field prior to construction. Given that all of the �EartbCINIL6IES Mir< ae,.7uTEWaterri e, int; E r t or l.?"t it 17 Dec. 6, 2018 Bid Number: B1800162 Stream Gage Flood Warning Project stations will be equipped similarly at existing DWR stations, and because the project time frame is short, the development of a detailed construction drawing for each site is not proposed. WET proposes to use pole -mounted stations, with a lockable, weather-proof NEMA box, solar panel, tipping bucket rain gage and antenna mounted to a sturdy steel pole embedded in concrete. This is similar to the style of the DWR station installation at many of the proposed stream gage sites. The interface between the County and DWR equipment will occur at a small, SDI -12 terminal block at the base of the DWR NEMA box. WET will run conduit between that junction box and the WET station infrastructure, as shown in Figure 10. All station components will be powered by a 12 -volt battery served by a solar recharging system mounted to the pole. If Weld County is able to utilize the Gold Hill elevated tank as a repeater site, WET does not foresee any need for signal boosting equipment or omni-directional antennae. For other telemetry configurations, the results of telemetry studies would be used to determine specific transmission equipment required. If desired, WET will conduct localized surveying during station construction to establish E-19 style "critical stage" values. WET can establish elevations, relative to the gage datum, for locations that are typically of interest for flood detection and warning, including: • Bridge low chord elevation • Top of Bank (TOB) / Bankful elevation • Minimum elevation of pedestrian or bike paths under or adjacent to bridges WET will prepare an as -built schematic and take a photograph of each gage site for inclusion in Weld County's WETMap display, similar to what is shown for Loveland's Big Thompson at Glade Road in Figures 3 and 4. WET has solicited equipment bids from vendors for necessary grounding rods, concrete, antenna masts, mounting accessories, etc., which will be required to complete the station installations. WET is not exclusively associated with any sensor manufacturer and recommends system components that best serve specific projects and even specific station requirements, based upon our extensive experience with the reliability, ease of operation and integration and value for equipment. WET has developed very strong working relationships with many equipment manufacturers. We request competitive bids from multiple vendors when possible, and we do not markup equipment costs when ordering equipment for our installation clients. In this case, WET is recommending both Campbell Scientific Instruments (CSI) and HydroLynx system components. Appendix D is a collection of the product literature and equipment specifications for the instrumentation WET has recommended and priced for this proposal. Our positive, ongoing relationship with equipment vendors allows WET to act as a facilitator to resolve issues with equipment manufacturers before they become a problem for WET's installation clients, particularly during the equipment warranty period. Equipment warranties typically exclude damage to components associated with Acts of God, vandalism, theft and motor vehicle accidents. WET personnel regularly attend training courses conducted by the major flood warning equipment suppliers and are familiar with current technological innovations.

WET utilizes a very low -impact, efficient approach to construction. A hole will be hand dug for the station pole, which will be secured by a small quantity of concrete mixed on -site by hand from bags of Quickcrete. Any excess concrete and any displaced soil will be removed from the installation site and discarded. All conduit trench work will be dug by hand and all of the excavated soil will be used to backfill the trench once the conduit is placed, leaving no waste material. All disturbed ground will be restored per County requirements including re -seeding with a native grass seed mix as designated by the County. WET expects to complete the installation of each site in no longer than a single day of construction with a three to four -man crew, including calibration of the rain gages. By the end of the installation the rain gage will be operating to measure rainfall, the stream gage will be reading measurements of river stage, and the station will begin transmitting data in real-time to the base station database. The base station will be set up to accept transmissions from the stations, with alarm criteria and notification protocols, prior to their installation. C.5 Task 5. Base Station Configuration WET will coordinate with the County to determine and establish flood hazard alarm triggers for rainfall and stream level. WET can recommend initial, regionally appropriate values for rainfall alarm criteria. Alarm criteria, especially stage criteria, can and should be revised through time as flood events occur and flood impacts become definitively correlated to measured rainfall and/or flow events recorded by the gages. If "false positive" nuisance alarms are an issue for the County, this should be reported to WET so that the base station configuration can be adjusted to better serve the County's needs. Such minor base station "maintenance" will be included as part of the first year of operation and maintenance of the system, and in any subsequent annual contracts for operation and maintenance. Rather than just building stations, WET is committed to ensuring