rapid growth for the past five years at approximately 5% per year. With the growth that has

Water Plan.

consultant for the Town of Johnstown. The process will include the negotiation of a Professional
Services Agreement. If the Town is unable to reach a contract agreement with the selected

does not commit to the Town to award a contract, defray any costs incurred in the preparation of a
proposal pursuant to the RFP, or any resulting negotiations, or procure a work contract.

with the Water Conservation Act of 2004 and to meet the provisions of Colorado Revised Statute

funding from the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) and the Colorado Water Resources
and Power Development Authority for water supply and delivery projects. Furthermore, the Plan
sets measurable targets regarding existing and future conservation initiatives, as well as an
implementation and monitoring plan to establish and administer cost-effective conservation
initiatives.

guidelines for approval.
3. Develop a municipal plan that integrates and leverages the public benefits realized from

and conservation programs.
4. Establish a framework that integrates accountability and achievable goals to
demonstrate progress to stakeholders, residents, and plan managers.
