Background and Discussion:

This amendment will include the additional services of the design, bidding and construction phase engineering of the K100-00-00-X114 and K500-31-00-E001 projects. (Cypress Creek Watershed, Bond ID CI-012, Project ID K100-00-00-G002, Agreement No. 2020-09, Precincts 1 and 3). The repairs consist of bank erosion restoration, replacing failed outfall pipes, removing sediment, restoring, and repairing maintenance berms and interceptor swales and other tasks.

 

Expected Impact:

This Amendment No. 3 will provide funding for final design and construction phase services necessary to complete projects in Cypress Creek

 

Alternative Options:

The alternative to approving this item would be procuring another consultant to complete the work, which would result in design and construction delays in the CDBG projects and the work order projects. CDBG projects are grant projects, so if not approved, FCD will have to pay for the full construction amount of the project.
