The professional services Agreement recommended by this Mayor and Council Communication is for the Mobile LiDAR (Light Debection and Ranging) project; 8 survey data collection and OOodp|oin mapping project that will correct FEMA O0odpkaiD mapping ernonS, resulting in 8 direct economic benefit to negatively affected property owners. The project VViU8\G0qU8Ddf»theDUn1he[aOdh/peSof dock and pier structures in Lake Worth, enhance emergency response operations, and develop detailed topographic information to assist in trail and park enhancements around Lake Worth. On September 25, 2009, FEMA updated all of the floodplain maps for the City of Fort Worth. The City is required to use these maps so that affordable flood insurance will continue to be available to our residents, and the premiums will be reflective of the actual risk. Unfortunately, the 2009 floodplain maps included many significant errors, incorrectly placing as many as 500 homes and businesses in the floodplain. The City of Fort Worth is required by federal regulations adopted by our Floodplain Provisions LOguumc:Z0M{}BlLB[lDAJI Puoc] of3 Ordinance torequest re-mapping of incorrect FEMA floodplain boundaries when the boundaries are known to be inaccurate. The average cost to a resident of Fort Worth for a flood insurance policy in a floodplain is approximately $050.00 per year. Force-placed flood insurance policies through mortgage companies are frequently two- three times more expensive. The errors in this particular situation COuk] impose as much as $1.4 million im unwarranted flood insurance premiums on Fort Worth property owners. Mobile LiDAR technology will be utilized to quickly and accurately survey each of the project are8sto determine h> what extent the floodp|8in must be re-mapped. Contour data generated by the Mobile Li[)AR survey will be used to determine accurate boundaries of the FEMA floodplain and finish floor elevations for all insurable structures in the project @r88S to provide the required proof to FEMA and mortgage companies. This project will greatly reduce the amount of staff time required toassist the property owners in this area and establish UVodp|ain maps that are reflective of the actual risk offlooding. Stormwater staff is also coordinating with Water Department to include a survey of dock and pier structures in Lake Worth, as well as developing detailed topographic information for use in park and trail planning. A normal pool elevation contour for Lake Worth will also be created, and emergency response operations will benefit by identifying the most flood-prone areas. The technology will also be evaluated 8s an alternate method of determining impervious cover for UU|itv rate billing. Fina||y, the high-resolution elevation data will be used to model existing storm drain systems and feasible improvements in the Hulen Bend project 8[e8. The VV@ier Department is funding $99.707.00 for the Lake Worth shoreline survey. The Sun/8y of the lake perimeter will include documenting boat dock locations and data to be used during the planning of the trail system. Michael Baker Jr. Inc., proposes 0O perform this project for a |urnp-sunl fee of $427,798.00.
