RFQ Design/Build Services for East Side Community Pool

Reeves County is requesting sealed qualifications for design/build services to construct an East Side Community Pool facility, with qualifications due August 21, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. CST and questions due by August 18. This is a two-stage procurement: shortlisted firms will submit detailed proposals (due July 28, 2026 if shortlisted), with anticipated award on September 14 and project completion by May 2027.

Respondents must hold current Texas architectural and engineering licenses and maintain bonding capacity equal to the total project cost. Qualifications must demonstrate current commercial general liability coverage of at least $1 million per occurrence and professional liability coverage of at least $1 million per claim for architects and engineers. Builder's risk insurance is required.

The scope encompasses complete design and construction, including architectural programming, engineering, permitting, and construction administration through project closeout. The facility will include two pools (one large pool with slide and one kiddie pool), shade structures with seating for five to six people each, separate men's and women's bathrooms with showers, a concession stand, pumphouse equipment room, chemical storage, and perimeter fencing of six to seven feet. The site is located at Block 11th and Locust (Block 5 Tract 5) and must accommodate a minimum capacity of 200 people.

The estimated project budget is $5 million, inclusive of design, construction, testing, permitting, and professional service fees. The design-build contract extends through project closeout and warranty periods.

Evaluation uses a 100-point scale: prime respondent capabilities (5%), demonstrated experience on similar projects (25%), other team member experience (35%), design consultant qualifications (15%), project organizational chart (5%), and other appropriate factors including feasibility, project schedule, safety/durability, and costing methodology (10%). Submission of conflict-of-interest questionnaires, affidavits regarding boycotts and sanctions compliance, health insurance benefits information, and certificates of interested parties is mandatory.
