1) SCOPE: In accordance with the provisions of Texas Government Code (TGC), Chapter 2254, Subchapter A, Professional Services, and Rules and Procedures adopted by the Texas Facilities Commission (TFC), and in order to provide timely and cost-effective design and other specified services, TFC solicits through this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Prime Professional Service Providers (PSPs) for Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Professional Architectural Services (ARCH) and Related Professional Services. Original (initial) executed IDIQ contract agreements will state a not-to-exceed cap but shall have no monetary value due to the indefinite nature of the need for services and there is no guarantee of project assignment to the awarded PSPs. Award of an IDIQ contract agreement will not disqualify a PSP from responding to any future TFC project for which a project-specific Request for Qualifications may be issued. TFC anticipates an award to multiple firms from this RFQ.

See Attachment D - Professional Services Agreement for more information.

2) CONTRACT TERM: It is the intention of TFC to award multiple Contracts for full prime professional services during the term.

a) IDIQ contract agreements will beeffective from the date of execution through August 31, 2027.

b) IDIQ contract agreements will include a single, two-year option to renew for the period September 1, 2027, through August 31, 2029.

c) TFC may request an extension not to exceed three (3) months for purposes of re-solicitation and for no other purpose.

d) Any extension or renewal of this Contract shall be implemented by an amendment to the Contract signed by both parties and shall be subject to the provisions, terms and conditions of this Contract including any TFC approved changes.
