title
Request for approval to negotiate an agreement with DE Corp. to provide preliminary engineering, design, bidding, and construction phase engineering services in support of the Fondren Diversion Channel project channel improvements on HCFCD Unit D140-00-00.

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 construction of additional stormwater detention volume in the vicinity of tributary D140-04-00. The project area is near the intersection of Beltway 8 and West Airport Boulevard in Harris County Precinct 1. This project is funded as part of the 2018 Bond Program under the Bond ID F-08. This project occurs in the 2nd quartile under the 2022 Prioritization Framework approved by Commissioners Court.
Expected Impact:
The PER report will evaluate the multiple potential stormwater detention basin sites along tributary D140-00-00 and D140-04-00. Once the project is constructed, it will mitigate the flooding issue along Beltway 8 and West Airport Boulevard.
Alternative Options:
An alternative option is to select another consultant; however, that would result in delays to this project, further delaying flood risk reduction in the area.
