The Texas Tech University System (Texas Tech) seeks Statements of Qualifications for Design Professional (DP) Services from interested firms for the Project described below. The successful firm will contract directly with Texas Tech and will work cooperatively with Texas Tech and other Project Team members to successfully provide the professional services requested and complete the full scope of the Project within the Project budget and on schedule. Texas Tech University System and TTUHSC El Paso are planning a 90,000 GSF multi-story comprehensive cancer center to meet the needs of the patients in El Paso and the surrounding region. The primary goal of this facility is to provide cancer screening and to improve cancer treatments and outcomes. The facility will be designed to deliver multidisciplinary cancer care with medical oncology, radiation oncology and surgery consults. The long-term goal is for TTUHSC El Paso to achieve the NIH - NCI designation for this facility. The facility will also provide resources for cancer prevention and screening. The Comprehensive Cancer Centers planning and construction will coincide with the planning and construction of the new Clinical Sciences Building located on the same property and interconnected. The selected design team will consider coordinating and designing one set of utilities to be shared by the two facilities. The utilities that will be shared are as follows: hydronic heating systems, chilled water systems, fire suppression mains, gas, gray water irrigation, domestic water, and sewer. Consolidation will provide the University with short-term and long-term cost savings through equipment reduction and staging capabilities. The facilitys electrical services and emergency power will be isolated for serviceability and maintenance considerations. The new facility will include: 1. A stand-alone single story imaging center containing approximately 20,000 GSF. This imaging center will be shared by the new TTUHSC El Paso Clinical Sciences Building that will be constructed adjacent to this facility. The imaging center will include an imaging area of approximately 12,000 GSF which will include numerous machines and diagnostic equipment including X-rays, PETs, CTs, MRIs, Mammogram equipment, Radiology/Fluoroscopy equipment, Ultrasound equipment as well as a host of other treatment and diagnostic equipment. Approximately 8,000 GSF of the imaging center will be dedicated to clinical support space that includes the common areas, clinical support, and space such as waiting rooms, nurse's stations, vital collection areas, doctor collaboration areas, and resident touchdown areas. 2. An Oncology Center with approximately 70,000 GSF that includes: A.
