The design contract’s ceiling rises from $571,000 to $600,000, a $29,000 increase. The city’s item memo says the money moves from construction to professional services within the project budget and remains below the Schertz Economic Development Corp.’s $771,000 design authorization. Those figures describe design spending authority; the council action does not itself award a construction contract.
What the redesign changes
The revised design shifts the Schertz Parkway alignment at Lookout Road and enlarges part of the proposed sewer main. According to the item memo, the alignment change is intended to avoid right-of-way, site and signage effects at Blue Bonnet Palace in Selma. The sewer change addresses anticipated future flows on the western portion of the proposed line. The memo also calls for a grade adjustment and extends the replacement west beyond its earlier limits.
