Background and Discussion: The project is located in northwest Harris County in the White Oak Bayou watershed. Bernadine subdivision improvements consists of roadside ditches that drain into HCFCD channel E132-00-00. The scope and proposed improvements are to regrade roadside ditches, install a storm sewer system under the ditches, upsize culverts, and reconstruct roadways within the neighborhood. A detention pond will be constructed to mitigate within the project limits. Improvements will comply with Harris County standards. This agreement for Construction Phase Services provided by Ward, Getz & Associates, PLLC (WGA), ensures that the project is built in accordance with the Harris County and Harris County Flood Control regulations.
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. This agreement for Construction Phase Services 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 Bernadine Estates subdivision homeowners, Harris County, and FEMA. The fiscal impact for this project will come from 1080 infrastructure fund with the long-term goal of reducing drainage costs in the future. No impact to project schedule or staffing anticipated.
Alternative Options: If no action is taken, the engineer of record will not be accessible for support through the construction of the project.
