Edinburg Pump Levee

The project proposed includes design and construction (design-build) for rehabilitation improvements for the Rio Grande levee at Edinburg Pump Station in Hidalgo County, Texas. The proposed work is located completely within the United States in the USIBWC Lower Rio Grande Flood Control Project but is directly adjacent to the international border with Mexico. The pump station is located at Peñitas, Texas and is operated by Hidalgo County Irrigation District No. 1 (HCID1). While proposed work will be located on USIBWC right-of-way, the Contractor would have to obtain a construction easement from HCID1. The levee is also adjacent to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) border wall. The proposed work is to be performed to provide flood control to the area and provide levees that meet FEMA requirements (44 CFR 65.10) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Engineering Manual 1110-2-1913. The proposed project generally consists of design and construction of approximately 800 linear feet of levee improvements, including earthen embankment, concrete floodwalls, and associated ramps. The proposed levee rehabilitation design will include analysis/investigations of the existing levee for seepage remediation and raising the top of levee as needed, conducting any additional geotechnical investigations and testing required, and assessing all structures within the levee for rehabilitation. HCID1 has constructed a portion of floodwall on the gap between their pump house and USIBWC's levee. The proposed work will require coordination with HCID1 to tie-in the design and construction to the floodwall they built. Coordination with their contractor may also be required. Design and construction would include appropriate levee tie-in to the pump house structure and account for sensitivity in working adjacent to the pump house. The proposed design and construction of the levee improvements at the border wall would also require incorporating DHS tactical infrastructure requirements and coordination with DHS to design and construct different types of border wall at specific sections.
