ASP Tunnel Evaluation Final

The State of Iowa Department of Administrative Services (DAS) is seeking professional design services for addressing structural integrity concerns with the utility tunnels at the Anamosa State Penitentiary. The scope of work includes field examination of the existing tunnels, preparation of design documents, cost estimates, and construction administration services. The project is focused on the replacement of the tunnel lids at two key locations totaling approximately 375 linear feet. The RFP requires proposals to provide lump sum pricing broken down by design phase, as well as a unit price per construction inspection visit. Proposals are due by June 10, 2024, with the designer's contract targeted to be executed the week of June 24, 2024. The 100% construction documents are due by August 23, 2024, and the project is expected to start construction in November 2024 and be completed by May 2025.

Targeted Small Businesses are encouraged to submit proposals for this state-funded project. The contract will be a modified version of the ConsensusDocs 803 agreement. The RFP specifies that the design work is limited to the tunnel lid replacement recommendations from a previous study, with temporary shoring not required to be included. The state is open to an alternate bid item for a topographic survey, but it is not required for the base bid. The estimated cost for the project is $781,000.
