Background and Discussion:
The project involves constructing four monuments on Precinct 2 road medians-two in Channelview (510 Sheldon Road and 14807 Woodforest Boulevard) and two in North Shore (514 Normandy Street and 16 Uvalde Road).
This change in contract includes:
PCO#6: In response to a community request, the monument originally planned for installation in the third median at Channelview was proposed to be relocated to the second median. This change required additional coordination and review to ensure safety and compliance with sight distance requirements. Specifically, the designer and Traffic Group needed to evaluate the proposed location to confirm that the monument would not create any sight obstruction issues. This process included design verification, field review, and staking of the new location. As a result, the contractor experienced a delay of 13 calendar days while awaiting completion of this review and the subsequent approval to proceed. - $0.00 - 13 days
PCO#7: This change in contract includes the final reconciliation of actual quantities used in construction against the bid quantities. -$46,508.25
Expected Impact:
This action allows for accommodating the owner request and enhance visibility of monuments.
Alternative Options:
Continue with the original plan.
