ADDENDUM #1

Request for Qualifications # RFQL 2026-0121

Architects and Engineering

*Written Responses from Atlanta Housing to the questions received from

interested respondents via the Q&A board associated with the solicitation

event. All other terms, conditions, and specifications in the original solicitation

remain unchanged:

• Item #10 requests a "List of SBE firms that Respondents may solicit for

subcontracting opportunities." If we already have a group of subcontractors

on our team, should this list be a plan of action to add subs to our team for a

particular task order/scope of work?

AH Response:

Item #10 specifically refers to firms that fit the SBE categorization. If you have

assembled a group of subcontractors for your response, please identify those

subcontractors that qualify as SBE firms. If you do not include SBEs on your

team, you may also list SBE firms that you could add to supplement your team

should the need arise on a future task order.

• In this list of information to provide for previous project experience under

submittals section #2, item k. requests a "List of MBE/WBE/SBE firms that

Respondents may solicit for subcontracting opportunities" Since this is for

previous project experience, would you simply like a list of the team members

on the project and their MBE/WBE/SBE status?

AH Response:

Yes, that is acceptable. Also see 3.1.2(l) regarding MBE/WBE/SBE joint

venturing.

• Should we include resumes of Key Personnel in Uploads 3 and 4 as stated in

the portal? We're assuming we should include Resumes in "Key Personnel"

and our 5 project examples in "Project Experience" as stated in the RFQ. Is

that correct?

AH Response:

Yes. Respondents should upload information in the section corresponding to

the applicable Evaluation Factor. Resumes for proposed key personnel should

be submitted under Evaluation Factor C – Qualifications of Key Personnel,

and project examples should be submitted under Evaluation Factor D –

Project Experience.

Respondents should provide all information necessary to address the

applicable evaluation criteria and the submittal requirements identified in

Section 3.1 of the RFQL.

• As outlined in this RFQL, selected respondents from this RFQL, will then

have the opportunity to respond to a specific Task Order Request for a

particular project/scope of work. It also appears that Task Order would

contain a price and technical proposal (which would include hourly rates,

expenses, breakdown of all costs, etc.). However, it was mentioned by AH

during the pre-proposal conference for this RFQL, that we should include our

rates in this RFQL response. If this is correct, please specify where our rates

should be included in this RFQL response, and what exactly they should

contain (hourly rate, expenses, breakdown of all costs, etc.).

AH Response:

Hourly rates should be included in the RFQL so that they can be

implemented at the Task Order stage.

• What types of supplemental staff would the AH need of the A/E team?

AH Response:

The A/E bench is established and exists using the framework of a conventional

client-contractor relationship. However, there may be a need, though rare, for

Docusign Envelope ID: B6FA5536-AD2F-8B65-80CA-A407E6187709

Atlanta Housing to request temporary in-house support for internal staff

engaged in a specific task. While on-retainer services will be determined on a

case-by-case basis, it could include any service listed in Section 1.2.

• Is a hazardous material consultant required on the A/E team?

AH Response:

The ideal composition of an A/E team is contingent on the requested scope of

work in a future task order. This may include hazardous materials consulting

services. While it is up to each proposer to put forth the most complete team to

address the range of potential services listed in Section 1.2, it is not mandatory.

Proposers may choose to supplement their team in the future to respond to the

unique circumstances of a task order. In that scenario, proposers must submit

qualifications for any additional team members not represented in response to

this solicitation. See Section 3.2.

• Will AH be contracting with a CM or Owner’s Representative on any of the

anticipated projects/task orders?

AH Response:

Atlanta Housing may utilize Construction Managers, Owner's Representatives,

development partners, contractors, or other project-specific consultants as

determined by the needs of a particular project. The composition of the project

team and the contractual relationships among participants will be identified at

the Task Order stage. Respondents should assume they may be required to

coordinate with AH staff, contractors, developers, Owner's Representatives,

Construction Managers, and other consultants as applicable.

• Can AH confirm whether there are page limits, file size limits, required

tabs/sections, naming conventions, or preferred organization for the RFQL

response within the Business Management Portal?

Docusign Envelope ID: B6FA5536-AD2F-8B65-80CA-A407E6187709

AH Response:

Atlanta Housing does not identify any page limits, file size restrictions, required

naming conventions, or prescribed organizational format within the RFQL.

Respondents are responsible for providing all information required under

Sections 3 and 4 and addressing the Evaluation Factors identified in the

solicitation. Respondents are encouraged to organize their submissions in a

clear and logical manner to facilitate review and evaluation.

• Section 3.1 requests both a list of MBE/WBE/SBE firms and a narrative

regarding MBE/WBE/SBE participation, and later separately requests a list

and narrative for SBE firms. Can AH confirm whether a single coordinated

subcontracting/utilization narrative and proposed consultant list may satisfy

these requirements?

AH Response:

Yes. Respondents may submit a consolidated narrative and

consultant/subcontractor list provided the submission clearly addresses all

information requested regarding MBE, WBE, and SBE participation, as well

as SBE-specific participation. The response should identify proposed firms

and describe historical or future efforts related to joint venturing, mentoring,

subcontracting, and supplier inclusion.

• For forms such as the Section 3 Hires Tracking Form and related Section 3

documentation, should respondents complete these based on current company

information and anticipated approach, or may respondents provide a general

Section 3 compliance plan with project-specific details to be completed at the

Task Order stage?

AH Response:

Respondents should complete and submit the required Section 3 forms

identified in Section 3.3. In addition, respondents may provide a general

Section 3 Action Plan describing their anticipated approach to compliance,

training, employment opportunities, business utilization, and outreach efforts.

Because project-specific requirements may vary by assignment, additional
