RFQ - Surveying Services - Canal Levee

The Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (GBRA) is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) for surveying services related to the TX-35 Canal Levee and Goff Bayou Levee project in Calhoun County, Texas. The procurement seeks a qualified surveying firm to perform a limited field survey across approximately 11,000 linear feet of levee right bank, specifically covering a 3,300-foot section of the TX-35 Canal levee (approximately 2.7 acres) and a 7,700-foot section of the Goff Bayou Levee (approximately 6.2 acres). Required deliverables include a deed base map, boundary staking, topographic survey, and orthophoto of the project areas. Firms must submit their SOQ electronically via BidNet Direct by Thursday, August 7, 2025, at 2:00 PM CDT, with submissions limited to 20 pages. GBRA will evaluate submissions based on compliance with the Professional Services Questionnaire, work plan, personnel experience, and firm experience, with potential for interviews with top-ranked firms. The evaluation criteria will focus on the firm's demonstrated capability to complete the comprehensive survey and mapping project effectively.

GBRA explicitly encourages submissions from Small, Minority, and Women Owned Businesses, indicating a commitment to diverse vendor participation. The authority reserves the right to accept or reject any SOQs and to utilize concepts or ideas from submissions regardless of selection. While specific contract value is not disclosed, the services agreement includes provisions for monthly invoicing and comprehensive insurance requirements, including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, and Business Automobile Liability. The contract will remain in effect until the scope of work is completed, with potential termination provisions for both parties. Contractors must comply with various statutory verifications, including provisions related to boycotts, business with certain countries, and human trafficking. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, and the project appears to be a new initiative focused on detailed surveying and mapping of critical levee infrastructure in Calhoun County.
