Site work for a water / sewer project in Moore, Oklahoma. Design plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

As of January 5, 2024, per owner, an engineer has been identified. There is no general contractor at this time. Engineer is working on Final Design and the City is Applying for Grant Funding. Contractor bidding and construction timeline is to be determined. The City of Moore, Oklahoma, is seeking qualifications from professional engineering firms to prepare plans and specifications for the Southmoore High School/Oaks Addition Drainage Mitigation Improvements. This project will be designed with matching State/Federal funding from a Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant with Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) funds and will require compliance with FEMA and City of Moore design standards The City of Moore/Moore Public Schools Hazard Mitigation Plan identified flash flooding as a hazard that is likely to occur. One of the vulnerabilities for flash flooding identified in the plan is the Oak Ridge Addition and the Southmoore High School Detention Pond. There have been several reports of severe flooding in roadways, yards, and residential structures. A detention pond, located on the south end of the Southmoore High School Property, adjacent to the residential structures on Oak Drive has shown to overtop and discharge through the southern spillway. The City of Moore's Comprehensive Stormwater Management and Master Drainage Plan determined that storm sewer systems may surcharge into roadways due to the high-water surface elevation in the detention pond. The plan concluded that spillway discharge and a storm sewer system with inadequate hydraulic capacity are the causes of flooding in this area. Once the nearby vacant land is developed, there will be more strain on the current storm sewer system. This project will be designed with matching State/Federal Funding from a Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant with Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) funds and will require compliance with FEMA and City of Moore design standards. The scope of services for this drainage improvement project has been summarized and is included in Exhibit "A". The design shall be based upon normal and acceptable standard professional engineering practices.
