1.SCOPE: In accordance with the provisions of Texas Government Code, Chapters 2166 and 2254, and Rules and Procedures adopted by the Texas Facilities Commission (TFC), and in order to provide timely and cost effective design and other specialized services, TFC solicits through this Request for Qualifications (RFQ), Professional Fire Alarm and Fire Protection Engineering firms as Professional Service Providers (PSPs) for Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract award. IDIQ contracts will serve as a master agreement with no monetary value. Because of the indefinite nature of the need for services there is no guarantee of project assignment to the firms selected. Contracted firms may be awarded one or more assignments as projects become available. Award of an IDIQ contract or subsequent assignment under an IDIQ contract, will not disqualify a firm from responding to any future project for which a project-specific RFQ may be issued. 2. DATE OF SERVICES: IDIQ agreements will be valid for two years from the date of execution, and will be subject to an extension of an additional two years with the mutual agreement of TFC and the PSP. Project-specific assignments will be made within the time frames during which the IDIQ agreement is valid. To remain valid, qualifications must be updated by the PSP to reflect any significant changes in the PSPs ownership, structure or method of operation, or when requested by TFC. Duration of the agreement for each assignment will be negotiated and documented in the PSP contract for each project-specific assignment.
