Amendment 1-add Builders Risk Insurance.pdf

This is an amendment document from the Iowa Department of Transportation's Architectural Services/Resources & Acquisition Bureau regarding Amendment 1 to the Construction Manager at Risk (CMaR) solicitation for maintenance facilities in Jefferson and Albia (RFP 645-RFP-1728-2025). The amendment adds a Builders Risk Insurance requirement to the Prerequisites tab of the proposal evaluation criteria. The original solicitation seeks qualified firms to provide comprehensive construction management services for two separate maintenance complex projects. Proposal submissions are due May 15, 2025, at 1:00 PM CDT, with pre-proposal virtual conferences scheduled for April 30, 2025. Each location will be evaluated and potentially awarded separately, allowing for multiple vendors to be selected based on qualifications and proposals received.

The evaluation process will assess firms based on firm history, project experience, project team composition, project approach, and location responsiveness, with cost as a secondary consideration to qualitative factors. Respondents must submit three years of financial statements, profit and loss statements, Dun & Bradstreet reports or tax returns, along with three financial references. Firms will be required to indicate a percentage fee for construction costs, though the Iowa DOT reserves the right to negotiate fees with the most qualified Construction Manager. The amendment specifically establishes that Builders Risk Insurance is now a prerequisite requirement for proposal consideration. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly specified in the documentation. The Iowa DOT is a tax-exempt agency, and the contract may include potential renewals.
