Background and Discussion:

Harris County desires to amend the professional service agreement to remove the inclusion of sidewalks on both sides of Mueschke Road from 2700' south of Draper Road to approximately 1000' north of FM 2920.

This amendment includes the revision of the storm sewer drainage design to provide an adequate transition due to the extended limits. 

 

 

Expected Impact:

This action item will improve the traffic in the area, alongside the removal of sidewalks and revision to the storm sewer drainage design.

 

Alternative Options:

If no action is taken, the project will proceed based on existing drawings and move to construction without the necessary revisions to sidewalks, driveways, and the drainage system.

 

County Strategic Plan Goal:  2. Connect our community with safe, reliable, equitably distributed, and well-maintained infrastructure.
