Amend the Fiscal Year 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor & Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize the restructuring of two Infrastructure Construction Agreements (ICA) with the Botanical Research Institute of Texas, Inc.

Per this agreement, the City committed to construct, maintain, repair, or relocate certain public infrastructure within the Botanic Garden. The City entered into ICAs with the BRIT for the delivery of projects outlined in the MSA. The two ICAs being amended are City Secretary Contract No. 56196 (M&C 21-0367, June 8, 2021) and City Secretary Contract No. 60446 (M&C 23-0837, September 26, 2023). It has become necessary to restructure the two ICAs by removing the project and amount specificity to provide flexibility for project selection, management, and prioritization.
