About this file

This is Addendum 2 for Request for Proposal (RFP) 937700-01 issued by the State of Iowa Department of Administrative Services (DAS) for the Hope-Stratton HVAC Replacement project. The addendum covers details from a pre-proposal meeting held on May 8, 2024, and provides clarifications to potential bidders. The project involves HVAC upgrades at the Hope House facility in Coralville, Iowa, with a primary goal of addressing high humidity levels. Proposals are due on May 23, 2024, at 2:00 PM, with the total project budget for Phase 1 set at $289,500, of which approximately $180,000 is allocated for construction. The project timeline includes design kickoff in the week of June 10, 2024, with construction planned from October 2024 to April 2025, and project closeout scheduled for April to May 2025.

The addendum clarifies several key points for potential bidders, including that only PDF drawings with MEP information are available, and designers are not strictly limited to the recommendations in the initial evaluation report. The facility is open to alternative HVAC solutions, including a potential VRF system, provided they remain within the established budget. Bidders are required to submit a project-specific schedule, resumes for technical staff, anticipated hours and rates, and a lump sum fee breakdown. The RFP requires a Professional Liability insurance policy of $2,000,000 with a $25,000 deductible, and bidders must provide a Certificate of Insurance prior to contract execution. The original building designers, Neumann Monson and Miner Consulting Engineers, are invited to submit a proposal along with other firms.
