Design Criteria Memorandum. Description of Activities: 1) Development of the desired reservoir storage volume for preliminary design will be coordinated with the initial environmental compliance activities (a separate task not included in this grant) as the reservoir storage volume will be a critical component of the project's “Purpose and Need” documentation. 2) Draft Technical Memorandum (TM) will be prepared to support concept design update. 3) TM will be reviewed by the City and State Dam Engineer prior to initiation of engineering analyses. 4) Future updates to the design criteria may be made and the memorandum will remain in draft form until final design phase of project.
Design Criteria Memorandum. The Design Criteria Memorandum (DCM) will define the basic criteria and guidance that will be utilized during design. It will include District basic operations requirements, Project performance requirements, and other stakeholders’ design criteria as identified by the District. It will include known relevant constraints such as environmental restriction dates, etc. It will document geotechnical, civil, structural, electrical, mechanical, hydrologic and/or hydraulic standards to be used in the analyses and design. Pertinent codes and references will be cited. The Design Criteria Memorandum will be issued in Draft form and updated as design progresses through the various design stages.
