Parker County Rainwater Harvesting System

Parker County, Texas, is soliciting bids for a comprehensive Rainwater Harvesting System through Request for Proposal (RFP) PC26-11, with proposals due on November 24, 2025, at 2:00 PM and anticipated contract award on December 8, 2025, at 9:00 AM. The procurement seeks multiple rainwater harvesting tanks ranging from 4,990 to 65,567 gallons, with specifications equivalent to Pioneer Water Tank XLR Zincalume Series. Deliverables include tank delivery and installation, with a mandatory 20-year manufacturer warranty. Evaluation criteria will encompass material pricing, vendor reputation, past performance, and overall bid value. The project is specifically funded through the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District Rainwater Harvesting Grant Program, and bidders must provide detailed pricing for various tank sizes while meeting comprehensive technical specifications.

The solicitation allows for cooperative purchasing, enabling other governmental entities to potentially utilize the contract under identical terms and conditions. Vendors must maintain specific insurance coverage, including worker's compensation and general liability, with Parker County designated as an additional insured party. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the procurement documents outline rigorous vendor qualification requirements, including submission of a detailed vendor application, three professional references, tax identification documentation, and certifications regarding business practices. The contract includes flexible provisions for potential termination with 30-day written notice and opportunities for future contract extensions or modifications. Though a precise award value is not specified, the multi-tier tank size options suggest a potentially substantial procurement range contingent upon the county's specific infrastructure needs and grant funding allocation.
