About this file
This is Addendum No. 1 to RFP950400-01 issued by the Iowa Department of Administrative Services for the Food Service Elevator Replacement project at the Woodward Resource Center in Woodward, Iowa, dated February 13, 2026. The addendum documents responses to questions raised during the pre-proposal meeting held on February 11, 2026, addressing 21 technical inquiries regarding elevator replacement scope and specifications. Key clarifications include: drawings availability per RFP note 1.3.6; unknown items requiring removal from the hoist way to be determined during design investigation; confirmation that limited sprinkler system exists only in basement with no upgrades anticipated; fire alarm modifications required to meet code; passengers currently not permitted in the existing elevator but may be allowed in replacement if no additional cost is incurred; confirmation that the limited ATIS elevator study was included as page 6 of the RFP; and identification of a sump pit with sump pump in the existing hoist way. The majority of technical determinations—including controller and equipment replacement needs, hydraulic equipment evaluation, hoist way device and buffer replacement, water intrusion concerns, door and frame replacement, cab material selection, signal device tamper-proofing requirements, battery backup needs, code compliance for hoist way lighting, and condensing unit and fire protection upgrades—are deferred to the design team's investigation phase, with no access control integration currently required or anticipated.
The addendum confirms that all technical specifications and compliance determinations will be developed during the design investigation phase by the selected professional services firm. No pricing, set-asides, incumbent contractors, or funding source information is addressed in this addendum document, as it serves solely to clarify scope and technical questions. The pre-proposal meeting attendee list is referenced as Attachment 1 but not provided in this addendum excerpt.

Food Service Elevator Replacement
Woodward, Iowa
Date: February 13th, 2026
Project: 9504.00 Food Service Elevator Replacement
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FROM THE PRE-PROPOSAL MEETING:
Q1.) Will we receive drawings of the previous projects at this facility?
A1.) Please refer to note 1.3.6 in the RFP regarding drawing availability.
Q2.) Are there any items in the hoist way that will need to be removed with the project?
A2.) This is unknown and will need to be determined during design investigation.
Q3.) Is there a sprinkler system in the building and does that need to be upgraded with this project?
A3.) There is a limited sprinkler system in a portion of the basement, and there is not a sprinkler system on the main level. It is not expected that any sprinkler work will be included in this design.
Q4.) Are any modifications to the fire alarm system needed?
A4.) Any modification to the fire alarm that is needed to meet code should be included.
Q5.) Are passengers allowed in the elevator now and do you want them to be allowed in the replacement elevator?
A5.) Passengers are not allowed now. They may be allowed in the future replacement elevator only if there is no additional related cost.
Q6.) Per the RFP, under 1.4 it states there is an attachment of an Elevator study by ATIS consulting. I am not seeing that posted. Is that available?
A6.) The Elevator study was very limited and was included as page 6 of the RFP.
Q7.) In the elevator machine room, do the controller, remote elevator monitoring, and emergency fire service items require replacement or installation?
A7.) This will need to be evaluated and determined by the design team during investigation.
Q8.) In the elevator, will controllers, controls, buttons, and indicators need replaced?
A8.) This will need to be evaluated and determined by the design team during investigation.
Q9.) Will any hydraulic equipment need to be replaced such as the power unit?
