Specifications include, but are not limited to: A. Comprehensive Drainage Master Plan The goal of the master plan is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of existing drainage conditions throughout the City and the Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) by developing an accurate and current understanding of the City’s drainage infrastructure and potential solutions to problems, both now and in the future. This understanding should include a comprehensive inventory, accurate simulation, problem area identification and problem source/cause, and a comprehensive list of Capital Improvement Projects, including costs and funding mechanisms designed to address system deficiencies. The Drainage Master Plan Scope of Services would include: 1. Evaluation of existing data 2. Evaluation of the City’s existing Drainage System 3. Verify the existing City model and prepare new model runs for proposed conditions based on drainage scenarios 4. Development of a Digital drainage inventory and field surveys 5. Development of a Comprehensive Drainage Plan for the City’s two (2) primary Watersheds (Gilleland Creek and Wilbarger Creek) 6. Utilize both the Gilleland and Wilbarger Creek Floodplain data for development of the drainage plan and capital improvement projects 7. Review of applicable local, state, and federal regulations related to drainage and recommended changes to local rules 8. Data collection including limited survey, as required, to verify existing conditions 9. Detailed analysis of known and potential flooding/drainage issues 10. Preparation of an overall drainage area map for the City and ETJ 11. Preparation of a drainage Capital Improvement Plan program that includes budget estimates for proposed improvements 12. Recommended prioritization of CIP projects 13. Best Management Practice (BMP) for maintenance of current and future infrastructure 14. Funding mechanisms for CIP projects including review and recommendations related to a proposed City drainage utility fund 15. Possible Public Outreach The completed Comprehensive Drainage Master Plan shall be consistent with the various adopted City Plans and meets the state, federal and local regulations for water quality. The drainage master plan should also address the notable storm drainage system problems as reported by the public and City staff, which includes: i) extended periods of standing water; ii) high water for extended period(s) (1-2 days); iii) inadequate drainage along some streets; iv) storm water deficiencies in unannexed portions of the City; v) occasional flow over roadways; vi) general concerns regarding stromwater impacts on new development; and vii) stormwater quantity and quality on conveyance systems and facilities. B. Drainage Utility Fee Study The goal of the drainage utility fee study is to determine the feasibility of a stormwater utility fee (or other alternative funding system) for use in equitably funding the City’s efforts in managing the comprehensive drainage master plan. The City desires to utilize the drainage utility fee study information for determination of creating a utility fund that will stand up to known legal challenges and can be implemented in order to create revenue sufficient to operate a significant portion of the City’s drainage master plan capital improvement projects, stormwater maintenance, operation and environmental expenditure needs. The term utility shall be understood as being a system legally billing the public for the services provided. The plan, process, procedure, and workings of the completed drainage fee study report must be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations of the State of Texas. The specific scope of services for the Drainage Utility Fee Study includes: 1. Evaluation of existing data 2. Conduct meetings with various officials 3. Research Drainage Utility Fee Studies and/or ordinances currently in place in other cities and use these as a guide 4. Evaluation of other possible stormwater funding options 5. Determine if a Drainage Utility Fee is needed. If the Fee is warranted, provide a proposed fee schedule based on evaluation 6. Provide a conceptual plan of the public awareness, education, and involvement process including groups that should be involved 7. Describe consultant’s rate modeling approach 8. Prepare and present a final Drainage Utility Fee Report to City including recommendations to achieve the desired outcomes of study The firm selected will also be responsible for attending various City meetings as necessary including making presentations to City Council.
