Background and Discussion:
The project is in Harris County, Precinct 2 in City of Houston. The project consists of constructing approximately 750 feet a 10-ft-wide hike and bike trail from the White Oak Bayou Greenway Trail to the intersection of Fletcher Street and Pinckney Street. The project will also include a proposed 200-ft long retaining wall with a concrete swale, approximately 900 LF of varying size storm sewer along with inlets and manholes, a headwall, grass-lined swales, bollards, permanent street and trail signs, handrails, waterline and sanitary line adjustments, benches, trash receptacles, and pavement markings accompanying the trail.
The Changes in contract include:
• A restocking fee for the 24-inch RCP is needed due to the design revision, as the material previously delivered to the field is no longer needed for Line Item #31. This change results in an additional cost of $2,616.00 and 0 calendar days.
• An additional two months of stormwater pollution prevention (SWPPP) is needed for the existing line item #062 to manage stormwater runoff from construction sites with an additional cost of $6,000 and 60 Calendar days.
• An additional two months of traffic control plan (TCP) is needed for the existing line item # 012 to ensure the safety of workers and the public, while maintaining the efficient flow of traffic with an additional cost of $2,000 and 60 Calendar days.
Expected Impact:
This project seeks to enhance hike and bike mobility by providing a connectivity trail from White Oak Bayou Greenway Trail to Pinckney Street. The Goal of the project is to enhance pedestrian and bicyclist mobility creating a pedestrian and bike-friendly environment by improving overall public access.
Alternative Options:
There is no other alternative available except the requested changes will allow the contractor to complete the proposed work according to the design plan and complete the project.
