Request for approval of a State of Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) Cooperative Contract renewal option with Forerunner Industries, Inc. for Floodplain Management and Community Rating System (CRS) Software and related services for Harris County Revise for the period of September 30, 2026 - September 29, 2027, at a cost of $153,600, Justification for 0% MWBE Participation Goal: Exempt - Interlocal/Cooperative Agreement.
Harris County seeks to renew a $153,600 contract for floodplain management and CRS software with Forerunner Industries, Inc. through September 2027.
Harris County Commissioners Court introduced a contract renewal on July 10, 2026, for floodplain management and Community Rating System (CRS) software and related services from Forerunner Industries, Inc. The renewal runs from September 30, 2026, to September 29, 2027, at a cost of $153,600. It is processed through a State of Texas Department of Information Resources cooperative contract and is exempt from MWBE participation goals as an interlocal/cooperative agreement.
Harris County uses this software to manage floodplain data and track steps that can lower flood insurance costs for residents in the CRS program. Renewing it keeps those county flood management tools running.
