Background and Discussion:
The proposed construction of West Nelda & West Mierianne Street Water Distribution and Sanitary Sewer Systems Project consists of construction of water distribution line, and construction of sanitary sewer line, decommissioning of water wells for existing lots after installation of water lines.
The project had an initial construction budget of $719,137.80 to connect potable water and sewer lines to 38 residences. Upon bidding and awarding the project, several residents chose not to have water and/or sewer connections. 22 of 38 water connections were made, 19 of 38 sewer connections were made. This is the primary reason of the budget’s reduction. There are some offsets to that reduction with unforeseen field conditions, scope adjustments, and requirements to comply with regulatory standards. Work has been completed in accordance with Harris County standards and specifications. This change in contract allows processing of final pay estimate and close out the project. This resulted in a total contract budget reduction of $214,179.40.
