Background and Discussion:
The Office of the County Engineer continues to deliver projects to reduce the risk of flooding within subdivisions caused by ineffective stormwater drainage facilities in those subdivisions, improve mobility, and provide community improvement projects. Staff augmentation during construction phase provides flexible and nimble resources to complete the work in a timely and efficient manner. The on-call scope and effort focuses on construction management and construction inspection.
Expected Impact:
Successful and timely completion of these projects will help Harris County residents by reducing their risk of flooding within their subdivisions and improving mobility and safety.
Alternative Options:
Commissioners Court could opt to hire permanent Harris County staff to complete the work, or the project delivery schedules could be adjusted to reduce the number of projects under construction at once to allow current Harris County staff to complete the work.
