Preliminary Implementation Planning-Project Phasing
A potential construction schedule for the enhanced flood protection plan within the City of Minot, including timelines for subprojects, will be discussed during council committee meetings the week of January 28th. The Preliminary Implementation Planning document, as requested by the City, will be presented by the engineering team to the Finance and Improvements, and Public Works and Safety committees during regularly scheduled times.
The Preliminary Implementation Planning document, as seen below, shows a potential project timeline indicating environmental studies would start this year, detailed design work would also get underway this year and construction on the early phases of the enhanced flood protection plan would start in 2015. All timelines and schedules are based on specific tasks and key assumptions that are dependent on funding sources, permits and approvals.
A summary of subprojects and an estimated timeline for constructing those projects is shown in the document based on identified priorities. These priorities are, in order of importance; 1) critical regional infrastructure value, 2) City of Minot flood-risk reduction, and 3) anticipated permitting effort.
The information released to City Council also breaks out funding sources for other large-scale flood protection plans in the state, in the cities of Grand Forks and Fargo. The review of these funding sources will help the City of Minot identify potential ways to pay for the Mouse River enhanced flood protection plan.

Preliminary Project Scaling Assessment shows limited cost savings
A study requested by the Minot City Council to determine potential savings of constructing levees and flood walls to lower design flows showed limited cost savings. The assessment studied the fiscal impact of dropping the design flow from the 2011 record of 27,400 cubic feet per second (cfs) to either 10,000 cfs, 15,000 cfs or 20,000 cfs. In all, the project scaling assessment indicated a maximum estimated savings of $30.7 million, or less than six percent - on a project estimated to cost $543 million within the City of Minot ($820 million from Burlington to Velva). The study area within this assessment was limited to the city of Minot.
