Exhibit 3 is a Qualifications and Licensing Requirements form for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) solicitation number 696-FD-25-P047 for a fire alarm system installation project at the Vance Unit in Richmond, Texas. The document is a standard acknowledgement form where respondents confirm they have read all specifications, meet or exceed minimum qualifications, and will provide necessary licensing documentation to complete the project scope. By signing this form, potential contractors attest to their ability to fulfill the technical and regulatory requirements of the fire alarm system installation across multiple buildings at the correctional facility.

The form serves as a critical compliance document for the $1,279,700.00 project, which includes a significant Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) component with a 21.1% HUB goal for building construction contracts. Contractors must demonstrate bondability, insurability, and the ability to provide Performance and Payment Bonds at 100% of the contract amount. The solicitation emphasizes strict security protocols, including background checks, prohibitions on bringing firearms or controlled substances to the site, and maintaining professional boundaries within the correctional facility environment. Respondents will be evaluated using a best value approach, with criteria weighted across cost (40%), experience and past performance (30%), staff qualifications (15%), and quality and safety record (15%).
