Background and Discussion:

Construction of storm sewer, structures and drainage easements in the Baybrook and Seascape Subdivisions in Harris County in 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 agreement will allow the firm to conduct field and laboratory testing on soil, concrete, asphalt and various other construction materials. This testing will ensure the material’s compliance with Harris County Engineering and other governing bodies specifications as required by state law.

 

Alternative Options:

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