Background and Discussion:

White Oak Bayou (HCFCD Project ID E100-00-00-E004) Federal Project construction is physically complete and is in the warranty period. These additional costs will go towards preparation of record drawings for all phases constructed under 2018 Bipartisan Budget Act grant, which is administered through USACE. 

 

Expected Impact:

White Oak Bayou Federal Project will see water surface elevation reductions of 0.64 to 2.49 feet for the 1 percent (100-year) flooding event and over 1500 structures removed from the floodplain.  

 

Alternative Options:

The alternative is to not approve the additional funding and re-procure a design team to complete the remaining work originally designed by others. This approach could delay project closeout and reimbursement from the USACE.
