Description

This is the fifth ITQ posted for vehicle mobility modification services. If you have already responded to ITQ1120283070, ITQ1120283085, ITQ1120283090, ITQ1121283002 and been added to the ITQ Prequalified Vendor List, please do not respond to this fifth ITQ. If you have questions about your status, please contact the Issuing Officer at david.kundid@iowa.gov.

This ITQ is designed to provide Respondents with the information necessary for the preparation of competitive proposals. The ITQ process is for the Agency’s benefit and is intended to provide the Agency with competitive information to assist in the selection process. It is not intended to be comprehensive. Each Respondent is responsible for determining all factors necessary for submission of a comprehensive Proposal.

We are pleased to announce the issuance of a fifth Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) for Vehicle Mobility Modifications (Mobility Modifications) for the Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services (IVRS). The Mobility Modifications are being funded through state funding and a federal formal grant from Rehabilitation Services Administration, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitation Services, US Department of Education.

The purpose of this Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) is to address the requirements of IVRS. The ITQ's purpose is threefold:

1. Accomplish Mobility Modifications in a manner consistent with State standards.
2. Reduce time required for solicitation of bids from Bidders for individual projects.
3. Standardize State of Iowa terms and conditions relating to all goods and services provided by Respondents, thereby creating consistency in the provision of goods and services.
You are invited to submit a response to this ITQ for consideration by the State of Iowa to be included in a Mobility Modifications multi-award ITQ.

A Respondent successfully meeting the ITQ requirements and criteria, in the sole opinion of the IVRS evaluation committee, will be placed on the ITQ Prequalified List. IVRS may then, if they so choose, limit their bid invitation for projects associated with the ITQ requirements to only the Qualified Respondents on the ITQ Prequalified List. IVRS may NOT contract for services directly with those on the ITQ Prequalified List but must follow the State’s Administrative Rules concerning the process for procurement of goods and services. (See Iowa Administrative Code 11-117 and 11-118)

The State reserves the right to open up the ITQ prequalification process at any time to enable additional Respondents to apply for pre-qualification. Qualified Respondents from this ITQ will not be required to re-apply in a subsequent ITQ and will remain qualified throughout the duration of the awarded ITQ, provided that they remain qualified for the ITQ per the ITQ requirements.
