BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services is planning to spend over $100,000 with OTT-Hydromet Corp. for the purchase of new flood monitoring equipment. This budget threshold requires us to get OTT-Hydromet Corp. approved as a sole-source vendor with approval from the Board of County Commissioners. This equipment will be installed on High-Hazard Dams in a partnership with the City of Charlotte and as part of an upgrade of the Mecklenburg County Flood Information and Notification Network (FINS). This equipment will help Mecklenburg County be more resilient during flood events and will provide additional data that we do not currently have on the high-hazard dams that the City of Charlotte is responsible for maintaining.
