Pool of Vendors for Architectural Services- Small Animal Teaching Hospital

Texas A&M University is soliciting proposals to establish a pool of vendors for architectural services related to the design and renovation planning of its Small Animal Teaching Hospital (SATH) Transition Project. The solicitation, identified as TAMU-RFQ-26-5014, was posted on June 11, 2026, with proposals due by 7:00 p.m. CST on July 2, 2026, and is structured as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) arrangement with a five-year contract term, subject to annual review and renegotiation. Responses must be submitted electronically via the AggieBid portal or email to tamuaggiebid@tamu.edu, with submissions required in Microsoft Office or PDF formats and acceptable electronic signatures. The evaluation is based on a best value trade-off approach using a 100-point system that prioritizes relevant project experience (25 points), qualifications (20 points), and the project team’s approach to working within an active hospital environment (20 points), with additional weighting for timely resource allocation, cost management, and references—all assessed quantitatively without adjectival ratings. The scope of work requires vendors to conduct on-site evaluations, develop conceptual designs, assess cost and feasibility, and deliver a final recommendations report including an existing conditions summary, space needs program, and stakeholder presentation materials. All services must be performed on the Texas A&M University campus in College Station, with formal acceptance occurring in writing by the university at P.O. Box 30013, College Station, TX 77842-3013. Key requirements include identification of named key personnel with detailed credentials in mechanical, electrical, structural, and control systems engineering, submission of a Texas-certified HUB subcontracting plan if the vendor intends to subcontract, and compliance with bonding and insurance standards requiring performance and payment bonds up to 100% of contract value and minimum commercial general liability coverage of $2 million per occurrence. Respondents must provide a Federal Employer Identification Number, disclose VetHUB certification status, and certify compliance with university terms, including financial and legal disclosures. While no formal FAR clauses or federal accounting identifiers are specified, the procurement adheres to Texas A&M’s standard contractual terms, with no requirement for CAGE codes, UEI, or security clearances.
