Summary
Staff recommended Deal Engineering for a BRIC-funded drainage modeling project (Upper Kasai River Basin) with a $112,500 grant and a $37,500 local match; the board approved the recommendation to proceed so the county may pursue implementation funding.
Staff recommended Deal Engineering to perform drainage modeling for the Upper Kasai River Basin as part of a BRIC (FEMA) resiliency project administered locally through the Mideast Commission. The review panel gave Deal Engineering 70 points versus 61 for the other respondent, and staff noted Deal Engineering’s local knowledge and prior site visits.
The board approved staff’s recommendation so the work can proceed; staff said the scope is intended to position the county to apply for implementation funding once modeling is complete. The presenter described project funding of approximately $112,500 for Bertie County with a $37,500 local match and emphasized that the engineering is a required first step to secure construction funds.
