SECTION 2 - PROJECT SUMMARY AND SCOPE OF WORK

PROJECT SUMMARY

St. Landry Parish Government desires to hire a qualified consultant to assist in the

development of a Parish Stormwater Master Plan. In particular, the proposed service

includes the collection and review of available office and field data, review of

construction records, review of the capacity of existing drainage systems, the

identification of a program for necessary improvements to the system, and the

incorporation of the program into the Parish’s Hazard Mitigation Plan.

St. Landry Parish has a long history of flooding events throughout the Parish. It has

been a long-term goal of the parish government to develop a comprehensive plan to

reduce risks from flood hazards and to serve as a guide for decision makers as they

commit resources to reducing the effects of natural flood hazards. Over fifty percent of

St. Landry Parish is located inside a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). The SFHA

stretches from the northern borders of the parish, starting around Morrow, Louisiana, all

the way south to Grand Coteau and Arnaudville, Louisiana. These heavy flood areas

are east of Opelousas, with some localized flood zones in the western quadrants of the

Parish.

The development of a stormwater and drainage master plan will be an invaluable tool

for increasing drainage capacity and reducing the risk of flooding, injury, and death

across the parish. The new plan will inform both hazard mitigation and preparedness

measures and future growth of St. Landry Parish. The Stormwater Master Plan will

establish stormwater and drainage goals, inventory and analyze the Parish stormwater

and drainage systems, evaluate regulations and policies, and make recommendations

for improvements, investments, regulatory changes, or other activities and/or

partnerships that the parish should pursue to reach its goals. The plan will include

modeling data and input from public and private community stakeholders. Once

complete, the St. Landry Parish Hazard Mitigation Plan will be updated to incorporate

the information and priorities established by the new plan.

Recent widespread flooding has exposed the need to address flooding on a regional

basis. While this project will deal with the drainage infrastructures located within St.

Landry Parish, the selected consultant may be called upon to participate in the

discussion of a regional solution.

SCOPE OF WORK

The proposed master plan will identify and prioritize necessary or desirable

improvements to the system and develop descriptions and estimated capital and
