RFQ009460-01 - Addendum #2.pdf

This is Addendum No. 2 to Request for Quote (RFQ) 009460-01 issued by the State of Iowa's Construction Procurement office for the Newton Correctional Facility Temporary Gravel Access Road project. The addendum, dated May 12, 2026, provides clarifications to the original solicitation for construction of a temporary gravel access road at the facility located at 307 60th Avenue, Newton, IA 50208. The base scope requires construction of a 700-foot long by 10-foot wide access road with a 30-foot by 30-foot turnaround area, including stripping and exporting 8 inches of topsoil, compacting subgrade, installing geogrid, placing 8 inches of Class "A" road stone, and re-spreading topsoil at road shoulders. An alternate bid option provides for an additional 450-foot by 10-foot wide section. Proposals were due May 18, 2026, at 11:00 AM (CT) via the Iowa IMPACS Procurement System, with all questions due by 5:00 PM (CT) on May 8, 2026. The intended final completion date is May 29, 2026, with the goal to complete the temporary road as soon as possible after contract execution.

The addendum clarifies two key points from potential bidders: first, that spoils from the 8-inch topsoil stripping will be placed in a pile near the water tower on the property, marked by a red star on the provided site map; and second, that no engineer's estimate has been prepared for this project. Pricing must be submitted in lump sum format for both base and alternate bids, plus unit costs per ton for delivered and placed gravel on an FOB Destination, Freight Pre-Paid basis. All personnel working on-site must pass background checks and complete PREA training with a passing quiz before commencing work. Respondents must provide a Performance and Payment Bond in accordance with Section 10.8 of the Consensus 802 Agreement and satisfy specified insurance requirements as outlined in Exhibit D. The State of Iowa reserves the right to reject any or all quotes without penalty and intends to make one award for this project.
