Background and Discussion:

This utility service will provide gas services for the new Southwest Tolling Structure, located at 14437 ½ Almeda Road, Houston, TX 77047.

 

After completion of the construction services, if the estimated cost is less than the estimated amount,

CenterPoint Energy Resources Corp. will refund or credit the difference. If actual cost of the construction

services is more than the estimated cost, CenterPoint Energy Resources Corp will invoice the difference which

would require a future Court action.

The action will allow CenterPoint Energy Resources Corp. to expedite the underground gas line extension,

minimizing the risk of construction delays for the Project.
