Background and Discussion:
To mitigate flooding issues within the Sierra Ranch and Stonefield Terrace Sec 3 subdivision, it is proposed to increase the capacity of the existing storm sewer system within the subdivision up to the outfall channel, upgrading existing inlets, providing additional inlets to take in the overland flow through the streets as well as providing additional surface detention to provide relief to the overloaded trunk sewer. The proposed improvements will minimize the risk of structural flooding in the subdivision and reduce ponding within the roadways during a NOAA Atlas 14, 10 and 100-year storm event.
The change in contract includes the following:
Quantity Adjustment: The line items are adjusted to reconcile overrun and underrun items on the project for completion of the proposed scope of work.
- The increase of quantities on overrun line items number 3, 4, 10, 11, 14, 18, 20, and 32 for an addition in the amount of $28,922.15.
- The decrease of quantities on underrun line items numbers 7, 13, 24, 25, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35 and 36 for a decrease in the amount of -$78,917.00
The above additions result in a net change in the amount of -$49,994.85 and 0 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 Sierra Ranch and Stonefield Terrace Sec 3 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 compensated for completing the scope of work.
