Val Verde Seeks Contractors to Replace Comstock Water Tank
Val Verde County posted a solicitation for contractors to replace a ground storage tank in Comstock as part of the TxCDBG CFC24 0012 Comstock Colonia infrastructure project, with bids due Tuesday, December 2, 2025. The procurement provides public access to bid packets, engineering plans, and published addenda, a move that matters for project transparency and local oversight ahead of construction affecting water infrastructure in the colonia.
Val Verde County issued a formal request for bids on November 7, 2025 to replace a ground storage tank in Comstock under the TxCDBG CFC24 0012 Comstock Colonia infrastructure work, listed as Bid 25 83. The county posted the solicitation online and included the bid packet, bid forms, project specifications, engineering plans, and two published addenda. A county NewsFlash entry referencing the posting appeared November 12, 2025.
Bidders must submit proposals by 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, December 2, 2025 at 509 E. Gibbs Street, Del Rio, Texas. The county will publicly open and read bids at 2:15 p.m. that day. The county bid portal hosts the project documents and a question and answer resource for prospective contractors. Addendum No. 1 and Addendum No. 2 were posted alongside the other materials, and the packet and plans are available for download.
The project is part of the colonia infrastructure work funded through the Texas Community Development Block Grant program and targets a ground storage tank that serves the Comstock area. For residents and local officials, the procurement is a key step toward completing improvements that are connected to ongoing colonia investments in utilities and public services. The public bid opening and online availability of engineering plans and addenda allow for community oversight and for contractors to verify scope, schedule and compliance requirements before submitting proposals.
The coming bid deadline places a short window on contractor preparation, as the solicitation was posted prior to Thanksgiving and the submission date falls in early December. Contractors and interested parties should consult the county bid portal for the full packet and the Q and A resource to ensure proposals reflect published addenda and project specifications.
By making documents and a public opening part of the process, county officials provide transparency in awarding work that will affect Comstock infrastructure. Local residents will want to follow the award and subsequent construction milestones to assess timelines and potential impacts on water storage and service in the colonia.
