Background and Discussion:
This Amendment will provide additional efforts for engineering services needed for the completion of design and construction for Poor Farm Ditch Conveyance Improvements project.

The project seeks to reduce flood risks and strengthen resiliency in the Brays Bayou watershed by alleviating property and structural damages to the adjacent communities. This project will ensure the channel is brought to design capacity and to continue to provide drainage to approximately 1,330 acres of the developed watershed.
