Background and Discussion:
Burnett Bayland Park is in Harris County Precinct 4, on the west side of Houston, within Beltway 8 loop. The park sits at the intersection of Gulfton Street and Chimney Rock Road, bounded by Gulfton Street to the north, Chimney Rock Road to the east, Alder Drive to the west, and an extended park area to the south. Covering approximately 40 acres, Burnett Bayland Park serves as a signature destination for Precinct 4 and will feature a new community center, event lawn, playground, multi-purpose courts, soccer fields, and additional amenities. The Phase 1A.1 Landscape Package includes the construction of a community garden, boardwalk, pedestrian bridges, soccer fields and pitches, and shaded structures. The contract includes a bid item for uniformed law enforcement officer to secure the project site; however, this item will not be used. We are requesting to add a new item for security cameras to prevent unauthorized skating and entry into the site after hours. The precinct agrees with this request. The quantity of item #122 - uniformed law enforcement officer - is to be reduced accordingly to help offset the cost of the new item.
This change order includes the following:
Quantity Adjustment / Decrease in quantities:
Item #122 - uniformed law enforcement officer - 167.345 Hr x $86.05 = $14,400
New Line Item:
Item #134 Set of 2 EA dual camera security systems - Quantity = 8 months x $1,800 = $14,400
The change involves adjusting existing bid item quantities and adding a new item to the contract, with no change to the current contract value and schedule.
Expected Impact:
The proposed park reconstruction will reshape the area into a more inviting, efficient, and resilient space that strengthens community ties and delivers lasting value to the surrounding Harris County neighborhood.
Improved site security may minimize liability exposure for both the County and the contractor.
This change enables the adjustment and addition of items to the contract, ensuring the project aligns with the original intent and complies with precinct requirements.
Alternative Options:
The County may choose to either approve or deny the change. If it is not approved, a uniformed officer would be required instead, which would result in significantly higher costs.
