This addendum document pertains to Lamar University's Request for Proposals for NCAA Title IX Compliance Education and Advisory Services, issued by the Texas State University System institution. The procurement seeks a qualified consultant to conduct comprehensive assessment and advisory services related to the University's compliance with federal Title IX requirements, NCAA regulations, and conference standards. Key deliverables include providing expert staff to conduct independent training forums in the second semester addressing harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and safe reporting mechanisms for student-athletes, coaches, and administrators; reviewing institutional resources and processes for addressing misconduct allegations; conducting consultations with campus partners; and submitting formal reports with policy enhancement recommendations. Proposals must be submitted by February 12, 2026, at 2:00 PM (CDT) to Lamar University Procurement Services in Beaumont, Texas. The contract award is projected for March 2, 2026, with execution targeted for March 30, 2026. The contract term shall be one year from execution with options to renew for four additional one-year terms if both parties agree in writing.

Evaluation will be based on five weighted criteria: Respondent's Statement of Qualifications and Availability (20%), Respondent's Ability to Provide Services (20%), Respondent's Performance on Past Similar Projects (15%), Project Specific Information (20%), and Respondent's Pricing and Delivery Proposal (25%). The pricing proposal must include a lump-sum monthly fee and itemized travel expenses complying with GSA Per Diem Guidelines, with payment terms of net thirty days upon receipt of undisputed invoices. Required insurance includes General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), Workers Compensation (statutory limits), Automobile ($1,000,000), and Professional Liability ($1,000,000), with endorsements naming Lamar University and the Texas State University System as additional insureds. While no specific HUB Subcontracting Plan is required, good faith efforts to utilize Historically Underutilized Businesses are expected if subcontracting occurs. All work products are retained by the University as "works for hire" and exclusive property, with the successful respondent relinquishing all intellectual property rights to the University. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed; however, compensation will not exceed one million dollars unless preapproved by the Board of Regents of the Texas State University System.
