title

Request for approval of change in contract No. 11 with Lecon, Inc., for Major Maintenance of Cypress Creek and Tributaries Batch 3, adding 14 calendar days (Cypress Creek Watershed, Bond ID CI-012, Project ID K100-00-00-X087, Job No. 22/0085, Precincts 1 and 3, MWBE Contracted Goal: 20.50%, MWBE Current Participation: 19.41%).

Background and Discussion:

This change in contract is needed to complete the construction contract for this project. Major Maintenance of Cypress Creek and Tributaries, Batch 3 includes sediment removal, and the repair of erosion and infrastructure damage caused by the Harvey and Memorial Day storms across thirteen (13) sites in the Cypress Creek Watershed. The purpose of this contract change is to reconcile earthwork quantities, address additional repairs, and extend the time of completion by 14-days due to inclement weather. The contract change includes adjustments to earthwork quantities at Site K111-00-00-X034 based on the final survey, and new site pay items for Anchored Sodding at Site K124-00-00-X053 and Adjusting Manhole Frame & Cover at Site K112-01- 00-X009. Additional costs are offset by deductions for unused quantities, resulting in no net change to the contract amount.

 

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.
