4.10. AMENDMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING P3135.2D SWIF REPAIR OF DEFICIENT CULVERTS
The SWIF “D” project originally consisted of numerous areas of repair to gatewells and erosion along the existing flood control project. When the contract was bid in June of 2018, there was inadequate funds available from the State to complete the entire project, so portions of the work were removed by change order, until funding would become available. The state has now made funds available to complete all of the work under SWIF “D”. This amendment will cover the engineering and testing required to oversee this latest portion that is being added back into the contract, Area 9.
Recommend approval of the construction engineering contract amendment with Houston Engineering for SWIF D – area 9 and authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement on behalf of the City.Documents:

Due to lack of funding, a portion of the project was change ordered out of the Park contract, until additional funds were available as a cost share from the SWC. The SWC has stated that there are additional funds available that they will allocate to complete the area previously removed by change order.
It is recommended the City Council pass an ordinance amending the 2019 annual budget to add area 9 of the SWIF D project back into the contract since cost share has been secured from the State for the work.Documents:
