Background and Discussion:
The project is located in northwest Harris County, north of Cypress North Houston Road and east of North Eldridge Parkway. The existing drainage system consists of roadside ditches which outfall to the west of the subdivision via 24 to 36-inch pipes at three points along HCFCD Channel K161-00-00 and to Cypress Creek from a fourth outfall at the northeast corner of the subdivision. The scope and proposed improvements include bringing the subdivision roadways into compliance with Harris County Standards, constructing storm sewer underlying roadside ditches, regrading roadside ditches, upsizing and replacing driveway culverts, replacing driveways, and the construction of a storm water detention basin.
The Change in contract is needed to reconcile the overrunning items with the underrunning items adding new line items to the contract. Below is a summary of changes:
• The increase of quantities on installation of Reinforced Concrete Pipe Items (items 41 and 62) for an addition in the amount of $43,967.35.
• The decrease of quantities on underrun line items (Item 39, 40, and 61) for a deduction in the amount of $463,449.84.
• Added new line Item# 115 REINFORCED CONCRETE PIPE, C76, CLASS III, TONGUE & GROOVE (18"), line Item# 116 REINFORCED CONCRETE PIPE, C76, CLASS IV, ARCH PIPE (18”), and line Item# 118 REINFORCED CONCRETE PIPE, C76, CLASS III, TONGUE & GROOVE (24") for an additional cost in the amount of $643,503.31.
• The above additions and deductions resulted in a net addition to the contract in the amount of $224,020.82 and 0 days.
Expected Impact:
This project seeks to reduce flooding and strengthen resiliency in Harris County by assisting in the alleviation of structural flood damage to homes in the Tower Oaks Plaza Subdivision.
Alternative Options:
