Stephen F. Austin State University issued an RFQ (AE HOURLY‑2024) to establish an indefinite‑delivery/indefinite‑quantity (IDIQ) contract for “as‑needed” architectural and engineering professional services across a broad range of campus facilities. The contract is hourly‑rate based, with a maximum authorized ceiling of $2.5 million for the initial one‑year term and up to two additional one‑year renewals. Evaluation was based on six weighted criteria (30% for Criterion 1, 25% for Criterion 3, etc.), resulting in twelve firms being awarded the contract. The solicitation mandates electronic‑only submission via USB, requires a HUB subcontracting plan, and specifies extensive insurance, financial, and compliance requirements. No minimum workload is guaranteed; the university may call upon any awarded firm for individual projects as needed.
• Scope includes architecture, structural, civil, geotechnical, MEP, planning, construction administration, and related consulting services.
• Contract type: IDIQ with hourly labor rates (rates detailed in Exhibit A).
• Maximum contract value: $2.5 M (subject to Board of Regents approval for higher spend).
• Awarded to 12 qualified firms; all must comply with Texas professional licensing and HUB set‑aside requirements.
