Background and Discussion:
In response to the destruction wrought by Hurricane Harvey that underscored critical shortages in Harris County’s inventory of affordable homes, Harris County’s Single-Family New Construction Program (SFNCP) matches individuals and families with opportunities to purchase new affordable homes in growing developments throughout the county. Task Order 6: includes construction of roadways and sidewalks, Installation of sanitary sewer and storm systems, Pavement improvements, Construction of a lift station and detention ponds.
This change order is tied to PCO -10 and 11. PCO-10 includes installing sod around concrete structures and along the detention pond perimeters to prevent erosion, at a cost of $25,000, and extending the Floatable Collection Screen by 4 feet to resolve field discrepancies, adding $5,000, for a total of $30,000.
PCO-11 addresses a resident’s safety concern by installing crash-rated bollards with Type III barricades along the hammerhead on Whistle Stop Lane, at a cost of $34,500.
Combined total for PCO-10 and PCO-11 is $64,500.00, representing approximately 1.54% of the total project budget, with no additional days.
Expected Impact:
The changes enable adding new item quantities to the contract, ensuring the project aligns with its originally intended objectives. This change order adds $64,500.00 to the project contract amount, with no additional days.
Alternative Options:
No alternative options. The County could elect to approve the requested task or choose to reject it. However, if not approved, the roadway and other infrastructure constructions will not be completed.
