ADDENDUM #3

DATE: 05/01/2026

REQ #: 0008505

TITLE: RFQ for A/E Services for Design of the Texas Southern University – School of Law

PROPOSAL DEADLINE: 05/05/2026

Addendum item #1:

To answer questions from potential Respondents.

# QUESTION RESPONSE

1 Should the submittal be structured to mirror the RFQ; listing each requirement and responding to it directly (e.g., “1. Company Description”)? Or is a different format acceptable as long as all required information is included?

Your submission should be structured per package as indicated in OpenGov. The format of your package is at your discretion. Each package should be organized to provide numbered document pages and contain an organized, paginated table of contents corresponding to the section and pages of your submittal.

2 Can you please release the timeline for the CMAR

RFQ?

We don't anticipate soliciting the CMAR until the project is fully funded by the 90th legislature in 2027.

3 Should we produce resumes for all consultants or only those that provide 15% or more to the project?

Only provide resumes for the major consultants that will be performing 15% or more of the project.

4 It is noted that the AE will assist in developing priorities and ROM pricing, so does that mean the AE will not require a cost consultant for reconciliation at key phases? Will this service be provided by the PMF or by TSU-contracted cost consultants?

For Each design phase, the A/E is to provide rough order of magnitude pricing (ROM). In addition, the Owner reserves the right to hire estimating consultants.

5 Third Party consultants are listed which duplicate IDIQ agreements for similar professional services currently under negotiation direct with TSU. Could these be procured by TSU directly or is it preferred they stay direct through TFC? Could any be added to the AE agreement as Reimbursables?

All Basic Services are to be provided under the Texas Facilities Commission (TFC’s) awarded A/E contract. The provision of Special Services, as identified in TFC’s standard contract, will be negotiated prior to contract award. TFC may choose to use IDIQ contracts, at their discretion, to provide special services for The Project.

6 To assist with sub-consultant selection, please confirm the services that TFC and TSU will consider as Basic Services under this contract. If available, please confirm any known additional services so that AE teams can identify consultants that are key to the success of the project..

The selected A/E firm will adhere to TFC’s A/E Guidelines, CAD standards, and specific criteria. A template of the Professional Services Agreement can be reviewed on the TFC’s website, and the 2025 Uniform General Conditions (an update to the template) is also available for download. The referenced Professional Services Agreement defines “Basic Services” on page 3.

7 Where asking for "Difference Between Initial Owner Budget and Contract Award," is the Contract Award the same as the "Successful Respondent Amount" OR is it the same as "Final Construction Cost"?

It is the same as the Final Construction Cost.

8 Is the definition of major subconsultants in item 3.b.1.c the same as in item 3.b.4, where the definition of major subconsultants are those performing 15% or more of the project?

Yes, a major subconsultant is a subconsultant that will be performing more than 15% of the project.

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