The Tomball City Council on a 5-0 vote approved a professional services agreement with AIG Technical Services LLC to design improvements to the North Cherry Street storm sewer, in an amount not to exceed $1,908,249.

City staff said the work will be paid from a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Project Grant received by the city. The agreement covers design services; council approval authorizes the city to proceed with contracting for the design but does not itself authorize construction spending.

Megan (city staff presenter) summarized the project and the funding source during the council’s consideration. A motion to approve the agreement received a second and carried unanimously.

The council did not discuss specific construction timelines or contractor procurement steps during the public vote. Staff did not specify a construction contractor, a start date for construction, or whether additional local match will be required.

Council action: motion approved 5-0; staff will proceed with the design agreement with AIG Technical Services under the HUD Community Project Grant.
