The Cameron County Beach Access #3 Phase II project is a public‑sector construction effort to upgrade and expand beach access facilities on South Padre Island. The scope includes civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, and landscape work such as new or refurbished pedestrian pathways, ramps, restrooms, a picnic pavilion, a toll‑booth, lighting, signage, irrigation, and dune mitigation. The contract was solicited through an open RFP (No. 250501) with a pre‑proposal meeting on May 7, 2025, and a final bid deadline of May 28, 2025. After evaluating submissions, the County awarded the contract to A&I Custom Manufacturing, LLC on June 17, 2025. The solicitation required compliance with ADA, Texas state building codes, environmental protections (turtle nesting, dune mitigation), extensive insurance coverage, and the contractor’s responsibility for all permits and fees. Addenda (1 and 2) clarified documentation requirements, insurance limits, composite‑decking fastener specifications, and added supplemental drawing pages.
