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 mitigate the risk of house flooding. The proposed solution includes upgrading of storm sewers and adding a detention pond.
The change in contract includes the following:
The line items are adjusted to reconcile overrun and underrun quantities on the project for completion of the proposed scope of work.
• The increase of quantities on overrun line item numbers 003, 005, 009, 015, 022, 023, 034, 044, 049, 050, 055, and 061 for an addition in the amount of $173,203.88.
• The decrease of quantities on underrun line item numbers 004, 006, 008, 010, 011, 012, 013, 014, 028, 029, 030, 031, 033, 035, 036, 038, 039, 040, 042, 043, 046, 047, 048, 051, 052A, 053, 054, 056, 057, 059, 060, 063, 064, 065, 066, 067, 068, 069, 073, 075, 076, 077, 078, 079, 080, 081, and 082 for a deduction in the amount of $475,326.01.
