Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval of change in contract No. 2 with A Morfin Trucking, LLC, for the Yale Stormwater Detention Basin, resulting in an addition of $25,910.13 to the contract amount (White Oak Bayou Watershed, Bond ID F-09, Project ID E501-03-00-E001, Job No. 24/0350, Precinct 2, MWBE Contracted Goal: 13.35%, MWBE Current Participation: 48.21%).
end
Background and Discussion:
This change in contract is needed to complete the construction scope for this project. The Yale Stormwater Detention Basin project includes a wet bottom detention basin with an inflow side weir and flap gate outfall pipe, adjacent to E101-00-00 (Little White Oak Bayou). The Project is located southeast of the intersection at W. Tidwell Road and Yale Street, in the White Oak Bayou Watershed. The purpose of this contract change is to reconcile estimated quantities with actual project requirements. The change increases the underestimated quantities for Remove and Dispose of Concrete Rubble and Structures (02120-03), All Pipes (02120-04), and Driveways and Sidewalks (02120-26). Additionally, the quantity of Concrete Box Inlets (02632-50), which are no longer required for construction, is being deducted to offset the associated cost.
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.
County Strategic Plan Goal: 2. Connect our community with safe, reliable, equitably distributed, and well-maintained infrastructure.
