About this file

This Addendum #01, issued March 20, 2026, by the Iowa Department of Administrative Services (DAS) for Project 9226.00, modifies the original Request for Bid (RFB) #922600-01 for Main House Site Work and Outbuilding Repairs at Montauk Historic Site in Clermont, Iowa. The addendum addresses four distinct bid packages: General Construction, Electrical, Mechanical and Plumbing, and Tuckpointing/Paver Replacement. Scope modifications include removal and replacement of existing top and bottom limestone steps on the south elevation, ductwork sizing revisions from 10" round to 8"x10", electrical conductor routing of three new 3/0 copper or #250 aluminum conductors approximately 130 feet overhead from an existing utility pole to a new Panel A on the second floor, and conduit routing for dehumidification unit installations with field verification requirements. The addendum supersedes conflicting drawing notes regarding grinder use in tuckpointing, clarifies that column salvage is required only if safely feasible, and confirms sequencing flexibility for paver installation provided proper protection is maintained. Pre-bid meeting was held March 12, 2026, with attendance from DAS representatives, the construction manager (DCI Group), design team (Genesis Architectural Design and Durantem MEP Consulting), and the State Historical Society of Iowa. Questions and substitutions were due March 17, 2026, at 2:00 pm, with bids due March 25, 2026, at 2:00 pm through the IMPACS Electronic Procurement System and bid opening at 3:00 pm the same day. Construction is scheduled to run from July through September 2026.

The addendum provides sixteen question-and-answer clarifications addressing grinder use restrictions, step replacement specifications, concrete pad requirements (4" with chamfered corners, no rebar required), cellar door access approval, lintel requirements for wall penetrations less than 12", ductwork hole cutting specifications, and contractor flexibility in equipment selection including aluminum conductor substitution for copper. Specifications clarifications include removal of contradictory language regarding mortar removal methods, confirmation that Novelaire is the approved dehumidification unit manufacturer, and flexibility in refrigerant type selection. All contractors must comply with current Iowa State Building Code and IBC standards, with electrical work subject to State Fire Marshal inspection. Bid security of 5 percent of total bid amount is required, and the apparent low bidder must submit subcontractor and supplier lists within 48 hours of bid opening. Daily logs, site supervision, weekly coordination meetings, and completion of as-built drawings and operation and maintenance manuals are required deliverables. The contract will be executed using modified ConsensusDocs 802 forms with project-specific insurance certificates and performance and payment bonds required prior to contract execution. No specific contract value or award timeline beyond the March 27, 2026 tentative Notice of Intent is provided in the addendum.

Project #9226.00 Addendum #01 Page 2 of 43

Questions and Answers:

Q1. Are grinders able to be used on the tuckpointing? On the drawings it notes grinders are allowed and another note states that only hand tools are allowed.

A1. Grinders can be used as long as there are no overcuts on head or bed joints.

Q2. Does the step on the south end of the mansion get replaced as well?

A2. The bottom step has degraded and should be replaced now while a contractor is on board for limestone replacements. Verify total height of the new stone step so that it sets 7” exposed riser above the paver sidewalk to include any depth that may be below grade. Remove and replace the existing top step and reset on the new bottom step after it has been placed. The top step is in good condition and can be reused. Contractor may want to remove and reinstall the handrail and posts on the right side of steps during work.

Q3. Are there any further details on what is required for the housekeeping pad? Does it need rebar?

A3. The pad just needs to be a 4" concrete pad with chamfered corners.

Q4. Is the cellar door able to be used for getting equipment/materials into the basement?

A4. Yes, the cellar door is operational and able to be used.

Q5. Will lintels be required for wall penetrations?

A5. No, due to the penetrations being less than 12", a lintel will not be required.

Q6. How does the hole need to be cut for these penetrations?

A6. The holes just need to be cut slightly bigger than the ductwork.

Q7. Note 7 on drawings sheet A0.2 states: Sequence south pavers after the porch column work is complete. The schedule provided has this going in a different sequence. Which is correct.

A7. As long as the pavers are protected, the sequencing does not need to follow what is stated in the drawings. Prefer that the Columns are replaced before the Pavers. Pavers need to be protected from any heavy equipment or point loads.

Q8. Will areas/buildings need closed off during construction? Are there any requirements to keep entrances open during certain times?

A8. Yes, work areas will need to be cordoned off from the public during construction. Construction will take precedence and areas/buildings will get closed accordingly.

Q9: Can the copper conductors for the overhead line be swapped over to aluminum?

