Site work for a sidewalk / parking lot in Mount Pleasant, Iowa. Completed plans call for site work for a one-story above grade sidewalk / parking lot.

The project involves the replacement of the upper parking lot at the Department of Public Safety Post 13. Design services are required for the complete demolition and removal of the existing upper parking lot and installation of new concrete paving, including construction drawings and specifications that define demolition limits, rough grading for the new aggregate base, pavement striping, accessible parking layouts, and associated handicap signage. The project also includes the replacement of the sidewalk and front stoop areas with consideration for current ADA compliance requirements and solutions to prevent water infiltration into the vestibule. Coordination with geotechnical investigations, support for integration of recommendations from the geotechnical report, and all necessary survey work are part of the scope. The selected designer must also participate in multiple scheduled reviews, provide material recommendations, comply with all relevant federal and state codes, and assist in bidding and construction administration, including submittals, RFIs, periodic site visits, and preparation of closeout documentation. All documents prepared are to be provided in their native computer format and PDF, and all costs for the use of State-required management software are covered by the owner. Pricing submitted must be a lump sum inclusive of reimbursables, with a unit price for additional site visits. Eight site visits at key project milestones are required at a minimum, with more as deemed necessary by the proposer.
