San Patricio County approves $9.4 million in drainage contracts for Taft and Sinton channels
Summary
Commissioners unanimously approved two construction contracts totaling about $9.38 million to improve drainage at the Taft and Sinton channels, part of ongoing flood-mitigation and road-protection work.
San Patricio County commissioners on Monday approved two construction contracts to improve drainage in the Taft and Sinton channel areas, awarding roughly $2.04 million for Taft Channel work and about $7.34 million for Sinton Channel projects.
The agreements were listed on the consent agenda and passed by unanimous vote. The judge read the contract items into the record as part of consent item 2.3, naming J Carol Weaver (RFQ 2025-019 D239) for Taft Channel work ($2,041,724.08) and JE Construction (RFQ 2020D239) for Sinton Channel work ($7,341,037.70) as the contractors to provide drainage improvements.
The contracts are presented as part of the county's routine capital and infrastructure work to address drainage and roadway impacts. No amendments to scope or funding sources were discussed during the consent motion; the court approved the package as presented.
Commissioners also approved related consent items in the same vote, including acceptance of an official bond for the election administrator and several hangar-lease renewals at the county airport. The county will return any contract documents to staff for final execution and processing.
The court did not request further discussion on the drainage contracts after they were read on the consent agenda. The next procedural step noted by staff is contract execution and scheduling of work under each contractor's terms.
