Newton Correctional Facility selected door, frame, and security-glazing replacement and repair

Iowa is seeking construction bids to replace and repair selected doors, frames, and security glazing at the Newton Correctional Facility. - Government buyer: Iowa Department of Administrative Services; work is at the Iowa Department of Corrections’ Newton Correctional Facility in Newton, Jasper County. - Scope: Base bid and four alternates cover door and frame replacement or repair, associated glazing and hardware, demolition, temporary barricades or partitions, and related patching and cleanup. Door assemblies are identified in Buildings A, H, K, and L; the project documents do not provide one consistent total door count. - Base-bid doors: K-003, H-002, H-003, and H-010 are listed for full replacement in the project manual. The drawings also identify H-007 as a base-bid replacement, while the manual describes H-007 as an alternate jamb repair; confirm final scope against the bid documents. - Alternate doors: H-009 and H-008B (Alternate 1), H-007 (Alternate 2 in the manual), A092 (Alternate 3), and L-011B (Alternate 4). Scope varies between full replacement and jamb-leg repair; L-011B also includes replacement of the exterior stoop. The drawings label H-002 as Alternate 3, differing from the manual’s base-bid listing. - Windows and glazing: Two fixed K-01 windows are specified with detention glazing. IsoClima’s ARMORGARD Ultimate Security Glass is the basis of design for detention glazing; IsoClima’s LEXGARD Laminated Polycarbonate MPC 375 is the basis of design for safety/view glazing. The documents allow architect-approved equal substitutions. - Other specified product: Tapcon or similar masonry fasteners for temporary partitions. Some hardware is owner-furnished and contractor-installed; electrical and controls integration is by the owner. - Notable requirements: Work must be phased to maintain egress and performed in coordination with an occupied correctional facility. Security provisions include background checks, PREA training, daily tool inventories, and facility coordination. Building K must be restored to functional operation within two weeks; weekend work is acceptable.
