If the Board fails to approve this project, the City is prepared to develop its comprehensive stormwater master plan as scheduled with City stormwater utility revenues. The loss from Board disapproval would be the design and construction phases of the pilot project. These would be completed at a later date with utility funds. The attached scope of work for the pilot project is also the core of the City's negotiated contract for its citywide stormwater master plan with the selected engineering consultant. This approach insures compatibility with Dade County's stormwater master plan and the Water Management District's approach to local area master planning.
Intergovernmental coordination is an integral part of the City's stormwater management plan.
The anticipated completion date of the comprehensive stormwater master plan is December 1995. The master plan project will also provide an early BMP evaluation for the growing stormwater management program. C.
