About this file
This document is a Q&A record for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Request for Qualifications issued by Kennesaw State University for Architectural, Planning, Engineering and Commissioning Services (Project No. PE-54300-RFQC-2026-000000115). The IDIQ covers work at KSU's Kennesaw and Marietta, Georgia campuses and encompasses projects of varying scales, including feasibility studies, renovations, and additions across multiple design disciplines. Firms may submit as architectural firms, engineering firms, or other consultants and need not include subconsultants in their initial qualifications packets; subconsultants may be added as needed for specific projects. A single firm may submit only one qualifications packet even when pursuing multiple service categories. The geographic requirement mandates that proposing firms be located within a 50-mile radius of either KSU campus, as clarified in Addendum A. Evaluation will assess eight criteria sections, with specific weighting guidance provided in Addendum A, though detailed evaluation criteria were inadvertently omitted from the original RFQ advertisement.
The scope of services sought includes architectural, structural, civil, MEP engineering, commissioning (both MEP and building envelope), facilities condition assessment, and life safety design services. Firms need not list preferred subconsultants in their initial submission but may identify commonly-used partners if desired. Project experience examples may include renovation projects or other project types; the IDIQ typically funds interior renovation work. The document does not specify pricing terms, contract duration, renewal options, set-asides, incumbent information, or funding sources and amounts in the Q&A responses provided.

The following questions were submitted related to the RFQ for
Project No. PE-54300-RFQC-2026-000000115, ‘Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) for
Architectural, Planning, Engineering and Commissioning Services’, Kennesaw State University, Kennesaw and Marietta, Georgia:
1. Can you tell me the types of projects that would fall under this IDIQ?
Response: This application is for any variety/scale of project that may come up on campus, from feasibility studies to renovation/addition design, within your specialty.
2. Can we submit just as the architect, and not include sub-consultants in the submittal? Or would you rather us include engineers on our team?
Response: You do not need to include other subconsultants in your applica)on as other disciplines may or may not be needed. When you are pu+ng a proposal together for a specific project, you would then be able to select and include subconsultants as needed. If you typically/commonly work with specific preferred subconsultants, you may list them as requested in C.5.
3. Will you confirm that (similar to the previous IDIQ contracts), that a firm can only have one submission even if they are submi+ng on several services?
Response: Correct. A firm that is submi+ng to perform more than one service noted in the list of
‘Statement of Need’ (page 3) need only submit (1) qualifica)ons packet. The specific services that a firm is aiming to be considered for should be noted in the le7er of interest (C.1.) and/or the statement of differen)a)on (C.6.).
4. We are an applying architectural firm. Do you want to see a team of engineering subconsultants in our RFQ response?
Response: You do not need to include other subconsultants in your applica)on as other disciplines may or may not be needed. When you are pu+ng a proposal together for a specific project, you would then be able to select and include subconsultants as needed. If you typically/commonly work with specific preferred subconsultants, you may list them as requested in C.5.
5. Are there specific engineering disciplines other than MEP Engineering that are an)cipated to be selected under this contract?
Response: Any design service may be needed, not limited to MEP engineering only, such as commissioning , building enclosure inves)ga)ons, facili)es condi)on assessment, life safety, civil, etc., for example. The firm who offers the services most suited to the need will be selected.
2/3
6. Could you please confirm whether structural engineering services are included within the scope of services being requested in this RFQ?
Response: Yes, structural engineering services are being sought. The firm who offers the services most suited to the need will be selected.
7. Page 4 of the RFQ notes a general requirement that the proposing firm shall be within 30 miles of any of the two KSU campuses. Does submi+ng with a local partner within this distance meet this requirement if the prime firm is not within 30 miles of campus?
Response: A local firm may take on a subcontractor that is further away at their discre)on, as needed, for a specific project. The distance has been increased to a 50 mile radius. Please see the ‘Addendum A’ on the Georgia Registry site.
8. We wanted to ask if Building Envelope Commissioning falls under “Commissioning services” or will this be for MEP Commissioning only?
Response: It may be for both, or either, depending on the need of the facility where the service is needed.
9. Within the RFQ, it states “The Consultant may propose as an architectural firm, an engineering firm, or as other consultant in the metropolitan Atlanta area, within 30 miles of any of the two KSU campuses.” Is the 30-mile radius a strict maximum requirement? Our firm is 33 miles away.
Response: The distance has been increased to a 50 mile radius. Please see the ‘Addendum A’ on the Georgia Registry site.
10. When submi+ng to provide Architectural services, will we need to include a list consultants (MEP, Structural, Civil Engineering, etc.)?
Response: You do not need to include other subconsultants in your applica)on as other disciplines may or may not be needed. When you are pu+ng a proposal together for a specific project, you would then be able to select and include subconsultants as needed. If you typically/commonly work with specific preferred subconsultants, you may list them as requested in C.5.
11. Could KSU please clarify whether the evalua)on criteria listed in Sec)on III.B will be weighted, and if so, whether the rela)ve weigh)ng/points for each of the 8 sec)ons can be shared for purposes of preparing a responsive submi7al?
Response: The criteria for evalua)on of the interviews was inadvertently omi7ed from the RFQ adver)sement. Please see the ‘Addendum A’ on the Georgia Registry site.
3/3
12. We have a clarifica)on ques)on regarding the referenced experience requirements. Specifically, do all reference projects required for the RFQ need to consist of renova)on projects, or are other project types acceptable as well?
Response: All project work examples are acceptable, however the scope that IDIQ typically funds is most likely in an interior renova)on environment.
