Background and Discussion:

This Project consists of Drainage System Repairs, for six (6) project sites located in Harris County, Precincts 2, 3, and 4.  These Projects have all been identified for FEMA reimbursement from Hurricane Harvey Damage.  Major emphasis of this repair contract will be earthwork, including but not limited to erosion repair, slope failure repair, removal and disposal of sediment accumulations, granular fill and riprap installation, pipe removal and replacement, outfall structure removal and replacement and related items.

 

Expected Impact:

Materials engineering and testing services on this project will provide essential quality control and assurance, ensuring that soils and construction materials meet specified standards and performance criteria, ultimately leading to enhanced structural integrity and longevity while reducing risks and costs associated with earthen and material failures. This quality control and assurance will help ensure that the project is constructed properly so that HCFCD provides system maintenance to preserve Harris County infrastructure.

 

Alternative Options:

The alternative would be to select another firm for this assignment which would result in a delay in starting this project.
