Item Summary
The John T. Montford Dam is located in Kent and Garza counties approximately 60 miles southeast of the City of Lubbock. The dam impounds Lake Alan Henry, which is one of the City's water supply sources. The City has owned the dam since August 2005, when ownership of the project was transferred to the City. Erosion along the downstream slope of the dam has been a challenge since the dam was constructed. The City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to evaluate alternatives for reducing erosion, and operation and maintenance costs for the dam.
In response to RFQ 24-18191-TF, five engineering firms submitted proposals which were evaluated and ranked based on the following criteria: 30 points for project team organization and qualifications, 30 points for experience on similar projects, 35 points for project approach, and 5 points for overall responsiveness to the RFQ.
