Background and Discussion:
Request for approval to award to D & W Contractors, Inc. in the amount of $2,361,095.75 for the Highland Ridge and Highland Estates Subdivision Drainage Improvements - 2018 project for Precinct 3, Contracted Goal: 16.13%.
The project is located in northeast Harris County in the Spring Gully & Goose Creek and San Jacinto River watersheds. It is north of Barbers Hill Road and east of Sralla Road. The existing drainage consists of roadside ditches and outfalls to HCFCD channel O119-00-00. The proposed improvements are to regrade roadside ditches, upsize culverts, upsize outfalls and construct new outfalls, and construct a detention pond within the O119-00-00 channel for mitigation.
Expected Impact:
This project seeks to reduce flood risk and strengthen resiliency in Harris County by assisting in the alleviation of structural flood damage to homes in the Highland Ridge and Highland Estates subdivision. Awarding the project is a step in the process to reduce the financial, physical, and emotional burden of flood damage places on homeowners and will reduce the financial impact of recovery costs to the Highland Ridge and Highland Estates Project area, Harris County, and FEMA. The fiscal impact for this project will come from the 1080 Fund for the Recovery and Resiliency Division subdivision projects with the long-term goal of reducing drainage costs in the future. No impact to project schedule or staffing anticipated.
Alternative Options:
The County could elect to fund the requested or choose to reject it. However, if not approved, the project will not be able to provide drainage benefits to the neighborhood
