Background and Discussion:
The Recovery and Resiliency Division subdivision drainage improvement project is located in Harris County Water Control and Improvement District 50 (WCID 50), El Lago, Texas. The project scope consists of the removal and disposal of existing storm sewer and installing storm sewer, waterline, pavement, bulkheads, sidewalks, pedestrian ramps and driveways. The existing asbestos-cement waterline cannot be supported in place while the proposed storm sewer is installed without significant breakage, water loss and repairs. The scope and proposed improvements include changes for:
• PCO 23 - New 8-inch Waterline, Crestwood St. WCID 50 requested that 2,030 linear feet of existing
asbestos-cement 8-inch waterline pipe along Crestwood St. be replaced with an approved polyvinyl chloride pipe to eliminate the conflict with the proposed storm sewer. Deletion of unused quantity of existing well- pointing bid item. Cost: $194,815.80. The change also includes 49 days: 5 days for utility conflict, 6 days for material delivery and 38 days for construction associated water main including disinfection, testing and service connections.
Expected Impact:
This project seeks to reduce flood risk and strengthen resiliency in Harris County by assisting in the alleviation Of structural flood damage to homes in the community. This change in contract is a step in the process to reduce the financial, physical, and emotional burden flood damage places on homeowners and will reduce the financial impact of recovery costs to the City of El Lago homeowners, Harris County, and FEMA. The fiscal impact for this project will come from the 1080 Funding for the Recovery and Resiliency Division subdivision projects with the long-term goal of reducing drainage costs in the future. No impact to project schedule or staffing anticipated. The executed Interlocal Agreement between Harris County Water Control and Improvement District No. 50 (WCID 50) and Harris County Flood Control District states that the district will contribute $4,750,000 to the design and construction cost of the project to reduce area structural flooding.
Alternative Options:
The County could elect to fund the requested task or choose to reject it. However, if not approved, the project area will continue to experience flood risk.
