Professional Engineering Services – Pre-Qualification Pool

Comal County, Texas is requesting Statements of Qualifications to establish a pre-qualified pool of professional engineering firms for on-call, task-order-based services over a three-year period, with SOQs due August 13, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CST.

The scope encompasses civil and site engineering, structural engineering, transportation and roadway engineering, hydrology and drainage, water and wastewater system design, environmental engineering and regulatory permitting, surveying and geotechnical services, and construction administration and project management. All key personnel must hold current professional engineer licenses from the Texas Board of Professional Engineers. Firms must provide three representative project references, firm organization details, key personnel resumes, and contract history for the past 24 months.

Evaluation is weighted as follows: demonstrated experience (40 points), demonstrated work performance (30 points), proposed team (20 points), and demonstrated capacity to perform (10 points). Award will be made to the most qualified firm based on competence and qualifications. Professional fees must be consistent with published recommended practices of professional associations and not exceed any state law maximums.

Submissions must include completed certifications addressing debarment status, conflict of interest, tax record compliance, non-collusion, House Bill 89 verification, Iran and Sudan business restrictions, firearm entity discrimination certification, and Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295). Comal County Commissioners Court will select and approve the pool; specific firms will be selected from the pool as individual projects arise. The County reserves the right to terminate any resulting contract with 60 days written notice and will not make advance payments or incur unfunded liabilities. Questions are due August 5, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. CST. Responses may be submitted electronically via BidNetDirect or by hard copy to the Comal County Purchasing Office. All submissions must remain valid for 90 days from the submission deadline.
