Budget amendment approved after low bid of $287,000 for Canyon Lake Little League concession stand
Summary
Parks staff told the court the project bid came in at $287,000 versus a $200,000 estimate; the court approved an $80,000 budget amendment and accepted related donations totaling $6,500 (including an earlier $5,000 donation) to cover the project.
Comal County approved a budget amendment on Oct. 16 to cover higher-than-expected construction bids for a new concession stand at Hidden Valley Sports Park intended for Canyon Lake Little League.
Parks staff summarized the project's procurement history: a May 2024 estimate and design costs totaled about $221,000, but the September 2025 bidding process returned a low bid of $287,000. Staff requested an $80,000 budget amendment to bridge the gap; the court approved the transfer by voice vote. The court also accepted a $1,500 donation from Canyon Lake Little League contingent on the budget amendment and noted a prior $5,000 donation from Ken Lick Little League.
"The bids came back and the low bid was $287,000," parks staff said in presenting the item. Staff said the amended budget will allow the concession stand with a second-story game tracking area to proceed to construction.
