Who's involved

Shooter & Lindsey, LLC (landscape contractor)

Bridgeland Development, LP (represented by Howard Hughes Holdings Inc.) (developer)

Possible conflicts

BGE, Inc.: Recommends the award and also is engineer to MUD 419, whose agendas list "Mason Road, Sections 8 and 9" projects too. (Minutes p.2; MUD 419 agendas Mar. 9 and May 11, 2026; consultant schedules in the audits of MUD 493 (HC_493_Final_Audit_Report_FY_Ended_May_31_2024.pdf, PDF p.31) and MUD 419 (2025_05_31_Audit_Report.pdf, PDF p.70))

Money or costs moved

HC MUD 493 (future bonds) → Bridgeland Development, LP If developer-let, the Developer advances the cost and is later reimbursed from District bonds; amount not stated.

Why the board approved it

Recorded: “BGE requested concurrence; motion to accept the Engineer's Report "as recommended by BGE" (p.2-3).”

No amount, bid count or funding source is recorded. MUD 419's agendas also list Mason Road Section 8-9 work, so it is not clear how costs on Mason Road are divided between the two districts.
