PROPOSED STUDY
1. Scope of Work. Please review the attached Scope of Work as identified and developed by your
Regional Flood Planning Group (RFPG) that will be performed on behalf of your community by the
Texas Water Development Board. Please provide feedback, if any, on the scope of work including
if you would like any changes or have additional information.
The scope of work for this flood study will include data collection of existing Regional Flood Plan Data, San
Antonio River Authority (SARA) models, local models, etc. The data and models will be leveraged as the existing
conditions modeling (minor adjustments to models may be necessary to meet TWDB requirements). The
leveraged existing models will be utilized to analyze the study area and to identify no more than 20 flood prone
areas with the potential to be mitigated. With community input, the list of flood prone areas will be trimmed to 10
or fewer risk areas. An alternatives analysis will be performed on the selected risk areas to analyze and develop
potential flood mitigation projects. Some survey/field work may be required during the study. At least one public
meeting will be held to engage the community during the study. The deliverables and reporting will include all
the necessary data to include and recommend the analyzed alternatives as a Flood Mitigation Project (FMP) in
the Regional Flood Plan.
2. Description of why this study was selected for the FME Small Communities. Please explain in
your own words why the study should be performed by TWDB. (for example, the study would
benefit from financial assistance from the state, any previous loss of life, critical facilities in flood
hazard area, high risk area of flooding, need to address a specific flooding issue etc.).
The City of Schertz has a very high number of structures including residences, critical facilities, and roadways
within high risk areas of special flood hazard. The City will benefit from this rigorous effort to identify flood risk
solutions to inform future planning efforts and direct investment.
3. Please affirm that the community does not have the resources to perform the study and will
benefit from state funding.
The City of Schertz has a drainage fund and a drainage capital improvement plan, but it is limited in scope and
addresses primarily maintenance needs. The City will also be working on a comprehensive local plan to address
localized nuisance flooding issues. The City does not have the resources to perform an FME study to the level
provided by this program.

4. Redundant Funding. Would redundant funding for activities already performed and/or funded
through another source? Has the proposed study, in part or in whole, been awarded funds by
another funding program (e.g., Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF), Community
Development Grant (CDBG), Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Flood Infrastructure Fund
(FIF), Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT), US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), etc.)?
Yes
No
5. Documentation. Does the Community wish to provide any relevant documents or information that
will be supportive of this study (example: previous studies, survey etc.)? If yes, please list below

6. Is the Community committed to being responsive and engaged with the RFPG, TWDB, and
TWDB's Contractor - including participating in Monthly Study Progress Meetings - over time and as
needed, to ensure successful completion of this study?
By passing Council Resolution 26-R-043, the City of Schertz demonstrates that the community is committed to
being responsive and engaged with the Region 12 RFPG, TWDB, and TWDB's contractor and will participate in
monthly study progress and coordination meetings as needed to ensure successful completion of the study.
