Item Text

83. IGA BETWEEN US GEOLOGICAL SURVEY AND THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT FOR WATER RESOURCES INVESTIGATIONS Approve Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) FCD 2023A009, between the United States Geological Survey (USGS) [Agreement #23ZFJFA00079410 (USGS)] and the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (District), for the period of October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2024, for collection of streamflow data on local watersheds throughout Maricopa County. The total cost of the IGA is $319,390. The District’s costs under this agreement will be $209,640, with the USGS contributing the remaining $109,750. In addition, USGS will facilitate Federal Priority Stream gaging Funds of $52,410. Payments from the District are to be made quarterly. The agreement covers costs associated with the maintenance, collection, and publication of stream flow data and river reach characteristics at seven continuous stream flow monitoring stations and 14 peak flow monitoring sites throughout Maricopa County. This agreement will further develop and evaluate long-term flood histories on watercourses in Maricopa County and provide information critical to determining the risk of flooding in these watercourses. The information generated by the USGS’s ongoing work is vital to the safety of Maricopa County residents and the continuing hydrologic studies performed by the District. This agenda item impacts all Supervisorial Districts. (C-69-24-030-X-00)
