Project Scope and Tasks Town of Elkton is inviting proposals from qualified professional engineering/consulting firms to complete the following: Task 1. Drainage assessment for Big Elk Creek within Chester County, Pennsylvania, Cecil County, Maryland and the Town of Elkton. Conduct a comprehensive drainage assessment of Big Elk Creek, within Chester County, Pennsylvania, Cecil County, Maryland (Cecil County) and the Town of Elkton to better understand the sources of flooding and siltation that are adversely impacting the Town. This would include identification of flood impact areas (precipitation-based, riverine, tidal, or a combination). Current and historic data is available from the U. S. Geological Survey and captured by the USGS Station 01495000 Big Elk Creek at Elk Mills, MD. Task 2. Prioritize flood impact areas and identify potential solutions based on local conditions. Based on the findings and analysis of the drainage assessment, identify and map at risk infrastructure, community assets and properties at risk within the municipal boundaries of the Town of Elkton. Prioritize the flood impact areas and identify potential solutions utilizing data from Task 1 that reduce flood impacts and are permittable. Task 3. Provide Conceptual Designs for up to three of the flood impact areas For the highest priority flood impact areas, develop up to three (3) conceptual designs for the proposed solutions in priority areas identified in Task 2. Concept designs must be located within the corporate limits of the Town of Elkton. These designs should be detailed enough to lead to engineered designs in a subsequent step. Engage the community and governing body for input on the proposed solutions. All solutions and conceptual designs should be permittable and have community buy-in. The community buy-in includes Town Staff, Commissioners, and residents. A draft version of the study must be submitted to the Town of Elkton prior to the final submission. The draft will be shared with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (the funding agency) to ensure that all tasks were completed. The final product will include conceptual designs and a permitting viability assessment for mitigation solutions in the highest priority flood impact areas. Outcome End Date: September 30, 2024 Town of Elkton will be responsible for the following: 1. Produce and submit all the grant reports associated with the funding of this project; and, 2. Work with the selected firm in a cooperative manner to complete the project and to address any unforeseen logistical or technical problems with the project.
