Section 10 Recommendations

EAA Storage Reservoirs Revised Draft PIR and EIS February 2006

10-5

for services that may include designing, building, operating or financing these

components. Expedited implementation may involve the Non-Federal Sponsor

initiating construction activities prior to executing a Project Cooperation

Agreement (PCA). Expedited implementation of the EAA Storage Reservoir

Project is in the best interest of the Federal Government because it will provide

early restoration benefits, potential cost savings and reduced cash flow

demands. Therefore, I recommend that the Non-Federal Sponsor be credited for

expenditures for work on the EAA Storage Reservoirs Project completed in

advance of executing a PCA with the Corps and for services provided under a

construction management at risk contract or public-private partnership. Credit

for such work is subject to the Secretary of the Army determining that the work

is integral to the authorized CERP Project and that the construction is

consistent with applicable Corps construction standards.

The recommendations contained herein reflect the information available at this

time and current Departmental policies governing formulation of individual

projects. They do not reflect program and budgeting priorities inherent in the

formulation of a national Civil Works construction program nor the perspective

of higher review levels within the Executive Branch. Consequently, the

recommendations may be modified before they are transmitted to the Congress

as proposals for authorization and implementation funding. However, prior to

transmittal to the Congress, the sponsor, the State, interested Federal agencies,

and other parties will be advised of any modifications and will be afforded an

opportunity to comment further.
