TxDOT Aviation Division- Notice to Consultants

TxDOT Aviation Division is soliciting Statements of Qualifications on behalf of the City of Floydada, Texas, for an Airport Layout Plan Update with Narrative and an 18B Obstruction Survey, with responses due December 9, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. CST through the TxDOT Aviation eGrants system. The solicitation carries a 0% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise goal, so it imposes no set-aside. Firms must certify in writing that they are not listed under Section 889 of the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act or Section 1260H of the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, and that they are not owned or controlled by foreign adversaries.

The scope covers multiple airport planning phases, from kick-off and strategic planning through airport role and planning standards, facility and land use alternatives evaluation, and development of the Airport Layout Plan and related documents. The work must follow FAA Master Plan Advisory Circular standards. The Qualifications Statement is limited to nine single-sided 8.5x11-inch pages and must include firm information, project understanding, technical approach, relevant general aviation airport planning experience from the last ten years with references, and a proposed schedule stating the number of weeks needed for completion.

Selection rests on four criteria, each weighted at 25 points: capability and key personnel qualifications; recent comparable experience within the last ten years; ability to meet schedules with a reputation for competence and quality; and technical approach and schedule appropriateness. A selection committee of local government representatives will score submissions. The top-rated firm moves to fee negotiation, and the committee may interview top-rated firms before final selection. The selected firm receives a draft professional services agreement to begin fee negotiations.

Technical questions go to TxDOT Project Manager Yessica Nunez, procedural questions to Contract Specialist Debra Woodruff, and eGrants questions to the TxDOT Aviation help desk at 1-800-687-4568 or avn-egrantshelp@txdot.gov. The notice was posted November 6, 2026.
