Background and Discussion:
This project will provide flood risk mitigation to the tributary P118-23-00 watershed. The purpose of the Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) was to further evaluate and advance the design of the recommended alternative from the Alternatives Analysis study. The recommended project footprint was refined based on right-of-way and technical considerations. It will be further refined in the Final Design Phase to comply with the CDBG-MIT grant program requirements. The proposed condition hydraulic analysis was completed in conjunction with the City of Houston’s Melrose Park Section 2 Area Drainage and Paving Improvement project. Supporting design information collected as part of the PER includes topographic and right of way surveys, geotechnical investigation, waters of the US delineation, cultural resources investigation, threatened and endangered species assessment, and utility investigation.
Expected Impact:
The acceptance of this PER will allow the Flood Control District to move into the engineering stage of this project and finalize the design so that the project can be publicly bid for. Right of way acquisition and utility relocation will also be initiated.
Alternative Options:
The alternative should this PER not be approved is that the Flood Control District will not be able to proceed to the Final Design phase of our project lifecycle.
