REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR
DESIGN/BUILD SERVICES
HUNTSVILLE TEXAS
RFQ No.: 758-20-06067
SECTION 1 – GENERAL INFORMATION & REQUIREMENTS
1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION: The Texas State University System (“Owner”) on behalf of Sam
Houston State University (“Component”), are soliciting Statements of Qualifications
(“Qualifications”) for selection of a Design/Build firm for the North Residence Hall (“Project”),
on the University’s campus in Huntsville, Texas. This solicitation sets forth the terms, conditions,
and requirements for prospective Design/Build firms to be considered for this work. (Prospective
Design/Build firms are hereinafter referred to as “Respondents”).
1.1.1 This Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) is the first phase in a two-phase process for
selecting a Design/Build firm for the Project as provided by Texas Education Code
§51.780. This RFQ provides the information necessary to prepare and submit
Qualifications and for the Owner to evaluate each Respondent’s experience, technical
competence, capability to perform, the past performance of the Respondent's team and
members of the team, and other appropriate factors submitted in response to the RFQ,
except that cost-related or price-related evaluation factors are not permitted through the
initial qualification and ranking of the Respondent. Each Respondent must certify to the
Owner that each architect and/or engineer that is a member of its team was selected based
on demonstrated competence and qualifications in the manner provided by Section
2254.004, Texas Government Code. The response to the RFQ will provide all the
information necessary for consideration and initial ranking by the Owner. Based on the
initial ranking, the Owner may select a short list of up to five (5) of the top ranked
Respondents for an interview. Short-listed Respondents may be required to submit
additional information in connection with the interview.
1.1.2 In phase two, the Owner may request additional information regarding each short-listed
Respondent’s demonstrated competence and qualifications, considerations of the safety
and long-term durability of the project, the feasibility of implementing the project as
proposed, the ability of the Respondent to meet schedules, costing methodology, and other
factors as appropriate. The Owner will not require Respondents to submit detailed
architectural or engineering designs as part of the proposal. The Owner shall rank each
proposal submitted on the basis of the criteria specified in the RFQ, the additional
information submitted in connection with the interview, and the interview itself, if held.
The owner shall select the Design/Build firm that submits the proposal offering the best
value for the Component on the basis of the published selection criteria and on its ranking
evaluations.
1.1.3 As part of phase two, the short-listed Respondents will be required to submit a proposal on
the Owner-provided proposal form. The proposal form shall be submitted in a sealed
envelope with the RFQ number and the Respondent’s name clearly stated on the outside
of the envelope. The proposal form will include line items that require each of the following
to be stated separately: the Proposed Pre-Construction Phase Fee, the Proposed

Construction Phase Fee, and the Proposed General Conditions costs by line item category.
All proposed fees and general condition costs shall exclude any and all architectural
and engineering fees.
1.1.4 After the evaluation of information provided under phase two, and any subsequent re-
ranking of the short-listed Respondents, the Owner shall first attempt to negotiate a contract
with the highest ranked Respondent. If the Owner is unable to negotiate a satisfactory
contract with the selected Respondent, the Owner shall, formally and in writing, end all
negotiations with that Respondent and proceed to negotiate with the next Respondent in
the order of the selection ranking until a contract is reached or negotiations with all ranked
Respondents end. In the course of negotiating the contract, the Owner shall rely on the fee
and cost proposals provided by the Respondent under phase two. Time is of the essence
for the Owner in the negotiation of contracts and Respondent shall take all necessary
measures to assure that proposals and revisions to proposals are expedited. Failure of the
Respondent to be responsive and maintain a satisfactory and expedited negotiating
schedule shall form the basis for the Owner to end all negotiations with the Respondent.
1.1.5 The Owner has established a Design/Builder’s Budget Limitation (“DBBL”) amount of
Fifty-One Million Dollars ($51,000.000). The DBBL includes a Construction Cost
Limitation (“CCL”) of Forty-Seven Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars
($47,700,000). The selected Design/Build firm will be expected to present a Guaranteed
Maximum Price Amount (including a mutually agreed upon construction contingency) for
Owner’s approval at the completion of the one hundred percent (100%) Design
Development Documents.
1.1.6 Following selection of a Design/Build firm, that firm's architects and/or engineers shall
complete the design, submitting all design elements for review and determination of scope
compliance by the Owner before construction. An architect shall have responsibility for
compliance with the requirements of Chapter 1051, Texas Occupations Code. An engineer
shall have responsibility for compliance with the engineering design requirements and all
other applicable requirements of Chapter 1001, Texas Occupations Code.
1.1.7 The successful Respondent will be required to use e-Builder, the Owner’s web-based
project management software.
1.2 PUBLIC INFORMATION: All information, documentation, and other materials submitted in
response to this solicitation are considered non-confidential and/or non-proprietary and are subject
to public disclosure under the Texas Public Information Act (Texas Government Code, Chapter
552.001, et seq.) after the solicitation is completed. The Owner strictly complies with all statutes,
court decisions, and opinions of the Texas Attorney General with respect to disclosure of RFQ
information. Additionally, pursuant to the provisions of Texas Government Code Section
2261.253, the contract resulting from this solicitation will be posted on the Owner’s website.

