title
Request for approval of an amendment to an agreement with Buffalo Bayou Partnership, in the amount of $2,750,000, to improve the northern bank west of Jensen Drive to the Union Pacific Rail line upstream of Jensen Drive, by stabilizing the bank and restoring the trail link in the area. (Buffalo Bayou Watershed, Bond ID Z-02, Project ID W100-00-00-E003, Agreement No. 2020-100, Precinct 1).

Background and Discussion:
The northern bank of the Buffalo Bayou, from Jensen Drive to the Union Pacific Rail Line just upstream of Jensen Drive, was significantly compromised after Hurricane Harvey. With the eroding bank, a trail has also collapsed. This is for the request to amend the existing interlocal agreement (Agreement 2020-100) with Buffalo Bayou Partnership to include contribution of funds to stabilize this portion of Buffalo Bayou.
Expected Impact:
Reinforcing the bank will prevent future erosion of the bank, and allow BBP to restore the trail link in the area.
Alternative Options:
Without taking action, further erosion is likely, leading to additional problems, including conveyance issues.
