SECTION 1
GENERAL
1.1 SCOPE. The Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) seeks to establish a
contract with a physician or group of physicians to provide effective medical care within
an acute care setting for TAMU-CC students in accordance with the specifications
contained in this Request for Qualifications ("RFQ"). In particular, the services requested
herein and to be provided under any contract(s) awarded as a result of this RFQ are for
Physician Services. The contracted physician will supervise the mid-level providers and
medical staff who are employed by TAMU-CC. Board certified Family Practice, Internal
Medicine, or Emergency Room physicians are preferred.
The University Health Center is an acute care clinic which serves currently enrolled
students at TAMU-CC and is staffed by a contract physician, two full-time family nurse
practitioners, one half-time family nurse practitioner, and three registered nurses.
Currently TAMU-CC has 12,000 students ranging in age from 17-65. The Center's
primary emphasis is on the treatment of acute illnesses and minor injuries, preventive
health care and health education. As an acute care clinic, students are referred to
community providers for specialized or long-term healthcare needs, most labs and
radiology. The Health Center is open during normal University business hours (no
evening or weekend hours).
The Health Center has seven exam rooms, a CLIA-waived laboratory, and uses contracted
laboratory services. The center also provides a Women's Health clinic which offers
gynecological services, contraception counseling and prescriptions, and other primary care
services related to women's health. Preventive medicine services include immunizations
and tuberculin skin testing; contraception; STD and HIV screenings; and educational
consultations on nutrition, weight management, smoking cessation and substance abuse.
The Health Center is fee based and at this time does not process insurance claims.
Professional medical staff have used an Electronic Medical Records system for a number
of years. The system has the ability to track billable ICD procedures and diagnoses. For
more information about the Health Center, visit http://healthcenter.tamucc.edu.
1.2 CONTRACT TERM. The services requested shall be provided for a period of two (2)
years, beginning August 1, 2026, or the last signature date, whichever is later, and ending
July 31, 2028. This contract may be renewed for up to three (3) one (1) year renewal options upon
mutual agreement of the parties to be evidenced in writing prior to the expiration date of the
initial term.
1.3 DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this RFQ, the following definitions apply:
