Background and Discussion:

The Substantial Completion Certificate provides documentation that a capital improvement project meets the qualifications of Substantial Completion in accordance with the Contract Documents as determined by the County Engineer. Substantial Completion establishes the date on which a capital improvement enters service as a Harris County asset.  The establishment and reporting of this date are important for all governmental entities as outlined in the GASB Statement #34, Capital Assets & Depreciation Guidance, August 31, 2001.  These certificates provide a method by which Harris County may document and record this date.

 

Expected Impact:

Construction of infrastructure will allow a new single family residential community of approximately 60 single family residential home to be constructed on approximately 10.57 acres in Precinct 1 under the Harris County Single-Family New Construction Program. Changes will allow for the project to be constructed per the original intent.
