The City of Alvarado is seeking Requests for Qualifications (RFQs) from experienced, multidisciplinary firms capable of providing both comprehensive professional design services and grant administration support. The selected firm shall be led by a licensed landscape architect and supported by civil, electrical, and structural engineers to deliver design services for the development of approximately 4.42 acres of public parkland known as Pecan Orchard, while also administering the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) Non-Urban Recreation Grant.
Grant administration services shall include coordination from the design phase through project completion, ensuring compliance with all TPWD requirements, managing reimbursement processes, preparing and submitting required reports, supporting audit activities, and facilitating grant close-out.
This project will support the City’s vision for a multi-functional, event-ready park that incorporates civic and recreational amenities, resilient infrastructure, and floodplain-sensitive design. The site is located within a floodplain and will require careful integration of bridges, gathering structures, flood-tolerant surfaces, and utility infrastructure to ensure both functionality and long-term sustainability.
