AE RFQ - Domestic Water Well #6 Upgrade - Bryan, Texas Follow Solicitation

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, is soliciting statements of qualifications for selection of an Architect/Engineer (A/E) firm for the Domestic Water Well #6 Upgrade project at Texas A&M University (#02-3487) located in Bryan, Texas in accordance with the terms, conditions, and requirements set forth in this Request for Qualifications (RFQ).

Texas A&M University Facilities & Energy Services proposes the redrilling and replacement of existing Well #6, originally constructed in 1960. Well #6 is one of the University's highest-producing groundwater assets and is essential to meeting campus operational demand.

Performance testing confirmed the existing well is operating below its expected pump curve, indicating diminished hydraulic efficiency, while increased regional pumping stresses within the Simsboro Aquifer are expected to accelerate water-level declines near the well.

The project includes construction of a new 24-inch Simsboro replacement well designed to meet BVGCD, TCEQ, and TDLR requirements; installation of a 1,000-HP, 4,160-V vertical turbine pump; electrical upgrades including a new medium-voltage transformation package, switchgear, protective relays, conduit, and conductors; and a new emergency generator with load bank connection.

Additional work includes a reinforced pump pad, cooling tower, SCADA and communications integration, electrical improvements, and required civil/site work. Upon commissioning, the existing 1960 Well #6 will be plugged and abandoned or reclassified in accordance with BVGCD requirements.

The planning amount for the project is **$20,640,000**, which includes an Amount Available for Construction Contract (AACC) of **$17,389,893**. Fees, furnishings, other work, miscellaneous expenses, and contingencies make up the balance of the Planning Amount.
