Background and Discussion:
Evergreen Villas is in Northeast Harris County, Texas, Precinct 1. The subdivision is mainly composed of single-family homes. The residents have experienced structural flooding during several recent flood events. Approximately 37 homes were reported to have flooded during Hurricane Harvey. The purpose of this project
is to reduce flooding for homes. The proposed solution includes upgrading storm sewers and adding a
detention pond. This contract includes construction services for the construction phase.
The Change in contract request includes new items for the following:
• Reimbursement for Payment to CenterPoint Street Lights - Added a new Line item “Reimbursement for Payment to CenterPoint Street Lights” with an additional cost of $986.00. Reimbursement for the contractor's payment to CNPE SL for the relocation of cables in conflict with a proposed manhole.
• Repair of Existing 6x3 Outfall - Added a new Line item “Repair of Existing 6x3 Outfall” with an additional cost of $26,854.57. Stormwater erosion prevents the contractor from grading the slopes in this area of the detention pond by not allowing any in-situ material to remain in place.
• Remove and Replace Cedar Fencing - Added a new Line item “Remove and Replace Cedar Fencing” with an additional cost of $1,200.00. A section of an existing cedar fence sitting on the ROW needed to be removed and replaced since the proposed junction box required an excavation trench up to the ROW to fit in with the proper bedding and backfill material.
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 Evergreen Villas Subdivision.
Alternative Options:
The County could elect to fund the requested task or choose to reject it. However, if not approved, the contractor will not be able to complete the original scope of work.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
