TxDOT discourages changes in Key Personnel from the individuals listed in the QS and is under no obligation to approve such requests and may disapprove the request at its sole discretion; provided however, TxDOT will consider requests for a change in the Environmental Compliance Manager, which position is no longer required to be filled by an employee of the Lead Contractor or Lead Designer but is required to meet additional requirements as specified in Section 4.4.1 of the Technical Provisions. In addition, if any individual included in the Proposal is also proposed as a Key Personnel or for another position on any other TxDOT procurement, Proposer shall include in the package either: (1) a statement certifying that said individual will be available to assume its designated role on the Grand Parkway Project if Proposer is the successful Proposer, or (2) the resume of a qualified alternate. If TxDOT, in its sole discretion, disapproves a proposed Key Personnel or (if applicable) its proposed alternate, Proposer shall submit the information required above for its proposed substitute, for review and approval by TxDOT in accordance with the foregoing process, at least ten Business Days prior to the Technical Proposal Due Date. The Proposal may not include any Key Personnel previously disapproved by TxDOT in writing. The Proposal shall identify the pre-approved Key Personnel and shall include Form E identifying personnel work assignments, as well as a statement signed by Proposer and the employer of each designated Key Personnel position, committing to maintain such individual’s availability for and active involvement in the Project. The Proposal also shall include copies of the resumes and contact information described in Section 3.2.5.1 for each designated Key Personnel position.
