Background and Discussion:

This Amendment No. 2 will provide additional design, bidding, and construction phase services (CPS) in support Cypress Creek Batch 5 stormwater detention basin and channel maintenance projects. This agreement provides engineering support to the major Cypress Creek channel maintenance repairs, which were separated into five (5) Batch packages under the Bond Program. 

 

Expected Impact:

This amendment will allow the Flood Control District to provide professional engineering and related services as may be needed for this project located within Harris County, Texas. 

 

Alternative Options:

The alternative to approving this item would be procuring another consultant to complete the work, which would result in design and construction delays in the CDBG projects and the work order projects.
