Page 1 of 5

Clarifications to the original Request for Qualifications have been deemed necessary.

Addendum No. 2 shall become part of RFQ 2026.09 – Request for Qualifications for CDBG Grant

Engineering/Architectural/Surveying Services.

Clarifications:

1. Could you please clarify if we are permitted to use an electronic signature on the transmittal

letters. Yes, an electronic signature will be accepted.

2. On page 5 of the RFQ, Section 4.i. "Required Contract Revisions" is noted as part of the "4.

Submission Requirements" - could you please clarify if we are required to include the

Required Contract Provisions pages (RFQ pages 23-29) as part of our response

package? Yes, include pages 23-29 with your response package.

3. Regarding the rating sheet provided on page 12 of the RFQ, the scoring criteria includes, "Has

worked on projects that were located in this general region." - Could you please let us know

what qualifies as being in the "general region"? Would maximum points be allocated for

projects only in Calhoun County, or in Texas? The Coastal Region can qualify as general

region. The team rating the RFQs will rate as they see fit.

4. What types of projects does Calhoun County mostly foresee being under this RFQ? Mitigation

projects such as planning efforts or mitigation projects related to upland and coastal

flooding, if not then what types of mitigation projects might be most expected? Disaster

recovery projects for housing and commercial facilities, economic revitalization, planning, or

infrastructure such as roadways, bridges, and coastal structures? For disaster recovery

projects, which are most likely anticipated? At this time, we have no anticipated projects.

The RFQ is to have an Engineer/Architect/Surveyor preselected to expedite any future

CDBG projects.

5. On page 4 of the RFQ it breaks the work “Pre-Funding services” defined as assist with the

develop of grant applications as necessary.” “Post-Funding Services” defined as “Initial

Engineering and Design Support, Engineering and Final Design Support, Bid and Award

Support, Contract Management and Construction Oversight, Specialized Services, Specify

actual tasks to be performed under each of these categories in your response”. Additionally,

there is a note that Pre-Funding services are/may not be eligible”. What does the note stating

that “Pre-funding services are/may not be eligible mean? The sentence *Pre-funding

services are/may not be eligible* should say *Pre-funding services may or may not be

eligible for reimbursement through the grant.

6. On Page 8 of the RFQ under the provided GLO Scope of Work under Initial Engineering Design

and Support item a states “Assist with the development of grant applications, including, but

not limited to cost estimates, preparation of project justification, project maps and accurate

project descriptions. Under the details of question 5, these services are defined as being

separate. Are the Pre-Funding services separate or are they considered under the Initial

Engineering and Design Support? Pre-funding services are considered under the Initial

Engineering Design & Support.

7. The RFQ on page 3 says “Engineering Service Providers may submit proposal for any and all

activities listed in the attached scope of work.” The example scope of work on page 8 states

“Respondents will be required to show the ability to provide all the Engineering services

described below”. The services include:

• Initial Engineering and Design Support

• Pre-funding services – assist with the development of the grant

• Engineering and Final Design Support

• Bid and Award Support

• Construction Management and Oversight

Does this mean that the Provider may exclude an item above such as the pre-funding

services under the initial engineering and design support or instead exclude construction

management and oversight? Or does this mean that the provider may submit a proposal for

just non-housing projects disregarding housing related projects? You may exclude any

services that you cannot provide.

8. On pdf page 4 of the RFQ the provider needs to show under Item 2a) “Public works

construction” and 2b) “Federally funded construction projects”, does this mean that

supporting projects must include bid support and construction

management/administration or can the provider supply projects that include bid support

construction management/administration as well as design up to 100% bid ready

documents to show qualifications? You can supply projects that include bid support

construction management/administration as well as design up to 100% bid ready

documents to show qualifications.
