CMAR RFP - Agricultural Sciences Building - Stephenville, Texas

The Texas A&M University System, on behalf of the Board of Regents and Tarleton State University, is seeking a Construction Manager at Risk firm to deliver pre-construction and construction services for a new 113,500-square-foot Agricultural Sciences Building on the Tarleton State campus in Stephenville, Texas. The project involves the demolition of existing structures including Ferguson Hall and Bender Hall, relocation of the College of Agriculture & Natural Resources functions from the Joe W. Autry Building, and construction on the current P36 surface lot. The selected firm must provide comprehensive pre-construction services such as constructability reviews, detailed cost estimating, and scheduling, leading to the submission of a Guaranteed Maximum Price that will serve as the binding cost ceiling for the project. All work must adhere to the Texas A&M University System’s CMAR delivery process and comply with Texas Education Code §51.782(e). Proposals must be submitted exclusively via the e-Builder portal by 2:00 p.m. Central Time on July 23, 2026, with no alternative submission methods accepted. The contract has an estimated value of $74,700,000, drawn from a $100,000,000 total planning allocation, and is structured as a best-value selection process rather than a lowest-price technical acceptance approach. Evaluation will consider both qualitative factors and cost, with the possibility of interviews conducted with shortlisted proposers. The point of contact for inquiries is Robert Collins of the Texas A&M University System Office of Facilities Planning & Construction. Inspection and acceptance will occur on-site at the completed facility located at Washington Street and N. Lillian Street. While specific delivery timelines, invoicing methods, accounting codes, packaging requirements, or detailed evaluation weights are not disclosed in the available information, the contract stipulates that all supporting documents, attachments, and submission guidelines are accessible only through the e-Builder portal. The firm is responsible for executing construction that meets all project specifications and achieving final acceptance by the government, with no options, special personnel requirements, or security clearances noted in the available terms.
