26CRDLWBNSCHM-0001 - Cost Proposal.pdf

This is a Cost Proposal form issued by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources for RFP 26CRDLWBNSCHM-0001, a conservation easement survey project in Dubuque County, Iowa. The RFP seeks qualified licensed land surveyors to provide surveying, mapping, and legal description services for a proposed Forest Legacy Easement. The project is structured in two phases: Phase 1 requires creation of a preliminary plat with temporary field markings and associated documentation, with a proposed completion date to be specified by the respondent; Phase 2 involves monumentation and recording of the final plat, to be completed no later than one month after landowner notification unless approved in writing. An alternative option (Task 3) allows temporary lath or flags to be placed at corners, turns, and 1/8 mile intervals instead of line-of-sight monuments. The RFP opened on March 6, 2026 at 5:00 PM CST with a proposal submission deadline of April 4, 2026 at 9:00 AM CDT. No site visits or bidders' conferences are scheduled.

Respondents must submit pricing on an hourly cost basis with proposed total hours for each task, providing a grand total cost for the project. The cost proposal template requires contractors to specify their hourly rate, estimated hours, and completion dates for each task. No specific budget range, funding source, set-asides, or award value is identified in the available documentation. Respondents must submit separate Technical Proposal and Cost Proposal files through the IMPACS Electronic Procurement System. The State reserves the right to award the contract without further negotiation or to negotiate terms with the selected respondent at its discretion. Contractors may request confidential treatment of specific information through Form 22, and any exceptions to RFP provisions must be submitted using the provided Exceptions Form, with materially altering terms potentially resulting in disqualification.
