Background and Discussion:

This project is located in northeast Harris County in the Jackson Bayou watershed. It is to the west of Beaumont Highway and North of Runnerburg Road. The existing conditions of the Runneburg Estates are roadside ditches that ultimately drains into HCFCD channel R100-00-00. The proposed improvements are to regrade roadside ditches, construct a new outfall, and a new detention basin for the Runneburg Estates Subdivision.

 

The change in contract includes the following:

 

Quantity Adjustment: The Change in contract is needed to reconcile the overrunning items with the underrunning items and adding new line items to the contract. Below is a summary of changes:

 

•                     The decrease of quantities on underrun line-item numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 24, 44, 47, 49, 56, 66, and 70 for a deduction in the amount of $43,261.57.

•                     The increase of quantities on overrun line-item numbers 38, 46, 50 and 52 for an addition in the amount of $10,960.00.

•                     Final adjustments - Line-item numbers 20A and 71 added for an addition of 11,600.00.

•                     Added 38 calendar days to the project time due to a utility conflict encountered.

 

The above deductions result in a net deduction in the amount of $20,701.57 and addition of 38 calendar 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 Runneburg estates subdivision.

 

Alternative Options:

The County could elect to fund the requested task or choose to reject it. However, if not approved, the contractor will not be able to receive payment for work performed to complete the scope of work.
