In plain language — from the agenda backup

This greenlights a contract with Vieux & Associates to build out a flood early-forecasting, mapping, and modeling system — plus the user interface that lets Watershed Protection actually read it — for a city that knows its way around a flash flood. The deal runs one year with up to four one-year extensions, capped at $2,200,000, with $220,000 already set aside in the current Watershed Protection budget and the rest depending on future funding.
