Quintana Beach Jetty Debris Removal

The Texas General Land Office is soliciting lump-sum bids under IFB 9998B-SJ for removal and disposal of vegetative debris along the entire length of the Quintana Beach jetty, with bids due December 9, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. The GLO is committed to promoting business opportunities for State of Texas certified VetHUBs, but its evaluation determined that the contract has no probable subcontracting opportunities, so no Subcontracting Plan is required.

Debris from a Central Texas flooding event traveled down the Brazos River into coastal waters and accumulated on the jetty, where it poses a threat to public health and safety. The scope covers all labor, materials, tools, equipment, supplies, transportation, insurance, and personnel needed for removal. Rocks, concrete, and other structural components are excluded. Bidders must have at least five years of experience in debris removal, site clearing, waste removal, heavy hauling, or similar services, or their principals or owners must have held ownership or executive management roles for at least five years in a prior company providing similar services. Bidders must comply with OSHA standards and applicable federal and state law and maintain appropriate insurance. Work is permitted seven days a week during Quintana Beach County Park's allowable public day-use hours. Brazoria County provides site security, coordinates removal, and conducts final inspection. No permits or approvals are required.

Place of performance is the Quintana Beach jetty in Brazoria County, Texas. The opportunity metadata lists Travis County and four Austin City FIPS entries as jurisdictions. The contract term is one year from Purchase Order issuance or upon project completion, whichever the GLO determines solely. Award will be based on best value to the state under Texas Government Code 2155.074. Bid prices must remain firm for GLO acceptance for 120 days from the bid opening date. The GLO does not reimburse bid preparation costs and approves payment only after goods and services are received and accepted. Notice of award and Purchase Order issuance are anticipated December 16, 2026. Parking at the county park is available at no cost to bidders and their personnel.
