5. Provide an assessment of the remaining service life of the Inlet structure and the Low Level Outlet based on the consultant’s investigations and assessment of the structure.
6. Propose options for rehabilitation and replacement of the inlet structure that meets operational requirements. Provide preliminary concepts, design, cost estimates, drawings, constructability assessment, advantages and disadvantages for each of the alternatives considered.
7. Propose options for rehabilitation, repurposing and replacement of the Low Level Outlet to meet operational requirements including alternatives for the Town of Magrath water line. Provide preliminary concepts, design, cost estimates, drawings, constructability assessment, advantages and disadvantages for each of the alternatives considered.
