Request for approval of amendment No. 2 to an agreement with Freese and Nichols, Inc., in the amount of $500,000, to provide additional program management, engineering, and related services as may be needed in support of the District’s Frontier Program in the Upper Langham Creek Watershed.

Background and Discussion:
The Upper Langham Creek Frontier Program provides regional detention benefit for new development within the program service area based on 2012 court-approved program guidelines. The service area extends from John Paul Landing basin at the upstream end to Greenhouse basin at the downstream end. Development is ongoing along Langham Creek just downstream of SH99. Freese & Nichols, Inc. has been providing technical oversight and review for the Program since 2017 to ensure development occurs in accordance with program guidelines. An agreement amendment is required for continued program technical support as program is soon to enter its next phase for development upstream of SH99. The amendment would increase the limit of appropriation from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000.
Expected Impact:
Continued support by consultant that has significant historical knowledge of the program to ensure development and analysis occurs in accordance with program guidelines and District criteria. Efforts will provide overall regional benefit to community within the program service area and will ensure no impacts to others upstream or downstream of the program limits.
Alternative Options:
Discontinue agreement, which would result in loss of critical technical support and historical knowledge needed for program success.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
_ Transportation
X Flooding
_ Environment
_ Governance and Customer Service
