Request for Proposals for Operations Services

The Generation Park Management District, a political subdivision of Texas located northeast of Houston, is seeking a Request for Proposals (RFP) for comprehensive operations services for its water and wastewater systems. The procurement covers operational management for infrastructure serving currently 1,600 equivalent connections across 1,894.737 acres, with anticipated growth to 5,400 connections over 4,000+ acres. Specific services include customer billing and collections, 24-hour customer service, meter installation and inspections, facility operations, preventative maintenance, monthly Board reporting, regulatory compliance, and miscellaneous services like fire hydrant maintenance and digital asset management. The District's infrastructure includes two water plants, three water wells, one water system interconnect, one wastewater treatment plant, six lift stations, and one non-potable water pump station. Key procurement dates include written questions due by December 19, 2025, question responses by January 9, 2026, and proposal submissions due January 30, 2026, at 5:00 PM CST. Respondents must submit detailed cost structures, firm overviews, qualifications, personnel resumes, references, and proposed contract forms. Shortlisted respondents will be interviewed between February 23 and March 13, 2026, with contract selection tentatively occurring at the March 18, 2026 Board meeting.

The RFP does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Respondents are encouraged to provide comprehensive proposals demonstrating experience in Texas water district operations, with emphasis on firm credentials including employee count, years of relevant experience, and geographic proximity. While no specific contract term or renewal options are identified, the District reserves significant procurement flexibility, including the right to reject all responses, cancel the RFP, negotiate contract elements, and terminate any resulting contract with 30 days' written notice. All response costs will be borne by respondents, and submitted responses become District property. Confidential information must be clearly marked according to Texas Public Information Act requirements. The District recommends potential respondents contact the District and its engineer to conduct facility tours prior to submission. Although no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive scope of services suggests a substantial operational contract targeting water and wastewater system management for a rapidly growing district.
