BENDWAY WEIRS
Description
A low wall constructed in a channel or creek and positioned to cause sediment buildup, increase slope
stability, and reverse erosion
Strengths
• Low cost -to -benefit ratio
Weaknesses
• Must have periodic sufficient flow velocity in channel to transport material
• Will probably cause erosion on the opposite creek bank
Typical Applications
• Erosion control in channel applications
Photographs
A: Erosion mat, rock riprap, and bendway weir. Note erosion in unprotected creek downstream.
B: Sedimentation deposits and vegetation taking hold.
2— Alan Plummer Associates, Inc. (Texas Registered Engineering Firm F-13)
CONCRETE LINING
Description
• Concrete lining is an engineered concrete slab lining along the bottom of the channel and the side
slopes rising to a height that sufficiently handles the desired design storm event. This option depends
on proper installation and engineering analysis of the flow depths and velocities. This option works best
where easement width is limited and aesthetics are not an issue.
Strengths
• Economical (low cost compared to other bank protection techniques)
• Relatively low maintenance (except in the event of collapse)
• Most general contractors are familiar with this method and have the ability to install
• Highly effective erosion control where flow is contained within the lined surface
Weaknesses
• Low aesthetic value
• Concrete does not have any measurable permeability
• Concrete lining has a negative environmental impact
• Erosion can occur under the concrete lining and will "bridge" the erosion until catastrophic failure occurs
Typical Applications
• Concrete inverts where grade control is critical
• Where easement width is an issue and flow must be within the easement in a deeper channel
Photographs
A: Concrete lining in channel.
B: Concrete lining in channel.

EROSION MATS
Description
• Erosion mats come in a variety of weights per square yard and in many combinations of synthetic versus
natural reinforcement. Used temporarily to help establish grass on a slope or in the bottom of a swale.
The synthetic reinforcement is usually intended to deteriorate within a specified time table. These
products must be applied with knowledge of the universal soil loss equation.
Strengths
• Inexpensive
• Low -maintenance after vegetation is established
• Easy to install (no special equipment required)
Weaknesses
• If an edge gets caught in a mower, the mat could be pulled up and cause integrity disarray
• Erosion rills can form under the mats
• Usually temporary
• Irrigation is needed for vegetation to grow
• Very limited for contact with high velocities of high -depth flow
Typical Applications
• Used in lieu of concrete where irrigation is available
• Reinforcing side slopes
Photographs
A: Erosion mats combined with gabion mattresses
B: Erosion mats on slopes.

FIBER -REINFORCED SOIL
Description
• Fiber -reinforced soil is similar to fiber -reinforced concrete. These fiberglass fibers are approximately
two inches long, come in a bag, and are dumped out on the ground, spread out with a leaf rake, and
rototilled in with the soil.They are used to provide or increase shear strength to the soil. This method is
used in combination with other materials. It is not recommended for direct contact with flowing water.
Strengths
• Potential to be economical
Weaknesses
• Few contractors have experience with this method
• Experimental and not frequently used
• Should be protected at interface with water
Typical Applications
• Sites where geotechnical slope stability is required
Photographs

B: Installation of fiber -reinforced soil.
5 —Alan Plummer Associates, Inc. (Texas Registered Engineering Firm F-13)
GABION BASKETS AND MATTRESSES
Description
Gabions are rock or broken -concrete -filled wire baskets. The wire is galvanized or vinyl -coated and
twisted (similar to chain link fence, but gabion wire is triple -twisted). The rock is typically six to nine
inches and must be hard and angular like rock riprap. Gabions come in intervals of three-foot lengths.
Strengths
• Flexibility — can tolerate differential settlement or will self -deform or heal erosion under the structure
• Durability — supports plant growth, which acts like a coating on the wire mesh and the roots help the
stones to bond
• Strength — steel wire and hexagonal mesh can withstand forces generated by water and earth masses
• Permeability — free -draining, thus minimizing hydraulic pressure
• Economical — low cost if material/supplier is local and available
• Minimal time to construct
• Unlimited shape configurations
• Use with concrete tiebacks to reinforce retaining wall
Weaknesses
• May be a more expensive option without local material/supplier
• May require specialized contractors
• Damage to the gabion wire caused by large debris may require regular maintenance
Typical Applications
• Used as a steep side slope stabilizer in deeper channels
• Used as retaining walls

HDPE LETDOWN CHUTE
Description
• Imagine a water slide. These chutes have been in landfills to letdown the water from the top of slope to
the bottom. The common alternative solution to using letdown chutes is to introduce stormwater piping
to capture the water and let it down the steep side slopes.
Strengths
• Cost-effective alternative to stormwater piping
Weaknesses
• Deer hooves can puncture the membrane if they hit the HDPE just right
• Experimental, not frequently used
• Specialized equipment needed to repair
Typical Applications
• Not typical anywhere. These are experimental; however, those shown in photographs appear successful
after 12 years of use.

