DEPARTMENT: Transportation and Capital Improvements
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The New Braunfels Economic Development Corporation (NBEDC) has worked to develop a list of capital projects to support - through engineering and design and/or construction funding - since the summer of 2022. The NBEDC voted unanimously to approve funding the final design of the Landa Lake Dam project at its March 9, 2023 meeting with Frees and Nichols, Inc (FNI). The final design completed by FNI includes the construction design drawings and an opinion of probable cost for construction.
The repair of the dam will improve global stability of the structure to meet the TCEQ dam safety regulations. The construction of the improvements would add a concrete toe to the existing dam as well as address erosion in the overflow channel to improve stability and maintenance of the channel.
Plans are to bring this item back for potential action and public comment at the April 18, 2024 regular meeting. If approved, the project would commence construction at the end of the 2024 river season.
