Background and Discussion:

The Baldwin Boettcher Branch Library is located inside the Mercer Botanic Gardens at 22306 Aldine Westfield

Rd, Humble, TX 77338. The disaster recovery project involves the repair of damage caused by Hurricane Harvey in August 2017, including wall and floor finishes, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and data fixtures and equipment. This change in contract has removed data scope of work from the general contractor to Harris County which includes cost and labor.

 

Expected Impact:

This court action would account for unused funds to be returned to Harris County and retention shall be returned after contract requirements are met.

 

Alternative Options:

Should we not move forward with this change in contract order funds will not be returned to Harris County and retention will not be released to the general contractor.
