Background and Discussion:

Deputy Darren Goforth Park and the West Road Stormwater Detention Basin/U506-05-00 is situated along upper Horsepen Creek/U106-00-00 in Precinct 3.  Harris County Engineering and Harris County Commissioner Precinct 3 prepared a design for a pump system to be integrated into the existing stormwater detention basin operation. This is an innovative pilot project exploring the use of pump stations as a method to facilitate flood risk reduction. The Flood Control District intends to contribute a maximum of $3,000,000.00 towards the construction of the project from available Bond Z-05 funds.  Upon completion of the project, Harris County Precinct 3 will maintain and operate the pump system. 

 

Expected Impact:

The joint project and funding structure will facilitate more efficient and cost-effective governmental services.   Lastly, this project is another example of how Harris County and Harris County Flood Control District leverage shared infrastructure to explore innovative solutions to help maximize flood risk reduction benefits.  

 

Alternative Options:

If this Joint Funding Structure is not approved, Harris County Engineering and Harris County Commissioner Precinct 3 will be required to seek additional funding sources to complete the project.
