Councillors will discuss awarding the tender for the £6.4 million scheme between Dundee Airport and Camperdown Dock on Monday, 23 January.
Features include building set-back walls and flood defences to provide a one in 200 year (plus climate change) standard of protection. Once completed, the project aims to reduce the risk of flooding to local residents, community and business properties, as well as the new open recreational space at Slessor Gardens.

Councillor Will Dawson said: "This scheme is one of more than 40 that the Scottish Environment Protection Agency prioritised for Scottish Government funding just a year ago.
"Since then a considerable amount of work has gone into making the plans a reality so that we can reduce the risk of flooding to residents, community and business properties and the new open recreational space at Slessor Gardens officially opened last summer.
"If this tender is approved we would hope to see work start on site before the end of the month with a target of completing it next spring."
