Background and Discussion:
Recommendation to Reject all Bids for Drainage System Sediment Removal and Disposal - North for the Harris County Flood Control District.

The apparent low bidder for the project was deemed non-responsive by the DEEO. The second low bidder's bid was unbalanced, and the remaining two bids were twice the engineer's estimate and exceed the budget.

Expected Impact:
HCFCD will re-evaluate and rebid the project at a later date.

Alternative Options:
Accept an unbalanced Bid to the detriment to the District.

Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
_ Transportation
_ Flooding
_ Environment
_ Governance and Customer Service
