RFSQ - Professional Engineering Services to Perform System-Wide Inspection and Condition Assessments of the Existing roadway, Bridge and Facility Infrastructure

Harris County Toll Road Authority is requesting qualifications for professional engineering services to perform system-wide inspection and condition assessments of roadway, bridge, and facility infrastructure across the HCTRA toll system, with qualifications due August 17, 2026. HCTRA intends to make multiple awards to qualified firms.

The toll system comprises approximately 132 centerline miles, 285 bridge structures, and 270,000 square feet of building and equipment facilities. The scope spans four disciplines: roadway and drainage engineering and inspection; structural engineering and inspection; building, pump station, and generator engineering and inspection; and data collection, reporting, and GIS. Selected firms will perform annual inspections and condition assessments over a contract period of up to five years, with HCTRA retaining the right to extend the time and expand the scope. Deliverables include updated asset inventory, cost estimates, maintenance service performance evaluations, and implementation plans for budget forecasting and maintenance scheduling. All work must fulfill requirements mandated by the Trust Indentures securing HCTRA's revenue bonds. Contractors must furnish all labor, materials, supervision, engineering analysis and reporting, design, PS&E development, design surveying, and project management.

Detailed scope documents for roadway, bridge, facility, and reporting work are available on the Bonfire portal. Selected firms will report directly to HCTRA's System-wide Inspection and Condition Assessments Project Manager for work assignments, technical direction, schedule adherence, and quality control. HCTRA reserves the right to expand, reduce, or delete work elements as needed. Written questions are due August 17, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CDT and must be submitted through Bonfire at harriscountytx.bonfirehub.com/.
