IDIQ Professional Architectual Services and Related Professional Services

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.

TFC anticipates an award to multiple firms from this RFQ.

See Attachment D - Professional Services Agreement for more information.
