# QUESTION RESPONSE

1 What is the HUB Goal % for this project? The goal for AE services is 23.7% as stated on page 16 of the RFQ solicitation document.

2 Page 5 of the RFQ defines a HUB based on the current Texas Administrative Code which seems to include firms owned by Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, women, and disabled veterans. On December 2025, the state comptroller announced that businesses previously certified by the Comptroller of Public Accounts as HUBs based on race, ethnicity or sex will no longer qualify under the new rules unless they demonstrate ownership and control by a service-disabled veteran. Can you confirm what the ownership requirements are for the HUB program specific to this RFQ?

The language complies with Texas Government Code Chapter 2161. The HUB requirements and processes for our office remain consistent with the statutory language.

3 Please confirm the total project budget for the project.

The total project budget is $193M

4 The POR includes renderings completed by the architectural firms Treanor and KPF but does not list these firms as contributing consultants to the POR. Can you describe the role that these firms played in the formation of the POR? Also, can you confirm whether these firms are eligible to respond to this RFQ or if they are precluded?

Treanor and KPF completed a study making the case for the need for a new facility. The study pointed out key building deficiencies of the current law building, current legal education trends, and benchmarks against peer institutions. The renderings were examples for what the new facility could look like and are being reused from another service for the POR. The firms did not receive any compensation for the POR being used for this solicitation and are eligible to respond to this RFQ.

5 Please confirm time of pre-submittal meeting on 4/21. Page 11 #1 states 2:00, Pg 11, #2 states 10:00.

Confirmed. Dates and times are correct. 4/21 - 2pm, 4/22 - 10am, central time

6 Please confirm the total construction budget for the project.

The total construction budget is $129M

7 Paragraph 3.B.3.a. ask that responders identify five

(5) most relevant past completed Projects similar in size and scope to the Project requested in this RFQ.

There is no time limitation listed for these 5 projects. Paragraphs b and c on the same page states “For these five (5) most relevant Projects completed within the last five years…” Please confirm if there is a time limit requirement for the 5 projects requested in paragraph 3.B.3.a.

See addendum item #1

All other aspects of the RFQ # 0008505 remain as is.
