Mason County Hazard Mitigation Plan Update

Mason County, Texas, issued solicitation 26-030-MA to secure professional consulting services for a FEMA-approvable Hazard Mitigation Plan update benefiting Mason County, the City of Mason, and the Mason Independent School District. The project, with an estimated budget between 65,000 and 85,000 dollars, requires the consultant to lead all coordination, risk and vulnerability assessments, and GIS mapping to ensure the final plan meets 44 CFR Part 201.6 and Texas Division of Emergency Management guidance. Key deliverables include a project kickoff meeting, at least three local planning team meetings, and three planning workshops, culminating in formal FEMA approval and adoption by the participating jurisdictions. The selection process is based on a weighted evaluation where the technical proposal accounts for 75 points—focusing on relevant experience, project methodology, team qualifications, and public engagement strategies—and the price proposal accounts for 15 points. Qualified firms must demonstrate a record of obtaining FEMA approvals and familiarity with Texas jurisdictions. As the project is grant-funded, the contract is subject to 2 CFR Part 200 and various federal and state regulations, including the Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment and the Texas Public Information Act. Proposals must be submitted as separate technical and price PDF documents, with a maximum technical length of 25 pages, to Ally Yonker by October 30, 2026.