"Under Section 2155.004, Texas Government Code, the vendor certifies that the individual or
business entity named in this bid or contract is not ineligible to receive the specified contract and
acknowledges that this contract may be terminated and payment withheld if this certification is
inaccurate." If a state agency determines that an individual or business entity holding a state
contract was ineligible to have the contract accepted or awarded as described above, the state
agency may immediately terminate the contract without further obligation to the vendor. This
section does not create a cause of action to contest a proposal or award of a state contract.
1.15 SALES AND USE TAXES: Section 151.311, Texas Tax Code, as amended effective October 1,
1993, permits the purchase free of state sales and use taxes of tangible personal property to be

exempt entities that include The Texas State University System. The section further permits the
purchase tax-free of tangible personal property (other than machinery or equipment and its
accessories and repair and replacement parts) for use in the performance of such a contract if the
property is "necessary and essential for the performance of the contract" and "completely consumed
at the job site. "In addition, the section permits the purchase tax-free of a tangible service for use
in the performance of such a contract if the service is performed at the job site and if "the contract
expressly requires the specific service to be provided or purchased by the person performing the
contract" or "the service is integral to the performance of the contract."
1.16 CERTIFICATION OF FRANCHISE TAX STATUS: Respondents are advised that the successful
Respondent will be required to submit certification of franchise tax status as required by State Law
(Texas Tax Code Chapter 171). The contractor agrees that each subcontractor and supplier under
contract will also provide a certification of franchise tax status.
1.17 REQUIRED NOTICES OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE COVERAGE: The

Texas Workers' Compensation Commission has adopted a new rule, Texas Administrative Code
Title 28, Part 2, Chapter 110, Subchapter B, Rule 110.110, relating to REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS FOR BUILDING OR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS FOR
GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES. The rule implements sec. 406.096, Texas Labor Code, which
requires workers' compensation insurance coverage for all persons providing services on a building
or construction project for a governmental entity. The requirements of the rule are set forth in the

Uniform General and Supplementary General Conditions of The Texas State University System
Building Construction Contracts.
1.18 PREVAILING WAGE RATE DETERMINATION: Respondents are advised that the Texas
Prevailing Wage Law will be administered. The penalty for violation of prevailing wage rates has

SECTION 2 – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2.1 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: Founded in 1879, Sam Houston State University is the third
oldest public university in Texas. During its 141 years of service, the University has touched the
lives of generations of Texans while helping shape the educational, social, economic, and cultural
development of the state. Sam Houston State University is a doctoral-granting university located
in the rapidly growing 1-45 corridor north of Houston. Currently, Sam Houston State University
has approximately 21,500 students enrolled in one of the 90 undergraduate or 70 graduate programs
offered by 8 colleges. This year we have 10 doctoral programs.
2.2 MISSION STATEMENT: Sam Houston State University provides high quality education,
scholarship, and service to qualified students for the benefit of regional, state, national, and
international constituencies.
2.3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE:
2.3.1 Project Site: The new North Residence Hall will be located on the north side of Sam
Houston State University’s main campus in Huntsville, Texas. The site for this new facility
is bounded by Bearkat Boulevard to the north, Avenue I (Ron Randleman) to the east, the
site of the proposed New Parking Structure (Ave. I) to the south, and Avenue J to the west.
The North Residence Hall will directly address Bearkat Boulevard. The Student Affairs
Annex building, two small dormitory buildings, surface parking lots and
hardscape/landscape improvements currently sit within the proposed building footprint.
2.3.2 Program Summary: The new North Residence Hall will accommodate 640 beds in a five
level (Ground + Levels 1 through 4), 208,000 gross square feet structure. The Ground Level
consist of a reception/commons area, a multipurpose room, offices and three faculty/staff
apartments. Approximately 4,000 gross square feet of shelled space for future retail is
located at the west end of the Ground Level. The residential areas occupy Levels 1 through
4 and include 196 units in the following count and configuration:
Unit Type Unit Description Beds/ # Units Total

