ON THE AGENDAHouston City Council · 2026-08-18

Council Member Pollard has tagged (postponed) a proposal to amend an existing design-build contract with Hensel Phelps Construction Company for renovations and upgrades to the Central Utilities Plant at George Bush Intercontinental Airport. The tag delays any council decision on the item.

What it means for you

If approved, the city would commit $12,000,000 from the Airport System Consolidated 2011 Construction Fund and authorize changes to the existing contract with Hensel Phelps Construction Company for utility plant work at Bush Airport; the tag means no decision has been made yet.

Outcome

Tagged (delayed under council rules) at the August 18, 2026 meeting; final vote at a later session.
