PK Buttress No. 8 Conduit Relocation Services

The Brazos River Authority (BRA) has issued Request for Proposals (RFP No. 25-1370) for professional engineering services to address conduit relocation at the Morris Sheppard Dam in Palo Pinto County, Texas. The project specifically targets electrical conduits embedded in Buttress No. 8 of the Possum Kingdom Lake Reservoir, requiring comprehensive assessment and rerouting of deteriorating infrastructure. Key deliverables include conducting a detailed condition assessment of existing electrical conduits, rerouting conduits to new electrical boxes, performing concrete coring, and mapping remaining conduit systems. Additionally, the scope may encompass supplementary services such as bidding support, contract administration, and construction phase engineering. Proposals are due by 10:00 AM on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, with two non-mandatory pre-proposal meetings scheduled for August 26, 2025, including an on-site pre-bid meeting at 301 Observation Point Road in Graford, Texas. The contract evaluation will focus on demonstrated competence, qualifications, and the ability to perform required services, with firms expected to showcase technical expertise in infrastructure assessment and relocation.

The RFP encourages participation from Small, Minority, Women Owned Businesses, and Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs), although no specific HUB participation goal is established for this project. Respondents must submit a HUB Subcontracting Plan and comply with specific insurance requirements, including professional liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence. The contract will be structured as a one-year term with potential renewals for up to four additional one-year periods, creating a total possible contract duration of five years. Compensation will be determined on a time and materials basis, with a mutually agreed not-to-exceed amount. The Brazos River Authority reserves the right to accept or reject any proposals, providing flexibility in the procurement process. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the complexity of the infrastructure relocation and engineering assessment suggests a substantial investment in professional services. Interested firms should carefully review the full RFP documentation to understand the complete scope of work and submission requirements.
