RFQ for Architectural & Engineering-Burke Center & ETBR-Lufkin

The contract pertains to a Request for Qualifications issued by Burke Center and East Texas Behavioral Resources (ETBR) to solicit architectural and engineering firms capable of providing design, renovation, repair, and construction planning services for projects scheduled between 2025 and 2030. The RFQ emphasizes qualifications over pricing, requiring firms to submit detailed information about their history, personnel, joint ventures, claims history, and relevant experience. Evaluation will be based on a points system prioritizing firm experience (60 points), past performance (25 points), and capacity to perform (15 points), totaling 100 points, with no fees or prices to be submitted at this stage. The deadline for submissions is November 19, 2025, at 3 p.m., with proposals accepted via mail, in person, or email to Charlie Liles at Burke Center. The solicitation references Texas Government Code Section 2254.004, which governs the procurement of professional services, but does not incorporate specific federal or state contract clauses, nor does it specify any standard contract clauses, security requirements, or post-award administration procedures. The scope is limited to qualifications, with no attachments, technical specifications, or supporting documents included in the RFQ. There are no detailed terms regarding inspection, acceptance, packaging, or marking requirements, as the focus remains solely on selecting qualified architectural and engineering firms. The estimated total contract value ranges from $500,000 to $2,000,000, serving as an overall budget estimate rather than a fixed price schedule. Overall, the process is a qualifications-based selection aimed at identifying the most capable firms to support Burke Center and ETBR’s planned projects over the specified period.
