Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval of change in contract No. 3 with Serco Construction Group LTD, for erosion and slope failure repairs on Berry Bayou, adding 33 calendar days and resulting in an addition of $82,292.88 to the contract amount (Project ID Z100-00-00-X302, Job No. 25/0101, Precinct 2, MWBE Contracted Goal: 16.03%, MWBE Current Participation: 100%).
end
Background and Discussion:
The Erosion and Slope Repairs on Berry Bayou Project includes drainage system repairs, removal and disposal of sediment accumulations, granular fill and riprap installation, pipe removal and replacement, outfall structure removal and replacement and related items for C106-00-00-X022 and C106-00-00-X030. The purpose of this change is to add the Site Pay Item 02378-05 Granular Fill, Gravel to Grade 2 to C106-00-00-X030 due to the need to fill the plunge pools encountered and build up the base to support toe repairs. Also, 33 days are to be added to the contract due to time spent to review and issue revised drawings using the contractor's submitted survey as per request for information 011 and request for information 013. This change in cost will be partially offset by the reduction of unused item quantities on X022 and the adjustment of the contingency bid item.
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.
