SUBJECT: An Interlocal Cost Sharing Agreement between the City of Houston and North Harris County Regional Water Authority for the Hardy Water Line Project.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt an ordinance approving and authorizing an Interlocal Cost Sharing Agreement between the City of Houston and North Harris County Regional Water Authority for the Hardy Water Line Project and allocate funds.
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: The City of Houston (the "City") and the North Harris County Regional Water Authority (the "NHCRWA") desire to construct a series of surface water transmission lines and related appurtenances. This cost sharing agreement sets the terms for the financing, design, construction, operation and maintenance of three (3) segments: Hardy Water Line Segment 1, Hardy Water Line Segment 2, and WW Thorne Water Line. The City’s share of each segment’s cost is calculated as a percentage based on the capacity required within the segment.
NHCRWA is responsible for the design, construction, ownership, maintenance and operation of the segments and will bill the City monthly for costs. The City’s full share of the costs will be determined at the completion of the design phase and once completed and known, additional allocation will be requested from Council for the City's share of costs. However, NHCRWA has already commenced work on studies and preliminary engineering. Within thirty days of execution, the City will pay the pro rata share of $41,244.82 for these costs.
FISCAL NOTE: Funding for this item is included in the FY2025 Adopted budget. Therefore, no Fiscal Note is required as stated in the Financial Policies.
