005-RFB-3080-2027 - Attachment 3 - Cost Proposal Content.pdf

This is a Cost Proposal Content Guide for RFB-3080-2027 issued by the State of Iowa for Capitol Complex Monument Repair and Restoration Services. The file establishes pricing structure requirements for qualified respondents to provide monument assessment, restoration, maintenance, and repair services for approximately 48 historic monuments located at the Iowa Capitol Complex in Des Moines. The scope of work encompasses preservation and protection of state-owned historic and civic monuments while maintaining their historical and architectural integrity, with services to include condition assessments, deterioration identification, damage repair, and restoration using recognized preservation standards. Respondents must demonstrate their pricing model through labor rates for various conservation positions, materials and equipment markups, and a detailed fixed-price quote for the Parrott Rifle restoration project, which includes mobilization/access, wood restoration, bronze restoration, and cleanup/demobilization phases.

The cost proposal guide requires respondents to provide hourly rates for multiple position categories including Conservators (Stone, Wood, Metal), Assistant/Apprentice Conservators across specialties, Historic Preservation Specialists, Architectural Conservators, Conservation Technicians, Preservation Architects, and Heritage/Preservation Coordinators. Respondents must also specify markup percentages for materials, equipment rentals, and other expenses on a cost-plus basis, along with pricing for optional services and recurring costs. The Parrott Rifle project quote serves as a specific demonstration of the respondent's pricing model and approach to phased restoration work, allowing the State to evaluate both labor efficiency and material cost management capabilities across a defined scope of work.
