Suggested Action:
recommendation
I move the Mayor and Council authorize an expenditure to SMC in an amount not to exceed $21,000 to investigate the source of stormwater flooding at Driskell Park and develop a remediation plan. This task is being facilitated under their existing on-call contract with the City. The Treasurer is authorized to make the necessary budget amendments required to encumber this expenditure.

Summary Background:
As part of a long-term Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Maryland National Capital Park & Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) the City maintains the City and M-NCPPC owned portions of David C. Driskell Community Park. For the past several years there has been a failure of the stormwater maintenance facility adjacent to the parking lots which causes frequent and extensive flooding of a large portion of the parking spaces. City staff have been working with M-NCPPC staff to determine a solution. As part of our MOU, the City will utilize our on-call stormwater engineering and design contractor SMC to perform an investigation of the source of the stormwater flooding and develop a remediation plan. City staff will use this plan to work with M-NCPPC staff to determine the appropriate course of action and which jurisdiction will undertake the remediation in accordance with the terms and conditions of the MOU.