the EWS systems as a whole performs as the decision support systems it should be, maximizing its value. Notifications tailored for Weld County can also be associated with alarm criteria established for gages that are NOT operated by Weld County, but for which data is ingested into the WET database system. For example, Weld County can specify notifications to be received by Weld County alone when the Cache La Poudre River ( Windsor Treatment Plant gage (or any other relevant, upstream gage) exceeds alarm criteria established by Weld County. Notification based upon upstream gages will complement Weld County's monitoring by providing a more comprehensive view of any developing flood threat and by providing data that can be analyzed to determine flood attenuation (or amplification) and travel times for flood peaks. Data from other stations including rain gages west of Weld County will also provide early regional insight on developing flood threats. If requested by the County, WET can also implement complex alarm logic utilizing input from multiple sensors. For example, an alarm trigger could evaluate the rainfall at upstream gages and trigger only when enough rain has fallen to produce saturated soil conditions AND a stream level is rising AND the current stream level is above a critical stage. NovaStar5 can be configured to disseminate alarm and other information using social media such as a Twitter feed to a Weld County OEM account, on screen, with email and/or SMS messages. Weld County will need to prepare one or more customized lists of notification recipients.

Maintenance/Service/Repair for One -Year Warranty Period Once the station is operational, WET will provide operation and maintenance support for a period of one year at no additional cost, to ensure that the system is performing to the County's satisfaction throughout the first year. Any equipment malfunctions will be addressed by WET and/or our vendors. Normal maintenance will include one visit to the station during the flood season, to recalibrate the rain gage, clean the solar panel, replace the desiccant that keeps the electronics enclosure dry and check all system components. In the fall, WET will shut down the station and provide overwinter storage of station equipment as needed in a section of WET's heated storage area that will be designated for the County's equipment. In addition, a report will be completed at the end of the year describing the maintenance activities over the course of the year and any issues encountered in the station's operation. A sample Annual Report is available upon request. WET understands that in the case of damage outside of WET's control, including theft, vandalism or automobile accidents impacting a station, the City will fund the replacement of damaged components and WET will install and calibrate replacement equipment for the one-year warranty period. WET recommends that a spare equipment inventory be developed in the future to ensure timely repairs to equipment. C.7 Task 7. Data Hosting/Access for First Year WET will monitor and maintain the reception of data at WET's base station for a period of one year and troubleshoot and correct any issues with transmission and reception. WET proposes to provide data hosting and access for the first year of the Weld County EWS operation as part of this project proposal. As previously indicated, WET has developed a Google-map-based website that provides secure access to data collected from ALERT sensor systems (both ALERT and ALERT2). WETMap is mobile phone/tablet friendly and provides user-friendly, easy -to -navigate data access and decision support. The user interface can be customized for County -specific needs without any customization. WET hosts the WETMap website for many of our clients domestically and internationally and supports other clients who run customized versions of the application on their own, as previously described. This secure webpage displays real-time data from the remote monitoring system and can also display radar images, NWS watches and warnings, images from remote cameras, and other relevant information for interpreting the real- time data, assessing flood threat and supporting emergency responders. Figures 11 shows a WETMap base image (of the eastern seaboard) with a superimposed RADAR image and an active NWS Weather Warning. Figure 12 shows the application accessing a remote camera image. If images from any County cameras would be helpful to OEM, they can be ingested and accessed by WETMap. Other types of input from Weld County can also be easily integrated, including flood inundation boundaries or delineations or other GIS layers supplied by the County. For Larimer County, it has been important to show the boundary of the High Park Fire, so that rainfall RADAR can be easily seen in relation to the burn area. The application can display data from any sensor type at remote stations. Figure 13 shows data from weather stations, including temperature, humidity and barometric pressure values. In addition, WETMap is able to query the database to aggregate and display rainfall data based upon a user -selected time scale (i.e., 5 -minute rainfall through 28 -day rainfall). The default display when the application first loads is typically rainfall data, either most recent value or an aggregation of recent rainfall. Stations are represented by color -coded icons that indicate immediately those stations that are receiving rainfall and its intensity (icon colors automatically change as rainfall is incrementally more significant).

