Background and Discussion:
The Beaumont Place Subdivision is located in the Greens Bayou watershed near Highway 90 and Beltway 8. The proposed improvements include roadside ditch regrading, driveway culvert upgrades, expansion of channel along Big Gulch, concrete lined Sulphur Gully channel with reinforced concrete box (RCB) crossing improvements. Improvements also include multiple detention ponds along Big Gulch with an extreme event overflow swale towards the upstream portion of the channel.
The Change in Contract includes the following:
• Quantity Adjustment: The addition of quantities reconciles actual quantities used in construction with the estimated quantities for completing the proposed scope of work. Items 5, 9, 17, 22, 23, 26, 30, 32, 37, 38, 40, 68, 114, 140, 142, 154, and 198 were increased for an addition in the amount of $228,408.52. Items 27, 141, and 143 were decreased for a deduction in the amount of $140,771.00.
• New Item 201 Reinforced Concrete Sidewalk and Item 202 Concrete Pavement (8”) were added for an addition in the amount of $26,670.24.
• The additions, deductions, and new items result in a net change in the amount of $114,307.76.
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 Western Homes Addition subdivision.
Alternative Options:
The County could elect to fund the requested task or choose to reject it. However, if not approved, the contractor will not be able to complete the scope of work.
