Bill Preston, PE, Community Development Director
Transmitted via email to en ineerinc y kimawa gov with cc to BiII,Preston@yakimawa.gov
City of Yakima, Community Development Department
Dear Mr. Preston:
WEST Consultants, Inc. (WEST) would like to submit this proposal, including a proposed scope of work and cost
estimate, in response to the City of Yakima's request for proposals for "Hydraulic Analysis Project" to complete a
comprehensive hydraulic analysis to determine the adverse impacts from construction of a single-family home in the
floodplain at 1010 South 91st Ave, in Yakima; in order to understand the hydraulic characteristics, identify potential
issue, and propose conceptual solutions. We believe that we are in a unique position to conduct this study for the
City because: (1) WEST developed the effective FEMA study on the creeks affected by this study for Yakima County,
including within the City of Yakima, and (2) WEST developed the CLOMR and LOMR for the Anderson Park
development. In addition to this direct experience, we have extensive knowledge on numerical hydraulic models that
might be applied to this hydraulic analysis, including HEC-RAS 1 D and 2D, and SRH-2D. Staff included for this study
have taught HEC-RAS 1 D and 2D courses throughout the country, and we have applied SRH-2D for over 85 studies
for Washington DOT.
WEST will maintain continuity of knowledge and experience by proposing Keelan Jensen, PE, as the Project
Manager, Raymond Walton, PhD, PE, as the lead QA/QC, and Sarah Harvey as the GIS and mapping lead. Keelan
managed the Anderson Park hydraulic study using HEC-RAS and numerous WSDOT culvert replacement studies
using SRH-2D. Ray managed all the FEMA flood insurance studies conducted in Yakima County and has applied
SRH-2D to several WSDOT culvert replacement studies. And Sarah performed all the GIS analyses and mapping to
local and FEMA standards. We believe that no other team can offer this level of experience and expertise!
As Vice President and the Office Manager for our Bellevue operations, I can commit to providing this team to execute
this important study. We are looking forward to working with you and the City on this important study.
Sincerely,
Andrea Kammereck, PE

information (including the major 1996 flood), topographic
data development, hydrologic analyses, hydraulic
analyses, floodplain mapping and post -preliminary
DFIRM processing.
Ground surveys of channel cross -sections and structures
were collected using a combination of GPS and Optical
Total Station equipment. Overbank area topography
was acquired from existing LiDAR data.
All work was being performed in accordance with the
standards specified in FEMA's Guidelines and
Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners.
The hydrologic analysis for this study was unique in that
a Flood Frequency Analysis (FFA) was applied using the
combined data from two gauging stations with different,
and overlapping, periods -of -record to create a
significantly longer period -of -record on which to base the
analysis.

HEC-RAS was used to model this complicated system
with multiple channels, numerous flow splits and
overbank flow paths. The RAS model consists of over
1,200 cross -sections, 34 reaches and dozens of culverts,
bridges and lateral structures. Upon completion of the
hydraulic modeling HEC-GeoRAS was used for post -
processing results and to help guide detailed floodplain
mapping. After thorough in-house and independent
FEMA (NSP) review, the submitted digital floodplain and
floodway maps was used as a basis for developing
DFIRMs for Yakima County, WA.
Bachelor Creek
In addition to the Ahtanum Creek study, WEST also
conducted flood insurance studies on Cowiche Creek
and the Naches, and an analysis of the Shaw Creek
bypass, for Yakima County. In fall 2011, we conducted
an HEC-RAS training class for County staff.

Spring Creek Tributary CLOMR/LOMR HLA Engineering and Land Surveying, Inc.
WEST Consultants, Inc. (WEST), in association with
HLA Engineering and Land Surveying, Inc., and
Cottonwood Partners, LLC, prepared both Conditional
Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) and Letter of Map
Revision (LOMR) submittals for Spring Creek Tributary 1
in Yakima County, Washington. A development being
proposed on the north bank of Tributary 1 required
grading adjustments in the mapped floodplain.
At the time of the study, the effective Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Study
(FIS) for Tributary 1 included overflow reaches both
upstream and downstream of the project area. During
the study, three additional overflow reaches were added
to the hydraulic model in the study area to better define
the flow paths in this hydraulically complex location.
These flow paths were defined using a basic 2D model

in HEC-RAS, then creating reaches along primary
observed flow paths in the 1D model. Division of flow
along the flow paths was determined using the Flow
Optimization routines within HEC-RAS.
For the hydraulic analysis, proposed (for the CLOMR)
and as -built (for the LOMR) grading was incorporated
into existing LiDAR for the area. Floodplains were
delineated for 1%-annual-chance (100-year) and 0.2%-
annual-chance (500-year) flood events and for study
area. The regulatory floodway was also extended. A
floodplain workmap, revised floodway data table and
flood profiles, and annotated/revised FIRM panels were
prepared. The LOMR submittal was approved by FEMA
with minimal comments on the modeling and mapping,

During the CLOMR process, WEST and HLA
coordinated with the county to adjust the proposed
grading and construction plans to improve flow paths
near the proposed development.

