About this file
This document is an Addendum to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the Texas State University System (TSUS) on behalf of Sul Ross State University (SRSU) and itself for Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Architectural/Engineering (A/E) services. The RFQ seeks qualified firms to provide planning, design, renovation, and new construction services for SRSU campuses in Alpine, Del Rio, Eagle Pass, and Uvalde, Texas, as well as TSUS property in Terlingua, Texas. The agreement will be for an initial 3-year term with two 1-year renewal options, with a total contract value not to exceed $3,000,000. The Addendum addresses several questions from potential respondents regarding the inclusion of MEP firms, the required information for past projects, and the roles of prime and subconsultant firms. It confirms that the successful respondent(s) will likely be engaged to provide a range of professional A/E services as needed under individual task orders.
The RFQ does not specify any pricing terms, set-asides, or funding sources. It states that the Owner reserves the right to increase the monetary limit of the contract. The document does not mention any incumbents or the current environment for this type of work.

Addendum No. 2 - RFQ for IDIQ Architectural/Engineering Services (posted 08/14/2024) For Sul Ross State University and The Texas State University System
RFQ No. 758-24-07019
I. GENERAL:
A. Below are Questions that were presented along with Answers to each in relation to this RFQ as of August 13, 2024, 12:00 p.m.
1. Question: Please confirm that an MEP firm can submit on this contract without an Architect.
Answer: The posted RFQ is for conventional Architectural/ Engineering services, where an architect is traditionally in the lead.
MEP firms can submit their qualifications in response to the RFQ but must include an architectural firm as part of their subconsultant team.
As stated in reply to Question Number 1, in Addendum Number 1: “The solicitation will be evaluated based on the criteria stated under Section 3 of the RFQ. While we do not restrict what type of Architectural/Engineering (A/E) firms can pursue the RFQ, those acting as a prime that specialize in limited aspects of A/E services delivery may not score as well as those who are able to demonstrate their experience providing a full range of services as a prime.”
2. Question: As an MEP firm, certain project requirements (listed in 3.4.1) are not always applicable. Please confirm if we would need to include all information for each project, i.e., planned versus actual durations for Schematic Design, Design Development and ninety five percent (95%) Construction Documents phases; provide an explanatory justification for any slippage of dates exceeding fifteen (15) calendar days between planned and actual dates for each milestone; et al.
Answer: Criterion Four is intended to allow for an evaluation of the Respondent’s performance in past representative projects as the Owner attempts to select “…the most highly qualified provider of those services on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications.” In conformance with the requirements of TGC Sec. 2254.004. A Respondent’s inability to provide all of the information requested under Criterion 4 will not disqualify the Respondent but could impact how their Qualifications submittal is evaluated.
3. Question: We plan to submit subconsultants for this project, can you please clarify which sections of the RFQ requirements need to also be completed by the subconsultant? i.e., sections 3.2, 3.5, and 3.6., and which ones are only required by the prime firm.
Answer: The prime firm that signs the Execution of Offer is the lead Respondent to the RFQ. The Criterion questions under Section 3 of the RFQ are directed at them and any references to proposed consultants contained in Section 3 are to be presented by the Respondent on behalf of their proposed consultants. There are no portions of the statement of Qualifications that need to be completed by a proposed consultant.

4. Question: Section 2.3.3. Design services to include preliminary design, construction drawings and specifications for new construction and renovation projects, including preparation of cost estimates and bidding documents as well as assist in the procurement of construction services.
My question is: Are the services above that I have highlighted and underlined required as part of this RFQ?
Answer: The successful Respondent(s) to this RFQ who are awarded an A/E IDIQ Agreement are very likely to be engaged in these types of professional services under a Task Order, if and when such a Task Order is issued.
5. Question: Please confirm if two (2) signatures from the Respondent company may be used instead of one (1) on the professional services agreement, in order to observe internal company controls (Reference § 3.6.7) Answer: If the Respondent is successfully awarded an A/E IDIQ Agreement under this RFQ, a means to incorporate two (2) signatures into the final Agreement can be negotiated.