Figure 18 shows an annotated 1 -day stage plot from GMap for a UDFCD gage located at a reservoir. The UDFCD has determined NWS-style S -style "E-19 values" for many of its gage sites, which specify the "Action" (typically an alarm threshold) and "Bankfull" stage as well as the stage corresponding to NWS definitions of "Minor", "Moderate" and "Major" flooding. In Figure 18, physical elevations of the gaged reservoir (permanent spillway and gate crest elevations) are shown. For the Weld County gages, the County may already have identified flood hazard conditions associated with specific stage levels at the DWR gages. Of course, these will Watery Earth Water Relour(et 4n6 Enyutonment/I ((Insulting 23 Dec. 6, 2018 Bid Number: B1800162 Stream Gage Flood Warning Project be disrupted by stations that are undergoing significant reconstruction or even channel geometry changes after a serious flood. However, identifying significant stages allows the web interface to convey not only the data reading but the impact of that reading with respect to flooding conditions, which helps emergency managers and storm water staff develop response and mitigation measures. i I " I -Maths o FM Fwd Poin ,, Rad / U x ,,\ USG '' 1 lert5.uldfcd.or V3.htl l a /LDAD/ ma '� 9 R' . ;: ; Apps * Bookmarks ( TriLynx P1 NS5 >> L1 Other bookmarks Maple Grove Reservoir Water Level 1003 - Maple Grove Reservoir Water Level Lam : 2016-02-11113:55:13 stage: 19.84 Current di sc harge : 0 B ankiul I: 26 M i nyor Flooding: 28.4 Action: 26 Moderate Flooding: 30.86 Major Flooding: 31 10' Gate Crest 30.0 27.5, 6' Gate Crest Ii3 25.0 , p9.1. 22.5- 20.0 Permanent S • illw a Crest 18:00 02/16/2016 00:00 14:15:00 06:00 12:00 to 02/17/2016 14:16:22 a 1003 Maple Grove Reservoir Water Level Last 100 Nova'star5 its Figure 18.

WET is also capable of supporting Weld County in the future with engineering uses of EWS system data. WET can prepare data sets for modeling studies, conduct watershed response analysis, estimate flood velocities and travel times between gages based on storm event data, and otherwise assist with data use for engineering purposes beyond real-time flood detection. C.8 Optional Task 8. Rating Extension Development It isn't clear in the Request for Bid that Weld County is interested in acquiring discharge data from the stream stations, so WET has provided costs related to stage -discharge rating work as a separate, optional line item. This section is intended to help Weld County to understand some issues around discharge data and to weigh the pros and cons of acquiring discharge data using a method recommended by WET. At the pre -bid meeting, it was clear that the Office of Emergency Management is most interested in using alarm criteria associated with stage data, not discharge data. It was expressed that the Weld County OEM already has some historical or experiential "critical stage" values that are meaningful in the context of the County's flood detection and response efforts. WET supports this approach for developing alarm criteria. In fact, in our experience it is typical for public flood detection and warning entities to focus on stage values as the first priority in flood detection and characterization. Unlike discharge, stage is relatively easy to measure accurately. Stage values can be successfully correlated with downstream flood impacts and used for flood detection and warning purposes. However, the value of stage data is limited compared to discharge data, and it is also WET's experience that wherever there is a record of stage, there will be a demand for corresponding discharge data. Recently the NWS has moved towards including a consideration of discharge consistency in the development of their E-19 "critical stages." During and after floods, the public and flood plain management personnel are very focused on comparing flood events to important recurrence interval benchmarks, particularly the "regulatory" flood designated for Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) floodplain delineation (usually, the so-called "100 -year flood.") These are not insignificant considerations when considering the value of acquiring discharge data. Having discharge data maximizes any gage's value from an operational flood monitoring and flow forecasting perspective. Discharge hydrographs can be compared from place to place on a watercourse in a way that stage hydrographs cannot, since the stage at one gage is most impacted by physical features of each particular monitored stream reach. A discharge hydrograph, on the other hand, more directly reflects watershed response to a rainfall event, and the area under that hydrograph represents the volume of runoff that must pass downstream from a gaged location, even if the shape of the