WSDOT Fish Barrier Replacements — WSDOT State Hydra
As part of WSDOT's ongoing effort to replace fish barriers
under highways statewide, WEST has participated in
developing Preliminary Hydraulic Design (PHD) and/or
Final Hydraulic Design (FHD) reports for more than 85
highway stream crossings throughout western
Washington. Crossings have been located on highways
ranging from small two-lane rural roads to wide multi -lane
interstates and major state highways.
In completing PHD and FHD reports, WEST performed
various site and desktop assessments for each site,
included sediment sampling, collection of bankfull widths,
identification of a reference reach for design of the
proposed crossing, assessments of hydraulic and
geomorphic conditions of each stream, and development
of appropriate hydrology for the site.

cs Office
Using the collected and available data, a 2D hydraulic
model was developed using SRH-2D for each site,
which included both the existing and proposed conditions.
These models were used to assess existing hydraulic
conditions and to verify that the proposed design will
meet fish passage criteria. In many cases, additional
scenarios representing "natural", or pre -development,
conditions were also developed. These SRH-2D models
were also used to assess design alternatives for the sites,
when needed. The SRH-2D models incorporated channel
and habitat complexity design features, such as meander
bars and large woody material (LWM) structures, with
enough resolution to determine hydraulic impacts of
these features on the project streams and structures.
Using results from the hydraulic models for each site,
scour was computed for the proposed crossings,
including both lateral and vertical stability assessments,
using HEC-18, HEC-20, and HEC-23 guidelines.
In addition to assessing design alternatives and criteria,
hydraulic model results were also used to perform
preliminary assessments of floodplain impacts and risks
of the proposed design for each of the project sites.
These assessments were used to identify what studies
were needed for the site (CLOMR, No -rise, LOMR), to
meet local and FEMA floodplain permitting requirements.

