Background and Discussion:

This amendment will provide H&H and Geotech analysis and documentation for the reaccreditation of the Inverness Forest levee. This project includes H&H and Geotech analysis for the reaccreditation of the Inverness Forest levee, and preparation of 44 Code of Federal Regulations 65.10 compliance documentation to support a request to reaccredit the levee. This amendment is to provide for additional analysis and documentation which became necessary as a result of unexpected conditions in the field.

 

Expected Impact:

This amendment will support the effort to reaccredit the Inverness Forest levee, which will provide regulatory and flood insurance relief to those protected by the levee and is a prerequisite for the FEMA release of the MAAPnext data.

 

Alternative Options:

The alternative to approving this item would be reimburse Pape-Dawson for this necessary work out of a different funding source to be determined later, which would result in reallocation of funds from other efforts not currently budgeted for this expense.
