TxDOT Aviation Division- Notice to Consultants

The Texas Department of Transportation Aviation Division has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ25ALHMTLN00087) for professional services related to the Hamilton Municipal Airport project, seeking qualified firms to develop an Airport Layout Plan (ALP) with narrative and an 18B Obstruction Survey compliant with FAA guidelines. The solicitation is issued under Texas Government Code Chapter 2254 and federal aviation regulations, with the project sponsor being the City of Hamilton through TxDOT. Responses must be submitted electronically via the TxDOT eGrants system by March 25, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST, and must include a Qualifications Statement limited to nine single-sided 8.5 x 11-inch pages in PDF format, with no QR codes, hyperlinks, or fonts smaller than 10-point. The evaluation is based on four equally weighted technical factors—capability of the firm and key personnel, relevant recent project experience, ability to meet deadlines with proven performance, and the proposed technical approach and schedule—each worth 25 points, for a total of 100 points. Award will be made to the highest-scoring offeror based on technical merit, with no evaluation of price or cost. The place of performance is Hamilton Municipal Airport in Hamilton, Texas, and all work must adhere to FAA Master Plan Advisory Circulars and TxDOT Standard Operating Procedures 2.0, 3.0, and 8.0. Respondents must comply with federal requirements including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and 49 CFR Part 26, though the DBE participation goal is set at 0%. A critical certification is required affirming the firm is not owned or controlled by a foreign adversary government as defined under 15 C.F.R. §791.4 or listed under Sections 889 and 1260H of the National Defense Authorization Acts. No CAGE code, UEI, or socioeconomic certifications are required, nor is any pricing or contract value disclosed, as this is a qualifications-based procurement. Technical inquiries should be directed to Sean Newton, while administrative questions require contact with Debra Woodruff via email or phone. All submissions must be uploaded as uneditable PDFs through the regulated eGrants portal, with firms required to have an active account prior to submission. Failure to meet format, submission, or certification requirements renders responses non-responsive. There are no FOB or delivery
