title

Request for approval of change in contract No. 3 with A Morfin Trucking, LLC, for the Yale Stormwater Detention Basin (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: 56.81%).

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 modification is to reconcile the estimated quantities with the actual quantities of completed work.

 

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.

County Strategic Plan Objective: H: Improve the condition and resilience of County transportation, flood control, and other infrastructure.
