APPENDIX B
REHABILITATION EVALUATION REPORT
B-1. Study Procedures and Reports. Major Rehabilitation Evaluation Reports will include
engineering, environmental, and economic studies. Studies should be undertaken and the reports
prepared in coordination with the Planning, Engineering, Operations and Project Management
elements. Early coordination should occur with the potential cost sharing partners and other
affected agencies. Engineering reliability studies should be prepared in consultation with
CECW-E. However, a coordinated team effort among all functional elements will be utilized
throughout the entire study process.
a. Report Name. The evaluation report will be called by the project's authorized name
followed by the words Major Rehabilitation Evaluation Report.
b. Funding. The Rehabilitation Evaluation and report preparation will be funded under
the Operation and Maintenance, General, appropriation.
c. Illustrations. The use of color photographs in the reports to illustrate features for
proposed rehabilitation and to highlight specific problems is highly recommended. Photographs
should be accompanied by narrative description that explain what is being depicted.
B-2. Study Objectives. The rehabilitation study requires rigorous analysis and reporting. The
level of detail should be commensurate with the proposed action. The objectives of the study are
as follows:
a. Establish the overall engineering condition and reliability of the project and all major
project features at the current time. Analyses should identify reliability problems associated with
critical project features as well as identify those project features which are not unreliable. This
analysis should be conducted given the current and anticipated future "without project" condition
of the features to establish a base condition. The results of the reliability analysis will be
considered in conjunction with the economic and environmental studies to establish priorities for
funding and to establish the objectives of the rehabilitation project.
b. Identify and define the operational and/or potential reliability problems and/or
opportunities for efficiency improvement.
c. Identify alternative methods to resolve or manage the problem.
d. Develop cost estimates for the proposed solutions.
e. Determine if the proposed project is eligible for funding under the major rehabilitation
program and if so under which categories.
f. Estimate the total economic cost and benefits of the base condition and alternative
solutions.
g. Identify cost sharing requirements, if applicable.
