Background and Discussion:
The purpose of this transmittal is to apply for grant award funds from the GBEP IIJA program to fund PER and design for the U502-11-00-E001 Bear Creek Golf Course Stormwater Detention Basin Project in the Addicks Reservoir Watershed. The grant would fund PER and design for the Bear Creek Golf Course Stormwater Detention Basin Project. There is no required cash match for this grant.
Expected Impact:
The objective of the U502-11-00-E001 Bear Creek Golf Course Stormwater Detention Basin Project is to per-form preliminary engineering to determine the best solution for flood risk reduction infrastructure in the Bear Creek Golf Course. If awarded, the GBEP grant will fund the PER. PER will determine specific number of structures and area benefited by the SWDB.
The Flood Control District will utilize its resources and applicable consultants during the design and construction phases of the project, as well as the management of the grant approval process in compliance with Harris County statutes, applicable laws of the state of Texas, and Policy regarding Federal Grant Awards.
Alternative Options:
The alternative is to not apply for the grant funding, wherein the project is not completed, or the project will need to be entirely funded with local funding.
