Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract for Engineering Services with Lockwood, Andrews, & Newnam, Inc. for the Southeast Area 2 - Existing Conditions Drainage Assessment Project.
Body
The City recommends contracting with Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc. (LAN) to perform a drainage assessment and flood risk evaluation for Southeast Area 2, located between East Palm Valley Boulevard and Louis Henna Boulevard, and between A.W. Grimes Boulevard and Kenney Fort Boulevard. This area has experienced localized drainage issues and flooding, as identified by residents, property owners, and City staff. These issues are generally associated with limitations in the existing drainage infrastructure rather than creek flooding.
The proposed engineering services will include detailed hydrologic and hydraulic analyses to evaluate existing drainage systems, identify deficiencies, and determine areas at risk of flooding. The assessment will help the City better understand the causes and extent of flooding and identify potential drainage improvements.
City staff recommends executing a professional engineering services agreement with LAN to perform the drainage assessment and develop recommendations for practical and cost-effective improvements that can be prioritized for future projects.
Cost: $189,455.00
