Background and Discussion:

The project is located in northeast Harris County in the San Jacinto watershed with a small portion in the Cedar Bayou watershed. It is to the south of Barrett Road, east of Crosby-Lynchburg Road, and north of Cottontail Drive. The existing drainage system is roadside ditches. The proposed improvements are to regrade roadside ditches, upsize culverts to increase capacity, and to construct a detention pond for mitigation.

 

The Change in contract includes the following:

 

                     An additional 123 calendar days are requested due to unforeseen delays associated with resolving utility conflicts involving CenterPoint Gas lines. These conflicts, which impacted the proposed ditch grading and water line relocations, proved to be significantly more complex than anticipated requiring extended coordination.

 

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 Barrett Station (Phase 2 Barrett Settlement & St. Charles Place) 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 complete the scope of work.

 

County Strategic Plan Goal:  2. Connect our community with safe, reliable, equitably distributed, and well-maintained infrastructure.
