Body
SUMMARY:
The design of a stormwater management system is based upon several factors, including but not limited to topography and historical rainfall data. Using data pertinent to the stormwater management system design, engineers calculate stormwater flows, and design systems to convey those flows to areas where lives and property are safeguarded.
Over time as subsequent modifications occur to the stormwater basin, stormwater flows are modified and redirected as development occurs and land uses change. It is well known that even the best stormwater management system design is not able to predict with certainty, the impacts and behavior of stormwater for every storm because of widely varying degrees of a given storm’s intensity and duration.
The purchase and strategic deployment of these remote surveillance camera systems will allow staff to monitor and record stormwater impacts as they occur and use their observations to better understand the stormwater system’s performance and make better-understood recommendations for maintenance or improvements to the system.
Authorization to piggyback GS-07F-0031W, Surveillance Equipment, Light Towers, Traffic Safety Equipment valid through October 4, 2024, is requested for the purchase of two Wanco Small-Size Solar Camera Trailers totaling $108,344.56.
