Request that the County Judge execute an amendment to a professional services exemption agreement with Texas Children's Hospital in the additional amount of $175,000 for additional medical, clinical and administrative services at on-site medical clinic for the Children's Assessment Center for the period of August 26, 2025 - August 25, 2026, Justification for 0% MWBE Participation Goal: 0% - Specialized, Technical, or Unique in Nature.

The Children's Assessment Center helps children who may have experienced abuse. The on-site clinic at the Center relies on Texas Children's Hospital staff to provide medical and support services. This contract extension would keep those services in place through August 25, 2026.

This is a contract amendment — a change to an existing agreement already in place between Harris County and Texas Children's Hospital. The amendment adds $175,000 and extends the working relationship from August 26, 2025 through August 25, 2026. The county notes that 0% of the contract is set aside for minority- and women-owned businesses because the work is considered specialized and unique in nature.
