Professional Services - Engineering/Surveying IDIQ

East Texas A&M University is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Professional Engineering and Surveying Services contract. The solicitation seeks to establish a pool of qualified firms to provide comprehensive engineering and surveying services for university-managed construction projects, with potential utilization by other higher education institutions. Required services encompass pre-construction, procurement, and construction phase support, including design review, plan checking, schedule analysis, bid evaluation, construction logistics coordination, quality inspections, and project close-out procedures. The initial contract term is three years, with potential for two one-year renewals based on mutual agreement. Qualification responses are due by 3:00 PM Central Time on October 30, 2025, with firms expected to demonstrate expertise in higher education construction projects. Respondents must submit detailed qualifications including firm history, key personnel resumes, past project references, and a comprehensive approach to project delivery. The university will select firms based on demonstrated competence, knowledge, and qualifications to create a flexible pool of engineering service providers.

The RFQ includes a 24% Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) participation goal, indicating a strong emphasis on supporting diverse and small business enterprise involvement. Respondents must provide a HUB participation plan detailing how they will meet or exceed this target. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the IDIQ contract structure suggests a potentially significant opportunity for selected firms, with the ability to provide services across multiple higher education construction projects. The solicitation appears open to engineering and surveying firms with proven track records in institutional construction, with no explicit restrictions on firm size or type beyond the HUB participation requirement. The multi-year contract structure and potential for inter-institutional use suggest a comprehensive and flexible approach to procuring professional engineering services. Firms interested in responding should carefully review the full RFQ documentation and prepare comprehensive qualifications that highlight their technical expertise, past performance, and commitment to diverse business participation.