A9: Yes, aluminum conductors are acceptable. Provide (3) #250 conductors in lieu of (3) 3/0 conductors if aluminum is used instead of copper.

Q10: Drawing M1.1, Keyed Notes, 1., states “PROVIDE 4” CONCRETE HOUSEKEEPING PAD FOR

DEHUMIDIFICATION UNIT.” There are no dimensions of the pad noted, can the dimensions be provided or is it the expectation that we scale the drawings for size and location? Are there specific details required for the pad? Should the edges be chamfered? Where do we get the concrete specifications such as compressive strength, cement, air, slump, ect? Are there dowel or reinforcing requirements? If so please provide those specifications and details.

A10: See A3 response above.

Project #9226.00 Addendum #01 Page 3 of 43

Q11: Drawing A1.0, General Notes, 1., states “All work is to constructed in compliance with state building codes.”

There is no code sheet included with the drawings. What are the applicable codes? Should the plans indicate detailed code analysis, such as building edition, occupancy type? We typically see a code sheet that details the code review information. Specification section 003143 Permit Application, section 1.03, A, states “The bidder shall comply will all codes, laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of any public authority having jurisdiction that bears on the performance of its work.” Please provide a code sheet for the work.

A11: A code sheet is not needed. This is general statement for contractors to build according to current code requirements. There is no local jurisdiction for State owned properties, so the State Building Code governs along with the IBC. Electrical work will need to be inspected by the State Fire Marshal at the end of the work.

Q12: Specification 040343 Historic Stone Masonry Repointing, Section 3.2 Repointing Stonework, C, 3., a, and b, state the following. a. Cut out mortar by hand with chisel and resilient mallet. Do not use power-operated grinders without Architect's written approval based on approved quality-control program. b. Cut out center of mortar bed joints using angle grinders with diamond-impregnated metal blades. Remove remaining mortar in bed joints and mortar in head joints by hand with chisel and resilient mallet. These two paragraphs contradict each other. Can we use powered angle grinders to remove the mortar without architect approval? Can paragraph a. be removed?

A12: Paragraph C.3.a can be removed. See comment response above.

Q13: Drawing A0.2, SITE NOTES, Note 7 states “Sequence south pavers after the porch column work is completed.”

Project Schedule shows the paver replacement starting 7/24 and finishing 7/30 and the mobilization for the column replacement starting on 8/10. Currently the drawing requirements and the schedule requirements are conflicting.

Does the drawing need to be updated or the schedule?

A13: Prefer that these two work items are reversed in schedule. See comment above for column and paver sequencing. Contractor is responsible to provide their own schedule and coordinate it with the Construction Manager.

Q14: Drawing M1.1 shows the 8x6, 10” round and 8” round ducts penetrating through the existing foundation walls in the basement. Based on the site meeting the existing foundation walls are brick. Are there any details about how we need to make these penetrations? Can you confirm if any lintels are required? It may be difficult to core drill these penetrations. Can we demo the brick either by hand or diamond cutting it to provide a rough opening? Do all penetrations need sealed with fire caulking or what if any material?

A14: Revise 10” round duct penetrating corridor walls to be 8”x10”. Refer to A5 above for response regarding lintels.

Q15: Specification 238400, part 2, 2.01 Manufacturers, A. States “Innovent.” Drawing M0.1 Dehumidification Unit

Schedule states manufacturer “Novelaire.” Which manufacturer is correct?

A15: Novelaire is approved as basis of design shown on schedule in drawings.

Q16: Specification 238400, 2.02, D., 1. States “Refrigerant R-410a.” Can we use a different refrigerant if R-410a is no longer available?

A16: Manufacturer’s standard refrigerant is acceptable.

• The limestone step on the south side of the mansion was noted to have significant damage (cracking). The team will look into having this added to the base scope of the project.

• Conduit going through the breakroom was noted to be going over wall art so the design team will look into rerouting conduit closer to the corner.

• Salvaging of the columns was discussed further and what the best plan for this was. This will be on the contractor to figure out and if there is not a safe way to complete this, then it is not required. The columns are the only portion that are needing to be salvaged. The rotten bases can be cut out and disposed of. Demo of the existing columns can be done by removing the rotted base pedestal while the roof is shored up. Then cutting the bottom tie rods. Then separating the top capital rounds so that the top of the rods can be cut.

This will allow the fluted shafts to be removed in one piece and salvaged to the Owner.

• There is led containing materials found on the electrical box, conduits. Team will provide additional instruction on how this will be handled.
