Request for approval of change in contract No. 5 with Merchants Bonding Company Mutual for the White Oak Bayou Federal Flood Damage Reduction Project Channel Modifications Discrete Segment 105, adding 91 calendar days and resulting in an addition of $794,084.88 to the contract amount. (White Oak Bayou Watershed, Bond ID C-14, Project ID E100-00-00-E005, Job No. 20/0162, Precincts 1 and 3, Project was awarded prior to launch of County’s M/WBE Program).

Background and Discussion:
This change in contract is needed to complete the construction contract for this project. The purpose of this contract change is to adjust pay item quantities to address underestimated riprap quantities required for the original scope of work. The contract change includes an addition of 91 calendar days to account for inclement weather experienced from December 14, 2022, to December 31, 2023.
The main construction features of the project include channel grading, placement of slope paving and rip rap under all roadway bridge crossing structures, and outfall pipe replacements. The project also includes the implementation of recreational features that encompass the placement of bike trails along the main stem and bypass channel as well as around all detention ponds within the project limits. Additional recreation features
include constructing new bike trail parking lots adjacent to detention basins.
Expected Impact:
This change will allow the contractor to construct the project so that Harris County can realize intended flood risk reduction benefits.
Alternative Options:
This is an active construction contract, so there are not many alternatives to approving a change order other than cancelling the contract which is not recommended as doing so would substantially delay the remaining work in the construction contract.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
