Request for approval to reduce retainage by 3% (from 5% to 2%) on Contract 244 for The Gonzalez Group, LP for the construction of a new Sam Houston East EZ TAG Store located at 3343 East Sam Houston Parkway South (Precinct 2, MWBE Contracted Goal: 14%, MWBE Current Participation: 14%).

Background and Discussion:
On March 26, 2024, Commissioners Court approved the contract award on the basis of best proposal meeting requirements to The Gonzalez Group, LP for the construction of a new Sam Houston East EZ TAG Store located at 3343 East Sam Houston Parkway South, Pasadena, Texas 77505.
On October 10, 2023, Commissioners Court approved a request for approval for advertisement to obtain construction bids for the Sam Houston East EZ TAG Store Construction located at 3343 East Sam Houston Parkway South, Pasadena, Texas 77505.
This project will replace a leased facility that has limited parking with a modern facility that will provide
improved customer experience while ensuring facilities are fully functional and safe for staff. This is better
aligned with HCTRA's current and future needs and with the County's Priority Outcomes. HCTRA strives to
maintain its physical infrastructure in superior condition for the public.
Expected Impact:
No additional funding is required as the project is substantially complete. The payment of the released retainage will come from the Toll Road Authority approved funding for the project.
Alternative Options:
No other recommended solutions. Should this request be denied, the retainage would be released upon project final completion, and the final pay estimate is processed. However, doing so may delay the Contractor’s ability to pay his sub-contractors.
