This contract amendment allows Harris County Precinct 1 to continue working with Specialty Construction TX, LLC for guardrail and bridge rail repairs throughout the precinct. Guardrails protect drivers from going off roads or hitting dangerous obstacles. Bridge rails keep vehicles safe when crossing waterways and overpasses. This contract covers repairs at various locations in Precinct 1, which includes parts of northeast Harris County and some areas near downtown Houston. The amendment keeps the same dollar amount but adjusts contract terms. The county noted minimal availability of minority and women-owned businesses for this specialized work. These repairs matter because broken guardrails create serious safety risks. When guardrails are damaged by accidents or weather, they need quick fixes to protect other drivers. Poor road barriers can lead to worse crashes and injuries. This work helps keep our roads safer for everyone who drives, walks, or bikes in Harris County. The Commissioners Court approved this amendment in May 2026. Residents can track this and other infrastructure projects through Harris County's legislative website. If you see damaged guardrails or bridge rails in Precinct 1, you can report them to the county. Contact Precinct 1 Commissioner's office or email Luis.Cabrera@harriscountytx.gov for questions about road safety projects in your area.
Broken guardrails and bridge rails can turn a small crash into a deadly one. This contract keeps repair crews working in northeast Houston and areas near downtown so roads stay safer for drivers, walkers, and cyclists.
