This is a Professional Service Contract template document related to the City of Houston's Water Distribution Repair and Improvement Program, a large-scale, multi-year initiative to rehabilitate and replace the City's aging water distribution infrastructure. The contract seeks a qualified engineering firm capable of rapidly implementing and scaling a citywide water distribution repair and improvement program to provide waterline replacements across Houston under a Programmatic Design and Construction Manager (PDCM) delivery model. The selected firm will assume single-point responsibility for multiple concurrent projects at a programmatic scale and must demonstrate technical, managerial, and financial capacity to execute the program. The procurement process follows the Texas Professional Services Procurement Act under Texas Government Code Chapter 2254, with the selected firm's professional engineering, program management, design, and construction management services procured accordingly.

The contract requires the selected firm to provide comprehensive services encompassing planning, management, design, and delivery of water distribution infrastructure improvements throughout Houston. As a programmatic engagement, the firm will manage multiple concurrent projects rather than individual discrete assignments, necessitating substantial organizational capacity and experience in large-scale municipal infrastructure programs. The specific contract terms, pricing structure, contract duration, renewal options, and award timeline are not detailed in the template document provided, but prospective firms should be prepared to demonstrate financial capacity, technical expertise in water distribution systems, and program management experience at municipal scale.
