Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval to delegate authority to the Harris County Purchasing Agent to award construction contracts to the lowest responsible bidder for 29 identified Flood Control District projects, funded by 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. 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 grant signatory authority to the Flood Control District 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.
