BACKGROUND
Public Works
Bid No. 08- PW- 09 -D -01 - E. Aviation Low
Water Crossing Drainage Improvements
Cibolo Creek water crossing (Aviation) is notoriously known for being closed when the
surrounding areas receive moderate to heavy rainfalls. As a result the City of Universal City and
the City of Schertz must coordinate their personnel in order to close the road off for water over
the road. The Public Works Department recommends installing large culverts that will help
reduce the amount of time the crossing is closed due to low creek flow and also relieve some
issues with overtime for personnel having to come out after hours to close the road. This
improved roadway will help with congestion from FM 78 and FM 1518 to and from Randolph
Air Force Base, surrounding cities, local businesses, and local schools.
FISCAL IMPACT
Continuous of the 2006 Drainage Bonds $3,800,000
