TxDOT Aviation Division- Notice to Consultants

The Texas Department of Transportation Aviation Division is requesting quotations for architectural and engineering services in support of gate rehabilitation and expansion projects at various TxDOT-operated airports, with quotations due October 1, 2026.

The scope encompasses site assessments, preliminary design development, final design documents, specifications, and construction administration services for terminal gate modifications across multiple facilities. Consultants must conduct site visits to review project sites and clarify requirements prior to proposal submission.

TxDOT will evaluate and select qualified firms; the contract structure accommodates time-and-materials or fixed-fee pricing depending on project phase and consultant proposal methodology. The contract term spans design and engineering services through project completion, with potential for additional phases or renewal options based on performance and future aviation facility needs. Funding derives from TxDOT's Aviation Division budget and may include federal funding through FAA grants or state aviation improvement programs.

Small business and minority-owned business enterprise (MBE) participation is encouraged but not mandated as a set-aside. All qualified firms are invited to compete; incumbent consultant status does not confer automatic preference. TxDOT retains the right to negotiate final contract terms with selected consultants prior to formal award.

Current airport operations and passenger traffic patterns are identified as critical factors affecting design constraints and project scheduling requirements.
