SUBJECT:

Interlocal Agreement (Task Order): LBJ Park Stream Restoration Preliminary Engineering Report (PER)


SUMMARY:

An ordinance authorizing the execution of a task order to the existing Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between the City of San Antonio (City) and the San Antonio River Authority (SARA) in the amount not to exceed $350,000.00 reimbursable to SARA for development of a preliminary engineering report for stream restoration of Tributaries E & F to Salado Creek within Lady Bird Johnson Park located in Council District 10; and, approving the acceptance of in-kind services provided by SARA in amount not to exceed $86,000.00 for the procurement, contract administration and project management related to the LBJ Park Stream Restoration PER.


BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

This project will study and identify sustainable natural channel design solutions to address the severe erosion and degradation of the existing natural channel in LBJ Park. The impacts of the erosion evidenced within the channel include broken concreted channel sections, undermining of the channel, bank failures, channel widening within the earthen channel sections and development of streamlets in the park. Additional deficiencies noted in the channel are exposed utility encasements and associated broken concrete with utility conduits clearly exposed. As well as ponding issues as a result of debris accumulation due to the existing elevation of a pedestrian bridge. The Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) will help identify ecologically sensitive recommendations providing a sustainable natural channel design which will stabilize the channel banks, improve the quality of the storm water within the LBJ Park channel and minimize any downstream impacts.
