Solicitation Background
Galveston Island State Park was destroyed by Hurricane Ike in September 2008. In an effort to restore the park for public use, TPWD has been allocated funds from the recent legislative session for the redevelopment of Galveston Island State Park to include the development of a Master Plan which will direct the overall programming and location of all park facilities. Although funds for completion of construction services have not been appropriated at this time, it is TPWD’s intention upon appropriation of construction funding to incorporate a multi-phased construction approach including an initial phase of construction which will allow park visitors daily recreational use of appropriate amenities within the Park’s infrastructure. The completed phase of the construction project will restore Galveston Island State Park to a fully functional park with overnight camping capabilities.
The goal of the solicitation is to award a Professional Design Services contract to the most qualified firm to provide design and master planning services for the subject project in accordance with Government Code Chapter 2254.
We appreciate your interest in the upcoming Galveston Island State Park Redevelopment project with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
