Background and Discussion:

Barrett Station (Phase 2 - Barrett Settlement & St. Charles Place) Subdivision Drainage Improvements is located in northeast Harris County in the San Jacinto watershed with a small portion in the Cedar Bayou watershed. It is to the south of Barrett Road, east of Crosby-Lynchburg Road, and north of Cottontail Drive. The existing drainage system is roadside ditches. The proposed improvements are to regrade roadside ditches, upsize culverts to increase capacity, and to construct a detention pond for mitigation.

 

The additional funds will cover the construction phase services agreement to allow for construction oversight of the project.

 

Expected Impact:

This project seeks to reduce flood risk and strengthen resiliency in Harris County by assisting in the alleviation of structural flood damage to homes in the community. Engineering support during the construction of the improvements is a step in the process to reduce the financial, physical, and emotional burden flood damage places on homeowners and will reduce the financial impact of recovery costs to the Barrett Station (Phase 2 - Barrett Settlement & St. Charles Place) Subdivision Project area, Harris County, and FEMA. The fiscal impact for this project will come from the 1080 Fund for the Recovery and Resiliency Division subdivision projects with the long-term goal of reducing drainage costs in the future. No impact to project schedule or staffing anticipated.

 

Alternative Options:

The County could elect to approve the requested task or choose to reject it. However, if not approved, the contractor will not be able to complete the scope of work.
