Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval of change in contract No. 4 with Arrowstone Contracting, LLC, for the Mercer Stormwater Detention Basin, adding 124 calendar days (Cypress Creek Watershed, Bond ID F-88, Project ID K500-21-00-E001, Job No. 23/0315, Precinct 1, MWBE Contracted Goal: 16%, MWBE Current Participation: 12.53%).
end
Background and Discussion:
This change in contract is needed to complete the construction contract for this project. The Mercer stormwater detention basin project includes excavation of approximately 970,000 cubic yards of material, as well as the install drainage, control structures and all-weather access for an approximately 52-acre site. The purpose of this contract change is to increase the contract duration of the project adding 124 days for adjusted work scope as a result of imposed TxDot construction access permit working hour restrictions.
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.
