Background and Discussion:

On April 23, 2024, Commissioners Court approved the request approval to advertise for construction bids for the construction of the first four direct connectors of the State Highway 225 / Sam Houston Tollway East Interchange Construction Project.

 

The proposed adjustments will replace / relocate existing COMCAST, facilities that conflict with SH 225 / Sam Houston Tollway East Interchange Construction Project. The relocation includes the underground and overhead line facilities.

 

After completion of the construction services, if the estimated cost is less than the estimated amount, COMCAST, will refund or credit the difference. If actual cost of the construction services is more than the estimated cost, COMCAST, will invoice the difference which would require a future Court action.

 

 

Expected Impact:

The Agreement allows COMCAST, to expedite the underground and overhead line adjustments, minimizing the risk of construction delays for the Project.

 

Alternative Options:

No other recommended services for this identified need.
