ITEM SUMMARY

To approve an expenditure for engineering professional services for Winding Hollow Drainage Improvements, Project No. ENG-D-00006, in the amount of $379,000 from Halff Associates, Inc. for the Engineering Department; and authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. Approved

BACKGROUND

The Engineering Department recommends approval of an expenditure in the amount of $379,000 for engineering services from Halff Associates, Inc., for the Winding Hollow Drainage Improvements.

 

This project includes reconstruction of the culvert that crosses Winding Hollow Lane at the outfall of Willow Bend Lake Number 1.  The proposed culvert will provide increased capacity to address roadway flooding that occurs during significant rain events and will allow this section of Winding Hollow Lane to be removed from the FEMA 100-year floodplain.   

 

The project also replaces the roadway pavement and water line along Winding Hollow Lane from Mariners Drive to Seascape Lane. 

 

Halff Associates, Inc., was deemed most qualified based on their previous experience with drainage/erosion improvements, roadway and water line replacement projects, as provided in their Statement of Qualifications submission for RFQ No. 2021-0377-XR.

 

Not approving the expenditure would result in continued flooding over Winding Hollow Lane, as well as, continued deterioration of the roadway pavement, erosion along the streambank downstream of the creek crossing, and continued maintenance/repair of the existing water line.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY/STRATEGIC GOALS

Funding for this item is available in the 2023-24 Municipal Drainage CIP.  Engineering Professional Design Services for the Winding Hollow Drainage Improvements project, in the total amount of $379,000, will leave a balance of $30,000 for future project expenditures.

 

Approval of this item will support the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factor of being an Excellent, Innovative, and Accountable City Government.
