title

Request for approval of change in contract No. 5 with Lecon, Inc., for the Lauder Stormwater Detention Basin - Phase 2, adding 48 calendar days (Greens Bayou Watershed, Bond ID C-34, Project ID P500-06-00-E006, Job No. 22/0224, Precinct 2, MWBE Contracted Goal: 17%, MWBE Current Participation: 48.1%).

Background and Discussion:

This change in contract is needed to complete the construction contract for this project. Lauder Stormwater Detention Basin - Phase 2 includes excavating the southern compartment of a stormwater detention basin within the former Castlewood subdivision to reduce flooding along the P138-00-00 channel that drains to Greens Bayou.  The purpose of this contract change is to adjust contract quantities for confirmed overruns, provide bollards to limit vehicular access, and extend contract time for inclement weather with zero total change in cost.

 

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.
