Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Architectural and Engineering Services

This state and local contracting opportunity is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by SSC Service Solutions on behalf of West Texas A&M University (WTAMU) located in Canyon, Texas. The RFQ seeks qualifications from Architectural and Engineering (A/E) firms interested in preparing construction documents to design and construct two new residential houses at different agricultural sites on university properties in Randall County, Texas. The project involves demolishing an existing house and building a replacement at one site, as well as constructing a new house at a second site. The RFQ outlines the technical requirements for the houses, including size, layout, features, and aesthetic specifications. Key dates include the RFQ advertisement on August 28, 2023, qualifications submission by September 5, 2023, A/E award on September 29, 2023, drawing submittal on October 13, 2023, and construction start on November 13, 2023. The evaluation criteria focus on the A/E firm's history, ability to meet the schedule, competence, qualifications, and the competency of the individuals directly responsible for the project.

The RFQ indicates that subcontracting opportunities are probable, and respondents must submit a HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) Subcontracting Plan as part of their qualifications. No information is provided on set-asides, incumbents, funding sources, or award values, though the project has an estimated budget of $700,000. The selected A/E firm will be required to utilize the Owner's eBuilder documentation and project management system.
