title

Request for approval of an agreement with Carollo Engineers, Inc., in the amount of $1,615,237.80, to provide design and construction phase services of the Goose Creek Channel Conveyance Improvements and Rollingbrook Stormwater Detention Basin and preliminary engineering for the Northern Segment-Stage 1 (Goose Creek Watershed, Bond ID F-120, Project ID O100-00-00-E003, Agreement No. 2026-11, Precinct 2, MWBE Contracted Goal: 19.60%, MWBE Current Participation: 24.73%).

Background and Discussion:

This Agreement provides design and construction-phase services for the Goose Creek Channel Conveyance Improvements and the Rollingbrook Stormwater Detention Basin (Southern Segment), as well as a Preliminary Engineering Analysis for the Northern Segment (Stage 1). For the Southern Segment, the scope includes improving channel conveyance capacity, designing a stormwater detention basin (SWDB) to reduce flooding, addressing encroachments, and relocating the existing waterline. For the Northern Segment, the scope includes a two-stage analysis to evaluate hydraulic benefits, determine detention volume needs, assess alternative site locations, and develop conceptual high-level engineering deliverables.

 

Expected Impact:

The project seeks to reduce flood risks and strengthen resiliency in the Goose Creek watershed by providing up to 230 ac-ft of detention along O100-00-00, and remove 112 structures, 28 acres of inundation area, and 1.4 miles of roadway from flooding during the 100-year event.

Alternative Options:

The alternative to approving this item would be to select another firm for the project, which would result in delay in project completion.
