Indian Point Causeway Shoreline Protection

The Texas General Land Office is seeking a qualified contractor to perform coastal construction work at Indian Point Pier southwest of Portland, Texas, along HWY 181 in San Patricio County. The project involves adding 5,510 cubic yards of beach fill along approximately 1,300 linear feet of existing rock breakwater to create a living shoreline that mitigates erosion, wave action, and storm surge impacts. This effort is designed to safeguard the natural ecological resources in the area, including submerged aquatic vegetation, oyster beds, and critical bird habitat within Indian Point Park on Corpus Christi Bay. The breakwater system will enhance shoreline resilience while supporting long-term environmental stability in the region. The solicitation, identified as RFP_8652, was posted on July 17, 2026, with responses due by August 27, 2026. The contract falls under state and local government procurement and is managed by the Texas General Land Office. The place of performance is located in Texas, and all inquiries should be directed to Susan Tipton-Hines, the primary point of contact, via email or phone provided. Interested parties can access additional details through the Texas SmartBuy portal, and the work must comply with all technical and environmental requirements to ensure the integrity of the living shoreline and surrounding ecosystems.
