Flood Study Services

The vendor required to provide flood study is to improve accuracy of the effective flood hazard mapping and base flood elevations in the vicinity of the water reclamation facility (WRF).
- Tasks:
1. Project management and coordination
•    This task covers managing project delivery, including administration of scope, schedule, and budget, as well as preparing progress reports to accompany monthly invoices. 
•    It also involves coordinating staff assignments, quality reviews, and compliance efforts to ensure appropriate expertise, technical accuracy, and adherence to applicable standards and guidelines.
2. Data collection and review
•    This task is to collect and review the data and information necessary to support technical analyses and updated flood hazard mapping. 
•    Data to be collected may include but are not limited to: the current effective flood insurance study (FIS), flood insurance rate maps (firms), technical supporting data current effective model for fountain creek and the river, topographic data, cross-section surveys, planimetric data, locations, details and elevations of relevant structures, and any other data or information required by act. 
•    The consultant shall be responsible for establishing the needed extent and detail of all data and information collection and including that information in their proposal. 
•    All topographic data and digital base-maps used for flood hazard mapping must adhere to act established standards to ensure accuracy, consistency, and compatibility with national flood risk datasets and regulatory products.
3. Hydrologic and hydraulic modeling
•    This task is to perform updated hydrologic and hydraulic analyses to support a act map revision. the consultant will first evaluate the adequacy of existing hydrologic data and determine whether new analyses are required. 
•    Updated hydrologic modeling will be conducted to generate discharge hydrographs and peak flow estimates using appropriate methods. 
•    Hydraulic modeling, the consultant will develop an approach that accounts for complex flow conditions, including split flow, overbank flooding, and the influence of non-levee embankments. 
•    The modeling approach will be submitted to the client for review and approval prior to execution. 
•    All modeling will be performed in accordance with act guidelines and standards for flood risk analysis and mapping.
4. Public outreach and technical meetings
•    This task is to support public outreach and stakeholder engagement activities, as well as early coordination with act and state agencies working on behalf of act. 
•    The consultant will prepare outreach materials such as maps and presentations, coordinating with local officials, property owners, and community groups, and conducting public meetings or workshops to gather input and present findings.
