This document is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for professional architectural and engineering (A/E) design services for two state hospital construction projects in Texas. Project 1 is for a 200-bed replacement hospital at the North Texas State Hospital campus in Wichita Falls, and Project 2 is for a new 75-bed state hospital in Amarillo. The total construction cost is estimated at $300 million for Project 1 and $100 million for Project 2. The RFQ outlines the scope of services, including programming, design, furniture/fixtures/equipment design, and construction administration. Mandatory pre-submittal webinars are scheduled for September 5th and 6th, 2023, and the deadline for submitting qualifications is September 20th, 2023. Respondent interviews are planned for October 16th, 2023, and the anticipated notice of award is November 9th, 2023.

The RFQ does not provide specific pricing terms or set-aside requirements. It states that the costs and fees associated with the A/E services are not included in the construction cost estimates. The projects are funded through the appropriations made by the 88th Texas Legislature for the design and construction of these state hospital facilities.
