Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize a professional service agreement between Webb County and Killis Almond and Associates for the preparation of a Preservation Master Plan for the Webb County Courthouse and to further authorize the County Judge to execute and sign all relevant documents and any other matters incident thereto. [Account #1001-1130-001-432001 (General Fund-General Operating Exp-Administration-Professional Services)]

Issue: The Economic Development Department has been authorized to submit a grant application to the Texas Historic Commission due May 2024. A prerequisite to that grant submittal is for Webb County to submit to THC a Preservation Master Plan no later than February the 5th, 2024. Advertising an RFQ and securing a professional services agreement to the selected firm for these services will not provide sufficient time to meet the February deadline.

Solution: Approve a professional services agreement with Killis Almond and Associates, an approved qualified consultant who has worked on previous THCPP projects, to include the Webb County Courthouse.

Result: Secure a professional services agreement not to exceed prior budgetary allocations for this project. Expediting this process will help meet the grant deadline prerequisites.
