Background and Discussion:
This agreement will provide preliminary engineering report for the support of Right-of-Way Acquisition, Design and Construction of Wallisville Outfall. The preliminary engineering report will include hydraulic analysis for three alternatives for stormwater detention basin and channel improvements, and to evaluate the costs and benefits of each alternative, and to make recommendation of most feasible alternative. The project area is located at the Hunting Bayou Watershed along the channel H125-00-00, just north of the intersection of I-10E and I-610. This project is funded by the 2018 bond program, charter ID F-17. This project occurs in the 3rd quartile under the 2022 Prioritization Framework approved by Commissioners Court.
Expected Impact:
The project seeks to reduce flood risks and strengthen resiliency in the Hunting Bayou watershed by deepening of the existing channel, increasing culvert capacity and proposed a detention basin to mitigate increased flooding in the Gellhorn Drive area.
This agreement is to prepare a preliminary engineering report in support of Right-of-Way Acquisition, Design and Construction of Wallisville Outfall Project.
Alternative Options:
The alternative to approving this item would be not to continue PER, design and construction, which would result in flood risk will remain the same.
