Project Overview
At the discretion of the GLO and upon issuance of one or more Work Orders, the selected
Provider(s) will perform, or cause to be performed, comprehensive engineering services to
support the GLO in its duties to construct, repair, or rebuild property or infrastructure in
support of the GLO's administration of long-term disaster recovery and mitigation
missions in Texas to be funded though Community Development Block Grants for Disaster
Recovery (CDBG-DR), and/or Mitigation (CDBG-MIT), or related allocations. Selected
Providers will be required to implement these services in compliance with all applicable
federal, state, and local laws, ordinances and regulations which include, but are not limited
to, the C.F.R., HUD requirements, and any specific requirements properly imposed by the
GLO. Services will be more specifically issued in Work Orders.
Respondent must demonstrate the ability to perform or cause to be performed all of the
services listed herein to be considered eligible for award under this Solicitation.
Respondent should provide a detailed narrative of its experience in its SOQ as relates to
each of the services and clearly indicate if it intends to provide these services in house with
existing staff or through subcontracting or partnership arrangements.
Provider shall deliver the engineering services to areas of the State declared by the governor
or President of the United States under law to be disaster areas. To limit travel expense, the
GLO requests that Respondents have the capability to staff field offices located in the areas
impacted by Disasters, with some staff located in the Austin, Texas area. The GLO may
require a selected Provider's Austin staff members to embed at GLO or federal funding
agency offices. Some travel to Austin, Texas, may be required for field staff. Expenses for
travel outside the State of Texas will not be reimbursed and such expenses may not be
included in hourly rates or other fees. Provider is required to have the ability to quickly
mobilize staff in the event of a Disaster. Mandatory weekly meetings may require some
senior staff to participate by conference call if they are located outside of the Austin area.
Any of Provider's staff embedded in GLO offices will participate in a GLO orientation
session and shall be subject to a state and federal background check. CONTRACT AND TERM
