About this opportunity

The Texas Water Development Board is requesting proposals for mapping and line locates services for small rural water utilities serving 1,100 or fewer customers, with proposals due June 30, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time. Respondents must demonstrate good faith efforts to contract with certified Veteran Heroes United in Business (VetHUB) vendors and submit VetHUB Subcontracting Plans.

The scope covers locating, identifying, and mapping existing water distribution lines and associated infrastructure for small rural water utilities using field detection technologies, GPS data collection, and GIS-compatible digital map creation. Respondents must possess a minimum of five years of experience in water resources, utility systems planning, and geolocation of assets, with successful completion of at least five comparable projects involving rural or small water utility systems. Key personnel must hold a minimum of five years of relevant experience.

The maximum total project cost is $4.75 million. The contract term runs from September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with potential one-year extensions through August 31, 2030. Compensation is determined based on the rural systems receiving services, the level of field identification required, and deliverables provided. Funding derives from appropriated general revenue directed by the 89th Texas Legislature through Senate Bill 1, Section 17.18, and House Bill 500, Section 6.02(c).

Liquidated damages of $500 per day apply for delays in deliverable completion. TWDB may award one or more contracts. Written questions are due June 10, 2026. Evaluation is scored on a 130-point scale addressing technical qualifications, project management capacity, mapping software experience, rural utility systems expertise, asset management planning, financial and technical assistance coordination, and anticipated service capacity within budget.
