DPS Post 12 Driveway Repairs

The Iowa Department of Administrative Services (DAS) is soliciting bids for driveway and parking lot repairs at the Department of Public Safety (DPS) Post 12 located in Stockton, Iowa. The project encompasses two primary bid packages: a base bid for driveway repairs and an alternate bid for lower-level parking lot replacement. Specific project deliverables include pavement removal, subgrade treatment, installation of 7-inch Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavement, sidewalk improvements, ADA compliance upgrades, and associated site work. The project is scheduled to commence on June 12, 2023, with substantial completion targeted for October 16, 2023. Bidders must submit electronic proposals through the IMPACS Electronic Procurement System by February 23, 2023, at 2:00 PM, with a bid opening via teleconference at 3:00 PM the same day. An optional pre-bid meeting was held on February 8, 2023, and potential bidders were required to submit any questions by February 16, 2023. Evaluation will focus on the lowest responsible bidder, with a 5% bid security requirement.

The procurement opportunity includes specific requirements for bidder qualifications, with emphasis on non-discrimination and targeted small business enterprise compliance. Bidders must be registered in Iowa and classified as either resident or non-resident contractors. The project is exempt from Iowa Sales Tax and Davis-Bacon Wages. Contractors must provide a project-specific Certificate of Insurance, Performance and Payment bonds, and a list of subcontractors within 48 hours of bid opening. The state will utilize Procore for project management at no cost to contractors, and the contract will follow a modified ConsensusDocs 802 agreement. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the infrastructure improvements suggests a significant capital investment. The project allows for flexibility in phasing, with the critical requirement that at least one parking lot remains accessible throughout the construction period. Contractors will be responsible for preparing as-built drawings and must adhere to specific work hours between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM.
