Harris County may renew a $62,789 Granicus software contract for the Office of the County Engineer, covering September 2026–2027.
Harris County Commissioners Court will consider renewing a one-year software contract for the Office of the County Engineer at its July 9, 2026 meeting. The renewal with Carahsoft Technology Corporation covers Granicus software — tools that help manage permitting, inspections, licensing, digital forms, and public records. The contract runs September 18, 2026 through September 17, 2027 and costs $62,789. It is purchased through a Texas DIR cooperative contract, which is exempt from MWBE participation goals.
This contract keeps software running for county permitting, inspections, licensing, and public records. If it lapses, county staff may lose access to tools used to process permits and records that residents depend on.
