About this opportunity

The City of Weslaco has issued Request for Qualifications (RFQ No. 2024-25-24) for On-Call Professional Right of Way (ROW) Acquisition Services, seeking qualified firms to provide comprehensive turnkey services for capital projects. The procurement will support roadway, drainage, utility, and economic development initiatives, requiring firms to comply with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Act, Texas statutes, and potential TxDOT or federal funding requirements. Respondents must demonstrate a minimum of two years continuous experience in municipal or state ROW acquisition and include Texas-licensed real estate appraisers. The evaluation will use a weighted criteria system allocating points for service approach (20 points), firm qualifications (20 points), work plan/schedule realism (30 points), local conditions knowledge (10 points), references (5 points), and regulatory knowledge (15 points). Key deliverables include project management, appraisals, negotiations, title and closing services, relocation assistance, and meeting support. A non-mandatory pre-submittal conference is scheduled for July 3, 2025, at 4:00 PM, with electronic submissions due via BidNet by July 18, 2025, at 11:00 AM.

The contract will have an initial one-year term with potential for up to four one-year renewals at the city's discretion. Firms must maintain insurance coverage including $1 million in commercial general liability, professional liability, and automobile liability. Firms located more than 200 highway miles from Weslaco must demonstrate capacity for timely on-site coverage. Compensation will be structured on a time-and-materials or lump-sum basis per task order, in accordance with Texas Government Code 2254 and subject to annual appropriations. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned, the RFQ suggests a competitive procurement process open to qualified professional ROW acquisition firms. The procurement does not specify an exact budget range, but the time-and-materials or lump-sum task order approach indicates flexibility in project scope and potential spending. The contract's ongoing nature and potential for multiple renewals suggest a significant and sustained need for ROW acquisition services within the City of Weslaco's infrastructure and development initiatives.
