Background and Discussion:
HCFCD Unit Q100-00-00 has a long history of flooding and has been included in previous Cedar Bayou Flood Risk Reduction Study. The preliminary engineering report (PER) is needed to determine the best use of flood mitigation along this channel, to identify the require ROW and support other large-scale flood reduction efforts in the Cedar Bayou Watershed. The preliminary engineering effort is complex and requires review of other past and ongoing efforts along Q100-00-00 and the surround area, detailed H&H modeling, right-of-way (ROW) identification and conceptual design. This court action is to allow the Flood Control District to proceed with the preliminary engineering report (PER) stage for the project Q100-00-00-E003. Request for approval to execute the agreement with Carollo Engineers, Inc to provide a preliminary engineering study for HCFCD Unit Q100-00-00-E003. This project scores in the 3rd quartile under the 2022 Prioritization Framework approved by Commissioners Court.
Expected Impact:
This project, part of the Cedar Bayou Watershed Bond Implementation Program, could reduce the risk of flooding for more than 60 structures, could reduce the size of the rainfall event for more than 80,000 acres and could reduce the frequency and duration of flooding for more than 25 miles of roadway in an Atlas 14 1% rainfall event.
Alternative Options:
The alternative should this agreement request not be approved is that the Flood Control District will not be able to proceed with PER stage of the project lifecycle to determine recommended improvements to reduce flood risks in the area.