discharge hydrograph is altered by peak flow attenuation (or by inflow from a tributary stream). Discharge is costly and difficult to measure directly, so estimates of discharge are assigned to measured stages using a hydraulic rating curve or stage -discharge rating. The curve captures the site -specific relationship between stage and flow rate for each gage, reflecting the way that cross- sectional conveyance area AND flow velocity change in the gaged reach as the water rises. C.8.1 DWR Empirical Stage-- Discharge Ratings Acquiring discharge data is the DWR's major focus; i.e., they collect stage data only as a "means" to achieving the discharge data "end." Therefore, the DWR develops stage -discharge ratings for its gage locations, and it would be possible for Weld County to "sniff' both DWR stage and discharge values directly. However, there is a major issue with this approach in terms of its accuracy and usability in the context of flood warning: DWR ratings are very accurate for Water,Earth Watt? Rt%ourcrc and fnrircrne4i,I fnncuttinq 25 Dec. 6, 2018 Bid Number: B1800162 Stream Gage Flood Warning Project the range of flows they cover, but they can be very "short," with a maximum estimated discharge falling well below the events that are of interest for flood response and mitigation. The DWR is most interested in very accurate estimates of discharge in the range of flows that are of great interest in water resources management: flows that must be apportioned between competing uses (low flows) and flows that occur the vast majority of the time (low- to mid - flows). The DWR's method of developing ratings reflects their mandate by providing very accurate estimates in the low- to mid -range of flows. DWR ratings are based on a program of frequent hydrometry. A DWR gage rating reflects the results of multiple field discharge measurements at that gage site. When the results of many such measurements are plotted, an empirical rating curve is fit to the real -world data points using mathematical curve -fitting. DWR rating efforts are devoted to trying to maintain very accurate ratings for low- to mid -flows, given ongoing channel change due to aggradation or scour. The DWR implements frequent rating shifts to account for small changes in discharge capacity at a given stage level. When the DWR has confidence in the high end of its rating due to multiple measurements at relatively high flows, it may extrapolate for a short distance beyond the highest discharge ever measured in the field. However, fundamentally the DWR is not interested in extending ratings into the range of flood flows or much beyond the highest measured discharge, because peak flood flows are transient, infrequent, short duration "blips" disrupting the long, steady effort to characterize water availability. Peak flows really do matter in the context of flood detection and response, however, since it is the peak flow that dictates the extent and severity of damages during floods. During a flood, a DWR stream gage can continue to log viable stage values that far exceed the maximum rated stage. For these stage values, a non -numeric "error" code is entered into the DWR database for discharge, instead of a value. This results in a discharge data record that abruptly truncates at the value of the maximum rated discharge instead of at the maximum real - world flow for the gage. This caused much confusion for emergency managers looking at DWR data for the September 2013 flood event. Ultimately the UDFCD asked WET to co-author an article on the issue for the December 2015 Flood Hazard News (Volume 45, No. 1, page 38/45). This article is available at the following link: http://udfcd.org/wp-content/uploads/uploads/resources/flood%20hazard%20news/FINAL_FHN_2015 .pdf The Flood Hazard News article illustrated the issue using data for St. Vrain Creek g Lyons (Figure 11) because the DWR rating in use there during the flood was so significantly "short" (max rated discharge of 1,720 cfs) compared to the actual estimated peak discharge. However, the hydrographs on the front cover of this proposal probably reflect the same issue in the September 2013 flood data for the Cache La Poudre near Greeley (CLAGRECO), one of the DWR sites selected for a co -located Weld County gage. The stage data in the top figure includes an odd disruption in the final hours of September 15, which forms a conspicuous downward spike. Because discharge data are derived from stage data, the discharge hydrograph in the bottom figure reflects the anomaly in the stage data. The discharge hydrograph also fails to capture the peak flow that would correspond with the peak stage, probably because the DWR rating in use at the time did not make numeric discharge estimates above 3,000 cfs.

