AE RFQ - Reynolds Medical Sciences Building Level 2 HVAC Upgrade - College Station, Texas

The Texas A&M University System, through its Office of Facilities Planning & Construction, is soliciting statements of qualifications from Architect/Engineer firms for the design of the Reynolds Medical Sciences Building Level 2 HVAC Upgrade in College Station, Texas. This Request for Qualifications, identified as TAMUS-RFQ-02-3484, is issued under NAICS Code 541330 and is not a fixed-price or cost-reimbursement contract but a qualifications-based selection process aimed at identifying the most competent firm to lead the project. The primary objective is to modernize the second floor’s mechanical systems to achieve 100% outside air circulation, enhance laboratory safety, and ensure long-term operational reliability. The scope includes replacing and modifying air handling units, installing new rooftop exhaust fans with vertical risers routed through mechanical chases from level 2 to the roof, upgrading ductwork across the entire floor, installing new laboratory controls, and replacing ceiling grids and tiles to accommodate the upgrades. The project must proceed with minimal disruption to active research and occupant operations, requiring the selected firm to develop a detailed phasing plan that ensures continuous building functionality throughout construction. The solicitation is hosted exclusively on the e-Builder portal, with all documents, submissions, and potential addenda accessible only through a designated link, and no submissions will be accepted via email or other channels. Proposals must be uploaded to e-Builder by 2:00 p.m. CDT on August 4, 2026, with no exceptions for late submissions due to system restrictions. The selection process will evaluate respondents based on their qualifications, with the opportunity for the top three or more firms to be invited for interviews after initial review. The planning budget for the overall project is $12.7 million, with $10.37 million allocated specifically for the future construction contract, though no contract value for the A/E services is specified. All inquiries must be directed to Josh Glaze at the Texas A&M University System Office of Facilities Planning & Construction via phone or email. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, contract administration details, insurance or bonding requirements, or detailed evaluation criteria beyond qualifications are provided, as the focus remains solely on identifying the most technically qualified firm to deliver the design for this critical infrastructure improvement.
