Resident asks court to explain month-to-month payments to Innovative Transportation Solutions

At the start of public comment on Oct. 3, a Brazos County resident said he believes a county contract with Innovative Transportation Solutions Inc. has reached its five‑year maximum and asked county officials to explain continuing monthly payments.

Adam Purdue, who identified himself as a Precinct 2 resident, told the court he reviewed the contract executed in August 2020 and quoted the contract’s term language: an initial two‑year period beginning Aug. 1, 2020, with an option to renew for three additional one‑year terms “for a maximum of 5 years,” and a clause saying the agreement “shall continue month to month after the initial term period until renewed by the county.”

Purdue said, based on that language, the contract’s five‑year maximum would have ended in July 2025 and that, in his view, the county was no longer “duly bound” to spend under the contract after that date. He asked commissioners and staff to explain “how and why we [are] spending $15,000 a month without it being duly authorized by the county.”

Purdue also described his personal work on the Noe’s Loop project and said his company bills at $250 an hour; he asked how to submit an invoice for services he said were not formally authorized. The court did not provide a substantive response during the public‑comment period; the clerk thanked Purdue at the end of his remarks.

Purdue’s statements were presented as his reading and interpretation of the contract language; no county staff response or official contract document was provided on the record during public comment. The court did not take action on the matter during the meeting.
