Seguin City Council approved the Walnut Branch Phase 4 utility construction award on Oct. 20. The city’s meeting listing marks item 7.C approved, but its retained outcome summary and contract documents disagree about the construction price.
The project includes sewer work along Walnut Branch and an eight-inch water main along Goodrich Street. The staff material describes rehabilitation of about 766 feet of existing 24-inch sewer and installation of about 841 feet of 30-inch sewer. It does not establish a customer count or a service-interruption schedule.
What the price records say
The posted agenda proposed a $4,409,427.82 construction award to Guerra Underground LLC. The city’s resolution and meeting listing also give $4,409,427.82, while a separately retained verified outcome summary gives $4,109,427.82 for the same item. That discrepancy should be resolved against the executed contract before the lower figure is treated as the authorized price.
The resolution lists a $440,942.78 contingency and a $4,850,370.60 total when that contingency is included. A contingency is spending capacity for the project, not a statement that the city has already spent that amount. City staff identified utility bonds as the funding source.
