Background and Discussion:
On October 23, 2018, Commissioners Court approved an Agreement with Raba Kistner Consultants, Inc. in the amount of $716,000 to provide geotechnical engineering services in support of approximately one-half of the final design of the direct connectors between East Sam Houston Tollway and SH 225.
The original Agreement was subsequently amended by order of Commissioners Court on or about January 25, 2022 in a First Amendment increasing the payment from $716,000 to $1,006,000.
The First Amendment is being amended to increase payment from $1,006,000 to $1,266,000.
The December 18, 2018, Commissioners Court authorized negotiations with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for the design and construction of two partial interchanges - Tomball Tollway at Grand Parkway and Sam Houston Tollway at State Highway 225. On February 23, 2023, the Texas Transportation Commission authorized the connection of the Sam Houston Tollway at State Highway 225 partial interchange and the development of an agreement between Harris County and TxDOT. On April 25, 2023, Commissioners Court approved an agreement for the design, construction, and maintenance of five of the direct connectors and the design of the remaining three direct connectors at the interchange.
This agreement will allow additional design services to coordinate the remaining bid packages with the future northbound Ship Channel Bridge and TxDOT activities in the area, as well as construction phase services for construction of the interchange.
Expected Impact:
Funding for this request will come from the Toll Road Authority. Approval of amendment will allow management of construction to move forward.

No other recommended services for this identified need.
