CONSIDERATION OF AND ACTION ON
Resolution R2026-51 Authorizing Professional Engineering Service Provider Selection for Mitigation Reallocation Program (MRP) Through the Texas General Land Office (GLO)
The Mitigation Reallocation Program (MRP) is a strategic effort to ensure mitigation funding continues to strengthen Texas communities. Through the MRP, communities will be able to apply for funding for mitigation activities such as flood and drainage improvements, water system improvements, wastewater improvements, street improvements and permanently affixed emergency communications equipment that reduce the impacts of future hurricanes, storms and flooding.
The MRP is funded with unutilized and de-obligated Community Development Block Grant for Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) funds from HUD. All mitigation eligible cities and counties will be able to apply for the MRP and will be considered based on the criteria identified in the action plan amendment. The MRP reinforces the GLO’s commitment to helping Texans prepare, withstand, and recover from disasters with stronger, more resilient systems in place.
Grant award caps and local match requirements have not yet been disclosed by the GLO.
Resolution R2026-51 authorizes an award for Professional Engineering Services for the Texas General Land Office Mitigation Reallocation Program (MRP) to Urban Engineering Services. The City received a total of four Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) which were evaluated by staff. SOQs were received from the following:
- Strand Associates
- Mundo and Associates

The SOQs were reviewed to determine the most qualified and responsive provider for this professional service, giving consideration to ability to perform successfully under the terms and conditions of the proposed procurement, integrity, compliance with public policy, record of past performance, and financial and technical resources. Of those who submitted SOQs, Urban Engineering has been selected to provide application and project-related engineering and design services for the Mitigation Reallocation Program.
