Seguin City Council adopted a resolution Nov. 3 authorizing a professional services agreement with CEC Corporation to inspect two city-owned power plant bridges and prepare a preliminary engineering report.
The authorization starts an engineering assessment of the crossings over Mays Creek; it does not select a bridge repair or replacement project.

For Seguin residents, the agreement directs power plant lease funds toward evaluating two city-owned crossings over Mays Creek. The resolution specifies $100,000 for the professional services agreement. That amount is for inspection and a preliminary report, rather than a documented construction price.
What the engineers will examine
The city's staff material says the bridges are on city property and cross Mays Creek. CEC's assignment is to inspect them and prepare a preliminary engineering report. The study will also assess alternatives for maintaining the power plant and site improvements without bridge-class structures. Those alternatives are subjects for evaluation, not choices council made Nov. 3.
A 2009 lease with Lake Seguin Hydro-Electric Partners says the city shall provide bridge(s). That obligation gives the engineering work its practical context: the city needs to understand how the plant and site improvements can be maintained before choosing a longer-term crossing solution.
