Background and Discussion:
The Office of the County Engineer continues to deliver projects to strengthen resiliency within subdivisions by
improving mobility, community facilities and drainage. The Cobb, Fendley & Associates, Inc. on-call agreement
is being utilized to provide SUE, Utility Coordination, Interlocal Agreement support, and database maintenance
services needed to deliver and support various subdivision drainage improvement projects in Harris County to
allow the work to proceed as scheduled. The purpose of the amendment is to add additional funds to the on-call contract.
Expected Impact:
The utilization of SUE and additional Utility Coordination will provide necessary resources to expedite the
resolution of issues and critical path tasks to maintain project schedules.
Alternative Options:
Commissioners Court could opt to hire permanent Harris County staff to complete the work, or the project
delivery schedules could be adjusted to reduce the number of projects underway concurrently to allow
current Harris County staff to complete the work. Adjusting project schedules could potentially impact grant
and partnership funding.
