SGM has helped numerous municipal clients successfully fund drinking water and wastewater projects via SRF Loans (Cortez Sanitation District, Town of Mancos, City of Craig, Town of Silverton, Pagosa Area Water and Sanitation District, and others). A general outline of the SRF process can be found under Attachment A. SGM strives to assist our clients with making the best possible decisions to meet the needs of their crucial water infrastructure and we look forward to the opportunity to continue working with you. In 2018, SGM prepared a Water and Sewer Master Plan which recommended that the Town of Dolores institute a water distribution system replacement program to continually replace aging and undersized distribution infrastructure over the next 20 years. The Town completed Phase 1 of the water distribution replacement project in 2020. In 2022, SGM was retained by the Town to provide 30% Design Documents for Waterline Replacement Phase 2, a Water Storage Tank 2 site study, cost estimates, and preliminary Following SGM's report recommendations, the Town elected to move forward with planning activities fora a SRF Loan application for the Waterline Replacement Phase 2 project. SGM facilitated submittal of a pre- qualification form and attended a pre-qualification meeting with Town staff and SRF program representatives on December 20, 2022. During that meeting, SRF Representatives disclosed that the Town ise eligible for Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) principal forgiveness and may receive up to 50% of their loan as principal forgiveness, subject tot funding availability and principal forgiveness caps. The Town also appears to be eligible for disadvantaged community (DAC) status and may qualify for a Design & Engineering grant, reduced interest rate, and some additional principal forgiveness through existing base funding programs. DAC status will be determined during the Project Needs Assessment (PNA) review. However, the proposed loanh has al low coverage ratio and would create highcommunity debt burden. Based on an example 20-year loan term and 3% interest rate, additional annual revenue would be necessary to  PROJECT BACKGROUND  funding support.  meet the loan's 110% coverage ratio requirement.  DURANGO  555 Rivergate Lane, Suite B4-82 I Durango, CO81301 I 970.385.2340    Ken Charles February 9, 2023  PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK  The objective of this scope of work is to complete al Project Needs Assessment (PNA) per the SRF process tot betteru understand the eligibie pricpallorgveness, interestrate, needed loanamount, and required water rate increase. The Town will complete the financial sections of the PNA to the best of their ability. SGM will complete the environmental and technical sections of the PNA: and develop cash flow models.  Task 1: Project Management  SGM will communicate with the Town and CDPHE as we prepare the PNA. Additional financial information will be requested from the Town to complete the PNA. We will also manage our technical team, budget, and schedules in this Task. We will support the Town with their $10,000 planning grant reimbursement  request. The planning grant requires a 20% local match.  Task 2: Environmental Reviews  SGM will conduct desktop and field surveys to complete the SRF environmental checklist. The project appears to meet the criteria for a Categorical Exclusion as the State Environmental Review Process states ac CatEx may be granted for projects where no federal crosscutters are impacted, there are no known or expected Extraordinary Circumstances, and the facilities planning are solely directed toward: distribution line replacement; minor upgrades and expansions of existing water systems in communities of 10,000 population or iess. However, coordination with the locai floodplainmanager and State Historic Preservation  Office (SHPO) will be required. Task 3: Project Needs Assessment  SGM will complete the project needs assessment (PNA) and submit forms through Colorado Environmental Online Services (CEOS). We will develop cash flow scenarios based on the anticipated loan amount, loan timeframe, growth rate of the water system, and potential water rate increases. SGM will attend a Public Meeting to discuss the findings of the PNA including the anticipated water rate increase. We will also  respond to questions and comments from CDPHE and DOLA in this Task.

Here's  Ken,  the checklist from the CBO: Broadband Ready Checklist: STEP 1-F PLANNING Identify Project Leadership  Identify a local champion willing and eager to become immersed in all things broadband. The champion will carry the torch for the effort by advocating for new or improved fast, reliable, and affordable broadband connectivity, establishing the broadband team, and coordinating communication with stakeholders. The champion will identify resources for feasibility studes/assessments and pursue grant funding Task 1: Identify organization that will serve as lead agency for broadband efforts - Task 2: Select individual to be the main point of contact and broadband champion - Would this best be you, a staff person, ar representative from an ISP?  opportunities.  Ken Charles&David Doudy Broadband Ready Community Program 1 Establish a Broadband Team  The champion can't go it alone! It takes a team for broadband development to become a reality. The broadband team often includes locally elected leaders, local government staff, community organization leaders, and others with expertise and knowledge of broadband. You may also consider talking with neighboring communities or counties to determine if there is a shared interest in delivering broadband to residents. The Broadband Team will be instrumental in developing policies, guidelines, and processes Task 1: Identify and meet with community leaders -School, Library, DSB, Chamber, Task 3: Reach out to neighboring communities - The County, Cortez and Dolores are  that will ensure smooth implementation of projects. Town Trustee, Empire Electric, Public Lands Office Task 2: Determine roles and responsibilities for broadband team =  already participating regionally. Engage the Local Community    The Broadband Team should engage the local community to better understand local needs and help set goals for the project. Consider consulting with community anchor institutions like schools and libraries, businesses, agriculture operations, public safety organizations, medical facilities, special districts, civic groups, houses of worship, state parks and other recreational facilities, and others who might be able to provide input on Task 1: Identify community stakeholders