The San Jacinto County Commissioners Court has approved a contract with Spearpoint Engineering for services related to subdivision development. County engineer Mark Wood said at the regular Wednesday meeting that an agreement with the firm was approved on Oct. 14. District Attorney Greg Magee reviewed the resulting contract and approved it.
Wood said the contract sets the scope of duties and payment terms. It will help the county determine whether changes to county requirements requested by the firm developing San Jacinto Ranch are feasible and follow existing county law. He said the contract covers only technical review, not legal aspects.
County Judge Fritz Faulkner said disputes arising under the contract should be settled in San Jacinto County. He pointed out that the contract names Montgomery County instead.
The court also discussed requests for qualifications for consulting work. One was approved for a consulting firm for a proposed solar farm project in the county, and two submitted bids will be reviewed by a committee. Requests for legal and engineering consultation for the administrative department were tabled.
