Summary
Commissioners approved a professional services agreement with H2O Partners for the county's five-year hazard mitigation plan update, a requirement for grant eligibility that will include Cibolo and Seguin as participating jurisdictions.
Guadalupe County’s commissioners on July 1 approved a professional services agreement with H2O Partners, Inc., to update the county’s five-year hazard mitigation plan.
County purchasing staff said H2O Partners was the highest-ranked proposer in RFP 25‑10. The update will be a continuation of the county’s current plan and will include annexes and coordination with the cities of Cibolo and Seguin, both of which are participating in the update. County staff said maintaining an approved hazard mitigation plan is a prerequisite for eligibility for certain state and federal mitigation grant programs.
Pam and Patrick from county staff presented the agreement and said the plan’s work includes updating risk assessments and annexes, and preparing documentation that enables the county to pursue mitigation grants. Commissioners approved the contract by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
County staff said Cibolo and Seguin will participate in plan development and that the cities are expected to receive grant funding that will cover the consultant work for their portions of the plan.
