SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
As was discussed at the February 24th Council meeting, the City of La Porte approved a contract with
NGB Constructors to build abutments and install a pedestrian bridge over Little Cedar Bayou at its intersection
with S. 3M Street right-of-way. A portion of the funding for that contract was contingent on amending the
Agreement with Harris County for funding that was approved by Council on October 14,2002. The amended
agreement, if approved, will increase Harris County funding for the project from $150,000 to $175,000. Should
Council approve the amended agreement, it will be submitted to Harris County Commissioner's Court for their
approval. With the City's participation and Harris County's additional funding, there are enough funds to
complete this project.
Action Required bv Council:
Consider approval of an Ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute an Amended Agreement with
Harris County for the Pedestrian Bridge Project.
