HHS STS A. E. Shepard AC Replacement

The State of Iowa Department of Administrative Services (DAS) is seeking professional design services for replacing the existing exterior air-cooled condensing unit and coils at the HHS STS A.E. Shepard facility. The scope of work includes creating construction drawings and specifications, conducting field examinations, coordinating design reviews, and providing construction administration services. The project is scheduled to begin in late October 2024, with design services kicking off in early November and construction activities taking place from March 2025 to August 2025. Proposals are due by October 15, 2024, at 2 pm Central Time, and the designer is expected to be selected and the contract executed by late October 2024.

The RFP encourages Targeted Small Businesses to submit proposals, and the contract will utilize the modified ConsensusDOC 803 form. Interested firms must demonstrate relevant experience, qualifications of assigned staff, and financial stability. The RFP requests lump sum pricing for the design services, broken down by construction documents, bidding/negotiation assistance, and construction phase services, and DAS will also consider unit pricing for additional construction site visits beyond the 8 visits included in the base scope. The budget or award value for this project is not explicitly stated in the provided documents.
