Background and Discussion:

This change in contract is needed to complete the construction contract for this project. Brookglen Stormwater Detention Basin includes the construction of a dry bottom basin, a maintenance path, and a floatable screen system. The purpose of this contract change is to extend the pay item quantities for the concrete channel lining, granular fill, concrete interceptor structure, remove and dispose concrete channel lining, remove and dispose of driveway and sidewalks, and remove and dispose of roadway pavement and subgrade. Also included is the addition of the pay item, cement stabilized sand to replace the lime stabilized subgrade agreed to by Engineer. The contract change includes the addition of 40 days to the contract. These 40 days include 35 days for inclement weather and 5 days for the delay from local pipe explosion.

 

Expected Impact:

This change will allow the contractor to construct the project so that Harris County can realize intended flood risk reduction benefits. 

 

Alternative Options:

This is an active construction contract, so there are not many alternatives to approving a change order other than cancelling the contract which is not recommended as doing so would substantially delay the remaining work in the construction contract.
