Outside Counsel Legal Services

The Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) under solicitation number 25-154 for on-call Outside Counsel Legal Services. The district seeks qualified law firms to provide specialized legal expertise in areas including water law, construction law, real estate, environmental law, contract and procurement, tax exempt and taxable bond matters, general litigation, and open government requirements. Selected firms will be placed on an approved list to provide services as needs arise, with specific assignments governed by individual Letters of Engagement. This is a qualifications-based selection process; consequently, firms are strictly prohibited from including any fee estimates, billing rates, or pricing information within their submissions. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov Procurement Website by August 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM CT. Required documentation includes the SOQ proposal, a signed Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, and Form 1295 Certificate of Interested Parties. Evaluation is based on a weighted scoring system focusing on experience with TRWD or similar entities (60%), office locations and resources (25%), references (10%), and submittal completeness (5%). Firms must identify primary attorneys who will perform the majority of the work and disclose any current or past representations adverse to TRWD. All submissions are subject to the Texas Public Information Act, and firms must clearly mark any proprietary information.
