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 Fowler, Hughes, and Schuhmacher Halls Plumbing Riser Replacement project in College Station, Texas. The project involves comprehensive replacement of plumbing stacks, mechanical ductwork, fire sprinkler modifications, and architectural finishes across three dormitory halls, covering approximately 157 restrooms and associated systems. The RFQ, posted on September 9, 2025, sets a submission deadline of October 7, 2025, at 2:00 pm Central Time, with all responses required to be uploaded via the designated e-Builder portal. The total planning budget is approximately $10.7 million, with about $8.79 million allocated for construction, and the process is qualification-based, potentially including interviews for the top candidates. Notably, the RFQ does not incorporate specific contract clauses, FAR provisions, or detailed terms and conditions, instead referencing the overarching policies of the Texas A&M System and the RFQ instructions. There are no explicit references to packaging, marking, bar-coding, or inspection and acceptance procedures within the available documents, as these are typically addressed in subsequent contract phases. The selection process emphasizes firm qualifications, relevant experience, project understanding, and team capability, with no price proposals required at this stage. Administrative contacts are limited to the designated project liaison, David Wilkinson, who will handle questions and coordinate communications. All procurement activities, including addenda and updates, are managed exclusively through the e-Builder system, underscoring the importance of timely and compliant submission by prospective firms.
