Schertz City Council approved Resolution 26-R-120, a final-design task order amendment for Lower Seguin Road. The Oct. 20 action expands Halff Associates’ design authority; the city’s official item memo explains the revised amount and project scope.
The original design authorization, approved Feb. 18, 2025, was capped at $2.7 million. The amended task order raises that ceiling to $3.5 million by transferring project budget from construction to professional services, according to the city’s item memo. A higher authorization sets a spending limit for design work; it is not a construction contract.

Why the design work expanded
The city identifies reconstruction of Lower Seguin Road and improved access to Randolph Air Force Base’s south gate as the project’s main objective. For drivers who use that entrance, the amendment funds more work on the design that must precede a construction bid.
The memo describes potential water-line and CRWA transmission-main easement or relocation issues, a possible conflict with runway landing lights, and coordination of a sewer extension. Staff characterized the higher design ceiling as funding for a worst-case scope and said unused design money would return to the project’s construction budget.