and develop a contact list Region 9to Host  the project. kick-off meeting  Task 2: Meet with community anchor institutions to gather feedback =  STEP 2-[ DETERMINE PARTNERSHIP MODEL Evaluate Partnership Model Options  There are several models for delivering broadband service to your community, county, or region. In some cases, a local government may choose to build, maintain, and operate the network. In other cases, public-private partnerships may be formed in which the local government may invest matching funds/assets to share in the cost of building the infrastructure, but then rely on a private internet service provider (ISP) to maintain and operate the system andlor deliver the last-mile connectivity to homes, business, and anchor institutions, In determining the best approach, a community should evaluate capacity and the costs of ensuring long-term sustainability of a broadband deployment. Task 1: After evaluating pros and cons of various partnership models, make a selection Task 2: Determine what regulatory and policy actions are necessary for selected partnership model - Are you aware of any land use or policy changes that need to be  addressed?  Identify Local Internet Service Providers (ISPs)  It's important to have a conversation with local ISPs that might have potential to be project partners. The ISPs will have an understanding of service gaps and areas where expansion is needed. They may be willing to share future plans for expansion or discuss challenges to delivering service to an area. If pursuing a public-private partnership, establishing a relationship with your local ISP will be critical. Communities should be aware of their local procurement guidelines/policies before reaching out to ISPs. Task 1: Research and understand local procurement guidelines and policies Task 2: Contact local ISPs and request a meeting to learn about any plans for  expansion, barriers, and potential for partnerships Evaluate Funding Availability and Resources  Determine what type of local financial resources are available for project planning. In addition, most grant programs require a match from the local area to be served. For the construction phase, additional financial resources will likely be required. Explore state and federal opportunities such as the Capital Projects Fund (CPF), Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD), the Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA)    Energy/Mineral Impact Assistance Grant Program (EIAF), and the US Department of  Agriculture ReConnect Programs.  Task 1: Research and compile a list of funding resources: Contact your Colorado Department of Local Affairs regional manager Explore other local, state, federal, and private opportunities.  Contact Colorado Broadband Office staff  STEP 3-1 PARTICIPATE IN AL LOCAL OR REGIONAL BROADBAND PLANNING PROCESS Participate in a Local or Regional Broadband Planning Process Communities must understand their vision for broadband. Participating in a strategic planning process, such as the development of a local or regional broadband plan, or similar effort will be essential in deploying broadband infrastructure. The broadband planning effort should result in a document that identifies service gaps and outlines how the community will achieve broadband connectivity. The plan should include a prioritized list of routes and preferably a cost estimate to provide service by location. Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) Energy/Mineral Impact Assistance Grant Fund (EIAF) also has assistance available to develop local and regional broadband  Please contact CBO for examples of broadband plans.  plans.  Task 1: Identify potential partners for broadband plan development Task 2: Identify and pursue available funding resources  Task 3: Consider seeking a broadband specialist to develop the plan or strategy. - In addition to getting a regional representative from Dolores, Iwould like to be sure that the Region is well represented when the State begins their BEAD 5-year planning  process  Conduct an Asset Inventory  As successful broadband project requires creating an inventory of infrastructure assets and understanding who manages those assets. The inventory will determine if there are existing resources, such as existing pole routes, locally-managed rights of way, existing partnerships, funding, etc., that will aid in the deployment of broadband infrastructure. Task 2: Determine route feasibility, cost and timeline of acquiring access to these rights  Task 1: Identify owners of rights of way along project route  ofways and assets  Address Potential Barriers to Completion  Broadband projects may face a variety of potential delays. Communities seeking to attract broadband deployment should review local permitting, easement, and zoning processes, and evaluate administrative capacity or potential workforce shortages. In addition, projects crossing federal lands, such as those managed by the U.S. Forest Service or the Bureau of Land Management, require special permitting and  environmental reviews.    Task 1: Understand permitting, easement, and zoning requirements for proposed Task 2: If applicable, establish relationship with local, state, and federal land managers Task 3: If applicable, understand the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. Hiring a consultant specializing in environmental reviews may be required Task 4: Ensure that your organization is registered with Sam.gov and has the required Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number (this can take 90 days or longer) if planning to  project(s)  seek federal funding.  Broadband Ready Community Program 4 Contact Electric and Other Utilities  Whether your municipality receives electricity from investor-owned utilities, such as Xcel Energy, an electric cooperative, or a municipal provider, electric utilities have a role to play in broadband deployment. Several Colorado electric providers participate in the delivery of both middle-mile and last-mile broadband projects in our state. In addition, other utilities, such as water or sewer operators, may also be important partners since they already have a connection to most homes, businesses, and anchor institutions in Task 1: Identify and contact electric utilities to explore available resources (pole  your area.  attachments) and potential partnerships Task 2: Identify other utilities (water, sewer, gas, etc.) STEP4 4-E ESTABLISH PROJECT COMMUNICATIONS Develop a Project Communications Plan  Maintaining open communication with project partners, stakeholders, and the community throughout the course of the project is key to its success.
