Background and Discussion:
The project consists of excavating the southern compartment of a stormwater detention basin within the former Castlewood subdivision to reduce flooding along the P138-00-00 channel that drains to Greens Bayou. Changes to the contract are required due to the following:
* Harris County Engineering Department's Permitting Review, which identified the need to change from two 18" Reinforced Concrete Pipes (RCP) to a single 24" RCP at the project driveway.
* The bid failed to establish a dedicated bid item for trench shoring for excavation.

This change in contract is needed in order to complete the construction contract for this project. The requested items will ensure the work is completed properly.
