RFP 935700-01 Addendum #1 Q&A.pdf

This Addendum #1 to RFP 935700-01, issued by the State of Iowa Department of Administrative Services (DAS), provides supplementary information and clarifications for the MPCF IPI Roof Replacement project at the Mt. Pleasant Correctional Facility. The addendum, dated September 7, 2023, addresses three primary areas: schedule confirmation, responses to bidder questions, and attachments. Regarding the proposal schedule, the addendum confirms that the original proposal date remains unchanged. The addendum supersedes any conflicting provisions in the original RFP dated August 18, 2023, and requires all recipients to acknowledge receipt to avoid potential disqualification from consideration.

The Q&A section clarifies several key project parameters. Existing CAD/PDF drawings will be provided to the successful design firm, though the design firm must verify their accuracy. The facility will provide access assistance to the roof, including lift and operator support if roof height exceeds 15 feet and conventional ladder access is impractical. Regarding roof replacement methodology, DAS clarified that the intent is to remove and replace metal roofing panels with like and kind materials; however, the designer may propose alternative options such as metal roof overlays or single-ply systems (EPDM or thermoplastic with simulated ribs), which will be evaluated during the design phase with the selected firm. The addendum contains no attachments and serves as the sole supplement to the original solicitation documents.
