RFQ Design - Central Utility Plant and Infrastructure Upgrade

The Texas A&M University System Office of Facilities Planning & Construction (FP&C) on behalf of the Board of Regents of The Texas A&M University System (Owner) and Texas A&M University-Central Texas are soliciting statements of qualifications for selection of an Architect/Engineer (A/E) firm for the Central Utility Plant and Infrastructure Upgrade project (#24-3376) located in Killeen, Texas in accordance with the terms, conditions, and requirements set forth in this Request for Qualifications (RFQ). The main goals for the Texas A&M University-Central Texas (TAMUCT) project are to increase energy efficiency, increase opportunities to utilize renewable energy sources, increase campus resiliency and redundancy and decrease operating costs. To meet these goals, TAMUCT wishes to connect all existing building's utilities through a centralized utility loop fed by a common Central Utility Plant (CUP). The utility loop will be able to feed the current facilities and the planned future facilities on the TAMUCT campus. The utilities included in the proposed loop will be chilled water, electric, and fiber optics. In addition to providing this campus loop, domestic water, electric, and fiber optics will be extended to the new CUP location, and new secondary services for each of these utilities will be provided. The planning amount for the project is $47,500,000, which includes an Amount Available for Construction Contract (AACC) of $37,937,000. Fees, furnishings, other work, miscellaneous expenses, and contingencies make up the balance of the Planning Amount.
