Background and Discussion:
This project is located in northeast Harris County in the Greens Bayou (P100-00-00) watershed, east of John Ralston Road and north of Beaumont Highway. The existing drainage system is comprised of three earthen, trapezoidal open channels (P110-00-00, P110-04-00 and P117-00-00) owned and maintained by Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD). The proposed improvements include re-grading the existing roadside ditches 1,000-feet east and west of the existing drainage channels, replacing inadequate driveway and roadway culverts and channel improvements of the HCFCD Unit Numbers P117-00-00, P110-04-00, and P110-00-00. Other improvements include a detention basin to cause no adverse impacts downstream and Green River Dr close system drainage. This amendment adds design scope for Green River Dr road reconstruction.
Expected Impact:
This project seeks to reduce flooding and strengthen resiliency in Harris County by assisting in the alleviation of structural flood damage to homes in the Houmont Park community. The addition of pavement reconstruction design to the subdivision drainage project will provide construction efficiencies while improving mobility in addition to drainage. The fiscal impact for this project will come from the 1070 Funding for the Recovery and Resiliency Division subdivision projects with the long-term goal of reducing drainage costs in the future.
Alternative Options:
The County could elect to fund the requested task or choose to reject it. However, if not approved, the project may not be constructed as scoped.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
X Transportation
X Flooding
_ Environment
_ Governance and Customer Service
