pulvial line exhibits for the various design storm
events as provided in Appendix B of NRCS Technical Release 55 ( TR55). Based upon these
scenarios, HMM will provide critical storm data, directly from the model ( if compatible) or
in tabular format to the City' s GIS department. The objective is for the City GIS department
to create a map of the various flood areas for the critical storm event( s). HMM services in
this task shall include the following efforts:
Model Calibration Adjustment
Historic storm events shall be reviewed relative to storm rainfall volumes, measured
stream flow rates and documented flooding extents and timing. Hydrologic and
hydraulic parameters, including unit hydmgraph/ peak rate factors, runoff CN
numbers, channel roughness coefficients ( Manning' s N), initial water surface
elevations and base flow rates, shall be modified based upon collected gauge data,
historic or measured data and questionnaire responses as furnished by area residents.
Parameter adjustments shall be made to calibrate the model results to match
documented timing of water flows, surface elevations and extents of flooding. A
meeting shall be held with City staff to discuss calibration efforts and results and
identify final model revisions that are required prior to proceeding to the Design
Storm Simulation phase.
Design Storm Simulations
Model simulations shall be generated for the 10, 25, 50 and 100 year critical storm
frequencies. For each of these critical return periods, several storm duration
simulations shall be modeled to determine the controlling critical slam, event for
each node. Maximum stages for each return frequency and duration shall be
compared to warning stages identified for each node. All nodes which experience
flooding conditions shall be identified showing the maximum height reached above
the warning stage and the duration and extents of flooding for each of the critical
design storms.
Model results shall be checked for continuity and stability concerns. Nodes or links
within the model that exhibit anomalous behavior in stage or flow ( i. e. oscillations,
divergence, etc.) shall be identified and addressed as necessary.
Model Results Meeting and Design Criteria Finalization
A meeting shall be held with City staff to review results, model simulations and
identify required revisions to the final model prior to analysis for design alternative
development. One component of this meeting will also be to compare model results
against the current City Land Development Code so that the City may determine if
code revisions may be desired. This may affect the future scenarios used to identify
and prioritize capital improvements.

HMM will present design criteria for City consideration. The City will approve the
design criteria used for design alternative development and prioritization. Examples
of criteria established at the meeting are:
1. Level of service desired
2. Concurrence on Critical Storm events
3. Prioritization of non/ transportation related flooding
4. Prioritization Categories and Weightings ( as described below)
Task 4 Design Alternative Develonmenh.
This task shall involve the development of design alternatives to address capacity and
flooding issues, preparation of opinions of probable construction costs for the various
alternatives and the evaluation and prioritization of the recommended drainage
improvements. The following efforts will be completed by HMM under this task:
Development of Design Alternatives: The final design storm simulation results
shall be used to identify areas flooding in the existing conditions analysis. A
conceptual design alternative for each area shall be developed to determine necessary
drainage infrastructure improvements required to provide for the following:
Eliminate roadway over -topping at culvert(bridge crossings during the
100 year storm event for all primary arteries and evacuation routes.
Eliminate roadway over -toppings at culvertfbridge crossing during the 25
year stone event for all secondary arteries and collectors.
Contain the 25 -year storm event within the banks of all open channels.
Limit flooding during the 100 -year storm event to streets and yards.
Minimize street and yard flooding during the 25 year storm event.
Provide for future growth/ development in the basin where feasible.
Opinions of Probable Costs: Preliminary Opinions of Probable Costs shall be
prepared for all the design alternatives which were considered. Construction costs
with quantities and unit prices, costs for land acquisition ( i.e., pond sites and
easements or right -of -way), engineering costs including design, surveying, permitting
and inspection, and contingencies such as mobilization, traffic control and utility
relocations shall be included in the Opinions of Probable Costs. Unit price data shall
be obtained either from the City of Fort Walton Beach or the FDOT Historic cost data
base. Land acquisition costs shall be estimated jointly by City and HMM staff and
are acknowledged to be rough order of magnitude costs.

Alternatives Evaluation and Prioritization: All proposed design alternatives shall
be " scored" using a decision matrix consisting of seven major categories similar to
that identified as follows:
1. Flooding Improvement
2. Provides for Future Growth
3. Constmctability
4. Permit- ability
5. hmpacts to Environmentally Sensitive Areas
6. Dependency /Independency ( on other design altematives)
7. Cost Versus Benefit.
Categories are typically given a particular weight based upon importance and then
scored on a scale from 1 to S. For example, categories 1 and 7 may be determined by
the City to be twice the relative importance as categories 2 through 6. Therefore,
their weighting would be 2, while categories 2 through 6 would have a weighting of
1. Total points are summed for each design alternative.
The matrix scores shall then be utilized to prioritize the proposed improvements
within a basin and compare them to proposed improvements from other basins. The
resulting prioritizations shall be used to add projects to the City Capital
Improvements Plan ( CIP) list in a logical manner consistent with the City' s needs,
goals, and funding.
Design Alternative Results Meeting: HMM shall meet with City staff to discuss the
results of each design alternative proposed, the decision matrix rankings and identify
any required modifications to the evaluations prior to preparation of the stormwater
master plan document.
Task 5 City of Fort Walton Beach Smrmwater Master plan Document:
This task will involve the preparation of a comprehensive stormwater master plan document
to be provided to the City of Fort Walton Beach. This document shall at a minimum detail
the data collected, data inputs and input development information, existing conditions
analysis, design alternatives analysis and rankings resulting From the modeling effort.
