Project ID (If applicable]: Z100-00-00-X297
Purpose and Request:
title:
Recommendation for approval of Change in Contract No. 3 with Specialty Construction TX, LLC for general repairs in the White Oak Bayou Watershed, adding 81 calendar days and resulting in no change to the contract amount. (Project ID Z100-00-00-X297, Job No. 19/0391-03, Precinct 4).
end
Background and Discussion:
The purpose of this change in contract is to reallocate quantity of contract items between sites to cover final actual quantities expended at each site and to address unforeseen conditions repairing a buried outfall pipe and riprapping an eroded slope encountered at the E101-00-00-X036 desilt site. Change is for net $0 and adds 81 days to the Contract. 81 days are needed due to CIC-02 approval taking longer than expected over the Christmas Holidays. Final approval of CIC-02 did not occur until February and the contractor chose to wait to start the added site until the change order was fully approved. All other work on the contract was completed in November, so additional time was needed to bridge the gap while the contract was on hold awaiting approval of the added site.
Fiscal Impact: There is no change in cost as part of this change in contract.

Alternatives:
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.
Alignment with Strategic Objective:
