O. BOX 17300 FORT WORTH, TEXAS 76102-0300 Apri124, 2024 We are returning the unused portion of funding provided by the City of Fort Worth for the Floodplain Management Services (FPMS) Sump Study project currently on Cost Share 548, Advance Account #685. The letter of agreement signed February 16, 2017, and amended on July 25, 2022, between the City of Fort Worth and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be closed out effective Apri125, 2024. It was determined by our headquarters office that the additional scope did not meet the legal requirement for Section 206 of the Flood Control Act of 1960 extended services. We are no longer allowed to hold these funds in the advance account, or move these funds to the proposed Planning Assistance to States (PAS) project due to our inability to reach a mutually acceptable agreement and therefore, must initiate return unmediately. The remaining amount on the FPMS project is $95,104.02. A check or EFT transfer for the amount above will be sent by our Finance Center in Millington, TN. We will be in touch with the Transportation and Public Works Department, Stormwater Management, to discuss future opportunities within the FPMS and PAS programs. Thank you for helping us resolve this matter. Please contact me at (817) 886-1399 or lcathleen.m.spillane(a�usace.army.mil if you have any questions or concerns. Sincerely, � �, . �i �� . Kathleen M. Spillane Chief, Civil Programs and Project Management Branch M&C Review CITY� COUNCIL AGEND Create New From This M&C Page 1 of 2 Official site of the City of Fort Worth, Texas FO RT'��'0 RT H �"T,�- REFERENCE **M&C 22- 20SW CORPS OF ENGINEERS DATE: 2�22�2�22 NO.: 0119 LOG NAME: 2022 SUMP FLOODPLAIN ANALYSIS CODE: C TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC NO HEARING: SUBJECT: (CD 2, CD 3, CD 7, and CD 9) Authorize Execution of Modification 1 to the 2017 Letter of Agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the Amount of $100,000.00 to Analyze Additional Sump Floodplains 1:7X��]��il��il�►1�7_��[�7►F It is recommended that the City Council authorize sxecution of Modification 1 to the 2017 Letter of Agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (CSC No. 48933) in the amount of $100,000.00 to analyze additional sump floodplains for a revised project expenditure of $200,000. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize execution of an amendment (Modification 1) for additional professional services to analyze aditional sump floodplains based on the 2017 Letter of Agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the payment of funds in the amount of $100,000.00 to USACE to analyze additional sump floodplains. The original services in the amount of $100,000 were authorized by the City Council on 11/1/2016 (M&C C-27981). With this action, the total amount for the services provided under the Letter of Agreement will be $200,000.00. Sump floodplains are flood-prone areas typically found outside levee systems where stormwater runoff collects in low-lying areas when river elevations are high. The services provided will establish detailed base flood elevations for additional sump areas to facilitate flood resilient development, provide accurate flood insurance premiums, and assist with flood risk estimates. Unstudied sump floodplains along both the Clear Fork and West Fork of the Trinity River shown on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) floodplain maps will be updated through this effort. The USACE prepared limited detail studies for these sump areas over 50 years ago, which lack the detail required to establish appropriate flood insurance premiums and flood risk estimates. The USACE is authorized to assist the City of Fort Worth through the Flood Control Act of 1960, and updating the existing studies is the most efficient process to revise the sump floodplains based on current development conditions. The original work defined by the 2017 Letter of Agreement was completed in 2019 and this revision adds additional study areas under the same technical scope. M/WBE Office: A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Department and approved by the MWBE Office, in accordance with the BDE Ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services from source(s) where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible. The program serves COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2, 3, 7, and 9. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation, funds are available in the current operating budget, as previously appropriated, in the Stormwater Operating Fund (52001).