Scope of Work
In preparing this scope of work (SOW), we propose to expand on existing work and studies rather than starting over.
Specifically, we already have much of the information relating to the 1996 flood in Yakima County, as well as the existing
HEC-RAS flood insurance study of Yakima County and HEC-RAS 2D model for the Anderson Park CLOMR/LOMR study.
We believe that expanding on this work will be consistent with previous work and be efficient (time and cost savings) for the
City.
After reviewing the text of the Request for Proposals (RFP), we first make the following assumptions and adjustments:
♦ The 1996 flood is the largest in recent memory and we already have data from this event. We do not recommend
looking for visible high water marks (HWMs) as they would represent smaller, more frequent events and be of
limited use for our analyses.
During the Anderson Park CLOMR/LOMR study, WEST developed a 2D model using HEC-RAS. The purpose of
this model was to determine flow paths around the proposed fill placement to direct more detailed HEC-RAS 1 D
modeling. For this current analysis, we recommend further development of the HEC-RAS 2D model. Having
extensive experience with the SRH-2D software, we believe that it would be very time -intensive to align the grid to
define houses within the fenced area and then remove them from the grid. Rather, we propose to include houses
within the fenced area by modifying the terrain. As HEC-RAS uses all the terrain information beneath each cell
(rather than at the cells corners as in SRH-2D), this will simplify model development and achieve the same
objective, and also allows us to build on the existing HEC-RAS 2D model rather than starting a new model. We
should note that either approach assumes that water cannot enter the houses.
We have not included a geotechnical engineer for this study because we do not believe that scour is a major issue
at either site, and WEST staff are well trained in scour evaluation studies.
♦ We assume that the City of Yakima will provide any building permits needed.
We will obtain any as -built drawings needed from the developers of the home in the floodway and Anderson Park
(HLA) or from the City of Yakima.
1. Site Assessment and Data Collection
Before the site assessment, GIS staff will locate the FEMA sections on a site map using GIS coordinates. The team will
also review existing flood information, especially the 1996 flood. We will download the most recent LiDAR data (from 2020)
and develop 1-foot contours of the project sites. We will use aerial imagery from Google Earth and review the time history
of project development.
WEST staff will travel to Yakima to review the single-family home in the floodway and the Anderson Park subdivision,
During this site visit, we will identify any clear flow paths and look for signs of scour. We will photograph and use camera
GPS positioning for any signs of flow paths, locations of FEMA cross sections, fences within the project area, scour, and
other relevant features. We assume that the City of Yakima will provide the needed access permissions. We will pay
specific attention to the construction of fences to determine whether they might have the ability to block or redirect any flood
floods. We will not determine whether the fences could be certified as barriers to flood flows.
2. House in Floodway
We have briefly evaluated the home in the floodway (at 1010 South 91st Avenue) and determined that ground elevations
from the most -recent LiDAR coverage are below the base flood elevation (BFE) from the effective FEMA flood insurance
Wage
study. We will review the available information, including from the site assessment, and consider possible mitigation
alternatives.
3. Model of Anderson Park
WEST Consultants worked with HLA Engineering and Land Surveying, Inc. (HLA) on the CLOMR/LOMR for the Anderson
Park development. The purpose of WEST's analysis was to redefine the floodplain and floodway to allow the development
to be constructed on fill placed above the BFE. The CLOMR and LOMR were approved by FEMA and construction
occurred outside of the redefined floodplain. We understand that since then, a number of homes have constructed fences
within the revised floodplains and floodways. The City wishes to understand whether these fences might obstruct and re-
route flood flows, and to understand have they could influence flow patterns and potential scour.
During the Anderson Park CLOMR/LOMR study, WEST
developed a 2D model using HEC-RAS. The purpose of this
model was to determine flow paths around the proposed fill
placement to direct more detailed HEC-RAS 1D modeling. For
this analysis, we recommend further development of the HEC-
RAS 2D model.
The latest LiDAR coverage (2020) does not include the finished
Anderson Park development. This was completed in 2023.
Therefore, WEST will obtain the CAD drawings of the completed
development and convert them to a terrain that includes the
houses constructed with the fenced area. We will blend this
information with the LiDAR coverage to create a "with
development" terrain. As HEC-RAS uses all the terrain information beneath each cell (rather than at the cells corners as in
SRH-2D), this will simplify the model development and achieve the same objective and also allow us to build on the existing
HEC-RAS 2D model rather than starting a new model. We note again that either approach assumes that water cannot
enter the houses.
We will model unique features, including higher ground (such as roads) and fences using "breaklines" that can be converted
to the "lateral structure" feature of HEC-RAS. Breaklines converted to lateral structures will be given ground elevations for
features such as roads or "high" elevations to prevent the overtopping of fences.
The previous HEC-RAS 2D model provided inflows from the west at a "narrow" part of the effective FEMA floodplain where
flows are well defined. The flows from the FEMA model were used as inflows to the 2D model. We will use these same
inflows to be consistent with the effective FEMA studies and the Anderson Park CLOMR/LOMR studies.
We will evaluate the Mannings n roughness values from the previous 2D model and update these values as appropriate.
Sources of information include the National Land Cover Data Base, aerial photographs and site reconnaissance. The
development of roughness values is not an exact science and often requires input from experienced modelers. Several
situations will be carefully evaluated, including roughness values for areas with mixed use, such as homes (not included in
the terrain) and gardens and streets, and areas exhibiting shallow flooding where roughness values are often
underestimated by inexperienced modelers. We will prepare the roughness coverage for the model and share with City
staff for review.
9IPage
The HEC-RAS 2D model's project and plan files will be indexed with the project's metdata identifies in the RFP. The flow
files will be indexed with the source of inflows from the effective FEMA model and outflow boundary conditions.
Once the 2D model has been updated (denser grid, roughness layer, treatment of higher ground and fences), we will run a
series of cases and compare results:
A "base" case in which the houses within the fences and the fences are not modeled. This will give us results
similar the effective FEMA model.
A "with house" case in which the houses are modeled (as modified terrain), to influence flow paths, but the fences
are not included.
A "with fences" case in which the houses within the fenced area and the fences are modeled.
We will assume a fourth case might be modeled where the fences are modified in an attempt to mitigate flow
changes.
Output from the model will include plan view elevation contour plots of the terrain surface, locations of monitoring points and
monitoring lines, plots and tables of depths, water surface elevations, and velocities. We will evaluate the velocities to
determine if they might cause scour. The results will be used to compare cases, especially to evaluate the influence of
fence construction on modifying the local flows and water surface elevations.
4. Reports and Meetings
We will prepare two summary reports. The first will cover the site assessment, and include information about site
conditions, evidence of flooding and scour holes, evidence of high water marks (through GPS, descriptions and
photographs), photographs at established FEMA model cross sections, and relevant floodplain/floodway regulations. This
report will also include copies of the field notes, potential roughness values, and recommendations for additional evaluations
and model studies. It will also include some possible concepts for mitigating the houses in the floodway if a possible
solution can be conceived.
The second report will cover the development and application of the HEC-RAS 2D model. It will describe flow patterns with
and without the fences and will include recommendations for fencing in the Anderson Park subdivision. Supporting
information will include digital model files (LiDAR, TIN, etc.), model project files, electronic model files, and any plots created
by the project.
We anticipate two meetings. The first will discuss the findings of the site assessment and possible concepts to mitigate the
house in the floodway. The second meeting will discuss the model study and its findings. Both meetings will be conducted
remotely.
