Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) Update for Jefferson County

Jefferson County Purchasing Department is requesting proposals for an updated Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) for Jefferson County, Texas, with proposals due September 23, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Central Time. The county encourages participation from Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), Minority/Women Business Enterprises (M/WBEs), HUBZone small businesses, and Veteran Heroes United In Business (VetHUB) firms, though no set-aside or participation goal is stated.

The scope requires a comprehensive LHMP update addressing the county's hazard mitigation needs and federal compliance requirements. Deliverables and specific technical standards are not detailed in the summary provided.

All proposers must register with the System for Award Management (SAM), submit a completed Form 1295 (Texas Ethics Commission Certificate of Interested Parties), and provide proof of general liability insurance of at least $1 million with excess liability coverage of $1 million. Proposals must include one original and five hard copies with all required documentation completed in full; failure to acknowledge any addenda will result in rejection. Contractors must comply with Davis-Bacon wage requirements, civil rights compliance, debarment certification, and all federally mandated contract provisions.

The evaluation committee will assess proposals based on proposer experience, qualifications, and project approach. The county reserves the right to conduct written or oral interviews and will award based on best value rather than lowest cost. A pre-proposal conference has been announced; the date is not specified in the summary. Contract value, term, and anticipated award date are not stated. The contract may include federal funding if the project qualifies for federal awards.
