Project Description

• 2026 - CJ001 RFQ for County Jail Evaluation Project ▲

  Jim Wells County, Texas (the “County”) is soliciting Requests for Qualifications (“RFQ”) from qualified firms and Teams to provide professional consulting services for a comprehensive County jail evaluation project. The County owns and operates the Jim Wells County Jail, which may be approaching the practical limits of its capacity and its ability to meet current operational requirements, and the County wishes to understand and evaluate its options for responsibly resolving these jail-capacity and operational issues.

  The selected firm or Team will evaluate the current condition, capabilities, and shortfalls of the County’s existing jail, assist with projecting current and future detention needs, and develop and evaluate alternatives to resolve the County’s capacity and operational issues. The scope of services may include, but is not limited to, an assessment of the current jail, building program development of potential alternatives to resolve the jail’s issues, pro forma development, and
  
  procurement advisory. The alternative options for the jail may include renovating and repairing the existing jail to bring it into compliance with applicable operational standards, expanding the existing facility to add bed and operational capacity, or constructing a new jail facility sized to accommodate current capacity and future growth. For each option, the Team will identify the associated costs and benefits to the county.

  This RFQ is issued as a qualifications-based procurement of professional services in accordance with Chapter 2254 of the Texas Government Code. Accordingly, selection will be based on demonstrated competence and qualifications, and fees will not be solicited or considered as part of this RFQ. A response may be submitted by a single firm or by a Team of firms working together to provide the full scope of services.

  Statements of Qualifications will be received until:
  
  Wednesday, August 19, 2026 @4:00PM
  
  Late submissions will not be accepted.

  Please submit five (5) copies and a thumb drive with your Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) to
  
  the following address:
