Background and Discussion:

The project involves the construction of a 5-foot-wide concrete sidewalk, featuring wheelchair ramps at all public street intersections, properly sloped driveways, and retaining walls as needed to address steep grades behind the curb.  Oversight was provided by the Harris County Office of the County Engineer’s CPD team.

 

Changes include reconciliation of actual quantities used in construction with the estimated quantities included for bidding purposes.

- PCO - 4, A total of 10 additional calendar days have been granted, including 4 days for water pump issues caused by another contractor’s flooding of formwork, 3 days for delays due to Hurricane Beryl, and 3 days for continuous rain events.

- PCO - 5, An additional 5 days are being requested to adjust the traffic pull box in preparation for the sidewalk pour.

- PCO - 6, An additional 46 days were granted due to insufficient planning and execution.

- PCO - 7, Final Adjustment $28,815.79

 

 

Expected Impact:

Changes allow for addition of new bid items to complete the project in accordance with the original intent of the project and in compliance with precinct requests.

 

Alternative Options:

No alternative options.
