Request for Subcontractor Qualifications for Iowa DOT Salix Inspection Building

This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) solicitation issued by W.A. Klinger on behalf of the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) for subcontractor qualifications related to the Salix Inspection Building project. The procurement seeks qualified subcontractors to submit Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) that demonstrate their ability to support this Iowa DOT initiative. While the RFQ document does not specify the exact goods or services to be provided, the solicitation indicates that responses should detail subcontractor qualifications, capabilities, and relevant experience for the Salix Inspection Building project. The submission deadline is April 28, 2026 at 4:00 PM CDT, with the RFQ opening having occurred on April 16, 2026 at 1:00 PM CDT. Prospective bidders must submit responses directly to Blake McCorkingdale at W.A. Klinger via phone (712-202-8507) or email (BMCORKINGDALE@WAKLINGER.COM), rather than through the standard IMPACS bidding system. Questions regarding the solicitation should be directed to Teri Schulz at the Iowa DOT (teri.schulz@iowadot.us or 515-239-1431). The RFQ references detailed instructions contained in attached RFQ Invitation documents (available in both PDF and Word formats) that establish the specific requirements and evaluation criteria for qualification submissions.

The available documentation does not identify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions limiting the types of organizations eligible to respond to this solicitation. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure integration requirements are specified in the preliminary RFQ materials. Similarly, the solicitation does not provide award values, contract duration, funding sources, or specific budget ranges for the Salix Inspection Building project. Prospective subcontractors should review the complete RFQ Invitation documents attached to the solicitation for comprehensive details regarding qualifications requirements, evaluation criteria, and any additional terms and conditions governing the procurement process.
