RFQ 2026-Q03 Land Surveying Services Pool

Hays County, Texas is initiating a Request for Qualifications (RFQ 2026-Q03) to establish a Land Surveying Services Pool for use by county department directors, elected officials, and the Commissioners Court. The procurement seeks to create a roster of qualified land surveying firms capable of providing professional services on an as-needed basis, including traditional land surveying, right-of-way surveys, grading plans, topographic surveys, property corner locates, GPS/GIS assignments, deed research, and flood plain determinations. Firms must possess a minimum of five years of land surveying experience and be registered and licensed in Texas. Proposals are due by 10:30 a.m. on December 4, 2025, with firms required to submit one original and one digital copy. The County will evaluate proposals using three primary criteria: Capacity to Perform (40 points), Project Management Philosophy (30 points), and Experience of the Company (30 points). Potential projects may involve federal, state, and local funding sources, necessitating compliance with various regulatory requirements.

The solicitation does not establish a specific Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) participation goal, though the County encourages HUB involvement and will consider a bidder's responsiveness to HUB practices. Participating firms must complete multiple certification forms addressing boycott policies, debarment, and other state and federal requirements. The procurement allows for optional annual review and potential contract renewals, providing flexibility for ongoing service needs. Proposal submissions can be made electronically or physically, accommodating different vendor preferences. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated, the services pool is designed to support various county surveying needs across multiple potential projects. The solicitation suggests the county anticipates multiple vendors may be selected to create a comprehensive services pool, enabling flexible procurement of surveying services as needed by different county departments and officials.