Gages with "long(er)" ratings have been been in service at a stable stream reach long enough for the DWR to make many discharge measurements, including some at (relatively) high flows. When a flood event or construction project significantly disturbs a monitored reach, a rating shift is no longer sufficient to bring an existing rating into line with the most current field discharge measurements. Then, the DWR starts over with its rating development process. So, the very "short" rating at BIGHILCO likely reflects a short period of discharge measurements since the 2013 flood or subsequent repairs changed the channel geometry in the monitored reach. Over the next few years, the DWR will try to make measurements there during higher flows, and the rating will be extended. Unfortunately, it is also very likely that the "longest" DWR rating here will soon be abandoned by DWR. The DWR will probably start to re-establish a rating for the PLAKERCO gage when it 27 Dec. 6, 2018 Water � TECIINIEOCIES Wet•r Re ,u?(rti ,nd fr,rrorrnenin (onsuI:inq Bid Number: B1800162 Stream Gage Flood Warning Project is reinstalled after bridge construction is completed next year. Old discharge measurements that reflect the pre -construction channel configuration will be discarded, and the DWR will start utilizing only post -construction measurements in its process of empirical rating development Until a year with significant runoff provides an opportunity for a high -flow discharge measurement, that rating will be "short." C.8.2 Flood Warning Theoretical Stage -Discharge Ratings and Rating Extensions Ratings developed for flood warning gages that are independent of a DWR or USGS gage are typically based upon theoretical hydraulic modeling (usually with HEC-RAS, the Army Corps of Engineers' open -source hydraulic modeling software). Theoretical modeling is preferred to a program of hydrometry because the latter is both resource -intensive and is often marginally feasible with respect to flood flows (difficult and/or dangerous). A hydraulic model is necessarily a simplification of a real hydraulic system, but when a well -designed model reflects those characteristics that are most responsible for determining how flow energy changes through a reach, reliable estimates of discharge at a gaged cross-section can be generated. However, it can be difficult to develop even a theoretical rating that extends well into flood flows. Channel cross-section geometry is required input to a hydraulic model, and there are commonly impediments to surveying areas above the top of the bank, like roads, or private property, or just the width of the floodplain. "Short" theoretical ratings are common for gages installed in stream reaches with low in -channel capacity. There are sometimes ways to extend surveyed cross sections, with LIDAR or other topographic data, for input into the hydraulic model. However, with input from the UDFCD over many years of confronting this issue, WET has standardized a process for extending ratings themselves into higher discharges, using the results of regional hydraulic models that are developed for floodplain mapping and management: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Study (FIS) documents. These are fairly standardized and widely available, and typically provide enough data to develop theoretic stage, discharge pairs for at least three discharges- the 10 -year, 50 -year and 100 -year (for some studies, additional discharges are modeled; the more the better for rating extension purposes). For gages co -located with a water resources gage, like the proposed Weld County EWS S gages, the same process that is used to extend a "short" theoretical rating can be used to extend a "short" DWR rating. This is the rating approach that WET would recommend to Weld County. It is a very inexpensive approach, because no new hydraulic model development is required. Both the low- to mid -discharge portion of the rating and the extension are based on existing work by others. The DWR portion of the rating curve is generally very accurate and is used to its fullest extent. The quality of the values extracted from FIS reports is more variable, depending upon the age of the regulatory study and the skill and thoroughness of the hydraulic modeler. WET cannot correct or take responsibility for flaws in FIS modeling results that were not detected during FEMA's extensive review process, and sometimes the effort to develop a rating extension results in an unsatisfying curve with a discontinuity apparent where the two rating curve segments overlap. However, with a little luck and a little engineering judgement — especially when a transition between the two portions of the rating curve