Agenda Item

Resolution - Water System Operations: Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Contract 18255, with the United States Geological Survey, Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center, for monitoring and analyzing storm water discharging into both Lake Alan Henry and the future Lake 7.

Item Summary

Contract 18255 is an annual joint funding agreement with the United States Geological Survey (USGS), Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center, United States Department of the Interior. This annual agreement pays for required remote and on-site work necessary to maintain, monitor, and analyze data for 6 streamflow gauging stations. Two established gauging stations are at Lake Alan Henry, one gauging station is at Southeast Loop 289, and three stations were recently added within the City of Lubbock. The three newest gauging stations are required for a Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) water rights permit. Measuring Lubbock storm water outfalls provides accounting of developed storm water that can be impounded in the future Lake 7. USGS will maintain the gauging stations and manage the data. USGS also determines the cost for annual monitoring of these stations. Staff recommends awarding the contract to USGS for $112,450, which is the City's portion of the joint funding for the project. This contract is for a one-year term from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025. USGS will fund $8,950 and the City of Lubbock will fund $112,450, for a combined total of $121,400.

Fiscal Impact

The City's portion of this contract, which is $112,450, is funded in the FY 2024-25 Proposed Operating Budget for the Water Reservoir Department.
