About this file

This document is an addendum to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the Texas A&M University System for Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) services. The RFQ seeks to establish a master services agreement with multiple companies to provide these services for construction projects managed by the Texas A&M University System and its member institutions. The addendum addresses several questions raised by respondents, including the ability to self-perform the Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) subcontracting goal, the placement of Exhibit A, the applicability of performance and payment bonds, and the treatment of resumes in the page limit for the Statement of Qualifications. The RFQ has a due date of September 10, 2024.

The RFQ is for services in the state of Texas, specifically Brazos County. The contract is intended to allow for the utilization of the selected companies by other Texas A&M University System members. The addendum clarifies that the requirements and scope referred to in the RFQ are general, and not specific to any particular project. It also notes that the Exhibit E, which includes provisions related to performance and payment bonds, is a standard template that may be modified prior to award and execution.

ADDENDUM NO. 1

Date: September 4, 2024

RFP Due Date: September 10, 2024

RE: RFQ01 FPC-24-207 – SUE Services

Respondents shall acknowledge receipt of addendum(s) on the Execution of Offer (Exhibit A).

Questions/Responses:

1. Can a firm self-perform the HUB goal?

Response: The HUB Subcontracting Plan (HSP) form does allow for self-performing if you can perform all services stated in section 3.2 of the RFQ. If that is the case you must complete the HSP accordingly with a full explanation in section 3 of the HSP as to how you can self-perform. Any further questions on the completion of the HSP may be directed to so-hubprogram@tamus.edu.

2. Exhibit A should be in the second requested pdf rather than with the Qualifications. Is it ok to reference on the Table of Contents that it is within the forms pdf? Or will we make a separate Table of Contents for forms in the second pdf and list 4.1.5.1 there?

Response: Exhibit A should be within the Forms PDF as noted in Section 2.5 of the RFP. No response is needed in the Qualifications for section 4.1.5.1.

3. On the top of page 6 of the RFQ, it states that “No claim for additional compensation will be allowed due to unfamiliarity with the specifications and/or existing conditions. It shall be understood that the Respondent has full knowledge of all of the existing and/or revised conditions and accepts them "as is." Please clarify if this pertains to information within the RFQ or existing conditions on-site.

Response: This statement is to the RFQ requirements and scope in general, and not that of a specific project.

4. Regarding section 9 of Exhibit E, are performance and payment bonds applicable to consultants providing proposed engineering services under this contract?

Response: This Exhibit is our standard template and a draft that may be modified prior to award and execution.

5. Are resumes counted towards the page limit for the Statement of Qualifications (SOQ)?

Response: Yes. Section 2.5 lists the exceptions to the page count however references is not one of those excepted.

6. Can we include information about our subconsultants' relationships with Texas A&M University?

Response: Yes, if any of your subconsultants have experience with the A&M System you can include that information.
