RFQ2026-002 New Jail

San Patricio County, Texas publishes this Request for Qualifications and seeks statements of qualifications from interested design-build firms for the design and construction of a proposed New County Jail. This will be a two-step process.

In the first step, the County will accept statements of qualifications from all interested firms. Based on the selection criteria contained in this RFQ, the County will evaluate the firms and qualify no more than five firms to submit proposals for the design and construction of the Project. No cost related or price-related information may be submitted with the responses to this RFQ.

In the second step, the County will accept proposals from the qualified firms and rank the offerors. The proposals should include information requested by the County in this RFQ’s

selection criteria section. Any additional information the offerors wish to provide may be considered by the County but will not affect the scoring of the offeror unless such information is responsive to the information sought in the selection criteria. After receipt of the proposals, the County may interview each offeror. Following receipt of the proposals and any interviews, the County will rank the offerors based on the selection criteria to determine which offeror provides the best value to the County. It is the County’s intent to enter into a design-build agreement with the highest ranked offeror.
