Texas General Land Office and School Land Board -2- RFP No. 23-SLB-2-LP Addendum No. 3

RFP 23-SLB-2-LP Questions and Answers

Question 1: Do these addendums apply to each RFP? Do the Q&A/new addendum for SLB-

2 will apply to SLB-1?

Answer 1: With exception to questions specific to one geographic location or the other, all solicitation questions and responses included in the addendums for RFP 23-SLB-1-LP and RFP

23-SLB-2-LP apply to the other solicitation.

Question 2: Question to clarify the formation limitations (if any) listed in Article I, III and

Exhibit C of the lease form.

• Article 1.01 of the Lease states the Lessor leases tracts for the exclusive right of geologically store anthropogenic CO2 in a reservoir(s) and pore space in the Miocene and/or Oligocene Formations (defined below) underlying the Leased Surface Tracts within subsurface stratigraphic intervals more fully described in Exhibit C.

• Article III provides the definitions for the Miocene Formation and the Oligocene

Formations in 3.02 (e) and (f). There are a number of blanks left to describe both formations.

• Lease Exhibit C states relevant Miocene and/or Oligocene formations and the well strata shows specifies portions of each formation.

Does Exhibit C of the Lease form limit our scope of both the Miocene and Oligocene

Formations where we can only consider the listed formations (lower Miocene and upper

Oligocene) or are we able to consider other parts of those formations such as the top and middle Miocene and the lower Oligocene?

Answer 2: Respondents may consider and submit proposals including all Miocene and Oligocene age Formations.

Question 3: Section 5.1.2.f and Exhibit A (5) - The sam.gov website offers two options for the

Unique Entity Identification – registration and UEI number assignment or just UEI number assignment. The registration is needed to be able to apply for federal funding or to bid on federal contracts. The UEI number assignment verifies the entity’s existence and that it is unique. The GLO application asks for the UEI number. Must the entity also be registered with sam.gov? What happens if a respondent has applied, but not yet received a SAM UEI?

Answer 3: Unless your entity or any of its principals are subject to an active exclusion it will not affect the award of contract(s).
