Request for approval to rescind an award from Sterling Site Services, LLC. in connection with an award approved by Commissioners Court on January 30, 2024 and approve a new award on the basis of low bid to Solid Bridge Construction in the amount of $7,256,197 for expansion and enhancement of the Cypress Detention Basin - 2021 for Precinct 3, and for the County Clerk to execute any applicable bonds to be received, with certain items not being awarded (230463), MWDBE Contracted Goal: 24%.

Background and Discussion:
Project involves expansion of the existing wet bottom stormwater detention basin by excavating and disposing of about 160,000 cubic yards of soil thereby expanding the basin by about 48.60 acre-feet. The Project also intends to add detention capacity by constructing a system to preemptively release water and lowering the water surface elevation in advance of major storms. It includes a 48” outfall pipe from the pond which will release water through a remotely operated plug valve powered by a solar charged battery.
Expected Impact:
This action will allow Solid Bridge Construction to proceed with the construction of the project, therefore, reducing the flood risk of the community in the watershed.
Alternative Options:
If no action is taken, the construction of the project will not be completed, and the Cypress Park detention pond will continue for function under existent conditions.
