regulatory requirement) the party to whom the request is made provides the other with prompt
written notice and allows the other party to seek a restraining order or other appropriate relief.
Subject to Consultant's confidentiality obligations under this Agreement, nothing herein shall
preclude or limit Consultant from providing similar services for other clients.

property all written materials created, developed, gathered, or originally prepared expressly for

Services to be provided by the Consultant
Flooding History
The City of Round Rock seeks to document the history of flooding within the city in general, and
specifically along Lake Creek. This project will provide the information that is needed to build
awareness of the need for additional flood control measures, among the public and elected
officials; make the case for funding; and develop informational materials that enhance, organize,
and make accessible the City's existing archive of data related to flooding and flood control.
The proposed work includes three phases: researching, organizing and indexing information, and
developing publications and presentations as required.
Phase 1 - Research
McDoux will conduct historical and archival research, using primary and secondary sources, to
develop a timeline of flooding and flood control activities in Round Rock (and, as applicable,
Williamson County) from 1867 to the present. Sources may include state and local archives,
libraries, museums; City and County records; books, theses, dissertations; news articles; church
and civic organization publications and records; personal collections; etc. All historical and
archival research activities and products will be logged upon collection for future reference.
Additional research may include community engagement activities. Community engagement
activities could include one public outreach meeting; the collection of oral history interviews
from up to 10 people, to be identified with the assistance of the City, which may be conducted
via telephone; and/or a Scanning Day, to collect photographs and other memorabilia related to
flooding from residents of Round Rock.
Phase 2 - Organizing and Indexing
McDoux will provide the following services:
• Classifying the types of research products developed during Phase 1
• Recommending alternatives for organization, storage, and future access
• Indexing and/or developing a searchable, hyperlinked database for long-term storage of
research products
McDoux will coordinate with Michelle Cervantes, Director, Round Rock Public Library, to
ensure that all research products are appropriately identified and sources cited, for potential
inclusion in an analog and/or digital archive.
Phase 3 — Publications and Presentations
Based on the City's direction, McDoux will use the information gathered during Phase I to
develop work products for the City's use going forward. McDoux will develop as many
publications as possible, within the remaining project budget/schedule and as approved in
advance by the City.
Should the City so desire, McDoux can develop grant applications during this Phase in support
of funding for future publications.

Text of Legislative File CM -2016-1203
Consider executing an agreement for professional consulting services with McDoux
Preservation, LLC for the documentation, preservation, and presentation of the City's
flooding history.
This contract will assist the City to document the history of flooding within the City in
general, and specifically along Lake Creek. This project will provide the information that
is needed to build awareness of the need for additional flood control measures, among
the public and elected officials; make the case for funding; and develop informational
materials that enhance, organize, and make accessible the City's existing archive of
data related to flooding and flood control.
The proposed work includes three phases: researching, organizing and indexing
information, and developing publications and presentations as required. Stormwater
staff and McDoux Preservation will collaborate with Michelle Cervantes from the Library
and Joelle Jordan with Planning to ensure our efforts are consistent with previous
historical documentation efforts and formatted for the greatest overall benefit.
