SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
As part of the FY 2000-2001 budget for Bond funds under a 1998 bond issue, City Council approved $1,250,000.00
for the Little Cedar Bayou watershed improvements. This was to end in the consb1Jction of a regional in-line
detention pond project to serve the Harris County Flood Control (HCFCD) 216-00-00 watershed. The F216
Regional Detention Pond Project consists primarily of the design of a large detention pond along the F216 stream
between Spencer Highway and SH 146 to double as flood relief and a recreational park facility.
Surveying will be completed by Baseline Corporation per the attached agreement. The company of Binkley &
Barfield shall serve as the design consultant and general contractor to needed surveying and enviromnental
subcontractors. On June 8, 2004, the City received a revised proposal in-line with city expectations of design phase
services. The proposal was received in the amount of $131 ,234.00.
Staff has reviewed the proposal submitted and detennined that the proposal from Binkley & Barfield Inc. is within
the budgeted amount for engineering and contingency for this project. Binkley & Barfield, Inc. is well qualified to
perform the work. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with
Binkley & Barfield, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $131,234.00 to facilitate design.
Action Required bv Council:
Consider approving an ordinance to authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract for design services with
Binkley & Barfield, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $131,234.00 to facilitate design. City Staff recommends
approval.
