Request for approval of a renewal option with Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. for professional engineering services to provide program management, project management, construction management, and inspection services for the development and implementation of CDBG-DR and CDBG-MIT projects for the Flood Control District for the period of August 27, 2026 - August 26, 2027, at a cost of $6,000,000 (230458), MWBE Contracted Goal: 20%, MWBE Current Participation: 4.97%.

After major flood events, Harris County received federal funding to build and improve flood control projects. Managing those projects takes a large, specialized team. This contract renewal keeps Jacobs Engineering on board for another year to help make sure those projects get done right and on time.

The contract renewal runs from August 27, 2026 through August 26, 2027, at a cost of $6 million. Jacobs Engineering would continue providing program management, project management, construction management, and inspection services. The contract has a goal of 20% participation from minority- and women-owned businesses (MWBE), though current participation is listed at 4.

97% — well below that goal.
