Background and Discussion:
The project is in northwest Harris County in the White Oak Bayou watershed. Bernadine subdivision improvements consists of roadside ditches that drain into HCFCD channel E132-00-00. The scope and proposed improvements are to regrade roadside ditches, install a storm sewer system under the ditches, upsize culverts, and reconstruct roadways within the neighborhood. A detention pond will be constructed to mitigate within the project limits. Improvements will comply with Harris County standards. This agreement for Construction Phase Services provided by Ward, Getz & Associates, PLLC (WGA), ensures that the project is built in accordance with the Harris County and Harris County Flood Control regulations.
The change in contract is needed to reconcile the overrunning items with the underrunning items, adding new line items to the contract, and adding calendar days to the contract. Below is a summary of the changes:
• The increase of quantities on pipe installation and removal and disposal of inlet for line item numbers 031, 034 and 109 for an addition in the amount of $104,108.98.
• The decrease of quantities on underrun for line item numbers 023 and 035 for a deduction in the amount of $104,030.00.
• Added six (6) calendar day to the project time for adjusting the proposed driveways.
The above additions and deductions result in a net change in the amount of $78.98 and six (6) calendar days.

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 Bernadine Estates & Tower Oaks Sec 3 subdivision.
