Background and Discussion:

Repair of various roads in the Wade North area for the BetterStreets2Neighborhoods Community Program for Harris County Precinct 2.

 

The budget variances across the project resulted from a mix of effective resource management, value engineering, and strategic procurement that led to cost savings in some areas, while necessary scope adjustments, unforeseen site conditions, and regulatory compliance requirements caused certain items to exceed their budgeted amounts.  This change order will deduct $484,737.94.

 

Expected Impact:

Deduct the total cost for the contract.

 

Alternative Options:

No action will result in substandard construction.
