Riviera Texas Boat Storage Space Lease

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is seeking a lease for one enclosed boat storage space of approximately 5,075 square feet located within or near Riviera, Texas, to enable rapid emergency response operations along the Gulf of Mexico in Kleberg County. The facility must feature an open floor plan with a minimum height of 14 feet, dimensions of roughly 145 feet by 35 feet, and at least ten garage-style roll-up doors each measuring 14 feet high by 20 feet wide. The space must include concrete flooring capable of supporting heavy vehicles and equipment, an all-weather driveway and apron, a freshwater hose bib nearby, secure gated access with 24/7 availability, on-site restrooms accessible around the clock, and dusk-to-dawn outdoor lighting. The lessor is responsible for all monthly electric and water utility bills, door maintenance, and must respond to emergency calls within two hours and non-emergency requests by the next business day. The lease term is twelve months, beginning September 1, 2026, or upon award, whichever is later, and may be renewed for up to four additional one-year periods by mutual agreement, with renewal requests required at least 60 days before the current term ends. The solicitation, identified as 802-26-788101 and posted on June 9, 2026, requires responses by 2:00 p.m. CST on June 23, 2026, and is governed by Texas state procurement laws. Only entities that directly own or control the property are eligible to bid, and submissions must be signed, dated, and delivered via email, mail, or hand delivery in a sealed envelope clearly marked with the solicitation number and deadline. Late bids are strictly rejected. The award will be made based on best value, with price as a primary factor but also weighing the respondent’s ability, experience, delivery schedule, location proximity, and past performance—where a Vendor Performance System score below 90% results in automatic disqualification. TPWD reserves the right to conduct site inspections and may reject proposals due to neighborhood crime rates or adverse building conditions. The lessor must maintain commercial general liability insurance totaling $1 million in aggregate, with $500,000 per occurrence, along with workers’ compensation and other specified coverages, all from Texas-licensed carriers with an “A” A.M.
