COUNTY OF HARRIS §
THIS AGREEMENT is made, entered into pursuant to the Interlocal Cooperation Act, TEXAS Gov'T
CODE ANN., Chapter 791, and executed by and between the Harris County Flood Control District,
a body corporate and politic under the laws of the State of Texas, hereinafter called"HCFCD"or the
"District"and the City of Pearland, a municipal corporation and home-rule city under the laws of the
State of Texas, principally located in Brazoria County, Texas, hereinafter called "Pearland,"each a
party, and collectively, the parties.
RECITALS:
WITNESSETH, that
WHEREAS, Pearland desires to construct and maintain a 10-foot wide public hike and bike trail and
pedestrian bridge with related appurtenances along the northeast side of HCFCD Unit A100-00-00
approximately 750 feet in length, hereinafter called the "Trail;" and
WHEREAS, the District has no objection to Pearland using the property in which the District owns
an easement (hereinafter the "Property") for the purposes stated herein, subject to the conditions
hereinafter provided; and
WHEREAS, the parties recognize that flood control and drainage is the paramount public purpose of
the HCFCD Unit along which the Trail will be constructed and maintained by Pearland; and
WHEREAS, a map/layout of the proposed alignment of the Trail, which has been reviewed by the
District personnel and is shown in Exhibit "A" attached to this Agreement for descriptive purposes
only.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements and benefits to both
parties, it is agreed as follows:
TERMS:
I.
Plans and Specifications
After the approval of this Agreement by the Commissioners Court of Harris County, Pearland will
furnish to the District, more specifically the District Watershed Coordination Department, for the
District's written approval, detailed construction plans and specifications conforming with the
District's Policy, Criteria and Procedures Manual (PCPM), (hereinafter the "Plans and
Specifications") for the Trail. All proposed trail related appurtenances must be shown on the plans
submitted for review and approval. After the approval of the Plans and Specifications by an
authorized representative of the District, an authorized representative of the District will so notify
AGREEMENT NO. 1301
Pearland that the District allows Pearland's use of the Property for the purpose of constructing and
maintaining the Trail.
II.
Construction
Only after receipt of the notice of the approval of the Plans and Specifications from the District,
Pearland, at Pearland's sole expense, shall commence to construct, and shall proceed diligently
until completed (but in no event longer than one (1) year from the commencement of construction of
the Trail, unless the District's Executive Director or his designee(s) (hereinafter the "Director")
determines in his sole discretion that good cause exists to extend the time in which the Trail is to be
completed), the Trail in a good and workmanlike manner and in substantial accordance with the
Plans and Specifications, which have been approved in advance by the District for such purposes.
HCFCD approval of Plans and Specifications does not relieve Pearland of the duty to ensure that its
Trail and appurtenances do not obstruct HCFCD access to channel infrastructure for maintenance
and repair. If any conflict arises between the provisions of the Plans and Specifications and the
provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be controlling and binding upon the parties
hereto.
If any portion of the Property is covered by an agreement between the District and the United States
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Harris County, or any other party, then those agreements take
priority over this Agreement and Pearland must obtain the consent and approvals from said parties,
in addition to District approval, prior to undertaking the construction or maintenance of the Trail.
Upon request and payment of duplication costs, the District will furnish Pearland with an electronic
copy of any such agreement then in effect which covers any portion of the Property across which
Pearland proposes to construct or maintain a Trail.
If third party encroachments on the Property adversely affect Trail construction or maintenance,
Pearland will coordinate with the third party to remove the encroachments with due consideration to
relevant property rights and applicable law or, if necessary, Pearland may petition for such removal
from a court of law. The District will not assist with or participate in any action for the removal of
existing encroachments affecting Trail construction or the removal of new encroachments placed
after Trail construction.
Trail construction shall provide positive drainage. Pearland shall not construct, install or place
improvements or property or plant vegetation that blocks access to HCFCD standard maintenance
equipment or as needed for HCFCD projects.
III.
Compliance with the Law
Pearland shall comply with all requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Texas
Architectural Barriers Act, and all other laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations, and other
requirements, now or hereafter in force, of all federal, state, and local governmental bodies and
agencies which are applicable to the Property and the Trail. Pearland shall be responsible for all
permits required for the construction of the Trail and all consents required to be obtained from any
applicable governmental agency or underlying fee owner.
• • AGREEMENT NO. 1301
IV.
Maintenance and Repair
Pearland shall maintain in good repair and in safe condition the Basic Maintenance Area or
Extended Maintenance Area, as defined below, the Trail and all associated improvements and
appurtenances constructed or to be constructed along the Trail. In addition to the other
maintenance responsibilities described below, Pearland is responsible for warning of and making
safe a dangerous condition within said maintenance areas for the protection of the public. Pearland
shall barricade or cause to be secured sites along the Trail that pose a threat to public safety,
including but not limited to sinkholes, failures of retaining walls, slope failures, erosion, Trail
infrastructure or appurtenances, until Pearland can correct the dangerous condition.
Pearland acknowledges that the Trail or one or more of its improvements and appurtenances could
adversely affect the condition of the Property's flood control features. Therefore, in the event the
Director, in his sole discretion, determines that the Trail or one or more of its improvements or
