Schertz council materials proposed raising Halff Associates' design ceiling for Lower Seguin Road to $3.5 million and Lookout Road to $600,000.
For Schertz residents, the Lookout proposal would move $29,000 from road construction to design services while leaving the overall project budget unchanged. The same council materials proposed a separate $160,000 ceiling for Halff work on the Weir Road crossing.
The Oct. 20 agenda scheduled the Lookout and Lower Seguin amendments as consent items and the Weir Road task order as a discussion and action item. The amounts in this article are proposed authorization ceilings, not amounts paid.

How the road proposals compare
The Lower Seguin Road memo says council authorized a $2.7 million design ceiling in February 2025. It proposes raising that ceiling to $3.5 million, citing utility conflicts, grant reapplications and changes in the design scope. The proposed resolution specifies an $876,415 task-order amendment within the new ceiling.
The Lookout memo reports an initial $330,000 design ceiling, followed by earlier amendments that brought it to $571,000. Its proposed $600,000 ceiling addresses western sewer upsizing and a shift in the Schertz Parkway alignment. The $29,000 increase would come from the project’s construction allocation, the memo says, without increasing the overall project budget.