Unit Beds
Typical Two double-occupancy with shared bathroom 4 140 560
Typical ADA ADA-compliant Typical Unit 4 8 32
Single One single-occupancy with private bathroom 1 20 20
Single ADA ADA-compliant Single Unit 1 8 8
RA One single-occupancy with private bathroom 1 19 19
RA ADA ADA-compliant RA Unit 1 1 1
2.3.3 Coordination with Adjacent New Parking Structure (Avenue I) Project: The New Parking
Structure (Avenue I) project for the construction of a new, multi-level parking structure is
currently in design and will be under construction when the Notice to Proceed for
Construction is issued to the North Residence Hall Design-Builder. The new parking
structure will be constructed immediately adjacent to this Project’s site, and the Design-
Builder shall coordinate with the new parking structure’s Design-Builder during design
and construction of the North Residence Hall. The existing Student Affairs Annex and
dormitory buildings will be abated and razed to the ground as part of New Parking Structure
(Avenue I) project. While the extent and elevation to which the below-grade portions of
these structures will be removed has yet to be determined, Respondents are advised that

building and retaining wall foundations, underground plumbing, paving and hardscape
improvements and tree stumps and roots will remain in place to prevent disturbance of
underlying soils. Demolition and removal of these items will be the responsibility of the
North Residence Hall Design-Builder. Utilities to be abandoned will be cut and capped at
the limits of the site by others for removal or abandonment in place by the North Residence
Hall Design-Builder. The Design-Builder will be responsible for relocation of active
utilities. There will be ample time for the Design-Builder to further refine its demolition
scope during Pre-construction.
2.3.4 Criteria Package: The Design Criteria Package attached to this RFQ contains a set of
“Bridging Documents” prepared by Page Southerland Page and dated July 27, 2020. These
documents were developed with the input of University Administration, Facilities
Management and Residence Life staff. The Bridging Documents are the starting point for
the design of the facility, and the University will not revisit the major decisions made
during their development. Therefore, it is expected that schematic design will be an
abbreviated effort consisting primarily of a handoff and coordination effort between the
Design-Builder and Page Southerland Page. The Bridging Documents depict wood frame
construction; however, the Owner is open to exploring other types of structural and framing
systems if they provide an overall best value and do not significantly affect the general
configuration of the building.
The design criteria package can be found by referencing the following link:
http://www.shsu.edu\twb002\project_files\N._Res._Design_Criteria_Pkg.zip
2.3.5 The basis for compensation for this Design/Build Project shall include, but not be limited
to, the provision of the following:
2.3.5.1 Professional fees/reimbursable expenses: including architects, engineers,

specialty consultants, and subcontractors for schematic design, design
development and construction documentation;
2.3.5.2 All required permitting from federal, state, county and local governing
jurisdictions;
2.3.5.3 Any and all site development requirements;
2.3.5.4 General conditions, overhead expenses and profit;
2.3.5.5 Construction sub-trade packages;
2.3.5.6 All necessary utility services; including water, wastewater, electrical, gas,
telecommunications, data and special systems including fire alarm and security;

If awarded this contract we understand that we will be required to attend a meeting with the University’s
HUB coordinator to discuss HSP requirements in soliciting for subsequent subcontractors for this project.
Good Faith Effort will be documented and will contain a completed HUB Subcontracting Plan for each
subcontracting opportunity.
Documentation of subcontracted work will be provided with each pay request on the Monthly Progress
Assessment Report.
Sincerely,
Contractor’s Name
NOTE: In addition to the above, and distinct from any HUB Good Faith Effort required by
Texas law, the respondent is requested to submit a statement, in the Letter of HUB
Commitment, describing in detail how the respondent will commit to attract and use certified
HUBs to meet or exceed the Sam Houston State University’s HUB Goals for all goods and
services needed throughout the term of the contract. Please also provide a statement as to
what percentage of HUB participation you intend to achieve and what your company has done
in the past to demonstrate your efforts in contracting with minority or women owned
contractors.

