Request for approval to execute a utility agreement with Genesis Pipeline Texas, L.P., in the amount of $36,851.08 in connection with E132-00-00 Mitigation Project - 2020, UPIN 21090MF22E01, Precinct 3.

Background and Discussion:
The E132-00-00 Mitigation project is located in Northwest Harris County in Precinct 3. More specifically, it lies to the Southwest intersection of N Eldridge Parkway and Cypress North Houston Road. E132-00-00 is a HCFCD drainage channel, a tributary of White Oak Bayou (E100-00-00) and serves as one of the outfall systems for the subdivisions of Bernadine Estates, Barwood, Tower Oaks and Tower Oaks Meadows. The scope of work for this utility agreement includes excavation of Genesis’ 10” pipeline, the removal of the line and capping the line. An expected 240 ft of pipe will be removed to ensure the abandoned lines are not in conflict with any future work Harris County would like to conduct. The removal work is being performed to accommodate the widening of the channel.
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 community. This utility agreement is a step in the process to reduce the financial, physical, and emotional burden flood damage places on homeowners and will reduce the financial impact of recovery costs to the E132-00-00 Mitigation Project area, Harris County, and FEMA. The fiscal impact for this project will come from the 1080 Fund for the Recovery and Resiliency Division subdivision projects with the long-term goal of reducing drainage costs in the future. No impact to project schedule or staffing anticipated.
Alternative Options:
The only option is to have both parties execute this Utility Agreement.
