Background and Discussion:

Contract 247 is a site construction and site preparation that will allow a portion of the existing HCTRA facility to be used by Precinct 2 for their East Aldine Maintenance Camp location.  The project is substantially complete, with only minor work on the original scope accompanying added scope of work left to be performed.  As such, the Contractor has requested and HCTRA concurs that the retainage on the project be reduced.

 

Expected Impact:

No additional funding is required as the project is substantially complete.  The payment of the release retainage will come from the Toll Road Authority approved funding for the project.

 

Alternative Options:

No other recommended solutions.  Should this request be denied, the retainage would be released upon project final completion and the final pay estimate is processed.  However, doing so may delay the Contractor’s ability to pay his subcontractors.
