Background and Discussion:

Recommendation to Reject all Bids for Drainage System Sediment Removal and Disposal - North for the Harris County Flood Control District.

 

The apparent low bidder for the project was deemed non-responsive by the DEEO.  The second low bidder’s bid was unbalanced, and the remaining two bids were twice the engineer’s estimate and exceed the budget.

 

Expected Impact:

HCFCD will re-evaluate and rebid the project at a later date.

 

Alternative Options:

Accept an unbalanced Bid to the detriment to the District.

 

Alignment with Goal(s):

_ Justice and Safety

_ Economic Opportunity

_ Housing

_ Public Health

_ Transportation

_ Flooding

_ Environment

_ Governance and Customer Service
