Request Summary (Agenda Caption):

title

Request for approval of change in contract No. 2 with A Morfin Trucking LLC, for the Baywood Stormwater Detention Basin, adding 55 calendar days and resulting in an addition of $274,046.49 to the contract amount (Armand Bayou Watershed, Bond ID F-72, Project ID B513-02-00-E003, Job No. 24/0188, Precinct 2, MWBE Contracted Goal: 18.71%, MWBE Current Participation: 30.74%).

Background and Discussion:

The purpose of this contract change is to increase underestimated pay item quantities for 3"x5" granular fill, geotextile filter material, and crushed limestone flex-base needed to complete the all-weather maintenance road, and to extend the contract duration for inclement weather days experienced by the Contractor. This contract change increases the contract value by $274,046.49 and adds 55 days to the contract duration.

 

Expected Impact:

This change will allow the contractor to construct the project so that Harris County can realize intended flood risk reduction benefits. 

 

Alternative Options:

This is an active construction contract, so there are not many alternatives to approving a change order other than cancelling the contract which is not recommended as doing so would substantially delay the remaining work in the construction contract.
