Background and Discussion:

The Emerald Forest Subdivisions Road and Drainage Improvements (Cypress Place-Ph II) project includes drainage improvements consisting of an underground storm sewer box system along the bottom half of Cypress Place Drive while regrading all roadside ditches. The underground storm sewer box system will connect to the newly installed 13 feet x 10 feet junction box part of Phase I construction. All sheet flow will either outfall to the newly improved drainage system that outfalls to Harris County Flood Control District Channel E132-02-00 or existing Cypress N. Houston storm sewer system. Paving work will also include the removal and replacement of concrete residential driveways along with new culverts. The proposed roadside ditches will be improved to account for a future 22-foot roadway widening along with the enlargement of all 4 cul-de-sacs.

 

The Change in contract request includes the following:

 

                     Final Adjustments: The deduction of $40,069.33 for reconciliation of actual quantities used in construction with estimated quantities used for completing the proposed scope of work.

 

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 Emerald Forest (Cypress Place-Ph II) subdivision.

 

 

Alternative Options:

The County could elect to fund the requested task or choose to reject it. However, if not approved, the unutilized grant funds will not be used to compensate the contractor for completing the scope of the work.
