The Texas A&M University System RFQ-05-3380 – Request for Qualifications

Prairie View A&M University Teaching and Academic Student Support Services Facility

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 Prairie View A&M University are soliciting statements of qualifications for selection of an Architect/Engineer (A/E) firm for the Teaching and Academic Student Support Services Facility project (#05-3380) in Prairie View, Texas, in accordance with the terms, conditions, and requirements set forth in this Request for Qualifications (RFQ).

Creating a new Teaching and Academic Support Services building will develop a community hub that puts student success at a central and strategic location on campus and represents the future of student services on the Prairie View A&M campus. The existing student support services are currently spread across campus, making it difficult for students to receive a holistic and interdepartmental experience. The move to one building will open spaces in multiple buildings to be repurposed for other needs on campus. Within the project's scope, all vacated spaces will receive some level of cosmetic upgrades as the existing program moves elsewhere, except for the spaces vacated by Undergraduate Studies in the AI Thomas Building. The project will be constructed on the western edge of the main drive (LW Minor Street) in an already existing student services hub for the campus. The scope of work outlined within the Program of Requirements is intended to document the need for a flexible and adaptable student-focused building that pushes the envelope for teaching and student support.

The Planning Amount for this project is $44,922,833. The Planning Amount includes an Amount Available for Construction Contract (AACC) of $33,750,000. Fees, furnishings, other work, miscellaneous expenses, and contingencies make up the balance of the Planning Amount.

This RFQ is the first step in the process for selecting an A/E firm. The RFQ provides the information necessary to prepare and submit Qualifications for consideration by the Owner.
