The City of Fort Worth is currently seeking proposals from qualified firms or individuals with horizontal and vertical public works experience to finalize an exclusive agreement to provide professional services in developing and administering a Small Contractor Development Program (SCDP).
The SCDP is intended to strengthen the capacity, competitiveness and performance of small, local, new and emerging businesses within Tarrant, Denton, Johnson, Parker and Wise counties. These businesses would help deliver water, transportation and other public works projects for the City.
The City invests $600 million annually in water and sewer infrastructure, street and stormwater improvements and other public works construction. However, small contractors often face challenges related to bonding, insurance, technical expertise and bidding processes that limit their participation.
The SCDP aims to:
- Provide training, mentorship and technical assistance.
- Support firms in understanding Texas-specific contracting requirements with Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) and Fort Worth’s contracting requirements as well as the new Small Business Development Program.
- Identify and make recommendations regarding access to bonding, financing and compliance resources.
- Identify additional “best value” subcontracting and prime contracting opportunities on municipal capital improvement projects for SCDP cohort member participation.
Proposals will be accepted starting today through Jan. 29, 2026. View the project opportunity. Find additional information about the procurement process.
