title

Request for approval of change in contract No. 1 with RES Environmental Operating Company LLC, for the floating islands at Reverend William and Audrey Lawson Stormwater Detention Basin, adding 22 calendar days (Clear Creek Watershed, Bond ID C-05, Project ID A500-08-00-W001, Job No. 25/0059, Precinct 1, MWBE Contracted Goal: 17.79%).

Background and Discussion:

This change in contract is needed to complete the construction contract for this project. Floating Islands at Rev

William and Audrey Lawson Stormwater Detention Basin include installation of two artificial floating island structures, and the construction of a canoe house, a monitoring station and a manhole for monitoring access to the existing outfall pipe. The purpose of this contract change is for the addition of 22 days to the contract due to manufacturing delays of the floating island units. The contract change includes a total of 22 days added to the contract.

 

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.
