MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Under the banner of Rebuild HISD, the Construction Services Department manages the bond program and is responsible for implementing the district's construction and renovation program.  The $805-million bond was passed by voters in 2007.

The office manages the resources allocated for the bond program, ensuring that they stay on schedule and on budget.

The Construction Services Department is also charged with selecting the program's managers, who are responsible for overseeing the architects, engineers, and construction companies that carry out the bond program's various projects.  HISD Construction Services encourages contracting with those companies that reflect the diversity of our community.

Working with the Bond Oversight Committee, Construction Services assures that the district's construction and renovation efforts are staying on track and managing taxpayer dollars wisely. The department provides the Bond Oversight Committee with regular updates, status reports, and program information. It is the ultimate goal of the department to make sure the bond program upholds HISD's long-term commitment to Houston's schools, students, and communities.
