Background and Discussion:

The Agreement approved by Commissioners Court in September 2016 ensured that the appropriate CenterPoint facilities were relocated prior to the program’s needs. The amendment will increase the Funding Cap from $1,983,750.00 to $4,536,485.76. The additional funding is required due to CenterPoint’s revision of design guidelines that increased the affected number of structures and roadway clearance requirements.
