Schertz expects to rebid replacement of failing panels at the library’s retaining wall, a project estimated at $350,000.

Library users are waiting for the wall work to be rebid, while Fire Station 4 remains scheduled for completion in March 2027. The city lists the library retaining wall in design and projects completion in fall 2027.

For a sense of scale, Main Street’s estimated cost works out to about $1,627 per Schertz household, more than Fire Station 4 and Northcliffe combined. Each figure divides a city project estimate by 15,903 households in the Census ACS 2020–24; it is a comparison of project size, not a bill.

The city’s update says the library’s plastic wall panels will be replaced with concrete and some rear courtyard pavers will be replaced. A procurement meeting has been held, and the bid package is to be refined.

Construction and bids ahead

Fire Station 4 remains on schedule for March 2027 at an estimated total cost of $13.25 million. Its walls are closed and water service has been established, the update says. Wiring and driveway work are next; pricing for the technology package is pending.

The update lists a Dec. 16 bid opening for Wendy Swan drainage and Northcliffe Country Club Estates. Wendy Swan is scheduled for bid advertising on Nov. 18 and 25, while the Northcliffe water, wastewater and street replacement is slated to go out to bid this week.

City estimates, not awarded contract prices. Rows mix total-project and construction-only estimates.

Main Street’s estimated $25.88 million project has a different near-term sequence: procurement on Nov. 19, public outreach in December and stakeholder meetings in January or February. The city expects traffic effects during the first utility-replacement phase in spring 2027 and lists a March 2027 bid for that work.

The update is scheduled as information for the Nov. 17 City Council meeting. Residents can inspect the city’s November project update for the estimates and schedules; later bid notices, bid openings and council records will show how those plans develop.
