Sylvan Beach Harvey Repair

The Texas General Land Office is seeking a qualified contractor to perform coastal construction repairs at Sylvan Beach in Chambers County, Texas, under solicitation RFP_7889-ST, with proposals due by May 26, 2026. The work entails marine construction, grading, environmental services, hauling, GIS support, and litter removal, with performance strictly limited to the specified location in Texas. This procurement is structured as a competitively sealed proposal with a best-value trade-off award basis, assigning 40% weight to cost, 25% to experience and qualifications, 25% to technical proposal, and 10% to safety, quality control, and compliance. There is no disclosed estimated contract value, and the contract type is not explicitly stated but is likely firm fixed price based on standard practice. Financial evaluation is rigorous, incorporating Altman Z-Score, liquidity, solvency, profitability, accounts receivable turnover, and inventory metrics, with unacceptable thresholds triggering disqualification. Compliance with Texas state regulations governing Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) is mandatory, requiring a minimum 1.0% subcontracting goal to certified HUBs. Offerors must submit a fully completed VetHUB Subcontracting Plan, demonstrating good faith efforts through either Method A (meeting the goal) or Method B (justifying below-target participation), and must document outreach to at least three certified HUBs and two veteran trade organizations at least seven working days before submission. Post-award obligations include notifying subcontractors within 10 working days and submitting Progress Assessment Reports for ongoing compliance. All submissions must be delivered electronically via Box™, and Texas Vendor IDs replace federal identifiers like UEI or CAGE. No federal accounting codes, invoicing systems, or packaging specifications are specified, and inspections rely on procedural adherence to state code 34 TAC §20.282 and §20.285 rather than technical standards. Primary contact for inquiries is Susan Tipton-Hines, with additional administrative support provided by Tamara Perkins and Vonda White.
