Truss Building

The City of Cedar Rapids is requesting sealed electronic bids for the construction of a Truss Building, with a submission deadline of October 9, 2024, at 11:00 AM CDT. Bidders must submit their responses exclusively through the City’s online E-Procurement portal, IonWave, as submissions via email, fax, or hard copies will not be accepted. The project is valued between $500,000 and $1,500,000 and is managed by the City’s Facilities Maintenance Services Division. After the bid opening, which occurs promptly at the deadline, the City will evaluate the submissions and distribute a bid tabulation summary to all participants. Bids can be withdrawn prior to the closing time but cannot be modified or withdrawn for 60 days afterward. The primary contact for inquiries is Ann Baker, reachable via email or phone. The procurement process emphasizes transparency and fairness, with bid results not disclosed over the phone before award. The contract is part of a broader set of solicitations, including requests for quotations on signage and bids for fire engine re-bids and garage door installations in other municipalities, indicating the City’s ongoing infrastructure and facility development projects. The detailed documentation and addenda associated with these solicitations highlight the importance of adhering to specific bid instructions, specifications, and compliance requirements, ensuring competitive and compliant responses from vendors interested in providing construction, signage, or other related services.
