Val Verde County seeks bids for new water well at sports complex
Val Verde County asked contractors to bid on a new well for the Robert Bob Chavira Sports Complex, a water fix meant to support fields, upkeep and public use.
Val Verde County asked contractors to bid on a new water well at the Robert “Bob” Chavira Sports Complex, a project aimed at keeping the Del Rio facility watered, maintained and usable for youth sports and family recreation. The county’s RFP 26-92 called for a well with a pressure tank and pressure system, and it set July 9, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. CST as the deadline for proposals.
The bid was directed to Melissa Vasquez, purchasing agent for the Val Verde County Purchasing Department, at 509 E. Gibbs Street in Del Rio, Texas 78840. A public notice for the request was posted on June 19, 2026, and the filing date on the county’s bid page was June 18, 2026. Addendum No. 2 later changed the pump flow rate, showing the county was still adjusting technical specifications as the procurement moved forward.
The new well fits into a broader build-out at the Robert “Bob” Chavira Sports Complex. Earlier county postings in 2026 included BID 26-89 for a concrete parking lot and BID 26-90 for concrete material for that parking lot. The BID 26-89 notice said Val Verde County and San Felipe Del Rio CISD would supply materials for the parking lot project, tying the complex to both county and school district involvement.
The county had already taken earlier steps on the site. In 2024, Val Verde County sought an environmental assessment for the Bob Chavira Val Verde Sports Complex under U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development Economic Development Initiative Community Project Funding B-24-CP-TX-2120. County leaders also held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Robert “Bob” Chavira Sports Complex on December 16, 2025, underscoring that the facility has been moving through multiple phases of public work.
For residents watching how county dollars are spent, the well project is more than a procurement notice. A reliable water system affects field conditions, groundskeeping and the ability to host practices, games and community events at one of Del Rio’s public recreation sites.
