IMPACS Vendor Registration Portal.html

This is a vendor registration portal document for the State of Iowa's IMPACS (Iowa Procurement and Contracting System) electronic procurement platform. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) on March 6, 2026, at 5:00 PM CST seeking qualified licensed land surveyors to provide professional surveying, mapping, and legal description services for a proposed conservation easement in Dubuque County, Iowa. The two-phase project requires surveyors to establish precise boundaries of the easement and "Permitted Agricultural Use Area" to support property appraisal and landowner review for a US Forest Service Forest Legacy Easement. Phase 1 involves preliminary delineation with temporary field markings and production of a preliminary Plat of Survey with legal descriptions, standard maps, and aerial-overlay maps. Phase 2 includes conditional finalization of the Plat of Survey with monumentation and recordation contingent upon landowner acceptance and easement execution. The proposal submission deadline is April 4, 2026, at 9:00 AM CDT. No site visits or bidders' conferences are scheduled. Respondents must submit separate Technical Proposal and Cost Proposal files through the IMPACS portal.

The RFP documentation does not specify award values, budget ranges, set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise preferences, or incumbent vendor information. Interested parties must register as vendors through the IMPACS portal using their email address to access detailed specifications, cost proposal forms, and evaluation criteria available on the Iowa DNR website at http://www.iowadnr.gov/InsideDNR/RFPBidLettings.aspx. Respondents may request confidential treatment of specific information using Form 22 and must submit any exceptions to RFP provisions using the designated Exceptions Form, noting that materially altering terms may result in disqualification. The State reserves the right to award the contract without further negotiation or to negotiate terms with the selected respondent. Technical assistance is available through IMPACS Support at impacs@iowa.gov or +1 515-823-9083.
