Council selects LJA Engineering to support TWDB grant application
Summary
By a 4–0 vote, the council approved Resolution 2026-12R awarding engineering professional services to LJA Engineering to prepare technical estimates and application materials for the city's TWDB water infrastructure grant pursuit.
The Jacinto City Council approved Resolution 2026-12R on July 9 to award professional engineering, architectural and surveying services for a proposed Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) Water Supply and Infrastructure Grant to LJA Engineering.
City Manager Lon D. Squyres explained the city issued an RFQ for engineering services, received three responses, and a review committee recommended LJA Engineering because of the firm's familiarity with the city and its capacity to meet a tight deadline. "They are the only firm with the depth of knowledge & familiarity with the city needed to complete the work and submit the application by the tight deadline," Squyres said.
Council Member Mario Gonzales moved to approve the resolution and Council Member Jimmy "JJ" Rivas seconded; the motion passed 4–0. The resolution notes any contract is dependent on successful negotiation.
The engineering scope discussed includes preparing project cost estimates and other technical documentation required by the TWDB application. Council requested staff return with negotiated terms and any updates tied to the grant application process.
