The Hidalgo County Urban County Program (UCP) is requesting authorization for the County Judge to sign contract amendment requests submitted to Texas Department of Rural Affairs Disaster Recovery Program (TDRA-DR).

During the application process for the projects quantities shown and estimates are made without the benefit of topograhic surveys and detailed designs performed by procured professional services, therefore, some items are not included in the original application.  Consequently, during the course of administering a TDRA-DR contract, situations may occur that require a change in the original terms of the contract (amendments or modifications) relating to the scope, location, or beneficiaries of the project.
