SUBJECT:This Second Home Elevation Project Deposit Agreement is entered into by and between the City of Houston and the property owner(s) at 5031 Braesheather Drive, Houston, Texas 77096.
RECOMMENDATION:(SUMMARY)Adopt an ordinance approving and authorizing the City of Houston / Homeowner 2016 Flood Mitigation Assistance Home Elevation Project Second Deposit Agreement between the City of Houston and the Homeowner(s) located at 5031 Braesheather Drive, Houston, Texas 77096 and disburse funds.
DESCRIPTION:This project consists of elevating the home located at 5031 Braesheather Drive, in accordance with the City of Houston flood plain ordinance (Chapter 19).
SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT:The Homeowner(s) entered into a contract (“Homeowner Contract”) with the City of Houston to accept 2016 Flood Mitigation Assistance grant funds to elevate their home located at 5031 Braesheather Drive. City Council approved this action on October 2, 2019, under Ordinance 2019-747. The Homeowner(s) also entered into a contract (“Contractor Agreement”) with Planet Three Consulting Corp., as part of the aforementioned Council action, to complete the engineering and construction of the home elevation project described in the Contractor Agreement.
Also on October 2, 2019, City Council approved Ordinance 2019-748, authorizing a deposit agreement in the amount of $19,062.68. This agreement included funds to elevate the home to a height of 7.14 feet and to upgrade to split-face block and capstone.
Subsequent to the passage of those Ordinances, the Homeowner has selected the additional non-eligible work:
-- Additional Elevation of 2.86 feet
-- Upgrade to split-face block and capstone for the additional elevation
Upon City Council approval of this agreement the Homeowner(s) have agreed to deposit the amount of $28,315.90 with the City to hold and disburse, as appropriate, to pay for costs associated with the engineering and construction of the elevation project not covered by the Flood Mitigation Assistance Grant (“Non-Eligible Work”). The City will disburse funds to the Contractor as the Homeowner(s) verifies completion of non-eligible grant contracted work.
M/WBE: The Contractor under this Agreement was encouraged but not required to participate in the City’s M/WBE Program, because it involves the use of federal funds and is subject to specific contract rules of the federal government for this Grant.
ACTION RECOMMENDED:It is recommended that the City Council adopt an ordinance approving and authorizing the “Second Deposit Agreement” for Non-Eligible Grant Work between the City of Houston and the Homeowner(s) at 5031 Braesheather Drive, Houston, Texas 77096.
