This is an on-call arrangement with no guaranteed work volume, intended to establish a pool of qualified vendors to support the Environmental Services Department through task orders for services such as Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, contaminated soil and groundwater remediation, stormwater management including MS4 compliance, and regulatory coordination with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The contract is structured for a one-year initial term with automatic one-year renewals up to four additional years unless terminated with 90 days’ written notice, and payment obligations are contingent upon annual city appropriations.

The evaluation process is a best-value trade-off, weighing company experience, personnel qualifications, small business participation, capacity and responsiveness, and project methodology, with a strong emphasis on achieving at least 30% small business subcontracting by certified firms located in Tarrant, Parker, Denton, Johnson, or Wise Counties. Vendors must employ or have access to team members holding Texas-licensed Professional Engineer and Professional Geologist credentials, TCEQ CAS and CAPM certifications, and HAZWOPER-trained field personnel.
