Concepcion Creek Federal Grant

The City of San Antonio's Public Works Department is seeking Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from engineering design firms through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to undertake a crucial project in the Concepcion Creek watershed. This initiative aims to mitigate the severe impact of a 100-year flood event in an area where over 2,200 structures are currently at risk, with FEMA's forthcoming floodplain map expected to include nearly 1,900 additional structures. The primary objective is to prevent significant flooding and subsequent property devaluation due to floodplain regulations. The contract is slated for a duration of 365 days, with an estimated completion timeline by December 2025, and the project's budget is capped at $1,845,462. The scope of work outlined in the contract focuses on designing local detention ponds that are coordinated to mitigate the 100-year flood event. Key deliverables include a comprehensive design summary report, an updated hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, and confirmation that the design aligns with local standards to ensure no adverse downstream impact. Additional tasks include developing 40% design plans, evaluating necessary property acquisitions, and providing an updated opinion of probable construction costs for detention facilities. The contract work will be conducted within the Concepcion Creek watershed area in San Antonio, Texas, with the goal of delivering a design that meets both safety and regulatory requirements for flood mitigation.
