About this file
This is Addendum 2 to a Request for Qualifications issued by the Town of Farragut, Tennessee for comprehensive master planning services of a newly acquired 70-acre municipal park property. The addendum clarifies key requirements and constraints for respondents, including the firm's prohibition from submitting redline edits or proposed modifications to the Town's standard Terms and Conditions as part of their qualifications package. The property is currently undeveloped with a locked access road; the Town will not conduct pre-bid meetings or site tours, and any firm choosing to visit the property does so entirely at its own risk with no liability assumed by the Town. The question deadline was April 2, 2026, with submissions due by April 9, 2026 at 2:00 PM, and notice of award scheduled for April 15, 2026.
The initial project budget is $2 million, with additional funding anticipated based on needs assessments and future grant opportunities. Funding is provided through a $2.5 million Federal Land and Water Conservation Foundation Grant managed by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. The addendum addresses clarifications regarding survey scope, public engagement, and anticipated park amenities, referencing a community-wide survey conducted the previous summer. All communications regarding the RFQ must be submitted via email exclusively to Anjanissa Pratte, Staff Accountant at the Town of Farragut Finance Department; contact with any other Town personnel is forbidden and may result in bid disqualification. The Town's standard Terms and Conditions, reviewed and established by the Town's attorney, form the basis of the agreement, though limited negotiations related to their application may be discussed with the selected firm following notice of award.

Town of Farragut
Addendum 2
RFQ No. 2026-23
Town of Farragut 70-Acre Park Master Plan 03/24/2026
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.
Q1. If we have any redline requests to the Town of Farragut Terms and Conditions provided within the RFQ No. 2026-23, should we include those in our qualifications package? If not, can the Town confirm that there will be an opportunity to modify or negotiate the Terms and Conditions upon notice of award for the selected firm (after 4/15/2026)?
A1. The Town respectfully requests that firms do not submit any red-line edits or proposed modifications to the Town of Farragut Terms and Conditions with their qualifications package for RFQ No. 2026-23. The Terms and Conditions included in the RFQ have been reviewed and established by the Town’s attorney and are not open to revision as part of the qualifications submittal.
Following notice of award to the selected firm (after 4/15/2026), the Town anticipates working with that firm to finalize the contract documents, at which time any necessary clarifications or limited negotiations related to the application of the Terms and Conditions may be discussed. However, respondents should understand that the Town’s standard Terms and Conditions will form the basis of the agreement.
Q2. Is it possible for this visit to occur? Should we check in with you before and after conducting the site visit? Are there other constrains related to the visit?
A2. This property is currently undeveloped, and the existing access road is locked and not open for use.
No pre bid meetings or site tours will be conducted by the Town. If you choose to access or walk the property on your own, you do so entirely at your own risk, and the Town assumes no responsibility for any injury, damage, or loss that may occur.
Q3. Can the Town please expand on the survey needs for RFQ No. 2026-23, 70-Acre Park Master Plan?
We've reviewed the site analysis and data collection scope items in the RFQ. Could you clarify what the Town expects from the selected consultant regarding the survey? Is the expectation to provide full survey of the property or the exterior boundary of the parcel?
A3. Please refer to the section titled “Site Analysis and Data Collection.” The Town expects the survey work to include all items described in that section.
Q4. Is there an anticipated budget you can share?
A4. The initial budget is $2 million. After that it is unknown based on needs assessments, grants, and future funding.
Q5. We understand the public process will inform the amenities and program for the park; what potential amenities and programs have been discussed outside of restrooms and trails?
A5. The community wide survey last summer revealed the following:
