The procurement seeks contractors with demonstrated experience in industrial water supply systems and the capability to perform complex infrastructure work. Deliverables include engineering services, design work, and construction management support with detailed project scopes outlined in accompanying exhibits and technical specifications. Bidders must demonstrate relevant experience in industrial water infrastructure, financial stability, and the ability to meet state bonding and insurance requirements. Evaluation criteria include best-value considerations that assess both cost and technical qualifications of submitting contractors. The bid submission deadline is May 28, 2026, with award determinations to be made following a competitive evaluation process. The contract includes provisions for performance periods with potential extensions based on project needs and contractor performance.

Set-asides for historically underutilized businesses (HUBs) and small businesses may apply in accordance with Texas procurement regulations, potentially restricting eligibility to certain disadvantaged enterprise classifications. All proposals must comply with state procurement regulations, bonding requirements, and comprehensive insurance provisions as detailed in the bid documents. Funding for the contract derives from state appropriations and project-specific revenue sources, though specific budget ranges or award values are not disclosed in the available documentation. The solicitation does not identify any incumbent vendors or existing contractors currently performing these services. No information regarding existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements is specified in the summary materials provided.
