TxDOT Aviation Division- Notice to Consultants

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Aviation Division is seeking professional services for Terry County Airport through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) focused on developing a comprehensive Airport Layout Plan (ALP). The primary objective is to prepare a detailed narrative document that includes an 18B Obstruction Survey, aligned with FAA Master Plan Advisory Circular requirements and specific Standard Operating Procedures. The project will cover Terry County Airport in Brownfield, Texas, which has two runways: Runway 02-20 (5,218 feet by 75 feet) and Runway 13-31 (4,200 feet by 75 feet). Consultants must submit qualifications through the TxDOT Aviation eGrants system by January 8, 2026, at 2:00 PM Central Standard Time. The evaluation will utilize a 100-point scoring system assessing four key criteria: key personnel qualifications (25 points), recent comparable airport planning experience (25 points), schedule and deadline performance (25 points), and proposed technical approach (25 points). Qualifications statements are limited to nine single-sided pages and should include firm contact information, project team details, relevant experience, and proposed project schedule.

The solicitation has a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal of zero percent, and only one response per prime provider is permitted. Firms submitting multiple responses will be deemed non-responsive. The selection process will involve a committee of local government representatives who will review, rank submissions, and notify all firms of the final selection, with the top-rated firm invited to negotiate fees. The procurement is subject to specific federal and state regulations, including 49 U.S.C. 47107(a)(17), Texas Government Code Chapter 2254, Subchapter A, and compliance requirements related to Section 889 of the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act. While no specific budget range was disclosed, the project involves comprehensive airport planning services with multiple phases including kick-off meetings, goal establishment, facility evaluations, and development plan recommendations. The project's scope suggests a significant planning engagement for improving airport infrastructure and future development strategies.
