DOC FDCF Floyd & Bldg K Roof Replacement

The Iowa Department of Administrative Services (DAS) is seeking qualified vendors to perform a comprehensive roof replacement project at the Fort Dodge Correctional Facility, specifically targeting Building K and the Floyd Unit. The procurement involves a detailed roof replacement involving partial tear-off, membrane removal, and installation of a new fully adhered EPDM roofing system across approximately 26,000 square feet of total roof area. Key deliverables include removing existing ballast and membrane, replacing up to 25% of water-damaged roof insulation, mechanically fastening new insulation, adding polyisocyanurate insulation, and installing new aluminum fascias and gutters. The project is solicited through Request for Bid (RFB) #925300-01, with bids due by 2:00 PM on May 9, 2023, via the IMPACS Electronic Procurement System. An optional pre-bid meeting was held on April 11, 2023, and the anticipated construction period runs from May 17, 2023, to November 30, 2023, with potential alternate completion dates extending to June 18, 2024. Bidders must provide a 5% bid security and comply with all state and local requirements, including submittal of comprehensive documentation.

The contract opportunity includes provisions for targeted small business participation and requires compliance with affirmative action and equal employment opportunity provisions. Bidders must be registered with the Iowa Labor Commissioner and are not required to adhere to Davis-Bacon wage standards. The project is exempt from Iowa sales tax, and contractors must obtain a 25-year manufacturer's warranty for the roofing system. While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly detailed, the solicitation emphasizes non-discrimination and encourages broad participation. The project will utilize Procore for project management at no cost to trade contractors, and successful bidders must provide project-specific insurance certificates, performance and payment bonds, and a detailed Schedule of Values. Though a specific award value was not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the roof replacement across two buildings suggests a significant capital investment. Bidders will be evaluated based on their ability to meet technical specifications, provide comprehensive documentation, and demonstrate compliance with facility security protocols.
