Grand Parkway (SH 99) H, I-1 & I-2

As a result of our work on Segments F1, F2, & G, CobbFendley was contracted to provide additional right-of-way services for Segments H, I-1, and I-2 from IH 69 to FM 686. This part of the development is an $855 million design-build construction contract for 52.8 miles of the Grand Parkway loop, spanning Chambers, Harris, Liberty and Montgomery Counties. CobbFendley was responsible for the acquisition of approximately 90 parcels as well as 70 relocations. This project required stringent inner office quality control and assurance. Therefore, all paperwork was pushed through a three-tier review process. Clear communication and purpose driven collaboration with the developer, Grand Parkway Infrastructure, and TxDOT was paramount throughout the right-of-way process. There was a tight schedule for gaining possession of the required parcels, but CobbFendley was able to meet scheduled milestones and goals. CobbFendley faced a multitude of adversities to reach these goals including:

• Negative community perspectives. CobbFendley provided one-on-one attention to each landowner using minimal industry jargon, giving them the insight and information needed to re-examine their perspective.
• Design changes. CobbFendley was still able to provide expedient and quality work when tasked with unpredicted design changes.
• Title curative. Our agents provided several solutions to title issues that would have normally created a condemnation situation, saving the developer time and money.
