ANDERSON CONSULTING ENGINEERS, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $160,681, PLUS $39,319 IN
CONTINGENCIES RELATED TO THE FOUNTAIN CREEK LEVEE CERTIFICATION PROJECT
NO 10-095 (SW0903) AND AUTHORIZING THE PRESIDENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO
EXECUTE SAME
ISSUE
Should the City Council approve an agreement with Anderson Consulting Engineers Inc for
professional services related to the Fountain Creek Levee Certification Project No. 10-095
(SW0903)?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The Fountain Creek Levee System consists of 1,387 feet of reinforced concrete floodwall on the
west bank of Fountain Creek and 8,340 feet of earthen and soil cement levees on the east bank of
Fountain Creek. FEMA requires that all levees providing flood protection meet FEMA’s 65.10
Accreditation Criteria and be certified by registered professional engineers before flood plain
mapping (DFIRM) will reflect levee systems as providing flood protection. The certification process
is a complex process involving several engineering disciplines.
Anderson Consulting Engineers, Inc. was chosen from a list of prequalified engineering
professionals submitting proposals for the Fountain Creek Levee Certification Project. Engineering
services are outlined in attached Exhibit A. Exhibit B reflects flood plain expansion if the Fountain
Creek Levee System is not certified. Approximately 1,050 structures would be brought into the
flood plain requiring an estimated annual flood insurance premium of ± 3.6 million dollars. Levee
certification will insure the flood plain delineation will reflect levees providing protection from the
100-year flood event with the 100-year flood plain confined within the levee system.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $160,681 plus $39,319 in contingencies shall be expended from the
Fountain Creek Levee Certification Project No. SW0903 for a total of $200,000 from the Stormwater
Enterprise Fund.

Total Task Cost = $160,681.
4.B SCOPE OF SERVICES — SUPPLEMENTAL WORK
The initial scope of services assumes that all the data and materials required for certification of
the Fountain Creek Levee System are available and will meet FEMA's requirements for accreditation. If
data is unavailable or materials are inadequate then none, some, or all of the following supplemental
services may be required.
4.B.1 Data Collection and Review Total Task Cost = $0
ACE does not anticipate any additional work effort associated with this task.
4.B.2 Field Inspection and Surveying Total Task Cost = $0
ACE does not anticipate any additional work effort associated with this task.
4.B.3 Freeboard Evaluation Total Task Cost = $5,348
If needed, to verify freeboard adequacy ACE will perform one additional update to the hydraulic
analyses reflecting proposed improvements such as dredging and /or vegetation removal etc. A table of
proposed 100 -year water surface elevations, available freeboard, and required freeboard will be
provided in a summary memorandum
4.8.4 Closure Evaluations Total Task Cost = $0
ACE does not anticipate any additional work effort associated with this task.
Pueblo Fountain Creek Levee RFP.doc 4 4 ANdERSON CONSUITINq ENCjiNEERS, INC.
4.B.5 Interior Drainage Evaluation Total Task Cost = $4,366
The outlet pipe hydraulic analyses completed in Task 4.A.5 may need to be updated to reflect
changed taiiwater conditions associated with dredging and vegetation removal or other improvement
alternatives that impact the hydraulic analyses for Fountain Creek.
4.B.6 Embankment Protection Evaluation Total Task Cost = $6,078
If available data does not support certification of the size, gradation, and amount of riprap
placed on the levee embankment; then pebble counts will be performed to verify that the in -situ
material is capable of protecting the levee from erosive forces during the 100 -year flood event. Pebble
counts will be performed at no more than eight (8) locations on the levee.
4.B.7 Embankment and Foundation Stability Evaluation Total Task Cost = $50,641
If deficiencies are identified during the evaluation of available information in Task 4.A.7 then a
detailed geotechnical and /or structural investigation may be required.
Geotechnical Field Exploration, laboratory Testing, and Analyses
• Perform 10 soil borings along the length of the levee;
• Perform complete soils analysis on all soil borings;
• Seepage and stability analyses for 6 additional cross sections along the levee;
• Additional structural analyses of the floodwall, parapet walls, retaining walls, and wingwalls and
headwalls; and
• Prepare memo detailing all geotechnical and structural analyses.
4.B.8 Sediment Transport Risk Assessment Total Task Cost = $17,362
If during the course of the sediment transport evaluation in Task 4.A.8 it becomes apparent that
the available sediment information is not adequate to support re- certification of the levees /floodwall
than ACE will evaluate sediment deposition potential for the subject reach. ACE will perform the
following;
• Develop a 1- dimensional HEC -RAS mobile bed sediment transport model,
• Provide estimated channel geometry changes as a result of deposition or aggradation,
• Provide an estimate of the time period over which freeboard may be lost due to
deposition, and
• Identify localized areas where deposition may be more prevalent.
4.6.9 Settlement Potential Evaluation Total Task Cost = $2,560
Pueblo Fountain Creek Levee RFP.doc 4.5 ANdERSON CONSULTING ENGINEERS, INC.
If during the course of the settlement evaluation in Task 4.B.9 it becomes apparent that the
available settlement information is not adequate to support certification of the levee system than
potential settlement analyses will be performed at six (6) additional locations. The settlement analyses
will utilize the information collected in Task 4.A.1 and new data obtained from supplemental Task 4 B.7
The results of and documentation supporting the additional settlement analyses will be
provided in a summary memorandum.
4.8.10 Operation and Maintenance Plan Total Task Cost = $8,036
If the review of the O &M plans in Section 4.A.10 indicated deficiencies in the plans; then the
Certification Team will assist The City of Pueblo with developing modifications to the O &M plans which
will meet the requirements of 44 CFR Section 65 10 The O &M plans must be officially adopted by the
city to be accepted by FEMA for the current and future certification efforts.
• Assist City staff in updating the O &M plan to meet FEMA criteria,
• Address tamarisk and sediment management in the channel, and
• Prepare an O &M Plan that will be acceptable to FEMA for levee certification, and
• Put in place an O &M record keeping system that will greatly reduce the cost of levee re-
certification in the future.
4.B.11 Levee Certification Submittal Preparation Total Task Cost = $20,137
If the Fountain Creek Levee System does not meet all of FEMA's requirements for accreditation
then an evaluation report and compliance plan will be developed The Evaluation Report will include
(a) a summary of the geotechnical settlement and stability investigation;
(b) a summary of the structural investigation;
(c) the location of interior flooding areas;
(d) the existing Operations Plan, Maintenance Plan, and Flood Warning Plan and any
recommendations for improvements to the plans;
(e) a summary of and documentation supporting the City's ownership of the levee system,
(f) a proposed accreditation schedule, and
(g) the identification of any known issues that could influence the schedule and ultimate success of
the accreditation process.
If the field inspections and /or analyses completed during the criteria review do not fully support
the Fountain Creek Levee System's accreditation, potential improvements will be identified to address
the deficiencies and a Compliance Plan will be developed. The Compliance Plan will attempt to resolve
the following potential issues through the formulation of alternatives acceptable the City
