RFP938700-01 DOC MPCF IPI Building Stormwater Management Addendum 1.pdf

This is Addendum #1 to a Request for Proposal issued by the State of Iowa Department of Administrative Services (DAS) for professional design services related to stormwater management at the IPI building located at the DOC MPCF facility in Mount Pleasant, Iowa. The addendum, dated April 1, 2024, addresses clarifications on the scope of work for mitigating water intrusion along the north elevation of the existing building. Key project milestones include a pre-proposal conference on March 27, 2024, a proposal due date of April 5, 2024, a design kickoff meeting on April 22, 2024, and a targeted project completion date of December 30, 2024. The addendum confirms that the proposal submission schedule remains unchanged and requires bidders to acknowledge receipt of the addendum to avoid disqualification. Design services required include site evaluation, design development, construction documents, bidding assistance, and construction administration.

The addendum provides clarification on three substantive questions regarding project logistics: the fence at the facility may be removed during construction and reinstalled upon coordination with facility management; the facility will provide utility locates as required, though any necessary site survey work should be included in the proposal response; and there are no concerns regarding stormwater pipe sizing if the exit location is beneath the fence. The successful design firm must carry $2 million in professional liability insurance, and the contract will be executed using a modified ConsensusDocs 803 form. The RFP encourages Targeted Small Businesses to submit proposals. No budget range, award value, incumbent vendor information, or specific funding sources are identified in the addendum.