appurtenances has damaged or destroyed a flood control feature of the Property, or compromised
channel integrity then all such property of the District so damaged or destroyed shall be promptly
repaired or replaced by Pearland to the satisfaction of the Director and in accordance with the
criteria set forth in the District's PCPM. However, in lieu of said repair or replacement, Pearland
shall, if so required by the Director, pay to the District money in an amount deemed sufficient by the
Director, in his sole discretion, to compensate for the loss sustained by the District as a result of
damages or destruction to said flood control features. Pearland shall perform its obligations as
specified herein regardless of who or what necessitated the repairs or replacement and without the
aid or assistance of the District or the District's equipment, personnel, or materials.
In addition, the Director may remove at Pearland's cost or demand immediate removal of those
portions of the Trail or appurtenances that have damaged a flood control feature or channel integrity
or which may block access to HCFCD's desired use of the Property.
a. Basic Maintenance
Basic Maintenance tasks described in this subsection shall be performed in the Basic
Maintenance Area. The Basic Maintenance Area shall be the side of the bayou on which the
Trail and related amenities and appurtenances are or will be constructed, installed, or
placed, between the boundary of HCFCD's right-of-way line and the top of bank of the
bayou; or as otherwise provided in the Plans and Specifications approved by HCFCD as
provided herein. Pearland is responsible in its planning and construction of the Trail and
appurtenances to ensure free and unobstructed access to the channel infrastructure and
slopes by HCFCD's maintenance and repair equipment as determined by HCFCD or its
contractor without regard to the existence of the Trail and appurtenances and dictated by
mowing categories based on site characteristics as defined in HCFCD's Vegetation
Management Manual. If a Trail or appurtenance obstructs HCFCD maintenance or repair
access or necessitates a mowing category change at any location along the Trail, Pearland
maintenance responsibilities for the Trail and Property, from the point of obstruction or
mowing category change to the Districts next designated unobstructed point of access, will
change from Basic Maintenance to Full Maintenance, as defined below. Within the Basic
Maintenance Area: Pearland shall maintain and keep in good repair and safe physical
condition (e.g., cracks, potholes, and other physical attributes) the Trail and related
amenities and appurtenances, including but not limited to pavement, slope, bridges,
stairways, railings, landscaping, traffic control signs, and shall mow, edge and trim the grass
at such time intervals so as to keep same from attaining a height of more than nine (9)
inches, and remove trash, paper, debris; silt shall be removed from Trails and related
amenities and appurtenances; provide tree maintenance and remove dead or dying trees
•
AGREEMENT NO. 1301
and tree limbs; manage undesirable vegetative species; and empty trash receptacles.
Pearland shall be responsible for proper disposal of all collected refuse or recyclable
material. Dangerous conditions shall be repaired as soon as possible to ensure usability
and safety. Graffiti shall be removed within seventy-two (72) hours of notice to Pearland.
Debris, tree limbs, and silt shall be removed from the Trails and related amenities and
appurtenances within two (2) weeks of water receding from minor and major flood events.
All other Basic Maintenance activities described in this subsection shall be performed at
such time intervals so as to keep the Basic Maintenance Area neat and tidy at all times for
public use. Replacement and removal of plantings shall be approved in advance by
HCFCD. Where a dead, damaged, or diseased tree poses an immediate risk to public safety
all or portion of the tree may be removed as necessary to protect the public without prior
notice provided that Pearland shall notify the District of such removal as soon as practicable.
b. Full Maintenance in Extended Maintenance Area
Where the Trail traverses below the upper maintenance berm or under a bridge
necessitating placement of the Trail on the side slope or on a lower bench, the area from the
District right-of-way to the centerline of the channel and horizontally from a distance of fifty
(50) feet beyond the termination of the hand railing or retaining wall or fifty (50) feet beyond
where the Trail moves to the upper maintenance berm is herein called the "Extended
Maintenance Area." Pearland will be responsible for Full Maintenance of the Extended
Maintenance Area. Full Maintenance is Basic Maintenance, as defined above, plus
Pearland shall mow, edge, and trim said grass from the District right-of-way to the water's
edge. Full Maintenance shall also include repair of channel infrastructure, including but not
limited to repairs of earthen slope failures and erosion, concrete pavement, riprap, outfalls,
culverts or bridges installed for Trail crossings, stairways, landscaping, traffic control signs,
hand railings, retaining walls, headwalls and wingwalls, backslope swale systems, and
drainage features in, around or under the Trail, and all other improvements and
appurtenances constructed or to be constructed along the Trail.
V.
Trail Alteration and Inspection
Pearland will not undertake any alteration to the Trail, any existing improvements thereto, or begin
any construction without first securing the written approval of an authorized representative of the
District of the plans and specifications for the same. All Plans and Specifications must comply with
the criteria set forth in the District's PCPM, as updated from time to time. With the prior written
consent of an authorized representative of the District, Pearland may make minor changes
necessary or desirable during the construction of the Trail. Submission of Plans and Specifications
are not required for minor maintenance and repair work. Pearland shall notify the District forty-eight
(48) hours in advance of the start of any construction, repairs, or modifications. During the term of
this Agreement, the District, its Director or his designee(s) (hereinafter the "Director") may inspect
the Trail and the Maintenance Area to determine whether Pearland is constructing and maintaining
the Trail and performing its other obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
VI.
Trees and No Waste

