Background and Discussion:

This change in contract is needed to complete the construction contract for this project. General system repairs in the Greens Bayou Watershed include earthwork, erosion repair, slope failure repair, removal and disposal of sediment accumulation, granular fill and riprap installation, pipe and outfall structure replacement. The purpose of this contract is to increase the contract duration to complete the project. The contract change includes 53 days due to inclement weather, request for information response delays and adjusted work scope.

 

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.
