Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request by the Flood Control District for approval to delegate authority to the Harris County Purchasing Agent to take necessary action to award construction contracts in accordance with Texas Government Code Chapter 2269, Subchapter D, for up to 29 identified Flood Control District projects funded through the CDBG-DR and CDBG-MIT programs.
end
Background and Discussion:
Purchasing and the Flood Control District are requesting authority be granted to the Harris County Purchasing Agent to award construction contracts for the listed projects funded under the CDBG-DR and CDBG-MIT programs so those projects may proceed in an expedited manner. This request is seeking to ensure that the Harris County Purchasing Agent has the authority to take necessary action to award construction contracts, and specifically ensures the ability to use competitively sealed proposals. To ensure transparency, the construction contract award will be transmitted to a subsequent Harris County Commissioners Court agenda.
This delegation of authority supports previous Commissioners Court actions to delegate authority to the Harris County Purchasing Agent to award construction contracts through the invitation to bid process and to grant signatory authority to the Flood Control District Executive Director (or approved designees) to take all necessary actions to submit applications, contract amendments and required documentation to the Texas GLO in the most expedited fashion so that operations funded by CDBG-DR and CDBG-MIT funds may proceed unhindered to completion.