must be extrapolated, because there is no overlap of rating data from both sources — WET has been able to produce reasonably accurate "long" ratings that are pieced together from disparate sources. UDFCD has found the method and its results compelling enough to present it to the DWR for their consideration as a way to extend their own ratings and avoid the problems associated with non -numeric reports for flood discharges. Frankly, the DWR has not been receptive to implementing this idea for their own data, given their commitment to the accuracy that is realistically only available through empirical rating development. Under pressure from the UDFCD, the DWR did devote manpower several 28 Dec. 6, 2018 Bid Number: B 1800162 Stream Gage Flood Warning Project winters ago to an effort to extend a small number of their ratings. The similarity between the results of their independent efforts and WET's work in the demonstration project helped confirm to the UDFCD the viability of the method WET was using, even if the DWR wasn't fully enthusiastic. Recall that attempting to quantify flood flows doesn't resonate with their core mission anyway. On the other hand, the local NWS has been thrilled to have access to the extended ratings that WET has developed for the UDFCD, and they have been requested by the Missouri River Basin Forecast Center as well. If Weld County is interested in discharge data, WET will develop rating extensions for the 6 proposed stream gage locations. Only stage data will be "sniffed" from the DWR. A discharge estimate for each stage data record will be generated for by implementing the extended rating into the County's base station software. During a future flood event, when a "short" DWR rating results in the sudden loss of discharge data from a gage, the County's extended rating will continue to provide reasonable, defensible estimates of flood discharge. This approach to acquiring discharge data will require some recurring database maintenance, in that periodically, DWR rating changes will need to be detected and incorporated into updated extended ratings. WET would recommend that Weld County ignore small discrepancies between low- and mid - flow discharges reported by the DWR compared to those logged by the Weld County rating implementation, due to the frequency with which DWR alters their rating shifts. Figure 12 shows an example of a rating developed from more than one source of information, using the rating extension methodology WET would recommend for the Weld County gages. WET developed a composite rating for PLUCASCO (Plum Creek below Haskin's Gulch near Castle Rock, CO) so that the UDFCD can cost-effectively use this USGS gage to provide credible discharge data, even for high flows. The USGS rating extends to a maximum stage of 10.8 ft, corresponding to a maximum flow of 2,220 cfs. The UDFCD base station ingests stage data from this USGS gage and uses an "extended„ rating developed by WET to estimate discharge for stages above 10.8 ft. The rating "extension" is based upon the regional hydraulic model that was developed to support the relevant Flood Hazard Area Delineation (FHAD). When plotted together, a logarithmic extrapolation of the USGS "low flow" rating curve is very compatible with the shape of a curve fitted to the data points from the regional hydraulic model. Together, the two rating sources suggest a composite rating curve that can provide estimates of discharge for stages up to nearly 19 ft. A technical memo describing the rating extension methodology more fully and documenting its use in extending additional "short" ratings, is available upon request.

WET will coordinate with the DWR to obtain permission for the addition of "sniffer" equipment at their stations. WET understands that there is no need to apply for permits for station construction, beyond the need to coordinate fully with the County and the DWR. WET anticipates that construction of stations could begin by the second week of March and be complete by the end of March, with the possible exception of the station to be constructed at PLAKERCO. At this location, the County Road 53 bridge over the South Platte River is under construction and the DWR gage may not be fully reinstalled until after March 31. WET does not foresee any issues with finishing up this final gage after the necessary infrastructure is in place. E. Cost Estimate WET's personnel are thorough, professional and efficient and it is always our goal to provide excellent value to our clients. WET's bid costs have been broken down to allow the County to see station costs for both equipment and labor, as well as recurring costs and costs for items that are optional, depending upon the County's needs.

