1. To address vendor questions

1. TRS responses to Vendors questions

# Question TRS Response 1 I understand the construction services will be performed at the El Paso, TX area. Is this still applicable? Our main office, personnel and equipment is located within El Paso, TX limits.

Austin will be the primary location, but work could be requested in other cities where we have regional offices like El Paso.

2 Can you tell me if plans have been issued for this project yet?

This is a construction services contract not specific to a single project. The scope will include multiple projects throughout the term of the contract.

3 I see that the address for submissions is Austin.

Is Austin primarily where this contract will be utilized, or will this be used for work statewide?

I just want to make sure I know which part of the state this contract will service before working on a submission.

Austin will be the primary location, but work could be requested in other cities where we have regional offices.

4 As an El Paso-based company, we are keenly interested in participating in the bid process however, we note that there is a requirement for the bidder to be located within one hour’s distance from the Austin, Texas office. Given our location, we would like to clarify whether there is any possibility of our participation in the bid.

This RFP is open for participation by those vendors who meet the mandatory requirements and can provide the services outlined in the RFP:

A respondent’s response must demonstrate that all the minimum qualifications identified in Subsection I.5 (Mandatory Requirements/Qualifications), page 5, are met to be considered as responsive.

For example: Respondent and any subcontractor(s) proposed by Respondent, must have the necessary commercial remodel and renovation personnel, equipment and facilities located within one (1) hour from TRS headquarters located at 1000 Red River Street, Austin, TX 78701; the Respondent should have the capability to recruit Respondent’s employees and/or subcontractors within one hour of all TRS locations in the State.
