A/E RFQ - Biology Teaching & Research Building Project - Texas A&M University

The Texas A&M University System Office of Facilities Planning & Construction is issuing a Request for Qualifications to select an Architect/Engineer firm for the design and construction oversight of the Biology Teaching & Research Building at Texas A&M University in College Station. The project encompasses approximately 184,651 square feet, including classrooms, flexible research labs, shared core facilities, vivarium, and office spaces aimed at supporting biological sciences teaching and research. The overall project budget is approximately 220 million dollars, with around 165 million allocated specifically for construction. The RFQ process is the initial step, inviting qualified firms to submit their qualifications via the designated e-Builder platform by October 21, 2025, at 2:00 pm Central Time. Top candidates may be invited for interviews, and the selection will be based on demonstrated experience, qualifications, and interview performance. The solicitation emphasizes strict adherence to submission procedures, requiring all responses to be uploaded exclusively through the e-Builder portal, with no late submissions accepted. All related documents, addenda, and supporting materials will be posted solely within this platform, accessible via a provided link. The RFQ does not specify detailed contract clauses, pricing schedules, or technical standards at this stage; instead, it focuses on qualification assessment. The project scope includes modern laboratory and classroom facilities designed for collaborative biological sciences research, with the process governed by the policies of the Texas A&M System and the Board of Regents. Administrative contacts and project budget details are provided, but specific contractual terms, delivery schedules, inspection procedures, and certifications will be addressed in subsequent phases or final contract documents.
