Background Information:
The Rio Vista Drainage Improvement project was identified as one of eight infrastructure projects in the City of San Marcos CDBG-DR Infrastructure Feasibility Study performed by AECOM. It was ranked sixth. The scope of work for this contract provides preliminary engineering design through 30% design phase to include environmental analysis to assess potential permitting commitments. The Preliminary Engineering Report will establish design, permitting, survey limits, and utility conflicts on Riviera and River Road west of the railroad.
Funding for these services are from Stormwater funds. Construction is anticipated to be funded with CDBG-DR funds. The Engineering firm Doucet & Associates was selected from the On-call Engineering List approved by City Council in 2017 (217-247).
