Summary
The court approved engineering contracts totaling several million dollars for Mount Pesch, Robichaud and Morrison roads tied to the county mobility bond program and approved a variance to subdivision street-radius standards for Clear Creek Reserve.
The Waller County Commissioners Court approved multiple professional engineering agreements and a subdivision variance tied to planned mobility-bond road projects on April 16.
The court approved an agreement with HR Green Inc. not to exceed $897,389.44 for engineering services on Mount Pesch Road (Precinct 2). It also approved an agreement with Volker Inc. not to exceed $683,750.91 for Robichaud Road (Precinct 1) and an agreement with KCI Technologies Inc. not to exceed $1,649,987 for Morrison Road (increasing allowances for the Morrison Road mobility fund project). Funding for these contracts is drawn from the county’s mobility professional services line items established under the mobility bond program. Commissioners indicated these are routine contracts to complete the bond program work.
The court also approved a variance to subdivision and development regulations for Clear Creek Reserve in Precinct 2 to reduce the center-line radius on designated local street curves from the standard 650 feet to 300 feet for specific proposed curves between a planned thoroughfare and the existing FM right-of-way. Staff said the reduced radius aims to reduce vehicle speeds at the connection point, trading some line-of-sight distance for a design that discourages high-speed through-traffic.
All motions passed with no recorded opposition. County staff said remaining mobility-bond contracts are being processed and that most contracts will be finalized in the coming quarter.
