The Texas State University System, on behalf of Sam Houston State University, is soliciting Statements of Qualifications and Pricing and Delivery Proposals for the selection of a Construction Manager-at-Risk (CMR) firm for the Active Learning Center project on the Sam Houston State University campus in Huntsville, Texas. The project involves the demolition of the existing Academic Building III and the construction of a new 38,732 gross square foot hybrid one-story and two-story facility that will include instructional spaces, student spaces, and office space. The Owner is requiring that the qualifications, proposals, and HUB Commitment Letter be submitted simultaneously but in separate sealed packages by the deadline of July 23, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. CDT. A mandatory pre-submittal conference is scheduled for July 9, 2024, and the Owner may interview up to five of the most qualified respondents before selecting the CMR providing the best value. The RFQ/P specifies a Construction Cost Limitation of $29,900,000 and provides details on the required pricing elements, including the Pre-Construction Phase Fee, Construction Phase Fee percentage, and Not-to-Exceed General Conditions Costs.

The RFQ/P includes requirements for historically underutilized business participation and other state-mandated provisions. Funding for the project is provided through the Texas State University System's capital improvement program, with a total project budget of $39.9 million. The contract will be awarded to the most qualified firm that provides the best value to the Owner, and the project schedule targets completion in the first quarter of 2026.