permitted herein.
VII.

use thereof.

shall be at the sole expense and obligation of Pearland.
The District makes no representation as to the suitability of the soils, condition of existing drainage
infrastructure, or the stability of the channel bank for Pearland's intended purposes.

of its execution; however, it shall continue thereafter on a year to year basis, unless earlier

AGREEMENT NO. 1301
XI.
The District's Rights Paramount
The District has advised Pearland and Pearland is aware that portions of the Property located along HCFCD
Unit A100-00-00 was acquired for flood control and drainage purposes. The District presently uses said
portions of the Property upon which the Trail is to be constructed for maintenance of HCFCD Unit A100-00-
00,and the District contemplates future use of the Property for widening of the drainage facility and for other
flood control and drainage improvements as the need for the same may arise and funds may be available.
The District hereby expressly reserves to itself, its officers, employees,agents,and contractors,the right to
enter upon said Property and Trail at any time for any purpose necessary or convenient in connection with
drainage and flood control work, to flood said Property and Trail, and to make such other use of said
Property and Trail as may be necessary or desirable in connection with drainage and flood control, and
Pearland shall have no claim for damages of any character on account thereof against the District, or any
officer, employee,agent, or contractor thereof. The District shall have no responsibility to replace or repair
any portion of the Trail or its appurtenances that is damaged in the course of such flood control activities. In
the event the Trail or other structures constructed by Pearland are damaged by the District during
drainage or flood control activities or by the flow of water in the channel, or if any of Pearland's
improvements experience structural failure for any reason, the District reserves the right to demand
immediate removal and not to allow Pearland to rebuild the Trail or replace the structures
appurtenant thereto if to do so would in the Director's opinion impede the flow of water in the
channel or impair channel functionality. The District further reserves the right to remove portions of
the Trail from time to time as the Director determines necessary or convenient to accommodate
channel improvements or for access purposes, and further, to not permit Pearland to rebuild same.
The District may determine, in its sole discretion, that closure of the Trail is necessary to ensure the
safety of the public for the duration of District activities. HCFCD may remove without notice, or
demand immediate removal of, improvements or property constructed, placed or installed on the
Property without HCFCD approval. The District shall make every reasonable effort to coordinate
with Pearland on activities requiring Trail closures.
In the event the maintenance, repair or replacement of a flood control feature necessitates the
removal of the Trail or one or more of its improvements and appurtenances or the District
determines that an unauthorized Trail feature must be removed, the District will make reasonable
efforts to provide Pearland with thirty (30) days notice to remove such improvements. If Pearland
fails or refuses to remove the improvements within the notice period, or if time does not permit prior
notice, the District shall proceed with removal and Pearland shall reimburse the District for the costs
of such removal and disposal.
Pearland understands and agrees that the District's County-wide mowing, maintenance and repair
schedules are dictated by the flood control and drainage needs of the entire County, prioritized by
degree of deficiency and available budget. The existence of Trails or other recreational
improvements along an HCFCD Unit has no bearing on the scheduling of such activities, and will
not elevate the timing of mowing, maintenance or repairs to such HCFCD Unit ahead of other
HCFCD Units solely because damage or erosion prevents Trail construction;damage or erosion has
rendered a Trail or other recreational amenity unsafe or unusable;or Pearland's aesthetic standards
are more stringent than HCFCD's standard mowing and maintenance schedule allows. In the event
damage or erosion to an HCFCD Unit creates a dangerous condition within the Basic Maintenance
Area or the Extended Maintenance Area, Pearland must act as provided in this Agreement to warn
of or remedy the condition.
