This is a competitive sealed Request for Proposal (RFP-26-011) issued by the Texas A&M Forest Service Purchasing Department seeking proposals from general contractors for the construction of an office building and associated site improvements at 428 NE Stallings Drive, Nacogdoches, Texas 75961. The scope of work encompasses all materials, labor, tools, and incidentals necessary to construct the buildings and make site improvements in accordance with provided drawings, specifications, and pricing schedules. A mandatory on-site pre-bid conference will be held on March 6, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time, with a written question deadline of March 17, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Central Time, and responses issued by addendum no later than March 25, 2026. Sealed proposals must be submitted via email to bids@tfs.tamu.edu by 4:00 p.m. Central Time on March 31, 2026, with contract award anticipated for mid-April 2026 and execution expected in late April to early May 2026. Evaluation will be based on competitive sealed bidding with awards made to the proposal representing the best value to the agency, with scoring criteria including: experience, certifications, qualifications, and financial standing (15 points); pricing (50 points); past performance with similar Texas A&M System projects (10 points); understanding of project scope and ability to meet deadlines (15 points); quality control and safety (5 points); and references (5 points). Required submission documentation includes executed offers, civil rights affirmative action compliance programs, drug-free workplace policies, completed questionnaires, executive overviews, statements of qualifications, minimum three verifiable references, and pricing schedules in Excel format, with monthly progress-based payment within thirty days of receipt of uncontested invoices.

All proposals exceeding $100,000 must include a completed State of Texas HUB Subcontracting Plan demonstrating good faith efforts to utilize service-disabled veteran-owned businesses certified as VetHUBs, establishing a set-aside preference for disadvantaged enterprises in this procurement. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the RFP documentation. Proposers should note that Texas A&M Forest Service is exempt from state and local sales and use taxes, and taxes should not be included in quoted prices. The RFP is subject to Texas Public Information Act disclosure requirements following contract award. While no specific budget range or award value is listed in the available documentation, the requirement for HUB Subcontracting Plans on proposals exceeding $100,000 suggests the total project value may exceed that threshold.
