Harris County Commissioners Court approved a $100,000 contract with Transatlantic Technology Transfers LLC to provide consulting and advisory services for Precinct 2 from July 2026 to July 2027. This personal services agreement bypassed competitive bidding requirements, which is allowed for specialized consulting work. Precinct 2 covers parts of northwest Harris County, including areas of Houston like Spring Branch, Cy-Fair, and parts of northwest Houston. When our county invests in technology consulting, it can improve services we rely on every day - from road maintenance systems to public safety communications to online services for permits and payments. Technology consultants help county departments modernize their operations, which can mean faster response times, better data management, and more efficient use of our tax dollars. The contract runs for one year with renewal options, showing the county's commitment to ongoing technology improvements. Residents can stay informed about how this consulting work affects county services by attending Commissioners Court meetings, which are open to the public and held most Tuesdays. You can also contact Precinct 2 directly to ask questions about technology improvements in your area. Summer Turner at the county purchasing department oversees contracts like this one and can provide information about the procurement process.
