Background and Discussion:
The County engaged KIT Professionals, Inc. to study and design the project in 2019, and now seeks KIT Professionals, Inc. to assist and advise the County during project construction.
The goal of constructing Greenhouse Road 5 from south of Cornerstone Arbor Drive to south of Cypress North Houston Road is to complete the future northbound 2-lanes to complete a 4-lane concrete boulevard (i.e. the southbound 2-lanes are existing) and improve mobility in the area.

Alignment with Goal(s):
☐ Justice and Safety
