RFP 6-2025 - 2025 Hermosa Drainage and Sewer Assessment and Improvement Plans

The Town of Hermosa seeks to enhance community resilience to flooding by conducting a comprehensive assessment and improvement plan for its drainage infrastructure throughout town and its sanitary sewer system serving the Ferguson Subdivision. This project will provide detailed evaluations, prioritize mitigation efforts, and develop conceptual designs that position the Town for future funding opportunities. The two primary initiatives are:

1. Drainage Assessment and Improvements – Evaluate and implement strategic drainage solutions to mitigate flood risk across key areas of Town.  Key project areas include but are not limited to the following:
 

• • Residential area south of Highway 40 between Highway 79 and the railroad tracks.  Drainage infrastructure is lacking and existing roads/alleyways are improperly graded in this neighborhood causing ponding stormwater runoff.

• • Fairgrounds Place and Highway 40 -  The existing roadside ditch along Highway 40  is currently blocked by the Fairgrounds Place road. There is no culvert to allow a continuous flow path so stormwater ponds at the southwest corner of Fairgrounds Place and Main Street overflows to the south and east impacting nearby residences.
