Request that the County Judge execute an amendment to an agreement with The Segal Company (Southeast) d/b/a Segal in the additional amount of $216,400 for additional benefits consulting services for Harris County for the period of June 28, 2026 - June 27, 2027 (210443), MWBE Contracted Goal: 20%, MWBE Current Participation: 33.3%.

Harris County employs thousands of people, and managing their benefits is a big job. The county uses outside experts like Segal to help make sure employees get good options at fair prices. This amendment keeps that consulting work going for another year.

This is a contract amendment — an update to an existing agreement. It adds $216,400 for more benefits consulting services from Segal. The work covers the period from June 28, 2026 through June 27, 2027.

Worth noting: the county set a goal of 20% participation from minority- and women-owned businesses (MWBE) on this contract, and the current participation is 33.3% — above that goal.
