RFQ 2026-Q02 Professional Engineering Services Pool

Hays County, Texas (“County”) is issuing this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to develop a pool of engineering firms from which to choose to provide engineering design, review, coordination, administration, consultation, and general engineering expertise on an as-needed basis. As individual projects requiring engineering expertise are developed, Hays County Department Directors or Elected Officials, or the Commissioners Court, will choose from this pool of pre-qualified engineering firms. The chosen firm will then negotiate a professional services agreement with Hays County to perform the required duties, which must be accepted and approved via Commissioners Court. Engineering services could include federally funded, state funded and locally funded projects.

The County intends to use this RFQ process to assist the County in efficiently selecting qualified professionals. Any entity may submit a response to this RFQ provided it is qualified to perform the scope of services described herein.

Be advised, the creation of a pool with a final “pre-qualification” list shall not be deemed as creating any type of contractual expectancy for the award of any contracts on the part of the County. The list is being assembled for the purpose of ensuring that the County has the ability to quickly negotiate contracts with competent and qualified entities in an efficient manner when upcoming projects are deemed necessary to proceed.
