At its Oct. 20 meeting, the Seguin City Council approved a $4,109,427.82 construction contract for Walnut Branch Phase 4 water and sewer work.

The award to GATA (Guerra) Underground LLC is the largest dollar amount among four decisions documented in the city's reviewed meeting outcomes this week. The project covers sanitary sewer and water main construction.

Official meeting record for the Seguin City Council's Oct. 20, 2026, decisions.

All four decisions came from the Seguin City Council's Oct. 20 meeting. The decisions advance water and sewer construction, Cordova Road project oversight and commercial waste service arrangements in Seguin. They also establish a path for acquiring easements needed for a wastewater interceptor. Each entry below describes an action supported by the reviewed council outcome record.

Walnut Branch water and sewer contract

On Oct. 20, the Seguin City Council awarded GATA (Guerra) Underground LLC the $4,109,427.82 Walnut Branch Phase 4 sanitary sewer and water main construction contract. The approval authorizes the construction award; the reviewed outcome does not supply a construction start date. The city's Walnut Branch decision record identifies the project and contractor.

Cordova Road oversight

On Oct. 20, the Seguin City Council authorized the city manager to execute a $214,713.50 additional-services proposal with Pape Dawson Engineers for construction management on Cordova Road. This is a project-oversight authorization, distinct from the Walnut Branch construction award. Readers can inspect the Cordova Road action in the official meeting record.

Commercial waste service

On Oct. 20, the Seguin City Council approved five-year, nonexclusive commercial solid waste and recycling collection franchises for seven firms, effective Jan. 1, 2027. The resolution establishes a future service arrangement for commercial customers; it does not describe a change to residential collection in the retained outcome summary. The commercial franchise decision is available in the city's meeting record.

Bear Creek Trail easements

After a closed session on Oct. 20, the Seguin City Council adopted a resolution declaring the necessity of acquiring permanent utility, access and temporary construction easements for the 36-inch Geronimo Creek wastewater interceptor at Bear Creek Trail. The resolution authorizes condemnation if negotiations fail; it does not establish that condemnation has occurred. The easement resolution is the public action recorded for that item.

What to watch next

The next useful records are the executed Walnut Branch contract, the Cordova Road additional-services agreement, the franchise agreements ahead of their Jan. 1 effective date and any public filing showing how the Bear Creek Trail easements are acquired. The city's Oct. 20 meeting record provides the decision identifiers for readers tracking those documents.
