CMAR RFP - TEEX San Antonio Complex Project

The Texas A&M University System Office of Facilities Planning & Construction is issuing a request for proposals to select a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for the TEEX San Antonio Complex project. The project aims to develop a significantly larger training facility, approximately 35,760 square feet, designed to support workforce training in areas such as electric power, commercial driving, confined space, and other specialized fields. The new complex will include extensive indoor and outdoor training areas, high-bay climate-controlled labs, office spaces, and collaborative common areas to enhance the training environment. The site spans roughly 13 acres, accommodating various specialized training zones, outdoor classrooms, and secure storage for heavy equipment and emergency response vehicles. The project’s planning budget is set at $32.5 million, with over $24 million allocated specifically for construction, covering the scope of pre-construction services, construction costs, and contingencies. The selected CMAR firm will be responsible for providing comprehensive pre-construction services such as constructability guidance, detailed cost estimates, and construction scheduling, culminating in the establishment of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). The contract will follow the CMAR delivery process used by the university system, emphasizing collaboration and transparency. Proposals must be submitted via the e-Builder platform by 2:00 p.m. Central Time on August 7, 2025, with all documentation and responses to be uploaded before the deadline. The procurement process involves a detailed evaluation based on criteria outlined in the RFP, with the opportunity for interested firms to access the full solicitation package through the provided e-Builder link. The contract size is estimated to be between 50 and 100 million dollars, reflecting the project's scale and complexity, and the project performance will be based in San Antonio, Texas.
