The project is divided into four bid packages: Abatement, General Construction, Plumbing/Mechanical/Fire Protection, and Electrical. Bidders must submit separate prices for each package, with an option to include the Plumbing/Mechanical/Fire Protection package in the General Construction package. The bid form also includes a unit price for wall patching/skimcoating. Bids are due by December 5, 2023, and the target date for substantial completion is January 31, 2025. The project is funded by the State of Iowa, and the owner reserves the right to reject any and all bids.
