About this file
This is an Addendum 1 to the Request for Qualifications (RFQ No. 2026-22) issued by the Town of Farragut, Tennessee, for a Comprehensive Land Use Plan update. The addendum clarifies submission and procedural requirements for the RFQ and becomes a binding part of the original solicitation upon acknowledgment by proposers. The project requires qualified consulting firms to complete a comprehensive update of the Town's Comprehensive Land Use Plan, originally adopted in December 2012, with a twelve-month project timeline commencing May 1, 2026, and concluding by April 30, 2027. Proposers must submit one original and three copies of qualifications statements to the Town of Farragut Finance Department by March 19, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., with a deadline for submitting questions by March 12, 2026. The Town intends to award the contract on March 25, 2026, with Board approval and contract execution scheduled for April 9, 2026. Evaluation will be weighted on Experience (25%), Proposed Schedule (15%), Staffing (15%), Project Approach and Methodology (25%), and Community Engagement Strategy (20%).
The addendum specifically addresses procedural questions regarding sealed envelope submission requirements, clarifying that proposers may either affix cover page information to the outside of the package or place a clearly marked inner envelope containing sealed qualifications inside the shipping package. Proposers are instructed not to include redline changes or contract modification requests in their qualifications packages, as contract negotiations will occur only with the selected firm. Standard Town professional services terms and conditions will apply to the resulting contract. All communications regarding the RFQ must be submitted via email exclusively to Tessa Cortes, Finance Director (tcortes@townoffarragut.org), who serves as the sole point of contact; contact with other Town personnel is forbidden and may result in disqualification. The RFQ contains no published budget range or award value.

Town of Farragut
Addendum 1
RFQ No. 2026-22
Comprehensive Land Use Plan 3/13/2026
The proposer acknowledges this addendum shall modify and become a part of the original solicitation document. The Proposer further acknowledges that should it be determined at the time of the bid opening that the Proposer has failed to acknowledge receipt of ALL issued addenda; the Proposer’s Bid submission shall be rejected. The Proposer understands that any verbal representation made or assumed to be made during any oral discussion held between Proposer’s representatives and any Town personnel is not binding. Only the information issued in writing and added to the specifications by an official addendum is binding.
Q11. Can the Town clarify if the envelope cover page needs to be treated a label on the outside of the envelope containing the sealed qualifications packages?
A1. The Town can confirm that the envelope cover page does not have to be used strictly as an exterior label on the outside mailing envelope. You may either (1) affix the cover information to the outside of your package, or (2) place a clearly marked inner envelope containing the sealed qualifications inside your shipping package. In either case, the key requirement is that the full submittal is clearly labeled so it can be readily identified and handled as a sealed qualifications package upon receipt.
Q2. 2. Does the outside of the sealed envelope need to be separately labeled “Sealed RFQ No. 2026-22 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update” apart from the envelope cover page?
A2. See the answer to question 1
Q3. 3. If we have any redline requests to the Town of Farragut Terms and Conditions, should we include those in our qualifications package?
A3. This RFQ is a submittal of qualifications only and not the stage for contract negotiations. Please do not include redline changes to the Town’s Terms and Conditions in your qualifications package. Any questions or requested modifications to the Terms and Conditions will be addressed, if necessary, during contract negotiations with the firm selected for award.
Q4. 4. Should we assume that the terms for a professional services contract will apply here?
A4. Yes. The Town’s standard terms and conditions for professional services will apply to the resulting contract.
All communications regarding this RFQ must be submitted via email to the Finance Department representative identified below:

The Finance Director will be the sole point of contact for this RFQ.
Proposers’ contact with anyone else in the Town is forbidden and may result in disqualification of the Proposer’s bid. Further, any oral communication will be considered unofficial and non-binding on the Town. Proposers should rely only on written statements issued by the Finance
