Box 1115 <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br /> <br />RE: Master Drainage Plan for <br />Harris County Flood Control Unit FIOl-OO-OO <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Speake: <br /> <br />We are pleased to inform you that the Master Watershed Study for the <br />Lomax area, Harris County Flood Control District Unit No. FIOl-OO-OO <br />has been completed to the satisfaction of the Flood Control District, <br />and approved. A complete advanced copy of the final report is enclosed <br />for your records. Please note that this final version has been <br />revised in accordance with our July 23, 1987, letter agreeing to <br />address a number of concerns expressed by City staff. <br /> <br />To assure continued coordination of our efforts with the City of <br />La Porte, representatives of the Flood Control District plan on <br />attending the regular meeting of City Council scheduled for <br />August 24, 1987, to answer any questions concerning this project. To <br />facilitate the presentation of the report, a brief synopsis is <br />enclosed consisting of the report summary and selected displays. <br /> <br />To implement the improvements the Flood Control District is <br />recommending that $3,000,000.00 be budgeted in the proposed Harris <br />County bond program which is scheduled to be voted upon in November. <br />It is our understanding that additional funding will be forthcoming <br />from the City of La Porte and possibly the Southern Pacific Railroad. <br />We will coordinate the project with the Texas Department of Highways <br />and Public Transportation as well. Provided sufficient funding can be <br />obtained from the various interested parties, it will be our <br />recommendation to proceed with the ultimate improvements as <br />recommended in the report. Currently we are negotiating an <br />engineering services contract with our consultant for the production <br />of construction plans and specifications based on the now completed <br />preliminary engineering report. <br /> <br />9900 NORTHWEST FREEWAY, SUITE 220, HOUSTON, TEXAS 77092 713.684.4000 <br />
