Background and Discussion:
After Hurricane Harvey exposed a major shortage of affordable housing in Harris County, the Single-Family New Construction Program (SFNC) began connecting residents with newly built, affordable homes in growing communities across the county.
Scope of work - Task Order 6: This phase of construction consists of the infrastructure development to support single-family affordable housing. This includes construction of roadways and sidewalks, Installation of sanitary sewer and storm systems, Pavement improvements, Construction of a lift station and detention ponds to serve East Aldine Estates in Precinct 2.
The change involves a 140-calendar-day extension to the contract. Additional time is required due to unforeseen site conditions and the presence of unsuitable subgrade materials in specific locations that significantly hinder progress along the project's critical paths for excavation, pavement construction, grading, and other related work. This time extension is necessary to complete the remaining works and is granted in accordance with Section 5.27 (Project Delays) of the General Conditions.
Expected Impact:
This change order extends the contract duration by 140 calendar days, adjusting the project completion date to July 21, 2025.
Alternative Options:
No alternative options. If no action is taken, the roadway and other infrastructure constructions will not be completed.
