Background and Discussion:

CenterPoint Energy Texas Gas Operations (CenterPoint) is requesting for the HCFCD to seek authorization from the Harris County Commissioners Court to pay the additional amount of $39,737.16 that exceeded the estimated cost of $17,611.70 shown in the Owner’s Estimate of Cost in Exhibit “C” of Agreement for Utility. The additional amount was due to not estimating the engineering cost, overhead cost and invoicing in time and material as opposed to unit rates.

 

Expected Impact:

The HCFCD would be allowed to pay CenterPoint for the additional amount.

 

Alternative Options:

The alternative would be that HCFCD not pay CenterPoint.
