This is Addendum No. 2 to Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 27-0014A for Engineering Consultant Services issued by the New Orleans Orleans Public Schools (NOLA) Procurement Department on October 1, 2026. The addendum modifies the original RFQ documents issued September 9, 2026, and must be acknowledged by all respondents; failure to acknowledge receipt results in disqualification. The RFQ seeks to expand the existing pool of engineering firms to provide professional design services for capital projects at OPSB-owned properties, including existing conditions assessments, programming and project scoping, cost estimation, project design, bidding, construction administration, and project closeout. Projects consist of replacement of critical building systems and components, and when required, renovation and additions to existing schools. The portfolio includes historic structures built before 1968 that must conform to the Secretary of Interior's Standards.

The addendum clarifies two key points regarding the scope of work and submission requirements. Selected engineering firms are required to understand and apply the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties for applicable historic projects; any additional specialized services required for specific projects will be identified as part of project-specific scopes. The RFQ does not establish a numerical limitation on the number of proposed Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) firms that may be listed in submissions.
