RFQ Description: Request for Qualifications for a Design Build Contractor, Mid-Campus Parking Facility
The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center Sourcing and Contract Management Request for Qualifications for a Design Build Contractor Mid-Campus Parking Facility RFQ 483010/ME Overview Historical Background: M. D. Anderson is known throughout the world for high-quality cancer care, research, academic programs and prevention services. Since its establishment in 1941, M. D. Anderson has made major contributions to improve the outlook for cancer patients everywhere. M. D. Anderson was one of the first three federally designated comprehensive cancer centers by the National Cancer Act of 1971. A survey of health professionals has routinely ranked M. D. Anderson as one of the two premier cancer centers in the nation for the past eight years. Over 55,000 persons annually seek care at M. D. Anderson. The team approach to cancer care, pioneered at M. D. Anderson, has been strengthened by consolidating specialty clinics into multi-disciplinary care centers that allow patients to receive more ambulatory care and treatment in a single location. M. D. Anderson offers one of the largest bone marrow and stem cell transplantation programs, as well as clinical trials to improve existing therapies. Teams of clinical specialists collaborate with scientists on problems of common interest and test theories that shorten the application of better treatment methods. Translational research studies are responsible for the promising field of chemoprevention, which uses synthetic vitamins to reverse pre-malignant lesions and halt the recurrence of some cancers, and for innovative gene therapy strategies being evaluated for several forms of cancer. Existing Houston facilities include the latest M. D. Anderson Main Complex facility completed in 1998 and designated as the Alkek Building. This facility consists of more than 1.2 million square feet of new space and is dedicated to clinic, research, and patient care in the Texas Medical Center. During 2005, Owner completed construction of the George and Cynthia Mitchell Basic Sciences Research Building, The Lowry and Peggy Mays Clinic Building, the Cancer Prevention Building, and the South Campus Research Building Two. Owner is currently constructing the T. Boone Pickens Academic Tower, which is scheduled to be completed during 2008. Educational programs train about 2,000 scientists, physicians, and allied health professionals annually. A new Cancer Prevention Center provides sophisticated cancer risk assessment and early detection, genetic testing, counseling, classes to address harmful lifestyle habits, and long-term follow-up for recovering cancer patients. Studies of the environmental causes of cancer are conducted at M. D. Anderson Science Park in nearby Bastrop County. The Bastrop site also includes a center to provide veterinary resources for research. Project Description, and Scope: M. D. Anderson seeks Design Build services for the Mid-Campus Parking Facility project. The Mid-Campus Parking Facility is further described in Attachment D, Owner Design Guidelines. The Mid-Campus Parking Facility is envisioned to provide parking for a minimum of 2000 vehicles to support the new Administrative Support Building.
