Project Description:
The project is a multi-phase, multi-year regional stormwater improvement project intended to address severe flooding problems and
improve water quality within a drainage basin area of approximately 1,150 acres. The approximate project boundaries are N. 39th
Street to the west, N. 50th Street to the East, Hillsborough Avenue to the north, and Adamo Drive to the south. City of Tampa
Public Works Stormwater Division is seeking cooperative funding for FY 2014 for design consulting fees, permitting fees, and land
acquisition.
A preliminary stormwater model jointly funded by Hart and COT is currently being developed by the City’s consultant. The model
will establish the existing conditions and be utilized to identify design alternatives.
Cooperative funding for FY 2014 is requested for design support, permitting, and land acquisition. Although the project is primarily
intended to address flooding, it is anticipated that a water quality treatment will also be provided, since much of the runoff from this
area is not treated before ultimately entering McKay Bay. The City’s consultant is expected to provide the updated stormwater
model and final Basis of Design Report (BODR) within 6 months.
