Background and Discussion:
The project consists of roadway reconstruction and drainage improvements within Eisenhower Park in Harris County Precinct 1. The purpose of the project is to enhance public safety and improve the overall quality of life by rehabilitating the existing roadway pavement and upgrading the drainage infrastructure. These improvements will provide better driving conditions, improve pedestrian safety, and mitigate drainage issues for residents and park visitors.
The change in contract includes the following:
The line items are adjusted to reconcile overrun, underrun quantities and add new line items on the project for completion of the proposed scope of work.

• The decrease in quantities due to underruns of existing line item numbers 1, 3, 4, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 24, 36, 41 and 42 results in a deduction of $186,201.38.
New Line Items:
• Added line Item 43 - Backfill Pavement Edge with Flowable Fill for an addition in the amount of $5,959.56 and zero (0) calendar days.
• Added line Item 44 - Install Sod, Complete in Place for an addition in the amount of $4,580.00 and zero (0) calendar days.