Addendum No. 1 - RFQ for Design-Build Services (posted 08/27/2020) RFQ No. 758-20-06067
I. GENERAL:
A. The Non-Mandatory Pre-Submittal Conference was held on August 20, 2020,

via Zoom teleconference. The Attendance Sign-In Sheets are included as part
of this Addendum. Below are the Questions that were presented along with
Answers to each in relation to this RFQ as of August 26, 2020, 12:00 p.m.:
1. Question: Owner’s Standard Design/Build Contractor Agreement Item 17.4 –

Professional Liability Insurance states the fees for provision of such insurance
will be at the expense of the Design/Build Contractor. Exhibit A – Special
Conditions, Item II indicates that notwithstanding the terms of Article 13 of the
Agreement, the Design/Build Contractor shall be entitled to reimbursement, as
Direct Construction Cost (General Conditions Costs), the agreed-upon, fixed
premium rate for Professional Liability Insurance coverage. Please confirm if
the cost for required provision of Professional Liability Insurance is to be
reimbursable and, if so, is it to be included as part of the Allowable General
Conditions per reference to Other Project Insurance as Required by Contract
upon Exhibit C – Allowable General Condition Line Items.
Answer: The reference to "Professional" in Exhibit A - Special Conditions,
Item II is in error and will be omitted in the final Owner - Design Builder
Agreement. Therefore, there is no reimbursement of Professional Liability
Insurance.
2. Question: Attached HUB Subcontracting Plan form downloaded from Texas

State Comptroller’s website per RFQ Item 1.13.5 indicates a 21.1 % goal for
Building Construction Contracts and a 23.7 % goal for Professional Services
Contracts. TSUS UGC for Construction Contracts Item 4.1 indicates a 26.1 %
goal for Building Construction Contracts and a 20.0 % goal for Professional
Services Contracts. Please confirm the HUB goals required for the provision of
Design/Build Services on the Project.
Answer: The HUB goal for professional services is 23.7%. The goal for the
entire Design/Build project is 21.1%. The Design/Build firm can consider the
professional services HUB values in achieving the 21.1% goal.
3. Question: Please confirm if the Design Criteria Package and associated 100%
Bridging Documents referenced per RFQ Item 2.3.4 are to serve as the
developed Project Facility Program per Design/Build Contractor Agreement
Item 3.33 and is therefore only required to be validated by the Design/Build
Contractor in terms of compliance with both the Owner’s Design Requirements
and Owner’s Construction Cost Limitation as part of initial performed Pre-
Construction Services for further design development.
Answer: Confirmed.
4. Question: Please confirm if project will include any LEED requirements as

referenced per TSUS Division 1 Specification Section 013520 – LEED
Requirements, and if so, what certification level.
Answer: LEED certification is not required.
5. Question: Is the North Residence Hall at SHSU intended to be 4 stories of
wood frame over 1 story of concrete?
Answer: Confirmed, however per the RFQ Paragraph 2.3.4 “…the Owner is
open to exploring other types of structural and framing systems if they provide
an overall best value and do not significantly affect the general configuration
of the building.”
6. Question: I am reaching out to you to confirm, the actual date of the Non-
Mandatory Pre-submission teleconference. There is information out in the
public giving conflicting dates: Is it: • 8/18/20 at 10:30am • 8/20/20 at 10:30am
Answer: Per RFQ paragraph 1.11 the Non-Mandatory Pre-Submission
Teleconference was scheduled for August 20, 2020 at 10:30 a.m. (C.D.T.).
7. Question: I am reaching out to see if there is a sign-in sheet for the pre-
submission conference and if so will it be posted?
Answer: A listing of the participants is attached to this Addendum.
8. Question: We are preparing to present SHSU a design build team for the North
Residence Hall, 758-20-06067. In our review of the RFQ criteria, are we
required to provide a Surveyor and Soils Testing team in this proposal or will
that be selected at another time? Appreciate any clarification you can provide
on this one item.
Answer: Sam Houston State University (SHSU) will furnish the Design-
Builder (D-B) with a copy of a boundary/topographic/utility/tree survey of the
Project site. D-B is advised that underground utility locations shown on
surveys within and around the SHSU campus are historically approximate,
and that D-B shall be responsible for protecting and maintaining all utilities to
remain. Additional underground utility locating measures including, but not
limited to, potholing shall be the responsibility of the D-B. D-B shall be
responsible for establishing line and grade and all field surveying and layout
required for construction. The Owner will provide Construction Materials
Testing, including soils testing.
9. Question: I would like to request for an assistance in obtaining the pre bid sign
in sheet for this opportunity.
Answer: See response to Question No. 7, above.
10. Question: Will the winning team receive a BIM model of the bridging
documents? Will a demolition package be required within the scope of work?
Who selects FF&E?
Answer: The Bridging Documents BIM model will be provided to the
successful D-B. Per RFQ paragraph 2.3.3 “The existing Student Affairs Annex
and dormitory buildings will be abated and razed to the ground as part of
New Parking Structure (Avenue I) project. While the extent and elevation to
which the below-grade portions of these structures will be removed has yet to
be determined, Respondents are advised that building and retaining wall
foundations, underground plumbing, paving and hardscape improvements and
tree stumps and roots will remain in place to prevent disturbance of
underlying soils. Demolition and removal of these items will be the
responsibility of the North Residence Hall Design-Builder.” It is anticipated
that the D-B will prepare a FF&E package for approval and procurement by
the Owner.
11. Question: Is there a model available for use based on the RFQ Bridging
Documents?
12. Question: I am looking to see if you have the sign in sheet available?
13. Question: Please confirm SHSU and/or Texas State System’s minimum HUB
percentage goal for the Design Team.
14. Question: Can SHSU or Page provide the Revit model for the Bridging
Documents during the RFQ phase of procurement?
15. Question: In the pre-submittal meeting, it was mentioned that the programmed
space is actually 171,427 gross square feet, not 208,000 gsf. However, the in
the Project Description on Sheet G-001 of the Bridging Documents states that
the project is 208,000 gsf. Can you clarify if the space utilization shown in
these drawings is already reflecting the 171,427 gsf or if revisions are needed
to these drawings to reduce the total square footage to that noted in the pre-
submittal meeting.
Answer: 171,427 gross square feet is correct and based on the BIM model
for the Bridging Documents.
16. Question: Is it possible to capture part of 16th street on the Northern border of
the site for construction access purposes?
Answer: Permission to close Bearkat Blvd. (16th Street) between Avenues I
and J must be obtained from the City of Huntsville.
17. Question: What do the power lines at the South West corner of the property
serve?
Answer: Overhead power lines at the southwest corner of the site will be
removed by others prior to D-B's mobilization.
18. Question: Will as-builts of cut and capped utilities be provided by the
contractor performing the demolition of the existing buildings?
Answer: Yes, as-built conditions will be provided to the selected D-B when
they become available.
19. Question: Will offsite parking be made available?

