title

Request for approval of change in contract No. 3 with Arrowstone Contracting, LLC, for the Mercer Stormwater Detention Basin, adding 8 calendar days and resulting in an addition of $16,671.73 to the contract amount (Cypress Creek Watershed, Bond ID F-88, Project ID K500-21-00-E001, Job No. 23/0315, Precinct 1, MWBE Contracted Goal: 16%, MWBE Current Participation: 8.8%).

Background and Discussion:

The purpose of this contract is to construct a stormwater detention basin to reduce flood risk along Cypress Creek. This change in contract is needed to complete construction for this project. The contract change adds 8 days for inclement weather to the contract and includes a new item regarding an outfall structure, which will increase the project cost by $16,671.73.

 

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.
