Procurement information

How Texas automotive work gets procured.

The common contracting vehicles for automotive engineering and construction in Texas. Match your scope, schedule, and risk profile to the vehicle before issuing an RFQ.

Texas agency RFP / RFQ

Public-sector automotive scopes are typically procured through Texas agency RFP or RFQ vehicles, with pre-qualification and SBE/DBE participation requirements.

Federal IDIQ vehicles

Federally funded automotive programs (DOE, DOT, USACE, EPA) are commonly executed under IDIQ contracts with task-order pricing on Texas sites.

Master Service Agreements

Operators in Texas engage engineering and EPC firms under multi-year MSAs covering capital, sustaining, and emergency response automotive scopes.

EPC and EPCM

Greenfield and major brownfield automotive projects in Texas are routinely delivered under lump-sum EPC or reimbursable EPCM contracts with a single integrated team.

Owner's engineer

Owners retain independent automotive P.E.s in Texas for design review, constructability, schedule and cost validation, and on-site representation through commissioning.

Direct P.E. engagement

Smaller Texas automotive scopes — feasibility, study, peer review, expert testimony — are engaged directly with a licensed P.E. on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis.

Typical fee range

$automotive engineering fees in Texas typically run 4–10% of TIC for greenfield work and 8–15% for brownfield/modernization scopes.

Lead time

Expect 2–6 weeks from RFQ to a signed engagement for well-scoped Texas automotive work; complex EPC awards typically run 8–16 weeks.

Compliance

Texas requires P.E. licensure on sealed deliverables; firms must hold a Texas Certificate of Authorization where applicable.
