TxDOT Aviation Division- Notice to Consultants

The Texas Department of Transportation Aviation Division is seeking qualified firms to provide professional services for the development of an Airport Layout Plan (ALP) with narrative and an 18B Obstruction Survey at J.D. Trissell Field in Red River County, Texas. This Request for Qualifications (RFQ25ALCLARK00067) is issued under Texas Government Code Chapter 2254 and federal aviation guidelines, with a focus on qualifications-based selection rather than price. The scope includes preparing updated aviation demand forecasts, conducting comprehensive airfield and landside assessments, recommending short- and long-term development strategies including a Capital Improvement Program, and ensuring compliance with FAA Master Plan Advisory Circular Sections 2.0, 3.0, and 8.0. All work must be performed on-site at the airport facility, and deliverables must adhere to federal and state regulatory standards, including 49 U.S.C. §47107(a)(17) and 49 CFR Part 26, though the DBE participation goal is set at 0%. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the TxDOT eGrants system no later than March 17, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST, adhering to a strict nine-page limit for the Qualifications Statement, which must be in PDF format and exclude QR codes or external links. Evaluation of submissions will be based on four equally weighted factors: the capability and qualifications of proposed key personnel, recent experience in comparable airport planning projects, ability to meet schedules and demonstrated competence and quality, and the proposed technical approach and timeline. The selection process utilizes a trade-off method where technical merit determines the award, with price not considered in the evaluation phase; the highest-scoring respondent will be contacted for fee negotiations. Key personnel must be fully disclosed with their roles, time commitments, employment status, and specific contributions to prior projects clearly outlined. Respondents must also provide a written certification on the first page of their submission confirming they are not listed under NDAA Sections 889 or 1260H and are not owned or controlled by foreign adversaries as defined in 15 C.F.R. §791.4. No formal contract clauses from FAR Part 52 are included, nor are there any established contract options, OCI provisions, or funding details like AAC or TAS codes provided. The primary point of contact for procedural matters is Kelle Chancey, while Christian Cox serves as the
