Background and Discussion:
Harris County Flood Control District uses Skid Steers to remove debris from stormwater drainage channel systems and buyout lots. Conventional Skid Steers are too large for use on narrow channels and between houses on buyout lots prior to demolition. A Stand-On Skid Steer is small enough to be used in narrow channels and between houses on buy-out lots.

Expected Impact:
Debris removal from narrow stormwater drainage channel systems and between houses on buyout lots prior to demolition.

Alternative Options:
No other options were considered.
