This addendum to Request for Bid (RFB952300-01) is issued by the Iowa Department of Administrative Services for miscellaneous door and window replacements at the Newton Correctional Facility in Newton, Iowa. The addendum modifies the proposal deadline and bid opening procedures for the project, which encompasses the replacement of 12 doors and 2 windows featuring specialized security hardware and detention glazing across multiple buildings (A, B, H, K, and L) at the correctional facility. The original bid submission deadline of June 2, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. has been moved to June 10, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., with bid opening scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on the same day. An optional pre-bid meeting was previously scheduled for May 22, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the facility, with a deadline of 5:00 p.m. on May 26, 2026 for questions and substitution requests. Construction is anticipated to commence on October 12, 2026, with substantial completion targeted for November 20, 2026, and final completion by December 18, 2026.

Bidders must be registered as construction contractors with the Iowa Labor Commissioner and provide their Iowa Contractor Registration Number. All construction workers accessing the facility must complete mandatory background checks and PREA training. Bid security equal to five percent of the maximum bid amount, including additive alternates, must accompany all bids in the form of a bid bond, certified check, or cashier's check. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder whose bid is compliant with all requirements and does not exceed available project funding, with preference given to Iowa-based businesses and resident bidders in accordance with Iowa Code Chapter 73. The successful contractor must execute a ConsensusDOCS 802 Agreement Form and provide performance and payment bonds along with comprehensive insurance coverage. Bidders must disclose all subcontractors and suppliers within 48 hours of the bid deadline. The project is exempt from Iowa sales tax, and Davis-Bacon wages do not apply to this procurement.
