Background and Discussion:

CenterPoint Energy Resources Corp (CenterPoint Gas) is requesting for the Flood Control District to seek authorization from the Harris County Commissioners Court to pay the additional amount of $52,836.83 that exceeded the estimated cost of $71,756.83 as shown in the original agreement. The additional amount was due to overruns in material and labor costs that were not expected during the development of the estimate.

 

Expected Impact:

This amendment will allow the Flood Control District to pay CenterPoint Gas for the additional amount required to cover relocation expenses.

 

Alternative Options:

The alternative to approving this item would be for the Flood Control District not to pay CenterPoint Gas.
