Background and Discussion:

 

Kingslake Forest Subdivision located in Northeast Harris County, Texas, Precinct 1. Under existing conditions, the Kingslake Forest Subdivision has experienced flood damage during extreme rainfall events. The project will include storm sewer improvements along multiple streets in the neighborhood. The proposed drainage improvements will consist of removal and replacement of existing storm sewers, as well as replacement of the inlets. A detention basin will also be added to the southeastern portion of the neighborhood, to mitigate for the impacts to Greens Bayou tributary P127-00-00 from the aforementioned improvements. This detention basin will be dry bottom basin, with a perimeter concrete trail. The basin may include recreational features such as mature trees, signage, trash receptables, and benches.

 

The change in contract includes the following:

 

New Line Items: Adding new line items to the project for completion of the proposed scope of work.

 

•                     Added new line item number 105 - Removal and Disposal of Downed Trees within the right of way during recent hurricane for an amount of $4,795.38.

•                     Added new line item number 106 - Permanent Type III Barricade and Bollards - Furnish and Install for an amount of 5,723.12.

 

The above additions result in a net change in the amount of $10,518.50 and 0 calendar days.

 

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 Kingslake Forest 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 able to complete the scope of work.
