| | | | | | | | Background:
SUBJECT: First Amendment to increase the maximum grant budget and the project costs due to increased contractor costs to comply with change in the elevation height required by revision in Chapter 19 Flood Plain Ordinance of the Homeowner Agreement for Flood Mitigation Assistance Home Elevation Project for the property owner at 4951 Braesheather Drive, Houston, Texas 77096-4202.
RECOMMENDATION: (SUMMARY) Adopt an ordinance approving and authorizing a First Amendment to Homeowner Agreement for Flood Mitigation Assistance Home Elevation Project between the City of Houston and the property owner at 4951 Braesheather Drive, Houston, Texas, 77096-4202 to increase the maximum budget amount from $333,262.35 to $347,070.93 and disperse additional funds for change in the scope of work.
PROJECT NOTICE/JUSTIFICATION: The Flood Mitigation Assistance Grant for 42 flood-prone homes was awarded to the City of Houston on the behalf of the homeowners. On September 28, 2016, City Council passed Ordinance No. 2016-0735 approving an agreement between the City of Houston and Texas Water Development Board for administering the Grant and to receive funds as sub-applicant from the Texas Water Development Board for reimbursement of the cost to complete the elevation of the flood-prone homes up to $14,846,975.92 for 42 approved homes.
City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2018-0275 on April 4, 2018 approving a Homeowner Agreement with Arkitektura Development, Inc., for the elevation of the property located at 4951 Braesheather Drive. After execution of the Homeowner Agreement, the City of Houston adopted changes to Chapter 19 requiring homes to be 2 feet above the 500 year flood level which results in a total lift of 7.49 feet versus the 5.9 feet in the original scope of work. The increase in costs to the maximum contract amount for the additional elevation height were subsequently approved by the Texas Water Development Board.
