Request for approval of change in contract No. 1 with Lecon, Inc., for the 60” Reinforced Concrete Pipe Flap Gate with Headwall/Wingwall at P124-00-00, adding 37 calendar days and resulting in an addition of $3,337.52 to the contract amount (Greens Bayou Watershed, Project ID P500-01-00-X024, Job No. 24/0272, Precinct 1, MWBE Contracted Goal: 15.75%, MWBE Current Participation: 15.75%).

Background and Discussion:

The project replaces a failed 60" Tideflex Duckbill Check Valve with a new 60" cast iron Flap Gate with headwall and wingwalls in northeast Harris County. This project removes the failed 60" Tideflex Duckbill Check Valve to P124-00-00 from the adjoining drainage area and replaces it with a 60" Flap Gate. The purpose of this contract change is to add a concrete collar to connect the new 60" reinforced concrete pipe to the existing manhole and extend construction days based on actual weather days. The contract change includes $3,338 for the concrete collar installation and 37 additional inclement weather days.

 

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.