located with existing Colorado Division of Water Resources (DWR) stations which will assist in providing the National Weather Service with more accurate and up-to-date data than existing gages can offer Weld County requires the warning software be able to work on a "Cloud base system" to collect all of the data and disseminate it to local emergency managers, public works employees, the National Weather Service, and the general public It is possible that a single repeater may be required in order to ensure reliable and accurate data at the base/modem Once the project has been completed and closed out, Weld County will evaluate the need for an additional radio repeater and will install this with local funding if necessary Please see gage installation descriptions below for more information Project Locations 11.1 Each of the project sites are listed in the blow table with the Division of Water Resource gage Identifier For additional information see the attached MAP for location information Poudre River Timnath Admin Gage DWR CLARIVCO Poudre River Fern Ave in E Greeley DWR CLAGRECO Big Thompson 402 &I-25 DWR BIGHILCO Confluence Big Thompson and South Platte River 40 349983, -104 784966 DWR BIGLASCO Confluence St Vrain and South Platte River CR 19 5 and St Vrain River DWR SVCPLACO South Platte River -

MODEL 5052RP ALERT2 Repeater General Description The HydroLynx Model 5052RP Data Repeater is an intelligent repeater that performs the same role as an ALERT2 repeater while adding the utility of the 50386. An ALERT2 repeater is used to relay data from a remote site to the central site where a direct line - of -sight radio path does not exist. The 5052RP adds multiple communication pathways and sensor inputs. As an intelligent repeater, the 5052RP decides to repeat data reports based on three criteria: 1) the report is a valid message, 2) the ID number is in the programmable Repeat Range list, and 3) the same report is NOT in the Talk Back Buffer. The ScadaLynx Toolbox software package is used to configure all of the 50386 programmable parameters; this allows the user to reconfigure the Repeat Range list in the field. A sensor ID offset value can also be added to a sensor report before it is repeated. The multiple communication pathway feature allows data repeating with different types of telemetry equipment, each employing its own communication protocol. Communication configurations include the standard ALERT 1 and ALERT2 repeater types: single frequency store and forward, and dual frequencies for simultaneous receive and transmit capability. Examples of additional configurations include OES transmitters, two-way SCADA radios, telephone modems and microwave relays. On -site data collection capability is accomplished with sensor input packages that can add up to 14 analog inputs, four low speed counters (rain sensor inputs), four high speed counters (AC or DC wind inputs), twelve digital status inputs, six digital outputs and an SDI -12 port.

Larimer County has worked directly with WET since the High Park Fire in 2012 and continues to utilize their services for data collection, data & website hosting, data reporting, emergency alert notifications along with continual operation and annual maintenance of our rain and stream gage system. Most recently, WET has provided design services for a regional rain and stream gage network in the Big Thompson Canyon where successful collaboration between Larimer County, City of Loveland, City of Fort Collins, US Bureau of Reclamation, US Forest Service, Colorado Department of Transportation and others was meticulously coordinated by WET. Similar to your proposed rain/stream gage on the Poudre River at 59th Avenue, WET has provided design services for ALERT -2 compliant systems for Larimer County along with surveyed cross section data, accurate HEC-RAS hydraulic modeling and rating curve development for our stream gages. WET has been diligent with post -storm field observation & survey along with rating curve calibration on all of our stream gages. Water & Earth Technology's WETMap web portal has been an invaluable tool for internal stormwater management and emergency services in Larimer County. WET's ability for complete customization of the portal has allowed Larimer County to identify vulnerable areas such as the fire burn scar and observe in real time storm cell movement and intensity. We have worked with WET to fully customize our alert thresholds and we accurately receive text and email notifications when those thresholds are exceeded. In our experience, it has been abundantly clear that WET strives to understand the needs of their clients and they consistently provide a cost effective, solutions based approach to their design, construction, operation and maintenance services. WET has consistently provided top quality services for Larimer County within budget and on schedule. If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact me at any time.

This project is related to one of the Hazard Mitigation Grant Projects we received after the flood in 2013. The planning on this project has taken much longer than expected and due to the timeline for the Grant we are requesting the emergency approval. The Grant deadline is March 31, 2019. During the Pre -Bid meeting the Vendors indicated there is a bit of concern for getting the project completed under the Grant deadline if the equipment is not ordered prior to the first of the year.
