Harris County Flood Control Engineering Services Contract Renewal
How to get this
When you call, you can say: “Hi, I saw "Harris County Flood Control Engineering Services Contract Renewal" on Community Exchange and want to know how to take part.”
Harris County is renewing an engineering contract for flood control work funded by federal disaster grants. The projects include drainage improvements and detention ponds that affect flood risk in neighborhoods across the county.
If this passes
Ardurra Group provides program, project, construction management, and inspection services for flood control projects in Harris County through June 2027.
If this does not pass
Without the renewal, these engineering services for the federally funded flood control projects would not have an approved contractor for the June 2026–June 2027 period.
Harris County Commissioners Court approved a $12 million contract renewal with Ardurra Group, Inc. to provide engineering services for flood control projects. This contract covers program management, project management, construction management, and inspection services for Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) and Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) projects from June 2026 to June 2027.
These federal grants fund flood control infrastructure improvements across Harris County after major disasters like Hurricane Harvey. The contract includes a 20% goal for minority and women-owned business enterprises (MWBE), with current participation at 28.82%, exceeding the target.
This means local diverse businesses have significant opportunities in flood protection work. For Harris County residents, this contract directly impacts our community's flood resilience. The engineering services will help design, build, and inspect critical infrastructure like drainage improvements, detention ponds, and flood barriers that protect our homes, schools, and businesses.
