Request for approval of an Interlocal Agreement with the Harris County Hospital District, dba Harris Health System, in the amount of $211,769.32 for Prevailing Wage Compliance Services provided to Harris Health during the initial eighteen-month term of March 1, 2024 - September 30, 2025 with a subsequent renewal period of October 1 - September 30 of each year and subsequent amounts paid by Harris Health at the annual rate of $141,179.55, pending evaluation of any additional funds required for renewal.

Background and Discussion:
The Department of Economic Equity and Opportunity (DEEO) Worker and Community Protection division provides wage rate compliance services for Harris Health projects in accordance with Texas Government Code Chapter 2258. This Interlocal Agreement is for FY2024-2025, and the period of performance is March 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025. The agreement is a renewal and is for eighteen months in order to align the term of the Interlocal agreement with Harris County’s Fiscal year.
The amount has been updated from the preceding Interlocal Agreement executed on March 29, 2016, in the amount of $64,678.00. The increased amount has been mutually agreed upon to reflect increases in cost of living and cost of doing business.
Expected Impact:
The DEEO will use the revenue collected from this agreement to secure the resources required for construction contract compliance and worker protection on Harris Health projects in accordance with Texas Government Code Chapter 2258.
Alternative Options:
Not approving the renewal agreement will impact the DEEO’s ability to monitor construction projects for Harris Health.
