Mount Pleasant Correctional Facility Building 20 Plumbing Replacement

The Iowa Department of Administrative Services is seeking bids for the Mount Pleasant Correctional Facility Building 20 Plumbing Replacement project, a comprehensive infrastructure upgrade located at 1200 E Washington St in Mount Pleasant, Iowa. The procurement involves three distinct bid packages: Architectural Prime Contractor (BP 01), Mechanical Prime Contractor (BP 02), and Abatement Contractor (BP 03), which collectively encompass demolition, installation of new water service lines, concrete floor cutting/patching, tile floor replacement, ceiling removal/reinstallation, and electrical component work. The project requires complete removal and replacement of existing waste, vent, and domestic water piping systems across the basement, first, second, and third floors of Building 20. Bidders must submit proposals through the IMPACS Electronic Procurement System by 2:00 pm on May 28th, 2025, with an anticipated construction start date of July 7th, 2025, and projected completion by May 29th, 2026. An optional pre-bid meeting is scheduled for May 13th, 2025, at 1:00 pm, and bidders are required to comply with Iowa Labor Commissioner registration, Federal and State Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity requirements, and Iowa State Building Code standards.

The contract opportunity provides opportunities for Targeted Small Businesses in accordance with Chapter 73 of the Code of Iowa and includes provisions for both resident and nonresident bidders. Bidders must submit a bid security of 5% of the total bid amount, which can be a bid bond, cashier's check, or certified check drawn on a solvent bank. The project is exempt from Iowa Sales Tax, and Davis-Bacon Wages will not apply. Prospective contractors must adhere to specific documentation requirements and labor preference tracking guidelines. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project—involving approximately 1,200 linear feet of thermal system insulation pipe and 175 mudded fittings to be removed—suggests a significant investment in infrastructure renewal. The Iowa Department of Administrative Services reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to waive irregularities, maintaining flexibility in the procurement process.