Answer: Yes.
20. Question: Are there any limitations to hours that can be worked on site due to
proximity to students and location on campus?
Answer: Normal working hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. However,
due to the aggressive nature of the schedule, SHSU will consider extending
working hours based on specific activities to be performed.
21. Question: Are the engineering/specialty consultants who worked on the initial
programming team and resultant bridging documents (with Page) eligible to
participate on the proposing design/build team?
Answer: No.
22. Question: Regarding the HUB Plan, we have these questions for confirmation:
Please confirm that the HUB Goal is 23.7%, the goal for professional services
Please confirm whether the architectural firm’s participation is to be listed on
the HUB Plan.
Answer: The "prime" architectural firm team leader does not need to be
listed on the HUB Subcontracting Plan.
Please confirm who signs this HUB Plan, the construction company responder
or the architectural firm team leader?
Answer: The HUB Subcontracting Plan is signed by the architectural firm
team leader.
Please confirm the date that the HUB Plan is eligible for a courtesy review from
the HUB Coordinator.
Answer: Courtesy reviews can be done up until the day before the RFQ
submittal is due; September 4, 2020. We encourage sending the HUB
Subcontracting Plan for review as early as possible to our HUB Coordinator,
Bob Chapa at: [email protected].
26. Question: We are working on the submission for the RFQ mention above due
Sept. 4, 2020. Due to the arrival of Hurricane Laura, we just wanted to ask if
the University is considering pushing back the deadline for submission.
Answer: No extension of the Submission Deadline is being contemplated at
this time.
27. Question: Can you elaborate on the Universities approval process and have
these requirements been considered within the Project Planning Schedule
included within the RFQ?
Answer: TSUS/University approval requirements for the Design
Development Submittal and GMP have been factored into the Project
Planning Schedule.
28. Question: For the Board of Regents approval, how far in advance will the
materials need to be completed and submitted to the board?
Answer: The Board of Regents submission schedule will be provided at a
later date, but for the purposes of this RFQ, Respondents may use the
following:
60 days prior - SHSU meets with D-B to review previous DD packages.
50 days prior - D-B submits draft to SHSU w/o reconciled estimate.
35 days prior - D-B submits reconciled 100% DD cost estimate.
24 days prior - D-B delivers hard copies of DD package to TSUS in Austin.
29. Question: As we will be needing to coordinate very closely with the ongoing
construction of the parking garage, is there a site logistics diagram for that
project that we can have access to?
Answer: A site logistics plan for the New Parking Structure (Ave. I) is
currently being developed and will be provided to the selected D-B when
available.
30. Question: Can you provide any of the detailed costing information that was
utilized to establish both your DBBL and CCL?
Answer: Detailed cost estimate information will be provided to the selected
D-B.
