Comal County commissioners approved a $1,624,308.77 Safeware agreement Thursday for phase two of the county’s flood-alert system. The agreement covers construction, installation and implementation of the next phase of the county flood-alert system.
Completion was moved to July 1. The approved contract is a step toward putting the next phase in place; it is not a notice that the equipment has been installed or that new alerts are operating.
What the approval covers
Before the decision, the Nov. 12 agenda presented the Safeware agreement as a proposed contract for construction, installation and implementation. The verified meeting outcome records the court’s approval of the agreement under an OMNIA contract. Commissioner Webb made the motion and Commissioner Crownover seconded it.
The project is partly funded through a Texas Water Development Board grant. The $1,624,308.77 figure is the approved agreement price, not a documented bill to county taxpayers after grant funding.
What to check next
The next useful records are the signed Safeware agreement and its deployment attachments, followed by the grant award or reimbursement schedule. Those documents should allow residents to check the planned equipment sites, the areas the system is intended to cover and the county’s remaining share. Readers can inspect the county’s Nov. 12 agenda while those implementation details are verified.
