title

Request for approval of amendment No. 3 to an agreement with Freese and Nichols, Inc., in the amount of $1,450,000, to provide additional program management, engineering and related services as may be needed in support of the Flood Control District’s Frontier Program in the Upper Langham Creek Watershed (Addicks Reservoir Watershed, Project ID U100-00-00-G001, Agreement No. 2018-46, Precincts 3 and 4, MWDBE Contracted Goal: 20%, MWDBE Current Participation: 14%).

Background and Discussion:

The Upper Langham Creek Frontier Program provides regional detention benefit for new development within the program service area based on 2012 court-approved program guidelines.  The service area extends from John Paul Landing basin at the upstream end to Greenhouse basin at the downstream end.  Development is ongoing along Langham Creek just downstream of SH99 and analyses and plans have been submitted for the last phase of development upstream of SH99. 

 

This Amendment No. 3 will allow continued program technical support as program is within its next phase of development upstream of SH99. 

 

Expected Impact:

Efforts will provide overall regional benefit to community within the program service area and will ensure no impacts to others upstream or downstream of the program limits.

 

 

Alternative Options:

The alternative to approving this item would be to discontinue this agreement, which would result in loss of critical technical support needed for program success.

 

Alignment with Goal(s):

_ Justice and Safety

_ Economic Opportunity

_ Housing

_ Public Health

_ Transportation

X Flooding

_ Environment

_ Governance and Customer Service
