Council pauses North Elm Street parking phase 2 professional-services agreement
Summary
Councilors voted to take no action on a proposed professional services agreement with AIG Technical Services for the North Elm Street parking phase 2 project, citing a desire to consider coordination with other city projects and potential grant funding before proceeding.
The Tomball City Council on May 19 took no action on a proposed professional services agreement with AIG Technical Services LLC for North Elm Street Parking Phase 2.
City staff said the AIG contract would cover engineering for approximately 96 parking stalls with detention to mitigate localized flooding; the proposed not-to-exceed amount in the staff report was $196,801.60. Council discussion centered on whether to defer action to coordinate the Phase 2 work with other parking and mobility projects, and whether potential grant funds should be pursued before committing local funds.
Councilmembers asked staff to research grant eligibility and the possibility of consolidating contracts to gain economies of scale with other bond-funded or TDC projects. Staff advised that postponing action would not impair the project schedule and that the schematic and drainage elements would remain under review.
After discussion, council directed staff to take no action on the item at the May 19 meeting so city staff could return with recommendations about contract consolidation and grant opportunities.
