Background and Discussion:

This project includes new construction of two buildings and site development on a 3.268-acre site at 3131 Gulf Freeway.  The residential building is a three story 50-unit building for youth aging out of foster care with community space, kitchen, a small gym, a business center, and private study rooms.  The other building is a one-story commercial building for wrap-around services, including huddle/meeting rooms, a computer lab, life skills training rooms, administrative offices, administrative and building support.  The two buildings are connected by a covered walkway. Site development includes underground detention below surface parking and outdoor landscaped areas.

 

Expected Impact:

Changes allow the completion of the project in accordance with the original intent of the project. Changes include increasing the construction contract from $24,804,195.25 to $24,805,422.18.  This request will be funded by the already approved 2017 CDBG-DR funds for the residential building portion and treasury ARPA funds for the services building portion.

 

Alternative Options:

Commissioners court could delay approval, not allowing the project to be completed as intended.
