This document is a Construction Manager-at-Risk (CMAR) Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the Texas Tech University System for the TTUHSC Laboratory Animal Resources Center (LARC) Expansion project, identified as FP&C Project #22-07. The project scope is to expand the existing LARC space to meet future research needs, creating a new barrier animal facility adjacent to the existing LARC. The project has an estimated construction budget of $10-$11 million and an overall project budget of $15 million. Responses to the RFQ are due by 3:00 PM on March 9, 2023, to be submitted through the e-Builder Bid Portal. A pre-response meeting will be held on February 21, 2023, and the Texas Tech University System plans to select a CMAR firm by April 20, 2023.

The RFQ outlines the minimum required CMAR services, including pre-construction services such as cost estimation, constructability reviews, and schedule development, as well as construction phase and post-construction services. Respondents must submit information on their firm's experience, project team, pre-construction approach, HUB subcontracting plan, safety program, and other relevant details. The selection will be based on the qualifications of the proposed project team, the firm's relevant experience, schedule management, quality assurance, and HUB participation commitment, among other criteria. The successful CMAR firm will be required to provide a 5% security/bid bond.
