CST * * * The City of Tuscaloosa issued requests for qualifications for design phases services for the Saban Center. These services include Architectural and Engineering Services, Museum Planner Services, Exhibit Design Services, and Theater Planner and Acoustician Services. The RFQs were issued on April 22, 2022. The City received requests early on to extend the deadline for RFQ responses, due to conflicts with a certain

industry conference occurring during the week of May 18. (See Addendum No. 1, issued on May 6, 2022.) The City initially declined to extend the deadline for responses. The City also received numerous questions about the RFQs, and issued Addendum No. 1 to the RFQs on May 6, 2022, to formally answer those questions. The City continued to receive questions about the RFQs after Addendum No. 1 was issued, and has now issued Addendum No. 2 to answer those additional questions. However, due the volume of questions received, the City has not been able to issue Addendum No. 2 until May 20, only three days before the response deadline. The Citys goal is to make sure that all interested firms have a fair opportunity to respond to the RFQs. In light of the timing conflicts created by the industry conference occurring this week, and the late issuance of Addendum No. 2, the City has decided to extend the deadline for responses to Friday, May 27, 2022, at 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. This extension applies to the RFQs for Architectural and Engineering Services, Museum Planner Services, Exhibit Design Services, and Theater Planner and Acoustician Services. All other requirements for submissions set out in Part 4 of the RFQs still apply. The City has not extended the deadline for questions about the RFQs. The City will not respond to any further questions about the RFQs. *** END OF DOCUMENT ***
