Background and Discussion:

 

 Construction of storm sewer, structures and drainage easements from North Section of El Lago to South Section of El Lago in Harris County Precinct 2.

 

 

Expected Impact:

 

 Construction of storm sewer, structures and drainage easements will improve flooding conditions and enhance drainage capacity, thereby improving mobility and safety for all road users and flood resiliency for all adjacent properties. This purchase order will ensure that all construction materials used in the project are of acceptable quality as required by state law.

 

 

 

Alternative Options:

 

 Construction materials testing is required by state law. Thus, alternatives include issuing a purchase order for similar services to a different vendor, or cancelling this construction project.