INTERLOCKING CONCRETE BLOCKS
Description
• These are for low-velocity areas and recommended for velocities less than two feet per second
Strengths
• Easy to install, and many contractors are familiar with them
Weaknesses
• Like all erosion protection measures, their weakest area is at the edges and terminations. These blocks
can unravel at the edges.
• Should never use to interface with moving water in a channel or above 100 -year flood elevation.
• Must be engineered carefully, not just stacked.
Typical Applications
• Stabilization outside of channels

INTERLOCKING CONCRETE PAVERS
Description
• Pavers are for low-velocity areas and are recommended for velocities of two feet per second or less
Strengths
• These blocks have voids that can be soil -filled so that grass can grow in the spaces
• Reduce runoff and is often more permeable than concrete paving
• Economical with a broad range of applications
• Can work in conjunction with a stormwater management program or LEED certification
Weaknesses
• Low-velocity applications only
• Ground compaction and settling can cause surface elevation differences
The block can unravel and fall apart
Typical Applications
• Bank and streambed stabilization

MISCELLANEOUS EROSION CONTROL MEASURES
Description
• Rock check dams, coconut logs, and silt fences are most frequently used on SWPPP, but at times can be
used successfully when combined with other features for longer-term solutions.
Strengths
• Cost-effective
• Can be used in conjunction with other erosion control methods
Weaknesses
• Only intended for the lowest -velocity, lowest -flow -depth applications
Typical Applications
• Should be used in conjunction with the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) or Revised USLE (RUSLE).
These equations will estimate the tons of soil loss per year, based on the vegetative cover, slope length,
velocity per channel, depth of water in the channel, soil erodibility, etc.

ROCK RIPRAP
Description
Rock riprap is hard, angular stone of a graded size intended to interlock and provide protection from
water scour. The riprap is angular so as to provide internal friction against moving water. Rock riprap
must be "placed"—not "dumped"—to optimize sizing. Rock size selected is dependent upon both
velocity of water and depth of water.
Strengths
• Economical (low cost compared to other bank protection techniques)
• Relatively simple construction with no special equipment or construction techniques necessary
• Easily repaired by adding stone to damaged areas
• Vegetation can often grow between rocks, increasing stability of the bank and improving habitat value
• Riprap structures are flexible and are not impaired or weakened by settling or other minor adjustments
• May be considered as an environmental habitat
Weaknesses
• Expensive if stone is not readily available
• If not properly installed or sized, the rock material may wash out to the bottom of the lake
• There is a potential for theft/vandalism of the rock material
Typical Applications
• Used to prevent/repair wave erosion
• Used in conjunction with concrete lining to stabilize side slopes
Photographs
A: Creek shore application.
B: Channel schematic.
13 —Alan Plummer Associates, Inc. (Texas Registered Engineering Firm F-13)
VEGETATION
Description
• Mowed grass, tall grasses, sedges, shrubs, trees, etc.
Strengths
• Many would argue that mature vegetation equals erosion control
• Environmentally attractive
• Aesthetic benefits
• Can be used to support other measures
Weaknesses
• May require regular irrigation
• Difficult to reach maturity, may require maintenance over many years to reach maturity
• Erosion control may not be possible until plants are mature
• More difficult for engineer to seal because maturity is required for the roots to provide protection
Typical Applications
• Used in conjunction with concrete channel lining or on erosion control mat to reinforce the side slopes
or overbank

3 Project Approach & Tasks
General Approach
MH has reviewed the project requirements and understands the responsibilities, limitations, and tasks of
providing concrete drainage channel repairs. Our team will self -perform the majority of repairs except when
trades outside of our strengths are necessary (e.g. electrical, mechanical).
Repairs Tasks and Goals
Our goal is deliver the project requirements efficiently, accurately, and on-time. MH will work with the City
of Lubbock to review the areas in need of repairs. As mentioned in Appendix A of the RFQ, several erosion
control measures are available. It is our understanding that one of said erosion control measures will meet
the needs of the repairs. However, each location is unique and will require separate consideration. It may
be necessary to consult third -party erosion engineer to review the proposed solution in special
circumstances. MH will advise on items requiring special attention such as necessary shoring or
excavation plans beyond what is allowable by Subpart P, Part 1926 of CFR 29 (OSHA regulations for
excavations). Below are our general tasks and approach to the Project.

Opinions of Probable Cost
It is anticipated that significant consideration will be given to cost of the project. MH's costs will be itemized
into 5 categories: labor, equipment, materials, subcontractors, and overhead/profit and can be made
available upon request.
MH is cognizant of minimum wage requirements including but not limited to the Davis -Bacon Act when
determining labor costs.
Experience
