Val Verde County posted a formal invitation to bid on November 12 for the installation of two booster pumps serving the San Felipe Pastures Colonia in Del Rio. The notice, listed as Bid 25 80 slash TxCDBG CFC24 0012, ties the project to Texas Community Development Block Grant funding directed at colonia infrastructure improvements. Bidders were invited to submit proposals to the county until 2 00 p m on Tuesday December 2 2025 at 509 E. Gibbs Street in Del Rio. Submitted bids will be publicly opened and read at 2 15 p m that same day.
The solicitation signals a targeted investment in basic water system capacity for one of Del Rio s colonias. Booster pumps are a common, practical measure to raise water pressure and stabilize distribution for households that face inconsistent delivery. For residents of San Felipe Pastures, the project could mean more reliable household water service and improved conditions for daily living. County procurement through the Texas Community Development Block Grant program also underscores the role of state administered federal resources in addressing infrastructure gaps in low income communities.
Procurement documents and any addenda are available through the county s Bid Postings page, allowing contractors to review specifications, timelines and compliance requirements before submitting proposals. The public opening of bids is part of the county s transparency and competitive contracting process. Local contractors with experience in water system work and firms from the broader Borderland region may be expected to respond before the December 2 deadline.
Beyond the immediate technical upgrade, the project fits into broader efforts by local officials to channel grant funding into tangible improvements for colonias, where access to reliable water and sanitation infrastructure has long been a priority. For residents and contractors alike, the coming weeks will determine which firm is selected to carry out the installation and how quickly the booster pumps can be brought online to benefit the San Felipe Pastures community.
