A1: Submit all information that will benefit your submittal Submitted: 5/5/2026 01:48:23 PM (CT) Q2: Tab 4 of the submission requirements requests five sub-consultant references. Our firm self-performs all Building Commissioning services and does not typically engage subconsultants. How would you like us to address this requirement in our submission? A2: You may have this response on that section. Submitted: 4/30/2026 05:13:58 PM (CT) Q3: My name is Valentina, the Marketing Coordinator from Collaborate Arch, LLC. I am currently preparing our submission for the Additional Professional Services for District Construction Projects RFQ (RFQ #26-013). As I reviewed the RFQ, I had a few questions and would appreciate your clarification: On page 2, it indicates that qualifications packages may be submitted via IonWave; however, page 4 lists the submission format as three hard copies along with a USB drive. Could you please confirm the correct submission method? If hard copies are required, should each of the three copies be submitted in separate 1.5 inch binders, or should all copies be included within a single 1.5 inch binder? On page 5, it states that “the work must have been completed by the firm submitting the project and not under the name of another firm.” Could you clarify whether this limits submissions to projects where we served as the prime firm, or if projects where we acted as a sub-consultant/Associate Architect may also be included? Are resumes required for our preferred sub-consultants? I had registered with Galena Park ISD on IonWave last week, but I have yet to receive a response. Who should I reach out to get my registration approved with Galena Park ISD? Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Submitted: 4/27/2026 11:30:34 AM (CT) Q4: So if we submitted but were not awarded on RFQ 24-012, do we need to resubmit? A4: GPISD shows you were awarded under Other Professional Services. Engineering is not part of this RFQ at this time. Submitted: 4/23/2026 01:35:43 PM (CT) Q5: Hi, I have a question on the RFQ for Additional Professional Services for District Construction Projects. We would like to submit for Materials Testing and Geotechnical Engineering. In looking at the selection process, part of the points is allotted to previous experience with GPISD.

Thank you A5: Thank you for reaching out. No, that will not be a detriment if you submit. Submitted: 4/23/2026 09:34:50 AM (CT)
