Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on approving the Contract Amendment and Supplemental Agreement for the Engineering Design Services for the Repair of San Gabriel Ranch Road (Contract 1511-030) with Freese and Nichols, Inc.

Requested by Terron Everston, Director of Road & Bridge; this is to amend the current Contract because during the analysis and schematic phase of the engineering services for this roadway repair project, Road & Bridge received notification from the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) that the dam, upon which the deteriorated roadway sits, is in poor condition and needs signifigant repairs. The dam has been reclassified as a high hazard dam due to the development downstream and increased health and safety risks to the downstream population. The high hazard classifcation requires that a dam meet more stringent requirements which it currently doesn't meet, so repairing the road on an unsafe dam is not an option. These new findings have led the Project to a quite different scope, requiring different studies, permits and designs. The maximum amount payable for services under the Work Authorization has been increased from $265,143.00 to $533,524.00.
