Initially, one needs to have either a series of photographs of the terrain of the Association's property, or a better endeavor is to visit the site to examine where and why the flooding is occur. One also needs to know what the local geology is, e.g., carbonaceous, terrestrial sand, in order to devise a solution. Additionally, the flooded areas could be converted into artificial wetlands that would soak up the flood waters. Regrading some of the flooded areas may also be possible so that the current flood waters could be diverted or redirected.
Maps of the local are likely to be found in the city hall, or a local university; U.S. flood elevation maps; highway construction maps, and the like. Another type of map maybe one that is from 80-100 years ago, or older, from the Florida Geological Survey, in the state's capitol, Tallahassee.
However, an RFP is not possible at this stage, because there is currently too little information. How can an RFP be created without the tens of items that are unknown at this juncture?
