IDIQ Professional Engineering Services, HVAC & TAB and Related Professional Services

This contract establishes a multiple-award IDIQ framework for professional engineering services related to HVAC testing, balancing, and design, issued by the Texas Facilities Commission. It is governed by Texas statutes including Chapter 2254 of the Texas Government Code, requiring firms to be registered with the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors, and mandates submission of proof of HUB status and compliance with various state and federal laws. The agreement is indefinite in quantity, with each project assigned on a case-by-case basis, specifying scope, not-to-exceed fees, and performance timelines, primarily in Austin, Texas, but with potential statewide work. The initial contract runs through August 31, 2027, with options for renewal through August 31, 2029, and each assignment's completion is governed by project-specific schedules, including milestones like substantial and final inspections, which are performed at the project site. The contract incorporates numerous exhibits and referenced documents, including the 2015 Uniform General Conditions, TFC A/E Guidelines, key personnel lists, HUB subcontracting plans, insurance requirements, and background check protocols. It emphasizes strict compliance with security protocols, including criminal background checks and cybersecurity training for personnel working on-site, and requires detailed submission of key personnel résumés and project experience. Payment procedures are based on monthly invoicing aligned with services performed, with no fixed prices at the contract level; instead, each assignment has its own negotiated fee, with a not-to-exceed cap. The agreement also includes comprehensive representations and certifications covering legal eligibility, HUB participation, anti-collusion, and compliance with laws such as the E-Verify system, human trafficking prohibitions, and foreign adversary restrictions. Special clauses address the need for quality assurance, inspection rights, confidentiality, and the non-negotiable nature of core articles, ensuring the contractor maintains professional standards and adheres to all applicable laws throughout the contract duration.
