About this opportunity

The Texas General Land Office (GLO) has issued Request for Proposals (RFP No. 5156-LP) for coastal construction services to restore a 4-acre bird rookery island located in east Galveston Bay near Gilchrist, Texas. The primary project involves mechanically dredging adjacent bay bottom sediments and strategically placing them into a designated restoration area to create upland nesting habitat with a beach shoreline. Proposals are due on November 4, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. CT, with an optional virtual pre-proposal conference scheduled for October 9, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. CT. The GLO anticipates contract execution by January 2026, with an estimated construction period of approximately 270 calendar days. Proposal evaluation will be comprehensive, with weighted criteria including cost (40%), demonstrated experience and qualifications (25%), technical proposal (25%), safety record and controls (5%), and overall responsiveness (5%). Respondents must submit a completed HUB Subcontracting Plan and will be considered for both base scope construction and potential alternative construction methods involving offsite borrow materials.

The solicitation includes a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) goal of 25.0% of the total contract value, indicating a strong emphasis on supporting diverse business participation. The estimated cost range for the base scope of work is between $5,500,000 and $8,500,000, with requirements for performance and payment bonds, comprehensive insurance, and compliance with state and federal regulations. Prospective contractors will need to demonstrate significant capabilities in coastal restoration, environmental construction, and habitat development, with a focus on precise dredging and land creation techniques. The contract will necessitate adherence to complex regulatory frameworks and environmental preservation standards. Successful bidders must provide detailed documentation of their technical approach, safety protocols, and organizational qualifications to be considered for this specialized coastal ecosystem restoration project.
