Specifications include, but are not limited to: Texas State University (“University”), in its designation as an emerging research university, seeks Texas licensed architect firms with expertise in general Architecture services. This solicitation may result in an annual contract for Architect Services on new building construction, major renovations, infrastructure, and other miscellaneous projects, on an as-needed basis. Services associated with this solicitation are not for a specific project or series of projects. It is anticipated that a contract will be issued to one or more qualified Architect firms. Selected firms will be contracted to enter into an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (“IDIQ”) contract with the University for services on capital improvement, renovation, facility upgrades, and other infrastructure projects as needed. The contract will be known as an IDIQ contract, because the scope, number of projects, and tasks will be unknown at the time of contract execution. Firms may be assigned various projects as they may arise, based on the nature of the services required and the resources of the firm. Projects awarded under the IDIQ contract are most typically those with a short duration, as well as, those with expedited completion dates. The term of the IDIQ contract(s) awarded will extend through approximately July 31, 2019, with the possibility of two (2), one-year renewal periods. Once a project specific agreement has been awarded, the contract will continue until the project has been completed, regardless of project duration.
