Information

Request/Subject

Approval to use State Contract No. ADSPO18-207044 with JE Fuller Hydrology & Geomorphology, Inc. for the Post Telegraph Fire Telegraph Fire-Hydrology and Hydraulic Support for Watersheds.

Background Information

JE Fuller/Hydrology & Geomorphology, Inc. has experience in designing and conceptual mitigation measures for post-fire flooding. The company currently has a cooperative contract with the State of Arizona that Gila County can use.

Evaluation

The scope of work for this contract is outlined in the proposal for four watersheds; Bloody Tanks Wash, Russell Gulch, Upper Pinal Creek, and Silver Creek watersheds.

The scope also includes acquiring information for different year event flood models and comparing with FEMA. Debris flow/mudflow considerations and conceptual design for each watershed are a part of the proposal.

Conclusion

To mitigate flooding Gila County needs the information that can be provided through the methods JE Fuller is proposing. The time frame may run into longer than 8 weeks as the scope was developed during the time the fire was still active. The LiDAR may be outdated and the price didn’t include a further expense in that study so another scope may be necessary.

Recommendation

The Public Works Department Director recommends utilizing the State contract with JE Fuller / Hydrology & Geomorphology, Inc. to design modeling for the four watersheds affected by the Telegraph Fire to assist with flood mitigation measures.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to approve the use of State Contract No. ADSPO18-207044 with JE Fuller/Hydrology & Geomorphology, Inc. in the amount of $260,000 to prepare design modeling for four watersheds affected by the Telegraph Fire and assist with flood mitigation measures. (Steve Sanders)
