Painting Services

The Des Moines Public Schools is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for painting services, with a contract period starting from July 1, 2025, and concluding on June 30, 2026. Interested suppliers are required to complete specific sections of the RFP, including the ATTRIBUTES and LINE ITEMS tabs, and review their pricing structures prior to submission. The district encourages cost-saving proposals through process improvements, alternative ordering methods, or other efficiencies, and notes that any planned price increases may lead to the product category being re-bid through a formal solicitation process. The contract is valued between $500,000 and $1,500,000, and the primary point of contact for inquiries is David Niemi, reachable via email. The solicitation is posted under the NAICS code 238320, indicating a focus on painting and wall covering contractors, and is managed by the Iowa-based Des Moines Public Schools organization. The accompanying legal context emphasizes transparency and public access to government records under Iowa’s Chapter 22 Open Records Law. This law grants the public the right to examine and copy records held by government entities, with specific provisions for handling confidential information, FOIA requests, and associated fees. These legal guidelines ensure accountability and openness in government operations, providing a framework for lawful access and the management of public records within Iowa.
