TxDOT Aviation Division- Notice to Consultants

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Aviation Division is soliciting qualifications from professional consulting firms to perform a comprehensive drainage study and improvement plan for the Mineral Wells Regional Airport. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) requires interested firms to submit a detailed Qualifications Statement (QS) of no more than nine single-sided pages, focusing on project understanding, technical approach, and relevant experience. The procurement will be administered under 49 U.S.C. 47107(a)(17) and Chapter 2254, Subchapter A, of the Texas Government Code, with a submission deadline of May 13, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST. The project comprises two primary phases: a preliminary drainage study report and a final drainage study, with expected deliverables including infrastructure recommendations, preliminary design, and construction cost estimates. An evaluation committee will review and rank submissions based on four key criteria: capability and qualifications (25 points), recent experience (25 points), ability to meet schedules and performance reputation (25 points), and proposed technical approach and schedule (25 points).

The solicitation includes a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal of 6%, indicating a commitment to promoting diversity in contracting opportunities. Respondents will need to demonstrate specific capabilities in airport drainage studies, with an emphasis on technical competence and proven performance in similar infrastructure projects. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the drainage study suggests a significant scope of work requiring expertise in civil engineering, hydrological analysis, and infrastructure planning. The selection process will be conducted by a committee of local government representatives who will assess the qualifications of potential consulting firms based on their ability to provide comprehensive, actionable recommendations for drainage improvements at the Mineral Wells Regional Airport. Firms interested in responding must carefully prepare their submissions to address all evaluation criteria and demonstrate their technical capabilities and past performance in similar municipal infrastructure projects.
