Background and Discussion:

The project is located in northwest Harris County in the White Oak Bayou watershed. Bernadine subdivision improvements consists of roadside ditches that drain into HCFCD channel E132-00-00. The scope and proposed improvements are to regrade roadside ditches, install a storm sewer system under the ditches, upsize culverts, and reconstruct roadways within the neighborhood. A detention pond will be constructed to mitigate within the project limits. Improvements will comply with Harris County standards. This agreement for Construction Phase Services provided by Ward, Getz & Associates, PLLC (WGA), ensures that the project is built in accordance with the Harris County and Harris County Flood Control regulations.

 

The Change in contract is needed to reconcile the overrunning items with the underrunning items adding new line items to the contract and adding Calander Days to the contract. Below is a summary of changes:

 

Quantity Adjustment: The items are adjusted to reconcile overrun and underrun quantities on the project. The increase of quantities on pipe removal Items and asphalt driveway replacement (items 9, and 20) for an addition in the amount of $105,707.55. The decrease of quantities on underrun line items (Items 21) for a deduction in the amount of $90,000.00.

 

New Centerpointe Gas Services for Pump Station Item: - Added new line Item 110 “Centerpointe Gas Services for Pump Station” for an additional cost in the amount of $21,347.70.

 

Contractual Time Adjustments

-Added seventeen (17) calendars days due to Subgrade Stabilization Treatment Determination on Mile Dr.

Added thirteen (13) calendars days due to a utility Conflict on West Morgan with 36”storm pipe.

 

The above additions and deductions result in a net change in the amount of $37,055.25 and 30 calendar days.

 

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 Bernadine Estates & Tower Oaks Sec 3 subdivision.
