PASSEDHouston City Council · 2026-06-09

The City Council approved spending about $2 million from four different construction funds to support a Task Order and Job Order Contracting Program, which allows the city to hire contractors quickly for smaller construction and repair projects.

What it means for you

This funding enables the city to make repairs and improvements to public facilities — including parks, libraries, and health facilities — more efficiently by using pre-approved contractor pools rather than going through a full bidding process each time.
