Background and Discussion:

Evergreen Villas is in Northeast Harris County, Texas, Precinct 1. The subdivision is mainly composed of single-family homes. The residents have experienced structural flooding during several recent flood events. Approximately 37 homes were reported to have flooded during Hurricane Harvey. The purpose of this project is to reduce flooding for homes. The proposed solution includes upgrading storm sewers and adding a detention pond. This contract includes construction services for the construction phase.

 

The change in contract includes the following:

 

Quantity Adjustment: The line items are adjusted to reconcile overrun quantities on the project for completion of the proposed scope of work.

 

                     The increase of quantities on line item number 053 for an addition in the amount of $13,881.95.

 

 

New line items:

 

                     Added new Line-item number 93 - CCTV Inspection of Storm Sewer System for an addition in the amount of $16,446.21.

                     Added 4 calendar days to the project time due to addition of CCTV inspection of storm sewer to the scope of the project.

 

The above additions result in a net addition in the amount of $30,328.16 and 4 calendar days.

 

Expected Impact:

This project seeks to reduce flooding and strengthen resiliency in Harris County by assisting in the alleviation of structural flood damage to homes in the Evergreen Villas subdivision.

 

Alternative Options:

The County could elect to approve the requested task or choose to reject it. However, if not approved, the contractor will not be able to complete the scope of work.
