The Texas A&M University System RFQ-04-3425– Request for Qualifications

Agricultural Sciences Building Tarleton State University

Stephenville, Texas

The Texas A&M University System Office of Facilities Planning & Construction (FP&C) on behalf of the Board of Regents of The Texas A&M University System (Owner) and Tarleton State University are soliciting statements of qualifications for selection of an Architect/Engineer (A/E) firm for the Agricultural Sciences Building project (#04- 3425) for Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas, in accordance with the terms, conditions, and requirements set forth in this Request for Qualifications (RFQ).

The new four-story Agricultural Sciences Building will house updated laboratory, teaching, student, and administrative spaces for the Tarleton campus, including the four departments of the College of Agriculture & Natural Resources (COANR). The four departments of COANR include: Department of Animal Science; Department of Wildlife & Natural Resources; Department of Agricultural Education & Communication; Department of Agribusiness.

The facility will have a total of 113,500 Gross Square Feet (GSF), including 100,500 Priority 1 GSF and 13,000 Priority 2 GSF. The new building is proposed to be predominantly four floors, with heavy traffic and classrooms on the first floor. Offices, smaller classrooms, teaching labs and research labs will be located on the upper floors. Situated on the south edge of campus directly across Texan Trace from the recent Engineering Building, the building will occupy a prominent central gateway location. The site for the new building is at Washington Street and N. Lillian in the current P36 surface lot, as well as the area to be vacated by demolished Ferguson Hall, Bender Hall, and the supporting site structures. It is anticipated that all COANR functions will vacate the Joe W. Autry Building for the new Agricultural Sciences Building. This project will not demolish the existing building, and renovations have been ongoing, though the University has not formally identified what functions will be accommodated in the existing space.

The Planning Amount for this project is $100,000,000. The Planning Amount includes an Amount Available for Construction Contract (AACC) of $74,700,000. Fees, furnishings, other work, miscellaneous expenses, and contingencies make up the balance of the Planning Amount.
