Background and Discussion:
This project is located in the Greens Bayou watershed near Highway 90 and Beltway 8. The Beaumont Place subdivision consists of mainly roadside ditches and has been subjected to several flooding events with the most recent being Hurricane Harvey (August 2017) and the Tax Day Flood (April 2016). Drainage analysis of the subdivision began in late 2019 as a part of the 2018 Bond program for subdivision drainage improvements. The scope and proposed improvements include roadside ditch regrading, driveway culvert upgrades, expansion of channel along Big Gulch, concrete lined Sulphur Gully channel with reinforced concrete box (RCB) crossing improvements. Improvements also include multiple detention ponds along Big Gulch with an extreme event overflow swale towards the upstream portion of the channel.
The Change in contract request includes the following:
• PCO - 8 Driveway Variations - Added 26 days for an extension of contract time due to the replacement of existing driveways with culverts not shown on the design plans. A total of 13 existing driveways with culverts along Columbine, Elderberry, and Edgehill were not shown on the design plans, but will be replaced as part of the drainage improvements.
Expected Impact:
This project seeks to reduce flooding and strengthen resiliency in Harris County by assisting in the alleviation of structural flood damage to homes in the community. This change in contract is a step in the process to reduce the financial, physical, and emotional burden flood damage places on homeowners and will reduce the
financial impact of recovery costs to the Beaumont Place Subdivision homeowners, Harris County, and FEMA. The fiscal impact for this project will come from the 1080 Funding for the Recovery and Resiliency Division subdivision projects with the long-term goal of reducing drainage costs in the future.
Alternative Options:
The County could elect to approve the requested task or choose to reject it. However, if not approved, the contractor will not be able to complete scope of work.
