About this file
This document is a Questions & Answers addendum for Texas A&M University-Texarkana's Request for Proposals (RFP Number TAMUT-RFP-0898_122024) for the Eagle Landing Phase II Student Housing project. The project requires the construction or provision of at least 10 residential units capable of accommodating 2-4 students per bedroom, with either 2-bedroom or 4-bedroom configurations. The university is seeking a complete turn-key solution including site engineering, pad preparation, utility design and installation, and buildings. The submission deadline has been extended to January 17, 2025, at 4:00 PM CST, with units required to be move-in ready by July 31, 2025. The contract term is for one year with four one-year renewal options.
The project is structured as an outright purchase rather than a lease arrangement, with Quality Container Builders identified as the Phase I contractor. TAMUT will handle tree clearing and provide furniture for the units, with existing parking lots available for use. While no specific budget is mentioned, contractors may submit multiple alternative proposals with varying building types (new or used) and installation methods. A HUB Subcontracting plan is required without a specific percentage requirement. The university indicates potential for expansion to Phase III, suggesting opportunity for a long-term partnership. Additional construction plans from Phase I have been provided as separate files to assist with utility locations and topographical data.
