What the work is meant to address
The planned clarifier and pump station work is intended to add water treatment capacity for Seguin residents. The city described aging pumps, valves, piping and antiquated infrastructure as equipment the project would replace. Those are the city’s stated reasons for the investment; the records reviewed for this story do not establish a current water-service interruption.
Six sealed bids ranged from $17,957,255 to $22,526,260, according to the utility memorandum. The city identified certificates of obligation as the project’s funding source.
The next project record
The city memorandum lists a 540-consecutive-calendar-day completion period for the work. The executed contract and notice to proceed are the next records to check for the construction timetable.
