Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval of change in contract No. 2 with Environmental Allies Inc., for rehabilitation of channels within Addicks Reservoir, resulting in an addition of $208,750 to the contract amount (Addicks Reservoir Watershed, Project ID U100-00-00-X076, Job No. 25/0303, Precinct 4, MWBE Contracted Goal: 24.88%, MWBE Current Participation: 91.49%).
end
Background and Discussion:
This change in contract is needed to complete the construction contract for this project. The purpose is to increase the quantities of Riprap Gradation No. 1 for Channel U202. The project needs an additional budget increase of $208,750.00 to complete the original scope of work. Riprap Gradation No. 1 is being adjusted to reallocate funds to another channel (U107) to cover an immediately underestimated item. Riprap Gradation No. 1 is being increased due to previously underestimated quantities. Both items need to be adjusted to reflect the actual quantities needed at 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; therefore, there are limited alternatives to approving a change order
other than not performing the repairs. Not proceeding with the repairs is not recommended, as it
would substantially jeopardize the project's purpose of maintaining channel effectiveness.
