07RFQ0001 - Various On-Going Architectural, Engineering and Other Professional Services

Description, Scope and Budget: In order to provide timely and cost effective design and other specialized services, the University of Texas at Austin and PMCS propose to enter into master agreements for on-going professional services with various firms who can provide these services. The proposed agreements will be limited as to contract sum and contract time. Contracts will be executed using individual "Project Assignments" with the total value of projected fees not to exceed approximately $500,000 for any single firm over a period of one calendar year. Each different functional discipline of service may have a different volume or number of project assignments as the renovation and available budgetary needs may require. There is no guarantee that any specific minimum dollar amount of fees will be awarded. Upon mutual consent, the master agreements may be extended for a period of four additional one calendar-year renewals under the same general terms and conditions with any added modifications due to codes, software versions, negotiated hourly rates, etc. The award of individual "Project Assignments" shall be based on the expertise of the professional service provider, their successful performance on prior assignments, the number of projects needed to be designed (after evaluation of university staff availability), and the availability of funding for projects. Professional services fees for individual project assignments will be negotiated based on the governing rules of the Board of Regents of The University of Texas System. These fees will vary depending upon the types of services required and the project types. The successful respondent shall provide hourly rates for additional services or hourly not to exceed tasks. These rates shall be based on performance tasks (principal, senior engineer, drafting technician, clerical, etc.) and shall be submitted during the contracting process and negotiations. Initial hourly rates shall be for the base year of the contract.
