Background and Discussion:
This project includes sediment removal, and the repair of erosion and infrastructure damage caused by the Harvey and Memorial Day storms across thirteen (13) sites in the Cypress Creek Watershed.

The contract change includes an extension of 89-days which consists of 70-days to complete additional erosion repairs on K124-00-00, and 19-days due to inclement weather.
