Background and Discussion:

 

Construction of concrete Pavement, Curbs, Driveways, Sidewalks and related throughout Harris County Precinct 2 in the South Zone.

 

Expected Impact:

 

Reconstructing the pavement, curbs, sidewalks, and driveways will improve roadway and pedestrian path conditions, thereby improving mobility, flood resiliency and safety for all path and roadway users. This purchase order 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.

 

Alignment with Goal(s):

_ Justice and Safety

_ Economic Opportunity

_ Housing
