Site work for a water / sewer project in Baltimore, Maryland. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The City of Baltimore Office of Boards and Commissions has been requested by the Department of Public Works, Office of Engineering and Construction, to advertise for the services of three Civil Engineering firms to provide engineering services to develop a City-wide Hydraulic and Hydrologic (H & H) and stormwater quality model for the City of Baltimore (The City) stormwater drainage system. This project will expand on an existing model already completed on 3 sub-watersheds. The City intends to apply this fully integrate stormwater model to: characterize the performance of the public storm sewer system under multiple rainfall scenarios; simulate various types of potential flood events to determine source, risk, and applicable corrective measures; evaluate the impacts of various stormwater management practices (structural, non-structural, and alternative), proposed development, and potential land use/land cover changes; assess the feasibility, effectiveness and potential impacts (trade-offs) of the City's ability to meet the waste load allocations (WLAs) for regulated stormwater for the Chesapeake Bay TMDL and other local TMDLs; identify and analyze options for replacing/ repairing storm sewers to support the asset management program; study the impact of street trees (leaf drop) and human behavior (litter / illegal dumping) on collection capacity; develop stormwater capital improvement program (CIP) projects and operations enhancements to mitigate flooding and improve the health of City's waterways; and evaluate resiliency and sustainability of the existing and proposed public stormwater assets with respect to conditions identified in the City's Disaster Preparedness and Planning Project (DP3).
