Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval of an agreement with DCCM North America, LLC, in the amount of $998,740, for engineering services to quantify standardized benefits for the design and construction of Flood Control District projects (Project ID Z100-00-00-Y127, Bond ID Z-03, Agreement No. 2024-71, Countywide, MWBE Contracted Goal: 19.60%).
end
Background and Discussion:
The Flood Control District recently developed guidelines to standardize the tracking of benefits for completed flood risk reduction projects. This agreement will apply use those guidelines to quantify, and document project benefits including (1) Structures benefitted by the project, (2) Population benefitted by the project including LMI, SVI and R/ECAP data (3) Miles of Inundated Roadways moving from impassable to passable, (4) Acres of land removed from the floodplain, (5) Channel System Capacity pre and post project and (5) Avoided Damages. This agreement will also develop the first phase of a GIS data delivery dashboard for the standard benefit information.
Expected Impact:
The agreement will determine Standard Benefits for projects so that the Flood Control District can accurately and consistently document as well as communicate the flood reduction benefits to the community.
Alternative Options:
The alternative to approving this item would be to not utilize and implement the Standard Benefits guidelines, which would result in not documenting Standard Benefits for projects thus not being able to communicate those flood reduction benefits to the community and elected officials.
