title
Request for approval to negotiate an agreement with Agha Engineering, LLC to provide preliminary engineering, design, bidding, and construction phase engineering services in support of channel conveyance improvements and a stormwater detention basin on HCFCD Unit H125-00-00. (Hunting Bayou Watershed, Bond ID F-17, Project ID H125-00-00-E001, Precincts 1 and 2).
end
Background and Discussion:
This is a request to authorize negotiation for an agreement that will provide engineering services to advance the recommended alternative identified in a feasibility study through preliminary engineering, design, and construction stages. The recommended alternative includes deepening of the existing channel, increasing culvert capacity and a 120 acre-ft stormwater detention basin to mitigate flooding in the Gellhorn Drive area. This project is located at the Hunting Bayou Watershed just north of the intersection of I-10E and I-610. This project occurs in the 3rd quartile under the 2022 Prioritization Framework approved by Commissioners Court.
Expected Impact:
The project seeks to reduce flood risks and strengthen resiliency in the Hunting Bayou Watershed by alleviating property and structural damage to adjacent communities. The project also eliminates street flooding for the 10-year event and promotes 95% reduction in street flooding for the 25-year event. Additionally, the flooding 'duration' of inundated areas during the 50-year event will be significantly reduced.
Alternative Options:
The alternative would be to select another firm for this assignment which would result in significant delays in completing this project.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
_ Transportation
