Purpose and Request:
title:
Recommendation to accept a Preliminary Engineering Report titled "Channel Conveyance Improvements along HCFCD Unit M124-00-00 from FM 2920 to Willow Creek" and proceed with design and construction. (Willow Creek Watershed, Bond ID F-37, Project ID M124-00-00-E002, Precinct 4).

Background and Discussion:
The objective of this study is to provide a 100-year level of service within the M124-00-00 watershed by excavating a new earthen channel section and widening and deepening the existing channel. Two major roadways are in the watershed, SH 249 and FM 2920. Flooding has been reported on FM 2920 due to the existing ditches overtopping and making the road impassable. Regional stormwater detention basins will also be constructed to mitigate the increase in flows and create no adverse impacts to Willow Creek (HCFCD Unit No. M100-00-00). This is a partnership project with HCTRA and TxDOT both providing funds towards the improvements.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no cost associated with this court item.
