Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to excute a Contract for Engineering Services with LAN, Inc. for the Neighborhood Stormwater Modeling 2016-2018 Work Authorization.
Body
The work authorization contract with LAN, Inc. is to support City staff with neighborhood storm water modeling including developing and/or updating models to identify and assess the flooding issues within neighborhoods and existing storm drain systems. Some modeling under this task may require unusually complex storm drain, overland flow, and creek interactions. The City’s drainage staff have identified several “high hazard” neighborhood flooding issues. High hazard issues are classified as structures being damaged due to water entering the home or place of business due to localized flooding events. Stormwater modeling is needed across the City to help identify the severity of impact and cost effective solutions for these flooding issues. Next steps will be prioritizing projects and allocating funds to continue the neighborhood drainage CIP program to help mitigate neighborhood flooding.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval.
