Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval of change in contract No. 2 with Russell Marine LLC, for the A200 Gated Structure General Maintenance Project, adding 120 calendar days (Clear Creek Watershed, Project ID A200-00-00-X028, Job No. 23/0487, Precinct 2, Justification for 0% MWBE Participation Goal: 0% - Minimal MWDBE Availability).

Background and Discussion:
The project replaces six roller-type steel gates installed in 1991 by the US Army Corps of Engineers and turned over to the Flood Control District for maintenance and operation in 1998. In 2020, the Gates were inspected using an underwater camera. Based on the results of the inspection, the Engineer of Record recommended removing Gates from the structure within the next five years and repairing or replacing as needed. This project was awarded based on installing 1 new Gate and refurbishing 5 of the existing Gates. The duration for this scope of work was 174 days. To minimize the cost and schedule risk associated with attempting to refurbishing 34-year-old Gates, the scope was changed to 6 new Gates and there was no cost increase associated with this change. The new Gates shop fabrication has taken 173 days. An additional 120 days are needed to finish the project.
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.
County Strategic Plan Goal: 2. Connect our community with safe, reliable, equitably distributed, and well-maintained infrastructure.
