HWT Contractor Enrollment - General Areas of Interest and Instructions for Enrollment.

The Northeast Water Purification Plant (NEWPP) expansion project will be divided into multiple contract packages by the Houston Waterworks Team (HWT), a joint venture of CH2M Hill and CDM Smith, the Design-Builder. HWT is looking to gather preliminary information from each contractor interested in participating in the construction of this new project utilizing the project procurement website’s enrollment link.

HWT is committed to promoting opportunities for MWSBEs to become Tier 1 contractors on several contract packages and/or as Tier 2 sub-contractors for other Tier 1 contracting opportunities. Multiple opportunities will open as the contract package procurement progresses.

HWT’s procurement process to select Tier 1 vendors will begin in Q2 2017 with a pre-qualification step, followed by a two-step qualifications based short-listing and a final Competitive Sealed Proposal for each major contract package.
