Title
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH ARCADIS U.S., INC. FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR THE TEREX ROAD DRAINAGE STUDY.
Brief Description: City staff is seeking permission to enter into a professional services contract with Arcadis U.S., Inc. to perform an additional hydraulic study to analyze and identify solutions to overland flooding occurring near properties located at 726, 730, 736, 776, 786 and 896, located along the south side of Terex Road, upstream of the Summit Metroparks Hike near Bike Trail.

Purpose & Explanation
In 2006, Arcadis completed the Mud Brook Watershed Study which included a hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) model of the entire watershed.
One of the streams included in the 2006 study was the major tributary to Mud Brook which drains through the northern portion of the watershed, south of Terex Road, upstream of the Summit Metroparks Hike and Bike Trail (see Study Area Map attached). Through these properties is a network of smaller channels that drain the area around the houses which ultimately drains to the bridge located under the Metroparks Hike & Bike Trail and then to Mud Brook.
In 2009, Arcadis was hired to complete a more detailed hydraulic study of the watershed that includes properties near 726, 730, 736, 776, 786 and 896 Terex Road. The goal of the study was to review on-going, private property flooding occurring at or near the properties. The 2009 study did not identify a solution to alleviate the flooding that was cost-effective and constructable given the lands available.
The objective of this new study is to evaluate additional potential improvements to reduce the probability of flooding in this area including improvements on both public and private property. The scope of the study includes field data collection including a new topology survey, meetings with the City staff and affected property owners, hydraulic modeling updates, concept plans and co...
