Background and Discussion:

The Fountain view Subdivision is in the Aldine area of northern Harris County, Precinct 1, and includes the following streets:  Farley Drive, Picton Drive, McCracken Rd, Indianola Drive, Mendota Lane, Surles Drive, and Vickita Drive.  The subdivision is about a half mile northwest of the intersection of US 59 Eastex Freeway and Aldine-Bender Road.  The subdivision is surrounded by tributaries of Greens Bayou, including P133-0000 to the north, P133-04-00 to the west, and P133-03-00 to the east. The proposed drainage improvements include upsizing 1,730 feet of storm sewer system with diameters ranging from 24 inches to inches, capacity improvements to 3,660 feet of the P133-03-00 and P133-04-00 grass-lined ditches, the addition of a 12 acre-feet detention pond to the north of the subdivision, the installation of 1,400 feet of buried storm sewer system in P133-03-00 with sizes ranging from 36 inches RCP to (7 feet X 4 feet)RCB, and in-kind replacement of roadway, curb, and gutter sections that are disturbed.

 

The Change in contract includes new items for the following:

•                     Final Adjustments of Quantities: The deduction of $129,742.13 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 Fountainview Sec. 1 & 2 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 compensated for completing the original scope of work.
