Request for approval of a renewal option with Seril Inc. dba Houston Grotech for lawn care and landscape maintenance at various locations for the Office of the County Engineer for the period of June 14, 2026 - June 13, 2027, at a cost of $1,044,580, and for the County Clerk to execute any applicable bonds to be received (210270), MWBE Contracted Goal: 11%, MWBE Current Participation: 14.75%.
