Pricing for this engagement is structured as a lump sum with separate line items for design development documents, construction documents, bidding and negotiation assistance, construction phase services, and a unit price for additional construction inspection visits beyond those included in the base scope. Professional liability insurance of $2 million is required. All design documents become property of the State of Iowa and must be delivered in both native computer format and PDF versions.
