TxDOT Aviation Division- Notice to Consultants

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Aviation Division is soliciting a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) on behalf of the City of Post and Garza County for professional engineering services at the Post-Garza County Municipal Airport. The comprehensive project (Project No. 2505POSTT) requires engineering and design services with optional construction administration for nine major airport infrastructure improvements, including runway reconstruction, runway light replacement, apron reconstruction, taxiway demolition and rehabilitation, and wildlife exclusion fencing installation. Respondents must submit a Qualifications Statement limited to nine single-sided 8.5x11-inch pages, demonstrating project understanding, technical approach, relevant airport project experience from the past ten years, proposed design schedule, and construction management capabilities. The project manager must be a Professional Engineer licensed in Texas, and submissions are due by November 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST through the TxDOT Aviation eGrants system. The evaluation criteria totals 100 points, with 25 points for recent comparable airport project experience, 30 points for proposed technical approach, 25 points for project design schedule and deadline adherence, and 20 points for construction management experience.

The solicitation includes a mandatory Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Subcontracting Plan with a 23.7 percent participation goal for professional services contracts. Respondents must verify they are not listed in specific National Defense Authorization Act sections and are not owned or controlled by foreign adversary governments. Only a single prime provider response is permitted, with multiple submissions rendering the provider non-responsive. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the airport improvements suggests a significant professional services engagement. The selected firm will be provided a draft professional services agreement to initiate fee proposal and negotiation phases, with the proposed design schedule potentially establishing contract deadlines. Interested firms must carefully review the RFQ requirements, ensuring compliance with technical qualifications, submission guidelines, and the mandatory HUB subcontracting participation goal.
