Summary of Addendum 1 for Lake of Three Fires State Park Cabin Window Replacement Project

This Addendum No. 1, issued by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Land & Waters Bureau on February 20, 2026, modifies the original specifications for the cabin window replacement rebid project at Lake of Three Fires State Park in Taylor County. The project requires replacement of 36 window units across six cabins, comprising Window A (4 single-hung operable units per cabin at 2-2440 configuration with replicating muntins), Window B (1 picture window per cabin at 3224 configuration), and Window C (1 privacy picture window per cabin at 2436 configuration with obscure exterior glass). Approved manufacturers include Pella Corporation Reserve Traditional, Marvin Ultimate Windows, Quaker Window Products Brighton or TimberVu, Lincoln Windows, Kolbe Ultra Series, and Andersen E-Series. All windows must feature factory-fabricated wood frames with exterior and interior muntin details replicating existing configurations, double-glazed clear argon-filled glass with specified coatings, wood sills sloped for drainage, stainless steel fasteners, and wool pile weatherstripping on operable units. Electronic proposal submissions were required by 3:00 PM on February 26, 2026, with project completion mandated by June 11, 2026, with work restricted to Monday through Thursday only and no work permitted May 25-28.

The Addendum clarifies that contractors must verify all window sizes and configurations in the field, ensuring standard-sized replacements match original dimensions within 1.5-inch tolerance gaps and do not modify existing rough framing. Contractors have the option to field-finish interior or exterior wood frames to match existing conditions, with color selections from manufacturer standard offerings or custom stain and varnish products submitted to the DNR for review prior to ordering and finishing work. All windows with muntins must be replaced as like units per specification requirements, with trim work at exterior and interior locations modified or replaced only to closely match existing trim in dimension, tone, and finish. Contractors must submit shop drawings, manufacturer certificates, and evidence of AAMA, WDMA, or CSA certification, demonstrating a minimum of three years of documented experience in window manufacturing and installation.
