Background and Discussion:
This project includes the construction of a new water distribution and sanitary sewer system to serve West Bertrand Street and West Marianne Street and service connections, and the decommissioning of existing wells and abandonment of eligible residents. This change in contract includes:
PCO#3: The number of sewer service connections authorized for installation on this project has increased by approximately 67% over the originally targeted contract quantity. This substantial change is due to a higher level of resident participation than initially anticipated.
As a result, additional coordination with the City of Houston (COH), residents, and other project stakeholders is required, along with the extra time needed to complete each connection. To properly accommodate this increased scope of work, an extension of 90 calendar days is necessary.
Following a review of the bid items and adjustments for quantities that remain unused, it has been determined that an additional $91,816.80 in funding is required to compensate the contractor for the overrun of existing bid items. The Harris County Community Services Department (HCD) has already secured the additional funds needed to support this change. $91,816.80 - 90 days
Expected Impact:
This action allows for accommodating Increase of the service connection for the contract and adding additional days to the contract time
Alternative Options:
Continue with the original plan.
