Early Discovery: How Mercator.ai Found It First

When UT Southwestern filed early entitlement documents for its new Radiation Oncology Center in Fort Worth, Mercator.ai surfaced the project days after submission.

Mercator.ai uses AI-driven construction intelligence to scan and connect public filings, permits, environmental reviews, and stakeholder data—giving builders and suppliers an information advantage months before bid lists or trade publications catch up.

For users tracking healthcare and institutional projects, Mercator.ai is where new opportunities first appear.

Project Overview

UT Southwestern Medical Center is investing $85 million to construct a two-story, 65,000-square-foot radiation oncology facility at 400 W Magnolia Ave, directly expanding its Moncrief Cancer Institute campus.

The program includes:

• Five linear accelerator (LINAC) vaults
• Dedicated MRI / MR SIM suites
• High-Dose Rate (HDR) therapy rooms
• PET-CT and CT simulation suites
• Administrative offices and clinical support areas
• A new structured parking garage

As of October 2025, the project’s environmental review and TDLR accessibility registration are complete, but no general contractor has been listed—a signal, according to Mercator.ai, that the procurement window remains open.

Recent Activity Timeline

• Sept 26 2025: Project first detected by Mercator.ai
• Sept 29 2025: Environmental Review – Approved
• Sept 30 2025: TDLR Accessibility Registration – Filed (TABS2026002222)
• Oct 6 2025: Urban Forestry Review – Not Required

For subscribers, Mercator.ai automatically generates real-time notifications when statuses like these change—helping users track momentum and time outreach precisely.

How Mercator.ai Works

Mercator.ai aggregates and enriches data from thousands of municipal sources, design filings, and project submissions. Using AI, it links:

• Projects → active and historic records across jurisdictions
• Companies → their roles (owner, architect, civil engineer, GC)
• Contacts → emails and direct dials from official documents

This allows construction firms, manufacturers, and suppliers to:

• Identify projects in early design or procurement
• Find verified decision-makers for target accounts
• Receive AI-curated intel as projects progress

In short, Mercator.ai is the command center for pre-bid market intelligence—turning scattered public data into actionable sales pipelines.

Construction and Bidding Insight

UT Southwestern typically procures large capital projects through Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) or hard-bid shortlists.

Given the project’s radiation shielding and vibration-sensitive imaging, contractors with strong healthcare experience will have a competitive advantage.

Specialty Scopes Include:

• Radiation shielding installation and QA/QC
• Heavy MEP coordination for LINAC and PET systems
• Structural slab and vibration control
• Cleanroom-grade finishes and infection control detailing

By monitoring the project on Mercator.ai, GCs and subcontractors can be notified as soon as bid packages or construction documents are released.

Market Context: Why It Matters

Fort Worth’s Medical District is one of the fastest-growing healthcare corridors in Texas. With UT Southwestern’s new oncology facility joining major neighbors like Cook Children’s and Texas Health Harris Methodist, construction activity is accelerating.

For builders and suppliers specializing in medical infrastructure, Mercator.ai is the go-to platform for tracking where institutional capital is flowing next—from design to entitlement to bid.

How Builders Use Mercator.ai

Mercator.ai customers—ranging from top 100 ENR contractors to regional subcontractors—use the platform to:

1. Discover Projects First: Detect new developments before public bid notices are issued.
2. Map Relationships: See which architects and engineers recur across owner portfolios.
3. Prioritize Outreach: Use AI signals to score projects based on stage, budget, and probability of award.
4. Automate Follow-Up: Save companies and projects to custom groups for real-time alerts.

By embedding Mercator.ai into their business-development stack, firms reduce manual research time and increase hit rates on early-stage work.
